Surgeons of the Flower hospital have
Just effected a remarkable cure of a patient
suffering with a malignant tumor by means
of the injection Of gelatin impregnated
with radium. Only one other similar case
on record, according to the hospital au-
thorities, was treated in Europe recently
by means of radium in a glass tube. which
was sewed up in the tumor. In the Flower
hospital case the tumor was as large as a
grape fruit, and was first reduced by use
of the X-rays. Then the radioactive
gelatin was injected. and at the end OF five
weeksc the growth was so materially re-
duced that the patient was allowed To go
home. 1t is expected that he will recover,
although the tumor was in the abdomen,
and his death was expected six months ago.
No official report has been made on the
case, nor has the name Of the patient been
made. He is a well-to-do resident of west
chester county. and went to the hospital
with the idea Of an operation. The history
Of the case is to be published in the official
journal OF the New York Homeopathic col
lege ia a short time.

A bargain rush and riot In Brooklyn last
Friday was the hardest proposition the
police of the borough had to handle for
many a year. The trouble was caused by
literally advanced sales by rival 5 and 10
cent stores located within a few doors of
each other. These sales were advertised
to begin at $40 o'clock. But long before
Z o'clock women began to arrive and
crowd about the unopened stores. Women
from every quarter of town arrived to swell
the crowd. Some were hatless and others
came with sleeves rolled up, as though
they had just left their days work for a
few minutes that they might profit by
the bargains offered. The stores we're SELL
ing umbrellas for 5 cents, mems overalls
and wash boilers for 10 cents. other bar
gains equally attractive were offered.
When the doors opened the women win
a rush forced their way into the stores.
So great was the crush from those who
were struggling to be among the first to
gain entrance that scores of women fell
in a faint and were trampled by the women
who followed.
Police reserves were called out to quell
tho riot. The mounted men rode through
the crowd, and by using their clubs the
other policemen we're finally able to force
the women back.
So many women tainted or were other
wise overcome by the crush within the
stores that DR.. Rodderman, who arrived
with the ambulance from the Bushwick
hospital, realized that he could not minister
to all of the injured. The ambulance was
sent back to the hospital on the run and ad-
ditional surgeons were brought.
Those women who arrived early and
made their purchases had just as much
difficulty in getting out of the stores as
they had to get in. As they streamed out
many were without hats and wraps and
their faces were scratched, but they trium-
phantly carried out their bargain counter
purchases.

tan Museum Art exhibit; aquatic sports,

NEW CONDITION oF AEEAlRs.

On Oct. 23 Durango faced a new
and strange condition of things. II
was Saturday and as usual many farm
ers came to town, but considering the
time of year, very few of them brought
farm produce along. From the way
they acted and talked 1t looked as II
they had come in simply to find out
what kind of prices were being of
fered, and from the way they acted
and talked after they found out, 1t was
plain that La Plata county farmers

although they were offered $190 for
wheat, s1,70 for oats and Sl4 for al
falfa, none of them seemed inclined
to sell. Considering those compare.
lively high prices, that was a strange
and unusual way for the farmers to
act, for at this time last year they
were falling over one another 10 sell
their wheat for sl50. their oats for
sl.S0, and their alfalfa for $40
The remarkable thing about the sit.
uation is that none of them seem TO
be in any hurry 10 sell. Everyone
seems to want the other to unload
first, and many different explanations
are given for their unusual behavior
The first explanation that suggests
itself is that they have an idea that
the hay and grain crop is shorter than
1t was last year. But by talking to
them you find they have no such idea
Most of them know very well that
there is at least twenty per cent more
grain on this side of the range than
there was last year, and than the hay
crop is quite as large; the only diff
ference being that a good deal of II
was damaged by the rain. Most o
them know, for instance. that in MAY

sequently a good deal of the grair

the almost continuous rains through

The present high prices OF beef over
the counter are causing not only beef
producers but beef consumers to take
n keen interest In the beef congress

tional live stock show. All phases Of
beef production will be discussed al
that time; and, In view OF this dis.
cussIon. additional light ON feeding
problems is Of interest. The Colorado
Agricultural college has done some re-
cent feeding work in an attempt to
find whether II pays to grain feed
steers that are to be carried over on
range another season or two.
Tho first question to which an an
swer was sought, was whether 1t IL

yearolds. Some OF the calves fed
during the winter were given ration
OF four pounds per head OF corn. with
all the alfalfa hay they wanted; while
others were fed twenty pounds OF
sugar beets, with alfalfa hay. These
calves gained on the average 259
pounds per head during the winter
only 81 pounds less than they gained
the next winter as yearlings The
fall that they were yearlings they
weighed 140 pounds per head moro
than steers of the same crop brought
in from the range as yearlings. The
next spring they were only ITO pounds
heavier. the next fall 80 pounds heav.
Ter. and the spring they were market.
brought from the range as yearlings
The gradual decrease In the margin
between the two sets OF steers indi
Gates that the winter feeding as calves
hastened the steers to maturity and
consequently lessened their capacity
for gain each successive season at a
rapid rate.
Another way to look at the ques.
tion is to compare the gains made
each year by the same lot OF steers
The lot fed as calves made a gain OF
400 pounds per head the first winter
and succeeding summer; the next year
they made 352 pounds gain per head
already starting down hill, you no
tice-and the last winter they made
gain of only 1923 pounds per head
OF 36 pounds per head less than they
made the winter they were calves
Considering the year when thoy
We're one year old, they made gain
OF 43l pounds. as against gain Of
2S5 pounds when two-yearolds. And
the steers that were not fed until they
were yearlings made gain OF 4b6
pounds the year that they were twos.
Thus. any way one wishes to look
at the problem, the feeding of calves
does not appear profitable II they are
to be held over for finishing as aged
steers.
Further results show that the year.
ling steer makes larger gains on less
feed than the two-year-old. The more
rapidly you can push meat animal
TO maturity the greater the profit.
