y weird world that would exist

~ weird world that would exist
If the oceans were filled with that
strange fluid called helium ii. in
stead Of salt water
Everybody knows that If you
put water and other common
liquids into a container they stay
there. But not helium ii. For
tunately this fantastic liquid is
found only in few scientific
laboratories, and il is good
thing, too. because it dehes all
the laws Of gravity and can creep
up and run right out of its con-
tainer
The accompanying drawing
gives an artists conception of
what would happen to ships that
might sail on oceans of such a
liquid.
Frantic terror would seize the
seamen as the thin, ghostly, and
vaporous film would begin 20

Swab az hard as they could the

the deck IL would flow To all
parts OF the ship IL would move.
slowly yet irresistibly to the
pilot house up the highest masts
and. most important, down into
the hold
The whole inside Of the craft
would be filled with the strange
fluid and il would sink.
Or would it? No one really
knows because this fantasy Of the
mind isn't in any danger OF be-
coming a reality.
What is this mysterious stun
Ordinary helium is the light, col
orless, buoyant gas widely used

every breath you take. you
breathe in a tiny amount of the
substance.
But If you compress this gas
and squeeze and chill IL in the
laboratory you can turn IT into a
fluid that looks like light. pale.
blue water.
Chill is a mild word for what
you have TO do TO get IT, The
temperature must be lowered
nearly TO absolute zero, that point
never yet reached by man where
there is no heat. only cold Minus

grade is the temperature Of liquid
helium H. And absolute zero
the coolest Of cold is minus 273
degrees
The creep phenomenon OF this
fluid is only one OF it's many
amazing characteristics which de-
light research scientists. Some
of them have studied how easily
IT flows through a super-tiny PIN
hole Yet it would take more
than 1000 years for an equal
amount Of water TO get through
the same sized opening. But
helium II flows more easily the
colder it gets
In fact, If you took a paddle
and stirred up a container Of the
substance il would feel like moth
ing so much as stirring the air.
HelieHa-H- is-a iieaid, att right;
but IL is so lacking in viscosity
that it feels like a vapor.

County 2-sd~AhIaI
MtsIa>x Council

The proposed removal of the
district offices of the Office of
Price Administration is causing
great concern among all of the
local unions affiliated with the
council. Representatives of coun-
ell r taking the position that
such a move would be a direct
slap in the fact to Labor in the
Dayton and Montgomery County
area.
It is a well-known fact to all
local unions of the CLIO that dur
ing the present emergency, the
entire income of council is being
used to further the war efforts of
the community. Representatives
who work In behalf of the OPA on
every rationing board, on the price
panels, on the Dayton War Man
Power Committee, on the Dayton
Emergency Committee, on all Sc
lective service boards, and in fact
on every public or civic commit
tee of importance, are the contri-
button of CLIO in Dayton to the
work on the home front.
Removal of the district offices
of OPA would force the taking
of all local problems out of the
city for settlement, not only de-
laying important action, but to all
intents destroying the efforts that
we have put forth to help the
OPA and our community. The
program of both u government
and CLIO nationally, designated to
"hold-the-li lime" on prices, will SUI
fer a severe setback If the OPA
should remove the district offices
from Dayton.
Council is asking all affiliated
local unions, their executive
boards and stewards councils, as
well as every member who reads
this column, to write their pro-
tests against the removal Of the
OPA offices, to the Office of
Price Administration and Ration
ing Labor Offices in Washington,
D. c., and the regional offices Of
the same agency in Cleveland,
Ohio.

Voting IS Important

Council wishes to remind every
reader that their registering and
voting is of great importance, not
only to their union, but to your
self. In the small sum of one
dollar that you pay for a months
union benefits, you not only re-
ceive all of the representation of
the committees name in the above
column representation in the
shop, vacations and decent wages,
but you also receive the advant-
ages of representatives to protect
your rights that are being threat
ened by adverse labor legislation.
In asking that every member
register and vote, your council is
loking into the future, . future
that may be very black unless the
things that we have won are pro-
tected by the proper kind of rep
resentation in the halls Of govern
ment. Every vote will count In
the fight that lies ahead in the
coming elections. There are Ger
tain of the representatives that we
permitted to be elected who have
voted against the interests of the
working man and woman In every
instance. We are hoping that
every worker will properly re-
sent these unwarranted attacks,
and will show that resentment by
their voting at the coming cleo
tions. The names and records Of
these representatives will be pub
lished before the elections.

