"Helium escaped general notice
until the destruction of World war
airships by fiery bullets started the
search for non-inflammable gas to
substitute for hydrogen, which ex-
plodes easily, even in contact with
air.
U. S. Biggest Producer.
'"The United States alone has
helium-bearing natural gas in
amounts sufficient for commercial
production. Ohio, Colorado, north
ern Oklahoma. and especially Kan
sas and Texas have gas wells pro-
ducing as high as Z or s per cent
helium. The sands of the Cliffside
structure in Texas, now being
worked by the government plant,
have only 2 per cent helium, but
have been chosen because they are
easy to work, have a steady vol
ume. and market for residue gas.
1t has been estimated that from
natural gas, million cubic feet
of helium escape daily. Classed as
a rare gas, helium is rare in
quantity but not in occurrence, for
it can be found nearly everywhere,
in exceedingly small amounts, in
the older rocks of the earth'S crust,
in gas from mineral springs, in sea
and river water. and especially in
natural gas.
Its power to conduct electricity
gives helium potential uses which
so far have not been exploited. It's
main commercial use now is in
aeronautics, with possibilities of
development in food preservation.

ing electric motors. 1t might also
be employed in air conditioning for
people who must work under great
pressure. as in deep-sea diving,
caisson work, and tunneling. Sci
entists find helium helpful as a
standard wave length in studies
with the spectroscOpe and as a me-
dium for low temperature studies.
In an atmosphere of helium, hot
metals can be worked without the
corrosion they suffer under normal
conditions"

show that poorly adjusted motors
discharge large quantities of un-
burned and partially burned gases.
These mechanical defects allow
the gas to seep into the automobile
compartment, where the driver is
quickly affected. The high percent
age of such danger is shown by a
Connecticut survey made last year,
when several thousand cars were
stopped on the road and tested.
Measurable quantities of carbon
monoxide were found in half of
them.

Freeburg cut off the ignition. But
not fast enough. A propeller on
the left outboard motor had let go.
With ripping sound the motor
was wrenched from its moorings
and was flung downward. Nal cut
off the other two motors and re-
tained speed by nosing gently
earthwards. Rapidly taking stock

Freeburg sent Joe Kimm back into

He noticed that he still had 1900

away from the town as possible
and then switched on the two
motors. Outside the town, above
the Mississippi, which isn't very
broad up there, he throttled the
motors, pulled the nose of the ship

at the same time, fish-tailed gently.

Mistranslation In Bible
Created the God MoIoch

Berlin.-In all probability the
Phoenician god, Moloch, to whom
children were allegedly sacrificed,
never existed. 1t owes its existence
to a mistranslation in the Bible.
This is the belief of Prof Otto Eiss-
feldts of Halle university. Eiss-
feldt claims that except for a few
passages in the Bible there is no
trace of the god anywhere else and
that those passages were due to
mistranslatiOn. He believes the fa-
nous passage in the Bible, Thou
shalt not sacrifice thy children as
'm0lk'," which means mot as vic
Tins"
The professor bases his theory
mainly on the discovery by two
French archeolOgists in Algeria of
two stones giving new light on the

TWINS
HAS IT'S PUZZLE
If One Is Sent to COngress(?)
There's a Washington
Puzzle
ODD SITUATION Sc E n

