her intention to yisit the United States gave rise to the movement on the part of American women to sup ply Madame Curie with a gram of radium worth s100,0O0 which shall be "all her own. This will enable her to continue her researches along curative lines when she returns 10 Paris
 Science Revolutionizcd.
 Dr. Robert Abbe. a New York stir geon, who worked Wears ago along side of Mme. Curies in her Paris laboratory, recently declared that rc other woman had ever pursuej d trail into an unknown jungle and brought to light such an "unsus- pected new factor which had had such a revolutionary influence in science" He said she did not stumble on. radium by chance
 Educated in chemistry and physics, she possessed, he said, 'the domi- hating will, the zeal in pursuit, the indefatigable working power, the self-sacrificing bravery. The same forces which made it possible for Peary to reach the North Pole, car ried this explorer into an unknown wilderness. Every year new chap ter has to be written about this wonderful substance"
 The discovery of radium came about ip this wise: Professor Roent. gen, German scientist. announced his discovery of the X-Ray in 1885 These rays-~possessed the property of emitting radiations of a special character which were able to pene- trated through matter opaque to or dinary light.
 Details Of Search.
 A year later H. Becquerel, a French physicist, observed that cer- tain uranium preparations emitted rays resembling those discovered by Roentgen. Becquerel rays became the new wonder and by delicate tests were proved to be electrical. Thus began the search for the new element and every form of uranium in laboratories was tested
 Mime. Curie at this point diverged from the search of other chemists. She went to Carlsbad where pitch blende had been mined for a cen tury for the extraction of uranium in making Bohemian glass and beau tiful dyes. Around the mines she found 50 tons of refuse, an analysis of which proved it to be four times as strong in Becquerel rays as the uranium which had been taken from the ore. Mime. Curie by long and tedious process of extracting lead, silver. tin, bismuth and other metal lie substances from the pile of refuse dissolved the mass until the resi- due was 60 times . stronger than uranium. Dr. Abbe says of this:
 "This small remnant glowed in the dark All but two metals had been eliminated. These were known to have the slightest radioactivity Therefore, there could be but one conclusion-M Curie was facing a mysterious new force" Two years later she was able, to announce it's discovery and her method of extract ing 1t from the ore.

for the present at least Canadian merchants will not attempt to nil orders for fresh fruits and vege. : aDles that are grown in the United States even though carried on bona tide Canadian stocks by the whole salers. With every local merchant ordering such supplies from Van Couyer only one shipment was re- cclN ed and it, it is understood, con tained no goods of American origin Orders for eggs, butters and similar provisions, including canned milk and flour were filled completely. Let tcrs were received by Juneau mer- chants explaining that it was i'm possible to ship American raised produce from Canada to Alaska or account of the provisions of section 27, of the so-called Jones law.
 Traffic Instructions.
 General Agent R. F. Richardson of the Canadian Pacific Company re ceived the following notice from Vancouver this morning from com pany headquarters: .
 Orders have been received
 from Ketchikan and Juneau l business houses part of which
 consist of American goods such
 as oranges, lemons, new pota-
 toes, etc. These orders can not be filled in full. Under the Jones bill wholesale houses
 cannot ship such commodities from Vancouver to Alaska on
 foreign bottoms. It does not make any different if these
 goods are entered in Canada
 and duty paid and reshipped to Alaska as Canadian goods.
 Under the Jones bill if they
 originate in the United States
 they cannot be handled to AL
 aska on foreign bottoms"
 This states the situation clearlS and concisely and shows just how our company is affected" said MT Richardson. "If the operation of tho law can be suspended, we will bt able to transport sufficient supplie. for every need But as long as tn, law is operative, it seems inevitable to expect certain shortages of com modities only obtainable in Canad; from American markets"

PHOENIX. April l3.-Following the receipt Of complaints by purchasers of bread that loaves sold as ib. .cayes were found to be marked "l5 ounces" and that loaves sold as 20 ounce loaves were found to be marked "ls ounces average" State Inspector Raymond Dyas. of the weights and measures department. has called at ;ention of bakers to the state law covering the marking of the true ..ci.ht os the loaves on label or on the wrapper
 The law is specific" states Inspec- tor Dyas. and provides that the correct net weight of tine loaf must be marked on the loaf. label or wrap per. and also makes it misdemeanor to represent bread, or any other com mod.ty. as weighing more than il ac- ,Gaiiy does weigh. net
 A loaf of bread marked l5 ounces must be sold AS weighing 15 ounces and no more or less. Nor can loaf Of bread marked "1S ounces average" be sold as weighing 2o ounces. even though f may actually weigh 20 ozs. In other words. the bread must he sold as weishiug exactly the amount mark ed oa la5ei or wrapper. and the law proTiding for the marking of the true net weight on label or wrapper, ,o- sether with all city sealers of weights and measures"
 An allowance of ! per cent in weight for shrinkage is made on all loaves of bread over one day old. and 10 per cent on ali loaves over two days old. adds Inspector Dyas. provided the age Of the bread be also marked on label or wrapper Bread more than three days old must be marked and sold as stale bread"

 In addition to the above. Germany has been steady buyer of American copper for some time. Estimated by selling interest that her daily talk ings during the past few weeks have ranged between 50000O and one mil lion pounds The transactions have been for cash excep; in isolated in stances. where barter has been the basis. The strides made by Germany in regaining it's position as one of the best customers of American Cop per producers could not better be emphasized than in exports of 51.- lzs.o4s pounds made to that country in the seven months period to the first of February as compared with lI.5l2.700 pounds in the same period of last year.

pany is now carrying unsold a load of approximately 35.OO0.O0 pounds of copper which has accumulated upon the largely curtailed production of the past two years.
 The very high taxes assessed against tine mines of the company amounting to Sl33 per shift for each man employed by the company dur ing the past year. and the heavy in creases in freight rates. together with increased cost of fuel oil and of supplies used in the mining and smelting operations. have increased the cost of production to such an ex- tent that the sale of copper at the present marke, prices. even if pos sble. would result in serious losses
 The directors believed suspension of production was necessary in O. der to conserve the best interests of employees of the company as well Is of stockholders. and help in the quics- er restoration of better coalitions in the industry.
 Production will he resumed as soon as market conditions justify

BETTER SALARIES FOR
 TEACHERS RECOMMENDED

PHOENlX. April l2-That the sev- eral counties will have to pay still better salaries and provide better liy- ing conditions for the teachers is the concensus of opinion manifested dur ing the closing hours Of the annual conference Of county superintendents.
 The biggest factor that will ten 10 keep a good teacher in the rural school is proper living quarter" Is the way most of the superintendent 5 put it. Emphasis is laid also on sui- ficient pay The county superintend- erts hold that the pay now offered Is not enough to hold the good teachers
 Al present most of the rural school teachers must depend upon the neighbors" for finding living accom- modations. At best this means that the teacher must take the chance that she will be able to find congenial sur roundings. In some instances rather sterrotyped quarters have been buil. fer fhe teachers by the counties. The chief objections to these are that too often they are lonely affairs.
 What inc rural teacher waa:s. ;tie point out. is some thing that approaches home-1ot jus; "a place 10 live"
