RADIUM MAY BE FAC
TOR IN FUTURE WARS
Some Interesting Data - VIII
Run Ships-Energy Lasts
10000 Years.

The tremendous power of radiunf
which is attracting wide attention uA
late, is viewed by some authorities
as means to end wars, while to oth7
ers it appears as weapon for wars
of the future, thus proving again
that wars will be ended onlyeby q
change in the spirit of men, and not
by material means.
But back to the radium. A. dis
patch from Hattiesburg states this.-
That radium, more than anything
else, will alter the destinies of the
world, and that when the powers OF
the wonderful sustance become
known war will be an impossibility
was the declaration of r. ] Slay,
professor of chemistry at the Missis-
sippi Normal College, in an address
on the subject before members Of
the Kiwanis Club.
Professor Slay brought out his
point with many apt illustrations, de-
claring the energy of 'radium is ac-
tive for 10000 years, and pointing
out how great the total potential en-
ergy must be. Should the energy
of one gram of radium be released
all at one time, he asserted, the re-
sultant power would be sufficient to
raise in an instant from the water,
the battleships of all the navies Of
the world.
He stated that room painted with
radio-luminous paint would cost
$4OO, and that the light furnished
would last for fifteen years. One
ton of radium, used as motive power
in ship Of 1900 tons, would drive
it through the water for thirty years
at a speed of fifteen knots.
From Washington comes this
The efficiency performance of the
battleship Iowa during the recent
aerial bombing tests may lead to re-
volutionary changes in naval devel-
opment, officers believe. Without a
soul on board the Iowa was maneu-
vered from the battleship Ohio, hve
miles away with the utmost precis-
ion and there was not a hitch in the
mechanism in more than two hours
while the Iowa was being bombed.
1t was scientific triumph. The
Iowa was real flying Dutchman"

seas, as she obeyed the will of Capt.
F. L. Chadwick on the Ohio, almost

So perfectly did the control func-

were being relased, varying the
speed of the target vessel at will.
Army and navy officers who wit
messed the test were much impressed
by the possibilities of development
of the radio control idea for use in
future wars.

SENATE BILL WOULD
RECLAIM STUMP LAND
Would Create Reclamation Dis
trict of Cut-Over and
Swamp Sections.

]. Ed Ruff, director of Federal
Farm Demonstration work in Missis-
sippi, has just returned from Wash
ington, d. c., where he has been for
the past week working in behalf Of
the Bankhead Reclamation bill. BY
special request Mr.. Ruff went before
the Senate Committee, in charge of
this bill for the purpose of advising
as to conditions in Mississippi and
more especially as to the stump lands
of South Mississippi, and the cut-ov-
er sections of the great Mississippi
Delta.
In the Bankhead bill Mr.. Ruff
who made close study of South
Mississippi conditions sees only a
practical solution for putting the
cut-over lands into a state of culti-
vation at any time in the near fu-
ture.
The Bankhead bill does not con-
template buying one acre of land
from anyone When farmers or
home seekers desire to improve any
considerable acreage of stump land
or overfowed stump land, this area
will by legal process be declared a
reclamation district. The govern
ment will then proceed to remove
the stumps and drain such lands as
need draining and allow the individ-
ual land owner to repay the cost of
removing stumps on the amortized
plan which would distribute the cost
over long period of years and the
annual per acre assessment would be
very small.
Mr.. Ruff said that the possibilities
of the vast acres of cut-over lands
in South Mississippi are such that
they have attracted national atten-
tion. The Senate committee showed
an unusual interest in the testimony
of Mr.. Ruff in regard to the poten-
tialities of these lands.

Family Wiped Out BY Fire.

Summit, Miss, July 1.-THE
charred bodies of Joseph James, his
wife and their three small children
were found today in the embers Of
their home at Ryals Settlement, 1S
miles from here.
The condition of the bodies was
such that those who visited the
house said there was no means of
knowing whether the tragedies were
the result of crime or accident How
ever they point to the fact that the
corpse of one child was in sitting
position in bed as suspicious.
Neighbors said they saw the blaze
about midnight, but did not investi-
gate until this morning.
James was 35 years old, was a re-
spected citizen and had no enemies
in the community, so far as known.
Ryals' Settlement is on the branch
railroad line of the Denkman Lum-
ber Company and communication
with the place is difficult. Officers
left here this afternoon to make an

CHAOTIC CONDITION

Daily Tragedies Followed Upon the
Resumption of Free Trade
(Ry The Associated Press)

RIGA, Latvia, July 9.-The chaotic
conditions and daily tragedies that fol-
lowed upon the resumption of free
rade are described graphically by
writer for the MOSCOW Isvestia who
mas just made a trip, through the
Ukraine.
The peasants, he says, carrying sacks
Of grain or other food to the cities
are literally overwhelming the rail-
ways. He thus describes the appear
ance Of one of the trains coming into
Kiev:
along the tracks is crawling a huge
grey caterpillar, train covered all
over with the grey masses of food car
riers. From beneath these masses
neither cars nor locomotives can be
distinguished. The grey mass covers
everything, the car roofs, the steps
and even the spaces between cars. Ev-
cry available nook is occupied. Every
thing is filled up. Only when the train
begins to slow down nearing the Kiev
station it begins to shed its grey fleece.
Little by little, while yet in motion, the
locomotive and car roofs begin to I'M
cover.
AT Kiev all outbound trains are
literally pasted all over with people.
On the locomotive, cars, firewood

nail or crevice. Those who have been
fortunate enough to get a place on a
brake platform are looked upon as ia
vorites of fortune who are comforsa-
ole for their whole trip.
y THE departure of every train is ac-
companied by lamentations, walls, cry
Ing, shooting and all kinds of acct
Tents. When the train is beginning to
get in motion those who have been
to board it and those who have been
sorcibly removed from it start mad
rushes for 1t again. The military de-
tachments, whose duty It is to main
tain order during the boarding OF
trains, run after the trains pulling
down some of the surplus passengers
who have managed to fasten on TO
them, while from others caps are pull
ed off and SO on.
"One of the results Of this state of
affairs is that porters take $4,000 TO
100000 rubles for a guaranteed
place on the train.
Another result is that the Kiev
railway shops every month have to
make about 800 collins for food carri-
ers who have been run over by the
Grains.''
