Pass Christian, Miss. Dec. S.-Presi-
dent Wilson will be fifty-seven years old
tomorrow. He will celebrate his birthday
quietly. Not an inklng OF the plans his
wife and daughters have made for the
event have leaked out.
The President says he will go TO church
in the morning and take his first sail on
the Gulf Of Mexico on the revenue cutter
Winona in the afternoon. but this is en-
tirely dependent on the weather.
The President went through a large
batch Of mail today and a number Of
reports from his Cabinet officers. Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo is keeping
him informed OF every move made by
the committee which has in charge the
organization of the regional reserve banks

DEPOSITS OF RADIUM
YIELDING ORE REPORTED
AT MAUCH CHUNK, PA

Philadelphia. Dec. 27.-An excited stir
was caused yesterday in the vicinity of
Mauch Chunk, when DR.. Howard A.
Kelly, of Johns Hopkins University, Bal
timore and DIR. Edgar Wherry. of the
United States National Museum, Wash
ington. announced the discovery of a con-
siderable deposit of CarnOtite, the radium-
yielding ore, on the lands of one of the
big coal mining companies. The extent,
Importance, and value and even the gen.
eral significance of the find is still a
matter of doubt.
Similar deposits have been announced
in a hundred different regions here and
abroad. and frequently have proved of
no commercial or practical value. Fur
ther Investigations will be made about
MaUch Chunk.
Carnotite is the crudest ore embracing
uranium. Uranium in turn yields pitch
blendes Pitchblende refined to the utmost
yields hadium salts, and radium salts
yield refined radium.
Value of Find in Doubt.
Many tons of pitchblende are required
to yield even a trace of radium. DIR. Kelly
is the cancer expert who recently re-
ported almost miraculous cures of super
ficial cancer by means off radium rays.
He is associated with Alfred du Pont,
the powder magnate, in seeking to estab-
lish a great national radium producing
system from American ores. DR.. Wherry
formerly was a member OF the faculty
of Lehgh University. He has known of
the caTnOtite deposits from his earlier
researches among the ores found in the
PENNSYLVANIA mining regions DR.. Kelly
says it would be a mistake to attribute
any Importance to the reports of the
Mauch Chunk carnotite deposits until fur
ther investigation has shown whether
the deposits are wide enough to warrant
mining and whether scientific tests will
show urapium and its allied substances
in quantities sufficient to warrant the
tremendous expense Of their extraction.

received as convincing evidence that
considerable number will decide TO re-
main outside of the reserve system, and,
according to the provisions of the law,
reIinquish their privilege of doing re-
serve business at the end of the thirty
DAYS notice which will be forwarded on
February . to banks which have not
formally applied for admission. 1t is
looked upon as merely a wholesome in
clinatiOn on the part OF the banks to
adopt a practical and business-hke attt-
tude toward a measure which involves
such tremendous pOtentialities for them.
The organization committee, which con-
sists of Secretary MCAdoO and-Secretary
of Agriculture Houston, made public yes
terday a resolution adopted by it to put
into effect the provision of the new law
which requires that all national banks
be informed of tie enactment of the
measure and of the demand that they
sionify their acceptance of il within sixty
days at the peril of losing their reserve
privileges.
This was the resolution:
That every national bank shall sub
nit to its board of directors alternative
resolutions accepting or rejecting the pro-
visions of the Federal reserve act. and
shall file with this committee within the
sixty days prescribed by said act the
resolution adopted by said board as the
method OF signifying the intention of said
bank in the premises. All other banks

Result of Treatment at DR.. Kelly's
Sanatorium in Baltimore May
Be Ascertained Today.
y. eiaI to The washington Herald.

81. eiaI to The Washington Herald
Baltimore. Md, Dec 27.-Another ap'
plicatiOn of radium today was made tC
the cancer-infected shoulders and back
of Representative Robert Gum Bremner
of New Jersey, who has been patient
at the private sanatorium of DR.. Howard
A. Kelly since Christmas Day. Dr.
Kelly himself inserted the eleven redium-
filled tubes, valued at more than S1Oo, ,OOO,
in Mr.. Bremners shoulders at the first
operation on Christmas Day and his as
sistant, Dr. Robert J. Lewis, performed
the operation today.
DR.. Kelly is out of town and will not
return until tomorrow, when the real
result of the operation. in which scientists
are so much interested, probably will be
noted. For, if the radioactive therapeu-
tic method of treatment, of which Or.
Kelly is sponsor, is successful, the dis
integration of the Generous cells Will
begin today.
Is Resting Easily.
Mr.. Bremner is reported tonight 10
lie resting comfortably.
In repeating the CI-ration today the
tubes were placed "On'' and not in Mr..
Bremner's shoulder The same radium in
the same tubes was used today as on
Christmas Day, but the distinctive differ
ence between what was done in the first
operation and the operation of today was
that in the Christmas Day operation the
eleven tubes were imbedded, or implanted,
in the cancer on Mr.. Brcmner's shoulder,
while todays operation consisted of the
use externally of the tubes containing the
radium.
1t was learned today that about so
milligramS of radium were used i'll the
first operation. There are 1.O0o milligrams
in gram. and gram is worth Slj6OOO.

Secretary Bryan spent the day in

late tonight. II was not known whe
ther he had received further instruc-
tions from President Wilson regard
ing his propositions TO the legislature.
In his absence the original plan to
permit no further DELAY was carried
out, and when the senate adjourned
tonight the Webb bill which stands
on the file as the accepted substitute

Senator Thompson declared to-
night that the bill provided for the

extent IL is the most rigid and com
promising measure that has been

MED that the wording OF the act or

Congress to Lose

Government Printer Is Ordered to
Stop Use of Costly Material
for Lawmakers.

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-Members
Of Congress will draw no more costly
embossed stationery at the expense of
the Government. Hereafter they will
get along with plain, every day print
ed letterheads and envelopes.
The Joint Committee on Printing
discovered that the Government Print
ing Office last year turned out H.
900, 900 embossed pieces of stationery
at an extra cost of $4,000. An order
has been issued to the Government
Printer to stop this extravaganza.
On the Senate side Of Congress this
economy reform is resented, but 1t
goes just the same. If Senators want
stationery de luxe they must foot the
bills out of their private purse.
