This new helfum gas is a romance within Itself. Five years ago it was known only to the chemist’s laboratory and it’ cost $17,000 a cubic foot; today, the government's helium plant at Fort Worth, Texas, is producing 10,000,000 cubic feet a year at eight cents a foot, and expects soon to reduce this to three cents. Helium is extracted from the natu. ral gas used in Fort Worth homes, with no result except to purify It; for years It had been wasted. Not all natural gas contains hellum, but the United States bureau of mines has spotted the fields that do and the purpose of the bill now pending In congress is to give the govern- ment control of such fields and con- serve the supply. No other nation could duplicate such an air program because non- explosive hellum {s an absolute es | sential to It, and the bureau of mines |reports that helium-bearing gas is not found elsewhere in the world on a scale sufficient to justify com- mercial production.
