reau, placed Colonel Robert /. Rees

ton with the title Of assistant direc-
tor.

ties will not handicap him in following
it successfully.

veterans were receiving vocational
training under the veterans bureau.
These men are receiving instruction in
practically all of our large universe
ties, colleges, and vocational schools.

mately $50 different trades, vocations,
professions, or in agriculture.

pleted their training and had obtained

ing has been reached and passed, un

These are connected to and controlled

First Commercial Use of Non

will be attained by the use of helium.
This, the first commercial use OF a
non-inflammable gas for dirigible IN.
flation, was announced by DR..
SchUette in a second exclusive inter
view with NEA Service.
The German builder Of the schuette-
LAM airship. who is here for confer,
ences with the $50, 1000, 900 American
Investigation Corporation supple
mented his statement to NEA Service
several days ago OF the closing Of the
deal.
America is the only country where
helium exists in great quantities, "
said DR.. Schuette. Millions Of cubic
feet Of gas come from petroleum
sources, notably in Oklahoma and
Kansas. The difficulty heretofore has
been In refining 1t and obtaining suffi-
cient quantities at a cost that is not
prohibtive.
we have solved the kelium prob
lem. We will erect refining plants.
Our dirigibles viii be completely in
flated with helium-without hydro
gen auxiliary bags. Fire cannot oc-
cur; helium extinguishes fire"
This achievement is calculated the
chief factor in making the New York
Chicago airship line commercial and
financial success. Before these air
ships are put into operation it is
probable that the Government dilie
ible. the Fri. now being built at
Lakehurst, n. j., will be launched
with helium: but DR.. Schuette's ships
will be the first commercial ones to
use it.

There are also hundreds who have
completed their training and have
opened up business establishments for

Who will say the new method has
