BUREAU MINES DOING GOOD
 WORK

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 - Mann tacture or radium worth more than million dollars; a saving of more than $20,000000 worth of natural gas in the Blackwell field in Oklahoma. manufacture of gasoline at a cost of six cents gallon; development of an electrical furnace which promises to wipe out losses of $1OO0O. 900 a year in the melting of brass, and the say ing of many lives, through the promo ton of scientific mining methods are among the achievements of the federal bureau of mines outlined today in the annual report of the director, Van H Manning
 The manufacture of radium was ac- complished in cooperation with the National Radium Institute. which fur nished capital of $300.000 necessary to develop an ecOnimical method of extracting the precious metal from the carnOtite ores of the west. Eight and one-half grams of radium were produced at a cost of less than $40, 900 per gram, which in the open mar ket would cost between $10O,OOO and $l2O,0OO gram. The greater part Of the product was turned over to two great hospitals for use in treatment of cancer, from which 1t is estimated there are 75,000 deaths each year in the United States.
 The saving of $2O,O00 00O worth of natural gas in the Blackwell field was accomplished by the bureaus new me thod of drilling wells. It includes a process of sealing the gas in its ori- ginal reservoir until marketing time. Oil operators in Kansas and other states have adopted the method
 The new process of manufacturing gasoline was evolved with the Ritt- man furnace, which makes it possible to take the waste gas oil of California, which is worth two cents a gallon and make from it gasoline at cost of six | cents a gallon. The report announces that the Rittman process is a conner clal success and that the bureau is ready to give to the public a commer- cial cracking process, free of royalty. which will make available for internal combustion engines large quantities of otherwise unavailable fractions of petroleum"
 In studies for recovering metal wastes in melting brass, the bureau has developed an electric furnace which gives promise of eliminating wastes of $10.000,0OO year at the present rate of great production and high prices.
 In its work of safety for miners, the bureau has approved types of cleo tric miners lamps which are being in stalled at the rate of 100000 a year, and will eliminate the cause of many fatal explosions.

NEW YORK, oct 25.--Two persons
we're injured and the station at One
Hundred and Tenth street was wreck.
ID by the explosion Of a dynamite
tomb in the subway today.
A south-bound train had left the
station just two minutes before the
explosion and the platform was de-
serted, otherwise there probably would
have been heavy loss of life.
Just how the bomb was placed IS
rot known by the police. 1t is be-
lieyed that the person who planted
the internal machine boarded the train

Of combustibles, said that there may
lave been more than one bomb. The
explosion could be heard for mile.
The subway strike is still in effect
and detectives are investigating the
possibility that strike sympathizer

WAR review
FOR THE DAY

More interest was divided between
Roumania than Verdun. The menace
of complete domination of Rouman-
IA by the German allies has been
heightened by further victories for the
armies of Field Marshal Won Mack.
ensen and General Won Falkanhayn.
These victories give the German allies
two more gateways for the invasion OF
the interior of Roumania and a direct
drive on Bucharest
The capture of Cernavoda was a
particularly brilliant stroke. This
city lies at the eastern end of the
great twelve mile bridge across the
Danube. Details of the fall OF the
City have not been received and il
Is known not whether or not the Rou-
manians destroyed the bridge before
taking fight.
Conquest is Complete.
The conquest or Dobrudja by the
Bulgarians, Germans and Turks is now
complete. 1t gives them control OF
5000 square miles of Roumanian ter
ritory.
Another mighty movement is under
way at Verdun but is contains less
of dramatic interest than the cant
paign in Roumania. for in the latter
area of operations the fate of king
dom is at stake.
Efforts were made throughout last
night by the Germans to re-capture
the ground they lost east of the Meuse
river but according to the French war
office all were repulsed. The German
official report admits the loss %
ground at Verdun but the reference
to Fort Doumaunt is not clear. 1t
states that the French attack until
burning fort Doumaunt was gained
This may mean that the Germans
burned the fort and then retreated
or that 1t was set on fire by shells.
On the Somme front bad weather is
findering the operations.
