CANADIAN LIQUEFIES HELIUM
Process Once Costing $1,50O a Foot
 Now Costs 10 Cents.

Toronto, Jan. 12.-I.iquefaction of helium gas has been accomplished in the laboratory of Toronto University by Professor John Cunningham Me Lennon. The feat, it is declared, has never been performed before outside of Holland. This achievement IS an other step toward the solution Of many problems connected with refrig- eration.
 Experiments were begun two years ago. after Professor McLennon dis covered that helium could be obtained in large quantities from the natural gases in Canada.
 Helinm was liquefed in small quan- titles for the first time in 1908 by Professor Kammerlingh Onnes Of Hol- land. but at that time little helfum was available, and it was exceedingly oxpensive, costing at the rate Of about s1,5O0 per cubic foot. The cana dian experiments show it can be pro duced at less than 10 cents per cubic foot.
 Helium is non-inilammable and ron-explosive, and possesses 92 per cent ot the lifting power Of hydrosen' making it a most suitable filling Tor ajrship envelopes.

BOARD CUTSLARG
 LUMP FROM BUDGET
.S6,457,7i4 Reduction Noted in
 New York State

Albany, Jan. 12.-About s6,45T7i4 was cut from the requested approprla- tlons of state departments. institu- tions and bureaus by the Miller board of estimate and control, and numerous reductions were made in salaries Of state employees, 1t was revealed when the tentative budget for the next fiscal year was filed as legislative docu- ment.
 Had Governor Miller been re- elected, every recommendation made by the board undoubtedly would have been put into effect, but with the change of administration and Cover nor Smith in the drivers seat, 1t is not expected many of the boards recommendations, especially regard ing suts in salaries, will receive much consideration.
 The board recommended the aboli- tion of second deputy, certificate and election clerk in the secretary of states office. The post of second deputy was held under the adminis- tration of former Secretary Lyons by Charles w. Taft of Oneida. Soon af- fer pr. James A. Hamilton. the new secretary Of state, assumed office ne aupointed Herman Doctor Of the Bronx as second deputy. The office of election clerk has been held for twenty years by Henry G. Adams, republican.
 Many of the men who would have lost their jobs under the plan of the hoard of estimates and control are re- nublicans, Some, however, Will lose their positions through the change Tn administration
 Tt is not so bad to lose your job through change in administration, but one does not like to be leglslateo out of office by your own party, par ticularly if you have served that par tv and the state to the best of your ability" declared one republican who would have lost his position had for mer Governor Miller been re-elected.
 The board also recommended the elimination of the excise bureau from the office of the attorney general. Four posts would havc been affected bv this change---a deputy attorney general. an accountant and special eX- aminer. a stenographer and a docket clerk.
 The board requested reduction Of s1.50O in the salary of William " Irving of Albany, present miscellan- eous reporter. This would have made the salary of this office s4,500. An other salary reduction recommended was s1,oo0 for the secretary of state civil service commission. This post was held by John c. Birdseye, who recently. resigned. Recommendation also was made that one deputy state controller be dropped.
 The total of appropriations recom- mended by the board for the various state agencies was s110.964,295. De- partment heads had asked for appro- nriations of s117,432,000.

National Committee for Better Films Takes Sweeping Action

New York. Jan. ls.-All Arbuekle films as yet unreieased or made ia the future were hlaekiisted by the exeeur tive committee Of the National Com mittes for Better Films, aftillsied with the National Board Of Review. at a meeting yesterday in the Hotel Astor, This policy was adopted on ground that incidents iH the actors life had attached an ''unsavery odor" to his personality in the public mind which had become a moral influence that could not he overlooked,
 The National Committee for Better Films is devoted to boosting high class motion pictures by publishing al reg nlar intervals a selected list of me hest films for reference use by schools churches. and educational or research societies. 1t has more than 600 repre- sentatives in cities throughout the country and it's executive committee has haadauarters at TO Fifth avenue. New York. Ky its action no fiim show ing Roscoe Fatty Arbuekle will ever again be included on the organiza- tion's selected list.
 Clarence 4. Perry. chairman Of the National Committee for Better Films and also associate director of the de. parfment Of recreation of the Russell Sage Foundation was in charge of the meeting. He said the statement had been prepared by a special committee appointed to define the position Of the National Committee with reference to Arbuckle films. The policy as present. cd was immediately ratified by the executive committee. It read;
 "The character of the private life of the motion picture actor Is not usually taken into consideration py our reviewing committee. since na- turally in most cases they can nave little authentic information about it. When. however. offensive incidents In the life of a screen star have been so widely published that an unsavory odor has been attached in the public mind to the actors very personality then such incidents become an ele- ment in the moral influence of film and can be no longer overlooked.
 "The wave of public sentiment has greeted the suggestion that kos- COG Arbuckie be allowed to resume his occupation as motion picture actor is evidence that this is a case in point. The national committee for better films therefore will not recom- mend or place on its selected lists Is. sued to committees, exhibitors and others for entertainment purposes any films with which MT. Arbuckle IS publicly identified.
 Although it has in the past listed many of this actors films as being amusing and free from objectionable features any films which have been SC listed but which have not as yet been publicly exhibited will be removed from our lists. The lists containing the older Arbuckle pictures already exhibited of course cannot be re- called"
