Mrs. Nation Creates Excitement at

Washington, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation knocked a cigarette out of a
house messengers mouth today, and
admonished the doorkeeper of the
gallery that he really ought not to
smoke"
The Kansas saloon smasher and
hatcher wielder finally was escorted
from the capitol building by the po-
lice, but not until she had made a
general round of the building.
In the supreme court she passed
quiet quarter of an hour listening to
legal arguments.
In the house office building she
talked to a member or two and upon
the gallery floor of the house she had
business with the interstate commerce
committee under the wrong impress
sion that the committee was consid-
ering an anti-gaInbling bill.
Chairman Mann of the committee,
who did not know Mrs Nation, directed
her to the senate judiciary committee,
where the hearing on Senator Burk-
ett's anti-race track betting bill was
held yesterday. Arriving too late she
started in search of Senator Clark of
Arkansas, who. she said, would
father her prohibition bill because she
had become a citizen of his state. In
the senate office building Carrie started
to harangue the crowd from interior
steps and then the capitol police de-
cided her visit mad lasted long enough.

similar diseases. Those who are inter-

on the same plan as similar ones in
Paris and London. The work will be
divided into various sections. such as
chemical, physical, medical and botan-

will be available.
Supplies of pitchblende for manu-

ing the radium will be conducted. It
is planned to have factory in New
York for the preparation of the radium
and also hospital, and it is announced

scientists who are interested in it are
not only giving their services free, but
are contributing from their own means
to the fund which Will be required
to establish the plant. The coopera-
ton of several wealthy men has been
assured.
The supply of radium is extremely
limited, but it is hoped through the
activity of the institute to increase
it and to widen the application of this
powerful remedial agent. The market
price is $1,000 for ten milligrams. In
order to make the substance do is duty
to the utmost milligram it is also used
in the form of coatings, which are
placed on pencils of celluloid. One of
these pencils may be placed in ma