Washington.-Some day one sec
ton of a pair of Siamese twins is
going to be elected to an official po-
sition in Washington and the society
of the nations capital thrown into
discord, turmoil and high fever.
One reading of a book called so
cial Washington" which is one of
the several tones which purpOrt to
tell the dos and "dOn'ts" of Wash
ingtOn society, would convince you
that Siamese twins would furnish
an almost insurmountable problem.
All social ranking in Washington
depends upon the job you have. You
go to dinner according to that job.
You sit down to dinner according to
that job; you get up from dinner
according to that job, and you make
your friends according to that job.
Heaven Help 'Em.
Heaven helps those whose jobs
carry little social weight. They
may be twice as gracious as the
senator who does his own laundry,
but they'll go in to dinner like the
bleacher ticket holders at Yankee
stadium.
Even the guest of honor at a
dinner, the book says, must be sep
arated from the hostess by those
who outrank him. If the guest of
honor happens to be a friend from
Sioux City with no rank, he'll find
himself far down the table.
The order of precedence rec0g-
nized in Washington starts with the
President and winds up somewhere
in the neighbOrhoOd of Mount Yer
non with the secretary of the Smith
sonian institution and second and
third foreign secretaries.
In Place Thirteen.
When the Siamese twin comes
here as a congresswoman she'll be
entitled to thirteenth place, right
between the chief of operations of
the navy tan admiral or vice adj
miraD and eX-Vice-President
But how will the hostess solve
the problem of the other twin who
holds no rank?
They can't expect anybody to be
nice about the other twin crowding
in where she doesn't belong, for one
of the most Oft-repeated warnings
in Social Washington" is that Off
cialS never cede their places.
Any Vice President who happens
to be at the same dinner with the
twins will have to sit in the nom
ranking twins lap to hold his place
in rank and dignity.
The thing would be even more
complicated if the congresswoman
twin happened to be the left twin.
Then she'd be sitting on the left of
her unofficial sister. This would un-
doubtedly lead to family fight.
Even worse, however, would be
for the nonranking twin TO marry
a senator. which would give her the
tenth place in the batting order.
In such a situation the hostess
would have to manage somehow to
seat the chief of staff of the army and
the chief of operations of the navy
between the two twins. This would

'HELIUM GAS AN
AID TO SCIENCE
Has Many Potential Uses
Aside of That Which Could
Be Used in War
MANY NOT EXPLOITED

Neutrality-suspicious. the strato-
sphere balloon Explorer Ill more
than thirteen miles above the earth,
helium vividly demonstrated that it
can perform useful jobs for sci
ence as well as for war.
Soaring steadily up. in spite of
the tug of gravity, this aristocratic
gas was showing its preference for
the upper heights, where it is much
more at home than at sea level.
At the earth's surface the at
mosphere contains only about one
half of one thOuSandth of one per
cent of helium (.00000J4), but 800
miles away from the earth it is be-
lieved to consist largely Of hydro
gen and helium, which may finally
escape into practically empty space
between the stars.
"Colorless, tasteless, odOrless hell
um has temperament all its own, !"
says the National Geographic So
ciety. 1T has no savage tendency
to be destructive, for it is non-in-
flammable and non-poisonous. Be
ing a monatomic gas, its hermit ma
ture keeps each individual par
ticle, or atom, aloof from its fell
lows. Helium is so naughty, in fact,
that it refuses to mix with other
elements unless shocked or jolted
into a combination by an electric
discharge.
Ordinarily lazy and inert, hell
um's only exercise is to drift heav-
onward when released. being the
lightest known gas except hydro
gen, and to indulge in the lazy sport
of conducting electricity, in which
it can be beaten only by neon. But
it makes less effort to struggle
through rubberized fabric than
does hydrogen, thereby winning a
commercial advantage, for less of
it is lost from balloon. Helium
is stubbornly opposed to change.
remaining the same at low temper
atures which make rubber as brit
tie as glass.
Largest HeIium Plant.
This latter quality aids man in
separating helium from natural gas.
At Soncy, about seven miles west
of Ararillo. Texas, the worlds larg-
est helium production plant proc
esses natural gas, p.ped l. miles
from wells in the Cliffside struc-
| ture.
This plant, operated by the Unit
ed States bureau of mines, with
leased rights to gas from $4,000
acres of land, can produce over
twenty-four million cubic feet of
helium a year. One year the cost
of production was estimated at
less than a cent-seven mills-pef
cubic foot of helium, and during
one busy month the cost dropped to
four mills. In 1915, when the world
output was 100 cubic feet, the price
was nearer 50 400 per cubic foot.
