LONDON. Nov. 2i.--With rioting in
Relfast and Bombay and trouble feared
IN Cairo due to the failure of the ne
rotiations for an Egyptian settlement,
The three centers OF disturbance in the
British Empire are again attracting
grave attention.
The renewal of the rioting in Bel

s;)led. marked the fifth successive day
- the disorders. Armored cars have

Fresh Irish Plan Rnmored
The situation will be discussed by
Sir James Craig, the Ulster Premier.
and Premier Lloyd George when the
latter returns to London tomorrow.
Mr.. Lloyd George is said TO be con-
semplating fresh proposal to Sir

frontier, but the two must first explore
the remaining possibilities for an a'l-
Ireland settlement which the Sim Fem
still holds essential.
While the Premier needs to be free

the governments course in sending the
Prince of Wales to India. The Indian
Office, however, points out that the

Bombay. whereas the Prince was re-
ceived enthusiastically everywhere by
enormous crowds, especially in Poona,
where he moved about freely on the

Nine. CURE AT PITTSBURGH WILL
SEE HOW TONS OF ORE AND
CHEMICAL PRODUCE ONE
THIMBLEFUL OF RADIUM.

The production of radium on the
largest scale in the world, at Pitts
burgh, will be one of the sights
shown to MN. Marie Curie of Paris,
the famous scientist who discovered
the wonder-element, when she makes
her first visit to America next May
as the guest Of leading American
women, who will present her with
one gram of radium worth 100000.
A fact not generally known is that
the United States now is producing
more than 80 per cent of the whole
wor Ids radium, the former small
Eur opean production having fallen to
negligible proportions. The bulk of
the American output originates from
the vast deposits in the Wilderness
Of Colorado and Utah of "carnotite"
ore, which is shipped via pack-mules,
wagon freighters, motor trucks and
railroads to Pittsburgh, where it is
reduced and treated by complicated
and little-known processes to pro-
duce the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS radium
salts.
The ore is shipped to Pittsburgh by
hundred-tons and the finished pro-
duct of radium is delivered by mail.
Nine. Curie will see in Pittsburgh
at the plant of the Standard Chemi-
cal Company 500 tons of "carnotite"
ore and 1900 tons additional of chem
icals and coal used to produce the

Washington.-The visit to the Unit
ed States of Rene Viviani, former Pre-
mier of France, has a significance far
deeper than the cOlorless authoritative
statements on the subject have indi-
Gated.
The visit Of the former Premier TO
the White House was brief and cere-
monial. On that occasion NJ. Viviani
was also accompanied by NJ. JUS
serrand, who introduced him to Presi-
dent Harding. The formal speeches
changed. Afterward George L. Chris
tian, Jr., the secretary to the Presi-
dent, gave to the press the following
statement:
IN. Viviani called to pay the COM
pliments and utter the good wishes of
the President of France to the Presi-
dent. He was accompanied by the
French ambassador, NJ Jusserand. NJ.
Viviani emphasized the desire of
France to continue the friendship be-
tween the two republics and express
ed gratitude to America for the great
things done since his previous visit
The purposes Of the former Pre-
mier's mission are twOfold. lie is
here to pay visit of courtesy and TO
obtain and exchange information mu-
tually advantageous to France and the
United States. Ii Is evidently the
hope of the French government that
before he completes his American visit,
NJ. Viviani will have obtained Ii true
understanding of the attitude Of the
United States toward European and
world problems.

with by American admirers. Six
months work is required from the
mining of the 'cal notite" ore until
the delivery of the pure radium, and
the single gram for Nine. Curie
represents nearly a months output
of radium by this greatest of radium-
p. oducing p ants at Pittsburgh.
A westei trip that will take Nine.
Curie to Colorado, where within an
area of about 400 square miles en-
gineers estimate there is enough
"carnotite" ore to produce radium to
meet the worlds increasing uses for
years to come, is scheduled on the
tentative itinerary of the distin-
guished woman scientist, who ex-
pressed the wish to visit the Grand
Canyon as well as Pittsburgh. The
coming Of Nine. Curie is the result
of a visit to her in Paris last sum-
mer of Mrs William Brown Meloney,
editor of The Delineator," who found
that the discoverer of the price
less boon TO humanity not only had
never profited thereby. but that she
rs supporting herself by the small
income of a scientific instructor at
the Sorbonne University and did not
herself own a bit Of the precious
radium that she gave the world.
When asked what she would choose
if the whole world were laid at her
set, Nine. Curie answered: "Only
this: enough rad;um to carry on my
" ok here at the Institute. should
like to have a gramme Ct radium
which would be not for hospital use
or any ether use than experimental
tion"

American women quickly organized
to arrange for the gift; prominent
America responded and subscriptions
were invited to the ''Mme Marie
Curie Radium Fund.-" of which the
Equitable Trust Company in New
York is the depository. Americas
most prominent women, distinguish
ed scientists and leading organiza-
tions will join in paying honor to
Nine. Curie, who will be accompanied
by her elder daughter, Irene, also a
scientist.
At Pittsburgh special preparations
will be made to demonstrate the
latest American methods by which
the bulk of radium is being added to
the worlds supply. The entire
worlds annual production Of radium
is about one ounce, or % grams, Of
which the Pittsburgh plant produces
Is grams. The worlds total supply
of radium produced since its dis
covery by Nine. Curie in 1898 up to
the close Of 1920, is estimated at
l40 grams, or about five ounces, of
which the Standard Chemical Com
pany plant at Pittsburgh has con-
tributed 20 grams.
Inasmuch as radium is practically
indestructible and non-perishable,
losing but one-half of it's activity in
100 years, all production adds to
the worlds permanent supply, and
though its successful use in treat
Hent of cancer and other malignant

PEACE IN EUROPE

conditions are reversed. The United States is
technically at war with Germany, while Europe
is, on paper. in a stale of profound peace.

satisfy any moderate requirements, while in Europe
the turmoil of pre-armistice days has merely been
