PRODUCTION OF HELIUM WILL
 ASSIST FLYING

WASHINGTON, May 15.-An in vestigation which may revolutionize the flying of lighter-than-ai craft in the, United States is under way.
 On the results of an inquiry being conducted by Representative Lan- ham, of Texas, into the possibility of producing the non-inflammable gas, helium, cheaply and in quantity, de- pends an attempt to revise regula- tions governoring air lanes and the flight of dirigibles.
 If helium production can be in creased to the extent that it will be as readily available as hydrogen gas and at but little more cost, Congress will be asked to enact legislation, preventing the Government Air Ser vice from further experimenting with dirigibes unless helium is used.
 If this legislation Is deemed ad- visable after the investigation it will undoubtedly be extended to include regulation over expected future con- mercial use of dirigibles, Represen- tative Lanham declared.
 Steps to make flight of the big cigar-shaped aircraft safer followed immediately in the wake of the dis aster which overlook the giant dirigi- ble Roma, owned by the Govern- ment.
 Belief was freely expressed in Congressional circles that the toll of life taken in the Roma fall would have been lessened if the craft had been filled with helium instead of hydrogen, which burst into flame and caused most of the deaths.
 Lanham points out that the Gov ernment has a monopoly on the pro- duction of helium at the Govern ment-owned plant at Fort Worth, Texas This plant, however, is now idle The House recently voted down an appropriation of $150,000 to per init operation of it for the remain der of the present fiscal year.

METHODS OF AMERICAN
 GIRLS PUZZLE FRENCH

PARIS, May Histories of ,Ameri- can girls checking their corsets in the wardrobes of dance halls are the subject of much conjecture on the part of French women. They ask why the girls bother to wear their corsets to the dance. But the latest adaptation of the dance hall check room in Paris is to use it for check ing babies. Recently an inspection of the wardrobe of an Etoile dance hall revealed a half dozen babies slumbering peacefully in the pigeon- holes usually reserved for hats.
 The maternal neglect aroused the ire of the editorial writer of the Paris Journal This is something had read about before" he declares, "Only such things ordinarily occur in Chicago or Milwaukee. This time it is Parisienne. We have a check room for infants. Decidedly we are becoming very American"

COASTAL WAR CRAFT ADDED
 TO OUR NAVY

| WASHINGTON, May 15. The American Navy had just acquired two little war crafts which for con- contrated damaging ability are known as the "Davids" in a world of battlehip "Goliaths" Their official designation, however, is coastal mo- tor boats.
 Developed by the British as "mys- 1 tery boats" in the late war they proved themselves such venomous | little sea fighters that the American Navy has decided to try them out. In appearance they are simply she'll l like speed-boats such as thrill de- voices of motor-boat races every Summer. They are built in forty and l fifty- y-five-feet lengths, the Navy hav- ing acquired one of each type They travel at speeds from thirty to more than forty sea miles an hour These little boats differ from the ordinary racer, however, in that for general destructiveness under diffi- cult conditions they are hard to equal Their ordinary method of | fighting is to dash at their prey in a cloud of spray and when within range unleash a torpedo. This missile | is carried in a trough of the stern and is launched from this position, the boat depending on it's own speed i to carry it ahead of the torpedo until it can veer to one side. Usually they only carry one torpedo, but can carry several when only slow speed | is required. For submarines they can carry depth bombs, which are simply rolled over the side of the boat as it skins along the surface. In addition to this, they were also used to lay mines in enemy waters during the war, their shallow draft carrying them safely over the en- emy's mine fields.
 During the British naval attack on the Bolshevik strongholds in the Bal tic in 1919 the motor boats accounted for at least two BOlsheyik battles This took place during the British at tack on Cronstadt, when the British motor boats dashed into the Russian harbor under fire, tOrpedoes the en- enemy cruisers at anchor and whirled out to sea again. Outside they en- countered enemy destroyers, one of which shot up one of the motor boats. Another of the little boats, damaged while in the harbor, was blown up by her commander when he got outside.
 They did heroic service during the British attack on the German sub marine bases at Zebrugge, where they bombarded the enemy batteries with mortars. Their most deadly en- emies were aircraft, which being more speedy were able to cause them some trouble. The launches carried an assortment of machine guns for this foe and even beat off attacks from the air.
 The Navy will try them out as soon as the fuel allowance permits.
