The helium, which comes from Texas and Arizona, will be chieny shipped by sea, and in that case Dr. Eckener expects that the cost of transport to Frankfort will be no greater than that of the over-j land journey from the south-west to Lakehurst, New Jersey, the base for American airships. The actual negotiations on the sale, it ap- pears, are not yet completed, but the United States authorities are understood to have been satisfied that hellum, in such quantities as they are prepared to ship it, could. not be used effectively for military purposes.

Alled with helium, Dr. Eckener's opinion rules out sabotage.

The difference of only twenty cents concerning compensation led to an argument between a cyclist and a hawker at the junction of Johnston Road and Percival Street. in the Wanchal district last night, It appears that shortly after 9 p.m. the hawker was knocked. down by 2 fellow-countryman riding a blcycle. The" hawker's dried meats and other foodatuns he had for sale were discarded from the stall as a result of the impact.
The hawker asked for one dollar compensation.
The cyclist agreed but when he counted his money he found he had only eighty cents. This he offered But the hawker alsolutely refused. The argument ended abruptly. The cyclist bolted leaving the hawker to collect his foodstuffs and with the bicycle as security).

OUTLOOK
Concern Regarding The Future Of Spain
(BY SIR HERBERT RUSSELL,
In the United Services Review"! ..
Some time ago Great Britain and Italy exchanged diplomatic "assurances on the subject of the naval position In the Mediter- ranean. It was understood that both countries agreed to respect the interests of one another in that sea; in fact, to maintain the status quo as it existed prior to the period of severe tension which arose over the invasion of Abyssinia. This is satisfactory as far as it goes. But there exists a very disturbing factor in the situation and that is the problem of the future of Spain.
