PoWer of Radium

THE gamma" rays from radium are SO
i powerful that they will penetrate vir-
tually every known substance. To human
flesh orother live tissue they are very de-
structive.
It is this. tendency of the rays to destroy
tissue, SAYS the United States Bureau of
Standards, that makes them valuable in the
treatment of cancer and for certain other
surgical purposes. For while both healthy
and diseased tissues are attacked by the
rays, their destructive effect upon diseased
tissues is much greater and more rapid.
Thus If the patient is treated for exactly
the right length of time the diseased tissue
will be destroyed while the healthy tissue is
not much injured. Obviously, to accomplish
q satisfactory result the surgeon must exer-
else the highest degree of skill and must
employ the radium with utmost caution.
There is always danger ko the laboratory
worker in dealing with this formidable sub
stance unless the most careful precautions
are taken, and under no circumstances should
any person be continually exposed to its
rays.

Ready-Made Roast

THERE Is in these days a never failing
demand for anything that will make the
work of the housewife easier. So many
people live in fats, or do light house
keeping in even more restricted quarters;
servants wages are\so high and, of course,
nermust have an automobile though meals
be irregular.
Hence the usefulness of a new kind of
ready-made roast which has been patented
by "a Chicago man, John F. Waters. 1t
ought to be mighty good.
He calls it a Stood roll,' and, as de.
scribed by him, it consists of n series of
lengthwise slices of beef tenderloin, alter
mated with slices of fat, and formed into a
cylindrical shape, tightly tied.
The idea is that the housewife, buying
such. a<roll at the delicatessen shop, has a
ready made roast that requires no prepnra-
ton for cooking. All she has to do is to
put ii. into the oven of her gas range. and
with a proper allowance of time, it will be
fit to appear on the dinner table as an ap.
pctizing piece de resistance.

For the Comfort Of Babu AutOists

AFTER all, Baby is the most important
- member of the family, and proper pro-
vision for his comfort should be made in the
automobile.
This is accomplished by a newly invented
centriyance, which is in. effect a baby car
riage that can..be set inside of a motorcar. 1t
is SO adjusted rs to provide an easy riding
seat-or couch when needed-for the infant,
being mounted in such fashion that the
shock and jar of travel will not be COM
municated to Il.
The front part of the baby. carriage hangs
by. two substantial hooks from the robe
rail; the back part is supported by a pair
OF vertical hollow pipe standards fastened
to the floor Of the car and connected near
their lower ends by a third and horizontal
piece Of ,pipe.
- vertical bar. descending from the rear
portion halfway to the car floor. has its
lower end connected with the floor by q
spring, and with the above mentioned stand
ards by two other springs. Thanks to these
springs, which absorb shocks, comfort for
tho little passenger is insured.
Beneath the seat of the baby carriage is
a slide which, moving in horizontal guides,
can be pushed forward when it is desired
to elevate the child's legs and convert the
affair into a couch whereon the infant mas
repose recumbent.

Tricks an Architect Plays on Us

Tall columns must be made with a con-
siderable bulge. If their outer lines were
straight they would look shrunk in the mid
die. In the columns of the Parthenon this
bulge amounts to three quarters of an inch.
The long lines of the beam which sur
mounts a row Of columns would appear to
sag if they were straight, To satisfy the
eye--i. e., to look straight--they must be
curved,
The stories Of building to look of equal
height, must increase in height as they 90 up.
On one famous temple in the Orient there
is an inscription with its letters arranged
vertically but to make the letters appear
of equal sine they are increased in size
progressively toward IL top.
The ancient cathedrals scattered over Eu-
rope are full of such cxpedients of illusion.
and from those sources our modern archi
tects have acquired many Of the hints on
which their own designs are based.

4 TO0thless Race In India

TOOTHLESS babies are familiar. We
L make allowance for their edentate ap-
pcarance because we know that they really
do possess teeth, almost ready to sprout.
If a child were never to develop any teeth
at oil, and to remain through life what sci
entists would call an 'apodont,'' how un-
pleasant it would be!
That is exactly what happens in the case
of a type of men native to a town called
Hydcrahad Sind. in India. They are
Hindus, always have remarkably bald heads
and are toethless through life.
These men are known US Bhudas,' which
means ''toothless." Their women, oddly

