The radium chloride and, at later
stage, of the bromide, most of the
radium is obtained in salt contain
ing over 80 per cent of pure radium
bromide. BY still further chemical
treatment the bromide is converted
into the sulphate or the chloride, and
in the therapeutic use of radium these
two salts find the largest use"
Nine. Curie, several years ago by
general request, fixed an international
radium standard. This is deposited
In Paris and the leading cities of the
world have replicas of 1t. So now
radium preparations are measured by
comparing the electrical energy car
ried by their gamma rays with that
of the international standard. While
radium has still many mysteries, 1t
may be said for the benefit of the
general public that its energy appears
to be given Off in three rays, which
are known as the Alpha, Beta and
Gamma rays. 1t is stated that the
Alpha and Beta rays are electrical
and that the Gamma ray is rather
vibration than ray. The Alpha ray
is believed to comprise 80 per cent
of radium's activity; it travels with
about the speed of light and has no
penetrative power. The Beta ray is
about 10 per cent of the activity,
travels with about lilo the speed of
light and can penetrate about an inch
and one-fifth of lead. The Gamma
rny can penetrate more than three
inches of lead; when 1t strikes hard
substance 1t breaks up into two rays
corresponding to the Alpha and Beta
rays.
1t is the Gamma ray that is used
in blOodless surgery. The Alpha ray
does not burn The Beta ray is kept
from the patient by n screen that alb
serbs it. The Gamma ray seems to
have the peculiar quality of picking
out useless or harmful tissues for Its
first attack; it will harm useful tis-
sues only after harmful tissues have
been burnt away or dissolved. Radi-
um is handled in glass tubes incased
in lead containers. Those who handle
it constantly usually get pretty badly
burned sooner or later. Flesh burned
oy radium cannot be healed; it simply
disappears and is gone. One of Nine.
Curie's hands has been affected and
her general health has been under
mined by intensive wartime work with
radium.
A gram of radium makes small
thimbleful. Its current price is Sl2O.-
600. A gram is divided into thous-
and parts, each of which is called a
millicram and sells for S12O. Physi-
clans who use it have from so to 2o0
milicrams. The state of New York
has recently purchased 2A grams for
use In the treatment of cancer.

Against Transfer.
Sentiment inside congress is
strongly against any such trans
ference and President Harding has
been known to hold the view that
the foreign loans made by the
United States to the allies were a
valued asset. There isn't the slight
est chance Of America agreeing to
the German proposal for a trans
ference Of the debts even though the
allies may so desire. On the other
hand, can America avoid saying SO
and thus puncturing as unaccept-
able at least one clause in the Ger
man reparation proposal?
That's the question which IS being
discussed among diplomats and il
will not be surprising il this par
ticular dilemma had as much to dc
with the hesitation Of the depart
ment of state to forward the German
proposals to the allies as the appar
emit unwillingness Of the allies tf
receive the German note at this
time.
