’HELM PLANT
IS BEING BUILT
AT FT, WORTH
FORT WORTH, Texas, March 25
(by Associated Press).—A great he
lium plant from which the United
States government hopes to obtain
non-inflammable gas in sufficient
quantities to supply its military bal
loons is near completion here. Instal
lation of machinery has begun and it
is expected that the plant will be in
operation by August 1, unless con
^ ^ress should fail to further support
the undertaking. Helium is extracted
from natural gas by a secret process.
Construction of the plant, the only
one of its kind in the world, at a cost
of approximately $5,000,000, was start
ed during the world war, following a
series of experiments conducted by
army and navy experts here and at
Petrolia. Texas. Beyond the fact that
a non-inflammable, non-explosive gas
had been developed, the results of the
experiments have remained a secret.
The helium plant, since its construc
tion started, has been under military
guard. A naval lieutenant is in com
mand.
LATE ALASKA NEWS
l
It is to be hoped that Alaska min
ting operators who can possibly do so
will attend the International Mining
Convention to be held in Seattle
fron? April 7 to 10. The convention
promises to be a fine success. A very
excellent program is being arranged
for the occassion.
The Ketchikan Chronicle is advo
cating the election of a local preach
er as mayor of that city. The Chron
icle says he deserves the honor for
unselfish devotion to the civic good
during the influenza epidemic. Why
the Chronicle should consider the
mayorship of an Alaskan town as a
reward we cannot see. We would re
fer the Chronicle to Mayor “Dolly”
Gray of Juneau as to that reward
stuff.—Douglas News.
Writing from his old home at
Azusa, California, Dr. H. J. McCal
lum, former old-time physician of
Fairbanks, says that the scarcity of
Alaskans in that part of the state
makes him lonesome for the North.
A Tt was not so bad when he first ar
rived in the states, for he was on
* the go much of the time, and he met
so many old-timers in Seattle and
San Francisco that he felt quite at
home in those cities. But the quiet
life in the old home town, without
a sight of a familiar Alaskan face,
is getting on his nerves. He found
considerable sickness among his rela
tives in Azusa.

As a successful business man you are directly interested
inefficiency—in overhead costs. You are quick to adopt
proven methods which reduce operating costs and the la
bor of your employes—men and women.
Being busy you can not be expected to supervise the
work in the home, but a little thought on the wash-day
V .
problems of the wife might prove interesting. As you
| are by nature more inclined to figures, it will pay you to
consider this problem and compare costs.

Besides the saving of more than $4 a month in money,
consider the saving to you and your wife of her beauty,
youthfulness, patience and her health, which are inesti
mable. For these reasons, and for your own comfort, this
1 question DEMANDS the attention of every husband and
father.
When you figure this home washing question from the
standpoint of dollars, health, comfort and happiness, it is
absolutely false economy for your wife to continue doing
her own washing, or even having it done at home. Re
lieve her of this work and worry of wash day—take the
initiative. Call up Phone 66 and our MR. LONG will
gladly call on you and explain prices and our system.
