RADIUM'S USES
Furnishes the Luminous Paint for
Watches and Clocks

Only d few years ago radium was
ARE metal-almost a curiosity. To-
day, while produced in very small
quantities, its value is many times
greater than gold and its uses are
broadening constantly. The war has
aided this.
The chief technical use for radium
is in connection with permanently
luminous raint. If radium salts are
mixed with phosphorescent zinc sui
phide a product is obtained which is
permanently luminous in the dark
with out previous exposure to light.
The zinc suphide must be specially
prepared and usually contains traces
of impurities, such as copper, man
ganese Of ether mineral. Just what
relation exists between these impulit-
les and the peculiar properties of the
zinc sulphide is not known, although
experimental work is now being done
to determine it. The luminous paint
usually carries from Oh to OBS mig.
Of radium element to one gram of
zinc sulpbide, depending upon the
paticular use to which the paint is
put.
This material is now being used
largely on the faces of watches and
clocks, to coat electric light push
buttons and the chains attached to
electric globes and for various other
purposes. II is unfortunate that the
domestic supply of radium is being
Disseminated in this manner. But as
the physlci;ns and surgeons of the
country are not purchasing enough
radium to make the industry a fnan-
cial success it is natural that the man
ufacturers should take other means
of creating demand The day is
probably rot far distant when the
kpeople of the United States viii
greatly regret that SO much radiun
has been utalized in this way.
Radium has decided usefulness a
present. Nine instruments used OF
airplanes have dia1s made luminou!
with radiari paint, and it is employ
ed in the same manner for compasse!
and gunslghts. The efficiency o.
night fring, with both machine gun!
and artillery. has been greatly in
creased by the use of luminous sights

" M. c.. A. WILL TEACH
SOLDIERS TRADES
Fifty Instructors Now Engaged II
the Work

London, Oct 5, Correspondence of
The Associated Press)-Thousands
of Americo1 soldiers who have never
had any trade are going to have
chance to learn one under the tute-
lage of Young Mems Christian AS
sociation instructors before they re-
turn to America. 1t is hoped by this
plan that the soldiers, no matter what
their vocation before the war, will go
back home better equipped for 1t OF
for something better than before they
enlisted.
Fifty Instructors from the United
States already are busy with classes
Of American soldiers in the United
Kingdom and at least fifty more are
needed before January 1, 1919. 1t is
estimated that for each of the one
hundred Y. NJ. C. A. secretaries en-
listed in this work five volunteer IN
structors can be obtained from the
ranks of the soldiers. This would
give faculty in the British Isles
of six hu.,cred men capable of teach
ING 10000 men in actual class work,
between 10000 and 10000 in cores
pondence studies and of giving lee
lures every week to from 25,O0O to
$4,000 troops.
The work in France is much great
er, of course, and there the Y. NJ. g.
A. is receiving the cooperation OF the
military fol ces in fitting the Ameri-
can soldier for a useful occupation
when he has finished the job under
Generals Foch and Pefshing.
The g"eat Y. M. C. A. plan is bas-
ed upon the work the New Zealand
Y. M. C. A. has done in England
which has challenged American adj
miration. American workers have
visited the New Zealand camp fol
convalescent troops in the southeast
of England where the New Zealand
ers are cu;tiivating intensively a 4C
acre farm and where the New Zea-
land troops are learning to be better
farmers thar ever.
Technical instruction for Ameri-
can soldiers is to include the study
of automobile gas engines and aircraft
engines; mathematics, from arithme-
tic to trigonometry; mechanical draw
ing, agricultural drawing and topo'
graphical draughting; plan reading
and estimating; principles of mech
anics; principles of electricity; art
and crafts; general principles of ag
riculture, which will include mode
farms and demonstration in trucl
gardening and the raising of poultry
hogs, cattle, ETC., with courses il
dairying anc every other branch o
