MORE ABOUT HELICM
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

Petrolia fields. Later third plant was
opened in the field itself
The history of the development OF
the helium resources Of this country Is
the most wonderful of all, involving ex-
perts from all over the nation and
finally bringing into the story chem
lists from overseas, sent by the English
government to lend a hand in the work.
The principle of the helium process
can best be described in the words of
States geological survey, whose recent
death in South America was great
blow to science.
THE details of the process of ex-
tracing helium are highly technical,
DR.. Rogers once said, but the general
scheme is easily understood.
"All of the main constituents OF
natural gas, including nitrogen, become
lquefied when cooled to about --32S
degrees Fahrenheit, but the helium re-
mains gas even at this exceedingly
low Temperature, and is thus easily
separated.

come hot then if the air is allowed to
cool to an ordinary temperature, the
valve opened and the air allowed to
escape, it becomes cool.
Similarly the natural gas is put I'M

frigerated, and when allowed to cool II

become liquids. The liquid. after be-
ing separated from the helium, is then
allowed to warm up and when it has
returned to its normal gaseous state is
put back in the mains and used for
fuel" q

Airplanes in the West.
An oil man from Tulsa. Okla, recently
placed the biggest order for commercial
airplanes yet on record. His bill will
total S2,500,000. The order includes 200
planes of the oriole and seagull type,
three-seated land machines and flWng
boats, and 247 training planes.
This large order brings to notice the
fact that oil men have been heavy
purchasers of airplanes during the past
year One salesman alone reports hay
Ing sold 100 planes to oil operators They
give their owners a big advantage over
competitors who still travel by automo-
bile. whenever a new strike Is made

the following percentages: De Beers,

amounts supplied will be based upon the

This means that no matter what the

Aside from the brisk demand for pre-
