One Of Mime. Curie's recent achieve
mepts has been to explain the true na-
ture Of polonium, a strange metal
which she discovered years ago.
Polonium II about 5000 times more
rare than radium, and 1t Is doubted
whether there Is more than a pound Of
pure radiuBs In the whole world. Po-
lonium loses weight and disappears In
lao days, white radfum will take thou
sands Of yssrp to be exhausted. Po-
'lonium Is an active Eermieide and de-
stroys certain types Of ulcers.
Polonium Is one of q series Of allied
metals, Uranium decomposes into Joni
um. Ionium deeomposes and forms
radium. Radtum gives OF emanations
which change from one substance to
another, and n of these is polonium.
1t Is suggested that lead may. be the
relic of radium left after thousands Of
years of activity.
Polonium would work miracles If
there were enough Of 1t. A grain of
polonium would heat 100000, 100000
gallons Of water two degrees. An
ounce would tow a battleship 2,500,0 00
miles. The same quantity would drive
a tifty-six horsepower automobile 400
times around the world at a rate of
thirty miles an hour.
Radium and polonium are produced
from ~pitchblende. a mineral which was
formerly thrown away after 1t had
been used for the extraction Of urani-
um. From a ton Of ~pitchblende al,
most enough radium to cover the point
of a pin is produced. About one-fve
hundredths of that quantity of poloni
UNI is produced from the same amount
OF pitchblende.

CLYDE MILAN REWARDED
FOR HIS FINE SHOWING
Nationals Management Sends Little Outfieder Sub
Stantia Check-Other Gossip.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Clyde Milan. the Nationals great little
outfielder, joined the club in Norfolk last
March wondering whether Manager
Jimmy McAleer was going to keep him
on the club or let him out to the minors
Two years ago Manager Cantllon
spoiled one of the best outielders in the
business by his bulldog tactics, or, in
other words, Cantillon got MiIan's
goat and really made the young man
believe that he was not fit for the big
leagues.
1t all happened early in the 1909 season
when Milan, in one OF the Western games
was sliding TO base and wrenched his
ankle Word was passed TO CanulIon
that Clyde had broken his leg, ana the
former remarked: Il wish he had broken
both Of EN-; he isn't any good"
This last statement got right back to
Milan, and as the boy is keenly sensitive,
he carried a small-sized crouch along
with him during the remainder of the
season. Consequently. the Washington
club was not favored with Mian's best
efforts
amiable a frame of mind. and knowing
little of Jim McAleer or his methods was
wondering what would happen, figuring
that McAleer would possibly use CantiI-
Ions tactics and that he CAiilam was
slated for an early berth with the minors.
Not so with McAleer as Manager Jim
during the first week Of practice paid
considerable attention to Milan. and fire.
quently walked out 10 the ball park with
Clyde. In cheering words he often said.
Il know you've got IL In you. my boy.
and / am counting on YOU to do a lot
for me this season"
All Milan needed was a little en-
couragement, and McAleer came across
with the right stuff; incidentally he made
one of the best outiclders i'm the league
out Of him. something Joe Cantllou
never could have done i'm 100 years.

Cross Society, died last night at Heiden.
a health resort
Mr.. DuEant was born nearly ninety
years ago. In 1889 he witnessed the battle
Of Solferino, in Northern Italy. where the
suffering OF the injured impressed him so
that he decided 10 interest all Of the ma
tons OF the world In a treaty 10 protect
those caring for the wounded in time Of
war. and also 10 protect the hospital
trains
Shortly after the battle of Solferino he
wrote a poem, A Souvenir Of SOlferino. O."
which was read throughout the world
and which resulted in twelve OF the ma
lions meeting at Geneva, Switzerland. in
1854, and signing a treaty. The United
States signed the treaty in lSS2 The
original treaty was revived in 1906 and
signed by all Of the nations OF the world
When the Red Cross Society was
formed it was decided 10 adopt an EN-
blem. As a token Of appreciation of the
efforts Of Henri Dunant. il was decided
to reverse the colors Of the Swiss flag
from white cross with red background
TO 4 red cross with a white background,
and use that as the flag of the society.

