SHORTAGE
IS FEARED BY
MINING MEN
HALF WORLDS SUPPLY HAS
COME FROM TWO
STATES

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Sept. A.
A shortage of radium was forecast
by DR.. Richard B. Moore of the
United States bureau of mines In an
address he delivered here today be-
fore the annual meeting of the Amer
lean Institute of Mining Engineers.
Radium is largely being used on
the faces of watches and clocks and
other similar purposes, the speaker
said.
at is a great pity that our sup
ply of radium is being disseminated
in this manner" said DR.. Moore.
But as the physicians and sur
geons of the country are not pur-
chasing enough radium to make the
industry a financial success, it is
natural that the manufacturers
should take other means of Great
ing a demand.
The day is not far distant, in my
judgment, when we shall greatly re-
greet that radium has been lost in
this way.
"Radium has a most decided use
fulness at the present time; nine
instruments used on airplanes have
dials made luminous with radium
paint; it is employed in the same
n for compasses and gun
sights. The efficiency of night fir
ing, with both machine guns and
artillery, has been greatly increas-
ed by the use of these luminous
sights. Other uses cannot be speci-
fled, at the present time, in a pub
lie paper.
1T is difficult to estimate the
exact amount of radium in existence
at the present time; probably it is
somewhere around three ounces of
radium element. Considerably more
than half the amount of radium
now in existence has come from Col
orado and Utah cornotite pres.

INDUSTRIES HUM
BEHIND LINES
IN FRANCE
SIXTEEN LOCOMOTIVES ARE
PRODUCED EACH
DAY

AMERICAN PORT, WESTERN
FRANCE, Sept. s.. = There is the
crash and bang of a great cannon
ade, like a battery of trench NOR
tars in action.
But this is o the cannonade of
the battle front one hears here, but
another kind of cannonade, almost
as fierce and ear-splitting, of trip
hammers, giant sledges aud electric
riveters in the gigantic American
construction camp which has sud
denly sprung into existence here.
Standing in the vast workshops,
about the dimensions of the capitol
in Washington, with the throb of a
great work going on inside and
miles of activity stretching away
outside in railway yards, warehous-
es, docks and camps, the feeling is
that this is after all quite as essen
tial a part in the winning of the
war as the struggle going on farth-
err forward, for here is the very
fountain head of material for win
ming the war.
There are great 320-milimeter
cannon like the 12-inch monsters on
American ~battleships, with all their
ponderous mountings and trucks,
huge cotton locomotives which are
turned out with the incredible speed
of six to 10 a day, exceeding the
output of the great establishments
In America, and flat cars, freight
cars, box cars, tank cars and all the
other forms of railway Transports
ton turned out by scores and hun
dreds daily as a baker turns out
cakes from his ovens.
What has been most astonishing
to the European observer is that all
this vast storehouse of American
energy and production could be ere
ated in a few months out of prac-
tical.y nothing.
Last fall the site of this present
plant was a vast marsh with the sea
water over it at high tide. 1t was
necessary first to raise the level of
the ground five to nine feet. This
was a huge engineering undertaking
in itself. When it was done, in
stead of a marsh with the sea lap
ping it, the astonished townspeople
saw Il high and level plane adjacent
to the city, with big ocean piers be-
ginning to stretch out seward for
the incoming migration of American
men and materials.
Soon thereafter rose like magic
the huge buildings to carry on the
infinite diversity of activities of
this hive of war industry.

DROUGHT DRIVING
SETTLERS OUT
OF TEXAS
LITTLE RAIN HAS FALLEN IN
THIRTY SIX
MONTHS

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 4. = A
strange procession of canvas-covered
O drawn by mules, for more
than a month has been creeping out
of west texas with farmers and
ranchers who have despaired of try
fng to make a livelihood on the land
that has been parched under a blaz-
ing sun and has seen virtually no
rain for SO months.
The emigrants from this particu-
lar section have turned their faces
toward the cotton fields of eastern
Texas and Oklahoma, where work
for all can easily be obtained. In
some parts of the west Texas dis
trict dusk finds as many as a dozen
of these emigrant camps in a single
3pile. n..,.n,,. and the
northern section of the state come
reports that similar caravans. remin
iscent of half a century ago, mark
the exodus of farmers from those
districts who are moving toward
Colorado and farther west.
The war has played its part with
the departing homesteader, but lack
of rain has been the real factor.

