one Good Result From War.

The production on a commercial
scale Of helium, second only to hydro
gen as the lightest gas, is not least
striking Of the industrial effects OF
the war. Though 2.13 times as heavy
as hydrogen, its lifting power is only
8 per cent less in the air, and, as it
Is inert and non-infiammable, It sup.
plies the mea of making the airship
safe. Though detected s~pectroscopic-
ally In the sun by Lockyer in 1868,
helium was first discovered on the
earth by Ramsay in 1905. 1T exists in
all radium minerals, such as ~cleveite
and thorianite, but the small quantity
that had been extracted before last
year cost some thousands Of dollars
per cubic FOOT Through the arrange
ments now being made, the / per cent
Of helium In natural gases will be OBJ
tanned at about 800 per 1000 cubic
Feet.

GAUGE.

Miss Elsie DeWolfe was talking at
the New York Colony club about youth.
"You can Judge peoples intelli-
gence," she said, "by their attitude to-
wards youth. I once heard a con-
versation between two old maids, the
one intelligent, and the other stupid.
As they sat In the winter garden
Of their Florida hotel after dinner,
the stupid old maid said:
"Look at those young men and
girls flirting under the date palms In
the moonlight. Why should young
people make such fools Of them
selves?"
Maybe said the intelligent old
maid, it's Because they have the
chance" ~

explained that she had just opened her New York house, and that moths were

Des, is being used n Washington to win recognition of the police union. The
District commissioners. on the other hand, have taken a position from which
they assert they will not retre-that no member of the force may belong to
a police union affiliated with a labor organization. The commissioners have
fu jurisdiction. but already the contest has extended to congress and it is
likely that before the struggle is ended a vote on some phase of the question
will be forced.
For example, Senator Myers of Montana proposed in the senate that
congress interpose by refusing to vote the pay of any member of the Washing
ton police force who belonged to a union. In pointing out the national i'm
portance Of the question the Montana senator said:
eff the police department of the District of Columbia is permitted t
un1onize and affiliate with a superior body Of organized labor, you may be
that the police forces all over the country will follow suit and do the
thing"
Senator Thomas of Colorado said he thought congress should inform the
District commissioners that it was squarely behind them.

Our Book Of Doom,

A dOOmsday book of a new sort has
been produced by the alien property
custodian. 1t approximates 500 pages
and sets out the names of the enemy
concerns that have been found in the
United States, The custodian thinks
his efforts have been without real cost
to the country, since he brought to
light for the treasury to collect more
than 100000 in INCOME taxes which
were being evaded. Besides the Gus
todian turned some Of the German con-
Germs to war work and had them pro-
duce $3O,OO0,0O0 worth of supplies.
The custOdian's new book, says Ma
TONS Business, contains u deal of
comfort for Americans who have
claims against Germany and who have
been wondering If they will have to
wait for payment until Germany makes
up her mind about the variety of gov
eminent she likes best. The state de-
partment has limited that American
claimants may get immediate reim-
bursement from the funds the cuSto-
dian has collected.

sKILLFUL PIECE OF WORK
Novel Feat Of Engineering Recently
Put to the Credit Of, American
Bridge Builders.

Not long ago 1t was discovered. that
the piers of the combined highway and
railroad bridge across the Missouri
river at st. Joseph, Mo-, were in bad
condition and it would be necessary
to build new piers. At first it was
proposed to build the new piers on
the downstream side of the old bridge
and shift the bridge laterally to the
new position, in this way maintaining
traffic over the old bridge while the
new construction was going on. But
the war department required the in
stallation of larger draw-span in the
bridge and so 1t was decided to build
the new piers between the old piers.
After they were completed, the fixed
spans of the bridge were moved shore
ward endwise, so that they rested on
the new piers. A temporary span was
constructed to fill the gap thus Oc-
casioned, so that traffic was closed
over the bridge for less than ten hours.
Then work was begun upon the new
swing span, which was built as canti-
lever In open position. To permit of
this, a portion of the old Swing-Span
had to be cut away and a temporary
lift-span was put in to take care of
river traffic. Thus the bridge was re-
constructed without changing it's

LEARNING TO BIZ A CIVILIAN
Discharged British aeIdler Testifies
That He Finds New Feeling
Out Of Uniform.

Is the glamor of uniform wearIn.'
off? !"
After three years Of service clothes
have just spent my first days in
civilian attire. Surprising to tell. |
believe l have met with more civIlitN
out of uniform than in it, "R. G.
writes in the continental edition of tn
London Mail.
Two possible solutions of this re
markable attitude occur to me. The
first is that most officers appear to bt
rather stern and stand offish in uni
form. The other solution, and per
haps an equally probable one, is that
the public Is getting tired of seeing
so many officers going about aimlessly
with apparently nothing much to do
except to spend money and kill time.
Naturally, suppose, when l first
went out in "civvies" l had the in
grained inclination to salute all SUI
periOr officers ! met and to prepare to
take salutes from the ranks. 1t took
me the best part of day to overcome
this impulse.
The "sir" habit was very strong, too.
On my first morning as a civilian l
had to see colonel at the war office
on Observation-Disclosures in which our
standing was at least equal-and
Immediately stirred" him, of course.
Force of habit, pure and simple.
Again there is the matter of running
after an omnibus or across the road
in uniform one tries to make a point
of not doing these things. Now, how
ever, when example" has not longer
to be considered. find 1t practically
impossible to chase an omnibus or
flee from an oncoming taxicab. The
instinct Is against doing so.
Apparently it is just as necessary to
relearn how to be civilian as 1t
once was to learn how to be soldier.
