birthday. Apparently in excellent
health, Mr.. Winslow, who lives at the
home of William A. Adams at 1011
NJ. street northwest, said today that
he is confident that he will live an
other year and round out a full cen
fury of existence.
A we'll built, white beared man,
Mr.. Winslow still talks with a deep,
booming voice and shows interest in
ali that goes on around him. He is
rather deaf, but otherwise his facul-
ties seem unimpaired.
Il know that | h4ve already lived
longer than people do usually. but /
hope to live at least one more year,
so that | can be 100 years old" said
Mr.. Winslow, this morning. II am
being very well taken care of. and
see no reason why | should not go on
living"
Mr. Winslow was born at Barnard

Managers Of State Corn Show VIII
Discontinue Annual Event

! The first New England exposition

tober &c, next, in the Kennedy Are
ma in Windsor. no building in Yer
mont being better adapted to the pur-
pose.
The committee, which directed the
state corn show, has felt for long
time that far more could be accom-
plished throughout Vermont to en-
courage vocational training among
boys and girls especially, by the hold
ng of an exposition OF this character,
than the most successful corn show
could possible do, even if II was con-
Quoted for boys and girls entirely.
The plan of exhibiting to be follow
ed in connection with the juvenile ex
position will be to permit any boy or
girl in the state, 10 years of age and
under. to exhibit individually any
thing grown, raised or made by them
during the year 1914. All Institutions,
including colleges. academies, public
schools, private institutions and or
CARNATIONS OF young people will be
encouraged to exhibit also as institu-
tons, there being no age limit.
Exhibits would include stock. poul
try. fruit, flowers. vegetables, corn,
grains. manual training products,
sewing. cooking. cement work. etc,
attractive prizes being arranged for
under each class for individuals.
schools and institutions.
The committee of management has
already been assured of the co-opera-
ton of the extension department OF
the State College of Agriculture. the
state commissioner of agriculture
and various school officials of the
state.
Many interesting features are be-
ing worked out to be announced lat
er. some features being placed en-
tirely in the hands OF boys and girls
for them to direct.
An attractive booklet covering the
details and giving the various class
prizes will be generally distributed in

AMERICANS ARE WAsTEFUL
Also Have Failed to Realize lmpor-
lance of Radium Cure

lance of Radium Cure
Washington, March 25.-How the
American people failed to recognize
the importance of radium as a cure
for cancer until the European coun
tries had secured virtually all OF the
present available supply, is graphical
ly told in the annual report of Direc,
tor Joseph A. Holmes, OF the federal
bureau of mines, just made public
The report tells in detail of the bur
eau's unsuccessful efforts to obtain
a quantity of radium sufficient to sur
ply the 20 or more hospitals of the
( public health service and serve. in
part, to meet the needs of the various
cancer hospitals of the country"
1t is estimated by Director Holmes
that "in the United States $4,000
persons die each year from cancer. =
Explaining that radium is Considered
the most promising cure for certain
types of cancer, the director says the
most SERIOUS barrier to progress in
demonstrating this is the scarcity of
radium The progress attracted unu
sual interest. as Congress is prepar-
ing to enact legislation to develop
and conserve the country's radium re
sources.
There probably is not more than
80 grams of radium now available for
use in such treatment in all coun-
tries the report says: OF Ibis
amount there probably is not more
than two grams of radium bromide
in the United States in the hands of
a few surgeons, Probably Is grams
Of radium bromide was produced
during 1912; and OF this Is grams
nearly 11.5 grams was extracted in
various European countries from
ores shipped to them from the Unit
ed States mainly from Colorado and
Utah.
Referring to the bureaus activities
in preventing unnecessary waste of
the nations mineral resources. Dir
ector Holmes says that last year
there was saved in Oklahoma alone
$lo,O00.0O0 worth of natural gas.
The waste of this product in all the !
fields of their country is S500O0.0OO |
"A few more years of further delay |
and this valuable source of national |
wealth will have been wasted-a per-
loss" the report adds.
The director estimates the waste |
of coal to be 250,OOO.O0O tons annual
w. He expresses the opinion that an
costing probably $780, |
coo would result in a saving Of fifty |
million tons yearly

Never did the Flatbush school have a

and once, when q lot Of pupils got n

which was carried beyond reasonable

the master Of the school by pleading
for clemency for them so vigorously
and so logically that both the often
