Only Two Grams of Healing
Radium In the United States

bring back TO the United States for
their own use some small part OF
this radium, even at such prices as
$4,000 70 $16O, 900 per gram, or
$500. 900 10 $500 900 FOR the five grams
of radium that a large hospital should
have or have access to Cor special
cases.
'The fact that thus far they have
been able to obtain no more than two
grams of this radium is due To the
fact that in Europe National govern
ments. well-endowed national radium
institutes, municipalities (as in Ger
many, radium banks, hospitals, and
speculative agencies are all endeav-
oring to procure and retain supplies
of radium for use in the several Eu-
Topean countries, and the American
people are only now awakening to an
appreciation of its Importance.
The Austrian government has ex-
pended more than 100000 in the pur-
chase and development of radiUm-
bearing ore deposits within its own
territory; the United States, howev-
er, has been giving away it's more ex-
tensive Mountaineering deposits, the
ore of which during the past few
years, has been shipped abroad for
treatment by secret processes TO sup
ply the radium for European de-
mandS
Mr. Holmes describes The work of
the government Tadium laboratory at
Denver, where the bureau is attempt
ing to develop processes for extract
ing the metal from its ores economic
ally.
THE investigation has been delayed
because nearly all Mountaineering
ores mined in this country have for
several years been shipped to various
European countries and there treated
by secret processes not only for their
radium, but also for their vanadium
and uranium content, he says, "A
number of the early shipments of the
ores were treated only for the uran-
ium or vanadium, and the radium res
idues were thrown away as waste pro
duct.
mo detailed information concern
ing the methods of treating these
ores being obtainable, the bureau OF
mines has endeavored 10 develop a
process of its own, which, if success
full, will be made public for general
use. Progress in this work has been
slow, not only because of the uncer
tain factors. but because of the limit
ed available facilities at the bureaus
disposal for such work.

Offers of Fortunes for Small
Fraction of an Ounce of This
Metal Fail to Bring AIDE
quate Supply.

WASHINGTON, d. C, March %
Radium needs of the United States
were represented today in a striking
manner by Joseph A. Holmes. Direct
or Of the Bureau of Mines. in his an
nual report. Europe is monopolizing
the metal, he says. There is a pitt
ful lack OF the healing substance in
American hospitals
1T is estimated that 81 the United
States $4,000 persons die each year
from cancer" says the report. 'Ra-
dunn is considered the most prOmis-
ing cure for certain types of cancer,
and in many cases where surgical OPP
erations are not practicable il is said
70 be the only known cure for this
terrible disease But the serious bar
rier TO progress in demonstrating
these facts is the scarcity Of Tadium. I"
There is probably not more than
30 grams (abOut one ounce) Of "a
dium now available for use in such
treatment in all countries. OF this
amount there is probably not more
than 2 grams of radium bromide in
the United States, in the hands of a
few surgeons. Probably 10 grams ra.
dunn bromide was produced during
1912. and of this 10 grams nearly
11.5 grams was extracted in various
European countries from ores ship
ped TO them from the United States
mainly from Colorado and Utah.
Exports Are Large.
During 1913 there was total
production of 2.140 tons of radium
bearing ores in the United States, of
which about 45 per cent of the ores
and (the exported ores being richer)
a little more than 90 per cent of the
radium content We're shipped abroad.
Because of a new plant now being
erected at Liverpool by an English
corporation controlling 60 claims in
Colorado and Utah. and the larger
purchases of ores by other foreign
corporations. the exports of radium
ores promises to be much larger dur
ing 1914
Meanwhile, the American hospi

1.-The word tribulation is frequently
used in the New Testament. When
Jesus was about TO leave his disciples
He said to them: In this world We
shall have tIibulation.' John in his
Vision on the Isle Of PatmOs saw a

Literally the Greek here means /

did Paul buffet his body2 He did so
that he might bring il under subjec-

his body. The athlete is a man who

by Ralph ConnOr's thrilling story
| The Sky Pilot" He gave a graphic
description of the pilots sacrifice for
the ranchmen and cowboys of Alber-

gave his life for them. In concluding
