Dirigible Progress Sure to Continue, Says Air Expert
Shenandoah Smash Prove Value and Necessity of Modern Use of Helium
New York, Sept. 17—That the Sheenland disaster will have no more effect on the progress of development of aircraft than previous similar vexiles have had in the opulence of the 20th century, who was the first to propose the use of helium in an American airship, and who when chief chemist of the United States began of mines, the rivalry for producing the gas was in quantity.
"The Sheennadoah was simply caught in a storm that was too severe for her or for any other type of aircraft," said Doctor Moore in a statement to Science Service. "Before I learned the details I thought that possibly something had gone wrong with the altering apparatus or that there was an intervening framework; but apparently even this was not the case. That storm would have wrecked anything that tried to fly through it.
"Such danger can never be chimped, but any more than wrecks of automobile, airplanes or railway trains can be entirely done away with. But it has already been greatly reduced, and further improvements are sure to follow."
Flying Danger Reduced
"Lighter thanonic craft are safer today than airplanes. Twice recently, great dirigibles have weathered severe storms, and though severely damaged have returned under their own power to their hangars, under conditions utterly unsafe for airplanes.
"Improved construction of metal parts of nirsbhra will help reduce the chances of accident; but the greatest need of constructural improvement at present is probably the development of a steel skin. It will handle the skin under extreme weather conditions. Engineers burning heavy oil will also be a boon.
Helium Eliminates Fire
"The disaster has shown again the great value and absolute necessity of helium, and oxygen also that gasoline is not so fine fire hazard it has been believed by some. Hydrogen in a much greater fire hazard than gasoline, and this hazed gasoline eliminates entirely. Without helium the Shemambadi village would have taken much greater loss of life. The disaster was bad enough but not nearly as bad as some that have taken place in the past where hydrogen was used instead of helium, so that fire played a major part.
Inflammable: Gas as An Asset
"Our commercial supplies of helium should be considered by the nation as a great asset, and supported adequately by congress, as an important means of national defense as well as an aid to military forces." Helium should always be used until the danger of structural defects in the ships is less, and flying efficiency definitely established.
"I believe personally that the accident to the Shamandha will only shake the confidence of the public for a short time, and that commercial absurdity is being the Al-Malek biologically of the opinion that congress should appropriate money to replace the lost Shamandha at once."
Doctor Powers of N. U.
Meets Singing Mous
Dr. Edwin B. Powers of the University of Nebraska, says that he discovered in his room a mouse which was singing. When he gave chase the mouse proved to have normal mouse instincts for it ran from Doctor Powers. When the doctor became wined from the chance, and was compelled to rest, the mouse sat up on its branches and sang the Nebraska song. The mouse's song was like the clap of a cricket, except that it was much louder. The mouse was accidently killed in the attempted capture.

Harold Grant, coach at the Kansas State Teachers' College of Emporia, reports that sixty freshman have reported for football practice. Although rainy weather prevailed during the first few days of practice of the rain, as so to accustom the team to playing in the mud.
Sixty men are working out in uniform daily at Baker university in preparation for the coming football season. Couch Liston reports prospects for a winning team at the Methodist institution are the best in years, with a number of veteran players back, and several freshman
stars. Besides the regular schedule of games with Kansas Conference schools, Baker will meet William Jewell college, of Liberty, Mo., in an interstate game at Kansas City on Armistice day.
Football prospects at the University of Nebraska were somewhat dimmed when Loke, premier dash and football star, failed to report for practice, due, it is said, to advice on the part of head coach Schute, who is saving Locke for training with his usual weighty team out, and should be found among the leaders in the valley standing.
The first class meeting, at the University of California were held Aug. 21. A summer semester is held there, and student activities continue throughout the summer months as at other times in the year.
The annual flow of students to the University of Missouri has begun, and Columbia is alive with rush week activities at present. Good roads are enabling many students to make their way to campus.

Kansas and Missouri basketball teams will play again this year, making a total of 14 games for the Kansas, according to a report given out from the University department of athletics this morning. It was thought for some time that the teams would play against each other for the new valley raling, each team is required to play only 12 games during the season.
Under the new ruling, each team would not match three other valley teams, if only the required number were played. According to the first schedule the Jayhawker team was Missouri, Mississippi, Washington and Grimke.
The line of games with the Tiger school will now remain unbroken, owing to the efforts of Dr. F. C. Alani and Dr. J. W. Allen, a doctor. Doctor Allen is also endav-
oring to secure games with Washington and Grinnell, so that his team will meet every one in the valley. The new ruler will allow any team to play every other conference team, if the games can be scheduled.
The Tiger quintet comes to Lawrence for the first contest June, 23, and the return game is at Columbia Feb. 23.

N. W. Bass, Geologist of the United States Geological Survey, has returned from Colorado where he had been doing field work. He will spend the week in conference with Dr. Raymond C. Moore of the University of Kansas then go to the southern part of Kansas to continue his field work.
