206,314'0N NEW VETERANS' LIST Claims for Disability Suffered Outside War Service Part- ly Adjudicated. Latest figures on the new so-called disability allowance to veterans suf- fering from ailments not cue to their war service shows that the United tates Veterans' Bureau had received up to Scptember 30 a total of 206,514 applications. The effect of recent instructions of Director Ijams espediting the work of physical examination and the ad- judication of claims is very noticeable in the last reports received. it was stated. To date more than 25,000 claims have been adjudicated, of which 13,312 have been allowec As a result of the assistance rendered by tho additional employes recently authorized, and the untiring efforts of the trained personnel, the bureau is now examining approximately 1,500 veterans per day, and the number of cases ad- Judicated has been increased to more than 1,600 per cay. It is believed that the number of examinations and adjudi- catlons per day will continue to increase as the additional personnel authorized by the director becomes more proficient. With the slight diminution of ap- plications received for September as compared with preceding months, and the large increase in the number of veterans examine¢ and claims adjudi- cated, a feeling of optisism prevails in the bureau. It is believed that within & comparatively short time the bureau will be able to greatly reduce the large number of pending claims for disability aIlov\ancc SPECIAL NOTICE THE ANNU JAL S MEETING of the Colamb MERCHANTS BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, Shareholders’ Meeting.

A copy of the aforesaid agreement executed by a_majority of the Directors of each of the two banks prov that the only hope for transoceanic flights by dirigibles lies in the universal use of helium, which is non-inflamable. So far as is known, the Bureau of Mines pointed out, the United States is the only nation having sufficient re- sources of helium to develop a commer- cial supply for aeronautics. Pollowing one of the recent flights of the Graf Zeppelin and the an- nouncement that construction has been begun on two giant dirigibles for the Navy which will exceed in_size even the ill-fated R-101, the Bureau of Mines pointed out that if dirigibles safety necessary to their successful usc they must depend for buoyancy on a non-inflammable gas. Hydrogen Extremely Explosive. “The only gas of this description having the requirement of lightness is helium, that very rare element which is found, in small proportions, in cer- tain natural gases,” the Bureau stated. “As is well known, the hydrogen gas used as the lifting agent of the Graf Zeppelin is extremely explosive, and the accidental ignition of hydrogen has been responsible for disasters to various airships in the past. “The dirigibles operated by the Army Of R-101 Disaster in honor of the visi-| ‘The hydrogen explosion which de- | the Bureau of | are to offer the real assurance of | "THE SUNDAY STAR.

Shenandoah killed 14 | officers and men of her crew when she | was caught in a line squall near Calc- well, Ohio, September 3, 1925, and broke into three pieces. Among the dead were her commander, Lieut. Comdr. | Zachary Lansdowne, and a native of the National Capital, Lieut. E. W. Sheppard. The Shenandoah was the first Ameri- can-built rigid airship. She was de- signed by the Bureau of Naval Aero- nautics after British and German pat- terns and was built at Lakehurst, N. J. | The Shenandoah was on the way from Lakehurst to the West on a demenstra- tion cruise to 11 Staies when she ran into a terrific line squall just after dawn. Whirled up from an altitude of 3,000 feet to 3,500 feet and then dashed down again, the Shenandoah broke into three parts. One piece, more than 450 feet long, landed in a field near Ava, Ohio. Ali the lives lost were those of officers and men stationed in the control car which was torn from the bag and dropped to the ground, crashing 50 feet from the main section of the balioon.

Dixmude Crash Mystery One of the deadliest airship catas- trophies in hist remains shouded in mystery seven years after it occurred. The French dirigible Dixmude, cressing the Mediterranean Sea, went down with 52 officers and men, leaving not a sur- vivor to describe her fate. It has been presumed she was struck by lightning. Other major airship accidents have been as follows: July 2, 1912, the airship Akron, built for an attempted transatlantic flight, exploded at Atlantic City, N. J.,, with the loss of five lives.

Born in 1875, Had Impressive Record of War Service. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 5—Christopher Birdwood Thomson, first Baron of Cardington, who perished today in the destruction of the dirigible R-101, was appointed Secretary of State for Air by England’s labor government last year. He was born in 1875, son of the late Maj. Gen. David Thomson. Educated at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, he received his_commission in 1894 and served in the Boer War. He was a member of the faculty of the Chatham School of Military Engl- neering from 1902 to 1905 and later was connected with the War College. He was assigned to general headquarters of the British Army in France in 1914, In the next three years he was chief of military commissions to Rumania and Palestine. In 1918 and 1919 he was a member of the Supreme War Council and was re- tired in 1919 with the rank of brigadier general. In 1924 he served as Secretary of State for Air in the first labor gov- ernment. He was author of sever:g books, including & work on aeronautical problems. He was unmarried. SHOW PROSPECTS G0OOoD Enthusiasm over the prospects for success of the forthcoming 1930 indus- trial exposition was expressed last night by Charles W. Darr, president of the Chamber of Commerce. After reviewing in detail the plans for the sixth annual trade show, Darr declared it was clear the affair “will be more complete in every way than previous exhibitions and the result will be the most comprehensive picture of Washington's economic progress and development ever made available to the people of this community.” The chamber head reported he founded his opinion of the superiority of the 1830 display on a careful analysis of results already achieved in its behalf and of the well matured plans remain- ing to be carried into effect. He said it was certain Washington might expect & new standard in such pictorial reviews. “By glving a complete cross section of the whole economic life of Washing- ton, the industrial exposition performs a notable civic service; one that has ‘won the cordial lppmvll of the entire community,” he sa d English Rector Commg to U. 8.

In those rather rare natural gas deposits which contain any helium at all, no more than between 1 and 2 per cent by volume of the gas can be extracted as pure helium. Petrolia Field Near End. “The known natural gas fields to which the United States can look for obtaining its helium are not inexhaust- ible. In fact, the Petrolia field in northern Texas, which has been the principal source of supply, is now in the last stages of its life after producing gas for more than 20 years. Where, then, are to be obtained the large sup- plies of helium which will be necessary for the continued safe operation of the two air monsters recently contracted for by the Navy and cther ships which will be built from time to time. “The maintenance of these vital helium supplies is one of the jobs which have been put up to the Bureau of Mines, the scientific bureau which has 8 | kept the United States in helium for the past several years. For years the chem- ists of the Bureau of Mines have been analyzing samples of natural gas ob- tained from many gas flelds located throughout the country, always in quest of the characteristic bright yellow line which, viewed through the spectroscope, announces the presence of the prized helium. This analytical work has re- sulted in accumulating valuable cata regarding our helium resources, and the answer to the question as to where Uncle Sam is to obtain his-helium, for some time to come, at least, has been found, it is considered, in the Cliffside natural gas structure lying to the north- west of the city of Amarillo, in the Pan- handle district of Texas. A big hellum production plant, embodying in its helium separation cycle the results of thorough research on the part of the bureau’s specialists, is nearing comple- tion near the town’site of Soncy, about six miles west of Amarillo, and from the natural gas of the Cliffside struc- ture, which has been founc to have a helium content of about 13, per cent | by volume, will be extracted the xuvp\lfl of the wonder gas which will keep aloft our giant air cruisers of the future.” “Hollywood Orchard" Out Ga. ave, 2 miles past C. lin IO es it pressed Trom devicious 4p: ples. 40c per bring containers.
