tlon to procure additional helium that the Los Angeles will be unable to operate normally. Production Falls In August, 1926, the Ft. Worth helium plant produced 1,110,000 cubic feet of helium gas. During this past month the production bad fallen ‘to less than 500,000 cubic feet. Some of this great decrease was due to the fact that the plant waa closed down for a few days for necessary overhauling, but even in July when the plant was worked at capacity the production of helium was only 626,000 cubic feet. Had it not been for the unfortunate disaster to the Shenandoah the present production would have been greatly below demand. Bureau of mines officials say that in event Congress appropriates money for the two 6,000,000 cubic feet dirigibles which were authorized last spring that it will be Impossible to inflate them with helium under present conditions. “Congress has either got to appropriate money for additional helium or use inflammable hydrogen to inflate the proposed dirigibles,” one official said toda^. Field Dwindles Bureau of mines statistics discloses that the petroleum field has

dwindled from 135,000,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas in 1907 to an estimated supply of 15,000,000,000 cubic feet. Only about one per cent of natural gaa is helium. Despite the still large content of the field the Increasing difficulties encountered in extracting the gas make the helium supply problem particularly difficult. This is illustrated by the fact that tests made in 1915 by the bureau of mines showed that the average open flow of gas in the petrolia field was 8,000,000 cubic feet per day per well. Today the open flow is but 89,000 cubic feet per day. A solution to the problem is presented in the fact that another gas field known as the Nacona field, some twenty-flve miles further from Ft. Worth, can be tapped if Congress will appropriate the $500,000 needed to construct an additional pipe line and compressor station. Congress last year, however, refused to approve such a proposal. Unless it does do so at the next session or provides for construction of helium plants in some other gas field, lighter-than-air aviation activities will have to be curtailed.

there are seventy signatories, all prominent. ‘We call for some definite step towards complete disarmament, and the demilitarising of the minds of civilized nations," says 'the manifesto. "The most effective measure towards this would be the universal abolition of conscription. We therefore ask the League of Nations to propose the abolition of compulsary military service in alKcountrles as a first step towei ds true disarmament. “By the universal abolition of conscription, war will be made less easy. The government of ,a country which maintains conscription has little difficulty in declaring war. When governments have to depend for support upon the voluntary consent of their peoples, they must necessarily exercise caution in their foreign policies. “By the universal abolition of conscription, we can take a decisive step towards peace and liberty."

' Whal A,* You Studying? HISTORY, jnathematics, literature, languages, science? In your whole curriculum, there is no lesson more important than how to guard your health. Long after your hardwon French vocabulary is forgotten, you will be putting into daily practice—if you are wise—the rules of health. , School work, with its continual studying, its sports, dances and social affairs demands a vigorous body. How discouraging it is to miss the good times. And sometimes, how unnecessary. First of all, then, learn the lesson of health. Find out what fresh air will do, exercise, sleep and proper food. Many school girls have learned that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has helped them to find the health they needed and has made their school days happier. ®“I gave my fifteen year old daughter, Louise, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it did her a wonderful lot of good. She had been out of school for four months. I read the advertisements of the Vegetable Compound, and since she has taken it she has improved and has gone back to school again. 1 recommend the Vegetable Compound to other mothers with girls who are not as strong as should be.” Mrs. Alicb^jutHan, Charleston, 111.
