SAFETY FIRST

7 is unanimously agreed II the great alrsKlp
Roma has been filed with helium, tho non
inhammable gas, instead of hydrogen gas. the
terrible tragedy in which 50 many lost their lives
the other day would have been ayerted.
Because Of the difficulty of securing hellum in
sufficient quantities, and the resultant expensive
ness Of the product the air craft people have been
slow to adopt It, even while admitting that 1t
lessened danger enormously. Since the Roma
accident the administration at Washington has
taken a hand and the president and his cabinet,
after conference have decided to ask congress for
"a liberal appropriation for the production and
conservation Of hellum. Congress is slashing
appropriations pretty smarty right now but this Is
one place where the national pocketbook should
open literally, IL the perfecting OF aircraft Of the
Zeppelin type is to continue.
No invention Of mankind has claimed such a
monstrous toll Of human life in its experimental
stages as has aeronauties. Time and experiment
will, no doubt eventually give to the human race
air travel that will offer little more risk thaa
railroad travel, but the time seems considerable
distance off, and It is quite certain that hydrogen
gas is one fthe most dangerous bars to safety In
air traffic. Since this is true and since the proper
ties OF hellum make It the ideal gas for the type Of
aircraft that seems to lend Itself most satisfactorily
to the carrying of numbers of passengers, there
should be no stinglness on the part of Congress in
providing sufficient funds TO make helium
available.

10 CHILD IS REAILY nAp

In a recent issue OF The. De-
lineator there is a very interest
ing story on child-life-one that
should have the attention of every
parent.
Many a young boy or girl car
ries the reputation OF being a bad
boy or q bad girl. simply because
their parents, losing patience with
them without reason, call them
bad in public and the reputation
sticks.
Too many parents forget they
were young once and had the
same desires and hopes and dis
appointments OF their offspring.
1t IS only natural that a boy
should want to so swimming. Yet
many times the boys father, who
did the same trick consistently
when q lad, says II forbid you 20
go swimming" In many cases
the boy goes anyhow; II he does
not he is cheated out of delight
full recreation and youthful enjoy
ment. In either event the parent
is to blame.
The story tells OF lad who
was a model youth in the school
room. Suddenly he took a turn
to mean tricks and was veritably
Jonah to his teachers. Soon he
had the reputation Of being q bad
boy.
The principal OF the school had
a long talk with him. He found
out that several members OF the
family ware sick; another broth
er, through school, was unable to
work. The bad boy declared he
was strong and able to work but
did not know how to escape going
to school. Some grownups said II
he was bad in school, no would
be expelled and then he could
help support the family. He tried
the plan.
He did not want to be bad. but
he thought It a plain duty to his
family to be bad.
The days OF youth, the most
glorious in life are but a brief
morning before one goes out to
face the long day Of life that leads
on to the sunset trail.
It is unfair, unjust and cruel to
ruin this happy period. for any
boy or girl by surrounding him
with iron-clad conventionallties

All honor to that ex-sailor lad up on Bon View
Street who has had the stuff in him TO fight hard
ship and poverty with the first weapon that came
TO hand, and who conouers Instead of whines This
lad, with his electric washer and his fine American
pluck and sand Is refreshing contrast to the
bunch Of fellows in town who are putting in their
time at jazz dances or exercising over the steering
wheels Of their dads cars. If Fairmont had Cup
of Achievement, which some cities award for
especial merit exempliaed by some resident, the
prize might very fifty rest upon the mantel of this
humble home as tribute 10 courage that would
not own defeat.