The answer is that the approach OF sleep

TN THE construction Of any large build
ling where effectiveness to the eye has to
be considered the architect who knows his
business takes into view certain illusions
ct the eye, Thus, for example, q diminish
ing tower can be made to look higher BY de-
c~reasing the size Of it's successive portions
more rapidly.
All Of what we call perspective is Of
course, illusion. Where two objects Of equal
size are concerned the more distant one looks
smaller. A straight railroad track seems to
meet at a point in the distance. All the
principles Of optics that apply to architecture
are based upon illusion.

trait among them.
When a Bhuda man marries a girl whose
parents are both free from the defect, all Of
the children resulting from the mating are
properly provided with teeth. But when
the daughter of a Bhuda marries a normal
man their female children are normal, while
the sons are toothless.
1t is through such marriages that the
toothless characteristic is pcrpetuated from.
generation to generation. 1t is evidently an
Inheritance trait that remains latent in the
female offspring of a Bhuda.

The great new cathedral of st. John the
Divine, in New York City, makes extensive
use of illusion for it's effect. Recourse must
be had to such expedients, else things would
not look right. Curves are introduced to
produce the effect of straight lines, and SO on
almost ad infinitum.
The ~ancients understood this sort of thing
wonderfully well, Take, for instance, the
famous Parthenon at Athens. Its superb
columns look as if vertical and parallel, but
in reality they are inclined toward one
another SO much that, if they were continued
upward, they would meet at the height of

"We will defer to you and two rep

We would greatly appreciate state
ment from you as to whether or not
packers will preserve status hereto
fore existing pending your mediatory
efforts. We also respectfully suggest
that you arrange to nave the packers
principals present, the telegram said.

port back to their employers before
making decisions were sent to the
meetings." Mr.. Lane explained. I'VE
wish to keep anything like that from

Word came from Washington that
Attorneys James G. Condor and Carol
Meyer of Chicago had arrived to rep

Davis.
Others on the mediation board will
be Secretary of Commerce Herbert

1t was announced at the headquar-
ters of the union that Samuel Com
pers will be here to speak at a mass
meeting of employees and to attend
session of their representatives, at
which definite plan of action in fight
ing the pay cuts will be decided on.
The unions announced they plan an

at Is the old game of a company
union wherein Mr. Armour and other
packers will put up men who will pose
as the representatives of their fellow
workers." he said. ''We're satisfied
that the packers are not going to get
away with this fake democracy. There
is no more chance of the men stand
ing for this than there would be for

GREAT EMPIRE
GOES To FRANCE
Treaty With Turkey Called Big
Victory for Paris.
BAGDAD RAILWAY INCLUDED
kaiser,s Ambitious Dream for "Mit-
tel Europa" Is Realized by the
French Republic, says Well
Informed Authority.

Paris, March 14.-''The greatest vic
tory French Imperialism has won since
Napoleon's conquest of Austria"
In these words high neutral diplo-
mat summed up the significance of the
Franco-Turkish separate peace, which
will be signed in Paris by Easter.
Under the treaty France becomes
the absolute owner within Turkish
boundaries of the famous Bagdad rail-
way, thereby realizing for France the
kaiser's ambitious dream of "mittel
Europa"
Has Line to Constantinople.
The enormous strategic Importance
of the Bagdad line can be understood
when it is remembered that France
already possesses a direct line from
Paris to Constantineple, while she is
heavily backing the creation of q new
railroad scheduled to run from Danzig
via Prague to Budapest, Bucharest,
Sofia ard then to Turkey, which,
though not touching Germany or Rus
STA, will traverse the countries of the
''little entente" which was founded
and fostered by astute French diplO-
macy and aided by the Roumanian
wizard statesman, Take Jonesca.
In other words the possession of
the Bagdad railroad will give France
the key to the Near East, hitherto
held by the British navy in the OAR
danelles, making her independent Of
her British ally as regards creating a
market for French commerce in Tur-
key and Asia.
Conflicts With Britain.
While this agreement conflicts with
the British interests, especially as re-
CARDS petrol, observers here believe
that Premier Lloyd George was driven
to consent to France scrapping the
Sevres treaty and signing separate
peace with Turkey owing to the strong
agitation in England against the
enormous expense of $6O,O00,O0O for
British occupation of Mesopotamia
provided in this years British budget,
which, at the same time does not pro-
vide a single penny's relief for the
taxpayers.
On the other hand, if England moves
out of MesOpotamia now it will
amount to free gift of Turkey to
France, because Great Britain cannot
hope to enforce terms on the Turks
contrary to those contained in the
Franco-Turkish treaty without alien
ating herself from France, on whom
she depends to keep a strong front
against the United States.
