RADIUM MOSTLY EXHAUSTED.
New Cancer Cure Has Been Greatly
Crippled by Oversight.

Washington, March 22.-How the
American people failed to recognize
the Importance of radium as cancer
cure until European countries had op-
tained virtually all of the present
available supply, is graphically tola
in the annual report of Joseph A.
Holmes, director of the Federal Bu-
reau of Mines, made public tonight
The report tells in detail of the Du-
roau,s unsuccessful efforts to obtain
a quantity of raium sufficient to sup
rlv the 20 or more hospitals OF the
public health service and serve, IN
mart. to meet the needs of various can
Ger hospitals of the country.
director Holmes estimates that In
tSe United States 10000 persons die
each year from cancer" Explaining
that radium is considered the most
promising cure for certain types @
cancer, the director says the most Sc
rious barrier to progress in demon
s4rating this is the scarcity of radium
The report attraced unusual interest

SAND DREDGING DELAYED
By REASON OF DREDGE.
Guaranteed Dredging Machine is Rest
ing on Bottom of Mud Creek
Awaiting Enlargement.

The Fairbanks sand dredge built for
tue purpose of dredging Mud creek has
not begun active operations. It is
resting on the bed of the stream await
Ing the attachment of another section
The metallic box-like instrument is
about twelve feet wide, forty-eight
long and four or more feet deep. The
boiler is situated in one end of the
pex while the dredging machinery is
located on the other. The machinery
viii be propelled by steam.
1t is understood that by reason OF
the shallow depth of the stream and
the weight of the equipment, one end
rested on the creek bed when dredging
was undertaken. The stream was
deepened to some extent by means of
dam made of sacks and trash on the
crossing below the bridge on Edney-
vile road
that the machinist representing the
factory making the machine, who has
been here assembling the dredge, has
ordered another section, which will
make the box ffty-six feet long. Mr..
Patton is confident that with this adj
dition the dredge will work to perfec-
ton. When this arrives it will be at
tached and the boiler will be placed in
the end, making it further from the
dredging devices ut the other end and
thereby giving more balance to the
machine. Mr.. Patton feels that as
soon as the equipment arrives dredg-
ing will be next thing in order.
While there has been some unfayor-
able comment on the dredge, it has not
been given thorough trial and those
mostly interested in the road building
Eiovenent and whoz have studied the
machine closely believe that it viii
give perfect satisfaction when thor
odghly tested.
Should the dredge prove useless, the
county is on the safe side since the
machine was purchased with the un-
derstanding that in case it failed to
give satisfaction there would be no
cost to the county.

the public health. but would add at

yearly crops of the state, furnish
good homes for thousands, and help

islation to develop and conserve the
country's radium resources.
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 this
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 11.5 grams was ex-
tracted in various European countries
from ores shipped to them from the
United States.
Radium Bearing Ores.
During 1913 there was total pro
duction OF 2,149 tons of radium-bear-
ing ores in the United States, of which
more than so per cent of the radium
content was shipped abroad.
Meanwhile, American hospitals are
Yainly endeavoring to purchase. for
their own use some small part of this
radium, even at such prices at $780,
600 to 100000 per gram, or $780,
600 to $SOO.O0O for the five grams of
radium that large hospital should
have or have access to for special
cases.

The ladies will be grateful for any

daily and will continue through Fri
day night.
The congregations are unusually
large and at the evening services tho
church. building is comfortably filled.
On Sunday night, when services were
suspended at most of the churches in
the city, the spacious auditorium Of
the church would not accommodate
the large number of people who were
anxious to hear DR.. Waller, who is
considered one Of the ablest Baptist
ministers of the State. The three
Sunday school rooms on the north end
Of the building were taxed to their ca
pacity and there were a number of
persons who could not be seated.
There have been several additions
to the church as result of the
meeting and the effects have been
more marked this week than they
were last and it is believed that ber
fore the meeting closes there will be
evidences of an UNUSUAL spiritual
awakening in the city.
The pastor, Rev. K W. Cawthon, ex-
presses himself as highly pleased
with the. interest manifested.

and the "Hendersonville spirit is
ooing to be manifest at that meeting.
The meetings of the club are con-
SANITY increasing in interest and in
attendance. The business men of the
city are taking more personal in
terest in the clubs affairs. As di-
rect result of that interest the future
of Hendersonville already looks vasL-

concrete reality.
The events of the past few weeks
prove tha the only way to build a

is needless to add that the best, al

PLAN OF eHURCH INSURANCE.
Methodist Churches Of State WIN Co
Operate in Property Insurance.
(N. G. Christian Advocate.l )

IN. y. Cnr1St1an AQVOcate.l
The Methodist Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company is now ready to receive
applications for insurance on all kinds
or church property and on the libraries
and personal effects of the preachers.
The board of directors met at States
villes Tuesday, March 10th, and per-
fected the organization of the com
l'ny by adopting bylaws and electing
the officers. This company is what
the name indicates, a church mutual
company. It is the church insuring
its own property The rates in towns
are to be the same as those prescribed
by the Southeastern Underwriters
Association; in the country the rates
will be for a three years policy on
frame building, shingle roof, $3.50 on
the hundred dollars worth of proper
ty; on frame building, metal roof,
$1.30 per hundred; on brick building,
metal roof, the rate is $100 per hum
died. The country rates are slightly
lower than the regular rates. At the
expiration of the policy, dividends OF
any amount remaining in the treasury
after all losses have been met. will be
returned to the policyhoIders, after a
conservative provision has been made
to build up reserve surplus.
The bylaws of the company limit
the risks to property belonging to the
two Methodist conferences in North
Carolina, and to that of the preachers
in having their effects insured in this
company is that the insurance does
not lapse in transit from one appoint
ment to another, nor does it lapse be-
cause of removal from one town to an
other, but remains in force until the
regular expiration of the policy.
Mr.. Webb, the secretary and treas
u-er, reported after adjournment Of
the board of directors. that requests
for Insurance. on more than $50 s000
worth Of property were turned over To
him at the meeting Tuesday. TIE
company was organized in order that
the church might have protection on.
It's country property, where so little.
insurance is now carried, and in order
that we might save in the towns and
in the country on the insurance al
ready carried, everything except the
actual loss on property after the ex-
penses Of operationsis met. The direc1
tors are guarding the expense ac-
count as closely as possible, and-it is
expected that the company will be able
eventually to run with little or no ex-
pense except for the pay Of one man In
the home Office For the first few
months it will be necessary to keep
the general agent in the field, but this
position is not considered to be more
than temporary expedient
The compauny has very liberal
charter, and should the general con-
ference desire an already well-matur-
ed plan, it could do a great deal worse
than to come ever and adopt ours for
its own.
