ICELAND PLEADS FOR
AMERICAN PRODUCE
Grain Needed, Declares Commits
sion Sent to Pave Way for
Comemrcial Exchange.
Bv CARLTON TEN EYCK.

NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-New Workers
who are accustomed to speak OF New
Jersey as Darkest Siberia" and who
show q joyous contempt for any place
t,.at is more than a mile from Broad
way and Forty-second street were given
q new thrill recently when the steamer
IIe:mod came into port from Iceland.
Iceland? Yea, verify. OF course,
there were many who pretended to
l;now all about Iceland and there
were few who really tdid know.
But the majority of those who took any
interest in the Hermod were eager to
know what kind of stuff a boat from
Iceland would bring, and nearly every
on showed a keen curiosity in seeing
a real, live Icelander off his heath, or,
rather, his native ice foe.
Olaful johnson and Swein Rjorns-
son We're the representatives from the
northern island who appeared on Broad
way to give the skeptical Gothamites a
lesson in ethnology. Visions OF two
fur-clad men dressed in polar bear skin
with their faces freely anointed in
whale oil, were rudely dispeiled when
the two Icelanders hove into view.
Two gentlemen attired in correct dress
for the afternoon promenade. with
. frock coats, Immediately creased gray
trousers, patent leather shoes. and spot
less top hats, We're revealed to the as
tonished gaze of lower Broadway.
Ii was a sad blow to the curiosity
seekers.
Further investigation showed that the
two visitors spoke very well, indeed,
and that they were good business men.
They were as polite as two Partisan
boulevardiers. and were only too glad to
reveal their mission to this country.
The government of Iceland, it appear
ed. is anxious to build up a good trade
with the United States. Since the war
started the islanders have had a hard
time Of IL, since their commerce with
Germany, Russia, apd England has been
broken off on account of the war. Ice
land needs grain, but, unfortunately. the
other countries need II as well-or even
worse-so the parliament of Iceland de-
termined to turn to America for help.
The trip of the Hermod resulted.
In return for grain. the 1celanders are
prepared to give wool and salt fish in
return. Commerce should be easy. for IT
is but a two-day's journey by steamer
10 Reykjavik, the chief city. The only
difficulty in the way at the present
time Is the lack of suitable bottoms III
which to transport for exchange the
products of Iceland and this country.
The Northerners solved the problem
in this instance by chartering the Her
mod in Bergen, Norway. The probabil-
tiles are that the little steamer will
continue to make trips back and forth
between New York and Reykjavik until
the icebergs get too big in the Northern
latitudes.

EUROPEAN SPAS
Artificial Radium Baths to
plant Cure" Received
Abroad.
KEEP MONEY AT HOME
Surg. Gen. Rupert Blue Suggests Use
for Rare Element as Substitute for
Resorts Closed by War.
KEEP MONEY AT HOME

Radium rays, emanating through the
medium OF ordinary American spring
water. may take the place Of the famous
European Spas which have been closed
to patients in this country by the war
in Europe.
This opinion. expressed yesterday by
Surgeon General Rupert Blue. head Of the
United States Public Health Service, sug-
gests an unexpected use for the rare ele-
ment whose curative properties in the
treatment of cancer were agitated in
the House and Senate last winter.
Commenting on the closing of the Ger
man and other spas. upon which so many
Americans feel themselves absolutely de-
pendent. DIR. Blue said:
No Need for UneasIness.
There is really no occasion for uneasi-
ness about the closing OF the baths
abroad. In the first place, we have springs
in this country that possess amazing
curative properties. In the case of pa
tients suffering from ailments that re-
sp, nd to treatment by radium, 1t will
be simple matter to charge pure water
with radium and use II for drinking, in
haling, and bathing purposes"
The spas to which Dr. Blue has refer
ence and upon which persons OF means
in this country have been relying, are
at Carlsbad, Baden-Baden. Nauheim,
Gastein, Wiesbaden. and Pistyan. They
are very popular with wealthy American
victims of rheumatism and gout
The fame of these springs is centuries
old, but II is of comparatively recent
date that their curative properties have
been found TO depend upon radium emana-
tions. The discovery of radium by Nine
Curie and the subsequent demonstration
of its wonderful physical properties gave
rise to the theory that what had been
known as the spirit of the springs"
substance as its origin. Careful investi-
CATION changed this theory into a fact.
and led to the perfection of mechanism
whereby one-billionth of a miIligram of
radium emanation can be recognized and
measured.
Baths Already in Vogue.
Because of these facts, it is pointed out
here by government scientists, and in
view Of the situation in Europe. it is
practically certain that artificial radium
baths in the United States will suppIant
the European Spas Institutions already
have been established in some American
cities where the European Spa treatment
may be taken by the use of prepared
radium earth packs. etc and, because Of
the simplicity of administration physi-
clans are prescribing them IN the home.
A careful estimate of the annual ex-
penditures by American patients who
journey to the European Spas is placed
