Scientist Predicts Radium to Extend
 Life 100 Years

tContinued from Page OneJ
 man life Twenty-two of the 14O springs at Saratoga are radio active and for centuries the Indians brought their old chiefs and warriors there for treatment The curative results of the springs for rheumatism and diseases of old age were long ago noted The same things is true of the hot springs in Arkansas and Colorado and most of the European spas. radium is administered in sugar coated pellets through the mouth. Instead of in jected into the veins, better results can be obtained by concentrating the dos age -
 "A series of tests on both animals and human beings has developed that the therapeutic effects of adium, ad-
 ninistered intravenous1y can be trac- ed for period of twelve weeks It is probably possible to trace the ef- fects of radiun1 pills for three or four days For a case of rheumatism low dosage may be good, but when a patient ts> brought in on a stretcher he needs an enormous amount of radio active energy.
 "Radium, of course. Is not q drug but a physical agency It develops alpha, beta and gamma rays, which give every tissue of the body the st1n- ulus of explosive electrical lombard | 1t were-which bring the bodily secre- tions back to normal I have seen the

MISS FRIED AGAIN WRITES
 TO PRESIDENT

New York, Oct. 14-Another chap ter of the correspondence between President Harding and Miss Ella L. Freed concerning the coming confer ence on limitation of armament was made public today by Miss Freed" who added that the President had mis- read her name, which really is Mrs. Ella L. Fried.
 The President made public on We'd nesday letter in response to one from her in which he gave his first extended public outline of what he hoped to see achieved at the confer ence.
 Mrs. Fried said she had written reply urging him to propose reduc- ton by one half of present ornaments. The letter read:
 "I asked you what you meant by reasonable limitation You say you mean something practicable.' That Is exactly the same thing you said be- fore In other words. Synonyms are not definitions.
 Permit me to ask you whether you consider a reduction of the worlds military burdens by one half reason able or practicable? If every one of the nations at the conference agreed to reduce it's armament one half, their great as before. That is clear, I hope.'' Then why not suggest one half re- ducton? When that has been done. the women of the world will furnish you further suggestions as to what is reasonable and practicable"
 Mrs. Fried. aged twenty-three lives in Pittsburgh. She has been. serving as a speaker for the Citizens Disarma- ment Committee.

Again Postpone
 Haskins Case

Another postponment of two weeks was granted during the short calendar session of Superior court, heard be- fore Judge Frank D. Haines, when the divorce action of Earle Brooks HoSkins against Fannie Ross Momand HosklnS was called. At the same time the court ordered that an allow ance of $50 for counsel for the plain tiff be paid within two weeks, and 1t seems probable that the case will come to trial before a great length of time.
 Hoskins for number of years car ried the title of treasurer. secretary and manager of the Bridgeport Morris Plan company, being put in charge when Harris l.. O'Brien relinquished the position to enter the service. Early this week an election of officers for the Morris Plan company was an nounced, and it was noted that Hos kins has not been re-elected. Present indications are that the divorce action will be strongly contested and in- terestlng developments are not en- tirely unexpected, E-

Merchant Ships
 Are Necessity
 Says Benson

Cincinnati. Oct. 11-"America car- not afford to be caught as she was during the last great war" said Ad- nliral Benson, U. s. N, at discovery day exercises conducted by the Knights of Columbus here last night.
 The army and navy always will need auxiliary fleets to transport men, material. supplies and ammunition in times of war and to. strengthen our merchant marine In times of peace,'' Admiral Benson continued. Every merican should be brought to realize the situation that must face our. nation if our merchant marine is ternitted to disintegrate." Refer ring to recent bombing plane tests conducted off the Atlantic coast, Ad- miral Bensan said:
 Tine planes were flying so close to the ships that. during actual warfare any one of a group of trained marine snopers on board the vessels could have picked off the pilots in the planes. It is absurd to imagine that our ships would move about unpro- tected and permit hostile aircraft to approacz~ as close as the planes did during the tests.
 The f7oating forts are not so easily taken anH are hardly to be lowed be- heath huttering plane so that they might be demolished by; bombs" Admiral Benson will return to Wash ington tomorrow

Indian Legends Is Subject
 For Lecture

Miss Annie Beecher Scoville proved herself a very delightful speaker and when she lectured before the mem bers of the Bridgeport. Art League yesterday afternoon, on the subject of Indian Legends
 Miss Scoville. who is a grand6augh- ter of Henry Ward Beecher and a graduate of Wellesley col1egeeand OxA ford univerity, showed her tho1ough Knowledge of the history of tbH In dian race when she told the ads of the brigham of a great nanJ. he tribes. =
 'Language,'' she said, twas t. ed because of the need forA ng things. This IS true from the very beginning of the world. To. begin with the Indians had very few words but used them all to express them selves and for missing words they supplemented actions.S- After a while a name was found for the action and by the constant repetition of this every other language were built up.''
 The head of each large Indian fam fly or tribe has certain story about his family, which he tells to each else can tell no matter how well he knows it. At the death of the chief the story passes to the succeeding head and son on goes down 70 poster ity. By her interest Miss ScovIlle influenced several of the chiefs to tell her the stories, so she might tell them to the people of the world. They cen sented because they knew that this white woman was in sympathy with them and could probably tell the legend much better than they could do so. Thus the speaker came into the possession of many weird, roman tic and thrilling tales. One of the most interesting stories in the group were. "Why the shumack turns red in the fall"
 Miss Scoville will appear at four more lectures at the Art League dur Ir,or fan nd 11rirntR

Atwater Leads But
 Cullinan Is Urged
 To Become Candidate

CContinued From Page One.)
 withdrawn having handed in a writ ten statement to that effect Frank D. Anderon is still in the race.
 A strong effort to induce former City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan tc
 become a candidate was made today. The desire was evidenced by visits from committees of delegates who
 urged MT. Cullinan to run.
 MT Cullinan's answer was that he
 has not been a candidate, that he that he would not accept 1t except upon the expression of very clear
 desire upon the part of the conven- tion.
 Although the remainder of the ticket has not been selected there are men who are certain of being 1nclud- ed in the list. The position of can didate for city clerk seems to rest be- tween Francis Dunnegan and Joseph
 Clabby. of the ninth and twelfth re-
 spectively.
 Lawrence Gill is almost sure of be-
 ing named one of the tax assessors, with Gallag gher and Aaron Wltsteln also strong candidates. The fact that Witstein comes from the fifth district will undoubtedly work against him as | this is also Atwater's district and two men from the same place will some what weaken the vote getting strength of the slate.
 Edward Drew of the sixth and Jo-
 seph Weller of the eighth, are the
 leading figures talked of for tax col lector. For town clerk there seems | to be a big demand for the nomina- 1 tton of a woman, but if Weller is not | the choice of the convention for the | tax office he may be put in as town clerk. For city treasurer there seems | to be an almost unanimous feeling
 that Robert Goddard is the man for | the office.
 The Democrats are determined to 1 have a we'll balanced ticket. Most of 1 the men who are being considered have always shown an interest in pOli- 1 tics. but are not politicians The Headers of the party reply on such a | ticket to obtain the votes of many Republicans who are disgusted by the fact that the same office holders have been named once more by the Republicans.
