HAS ONLY HEuUM
PLANT IN THE WORLD
NoninfiammabIe Balloon Filler
Made by Government at
Fort Worth, Tex.

The only helium plant In the world
is being erected In North Fort Worth,
Tex. by the United States navy depart
ment at a cost Of 100000. The plants
product is expected to remove the last
danger element from ballooning.
Experts declare that production of
helium In quantities will soon make 1t
possible for big passenger and freight
airships to travel everywhere. and that
the airship as a war weapon will sur
PISS even the feet airplane.
Helium. the material Count Zeppelin
needed to make his big airships a sue
cess, removes the danger of fire from
the gas filling In the balloon.
The natural gas Of certain wells at
Petrolia. In Clay county, is the best
ever found for the extraction of the
helium. The products of the wells will
be piped to Fort Worth, prepared for
the balloons and distributed. The gov
ernment Is now building the pipe line
ut a cost of $4.O00,OO 0
Helium is said to be approximately
81 per cent OF the lifting power Of
hydrogen and is noninfiammable. An
airship inflated with helium cannot be
brought down In flames. Heretofore
the ~gas-nlled balloon was at the mercy
OF the quicker airplanes, which could
set the balloon blazing with bullets.
When America entered the world
wal the British government referred
to the United States bureau Of mines
the industrial production of helium.
Such . substitute for hydrogen was
known to- exist. but Its cost was Deem
ed p~rohibitiveA
Funds for experimental work we're
provided BY the joint army and navy
board Of rigid airships. The expert
ment plant was erected at q cost Of
$4,000.
Greatest secrecy was exercised BY
the government In conducting the ex-
pertinent. Soldiers were kept on guard
duty day and night. Newspapers we're
cautioned against mentioning exist
ence Of the plant until the armistice
was signed.
The permanent plant will be in fun
operation by April !, according to the
announcement OF naval officers.
