The advent of natural gas inaugurates a new era for Casper. Its use as fuel opens wonderful possibilities in industrial affairs as well as in the home life of the city. The supply is convenient in location and inexhaustible in quantity. Yesterday marked its first use at the great oil refineries, to sup~ ply fuel and power in the various processes of re- fining crude oil and the manufagture of. the by- products. Within another two to three weeks gas for domestic purposes will be available in the south section of the city. It is understood that as rapid- ly as possible the mains will be extended to other portions of the city so that within a year at least ata gas will be at the door of every house- old. The convenience and desirability of gas for both commercial and domestic purposes is too well | established to require more than passing comment. Its general use is assured. For most people.in this day and age are familiar with its advantages. Gas has placed the city in a very advantageous position, both as regards industry and fuel supply. Its value as an asset cannot be over-estimated. The New York Oil Company, through whose en- terprise the gas supply is made available, is to be congratulated as well as commended and the people | of Casper felicitated upon their good £ fortune. TO LESSEN THE DEATH TOLL! Many cities and towns throughout the country have begun to take note of the deaths and acci- dents caused by automobiles. Statutes have been enacted and ordinances adopted from time to time in states and cities, but these have in no sense oper- ated to lessen the number of deaths caused or the accidents that occur. The death toll in the larger cities is alarming when totaled at the end of the year. The cry is going up from all over the land that there are entirely too many fatalities from the one cause, E The cities of New York and Chicago are par- ticularly alarmed. In the former city 702: fatali- ties occurred in 1919 and for the nine months of the present year an even greater number is shown | to have lost their lives, which in all probability will bring the total much higher than in 1919. The Chicago figures show a less-number of deaths, but an almost equal number of accidents. The acci- dents in the two cities run into the thousands. Then with all towns and cities throughout the country having, more or less the same experience, the total grows to alarming proportions. So great has the public concern grown e where in this regard that authorities of states and cities have begun to discuss ways and means to fe- duce the death rate and prevent accidents. Remedies in increasing number are brought forward, but the enactment of new and amend- ment of existing laws, providing more drastic fea- tures of regulation, do not meet the situation so} long as rigid enforcenrent is not compelled. New York has reached one conclusion at ‘least, and ts about to commission a thousand additional. traffic officers. Other cities incline to follow the New York idea. Preventable deaths and accidents aré the onés aimed at.’ In the general use, which the automo- bile thas attained in American transportation, it is realized that tatalities and accidents are bound to Bccur, which public precaution cannot govern. But it is believed that means can be found to lessen the great needless sacrifice of human life by intelligent co-operative action of public authorities and owners. and drivers of cars. This is the problem that is facing the people of | every American city and town: How to make the public streets safe for pedestrians and to protect drivers of cars against the drivers of other cars. Casper, while singularly free from automobile accidents, still has had a share of experience, more than is desirable; and with the steadily increasing number of machines in the public traffic, it is folly to fancy that we are immune to accideht-or have any special security enjoyed by no other town or city. _ The ‘street trafic in Casper is sufficiently ex- tensive to require traffic officers, at several of the dowatown intersections, on duty at all times.

OF NORMALS. The point is this.’ .Haye we been gradually over a pericd of years, or did the shaking up the world war gave us set us all awry and start us off at a different tangent? We don’t seem to be the same plain, frugal and every day people we were awhile back. »Some-. come over us, or overcome us, or happened to us to make us different. Now, what is it? Does. anyone, pretend to. say that we get as be termed Hic simpler days? We have been frequently told and it is provicg i war normal are to be two very different nor- mals. If the old normal isto go and actually to be scrapped, we'll say farewell to her, but at the same time we'll insist that we ‘are giving up a whole lot of comfortable normal and on the whole not Abad normal at all. A brief inventory of what we get out’ of ‘our re- modeled existence might be interesting to con- firmed old-timers. Here is what it looks like: $1,219,000,000 worth -of candy, a: strong aver- sion to regular bone labor, an unlimited variety of soft drinks, picture. shows galore, silk stockings, rubber-tired spectacles and Camel cigarettes. Lux- uries in ‘the old day, necessities in this. Necessities of the cave-man. period that “have entirely disap- peared in the evolution may be mentioned, are: Drinking liquor, chewing tobacco and straight and uncompromising party politics. Have we gained anything in the exchange of normals? It took a pretty good. man to survive the or- deal of former times: ‘Most anybody can get by under they new order. “The line of least resist- ance,” has rather supplanted the “hew. to the line” spirit that governed before we made the last grand stride in advancement. ” America,” sala Mary. “if I did not already’ like cha ‘for!

In a car borrowed from a friend, the sergeant took them on a-sight-seéing tour of Washington and ¢ that Mary entertained them’ all at @ luncheon in her apartments. ‘It was a beautiful antumn day when} the sunshine of the national capital, was brightest and the air crispest. Mr. Miller’ rode with the sergeant in the’ front seat, while Mrs. Miller, Mary and the Léutenant were in ‘the back. For Mary it was the first day off duty since. the Millers had come to the city.. She was at her best and happiest and the lieutenant was overjoyed to see how his father and mother lagdin suecumbed to her influence, Of course Washington was a revela tion fo the visitors, its wide streets, its ‘massive buildings and the beauty of all its surroundings. The lieutenant and Watson lectured by turns on the sights, and now and then Mary ex- plained something that they had over- looked. “What “does the inscription sor asked Mr.-Miller when they stopped for a:moment at the corner of Fifteenth street and H. ‘ “It's the War Risk Insurance. bufld- ing that was erected during the hostilj- ties in Europe,” said Watyon. ‘The in- scription says that 4t Was built under the direction of Wiliam G.

One among ‘many. reasons is that there were charged up against shipbuilding expenses like these: Band concerts, glee clubs, police ball tickets, club bills of individuals, house dues, athletics, football cickets, expenses to army and navy football game, contri- butions te chamber of commerce, campaign for a merchant marine, subscriptions to the Elks’ ccn- vention, subscriptions to St. John’s Church. On two ships alone there was charged off for such items as these, $1,000,000. Warren Harding says\of the balled-up provis- ions of Wilson’s league: “I do not want to clarify those obligations.. I want to turn my back on them. It is not interpretation, but rejection, that 1 am seeking.” A year after the war a man went to the war department to sell it more auto trucks.

Secretary of ‘War Baker was to make a speech at Nitro, the, great government plant in West Vir- ginia., To make room for the meeting, new lumber, piled 10 feet high, was cleared away, from_an acre and a‘half of ground, hauled to a distance and burned to get rid of it. When the wat was in progress contracts were let for gondola cars to be used in France. They were made in Indiana. Shipments went right om after the war. In the summer of 1919 they were still going on. They may be going on yet. MAUD AND THE JUDGE. Maul Muller on a’ busy day Bossed the farm hands making hay.
