ROME, April 1.-The United

ment to lend to America the services
of an engineer skilled in the con-
struction of semi-arid dirigible air
ships and several other men to aid in
the building in the United States of
craft like the Roma, the big dirigible

SEVEN TWELFTHS Of
RAD|UM COME:SFR|0M
P|TTSBURG PLANT

PITTSBURG-Tuck away amid
the mammoth steel mills here. as
little known to Pittspurgers as 1t Is
to the layman outside, is labora-
tory that turns out seven-twelfths of
the worlds supply of radium.
The laboratory has been operat-
ing since 1912. During nine years
1t has produced just SS.6 grams
Of radium. And gram is not quite
thimbleful.
But these S8.6 grams of the preci-
Gus metal represent a market value
Of $1O,632,000. Radium sells at $3,-
100000 an ounce-$120,OOO gram. 1t
usually is sold in lots of a milligram,
Or one housandth part of a gram.
But the Standard Chemical Co.
realizes only a nominal profits. For
every gram of radium that is re-
fined, 500 tons Of ore and 1000 tons
of coal, chemicals and water are
consumed. Mining and milling forces
also must be maintained and high
salaried laboratory experts paid.
Discoverer Coming
Radium was discovered i'll 1898 by
Madame Curie. Born in Poland, she
was the wife and former pupil of a
French professor, Pierre Curie, who
assisted his wife in her research
work.
The two worked for four years
after Madame Curle discovered
the rays in common pitchblende be-
fore they could disintegrate the ore
and isolate the radium.
Nine. Curie demonstrated her find
to science and was awarded the
Nobel prize for physics and the Dayy
medal of the Royal society IN 1878;
Nine. Curriers' one desire in life IS
to possess a gram of the radium she
discovered-not for it's value, but for
further experiments, particularly
looking toward the cure of cancer,
Her wish is to be .gratified by
for the purpose. Soon she will come
to this country and be presented
with the precious gram.
Refining Started
Refining of radium was started
ply of pitchbiende ore was, mined
almost exclusively in Austria and
when this soon diminished. radium
production came to a standstill.
ABOUT this time Miss Susan an a A
burg's best known families and a
what doctors pronounced a fast
cancer" Doctors said she must nave
an operation to save her life. she
was reluctant. One other recourse
was known, in a haZy way, to SCI
ence. That was radium.
But before quantity OF the pTecl-
Gus metal could be obtained Miss
FIannery was dead.
Grief-stricken, her brother. Joseph
NJ. Flannery, one Of Pittsburg MIL
Iionairies and noted for having IN
troduced vanadium alloy into the
making Of steel, went to Europe @
investigate the infant industry OF
radium manufacture. He vowed that,
if at all possible, radium should pc
produced in this country to alleviate
other cancer suffers.
He learned that radium could pc
extracted from carnolite, loW-grade
ore mined in southwestern Colorado
but only at great expense Cn,
daunted, the steel magnate hurrleu
back to the United States. and ne
gotiated for the purchase OF the Co..
orado fields. He sold his vanadlum
interests and withdraw from other
activities to devote his entire time 10
In the face of ridicule from his
business associates he organized tIle
Standard Chemical Co.. and began the
mining of carnolite.
Medical men buy most OF the
radium. Some Is used in manufac-
turing luminous articles
