c. 6. Cam, Reputed
Wealthy, Fights Judgment
in Non Support Case
FRIENDS WILLING TO
PAY SMALL AMOUNT

Charles G. Cam, reputed wealthy resi-
dent of Aliddlctown, who was placed I'M
der an order of $3.50 a week for the
support Of his wife and infant, was again
before City Court today, being unable
to secure the $500 bond required to
guarantee payment of the money TO his
family. He was sentenced to three
months in the workhouse and fined
800. William F. Smalley, counsel for
the defense, noted an appeal.
When the case was called Mr. Smalley
declared it would be impossible for his
client to comply with the courts order
and moved that the weekly payment for
Mrs Cam be reduced TO 81. Mr.. Small
ley declared he had consulted Cams
aunt and she had agreed to help him.
"Your Honor, l doubt whether this
man ever earned $3.50 a year, the
amount fixed by the court in this
case" Mr. Smalley declared. Gle has
no work or means, but out of charity
his aunt is willing to assist him.
However. she has to care for him
and other relatives and it will be im-
possible for her to deduct $3.50 from
her yearly income. l wish to add
that Cams relatives are going to
make an earnest effort to secure him
position.
Il heard that when the case was
tried" Judge Churchman remarked
MI Smalley, the law does not con-
template men living in idleness and
I shall not reduce the order
The court then sentenced the de-
| PENDANT.

unusual ever tried in the City Court

cording to information she has, is
worth $4,000, while Robert T. Cam
an uncle. says the man was left s12.-
600 by his grandfather and had an in
terest in a valuable farm near Kirk
wood. Del. At the hearing in City
Court last week Mrs. Cam testified

has contributed nothing to the sup
port Of their child. She said she re-
ceived assistance from Mrs. Florence

sition with the Congressional Union

SALISBURY WOULD train
YOUNG men FOR RESERVES

Regarding the agitation for a great
er army and navy and the prepared
ness Of the United States for war. SEN
ator Willard Salisbury. of Delaware.
yesterday, in Washington. stated he
favored quadrupling the army and
naval academies at West Point and
Annapolis TO improve the national de-
Tense.
81 am opposed to any frantic spec
tacularism regarding the unprepared-
ness of this country for war, and
think that when the European war
ends there will be much less desire for
armies, and probably for navies. than
now exists" said he today There
will be no country in the world which
will desire to enter into war with the
United States. believe in suffi-
ciently strong force of Federal troops
for ordinary domestic and temporary
foreign purposes, and doubt whether
we have such force now.
Il should believe rather in trained
men, who could be called on as re-
serves, organized within each Con-
gresssional district. the training SUI
pervised by army officers. and l would
favor possibly the quadrupling of our
academies at both West Point and
Annapolis. so that we might have a
reasonable number of men with tech
nical knowledge. military and naval,
who could be called on in an emergen-
cy. Following that suggestion l would
permit the men who stand the highest
In their classes TO serve the Govern
ment from both academies. the other
young men, who had received a good
education, to be subject to call during
useful age.
Il have hoped that someone more
familiar with military matters than ]
would work out some plan of this
character by which we could grad
ually. train a sufficient number oi
young men between the ages of Is and
30 so that they could be depended upon
in case of need, but distinctly prefer
this to be done in the Congressional

RAD|UM PRICE CUT
BY NEW PROCESS
U. S. Mine Bureaus Discov-
cry, Making Cost $4,000
a Gram, TO be Made Public
REPORT SHOWS MEN
AND COAL WERE USED

An announcement made by Joseph
A. Holmes, Director OF the United
States Bureau OF Mines. i'm his an
nual report is Of great importance to
scientists, physicians and sufferers
who are relying upon the curative
properties Of radium. Alfred l. du-
Pont. of Wilmington, Is interested m
the production of radium on an eX-
tensive scale Director Holmes says
that chemists and engineers Of the
bureau have demonstrated that "A pro-
cess they have devised for the eX-
traction of radium from ores can be
successfully used on a large scale and
will prove more efficient than that
used by the largest foreign producers
Of radium
Through this process says Or.
Holmes, 1T is possible that the cost
of radium TO the consumer will be
reduced TO one-third OF the present
price. The process is TO be patented
and dedicated to the public"
DIR. Holmes adds. With radium now
selling at 100000 a grain its re-
duction in price TO $4,000 will result
In many hospitals throughout the
country being able TO purchase a sup
ply. The process devised by the
bureaus chemists has been already
tested with success in the plant OF
the National Radium Institute. which
rs under the supervision of the
mechanical staff of the Bureau of
Mines"
The saving of human life in the
mines, the stopping OF millions Of
dollars worth Of waste of mineral re-
sources Of the country and an in
ventory Of the wastes that are occur
ring were some of the activities of
the bureau during the fiscal year
which ended June 30
Cutting Down Coal Waste.
Referring to coal, DR.. Holmes says
that "a caeful estimate indicates that
in the mining of 6O0,O0O,0OO tons of
coal during the last calendar year
there was blasted or left underground
in unminable condition 100000, 900
tons" He adds that "as a result of
careful preliminary inquiry il is be-
lioved that 200.0O0,OOO tons of this
yearly waste is preventable under ex-
listing economic conditions"
Referring TO other wastes Director
Holmes says: "a preliminary inquiry
as to the coling of coal in beehive
ovens has shown that the total value
of the by-products annually lost. IN
this country through the use of such
ovens amounts to S75.O00,OOO. Al
though the desirability Of developing
such by-product industries has been
recognizod the development has nov
become an actual need.
The bureau has also ascertained
that the annual waste of metals in
brass furnace practice amounts tc
more than S4,500,00O