Leavenworth's Tech gridders have
yet to score q point after tests with
two rivals, New Haven Commercial
winning 1870 game in the Elm
City yesterday. A week ago, Ham
den spoiled Techs home seasonal
debut with a $50 victory. For the
first half Of yesterdays game, the
Waterbury team threatened to adj
vance to a score but were stalled by
penalties on the Commercial Is
yard line. The winners were held
scoreless for the first half but got
touchdowns in each Of the last two
periods Of play.

first by dropping a throw at first
base which led to two unearned
runs, and then by a wild pitch
that permitted the winning run to
score. And in the third game
after Morton Cooper, pitching with
heavy heart a few hours after he
had learned of his fathers death
had evened the series by beating
big Ernie Bonham In the second
game-it was four Cardinal errors
that ruined a brilliant world series
pitching debut by rookie southpaw
AL Brazle.
AS the teams spent yesterday
travelling, the talk still conferred on
the eighth inning of Thursdays
contest when costly error by
George (Whitey) Kurowski set the
stage for a five-run rally that gave
Ford ham Hank Borowy a 6 to 2 VIC
tory in the crucial third game which,
baseball tradition has 1t, usually
decides the series winner.
There was little inclination to
blame Kurowski, hero of last years
upset victory over the Yankees, for
he dropped the ball only after
Johnny Lindell, six foot-four and
220-pounds Of Yankee, came into the
bag hard enough to drive the Car
dinal third sack guardian almost
back to his native, Reading, Pa.
That was the turning point Of
the game, for the Yankees living
up to their tradition of taking ad-
vantage of the other guys mis-
takes, went on to win going away.
Kurowsh came out Of the COL
lision with stiff neck as well as an
error. But he said his neck was
responding to treatment and that
he would be ready to 60, come Sum-
day.
Seven Games?
All reserved seats for the local
games Of war times second world
series were sold out weeks ago and
a capacity crowd Of $4,000 appeared
a certainty for each of the con-
tests that will be played here.
Under the schedule adopted to
lessen the strain on transportation
facilities, the rest Of the series will
be played here. Although the bet
ting odds veered sharply In favor Of
the Yankees after they took the
third contest, the feeling Of a lot
Of baseball men was that for the
first time since 1910, when the Gin
cinnati Reds defeated the Detroit
Tigers, there was a good chance that
the world series would run the
full seven games.

BY JACK CUDDY

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, oct. e--CUP)--During
1913 play, the National and Amer
lean Leagues each perpetrated ex-
actly the same number Of errors,
1903, although you'd never believe
1t after looking at the composite
box score Of the current World Sc
ries, which shows eight boomers for
the Cards, and only two for the
Yanks.
Final Major League averages dis
closed today that the two circuits
fielded almost on q par, with the
Nationals leading by one percent
age point. 9T4 to .973. But in the
series, the National Cardinals have
been fielding only $50, against the
American Yanks' 1888.
Likewise, the Cards have not been
unfolding the National divisions
batting superiority over win zar-
ridges circuit. The National League
finished with a batting average Of
1853, against $50 for the Americans.
Last year there also was an eight
point difference in league batting,
but it favored the Americans, .257
to .249.
Weak hitting has been q feature
Of American League play this sea-
son. Many junior-circuit managers
have commented upon It. but none
had a definite explanation. Some
thought that perhaps the American
group had lost fewer good pitchers
to the services, than the Nationals.
But that was Just a guess.
The st. Louis Cardinals topped
the National division in club bat
ting this year with .279, whereas
Detroit, the leading American out
fit, had only .261, five points bet
ter than the Yanks. Yet, in the
series, the Cards have been hitting
only .211 against the Yanks .229.
In keeping with the letdown
among American League batsmen,
Luke Appling, White Sox shortstop,
won that divisions championship
with 1928, the circuits lowest title
figure In 35 years-lowest since Ty
Cobb's 1924 in 1908. 1t was 80
points lower than Appling's 1888,
with which Luke won the crown in
1896.
Slumped In Series
Meanwhile, Stan Musial, Cardinal
outfielder, topped National League
batsmen for 1e43 with a mark Of
.357-nothing to brag about, but
nevertheless the highest National
mark since Joe Medwick's .374 in
1887. Musial Is hitting .273 in the
World Series.
