Steadfast and ever worthy it should be made to stand as long as the things made by man’s hands may stand to keep alive the memory of the spirit which is eternal, No petty thoughts of | temporary, passing beauty, spectacu- lar for a time only to become dim in a few years should swerve the deci- sion from one Inspired by the idea of permanency, The memory of those men and what they gave will never dle. The memorial that is to represent that memory must be strong and as enduring it is "possible for us to make it, with the strength of simple dignity its keynote,” The Herald was then speaking of the proposed memorial to the dead, Since that time the Iferald has urged in every way possible greater care for the disabled of the war. We have done what we could to empha- size the propriety of the honus for the living who have not been disabled but who, nevertheless, are deserving of materfal recognition at the hands of A people growing more and more aware of its duty to those who served. A year ago we urged a memorial to the dead which should primarily con- sider the dead. Our position is the same today. The memorial planned by the committee and adopted by the evening con- | common council last siflers the memory of and the tribute | due. the dead. The Herald belioves this is the proper sort of memorial— and we believe, also, that the people of the eity will come to sce it In this light in time, Bit the Herald hopes that the memorial, as finally adopted, will ex- press the desires of the people of the city., We have no wish to urge any memorial the people of the city do net want. While hoping sincerely that this proposed memorial will be the one to be adopted, the Herald trusts that it will come as an expression of that desire of the majority of the people who feel so deeply on this sub- Jeet. PLANT TREF! Whoever is responsible for the plan Al way to eneourage in a most practi the beautifying of the eity by planting more trees, is to be congratulated.

In regard to this respect of the camp affairs it is satisfactory to find that the gains made by the children who had this outing last been permanent gains, and-that the things learned were not forgotten, It if the same might be said about every move- ment when, ‘for a day, a week or a month, the improtance of certain im- provements in habits, methods and the like, are emphasized. Some good undoubtedly, from ‘Thrift Weeks” and the like. While the drive is on many people are persuaded to practicd thrift or what- ever habit 18 being emphWsized on that special day or week, But as soon as the drive or campaign is over we are inclined to forget all the lesgons learn- ed and to fall back into the old paths | which are not always the proper paths. In other words there is Nttle | “follow-up work” done and whatever advantages came from the emphasis laid upon good things for a time, is gradually lost. The follow-up work in such cases must be done individually as a rule. It ean not be expected that a whole city will go on throughout the year displaying posters tgacall our at- tention to all the subjects'taken up in these campaigns during the year, But each individual may well tuck away i some conscious brain cell the con- vincing arguments brought out at various times in the year when life's better and more profitable and kind- lier aspect are emphasized.

Moore of New York | city, formerly chief chemist of the | United States bureau of mines, de- {clared today in an address on ‘‘re- cont developments in the recovery ol Helium from natural gas” beiore the ;pvllulvum chemistry division of the American chemical society, “In addition to the disaster to the | Dixmude,” Dr, Moore continucd, “the | Z1t-2 burned over Hull, England, and | {the Roma burned at Langley Meld, Va, In each case the disaster was preceded or accompanied by mechani- cal troubles, but these negd not nec- essarily have been fatal to any of the crew had these airships been filled | ! with helium, “In other words, the last three big disasters have all been accompanicd by fire and bave been primarily due to fire. In addition, a number of small blimps have alsg burned and it | I8 time for the facts to be thoroughly known and appreciated.” Dr. Moore said that the export of helium should be forbidden by fed- eral legislation, as the United States posscsses a practical monopoly of this gas. Helinm, he asserted, has far- reaching possibilities in commercial aviation, but these would be endang- ered by the construction of hydrogen ships, which, he thought would prob- ably burn up: The United States posscss the only large supplies of helium pearing gas in the world,” Dr. Moore continued. “I'he gas belt containing helium ex- | tends through Texas, up through Ok- lalioma, southeastern Kansas, Ohio, Pennsyivania and_ New York, and comes baek through West Virginia to Femucky, and the richest gas is in Texas, Oklahoma and southcastern Kanras, With helium, it would be impossi- hie to destroy an airship with « single incondiery bullet; it would be neces- sary 1o vip the bags to pieces by means of a large bomh or shell before the sr:hip could be brought to the grour 4. In future wars, airchips will be Luil sufficiently large to carry & nerdar of small Highting ‘rnl.mq!

Fifty 006,000 cublc foot shipe, each one carrying six airplanes and 20 tons of bombs would do im- mense damage 1o any city and would e well protected by the fghting planes that the ships would carry. This country has practically a mon- opoly of helium gas and it is strong- iy advisable that exportation of this valuable assct should not be allowed. The cost of helium is being eut so rapidly that within a year or two will be virtually as cheap as hydro- gen.” Pupils of tha london elementary sehiools have the use of a trateling ibrary of 2,000,000 hooks. uying coal in the fall is just a habit.
