! If d pound of radium were available
 and for sale at one time it would bring
 more than s9OOO,OOO at the present war
 price.' Late last year one and one-tenth
 grams of radium (element were sold in
 the United States for $l2O,OoO a gram,
 says a report issued by the United States geological survey. The total output of ! this coutnry in 1915 was only 6 grams, or dupois The war in Europe caused a great decrease in the production of ra- dium In 1914 22.3 grams were produced The largest known radium bearing depos- it's in the world are in the United States but the principal market for radium is in Europe Although Americans have fully
 appreciated the wonderful properties of radum, European municipalities and hos pitals have been the most liberal purchas- CTS When the war started in Europe the demand for radium fell off so sharply that there was practically no market for radldm or uranium ores in the early part of 1915, and few sales were made during any part of the year The result was that mining operations for radium bear ing ores were stopped, except enough work to hold claims. The United States bureau of mines has developed a process by which radium can be produced at a cost of s37599 a gram. The largest areas of radium bearing ores are to be found ill Colorado and Utah.

WHAT ANNAPOLIS NEEDS---NO. 2

The census of 1900 shows the popula-
ton of Annapolis city at that time
as S,525; the census of 1910 shows
500, which is an increase in popula-
ton of 1S4 for the whole period of
ten years. Figuring at the rate of
twenty births per one thousand of
population per year, there were dur
ing those ten years. approximately
1,100 births in Annapolis City.
Families settle and remain in those
towns where employment is surest.
Annapolis needs industries-fac
ries, mills. shops, anything with a
payroll. Articles of trade can be
made just as cheaply here as else
where. Transportation facilities
are even better than the average.
Then why are there no private in
dustrial establishments here worth
mentioning That question answers
itself when one recalls the induce
ments offered to. or withheld from
those enterprises which have SER
iously sought to establish themselves
here. The fact that more advan-
tageous offers were made them else
where is self-evident.
needs to look with sincere
favor toward all prospective local
enterprises; and she needs, above
all, the willingness to offer induce
ments sufficient to secure their To-
cation here.

WADE A GOOD SHOWING.

Although few in number, Maryland's
little band in the Preparedness parade
in Washington was not to be ignored.
The Baltimore section carried "the
largest flag in the world" measuring
some four hundred feet in length,
which attracted much attention.
Annapolis, too, while not taking
over a large number of citizens, made
up in quality what it lacked in guam
fifty, for the Mayor, several city Alder
men and the Clerk TO the Court of
Appeals were in the line of march, and
carried the banner favoring the Ma
tional Defense Highway from the ma
tional capital. at Washington to the
State capital-Annapolis.
We are proud of Maryland's show
ing, even though small. Many were
kept away by business reasons. who
would otherwise have shown their
colors.' Maryland is the State of
FIRST THINGS. Maryland is the
Peerless of all States, and Maryland
never shirks She always stands by
her guns.

Ii seems strange passing strange,
that the women of the Civic League
should be appealed TO for aid in bring
ing to pass the Filtration Plant at the
Water Works. Men, most of them
think woman's work is in the home,
Ii this be true. what right has she TO
have anything to do with filtration
plants at the city water works? Her
efforts for civic betterment are often
times blocked by the voters, and she
doesn't count in any civic sense at any
rate. Why then ask her aid for a fill
tration plant. Let her continue to
abide in the home and not bother with
municipal affairs.
