.NON-|NFLAMMABLE
BALLOONGASFOUND

Discovery Of an inert, non-infiam-
mable gas for balloons. dirigibles
and other lighter-than-air craft was
revealed by the Navy Department to-
day in a statement explaining expen-
ditures for its production now being
made jointly with the army.
The department said the use OF this
new element, officially termed
"argon." will eliminate the hazard of
fire and explosion that always has
accompanied balloon operations where
hydrogen has been used to indate the
gas bags.
The gas from which "argon" is OBJ
tanned comes from the wells at Pc
trolis, Tex. owned by the Lone Star
Gas Company, the statement said, and
a ten-inch pipeline, to cost 81 .050 900
Is being laid for a distance OF ninety
four miles from the wells to a plant
at North Fort Worth. where the gas
will be compressed into cylinders TO-
shipment to the balloop fields.
High-proof gasolene is obtained In
q ratio OF about 1--WE gallons per 1000
cubic feet OF gas, IL was said. and
after the 1 per cent Of -argon' is re-
moved. by agreement with the Lone
Star Company, the remainder of the
gas is turned into the city mains OF
Fort Worth and Dallas.
The department estimates that the
plant at North Fort Worth. designed
by the navy bureau OF yards and
docks, and which will cost $500 900,
will be completed by next April 1.

that it has been very slow in coming.
Although the roads have been able
to secure more men for motormen
and conductors, they have not so far,
it is said, secured a sufficient number
of trained or experienced men. The
inexperienced crews bring about tie
ups and mishaps that upset car
schedules disastrously imposing upon
the public continued hardships- The
promise is held out that with the re-
lease OF soldiers from camps the
roads will be able to get more valu-
able men for their work.
Among the men now employed there
Is said to be more stability and re-
sponsibility than during the war when
there were difficulties in getting any
type OF men for crew service.
The Public Utilities Commission has
been keenly disappointed in the poor
car service on the lines OF one COM
pany, and informal consideration has
been given to lacking up the OIL
cisis Rather than do this at once the
commission will await the outcome of
efforts to obtain more and better men
