A quiet hunt for first editions Of a
series of boys books that caused many
youngsters to forget about arithmetic
lessons generation ago has been un-
dertaken by v. Valta Parma, curator
Of the rare book room of the Library
of Congress.
Many of the youngsters who showed
Harry Castlemon books rudely under
their desks when teachers stepped the
wrong way 80 years ago did not re-
alize the fiction they were pushing
about would be worth more than its
face value some day.
Parma already has developed for
the Library of Congress rare book COL
lection a section illustrative of the
reading taste of children through sew
eral centuries. His present endeavor
is to prepare a descriptive list Of
the first editions of the Harry Castle
mon titles.
The library has some of these in its
copyright files; some it does not. Two
fairly definite clues toward determin-
| ing whether the book is a first edition
are:
The first editions rarely contained
an advertisement on the back Of the
title page: the closer the date on
| the front Of the title page comes to
that of the copyright on the back
of the title page the more valuable
the book is.
The first and more valuable Castle
mon books were printed in Cincin-
natl by r. w. Carroll g. Co. The
Gunboat series was included in these

Frank in the Woods" Frank on the

these particularly sought. The Rocky
Mountain series came In 1871. One
title Parma wants particularly is

BOSTON, March 6.-The Associated
Industries Of Massachusetts, tonight
announced q survey showed that
manufacturers who had left the State
are returning and that many new in
dustries have been established here.
Analyzng the report, Frank v.
Bistrup, secretary Of the industrial de-
partment Of the organization cited as
major factors in promoting the return
Of industry to the State:
Eliminating Of the local tax on
manufacturing machinery; suspension
of the 6 O'Clock law; the States nat
ural and man-made resources and
increasing intelligence Of workers.
Disclosures Of Survey.
The associations survey showed. 1t
was announced, 421 new industries or
major plant expansions since January
/, 1886.
Boots and shoes lead the list Of new
and transferred industries. They
bring a return of prosperity to $500
people, the Associated Industries re-
ported.
Elimination of the manufacturing
machinery tax, BEtrup said, saved the
industries of the State more than
$4,000,000 during 1886 and $4,000, 900
for the current year
Suspension Of the o'clock law
definitely stopped the textile migrs-
ton from Massachusetts,, Bistrup
said He explained that under sus-
pension of the law, women under rea-
sonable regulation are permitted to
work in the textile industry until 10
pm.
This" he added. "allows the opera
ton of two shifts and gives Massachu-
sets q proper competitive standing
with other textile States"
Referring to the States resources,
he said:
"A generous supply Of water pc
culiarly adapted to industrial use

More Intelligent Workers.
Terming Intelligent workers" an
asset" of Massachusetts,, he declared,
"the resource of labor and its high
standards are explained In no small
part by our fine educational system.
Workers become more intelligent every
year, moreover the industrial worker
has q right to the knowledge that his
children are being adequately edu-
Gated"
The survey also showed that many
smaller factories and shops have
leased space in former textile mills
and large properties.
Such diversihcation makes for q
sounder business and steadier employ
ment," the report said.
Among the new concerns listed by
the association are clothing and hat
manufacturers and firms making a
wide variety Of specialties, including
radio equipment, jewelry, plastic or
naments, cosmetics and furniture.

Senator Pope Hits Neutral.
ity Bills as Weak, Tenn
porary Measures.

