"Helium, the
only one of the romances of science;
nothing In science can ever be said
not to be useful. The part helium
played In the war was so important
that It brought in the whole question
of expansion, as balloons and elements
made It possible to increase the elements of warfare," Dr. R. B. Moore,
chief chemist of the United Stales
Bureau of Mines, Washington, D. C,
who was instrumental in the development of helium, said in the Physics
Building, University of Kentucky, on
Friday, April 9, at the
meeting of the Lexington Section of
the American Chemical Society. Miss
Mary Sweeney presided.
President
McVey Introduced the speaker.
Mr. Moore said in part: "The ques
tion came up early in the war as- - to
whether helium would be of any ad
vantage. Nothing was then done In
this country with helium. If it had
been known of before the war, we
might have had helium dirigibles at
the Dardanelles. Helium is found In
certain natural gases. There are only
two places outside of the United
States that have helium of any com
mercial value, Italy and Wales. In the
United States it is found mainly In
Oklahoma, in the oil district, and ex
tends in a straight line up as far as
Canada. Helium is always associated
with nitrogen, and is formed from
radium. One gram of radium element
per annum will give approximately
one hundred and sixty cubic millmet- ers of helium."
Mr. Moore illustrated his lecture by
means of interesting slides, showing
eclipses and the chemical work going
on in various large plants.

There will be at Camp Custer this
summer, about four thousand students
from all the important colleges and
universities in the Middle West. The
entire expense at each camp will be
borne by the tUnited States. Transportation will be furnished the students from the University to the camp
and return. Substlnence during the
trip will also be supplied and the food
at camp will be the same as that In
the military Academy at West Point
and will be prepared by government
cooks.
Much information concerning the
camp and the details of the work have
been sent to Captain Tucker, and all
students interested may get further
information by calling at his office.
