has been taken, and the yield at pres
ent is in excess of 700 tons a month.
More than fifty new claims were To-
Gated during the past year, several of
which have become producing mines.
In addition to the supply from Colo
RADIO and Utah a considerable guam
tity of uranium ore, the euxenite of
the mineralogist, has been brought
from Brazil. The extent of the
Brazilian supply is not known.
A ton of the radium bearing rock
rarely yields more than or 5 per
cent. OF uranium mineral, and the
radium obtained therefrom does not
ordinarily exceed three or four milli-
grams, that is, about the weight of
as many brass pinheads.
The interruption of pitchblende
mining in Bohemia caused by the war
turned attention to the known but
unsurveyed sources of uranium ore
in Colorado. The search by skillful
prospectors disclosed the fact that the
supply of carnotite exceeds the first
estimates as to quantity.
The reduction of the ore and the
chemical treatment by which the
radium is obtained are complex as
well as costly processes. One com
pany engaged in the production OF
radium has found it more economical
to transport the ore to the nearest
railway station and thence to the
reduction works at Orange, New
Jersey, than to attempt reduction
and treatment at the source of pro-
ductiop. Hitherto the yearly pro-
duction of radium has not been much
in excess of three-quarters of an
ounce. The output may be and prob
ably will be increased, but lower
ing of the price is not likely unless
more inexpensive process of reduc-
tion is discovered. The entire quan-
tity Of radium in the world fit for
surgical use does not exceed five or
six ounces.

Every Day a Christmas.
The Pleasure of Giving Could BE
Spread All Over the Year.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD desire
to make a suggestion that will relieve
shop girls. prevent the annual congcs-
tlon OF the mails and do good in hun
dred other ways.
Why do We reserve our presentation
OF gifts fer Christmas? Why do we
lSnead and soften our hearts only AT
one season OF the year instead OF MAX
Ing every day in the year n gift day?
The truly kind. generous and charitable
man or woman will be always seeking
occasions for making gifts. Christmas
giving is only, for the most part a mat
ter of custom and barter There are q
thousand ways cf giving money and
gifts without pauperzing the recipient
or giving him any offense
There are three blessings attached to
giving-one for the giver, one for the
recipient and one or rather many. for
all those who benefit through the grati-
tude OF him who receives an unlocked
for Kindness. Whether we have much
or little. let us give OF what we have
and let us give constantly. At least
let US never turn away the poor mar
who begs for bread at our doors or the
widow OF orphan who needs our help
The pleasure OF giving is one OF those
pure joys whose dwelling place is moi
OF earth. No one who has ever felt this
pure Joy would exchange Il for the bar
rem pleasure of receiving. w. p.

More Harm From Oil Refuse.

It is not merely to resort beaches
and 90 the fishing interests that the
spreading of oil refuse on shore and
inlet waters Is doing harm. II is

The Long Island Game Protective
Association through its president. G..
V. HoIAINs, has gathered impressive
Information on this detail of the
subject.
Gunners in the vicinity Of New
York have for long time been find
ing wild fowl either lying dead on
the beaches or drifting about on the

means death to the bird. Even birds
that have been picked up and cleansod

AT Peace With the World.

BY the signing of the treaty Of
peace between the United States and
Hungary this country becomes at
peace with the world. The Hunga-
rian treaty, which is the third con-
cluded since July, was signed yes
terday at Budapest by the Hungarian
Government as represented by For
eign Minister BANTF and the Ameri-
can Charge d'Affaires at Budapest,
HUGH GRANT SMITH.
The Hungarian National Assembly
on August IS unanimously approved
the peace resolution adopted by the
United States Congress on July de-
claring that a state Of war between
the United States on one side and
Germany and Austria Hungary on
the other side was at an end. At the
same time the Hungarian Assembly
authorized the Government to nego-
tiate a separate peace treaty. The
request for this treaty was formally
laid before our Government and ne
gotiations for such treaty were be-
gun on August "a.
The compact which has just been
signed is the result. The main
points of this document were al
ready covered by the treaties of Yer
sailles, st. Germain and the Trianon.
The treaty, besides confirming pre-
vious treaty provisions, secures de-
fined rights to the people of the two
nations regarding their personal and
business relations which in nowise
conflict with the terms of the other
treaties.
The last previous peace treaty to
which the United States was party
was that with Austria, which was
approved by the Senate October IS
and ratified by President HARDING
October 81, proclaimed at Vienna No
vember 8 and nine days later in the
United States. 1t is expected that
the President will issue his final proc
lamation Of peace in few days.

