Of 30 many physicians and attendants
spread through the hospital.
One singular fact about the theft is
that the missing tube is the only one
not insured. 1t was part of a collec-
ton of similar tubes worth thousands
of dollars, but all Of the others were
insured.
Radium Hard to Obtain =
The loss is more serious than d
mere theft of $4,000. Great as is the
cost of radum its value Is held higher
than money by physicians, 1t is also
almost unobtainable.
There are only three or four ounces
Of radium In the worlds stock. Mayo
Bros, of Rochester, Mimi, have the
largest private collection and that
amounts to only one grain in weight.
Because OF radium's value extreme
precautions are taken to guard sft
against loss by those who possess II.
Radium is said to be 200 times more
valuable than the highest quality dia-
monds and 200,O times more valuable
than pure gold.
Its healing rays are important In

even when the truck rolled pcrilously
near the edge of Il steep embaakmcnt

As Dolnn desperately struggled to get
the machine under control he could look

reached him it was found t.at. though
bruised and stunned. he was virtually
uuinmred, He was taken to the West
Philadelphia Homeopathic Hospital
After his injuries were dressed he was
able to 60 to his home.
Owing to the size of the moving van

$4,000 THEFT OF RADIU1M
rs PUZZLLNG TO DOCTORS
Tube Containing Rare and Valuable Mineral Missing UNI
persity Hospital Immediately After Use in
Cancer Treatment

Theft of fifty milligrams of radium,
valued at $4,000, stolen from the Uni
versity Hospital, presents puzzling
problem to the hospital authorities; :.
DR.. Henry X. Pancoast, the hospitals
radium expert, said today that there
was no doubt that the radium had been
stolen. He admitted that the question
as to who could have stolen 1t was a
perplexing one.
"An ordinary thief could not sell
the radium," said Doctor Pancoast.
He could find no one who would buy
it. He also could find no use for 1t.
Only n physician could make use of it. "
las suspicion narrowed down to a
physicianF' he was asked. @
eve have not gone far enough into
the investigation to suspect any one, "
he replied. ''All we know is that the
radium has been stolen"
Used in Cancer Treatment
The radium was in small gold tube
and was being used in cancer treat
ment at the hospital yesterday when
it disappeared. The tube was less than
an inch in length and about as thick
as match
Prominent physicians on the hospital
staff applied the radium and then, for
moment, laid it aside while complet-
ing the treatment.
In that moment the radium disap-
peared.
1t was at first thought that the tube
had been mislaid. Careful search was
made. 1t could not be found.
Then came the certainty tina. the
radium had been stolen and that some
one in the room or some one who had
managed to get into the room without
attracting attention had committed the
theft.

have been committed in the presence

Aid Asked for Foundlings.

The Washington Home for Found
lings. for almost ha'f century one
of the capitals worthy and note
worthy institutions, makes an appeal
to all the people who love children,
and, of course, such an appeal reaches
everybody. This is the first time since
its incorporation on April %, 1870,
that this home for foundlings has
called on the public to share in its
splendid work. 1t needs 100000
trifle among so many good people as
live in Washington-for the purpose
of making necessary repairs to the
city and country homes of the chill
dren. and to provide much needed
comforts for them. The home is non
sectarian and cares for all waits and
foundlings that may be intrusted to it
Since the founding of the home more
than 1000 little children have been
housed. fed, clothed and cared for,
and at present there are in the home
fifty children younger than five years.
These children have no friends ex-
cept the Washington Home for Found
lings, but all Washingtonians are
asked to become their friends.

The Victory Loan.

The last war loan is now before the
American public. Four great issues
have been taken, beyond the Treas
ury's requirements, under the inspira-
ton of the conflict The fifth should
be taken as well, under the inspira-
tion of the victory gained.
This fifth loan is a better invest
ment than any of the others. 1t is as
necessary to the government as its pre-
decessors. The money is as urgently
needed, even though the fighting has
ceased. The patriotic obligation of
the citizen to lend his money to the
United States is just as urgent now as
two years ago, when the American
forces were organizing.
"V," the symbol of the fifth loan,
stands also for victory. There should
be no Stacking now that the glorious
work in France has been finished.
Every one who has bought bonds of
the other issues should feel a compell-
ing requirement to complete the series,
to carry through" to the end. Let the
"" show on every breast, as sign
that the American people are as strong
in accomplishment as in endeavor.

The Senate and the Session.

Mr.. Martin, who will be their leader,
announces that the democrats of the
Senate will be ready for business in
time. All that is necessary in their case
is the rearrangement of their commit
tee assignments. Their slate can be
easily made up, and thei. recommen-
dations will prevail. The majority will
offer NO objections
In the matter of political maneuver-
ing@a very noteworthy and impor-
tant matter-the Senate during the
coming twelve months will be a more
interesting body than the House. The
republicans control by a majority of
tvo-a very slender control. Hence,
they must act with great caution, both
in revising House work, and in pre-
pairing work of their own. They must
stand together. Divisions might ball
up" party prospects for next year. So
called conservatives and so-called pro-
,stessives- must confer frequently as to