Immediate calling of an interna-
tional naval limitations conference,
to be followed by world gather g
on the cause and cure of war, was ad-
vocated by members Of Congress at
a luncheon meeting of the Wash
ington Council on International Re-
lations yesterday at the Cosmos "lub.
The pending Pittman and Nc
Reynolds neutrality bills were de-
scribed by Senator Pope of Idaho,
member of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, as temporary and
only weakly temporary peace bills. "
They are, he said, merely in the
nature of quarantine against war, "
when what is needed is not only a
.uarantine. but "a health department
to find and eliminate causes Of
war"
I'VE will never solve the problem
of war until we use at least as
much intelligence in dealing with
the matter as We have used in
fighting yellow fever or other epi-
denies" the Idaho Senator said.
I'VE can't outlaw war merely by
stopping trade. We must first re, love
the causes of war"
Peace Plea by Fish.
Representative Hamilton Fish of
New York, ranking minority member
of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee and sponsor of a minority
report on the McReynolds bill. made
a plea for the calling of new
international arms conference Ito
stop this mad race" which he
characterized as 1.-The most foolhardy
naval race entered into"
Such naval conference should be
called at once and should be followed
by another larger conference to re-
habilitate the Kellogg BRAND pact and
to discuss causes and cure of war"
Fish said There never has been 50
much need for such international CO.
operation as today. The United States
ought to take the moral leadership
against war. We are delegated by our
position to take the lead for peace" "
For Permanent Embargo.
Fish also urged that the present
temporary embargo against shipment
of arms and materials of war to bel
ligerents be made permanent and
should be extended to all nations, in
time of war or peace Any embargo
should be applied equally to all ships.
American or foreign, he said He op-
posed legislation which would permit
the President to determine what con-
stitutes IAN aggressor nation" declar-
ing that such legislation would, in ef-
feet, be hostile act and would lead
to war
THE way to maintain peace" he
said, lis not to keep passing moral
judgments on our fellow nations. That
Is sure way to war. It is ridiculous
to think we can police the world"
Fish called for national support of
the American Legion proposal to draft
labor. capital and industries in case
of war
There was an open forum discussion
following the addresses, in which Rep
resentative James A. Stanley of Con-
necticut, a member of the House For
eign Affairs Committee, participated

Not the Supreme Court; not
economy-but helium.
That's the subject likely to be
first on the Presidents list when
he returns from the South Friday
morning.
The President is a complete die
tator over the helium situation
But to aid him in his decision as
to whether this rare noninflam
mable gas, whose use might have
spared the Hindenburg, can be ex.
ported to other countries, there
is a committee of three Cabinet
officers, the Secretaries of War
Navy and Interior.
Study Is Secret
While the subject Of helium
is so closely connected with wal
plans as to make it almost a
sacred subject, and not to be
talked Of for publication, high
Government officials today ad
mitted that the question of the
use and export of this gas is
under study and about to be
taken up with the President" It
is understood several other gov
ernments want to buy it.
The matter becomes more com
plicated and interesting now that
it is reported that a field of gas
from which helium can be eX.
tracted has been found in Russia
and that the Russian government
is determined to make use of it
to its fullest possibility in de-
veloping a super fleet Of dirigible
aircraft.
This government IS interested
in helium for war purposes as
well as for commercial aviation.
Commercial companies which
have been straining at the leash
trying to make and sell to the
government one or more great
Skyships of the Hindenburg class
are apparently divided in their
views on the subject Of exporting
helium. AS Is well known. the
United States has almost the only
known large supply.
Navy Plans Airliners
The President up to now has
been opposed to further money
spending on big dirigibles follow
ing the distressing experiences OF
the Akron, Macon and Shenan,
doah, but the Navy itself has
plans for at least three such sky
ships and the Federal Aviation

HeliuIn First Subject
On Presidents List

Commission two years ago re-
ported to Congress favoring the
construction and operation of
rigid airships by the Navy.
That commission also favored
an American-managed tranSatlan-
tic airship service. The plan was
to build a dirigible balloon of huge
passenger-carrying size and lease
it to q commercial operator. 1t
was, of course, to use helium gas.
These recommendations still stand,
but the Presidents feeling that
money should not be spent on
huge dirigibles for naval use also
still stands. .....
Commercial experts in helium
today expressed the opinion that
the President would not approve
large exports of helium in any
case, even if he permitted a little
of it to trickle through to Europe.
They base their opinion on the
idea that, while there are extern
Sive helium gas fields in this coun-
try, there is no definite way of
knowing just how much Of a re-
serve store there is underground.
If too much Of the gas is shipped
away, there is no way of getting
any more, as it is a natural gas
which is distilled out of another
gas. It now costs to produce
about 1894 cubic foot, and 100,-
600 cubic feet is not a large order
by any means. .
