IRIDIUM NEVER SEEN IN
 NATURE

Radium is metal and Ia 1de- scribed as having white metallic luster. It has been isolated only once CT twice and few people have seen 1t, Radium !s ordinarily ob- tained from its ores ih the form of hydrous suiphate, chloride, or bromide, and 1t is in the form of theye salts that it is usually sold and used. These are all white or nearly white substances, whose ap- pearance is no mere remarkable than common salt CT baking powder Radlum is found in nature in such exceedingly small quantities that 1t is never visible even when the ma-' terial is examined with a micro scope. Ordinarily rndium ore car ries cnly small fraction of a grain per ton Of material and radium will never be found In large quantity because 1t is formed by the decay of uranium, a process which is wonderfully slow, and radium itself decays and changes to. other elements so rapidly that it Is impos- sible for it to accumulate natural ly in visible masses. Minerals that carry radium, however, are fairly easy to determine. One of them, pitchDlende, as generally found, is black mineral about as heavy ai ordinary iron, but much softer. The principal radium mineral, carnotite, has bright canary-yellow color, and is generally powdery, There are other radium-bearing minerals of t+s importance.

Unless he can bring this to the con-

ter proposal-the stipulation being
strictly that 1t shall be in writing
General Scott will return at once to
Washington and General Funston will
leave for San Antonio. Redistribution
of the American eXpedtionary forces
will begin at once.
The chief point of the American ar
gument is that no definite time shall
be set for the withdrawal of American
troops. Any counter proposal Carran-
"a may forward through Obregon will
be considered SO long as it does not
ask for definite date Of withdrawal.
Suggestion Submitted.
AS Obregon, over in JuareZ, pre-
pared with his staff to attend the con-
ference, word came from Washington
that CarranZa had laid before the
state department the alternative OF a
definite withdrawal or negotiations
for a new treaty between the two ma
tions. 1t was at once reported that
Obregon would attempt to force the
same issue before the American gen
erals In Ell Paso. Such an attempt, it
was reported, would end the confer

DARING CITIZENS
FLIRT WITH LAW
IN CARELESS WAY

Why is it that everybody tries to
walk on the white lines that run
across the streets at the intersection
of Main and Eighth streets? The law
onl. asks that people walk between
them but almost twenty-five per cent
of the people walk on them.
There are two main suppos1tions
afloat as to the reason. One is that
the people want to come as close as
possible to violating the law and the
other is that they are testing their
ability to walk straight. The latter
supposiion is undoubtedly true for
many who walk it about Il p. m.

FARMERS PETITION
COUNTY TO HANDLE
TOWNSHIP ROADS

Township trustees throughout the
county have been besieged with pc
titions from the farmers asking for
township rods to be turned over to
the county so that they might come
under the supervision of the county
road department. According to law,
it is optional with the county COM
missioners whether or not to accept
the petitions. 1t is probable that no
more roads will be accepted this year
on account Of the tax levy.
The excellent condition in which
the county roads have been placed this
spring by the road superintendent and
his corps of seventeen assistants, is
largely responsible for the desire on
the part of many farmers to turn all
the roads over to the county.

fered special inducements to labor.
