KEEP PACE WITH TIMES
Advance of South Manifested Nowhere Greater Than
Here.

Savannahs industries and institutions are daily
adding the progressive gethebusiness spirit to thel
enyable reputation for clean, honest and conserVa-
uce business methods. and no one of her lnstitu-
lions proves this to greater extent than her ne"
company, the Commercial Life Insurance and CAS-
ualty Company
Tie methods adopted in the organizations of this
company have been commended by fnanclers ana
insurance men the country over Unlike some other
companies which have been organized in the last
several years, it launched without cent OF com
mission to stock salesmen in other words 1t IS just
company of the substantial and trustworthy
business of Savannah and the Southeast, VINO,
by their records, have proven themselves worthy Oh
any trust put in them They have seen the necessity
for a Southern insurance company, organized along
the right lines and after careful study of the sue
cesses and mistakes of insurance companies for the
last fifty sixty years, the Commercial Life OF Sa-
vannah came into existence. Ways and means were
figured to give the most benefit to the pocyhoider
and the company through avoidance of such mistakes
and by adhering to the successful methods, accom-
plished this.
Every day people are learning that after ALL the
old adage Honesty is the best policy is absolutely
true, and it is being lived up to more and more by
individuals The adage has always been recognized
by numbers of who started out to work the most
good for the most people The methods and the bus
mess policy of the Commercial Life open to the
most critical inspection of federal state officers
and citizens of the South An officer of the company
few days ago stated thta the companys object was
to go after the safe life insurance business OF th2
South and not to write "wildire" insurance which
only lasts year and then lapses causing loss
to both the individual and the company He stated
that when pocyholder is entered on their BOOKS It
is their object keep his there until death OF
maturity of the policy He recited instances showing
that in the life insurance business it is better to go
slow than to GO out with the idea of getting the bust
ness regardless of cost to the company or the policy
holder.
"On the whole believe the Commercial Life is a
good clean, straight, conservative and yet wide
awake institution which will give much in insur-
ance returns the premiums warrant and as far as
learn from study of the principles of life 1nsur
ance, this is much any company can do, regard
less of any attractively worded and decorated poll
cies that may be presented to the insuring public,
he said.

arrangements have been completed to

however, and it is doubtless true that
interest in the event will be lessened
for that reason The shoot will likely
be pulled off in spite of these adverse
conditions.

BARLEY THRESHED BY MOTOR
Ohio Farmer Breaks Record for Time
When He Adopts Electrical Meth
cd for Quick Work.

William Stroop, who has farm In
the Miami valley. near Dayton. o..
had crop of barley that he wanted
threshed last fall, so he sent for the
owner of the local threshing outfit TO
do the work. He came with his 3d.
inch separator and his big steam trac-
ton engine and proceeded to set up
for business.
Mr. Stroop had been using 15-
horsepower electric motor about his
farm buildings for cutting and
grinding feed, saving wood, etc., shift
Ing 1t to various positions, as desired,
and making connections with little
trouble. He suggested to the owner
or the thresher that the motor be used
IN place OF his engine, to which the
latter agreed, though his engineer
doubted the ability of the small motor
to run the separator at full capacity.
The machine was set. however, and
the belt adjusted, and when the pow
er was turned on its strength was
speedily demonstrated by the rapidity
with which the sheaves disappeared
and the grain poured out Hour after
hour the work proceeded without
stopping, and when the job was fin
ished it was found that in less than
IL hours more than 100 bushels of
grain had been threshed, an average
of $50 bushels an hour.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has not,
w according to the United States
geological survey, world monopoly
In the production of radium, as was
stated in a consular report from w. L.
Loownie of Carlsbad. This report re-
corded the purchase of the only two
mines under private ownership pro-
ducing the ores from which radium
is made. The purchase price was
stated to be 100000, and to complete
the world monopoly in radium, by the
Austrian government.
The geological survey announces
that this monopoly is a myth 1t is
true that the Austrian mines and the
Austrian government heretofore have
furnished the bulk of the radium salts
existing in the world, but at present
radium is being manufactured in three
other countries, including the United
States.
Sweden is producing radium from
kolm, the English are producing it from
mines in Wales, and it is extracted
also from ores brought from the
United States. There is a large de-
post of radium producing ore in west
ern Colorado, and it is reported that
some is being produced in Australia.
The Colorado deposits produce
uranium and vanadium, the latter an

Ancient Mummy for National Museum

n UARTERS for the famous African
" collection of Theodore Roosevelt
are to be provided in the National mu-
scum at Washington, and work is pro-
ceeding at lively rate. The National
museum, together with the Smith
sonian institution, will, in a few years,
contain the most interesting collection
In the world, not excepting that of the
famous British museum in London.
Side by side with the regular prog
ress in this field comes the report of
an ancient mummy found in a newly
opened tomb at Abydos in Egypt; and
no sooner had the telegraph news
reached Washington than a syndicate
was formed to bring it on for exhibit
ton in this country, reminding US of
the day when Barnum alone was ready
to expend money and effort to secure
such curiosities, and discovered "the
petrified giant man." Now there is
an association of scientists and ex-
perts organized to secure these val
liable ancient relics for the museum
at Washington and those of other
large American cities.
The latest mummy is from tomb
of the Twelfth Dynasty, which reach
es back to the time of Shishak, who

USE FOR ELECTRIC TRUCKS
Boston Terminal Railroad Company
Employs Electricity for Handling
Baggage and Freight.

Small electric trucks are used for
the South station, Boston. for handl-
ling both freight and baggage.
The adoption of the electric truck
has been brought about by the huge
volume of material handled at this
railway terminal When the freight
was handled by hand, it was almost
impossible to properly take care of it.
These trucks are built low to the
ground, and have a wheel base of 50
inches. A platform is provided on
which the operator may stand when
the truck is in service. The battery
box is located directly under the plat
form, but in such position as will
not interfere with the wheels In max
ing the sharp turns to which. the truck
is subjected.
For this class of work the cleo
trio vehicle has been found ideal I'm
every respect. The simple and easy
control, the reliability, the safety and
lack of any disagreeable odors or
noise, are the reasons why 1t has been
adopted in Boston.

Radium Quest Interesting the Scientists

essential in making some of the new
high-grade steel alloys. 1t is mined
for the vanadium, but the ore carries
two or. three per cent. of uranium.
Some idea can be had of the micro
scopic trace of radium in the original
ore from the fact that ten tons of the
uranium has to be handled to get
between 20 or 80 milligrams of radi-
UNI.
There are no very exact statistics
Of radium available, but the whole
quantity in the world, according to
the geological survey, is probably not
over two or three ounces. AS to the
value, it is largely nominal like that
Of the biggest diamonds. 1t is worth
whatever the holders can get for it.
Sir William Ramsey, the head Of the
English corporation producing radi-
UNI, said about a year ago that it was
worth G30,000,000 sterling a pound. In
his last report on the subject he had
knocked off 910,000,000 sterling on
this estimate, but a little variation
like that was not thought to matter
when there was no. appreciate frac-
ton of a pound of the stuff in ex-
istence.
What is more to the purpose in
fixing the value is the fact that there
are now several radium banks in the
world where tubes containing a micro
scopic speck of radium are stored and
rented out to physicians at $40 day.
