NEW RAO|UM FIND
IN INDIAN MINE
Promised Addition to the Worlds
Supply of Precious Mineral

CALCUTTA, India. July An view
of the limited resources Of the
worlds supply of radium, Importance
is attached here to the fact that
mining for pitchblende has been sue
cessfully carried out during the past
months in Behar. This pitchblende,
which has been discovered in some
old mica mines in the Gayar dis
trict, possesses the highest radio
activity of any in the world. The
nodules, when analNZed. give 1899

on the reissues of which Madame
Curie was allowed to experiment by
the Austrian government
The geological survey of India con-
sidered the find sufficiently impor-
tant to send member of its staff
to make special inquiries. In a re-
port recently published it says that
pitchblende occurs in pegmatite
rising 200 feet above the alluvium,
and having a maximum width of
forty yards and a minimum length
of $50 yards. The uranium ochre
on the surface gave a clue to the
existence of pitchblende, and when
mining began pure nodules of that
substance, the largest weighing 361
pounds, were discovered In all, so
far as can be ascertained, about half
a ton has been raised. The geolOgi-
cal survey inquirer says there is no

DROBABLY the most con-
fusing problem every auto
mobile buyer faces is the
wholesale manner in which many
automobile dealers seem to will
nsly cut prices.
In fact this evil has grown so
bad of late that some explanation
is necessary.
In the automobile business, the
fault does not lay entirely with
the dealer. 1t can be traced,
directly, to the manufacturer. And
here is how it is worked out:
Many manufacturers place
price on their car which is
anywhere from 209o to 309o above
its intrinsic value. Thus they
figure they can give the dealer q
high theoretical discount (Which
he cannot earn) as well as high
price (Which he cannot GET
SO that he (the dealer) can Jungle
the price around to his hearts
content, and, by offering his
product at an apparently cut price
can deceive the public into believ-
ing they are saving some money.
Or else they leave the price
alone and throw in an extra tire
or two all of which amounts to
the same thing.
This is a notorious snare and
one of the Oldest receptions
known to business.
For the advertised price wos
inflated from the start.
Right down in his heart the
manufacturer knows that in order
to meet competition the dealer
must cut the advertised price.
Thus the manufacturer thinks

Concerning the Intrinsic Price of the Overland
and the Inflated Price of Some Other Cars

The fact that the Overland
price is maintained in spite of
pretty keen competition is
pretty good evidence of the
stability of our dealers and the
faith the public have in the Over.
land car itself.
Even the cut prices of other
manufacturers are usually abc"e
our staple prices.
We have but one logical in
ducement to Offer-the car itself
at the advertised price-no more
no less.
The fact that we are shipping
over 5000 cars a month-the fact
that we are doing more business
than any of those offering inflated
car values-the fact that we do
more business in one month than
some manufacturers do in twelve
mcnths-proves that our policy
must be fundamentally correct,
and that the policy of some of
the others must be fundament-
ally incorrect.
Careful comparison with other
cars will show that a car of the
Overland quality and mechan.
icai efficiency offers much greater
intrinsic value for less money
than any other similar car in the
world.
We say again-beware Of the
dealer who approaches you with
a cut from his price. He is
endeavoring to deceive you into
thinking you are saving money.
We want you to become &C.
quainted with the Overland.
Come in and see us. Thorough
demonstration any time-any
place.

Would Avoid Glaciers.

The government bulletin comedies with
the report made by Prof. Martin to the
society's research committee chairman,
TO the effect that the new route, by use
of tunnel about two miles long. will
avoid the glaciers and yield low grades
for both in and out bound traffic, and
that the distance from tidewater to the
Matanuska coal field will be reduced by
it to about 1:s6 miles. with only one ad-
verse grade and that a low one.
Prof. Martin quotes from his report as
follows;
We feel certain that. including the
cost of the long tunnel railway only
eleven or twelve miles long and prac-
tically at sea level could have been built
from Passage canal to Turnagain arm
for much less than the S5.000,000 used in
the construction of the sixty-five miles of
the Alaskan Northern railway from
Seward to Turnagain arm. This would
have resulted In a marked saving of
grades. saving of distance and an elm
ination of nearly all of the glacier com
plicationS which still threaten the Alaska
Northern railway. If the government
does purchase and extend this railway it
canal terminal, as could possibly be done
with the shortest route and the longest
necessary tunnel for less than S2,oOOO0O.
Harbor Is a Good One.
The harbor In Passage canal was
shown by soundings made by us in 1910
to be quite as good for ocean steamships
as Resurrection bay. upon which Seward
Is located. Practically no icebergs float
into Passage canal or Prince William
sound from Port Wells. The possible dis
advantage in this respect could never be
as great that which will come to Sew

of Resurrection bay on the western side,
