HEL|UM COST HELD

Bureau of Mines Expert Dis.
putes Claim Safe Gas
Is Costly.
4y the Associated Press.

Sy the Associated Press.
Harold S. Kennedy, Bureau of Mines
expert, said today that n-inflamable
helium Is as cheap and nearly as effi-
cient as hydrogen for dirigible use
The German dirigible Hindenburg,
destroyed last week at Lakehurst,
N. j.. was filled with hydrogen, some
Germans here said, to save money
and give greater lifting power
Kennedy contended, however, hell
um has 926 per cent the lifting
strength Of hydrogen.
As to cost, he said:
"Helium cost more than hydrogen
to begin with, but it may be purified
and used again, whereas hydrogen is
too dangerous to permit re-handling
after contamination"
Secretary Ickes said yesterday he
would offer no objection to exports of
helium to foreign countries provided
there are adequate safeguards"
against its use for war purposes Leg
1slation is pending to make exporta-
ton easier
There have been almost no requests
AIoHl dUIodu 1oT lHe gas, Kennedy SAID.
The Bureau of Mines has a virtual
monopoly on helium at its plants near
Amarillo, Tex. Up to last June, the
Bureau had produced 100000 cubic
feet at net operating cost Of 1884
per thousand-or less than cent a
cubic foot.
Supervised by c. w. Seibel, whom
associates credited with doing as
much as anybody in developing in
terest in helium as a safe gas for
aeronautical purposes, the plant regu-
Larry produces helium of SO per cent
purity. In experimental work it has
turned out quantities 1896 per cent
pure.

Birthday Tomorrow, put it IN
front of the stall, and then told
Jeanette, whom he calls "The
Princess" that there was some
one down in the stable who
wanted to see her.

with a new volume of Victor

"I retain all my circuit court

Asked if his statement that he
was "still a justice" meant that
with Justice Hugo Black on the
bench there are now 10 in the
Supreme court, he answered:
That's all covered in what I told
you-there are only nine who can

Gene dashed the horses off,

"Agitator," and a couple Of Bed

easy flow of conversation.
He was telling in an amusing