WILL AID WAR
CR|PPLES
NEW SOURCES OF PETROLEUM
SUPPLY DISCUSSED IN
DENVER

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. s.
When the war cripples begin to re-
turn from France there will be at
least n great American industry
striving to find a mans size place
for them in preference to others.
This was the tone of a session
held today by the American Insti-
tute of Mining Engineers in connec-
ton with their 117th meeting, at
which prominent men from all of
the country's mining centers are in
attendance.
Government cooperation with the
mining engineers has made feasible
some of the plans which the insti-
tute had for opening up opportuni-
ties in the mining field for men
wounded and crippled in the war.
This weeks meeting, which has
already developed many vital war
problems, assumed further wartime
color today when the engineers met
for a memorial service to those of
their number who have given their
lives In the service of the allies, to-
falling almost a score.
Early today the institute mem
bers took an automobile trip to the
top of Pixies peak and later visited
the Golden Cycle mills.
Petroleum, as regards a means
of conserving the national supply
and opening new sources of supply,
was the principal subject of techni
cal interest today. Mark l.. Requa,
petroleum administrator at Wash
ington, is in attendance at the in
stitute sessions.

Rubber News

Asked regarding Government restrictions on the importation of rubber, and the endeavor of tire manufacturers in co-Opera, ti0n with the Government to re- strict the manufacture of unnec- essary tire sizes, Mir. J. c. Wes- ton, Vice President and Director of Sales of the United States Tire Company said:
 The intention of the Govern ment in the control and restric tion of the importation of rubber is to conserve shipping space. the program that has been laid before the manufacturers of rub Der goods has won their unani- mous support for the War Trade Board and the Shipping Board.
 In addition. the manufac- .turers of tires are heartily co-op. eratlng with the Government program for the eveDtful elimi- nation of unnecessary tire sizes. This elimination will simplify the problem for each user of the mo- tor car of reducing his cost and
 
 making it possible for him to se- cure the tire size he needs, in good tires, more readily than the market and manufacturing con dItions now permit.
 "Plans for the withdrawal of certain tire sizes from use by manufacturers of motor cars will not in any way interfere with the manufacture and distribution oe tires to users who need those particular sizes at any time"

 MT. Weston called attention to the fact that the Government has not at the present time imposed any restrictions on the use of motor cars by the automobilists of the country, but has relied on the patriotism of the car. owners to exercise proper discretion in the use of their vehicles, with a view to conserving their cars and tires. Mir. Weston is of the opinicn that the motorists of the country can be trusted to cut down mere pleasure. riding to a minimum and to take every pos sible step to save tires, oil and gasoline.

This policy Of the Patrol Committee
which has been several times stated in
Manchester, where, in fact, the move
ment was started, was restated by Mr..
Trefz in forceful manner. After
wards pledge cards stating the pur-
poses and pledging the signer to work
with the legislature to securing laws
to these ends were circulated and
signed by nearly all.
Mr., Trefz Illuminated his talk with
many interesting facts drawa from his
wide experience in public affairs in
time of war and peace. Very inter
eating especially were the figures
showing the amount of legislation
passed by American states in compari-
son with laws passed in Great Britain
in similar periods What we need is
not more laws but few laws aimed
to such objects as those Of the Patrol
Committee. Vivid descriptions of
events and conditions in the area of
the war were given in illustration of
the speakers points.
The Vermont idea Was highly prais-
ed by the speaker The Patrol Com
mittee is a plan for every citizen to
constitute himself watcher and a
guard of public action. Although com
