HEuUM GAS WOULD
 PREVENT DISASTERS
Chemist Explains Virtues Of This
 Gas for Balloons

Washington, April 2i. --- Helum
 would have prevented the burning of
 the DIxmude, zR-2 and the Roma, Dr. Richard B. Moore Of New York city, formerly chief chemist of the United States bureau of mines, de- clared today in an address on 're-
 cent developments in the recovery Of Helium from natural gas" before the
 petroleum chemistry division of the American chemical society.
 "In addition to the disaster to the Dixmude," Dr. Moore continued, the ZR-2 burned over Hull, England, and the Roma burned at Langley Field, Va. In each case the disaster was
 preceded or accompanied by mechani-
 cal troubles. but these need not nec- essatily have been fatal to any of the
 crew had these airships been filled with helium.
 l "In other words, the last three big { disasters have all been accompanied
 by fire and have been primarily duo | to fire. In addition, number of small blimps have alse burned and it . is time for the facts to be thoroughly ! known and appreciated"
 [ Dr. Moore said that the export of 1 helium should be forbidden by fed
 eral legislation, as the United States ' possesses a practical monopoly of this
 gas. Helium, he asserted, has far- ' reaching possibilities in commercial
 aviation, but these would be endang-
 cred by the construction of hydrogen
 ships, which, he thought would prob- l ably burn up.
 The United States possess the only
 large supplies Of helium bearing gas 1 ir the world" Dr. Moore continued. "The gas belt containing helium ex- ! tends through Texas, up through Ok i isloma, southeastern Kansas, Ohio. Pennsylvania and New York. and ! comes back through West Virginia to ' Kentucky. and the richest gas is in ] Texas, Oklahoma and southeastern ! k.nFas.
 : with heiium, it would be impossi- ! ble to destroy an eirsbip with single ! incpI,6igry bullet; if would Dc neces- 2 gary to rip the bags 10 pieces by means oC a large bomb or shell before ! ihs a.r. hip could be brought tp the grotr [. Tn future wars, airsh:9s wilI
 be buHi sufficiently large to carry a 7 nrr.iaf of small lighting airDlanes a7d s!ess can be dropped or rtcoyered

 "I: is rot difficult :o appreciate nhat a fleet Of such airships could do
 to city like New York, London or
 Paris. Fifty 5.006.000 cubic foot
 ships. each one carrying six airplanes and % tons Of bombs would do im- niense damage to any city and would
 i,e well protected by the fighting
 planes that the ships would carry.
 This country has practically a mon
 opoly of helium gas and it is strong
 V advisable that exportation of this
 valuable asset should not be allowed. The cost Of helium is being cut so rapidly that within a year or two fl

PLANT TREES

Whoever is responsible for the plan |, encourage fin a most practical way the beautifying Of the city by planting more trees, is Co be congratulated. The item, of news published in the Herald of yesterday. stating that the city IS prepared 10 furnish trees at cost and to do the planting Of them in front or private places, deserves further ern- phasis. In all probability the trees can b. procured from the city as cheaply a. they can be bought elsewhere. but t is hoped that the city would plant trees provided by property owners even if they were not purchased from the city.
 More and more the people of New Britain are spprecisiing the practical vatne Of beauty, education and art. The prompt acceptance of the zonins idea is an example Of this mental at- ,ituds. In addition to stabilizing VruVefW NNlutss anu diip"'"1 '''

A ROD AND REEL STORY

My old friend, Dr. Waiter E. Trap rock and l were speaking about fish ing.
 Naturally the largest fish are the ones which get aw :" he said. Two '. l knew that there were fish in the locks of the Erie Canal, probably ock locked salmon who had chosefl the canal route to avoid the leap over Niagara Falls.
 One evening I repaired to the nearest lock with a tarpon outfit. Reasoning from the probable food supply baited my hook with a bana- na. I got action instantly. On the first cast the line spun out and I knew ttat I was hitched to levia- than. A terrific struggle followed in the midst of which came the blast of whistle. The night boat for Albany was entering the lock!
 "The desperate fish dashed against the boat, careening her sharply. But the impact stunned him. I reeled in and began cautiously to haul him up the bank. But I reckoncd without his displacement, As pulled him out the normal level Of the canal began to go down. Cries of alarm rang from inc boat which lay over on her side, until. with a sigh, l threw the great fish back into the canal
 with both ship and fish in the lock it was filled to overflowing and n cataract of water poured over the gates. The salmon, revived. seized his opportunity and, an instant later rushed over the falls carrying with him my rod. line. and cherished reel studded with twelve jewels which had been presented to me by the Duke of Argyl.
 "I lost my fish but I had saved thousand lives. The passengers later presented me with. this fob which, as you sec, bears upon one side canal boat, on inc other fish-hcad. But you can imagine why l, perhaps more than most men, realize that if is always the biggest fish which get away"

