Anyone can safely buy and hold property in a community that is
well served by Natural Gas because it is certain to grow. Do you realize
that the growth in property values due directly or indirectly to the com-
munity asset of Natural Gas offsets the cost of gas consumed for heat-
ing and cooking? YES, Natural Gas is a real asset to Houston and YOUR
Gas Company is proud to stimulate the growth of the community by
rendering an always dependable service.

Houston has lately raised a fund with which to advertise to the
world the industrial advantages of this great city. To the men in charge
- of this campaign we suggest that the fact that Houston is served with
an UNINTERRUPTED supply of Natural Gas be made a leading fea-
ture of this campaign. Cheap, dependable fuel is the first consideration
in locating a new industry.

Georg Brandes, late Danish Jewish

the Danish parliament when it voted

Sinclair Lewis has struck the bull's
eye once more. In “Main Street”
he exposed the drabness of provincial
life in the Gopher Prairies of America;
in "Babbitt” he disssected the ‘suc-
cessful "booster” and “go-getter"; in
"Arrowsmith” he unfolded charlatan-
ism in many aspects of the medical
profession, paying tribute at the same
time to the physician who is faith
ful to the highest principles of his
calling in "Elmer Gantry." Mr
Lewis has impaled beneath his micro-
scope the ministerial species. He
will.be accused of being anti-clerical.

Judaism the religion also on the
rocks? I have no desire to force
every Jew into the synagogue; I
have utmost good will towards sec-
l ularism -in Jawish.....thought, and —a.
recognition that a person can be a
Jew without affiliation with the
‘synagogue. But I am critical when
an intellectual shows so little in
tellectual curiosity, not to mention
social interests, as to be unwilling
to inquire concerning his people and
their life in a land far away from,
his own. For this only do I speak
as I do of Jacob Wassermann. "In
Deutschland sind wir fern davon."

Houston industries now using Natural Gas will, it is estimated,
consume more than two billion cubic feet during 1927, and facts and
figures will show that these industries receive a much lower‘rate than
is enjoyed by much larger cities. YOUR Gas Company is making every
effortan d exerting every energy, not only to keep up with the progress
of Houston, but to keep ahead of it—if it is to do this—if it is to reach
out with its expensive mains to outlying property,, it must have a fair
rate for its product.T hat is all it asks—FAIR PLAY AND FAIR PAY.
