Precious Salt,

What is known as "radium" Is a
radium salt. usually either radum
bromide or radium chloride. some
times radium sulphate. Tiny grains
of these salts are extremely precious
and are usually sealed up in little glass
bulbs.
The radium In one of the first bulbs
that were received in London had a
curious history. A physician in Port
land place was applying the bulb TO a
patient when he accidentally let it fall.
and a moment after crushed 1t under
his foot. The value of the radium to
the physician was very great. He re-
moved his boots from his feet and cut
out a square OF his valuable carpet.
He had boots and carpet burned. and
out of the ashes refined the original

VANDERBILT SAYS WAR SITUATION
 STILL SERIOUS

Washington. June Crank A Nanderlip, former president of the National City Bank of New York told the Pan-American conference here yesterday that trading between South America and Europe could not be resumed as formerly for some time to come, the situation overseas lis more serious than has been grasped on this continent or even by a large portion of the Europeans themselves"
 Europe" said Mir. Vanderlip, "has received such a shock as canot be measured by those who have not seen it at close range. Men all over the country are idle. The disorders are result of want, idleneSS and reyolu- ton and cannot be confined to any one locality. Do not think that I am predicting a conflagratfon in Europe but l believe that continent now is balanced upon a knife edge and that the future alone can tell whether or not there will be a conf1agration.
 Aid can and must be given. The help must be to restock the industries. Only it's own people can save Europe. by the sweat of their .brows and by labor. The difficulty comes in starving them. Men are being supported by the millions in Europe by unempIoy- ment gold as they are earning no wages. In England alone. more than a million men are drawing S6,0OO. 900 weekly from the unemployment fund. In Belgium the conditions are similar. There is no labor.
 This gloomy picture is true. and a catastrophe may come out of the pres ent situation which will affect us all If the catastrophe is averted, as I be- lieve it will be, the position of those countries of this hemisphere which are rich in resources and unharmed by war, is of supreme importance
 Europe cannot live except on in dustry with the present population. The industrial cycle must be resumed A responsible minister of England said to me that if industries of Europe were speedily resumed, if the British workshops cannot speedily supply fin ished products to European countries, the government must export five or six million Englishmen.
 Europe must have help. We of this hemisphere must grant it and it must be in material things needed, so that Europe can save herself"

SAYS ENGLAND GAN HAVE TRADE OF
 SOUTH AMERICA

London, June 6-Belief that Great Britain can have the trade of South America for the asking despite the competition which the United States has built up there during the war, was expressed by Gordon Ross, for merly financial editor of the Buenos Aires Standard, in an address he de livered here recently. Mir. Ross Is quoted as saying that there is in some South American republics a jealous fear of the extension of the influence of the United States; and he repeated the statement that it had been cynically said in South America that the Monroe Doctrine meant not so much America for the Ameri- cans as America for North Ameri- cans"
 MT. Ross told his hearers that Brit ish neglect of advertising in South America had an important effect upon their trade; that it was inn portant that catalogues should be published in the language of the people and that prices should be quot ed in the currency of the country.
