STRAIGHT. AT HIGH SCHOOL
Reading from ,Pickwick Papers De-
 ' lights Large Audience

Frank Speaight of London, known as ''the man who made Dickens live" de- lighted a large audience at the Central High school last night by his impersona- tion of the immortal creations of the novelist.
 Mir. -Speaisht read five chapters from PiclSwick Papers, and his interpretation convufsed the audience. MT. Speaights conception of the characters was typica1ly English and while varying considerably from the American idea of humor was entertaining, nevertheless.
 MT. Speaight was the fifth number of the lyceum. The next will be presented February 10. when Frederick Ward, thel actor and playwright, will lecture.

not be shorn; and that if the VOW were broken, his special prayer would be brok- en. While he slept his deceitful friend cut off his hair, and then aroused him, saying, ''The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. '' But, the VOW being broken he was with out the special strength which had made him so wonderful before.
 Samson's enemies gloated over him, put his eyes out and kept him as a slave, grinding at the mills. But at a feast they brought him forth as a trophy He stood near two pillars, which supported the roof of the great building; and with a prayer to God, he grasped these and pulled down the entire structure, doing more damage to the Philistines in the killing of their chief men, and more therefore for the de- than in all the other experiences of his life.
 Lessons for the Christian
 One lesson we may learn from Samson's s experiences is the importance of having an object in life. In boys and girls be- tween the ages of 12 and Is. there is a surging of life forces, which, rightly di- rected. tend to make them noble men and women. but which, perverted in wrong di- rections, may make them vicious or which, discouraged entirely, may make them do less. At such a time the faith full parent or guardian may be very sue cessful in setting before the opening mind its reasonable obligation toward the Gre ator, and the blessed privilege of laying down life itself on the side of right against wrong, of truth against error. With these matters thoroughly appreciated the num- Der of moral heroes in the world would be greatly multiplied.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 22..-The
cry has gone up from American
physicians that with $4,000 per-
sons dying annually from cancer
in this country the nation was
doing nothing to prevent the ex-
portation of the only known
method to possibly affect a cure.
The United States has solved
this now, or partially solved It,
by plunging into the radium bust
ness. And no one is going to have
a corner on the supply except the
government of the United States.
1t Is the aim of the federal au-
thorities to obtain such guam
tity of radium that no cancer suf-
ferer will be compelled to go to
his death knowing that relief for
his disease exists but is hopeless
ly beyond his financial means.
The first shipment of the fin
ished product has been made
from the Denver laboratories to
the National Radium Institute at
Baltimore. At the present rate
of production within a few years
sufficient supply will be available
