Services poem, The Shooting of Dan McGrew," you suspected he was writing out of whole cloth. But he wasnt. You can take that from Michael A. Mahoney, a rugged Irishman, who went into the Klondike as a boy of seventeen and knows all about it. Mahoney was in the Malmute, where a bunch of the boys were awhooping it up, and saw the whole affair. Lou, he says, was not a loose woman,' as Service's readers suspect. She was a respected wife of Johannesburg, S. A., when she met Dan McGrew and ran away with him. Her husband vowed to find her and settle matters with Dangerous Dan.

Helium has always been an American monopoly, so zealously guarded as a precious military s.cciet during the World war years that the War and Navy departments never dared mention it by name. Lifting the ban on sale of helium also makes it possible to lift the curtain on this strange drama of war operations never before revealed. The first scene is laid in Great Britain where, in the winter of three great dirigibles, built at a cost of $15,000,000 were poised in hangars, ready to retaliate for the German zeppelin raids which had terrorized London. Because German inventors had succeeded in duplicating an incendiary bullet first created by the British, the costly airships, filled with explosive hydrogen, dared not venture out. Britain Eyes FJ.

The admiralty lost no time in dispatching a secret mission to call upon Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, and the scene shifted to America. Britain offered to develop the fields discovered in Kansas in 1S05, and those later found at Amarillo, Texas, where Uncle Sam now maintains a helium plant capable of producing 24.000,000 cubic feet a year.
