Today -100: February 23, 1922: Of helium


The Roma dirigible flame-out and that of the R-38 last year are being blamed on Congress for not funding helium production. Those two deceased airships were filled with hydrogen, which is flammable... or possibly inflammable... definitely one or the other.

The national convention of Sinn Féin narrowly avoids a split between republicans and free staters by... adjourning for 3 months, delaying the parliamentary election for that period, and putting the Anglo-Irish Treaty to a vote of the electorate.
