I BIG FIELD MEET SLSHTOKDA3T Lftor Talking Mad Following: yesterday's general statements concerning the large amounts of gas used in this section we will take the amounts used in Denver, Colo, for purposes 'of comparison. On April 10th this year Denver used 4.143,000 cubic feet of artificial gas as against the consumption of 25,646,000 cubic feet natural gas in Kansas City.

Denver on this date had 45,246 meter consumers, and Kansas City approximately 65,000 meter consumers, so that on the date given Denver used 91 1-2 cubic feet gag per consumer as against Ka nsas City's 394 1-2 cubic feet of gas per consumer. Had each Kansas City family used only as much gas as the aver-ago Denver family on April 10, Kansas City's artificial gas demand would have been 5.947,500 cubic feet As natural gas contains in general terms. 1.000 t. or hMt units per 1,000 cubic feet as against 600, B. uV or lilt unit, in artificial gas, Kansas City, if using 'the same amount of ga' per consumer as Denver, would have had use for onlv Vk Cn re than "Telt'Zr1 Ci'ty more than 7 times many heat units per consumer on that day as Third Depot Battalion of the Signal Carps to Have Athletic Events Leavenworth Merchants HaTe Donated Prizes.

neers are to leave here this week. Nothing definite, however, is given out on this. Most of the soldiers in the Thirty-first regiment are wr trained and they are anxious for oversea service. Nearly all of the soldiers for the Thirty-first regiment are f-om Washington an Oregon and they had considerable military training before they came to Fort Leavenworth. Host of them were experienced railroad men and it is known as a railroad regiment.

They are a fine body of men physically. They picked up military drill rapdily and are sure to render good service in the war zone when they get to France. There Is considerable shifting of troops at Fort Leavenworth of late. Detachments go out every few day while others come in to take their places. There are over 6,000 soldiers at the Fort now, and this number and more will be kept in training here this summer.
