Gas Wells of Germany
Furnish Little Helium

There are natural gas wells in Ger
many whose output contains helium
writes Kurt We'll in Die UmSchau, a
German scientific periodical, but
there is no prospect of the Graf
Zeppelin or any of her future sister
airships being filled with German
helium, for the combined product of
all of the four German wells whose
gas contains this valuable element
would have to be accumulated for
400 years before there would be
enough to fill the Graf. AS compared
with this, Herr We'll cites the great
American well at Petrolia, Texas,
which yields 425,00O cubic meters of
gas, with a helium content of nine
tenths of l per cent. This would fill
Graf Zeppelin in a few days.

"Conscience Fund" Adds
to Nations Revenues

The governments conscience fund
dates back to the year 1911, when
during the administration of James
Madison the sum of So was received
by the Treasury department from a
person who did not sign his name.
He wrote that he owed the nation
that sum. 1t was credited to "COn-
science" Before the close of Madi-
sons administration this fund had
reached $3.50.
OF course. there is no fund known
officially as a conscience fund Such
contributions are listed in the report
of the treasurer of the United States
as contributions from known and
unknown" The money is entered on
the books as other public money and
is expended as though it came from
regular channels of revenue.
Reports of the United States treas
urer show that there has never been
year since MadiSon's administra-
tiOn, with the exception of Monroe's
administration and the year 1913.
when some conscience contribution
was not received. The largest came
in during the administrations of
Roosevelt and Wilson. The total
amount received during ROOsevelt's s
administration was $10O, ,16070 and
$106,0S4.66 during Wilson's admins
tratiOn. The smallest amount ever
received was cents, and the largest
was $4,000.
The conscience fund has grown to
more than $500,000, and is increasing
each year. Last year contributions of
this nature amounted to S20,99994.

| the place"
Garrett could see the enemy
grouped in consultation. Presently
the men scattered. They were
| spreading out TO surround the
house. A bullet struck the trunk in
front of him. Another plOwed into
the mattress. The Winchester in
| his hands barked an answer.
Apparently they had settled down
to a siege. O'Hara could count at
| least five foes in the fan-Shaped
open space in front of him. They
were all behind cover. but the
| flashes of their weapons told him
where they lay. Three or four were
back of the stable with the horses
and the prisoner. The others had
disappeared. II was an easy guess
that they were making n wide cir
cult to take him in the rear.
The besieged man slipped back
from the doorway, leaving the bar
rel of rifle showing beside the
mattress. He dragged another OF
! his partners trunks TO the back
door and piled il on top of the first
one. Lifting the table to the win
| dow. he put il on box and nailed
| the top of il to the frame in such
| q way as TO cover the glass en-
tirely.
He hurried TO his place in the
doorway, fired two shots, and with
drew again to give his friend water
in a dipper. How're you feelingT"
he asked
His friend grinned feebly.
Boiler damaged Can't get up
steam" From time to time he
cOughed up blood.
Garrett went back to his post.
There was nothing he could do for
his companion and he could not
leave the doorway for long at
time He heard the sound of shots
from the rear and the spat of the
lead against the logs. The enemy
had him completely surrounded
now.
He waited for the next billow
of smoke in front, and fired at il.
and put down the rifle. Unfasten-
ing the belt around his waist, he
looked for the stomach wound
There was nothing there but n
bruise where the metal buckle had
been driven against the flesh. Un-
doubtedly the clasp had detected
the bullet and saved his life.
Hour after hour the siege dragged
on. Smith-Beresford became deliri-
Gus. Garrett bathed his face and
chest. gave him water to drink.
and left wet cloth on his fore
head.
The young lawyer knew that his
own fever was mounting. The
wound in his shoulder panied
good deal 1t was his guess that
the bullet had smashed a bone.
Grimly he recognized the fact
that the attackers were paying him
compliment by their caution.
They might have rushed the cabin
and ended the affair in two minutes.
Evidently they counted the cost as
TOO great to pay. The men he had
wounded were sufficient object les
son to them.
What were they up to now? A
wagon was being pushed from the
back of the barn and headed to
ward the house. Four or five men
were behind it. They were using II
as a cover for their approach.
! Snipers from right and left kept
up a steady fire to prevent his con-
centrating on the wagon.
The wheels of the wagon slowed
to the right A man crept forward
to straighten then. Garrett drew a
bead on him and fred The man

She looked at the bed where the

Barbara made preparations to do
what she could for the man on the
bed. Once more Garrett lay down
back of his rampant and took stock
of the enemy. Ingram appeared to
he issuing orders TO his men. They
hitched horses to a wagon, put hay
in the bed of it, and lifted the two
most seriously wounded of the
posse into the wagon, after which
the team was driven away, followed
by most of the riders. One man

would happen if you stayed in this
country" he said to O'Hara.
Did you tell him what would
happen to three or four of your
killers when they tried to murder
him?" Barbara asked, her eyes
flashing Indignation.
Ingram looked at her with an ex-
presSionless face. Are you in
this, girl?"
Yes, I'm in it. They're my fa-
theirs friends. Your hired bad men
shot them for no cause" She stood
straight and slender, quivering with
indignation at the man whom she
held responsible, with sympathy
for the two victims of the outrage.
Tried TO obstruct a posse in per-
formance of its duty. If they got
hurt, don't blame me. They car

'They got excited when these

men here have been practicin' with
guns ever since they came into the
country. They we're spOilin' for
fight. Dangerous killers like they
are ought not TO be allowed loose
on a decent community"
Barbara read the faintest flicker
| of ironic mirth in Ingram's eyes.
"You don't believe word of what
you're sayin'," she flung hotly at
him. Pm not going to argue with
you What do you want here?
Why have you come? I've got to

/ I've sent to town for both doc

Even criminals are entitled to med
ical attention. I'll look after them
till he comes. Bring me fresh

Ingram rolled up the sleeves Of
his shirt and washed his hands be-
fore be approached Smith-Beresford.
/ With his pocketknife he cut the
shirt and undershirt from around
the wound, then bathed it, using
the cold water Barbara had brought
from the spring.
I'm afraid he's awfly sick"
Barbara murmured, her troubled
eyes on the deliriOus patient.
Ingram turned to Garrett. How
about you, young fellow? Get yore
coat off an let's see where we're
| at"
Barbara helped the lawyer re-
| move the coat.
The cattle man washed and ex-
amined the wound.
"Pain much?"
I'm noticing it,"
Thought so. Bullet hit the bone
likely. You're lucky it's no worse.
From what the boys tell me a lot
of good lead was wasted. If any

NEW TRADE METHODS
ARE BUSINESS HELP

New York.-Financia writer's as
sure the world that new methods are
aiding business men to weather de-
pressions.
The new scheme is low inventories
and control of production. This
means that business men no longer
carry large stock of goods, but buy
on the hand-to- mouth principle. The
controlr-or limitation-of production
is natural result of the low-inven-
tory policy.
With these two systems plants are
operated at minimum with fixed
number of workers who are not faced
by unemployment.
No mention is made of the large
number Of displaced workers because
of the depression.
