There was a fai r attendance at the ga s cooking demonstration at the Soldiers’ Hall yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the Hokitika Gas CoyLtd. Mrs G. Heinz was the demonstrator, and prepared several dainties. A gas cooking sheet prepared 'by the Christchurch Gas o°y., was distributed to those present. The sheet contained the menu and recipes for ten dinners with instructions as to cooking, and the cost also was detailed. The full dinner can be put in the gas oven at once and th© jet set, to a number, which will thoroughly cook the whole meal at once and to the required hour for serving. Copies of the sheet may be had at the Gas Office, Stafford •Street.

The .hoodlum element which appears at times, is again in evidence on mischief bent. Last night some nine panes of glass were broken in the windows of the pavilion on Gas s Square. This is a most thoughtless action on the part of the rising generation as the Square is kept in order for their .use, and they also have the free use of the pavilion and appointments fo r their games as required. Unfortunately there i s at present an epidemic of stone throwing and window breaking, and the presence of the police in the suburban streets at night might be a useful deterrent. Unfortunately, also, the damage mentioned above is not singular. Last Friday night some very thoughtless youths plastered part of f, he Cenotaph in Cass 'Square with

mud, and it required a considerable quantity of water to restore the memorial .'the next morning. We believe the names of these offenders are known, arid the authorities might well take the matter up and administer a sharp reprimand “o that this prediction to mischief will be checked at once.
