LIBERAL LIONS HELD
ROUSING MEETING

Regular meeting of the Lions
Club of Liberal was held at the CHM
aron Hote Monday noon. Chairman
of the meeting was C. M. Light. A
favorable report was made by the
park committee of the club, consist
ing of H. Hobble, Ed Donnelly, F.>W.
Fortna, and Fred Beatty, which re-
port was to the effect that c. M.
Light had offered to the city thru
the Lions club, tract of land 185x
$40, at the north end of Kansas Ave.
on the west side Of the street, which
joins a similar tract owned by the
city, providing the city would i'm
prove and beautify the entire tract,
and dedicate it for park purposes
for the city. After the meeting,
Mayor Griffith called on the county
commissioners and secured the prom
Use of another tract of like size which
joins right up to Kansas Ave, and
and the Commissioners promised this
parcel of La ! to put in on the park,
which makes the tract of something
like fifteen acres which will consti-
tute the first city park Of Liberal,
and arrangements will be made inn
mediately to secure landscape art
list, who will advise the best way to
beautify this ground and imme-
diately provision will be made
for the planting of trees, and other
wise making our most needed civic
improvement a reality. If the Lions
Club puts this proposition over in
good shape, they will deserve the
thanks and good will of the people |
of this entire community, because
this will be most valuable asset to
our city and county. Motion was
made and carried with loud applause
that Mr.. Light be accorded a vote of
thanks for his generosity in offer
ing this land for so good cause.
We should have more men in this
community like Charlie Light, men
whose big heartedness and loyalty
make our town better place in
which to live.
Motion was made and carried that
the next meeting would be held on
Monday evening at P. M. and that
every Lion should bring as a guest
his wife. or if unmarried lady
friend. Meeting will be at the Cim-
AKRON hotel, and G. L. Light will
act as chairman.
Tail Twister Kennedy advised
that any Lion failing to attend the
next luncheon and bring his wife
would be severely dealt with, and
another Lion would be appointed to
escort the neglected wife to the fes-
tival.
Motion was carried to adjourn.

BY reason of the extreme care ex-
ercised by us in the handling of gasoline,
Hawkeye brands have come to be known
among motor owners as standards of
gasoline efficiency and records prove that
Hawkeye gas will produce more miles per
gallon than any other brands on the mar
ket and are so far superior to Cracked"
gases that there is no comparison.
Our prices are in line with general mar
ket conditions but when you consider the
high mileage in the Hawkeye brands you
will readily see that the best is actually
the cheapest in the long run.
A seasons run will prove Hawkeye gas
cheapest per mile, say nothing of the saw

Worlds Supply of Nonexp|osive
Balloon Gas Would Not
Have Filled Gas BAD.
PROFESSOR CADY GIVES FACTS
Tells Of Governments Experiments
With HeIium and Cost of Produc-
ing 1t in Experimental Staoes-
Found in Three States.

Lawrence, Kan.-An the helium or
nOnexplosive balloon gas now avail
able in the world would have been en-
tirely inadequate to lift the ZR-2, the
dirigible that was to have been the
nucleus of Americas air navy, accord
ing to statement by Prof. III. p. Cady
of the University of Kansas depart
ment of chemistry. Doctor Cady dis
covered that helium was q constituent
of the natural gas Of Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas, and performed no
table experiments in the early days OF
the World war in developing processes
for commercial production Of helium.
Before the war, he said, probably
not more than hundred cubic feet
of this gas had been obtained in
fairly pure state. and that was secured
at a cost of 81 700 to $1,000 a cubic
foot for experimental purposes. Total
production after extensive expert
ments by the United States govern
ment probably does not exceed 100000
cubic feet up to the present, but while
the cost of production has been re-
duced greatly, still this cost, compared
to the cost of hydrogen, commonly
used for Initiating balloons, ts tremen-
dously high.
Forced to Use Hydrogen.
cit is not strange. then" said Doc
tor Cady, that England used the COM
paratively inexpensive hydrogen for
the ZR-2. During the experimental
stages the gas bag had to be emptied
at times to allow changes In the struc-
ture. Practically the only place to get
the helium is from the natural gas of
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and
thus far processes Of reduction have
not been perfected. Only per cent
or less of the natural gas Is helium,
and this helium has to be refined to a
purity of 80 per cent or better before
IL has the noninflammable quality de-
manded for safety in balloon construc-
ton.
81 am inclined to think he1fum never
will come into general use for COM
mercial airships, If such vehicles be-
come common. The limited quantity
of the material, it's high cost and Its
value in war balloons probably will
make it imperative for the government
to reserve all helium for its own use"
Doctor Cady explained that even the
best balloon covers did not prevent
entirely the escope Of lifting gases, and
IT is necessary constantly to supply
fresh gas. This is more true Of by
drogen than of helium, but the vast
age is there, and the continued opera
ton of even a small fleet Of war bal
looms would demand constant supply
IF fresh helium. Experiments at the
University Of Kansas showed that the

fly. Heretofore, 1t has been assumed
that the domestic fly accompanies
man wherever life is possible, but Doc
tor Aldrich'S observation has thrown
a, new light On the subject. The alb
sence of horses and their manure
in large quantities may be a minor
reason for the absence of the house
fly, but climate seems to be the prin-
cipal one. Even in the southern end
of Alaska's panhandle at Ketchikan
there are salmon factories, houses
and stores, all unscreened, and with
absolutely no traces of the common
fly. A few Of the rarer flies that are
found in the United States also live
In Alaska. but in Insignificant num-
bers.
Insects from the interior Of Alaska
were collected by Doctor AIdrich for
the first time. The valley Of the Tan
ana river, a tributary Of the Yukon,
is very much like the northern part
Of Minnesota, and the region around
Lake Superior so far as insects are
concerned, he has found. Doctor AL
drfch's trip extended from Seward
to Fairbanks, along the route of the
partfally-completed government rail-
way.

National Geological Park Ac-
quires Monster Python.
Monster That Once Roamed in the Ma
lay Forests Measures Is Feet From
Tip Of Its Head to Its
Tail.

Washington.-The worlds largest
captive snake is now an fnhabitant or
the National geological park in Wash
ingtOn.
It is a large regal or reticulated py-
thon that once roamed in the Malay
forest. From the tip Of it's head to
it's tail is about % feet long. This
species of python grows to be larger
in size than any snake In existence,
and while a specimen that measured
a little less than 80 feet long was
once killed, it is believed that the
snake now in Washington is the
largest on exhibition.
A special cage Of extra thick glass
was built to house the new python,
which came from New York In a
heavy wooden box perforated with
small holes to. allow circulation of air.
The large python did not dine on its
journey, as it only goes to dinner
once in three or four weeks. But these
infrequent meals usually consist of a
large pig or even small deer or an
telope. which is crushed to death in
the coils Of the snake and then swal-
lowed whole and. digested while the
