KNELL OF
RADIUM HEARD

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. Sept IS.
The death knell OF the worlds sup
pix of radium, now in constant use
on the battle front, and proven
cure for forms OF cancer. was rung
before the American Institute OF Min.
ing Engineers and a warning sound
ed to the country's physicians and
surgeons TO accumulate all OF this
precious metal not needed for war
purposes.
DR.. Richard r. Moore, OF the Unit
ed States bureau OF mines. stated
that there are only about three
ounces OF radium element in exist
ence at the present time. and predict
ed that new deposits OF the ore could
be mined for scarcely more than six
or seven years TO come.
Because the physicians and sur
geons of the country are not pur.
chasing enough radium 10 make the
industry a financial success, said DR..
Moore, the material is being used on
the faces of watches and clocks, cleo
trio light push buttons and chains at
tached to electric globes. This is OBJ
viously dissipating a supply which
has distinct medical and military
value.
1t was stated that there are nine
different instruments used on aero
planes having dials made luminous
with radlum paint. and in the same
manner on compasses and gun sights
The efficiency OF night firing on the
allied front with both machine guns
and artillery has been greatly in
creased. says DIR. Moore. by the use
of these luminous sights.

DEAF MUTE IDEAL FIGHTER
MINEOLA AVIATORS BELIEVE,

Mineola, Long Island. July 12.--Army
oficers Of the Mineola aviation field
believe that the ideal air fighter has
been found-the deaf mute. As a re-
suit OF tests made with recent
graduates from the New York In
stitution for the Deaf and Dumb
It is believed that the War De-
partment will soon authorize their
enrolment in the flying service and
that a new field of war endeavor
will be opened to thousands of
young men all over the country.
Curiously enough il has been dis
covered that deafness eliminates
one OF the most dangerous factors
in the training OF military aviators.
The man who was born normal, but
who has lost his hearing has no
sense OF motion. SO it is explained
by Mai. William II. Van Tassell, as
sistant principal OF the institution.
As a result he loses the fear and the
feeling of dizziness which a great
altitude often causes in the normal
man.
Tried Afrplanes.
"a number OF our graduates have
been tried out In airplanes at
Mineola for several Sundays past"
said Maj. Van Tassell. and the
tests have been so successful that #
10 quite likely they will be allowed
to enlist. 1t will depend upon how
further experimentation. which is
now In progress, turns out
The deaf have no sense OF motion.
II they lose the sense Of hearing.
