Helium and Future Aeronautics.

When Ramsay discovered helium, about the
time the Curies produced metal radium, the
whole theory Of matter was upset Heum had
existed as line in the solar spectrum but was
only suspected on earth. It's presence in the
atmosphere being detected, it was sought for
elsewhere. Ramsay later found that the radium
emanation automatically changed into heiium
gas, but this only served to puzzle scientists
without aiding in their quest.
Helium Sas is non-inflammable, and is 90 per
cent as buoyant as hydrogen, which is the limit
of lifting power in ballooning. Could it be
provided in sufficient quantity, all danger of
burning balloons would easily be obviated
Where would it be discovered1
Oklahoma and Texas oil fields have answer
ed the question Patrons of the natural gas
distributors in these localities complained that
a great deal Of the gas furnished them would
not burn. Investigation has proven this gas
to be heiium. Just when the war ended the
government had 100000 pounds of it bottled
up and ready to ship to France for use in the
American observation balloons.
But the coming of peace has not closed the
aeronautic activity of the army and navy, and
hydrogen gnites as readily from a spark of
static electricity as from an incendiary bullet
Some very unpleasant experiences have been
endured at Fort Omaha and elsewhere because
of this fact and the propensity of the silk bags
to generate spark in highly charged atmo-
sphere.
1t is proposed that the government acquire
the sources Of supply of helium gas. So far
as is known, they exist only in America, and are
of use only for the governments purposes
Here is one place where congress can do a
really good turn to the country, by preserving
for use an extremely valuable material that is
now wasted

CLOSING WEEK OF CONGRESS.

At noon on Tuesday of next week the Sixty
fifth session Of congress ends by constitutional
limitation. On the following day, according to
announcement made, the president expects to
start for a second visit to Paris in connection
with the peace negotiations.
Where will this leave the affairs of the
eountry7
The revenue bill has been passed, and awaits
the signature of the president He will not
have time to read it, much less digest it. and at
tend to other matters that he expects to give
attention. Therefore, he will approve whatever
congress has done in the matter.
Only two Of the big appropriation bills have
passed, and one of these, the important army
measure, has not yet emerged from conference.
The navy BILL the sundry civil bill, and all others
that set apart money for the support of the gov
ernments activities, are yet to go through, The
sundry civil bill was only reported to the house
on Saturday, and is certain to encounter stub
born battle there, even though rule has been
adopted limiting debate on it's provisions to
FIVE hours. The navy bill will be the subject
of protracted struggle, owing to the difference
of opinion between the administration and its
opponents as to the presidents program.
No mention need be given the immense vol
ume of other public business, such as the rail-
road bill, the future of the merchant marine
and the Victory loan, now before congress- 1t
will not get consideration, and many bills of
most urgent importance in connection with the
reconstruction period will die with the session.
The week is to be given up almost entirely
to debate on the League of Nations. If legis-
laton goes through at all, it will be iammed
into and out of the mill, regardless of whether
it is in proper form. Public interests have APP
parently been entirely lost sight of by the ma
jority party which is deliberately Sinking the
work that it may pass the problems over to
the next congress,
And the president hopes to postpone calling
that congress together until he has concluded
what he deems more important business abroad.
If he will but convene an extraordinary session,
our home affairs may be prevented from getting
into deeper tangle. His own party has fallen
down on the job; will he give the republicans
a chance?

Revolution IN Bavaria.

The murder Of Kurt Eisner, followed by the
bloody revolt in Munich and the declaration of
a soviet republic there, are sinister indications
of how far bolshevist disorder has spread
through the German empire. 1t was not an
especial surprise that the revolution took the
form of the Spartacan outbreak at Berlin or
that Hamburg and other Prussian cities were
to some extent involved. Observers have
leaned to the belief thatsin Bavaria a different
spirit would prevail, and that there order would
be more readily established. Seizure Of power
by Eisner and his associates was the first step
in this direction. His failure to agree with
Ebert and Schiedemann as to certain details in
the general program did not materially affect
the outlook. Bavaria's desire to remove the
center of political activity from Berlin was not
to be realized. Now with Eisner dead and his
party divided between the moderate and extreme
socialists. and the latter apparently in control
we may expect further news of civil war in
Germany. This will have little effect on the
terms Of peace, but may delay formal action
some, for the treaty can not be concluded until
the Germans present government with whom
the Allies can deal

SIigkting the Middle West

The program proposed by the shipworlers
for the stimulation of American shipbudng is
doubtless in accord with our national interest.
There is no reason why we should place con-
tracts in foreign shipyards if the work can be
done in this country. It may be assumed, how
ever, that the exorbtant demands Of American
sipworkers for higher wages have tended to pro-
duce the situation of which the men now COM
plain.
These are questions, however, which do not
Immediately concern the middle west. Ulti-
mately the states in this area would benefit by
a satisfactory shipbuilding program, and no one
is opposing the efforts to put one in operation.
But the people Of the middle west can hardly
fail to notice that in the case of shipbuilding,
as in the case Of most industries which the
government is seeking to foster, the benefit ac-
crues to some other section of the country The
middle west is not asking for special favors; it
is not trying to divert public funds for useless
projects. The middle west is entitled to state
the fact, however, that the east, the far west
and the south have received the greatest share
of attention, not to speak of public funds, from
the federal authorities
In these matters of reconstruction we want a
national policy which will assure benefits ap-
proximately equal for all parts of the country.

Asks Money For Palestine.

Omaha, Feb. 22.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: Rabbi Stephen Wise,
who has just returned from France,
has good news for everyone who
wants to help rebuild Palestine. 1t
is an honor to give for good cause.
1t is also your duty to help rebuild
the home of a suffering and wander
ing people. Many people will go to
Palestine from all over the world,
Jewish and other suffering national
tiles will go to Palestine to make
their home there. When you will
some day make a trip to see historic
Palestine you will feel proud to say
that You are one of those who helped
put Palestine on the map as a free
place for all nationalities. 1t takes
men, money and brains to build up
Palestine There are plenty OF men
in sight to do the work, they will
only be too glad to get away from
dark and anarchistic Russia, where a
few murderers organized a gang
called the bolsheviki.
There must be some cash in sight
to get those sufferers away from
Russia if it can be done before it is
too late, before they catch the dis
ease called bolshevism-those an
archists are just like poisonous
germs. The innocent people must be
taken away from the poisonous
germs, then the germs are bound to
die out one by one.
Is there any Jew who refuses to
help financially to rebuild Pales-
tine? Take an example from the
Irishmen-wouldn't the Irishmen
give their last dollar if they have to,
to help Ireland after Great Britain
says that Ireland is free? After the
whole world says that the Jews can
have Palestine if they want it, it
is time for everybody to help and
give to the Palestine Restoration
fund. 1t doesn't matter whether you
are a Jew or a Gentle. You may
subscribe, stating the amount, to the
Zionist Organization of America, IS
Fifth Avenue, New York City. Ask
for all information you want to get
about the plans Of the restoration of
Palestine. You may send a check or
you may send a pledge that you will
give a certain amount.
