GERMANS ADVANTAGE.
By WALTER B. HILTON

workmen' He says: sNot only the Germans teach
ing the world lesson in efficiency but tremendous les
the dangerous lengths to which trades unionis
may go He says that France has failed because the peo
pie "have gone mad over Liberty, Shorter Hours and
Luxury il
He doesn't say why Russia has failed; that might be
inconvenient for his logic. 4
Anyway his logic is full of prunes and pin holes:
Germany had more trades unonsts than the British En-

trades uionsts had secured what English workers were
still striving for Wages higher in proportion to the
measuraby better It has long been the surprise of
travellers in Berlin that there no slums there.

Frank Scott Commits
Suicide by Hanging
From Sandpit Beam

A grewsome sight net the eyes OF
Martin Springer when he arrived at
the Frank Scott sand pit yesterday
morning in the discovery Of Mr..
SCOTS body dangling fro ma rope sus'
Lended from a beam,
The workman at once notified the
authorities and Conorer O'Bryan and
States Attorney Hangar Immediately
repaired to the scene. They found
the body still warm, and concluded
that death had not occurred to exceed
thirty minutes prior thereto.
1t appears that Mr.. Scott, who had
been experimenting the taking out
of the. sand from the pit, lived in a
hut erected within the enclosure. He
seemed to be in good spirits the. pre-
vious evening, having been seen up
town about 10 o'clock.
Judged from Appearances, it is be-
lieved that Scott, after attaching the
rope to the beam and fastening the
other end about his neck, jumped
or permitted himself to fall from the
beam, as there we're indications that
the neck was broken, although at the
hour of this writing such had not
been officially determined, a post
norton not yet having been held.
The motive is not disclosed, al
though it is thought that the rash act
was due to dependency, although
for the most part Mr.. Scott has SEEM
ed toIbe in a fairly cheerful mood of
late.
The deceased leaves a brother,
John Scott, and a sister, Mrs. Eliza
Ellis, in this city; a sister, Mrs. Jen-
ME Hagera, who resides in Montana,
and two daughters, Grace and Nina,
residing at Candy, MINI.
Mr.. Scott had long been a resi-
dent of Watertown, He was regard
as a man of good intentions, one
who was kind and c~onsiderate in his
dealings with his fellowmen.
The community extends its deep
sympathy to the bereaved relatives
in this sad hour.

OF RADIUM NOW
ON SUCCESSFUL BASIS

Secretary Of the Interior Frank
lin X. Lane, announced Tuesday that
the production of radium from Colo
RADIO carnotite ores by the Bureau of
Mines, in connection with the Nation
al Radium Institute has passed the
experimental stage in its new process
and Is now on successful manu-
featuring basis. He also declared
that the statements made to Congress
concerning the ability of the Bureau
of Mines to produce radium at q
greatly decreased cost over other
processes had actually been accom-
plished and that the costs were even
less than predicted.
The cost of one gram of radium
metal produced in the form of bro
mide during March, April and May of
the present year was $36.O5O, &C
cording to DR.. Charles L. Parsons, in
charge of the radium investigations
of the bureau. This includes the
cost of ore. insurance, repairs,
amortization allowance for plant and
equipment, cost of Bureau of Mines
cooperation, and all expenses Incl
dent to the production of high grade
radium bromide. When you con-
slider that radium has been selling
for 100000 and 100000 a gram,
you will see just what the Bureau of
Mines has accomplished along these
lines.
