I'VE do not think that the Maryland

question of eliminating undesirabies

Attorney General Armstrong has in
dicated that he would decline TO give
a blanket ruling on the legality OF

MADAGASCAR RICH
IN ORE Of RAD|UM
Move to Interest Treasure Seek
ers in frances Promising
Island Colony.

PARIS, March 15.-Following the
Paris municipal councils intention Of
buying two grammss of radium, Mon
sieur Laeroix. secretary OF the French
Academy OF Sciences. says that the
island of MAZDA ga scar. little known to
treasure seekers" IL properly exploit
ed would yield annually a quantity
OF radium sufficient for the needs of
France.
.i. Lacroix discovered rich minerals
In Madagascar years ago. and II Is in
these minerals, which he has named
"betahtes,' on account of the prox-
unity OF the town of Betafo, that he
nrst found radium. On returning to
Paris nobody would believe NJ. La
croix's report on his discovery, ami 1t
was not until 1912 that serious efforts
were made to extract minerals from
the island. In that year twenty-five
pounds of mineral were extracted and
in 1917 the amount of mineral ex-
tracted totaled more than seven tons.
The quantity Of radium found in these
minerals Is irregular, and taking the
unity of a milligramme per ton the
radium extracted realized zoo francs
per unity.
There are now in France factories
which refine these minerals and each
gramme OF the precious salt 10 today
worth about 1000. 900 francs. and an
active propaganda service Is to be
started to interest treasure seekers
in the mineral wealth OF France

Many people have raised the ques-

We can say in answer to this that rae