PRACTICING FOR VIRGINIA
HilltOppers Preparing for Biggest
Game of Season.
Team in Good shape After Struggle
with North Carolina - WnIsh
shows Up Good at Quarter,

Georgetown started yesterday on a two
weeks preparation for the biggest game
Of the season. which takes place week
from Saturday. when Virginia clashes
with the Hilltoppers on the West End
gridiron. Not until o'clock did the
squad come out on the field. Coach Mel
son giving his charges a long blackboard
practice of an hour and a half in the
gym room. working out theoretically
many trick plays which viii be used
against the Southerners. After this the
FIRST and second team ran through signal
drill until well after 8 o'clock.
No injuries We're reported from the
North Carolina game, which was one of
the cleanest ever played on Georgetown
Field, With the exception of Capt Daily,
all are in good condition, and. barring
any accidents in scrimmage during this
week, there Will not be a cripple on the
squad. Daily will be home for few
days recuperating from a recent nervous
attack, which. however, is nothing seri-
Gus. Both HaggertY and Costello are
expected cut the middle of the week and
will strengthen the squad considerably.
Although Walshs work AT quarter was
not of the highest order still he has the
eart1arks for this position. and with a
little more practice he should be able
10 take care of himself. and the fact
that his drop kicking was in evidence last
saturday has caused the followers of
the Blue and Gray 10 look for something
Ike this against Virginia Assistant
Coach Cox is also working with QuiIlan
and Costello in this art, ald there is no
doubt that Georgetown will be well
fortified in this department VIyman
showed up well at full. as did also Kraft
who took his place in the second half.
which was gratifying TO the coaches, con-
sidering that full and quarter are the
weak positions of the team
Percy GivenS has been added to the
STAFF of coaches and will take the center
men in charge until the Virginia game.
II is probable that Eastern College will
be brought up Friday To give the Hill
toppers a practice game. as they have no
game scheduled for Saturday.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Eastern is practicing hard for the battle
with Business Friday, and they Will go
into the fray confident of coming out
with the long end OF the score.
Business will be minus the services Of
Capt Richards and Wilson when they
meet Eastern on Friday az the American
League Park. as these men have become
members OF the flunkers brigade.
Central is hard az work perfectine a
play that viii break up the interference
Tech gives its runners.
Eastern viii again put a basketball
team ia the field this season. but il viii
be very Hight one. The Old men who
have returned are McCaffery Roberts.
Weaver. ana Parker. The center posi-
ton is going 20 be a hard one 10 I'LL, as
Chase is the only one available at
present.
II seems that Central and Tech VIII
appear on the field with the same teams
they started the season with a few
new men VIII be seen in the lineup. but
the majority Of the PLAYERS viii be the
same as al the first Of the season.
Tew viii Doe back in the lineup when
Tech meets Central on November T. This
will be great help 20 the Blacksmiths.
as he Is the best punter iu the high
schools, and II his team is in danger he
can put his foot against the oval and
send IL out or the danger zone.
Business viii have fine basketball
team on the floor this year with Scott,
Dodge. and RathbCne I'm their regular
positions, and large squad from which
10 pick the remainder of the team.
Western viii be contenders in the
championship basketball games this
year. They have a big squad out. and
Mr.. Bristow who is coaching them,
knows the game from start 10 fnish
Eddie Naughton will play with the
Southern Railway basketball team. This
viii be the first season the former Bust
ness High School star has entered into
this sport.
Farmer. the former Technical High
School star quarter hack, played great
game for George Washington Saturday
against the Richmond College team.
From the outlook at Eastern, il seems
that they viii not lose a single player
when the advisory marks come out
Gin, Of Tech, is showing plenty Of
speed this season in carrying the ball
and is tackling hard at every chance.
Zappone appears to be one OF the best
guards in the high schools He is In
every play and tackles hard, seldom los
ms a tackle.
The crowd which attended the horse
show will be nothing compared with the
crowd that will surge to the ball park on
November !, when Tech meets Central
TO decide the championship Of the high
schools.
If Rathbone makes the baseball team
next season and wins his letter he will
tie the record set by Davis and Scott OF
winning their letter in all branches of
sport AT Enthusiastically, basketball,
football. and track.
