TRENTON PAPERS

Return to TWo-Cent Basis After
Failure of century-0Id True
American.

TRENTON. N. J.. Jan 5-FolEoing the
attempt to successfully establish the
newspapers of Trenton upon one-cent
basis. the Evening Times and the State
Gazette. today returned to 2 cents. The
reduction in price was made some four
teen months ago when the Daily True
American, which had been the recog-
nized organ of the Democracy of the
Slate. and which was moro than 100
years old. changed from the morning to
the afternoon field and reduced the price
to a penny.
The Times and State-Gazette. fol-
lowed in the reduction, as a matter or
business policy. and In six months the
True American went into bankruptcy,
with, according to the declaration OF
William II. Gutelius, the publisher, Ia
bilities Of So. 200. All the assets were
subsequently disposed OF by the receiver
for $H, 900. and the Times American
went out OF business.
Other newspapers continued the one
cent price until today, when Il was
announced that 1t was not possible TO

SEEKS TO ACQUA|NT
100000 UNMARRIED
Pastor Says Many in New York
May Meet Through Social
Center.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-There are $780,
900 men and women in New York under
thirty five, most OF them under thirty,
who are not married, and so far as ap-
pearances go do not intend to get mar
ried.
Such is the opinion Of the Rev. DIR.
George r. Van de Water, OF st. An
drew's Episcopal Church, Harlem, who
in a sermon advocated social centers, by
the city IL need be, to bring these young
people together.
The rector said there are 80 divorces
day in this country, and he argued
that IL more attention were given to
marriage there would be fewer divorces.
He thought that people after marriage
or before ought to be instructed and en-
couraged in the matter of children, for
he said that children have prevented
many a separation.
The great problem before New York,
said the rector, is this matter OF social
relations under proper conditions Of
young men and young women The
churches provide In part for this social
life, but not adequately. Thousands
who need social life most do not go
near the churches.
DR.. Van de Water said later that it
was his idea to bring young people to-
gether through the church as a COM
mon meeting ground.

SAYS SEA RADIUN
HOPE IS NONSENSE"
Minnesota Professor Declares
Extraction of Mineral Would
Be an Impossible Task.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 5.-"Absolute,
sheer nonsense" This was the COM
ment today of Prof. A. J. Kovarick, of
the University of Minnesota, on the
statement of Prof. Harry Jones, of
Johns Hopkins University, that a mil
lion tons of radium could be found at
the bottom of the sea. Prof. Kovarick,
one of the worlds deepest students OF
the mysteries OF radium and a teacher
in the physics department at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, declared he did
not think his fsllOw-professor meant TO
convey the impression, widely received,
that a million tons or any other large
amount of radium available 1T the
bottom of the sea.
Bring me a pailful Of rock or soil,
or a ton of it, and ask me to extract
the radium from it and you have done
one thing, but ask me to take million
tons of earth or water and take the
radium from it and you have done some
thing else. 1t is nonsense to think of
handling the volume of matter neces-
sary to obtain a million tons of radium. -
To illustrate how nOnsensical" he
thought il, Prof. KOvarick gave the re-
suits of some Investigations.
'Radium," he observed, was obtained
for practically commercial and Iabora-
tory purposes principally from pitch
blende and caTnotite. From a ton OF
pitch blende 1-30Jth of an ounce OF ra-
dium could be obtained, or an amount
as large as a small pea. y ton of car
notite would yield about one-sixth as
much as the pitch blende. The water
Of the sea contains 1000 O00, 900 times less
than pitch blende. Radium, we think, is
IN everything about us, but how to get
it out in sufficiently large quantities is
an unSOlved problem. You must handle
too much matter to get it
Prof KOvarick was skepticaI of the
power OF radium TO cure cancer, the use
or which for that purpose was recently
announced
"Radium will cure some diseases Of
the skim he said. but l cannot see
how il can be used successfully for the
treatment Of cancer. If the cancer could
be followed by radium to its depths, il
might be possible, but it seems to me
that the disease is too deep-seated
There are three different radium rays
TWO Of them. the beta and the alpha,
are specially useful for medical pur-
poses. They have a destructive effect
on tissue, and If rightly applied may be
used to destroy certain diseased tissues
without destroying the normal tissue
The rays consist OF the most minute
particles Of the radIUm thrown out
from il.
"Europe is ahead Of US in the use OF
radiUm for medical purposes. There
seems TO be too much pedantiCisnr IN
American hospitals. The x-rays, which
are very penetrating like the gamma
rays Of radium, are relied on in place
Of radium, which is costlier. But ra-
dium is becoming better appreciated, so
much better that in the past six
months the price per milIigram has

SWISS WOULD MAKE
NATION A HOSPITAL
Suggest Great Red Cross Prof.
eCt in Hope of Saving Coun-
try's independence.

BERNE. Switzerland. Jan. Sin the
near future switzerland will very likely
present to the powers a request that,
in the event of a great European war,
all of Switzerland be constituted into
a Red Cross camp for the care of the
wounded of all the nations involved.
This, Switzerland is now convinced, is
the only way that not only her neutral
ity. but her very existence. could be
preserved.
Although the neutrality of Switzer-
land is guaranteed by the leadiu@ Ue
ers, the Swiss government has recently
become convinced that unless she has
some actual way of insisting on the
respecting Of this neutrality, in a war
between any of the four great powers
surrounding her, this guarantee would
amount to very little. in addition, she
is also convinced that the first step in
any European war would be the pru-
hibition by all the powers involved of
the exports of coal and provisions,
which they would need for their own
armies. AS Switzerland is entirely de-
pendent on the surrounding powers not
only for her coal but for her grain and
practically all her food supply. the cut
ting of Of these imports would reduce
The entire country TO starvation within
a few weeks.
1t is in the hopes Of exaCting = guar
antee from all of the four powers sur
rounding her not to interrupt these i'm
ports in case of war that Switzerland is
considering the project of having the
entire country declared a great inter
national Red Cross camp, and to un-
dertake the care of the wounded OF all
nations in the event of any general
European war. Members OF the Swiss
government who are backing the move
Tnent declare that this would not only
insure for Switzerland the neutrality and
all of the protection that is accorded
hy international agreement to the Red
Cross camps in time of war, but it
would also insure that her industries
would not be ruined by the cuttiu
of the coal supply and her population
reduced to starvation by the stopping of
food imports.
The treaty to be submitted to the
powers will provide that as fast as the
wounded are cured, they will be re-
turned to their respective countries
This, Switzerland is convinced, would
be Of enough Importance to any OF the
powers engaged in a European war 10
make certain that none of them would
violate her neutrality by crossing the
boundary with one OF its armies or In
teTfere with her food supply.
