G0vERNME CUTS COST
OF RADIUM PRODUCTION.
Secretary Lane Urges the Conservation
Of Ore Deposits.

Secretary Lane announced that the
production of radium from Colorado
~carnotite ores by the bureau Of mines
OF the department OF the interior, In
connection with the National Radium
institute. has passed the experimental
stage In its new process and is on a
successful manufacturing basis. He
also declared that the statements made
to congress concerning the ability of
the bureau OF mines TO produce radium
at a greatly decreased cost over other
processes had actually been verified
and that the cost was even less than
predicted. Secretary Lane said:
The cost OF one gram of radium
metal produced In the form of bromide
during March, April and May of the
present year was $36,050, | am inform

consider that radium has been selling
for $4,000 and 100000 a gram. you
will see just what the bureau OF mines
has accomplished along these lines.

WORKERS OF AMERICA
GROWING MORE THRIFTY.
Savings Show a Marked Increase De-
spite Period Of Slack Times.

The building and loan associations OF
the United States increased their assets
a little more than $1Oo,0O0,OOO In 1914,
marking "A growth of S.T3 per cen over
the previous year. according TO the an
nual report OF III. Il. Cellarius OF Gin
%cinnati, secretary of the United States
League of Local Building and Loan AS
the twenty-third annual meeting.
Secretary Cellarius continued.
Considering the fact that this period
included nearly six months OF the great
var In Europe. during which time there
also existed In this country an indus
trial depression more or less severe,
this showing speaks volumes for the
thrift and saving habits of the wage
earning classes of our citizens. who are
the chief patrons of these institutions.
The hard times apparently have
stimulated IN enforced economy. have
required a reduction OF unnecessary
expenses. which In times OF great pros
perity are usually on the increase. and
have brought home to the people the
necessity of conserving their resources.
"As a result they are saving as much
or more In proportion than they did
during more prosperous periods.
There are In the United States 6,612
building and loan associations. with a
membership OF 3.103, 435 and assets az.

RUSSIA FORESAW
WARSAW BATTLE
Last Line Before City a Real
Trench Gibraltar.
WORK REQUIRED MONTHS.
Correspondent Describes Formidable
Dsfsnsss He Saw on Battle Front.
Pronounced by Military Experts TO
Be the Best In All Europe-Six Rows,
One Behind the Other.

What Is probably the most important
battle of the war so far and one mark
Ell by horrible slaughter on both sides
occurred on the outskirts OF Warsaw.
The Russians, 1t seems, foresaw this
engagement and had erected the most
complete system of trenches at this
point. A correspondent of the Chicago
News, who spent some time at this
front, describes the Notifications as
follows:
These defenses are called the Bio
nie-Grodek line. This Is halfway be-
tween Warsaw and the old line of de
Tense on the Bzura and Rawka rivers,
on which the Russians and Germans
began fighting on Dec. 10.
THE new line at Blonie is about hf.
teen miles from the city. 1t was con-
structed by the Russians during the
winter. 1t was not built by soldiers,
but by Polish laborers employed by
the Russians at 10 cents a day. The
line ran from the curve of the Vistula
north of Warsaw, at the fortress of
Novo Georgievsk. south through the
town Of Blonie. then south TO the town
of Grodek, then southeast to a point
OF the Vistula river virtually at the
fortress of Ivangorod. 1t was about
hfty miles long.
This line constituted the last de-
fensive position OF the Russians west
of the vistula river. / have been over
a arts ~ tho ,ipa aud Ira nIaooo ubiah I
visited It consisted of six distinct lines
Of trenches, one behind another, from
200 yards to 1000 yards apart These
trenches were constructed with the ut
most care and were pronounced by the
foreign military observers who accom-
panied me the best constructed trench
es they had ever seen. They were far
better than the original defenses OF the
Russians on the Vistula and Rawka
rivers.
1.-The trenches are connected by sunk
en- passageways in different places.
These afford an opportunity for the
troops to retire from trench to trench.
There are elaborate projections Of
barbed wire entanglements or wooden
posts. Some OF these entanglements
project high above the surface of the
ground. Others are only two feet high
and are constructed In a broad ditch,
which prevents their being seer at a
distance.
Built Up With Sand Bags.
AS to the trenches themselves, they
are deep enough SO that a man may
stand upright In them and still be pro-
tected. They are deliberately built up
with sand bags. and the front part has
