TURKS FEAR ITALIAN
 DESIGNS ON SMYRNA
Italians Leaving City; Only 23 Greeks Left; Americans Doing
 the Only Building.

Smyrna, Turkey, Aug. 25.-Amer- jeans are doing the only building in Smyrna. While the waterfront and the burned areas leading to the back streets remain in ruins, tragic reminders of the disaster of 1922, the Americans are going ahead with the building of an agricultural school at the International College for which Mrs. John s. Kennedy, of New York. recently gave s10,o0O. The Turks interpret this as evil dence of Yankee confidence in the future of their country.
 Smyrna's export business is inn proving. In the last 12 months 1t exported 1000 tons of raisins and 16,00O tons of figs, and the tobacco crop is better this year than 1t was in 1928. American buyers are talk ing most of the tobacco crop.
 Turkish rug factories are turning out almost the same number of rugs as in prewar days, and have substi- tuted Moslems for Christian weaVers.
 Mouamer Bey, father-in-law Of M uSldpHd Neiiidi' iiao Just pN@h iS elected Mayor of Smyrna. He is a wealthy land owner and is populat with the people. Italians, of whom there were nearly 100000 in Smyr. na a year ago, are leaving in large numbers owing to a growing feeling on the part of the Turks that the Italians have designs on their coun- try. The Italians are going to Syria and to South America. Of Greeks there are only 23 left in the city, and these are awaiting transporta- ton to Greece.

Dublin. Aug. aj. - Ten thousand persons from all parts Of Ireland participated in the recent celebra- ton Of the fifticth anniversary of the founding of the Pioneer Total Abb stinence association. A dozen bands and 800 clergymen marched in the procession. which took 45 minutes to pass q given point.
 A monster mass meeting was presided over by the Rev. J. Flynn, s. J., and addressed by the Rev. F. J. Cannon. S. J., who deplored the general return of drunkenness in Ireland within the last six years and urged the support of a bill intro duced in the Dali to check abuses of liquor. He said the bill is encounter ing the opposition of the vast vest ed interests which depend for their profits on our most notorious na- tional weakness" He urged the 250,000 members of the organiza- ton, most of whom are voters, to support the effort to bring the mem- Dersnlp up to l,WDO,onn voters ana said 40 new centers of the total ah- stinence organization have been added since Christmas.
 The Most Reverend pr. Gaugh- ran, Bishop of Meath. also addressed the meeting. He rejoiced in the fact that Ireland's political clouds are fast disappearing. "Irishmen are today rulers in their own coun- try" he declared, but of what per- manent advantage is that if the demon of drink continues it's rav- ages?"
 A resolution was passed demand- ing the enactment of temperance reform measures by the Dali and the meeting concluded with the Papal blessings.

 A republication plant has recent ly been installed al Lakehursi, N. J., home Of the navy air giant shenan- doah. Air seeps in through the huge envelope Of the Shenandoah, and when the helium purity is low cred to S5 per cent, through ad- mixture of the air, the mixture Is taken out and put into a refrigera- ton plant and again separated. Heli- nm 9S per cent pure Is recovered with only about one per cent loss.
 This new republication plant cost about si00.000. but 1t has already demonstrated a saving of siSO,ooo' each time the gas is taken out and repurified. The cost Of filling the Shenandoah with unused helium Is estimated at s200,0o0.

 Sources of supply of heiium are in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, three states in which 1t was origi- nally found. and more recently in Utah and Montana, according to pr. C. s. Lind, of the bureau of mines. The conditions which regulate its retention are not known. Unless helium i. found to exist In auan- titles of one-half of one per cent, mixed with other gases. commercial development is not considered worth while. Two per cent of helium in a well is ths maximum.
 Helium is perfectly inert chemi- cally," says Doctor Lind. Tt won't burn or explode. and it might even put out a gasoline fire. While hy- drogen can be manufactured any where in the world and is universal ly obtainable, the safety of helium makes it the more desirable"
 Helium was first discovered in the sun in 1869, Doctor Lind explains. From the Greek word helios. mean ing the sun, it gets its name. It was discovered on earth in 1895 and in the United States in natural gases in 1907. The bureau of mines start ed helium work in 1917 as a war proposition.
