Fishel in Concordia To Hunt for Water
V. C. Fishel, a member of the cooperative ground water staff of the State and Federal Geological Surveys, has gone to Concordia to supervise test drilling in an effort to locate a suitable water supply for an internment camp for enemy soldiers.
The work is being done with a core drill owned by the Geological Survey. The work is being done as part of an extensive special wartime survey of water supplies, and is being done at the request of Army engineers.
Increasing numbers of Axis prisoners being brought to the United States necessitates the additional camps.

CADY - technician in Billings, Mont.; and Mrs. Lewis Longworth, of Whitestone, Long Island; a son, George, on the chemistry staff of the University of Washington, Seattle; two sisters, Mrs. Allen C. Austin, Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. A. C. Gildemeister, Randolph, Vt., and five grandchildren.
Dr. R, Q. Brewster, present chairman, succeeded him.
During the first World War, Dr. Cady engaged in helium research for the federal government. He was asked to find a natural gas supply with sufficient helium to make extraction feasible for use as a substitute for inflammable hydrogen, which was being used in lighter-than-air craft at the time. After prolonged experiments, helium was discovered in a wide belt of territory extending through eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
He was the author of "A Laboratory Guide to the Study of Qualitative Analysis," 1901; (with Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey); "The Principles of Inorganic Chemistry," 1912; and "General Chemistry," 1916.
A Fellow of the American Association for the Adancement of Science, Professor Cady belonged also to the American Chemical Society, Kansas Academy of Science, Sigma Xi, honorary science fraternity, and Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemistry fraternity.

Ask Yourself. Will my trip help win the War?"
THERE are only so many trains—so many Pullmans—so many coaches so many dining cars. No more can be had.
This equipment was more than adequate for peace-time travel even during vacation periods. Today it is barely sufficient to meet the transportation needs of our armed forces. And we know you'll agree that the men in war service should have first consideration.
Therefore, we ask you, as a patriotic American, to question yourself as to the necessity of your trip by rail. Is it important to the winning of the war? Or, as might be the case, is it a truly emergency trip necessitated, for example, by serious illness in the family? These are questions which call for a conscientious answer.
Uncle Sam will appreciate your cooperation. It's for your country's welfare.