JOHNSON REPORTS
IMMIGRATION BILL
Says Measure Will Prevent
Millions of Aliens Flood
ing Country.

Present plans call for the House to
consider the Johnson immigration bill
as soon as it disposes of tax legisla-
tion. Chairman johnson of the immi-
grafton committee yesterday filed a
report on the measure, signed by
fourteen committee members. Dis
senting views will be presented by
three other members.
Pointing out that the present per
cent law, based on the 1910 census,
expires June 80 next, the report de-
clared there was Immediate and
urgent need for enactment of immi-
grafton legislation"
'"The committee is advised the re-
port continued, that an immigration
|of between 100000 and 100000
would have entered the United States
during each of the past two years if
the 3 per cent law had not barred the
way.

IF the 3 per cent law is permitted
to expire, and If no other legislation
is enacted, the movement to our
shores of the largest migration of
peoples in the history of the world
may be expected to begin July ]. 1924.
The exclusion clauses of the act of
February 5, 1917, will be poweriess to

Provisions of the Johnson bill were
summed up in the report as follows:

CATHEDRAL TALK
TO Be AMPL|F|ED
Sermon in Chapel Today May
Be Heard by Thousands Out
to See Wilson Tomb.

In preparation for the throng that is
expected to attend the first devotional
service to be held in the Bethlehem
chapel Of the Holy Nativity since 1t be-
came the sepulcher of Woodrow VIII
son. amplifiers will be placed in opera
ton in the amphitheater, where those
who cannot be accommodated in the
chapel may hear the service.
Announcement was made that no tick
cts for admission to the chapel will be
issued. People will be admitted as
they arrive. When the chapel has ac-
commodated its capacity the overflow
will be seated in the big amphitheater.
where $4,000 persons can be handled
with ease.
See Tributes Afterward.
Every word Of the service. at which
Bishop Freeman will preside, will be
carried to the crowd outside by
means Of amplifiers. Before and al
ter the service visitors will be per-
mitted to pass through the chapel as
usual, where some of the sources of
floral tributes sent to Mr.. Wilson
from all over the world still survive.
In order that visitors to the ma
tional Cathedral, of which the Beth
lehem Chapel is part. may not be
disappointed in their desire to pay
their respects before Mr.. Wilson's
tomb, however and at the same time
permit the regular services on SUM-
days and weekdays to take place with
out interruption, it is important that
visits be timed to fit the chapel sche-
dulles. The following suggestion was

handicap that has arisen perennially,
until 1923, to restrict the business
enterprise of the country.
The movement of the new record
volume Of freight loadings will be
made possible, if achieved, by the
closer cooperation of the shippers
of the country. Last year the rail-
roads extended their right hand to
the country's shippers and asked for
teamwork. The shippers responded.
and for months shippers and car
riers sat down at council tables
throughout the country to plan ways
and means for delivering the goods
without hitch.
Conferences Extended.
This year these conferences have
been extended to new regions and
have been enlarged to provide for al
most every conceivable klnQ or DuSl-
ness interests utilizing the railroads.
In addition. the merit of early
shipping has been clearly demon
strated, and the usual peak period of
October probably will be fiattened out
to an even greater extent than 1t
was last year. The heavy traffic will
no longer be confined to two or three
months in the fall, if the consoli-
dated carrier-shipper plans prevail,
but will start, probably in May, and
be distributed throughout seven
months instead of being compressed
into three.
There are varying factors that con-
tribute to car shortage, and these
cannot be foretold with certainty at
this time. But unless unforeseen COM
plications arise, the railroads antici-
pate no car shortage in 1924. They
do. however, anticipate the greatest
business the United States has ever
seen.
