Washington March I-How the Amer
lean people failed to recognize the I'M
portance OF radium as cure for cancer
until the European countries had secured
practically all Of the present available
supply is told IN the annual report OF
Director Joseph A Holmes of the federal
Bureau OF Mines. made public tonight.
The report tells in detail of the bureau $
unsuccessful efforts TO obtain quantity
Of radium sufficient TO supply the twenty
or more hospitals OF the Public Health
Service.
IL is estimated by Director Holmes that
I'm the United States 5000 persons die
each year from cancer. Explaining that
radium is considered the most promising
cure for certain types OF cancer, the di-
rector says the most serious barrier to
progress in demonstrating this is the
scarcity OF radum. The report attracted
unusual interest, as Congress is preparing
10 enact legislation to develop and con
serve the country's radium resources.

through the bureaus activities there was
saved in Oklahoma alone 100000 worth
Of natural gas. In all the fields of the
country the waste OF this product
reaches a total of sj0.o0oOOo annually.
The director estimates the unnecessary
waste OF coal to be 100000 tons an

an investigation, costing probably $4,000,
would result in saving OF fifty million
tons yearly.
