 Tokio, May 9.-Helium from VOL canic gases will be the result sought in experiments projected by the Jap anese navy, which will shortly send a party of naval engineers to several of the volcanoes, in which Japan abounds, to try to collect gases for initiating lighter-than-air flying craft.
 The disaster to the navy's dirigbile No. 8, the s. S. type airship which burst into flames and fell north of Tokio last March, Is the incentive to the projected experiments. Naval authorities, alive to the danger of hy- drogen as initiating gas. are determin- edto find economical means of replac-

HURT NUMBERING IN BRAZIL
Poor Business Methods Hamper In
dustry, v. S. Observer Reports.

The lumber industry of the Amazon
at present is coping with many diff
cuItleS. of which the following are
iIost in evidence, according to a report
recently made for the Brazilian depart
ment of agriculture, industry and com
iuerce lnSufticiency of capital, lack Of
knowledge and correct business meth
DDS, and excessive export taxes, saws
Assistant Trade Commissioner NJ. 4.
Cremer. Every one is suffering from
the lack of capital. The lumber mer-
chants have been particularly affect
ed by the situation and il number of
them have failed. Money rates are
shgh, some banks obtaining as high as
per cent a month. This retards the
establishment OF mills, acquisition of
boats and land and expectation in gen
eral.
The lack of knowledge of correct
business methods is evidenced by the
fact that lumber merchants look only
for an immediate profit, failing to take
the future into consideration. 1t will
be necessary to place properly graded
lumber on the market, and not con
tlnue marketing in the primitive man
ner pursued ut present, says Mr. Gre
mer
For the last five years the export
taxes on lumber have been increasing
so that it is getting to be the most
taxed product of the State of Para.
This fact makes the business of eX.
porting very Improbable and inse-
cure for investment. At present the
port tax on lumber at Para is very
high, due to the fact that it IS a bulky
article and its value is small in pro
portion to its weight. At the time
the classification of taxes on exports
was made, very little lumber was eX-
ported and therefGTe it was included
in the general classification.
Necessary minor improvements wor-
Thy of consideration are according to
the report; Sanitary regulations and
better living conditions should be en-
forced in the numbering districts; the
weight of the various kinds of woods
should be officially established, and
complete study should be made of
their strength; samples Of the most
important woods should be placed in
all Brazilian ConSulateS so that these
woods may become known abroad and
MEASUREMENTS prevented regarding
their origin when re-eXpOrted: freight
rates should be reduced, and small
state custom houses to collect export
taxes should be placed in two or three
places in the state

England is far behind other nations,

ating the non-animal food that comes
out of the sea so the projectors of "A

deal of prejudice to overcome. AT least
seven British seaweeds make good
eating-laver, sapphire, dulse, dillisk,

few ordinary households ever sample
any of these delicacies. Samphire used
formerly to be cried in the streets OF

Registered Aliens
 Means Slave Labor

Cincinnati, Feb. 2.-The proposal to register immigrants would place aliens at the mercy of unscurupulous employers, declares John F. Frey, ed itor of the International Holders Journal
 If the immigrant is in an industrial community dominated by anti-union employers he would discover that trade union sympathy on his part world he followed by the application of the law against undesirables, said the labor editor.
 "This alien woudl be made to un- derstard that ability to earn a liveli- hood depended upon his agreement with the views of these emplovers. and especially with their antagonism to trade unionism
 "Decisions of the courts as to what constitutes an undesirable are SO vague and general in character" con tinues Editor Frey, that it would not be difficult for many courts to find that trade union activity constitutes DOS tive evidence of undesirahleness.
 "The inclusion of registration pro- vision in the immigration law woudl be unfair 10 the imm'grant. It would place a heavy handicap upon him from the beginning, and it would en- able employers to hold a club over his head which would operate as con- stant reminder that in reality th'S country is not the home of the free."

Individuals of small importance may be punished after being discredited in the public eye, but the higher ups will not be reached. The usual policy is to secure few victims of little stand- ing, or of temporary popularity, who will be used to appease popular wrath.
 The higher ups'' are the inner cir cle, the respectable citizens who grease the political machine, suggest candi- dates, judges, or department heads, who shape policies and who rig the stock market when the trap is ready.
 Various sums alleged to have passed between parties in the public eye Is but cigarette money as compared with the lOO,OOO,OOO that Teapot Dome is claimed to be worth to it's private exploiters.
 It may be said that a public official can not apply the shop mems pro- cedure to the Teapot Dome case
