Burglars AT Work
But Failed.

Sunday night burglars attemp-
ted to open the safe of the Du-
champ Hardware Co., they first
tried to work the combination as
they left piece of paper with a
record of the numbers that were
tried, several matches were burned
near the safe after the electric
lights in the store were put out by
the burglars, a brace and drill
were also left near the safe when
they were frightened away when
Mr.. j. H. Duchamp and Mr.. A..
Patin went to the store at ten
o'clock to get some packages, Mr..
Duchamp thought he had heard
some one in the store and rushed
toward the noise, but Mr.. Patin
believed the noise was from the
outside and no serious search was
made in the store, and the idea
did not occur to them to look at
the safe, as they would have been
convinced that the burglars were
in the store at the time. The
attempt at the safe was only dis
covered the next day. There was
over $500 in the safe. the sales and
collections of Saturday, had the
robbers succeeded in opening the
safe they would have made a good
haul as all the money was in bills

PRICE Of RAD|UM QUOTED
At 100000 A POUND
U. S. Production Small, However,
and Sales Made in Very
Limited Quantities.

Radium now is selling at the rate OF w.
O0O, 900 pound, although no one has yet
been able to buy a pound. Late in 1919
there was sold in this country one and
one-tenth grams of radium at the rate
of s1oO, 900 a gram, according to report
issued today by the United States geo
logical survey. The entire output of the
United States last year, however, was
only six grams, or about one-seventy-
sixth of a pound avoirdupois. The
European war caused a great slump in
the production of radium. as in 1914
there were twenty-five and three-tenth
grams produced.
q. S. Has Largest Deposits.
1.-THE United States has the largest
known radium- bearing deposits in the
world says the geological survey, but
the market for radum is mostly in
Europe, for, although Americans like to
feel that they are sufficiently progressive
to take Hold of and use to the full new
discoveries, inventions and processes. yet
the European municipalities and hospitals
have been buying and utilizing most of
the radium produced.
when the war began, therefore,
causing European money to flow into
other channels, the demand for radium
fell off so greatly that there was prac-
no market for radium or urani-
UNI ores in the early part of 1915, and
very little market during any part of
the year"
Mining Operations Halted.
AS result of the collapse of the ra
dunn market mining of radfum- bearing
ores, except for such work as was
necessary to hold the claims. was near
ly stopped. Through the efforts of the
experts of the United States bureau of
mines a process has been developed by
which radium has been produced at a
cost of S31,599 a gram. The principal
fields of the radium- bearing ores are
in Colorado and Utah. --.''

Germany has sunk these ships and
killed non combatantS until the num-

Whether the acts were done By Ger

stopped simply because the British
