UNEXPECTED ATMOSPHERE.

his sisters invitation.

We'll, pink, blue or yellow teas-or
anything you like to call them. I've es-
corted you this whole winter from one
studio to another. I've irnbibed gallons
of sickly tea and eaten pounds of cake
and tarts and jam and I've listened to
wOuld-be artists rave for hours about
their souls and their temperaments. I'm
sick OF il. II you must have that false
atmosphere. please don't insist upon my
going with you, sis. I'm sorry. but when

emotions while he derided her loved ex-
cursions and when he finished she was
ready to weep. But for the fact that
she was anxious to look well that aft

add to her brothers discomfort. Helen
was the only girl in a family with four
boys and II had always been her amuse-

He had a sincere hope that his sister
would develop some common sense
after she had a season or two of
New York studio life. She was young.
AS they walked briskly down Cen

curious about his hostess-to-be.

CHEAP RApIUM IDEA
SECUTED AS dream
Pittsburgh Producer Says Bureau Of
Mines Has Failed in Its Promise
to the Public.

That the United States Bureau OF
Mines has failed IN its promise, made
more than year ago. to produce radium
for the public at One-third the present
market price of $l2O per milligram. is
one of the charges made here yesterday
i'm an interview by Joseph NJ. Flannery,
president Of 4 Pittsburgh company, which
is the worlds biggest producer OF radium.
Mr.. Flannery's interview gives particular
attention to the Bureau of Mines, in the
Interior Department OF which DR.. Joseph
A Holmes is the chief.
DIR. Holmes intimated in his testimony
before the Mines and Mining Committee
" year ago" said Mr.. Flannery, that
the United States government could fur
nish radium for the public at much
lower price than the present market cost.
He has not only failed to do this, but he
has demonstrated through the men work
ing under him, that it has cost the gov
Crnment at least 200 per cent more than
the present market price to produce the
.Sl1. 900 worth OF radium recently exhibited
In the House.
This statement OF DR.. Holmes that he
would furnish radiUm to the public so
much more Cheaply has prevented many
physicians and surgeons from purchasing
radium so far, and, consequently, has
blighted the hopes that many cancer suf-
siCians and surgeons. l believe that pub
lie officials should be restrained from
making such utterances, which are
hardship TO the cancer victim. II is only
natural for the medical men to endeavor
TO secure his radium at lower. cost if pos
sible
: I'm his testimony before the Congress
siOnal committees. DIR. Holmes said his
Bureau of Mines had evolved a process
for the successful treatment of the car
nOtite ores of the West and the conse-
quent production Of radiUm. The fact
that over a year has been consumed in
the production of ninety-one milligrams
Of radium speaks volumes for the in
efficiency of this so-called process Dr.
Foster in his speech before the House
studiously avoided reference to the cost
OF manufacturing these ninety-One milli-
grams. 1t would be interesting to know
just what the exact figures are for the
production of this material I am con-
vinced that it cost at least 200 per cent
more than the present market price"

200 JTTNEY BUSES AT START.
Promoters Say Service VIII Solve
Many Traffic Problems.

Many transportation problems not met
by ordinary conveyance service are eX-
pected to be solved with the inaugura-
ton Of the ''jitney bus" service to be
started here on March l. Two hundred
cars are expected to be in operation
when the service begins.
Andrew l. Hickey. chairman of the d.
rectors and president of the company.
said yesterday that the cars will be
operated on routes that seem most ad-
vantageous.
At the start OF the service, there will
be no transfers. The fare will be FIVE
cents. Tickets or transfers may follow
when the service has been put under way
and the owners launch their plans to CO.
operate with such services in other cities.
The company Is in close touch with au-
thorities on the subject of "jitney bus
transportation methods, and expects ul-
timately to solve most OF the problems.
It's greatest argument will be time saved
in transportation, Mr.. Hickey said.

ROBINS FLY TO THE NORTH.
MyFiads in West Virginia Bringing
Harbinger of Spring.

Beckley, w. Va. Feb 7-Hundreds Of
robins have descended upon an old rook-
cry in a dense pine woods near here and
have evidently determined to spend the
rest of the winter there.
For robins to winter as far North as
this. especially in the cold of such a high
altitude, is unheard of here.
Every afternoon just as the sun reaches
the Western horizon great focks of the
birds may be seen coming from all di-
rections to the rookery. The appearance
Of robins has always been regarded here
as a harbinger OF spring.

the national organization interested in
penny postage intends to press this re-

Of Congress. Those interested are pro-
eeeding upon the theory that President
Wilson will call an extra session of
Congress. Accordingly they are making
arrangements to enlist public support for

Bills providing for penny postage have
been presented in the House by Repre-
