HOLLAND MAN IS HERE
BUYING AUTOMOBILES
Barend j. Ten DAM Auto Dealer,
Has just Purchased Ten
Pathfinder Machines.

indianapolis, July s.-Barend J.
Ten Dam, an automobile dealer and
business man of Holland, is here to
buy automobiles, because he has
heard Indianapolis is one OF the
greatest automobile manufacturing
cities In the United States This Ia
my first visit to America, and | am
enjoying 1t very much" said Mr.. Ten
DAM who Is at the Claypoll Hotel.
NO, l am not here to buy war sup
plies. / bought ten Pathfinder auto
mobiles yesterday, and | will ship
them to the Asiatic colonies of Hol-
land / visited Fort Harrison Sum-
day and was much interested in sees
ing your troops, There were more
automobiles there than there were
soldiers. Holland is a little country,
about tho size of Indiana. yet you
nave 1900 soldiers and we have 275,-
geo soldiers That is quite d differ
ence. But although we have a large
army for such a small country we
are not wanting war. We have Bel
GUM at our door, and we can look
over and see the desolation there.
That Is a. warning to us to keep out
or war. But we are fully prepared
to defend ourselves. In my opinion
we will be able TO keep out OF the
war; Mr.. Ten Dam will leave
here for Milwaukee. Wis, where he
will try supply OF motorcycles. He
belongs to the flying machine division
OF the army and enjoys the work very
much.

The car was brought back to the

car was given the wrong number, and
as much of the goods going to the
plant is shipped in solid car lots the
error was not discovered until the car
was opened at the plant. ~
The man who handles the cars at
the plant was rather surprised when
he opened the car TO find it packed
full OF tobacco, He knew that the
people at the plant used tobacco, but
he was not ready to believe that 1t
was being shipped BY the carload.
Later on he found out that thu
proper destination OF the car was far

MILLIONS WORTH Of
RAO|UM MANUFACTURED
Made by Bureau of Mines at Cost of
Only $4,000, and Furnished
Hospitals.

Washington. Dec. S.--More than a
million dollars worth of radium. most
of which has been turned over to the
hospitals OF the country for treating
cancer, has been manufactured dur
ing the past year by the bureau of
mines of the Department of the In
terror. This was done at cost OF
less than $4,000, according to the
report of Director Manning. made pub
lie tonight. The method of extract
ing the radium from earn otite- bearing
lands has been patented for the bene-
fit of the people OF the country, and
United States. AS a result, 1t Is pre-
dicted that the annual toll OF $4,000
deaths from cancer will eventually be
greatly reduced.
The conservation work of the Blu
reau of Mines. particularly in regard
TO a new method of oil well drilling.
has resulted In great savings of nat
uraI resources The new plan of drill
ing oil wells Is successful in shutting
into its natural reservoirs natural gas
worth $4,000. 200 has so been saved
during the past year.
The Rittmann process of producing
gasoline. less expensive that the pop
ular method. Is capable also OF pro-
ducing gasoline from waste oil. valued
at two cents gallon. The cost of
such manufacture including the cost
OF the waste oil Is but six cents a
gallon. In addition. it was been sue
cessfully demonstrated during the
past year that any derivative of crude
petroleum may be transformed into
gasoline by utilizing the Rittmann