Bureau OF Cancer Research. The
matter is of special Importance be-
cause of the immersions in oil refuse
to which of late years bathers at sum-
mer resorts have been subjected.
On both the Atlantic and the Pacific
coast water fowl life is seriously
affected by this Gil refuse. The Cali
fornia Game Commission reports that
birds are being destroyed in thou
sands by oil dumped within the three
mile limit. AS long ago as last March
the Providence Journal reported that
thousands of wild ducks had been
killed by oil on Rhode Island waters.
Oyster dredgers brought great num-
bers of dead ducks to the surface.
Still other ducks were found floating
on the water so disabled by gluey oil
that they were unable to lift their
wings to fly. There was nothing for
them to do but to float around until
they starved to death. What has
udppsueu Ou tllo NEW EuStduu anu
Pacific coasts has of course happened
in greater or less degree along our
entire sea front.
The refuse oil evil concerns Great
Britain. France and all other mari
time countries as much as it does us.
If the three mile limit means the
creation of vast off shore dumps for
this refuse destructive to birds and
fishes, and if these dumps are beyond
the reach of domestic laws; then
doubtless there will be international
regulations to meet the evil
1t is by no means a problem diff
cult Of solution. Installation OF
tested equipment for oil segregation
and storage on board ship is neither
difficult nor expensive. aud this would
make it unnecessary for ships to dis
charge waste oil into the sea.

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 90. 1921.
France Swings Into Line.

THE NEw YoRN HERALD is deeply
gratified that France through Pre-
mier BRAND has swung into line
with England, Japan and America in
respect OF the American naval pro-
gram. This is, we are certain, the
larger view, and the larger view is
what the friends of France, nations
and individuals, expect her TO take.
Now if France can bring herself to
the right view of the submarine,
poison gas and the bombing airplane
she will be in the forefront OF the
fight for better humanity in war SO
long as war menaces the world.
The submarine that has any value
rs a fighting machine of defense is
sure to push into offense and send
some Lusitania to the bottom Of the
sea.
The submarine should go, poison
gas should go and the bombing air
plane should go. These outlaw Gre
ations of hell have no place in
civilized life, no place in the warfare
Of civilized life. That they can kill
more people at a given money cost
docs not justify their use. Human
slaughter should not be measured by
the gold standard.
If men must fight at the call Of
their Governments they should at
least have chance for their lives.
The submarine doesn't give them a
chance for their lives, poison gas
doesn't give them chance for their
lives. the bombing airplape doesn't
give them a chance for their lives.
Considered in any respect, save
that of money cost, every argument
IS in favor of the elimination of these
monstrous outlaws rather than the
bsttleship, which is a fair fighter
But THE New YORK HERALD is not
arguing for the retention of any more
battleships than the American pro.
gram calls for. 1t is arguing for,
and calling for, the elimination of
the submarine, poison gas and the
bombing airplane because they are in
human, iptolerable, unthinkable.

The Meyer Committees Charter
Revision Proposals.

The Meyer investigating commit
tee is sound in principle when it
recommends for the new Charter of
New York city separation of the
appropriating power from the spend
ing power. The executive branch of
the State government does not decree
what it will spend, raise the money
as best it can and then spend it.
The Executive of the United States
Government does not. Each of these
executive branches, under the care
full estimates and close scrutiny OF a
budget system. asks the separate
and distinct legislative appropriating
branch for the money it needs, and
II it gets it spends it on the specific
objects for which it is appropriated.
The system which obtains with ma
tional and State governments should
obtain with our municipal govern
ment in so far as it is safe and prac-
ticable. IF there is not likely to be
in our municipal government under
existing law legislative branch
competent to reach important finan-
cia1 decisions and to exercise wisely
the appropriating power. there can
be. to perform these functions, re-
sponsible elective body such as the
nine members OF the board OF finance
proposed by the committee.
Again the Meyer committee is
sound when It urges simplification of
the whole financial machinery of the
local government through the aboli-
tion of the present Sinking Fund
Commission. along with the Board OF
Estimate, TO be replaced by the sin
gle board of finance. And IL is politi.
cally as well as financially sound
wher it urges the discoRtinuance of
mandatory spendings for purely To-
cal purposes, forced by the Albany
Legislature upon the municipal gov.
ernment regardless Of its desire to
spend and perhaps even its capacity
TO pay.
But while the foregoing Charter
revision suggestions follow sound
principles and successful practices
other proposals of censorship. even
regulatory and removal powers
over the municipal executive are a
very different matter. The Meyer
committee, i'm fact, proposes small
legislative body with virtually unlim.
tied powers over the authority and
indeed the very existence OF the ex.
ecutive who might in the circum
stances become merely the servilc
agent Of the legislative nine.
All this in spite of the fact that
the men who in the past have studied
the longest and examined the most
deeply into the practical needs of 8
business like local government sci
dom tver failed TO roach the conclu
sVn that full r%ponsibilily for bis

TRIO CLAssIQUE's CONCERT.
Musicians Win Warm Applause on
First Appearance.

The Trio Classique OF New York. a
new organization, gave the first of three
concerts last evening at Aeolian Hall
The members of the trio are Mime. Celia
Schiller. piano: Maurice Kaufman, vio-
lin, and John Mundy, cello. Nine. Schil-
Ter. who organized the trio, is pupil OF
the late Teresa Carreno. She and her
colleagues have had much experience
as solo and ensemble players. Mr.. Kauf-
man is known here as a vioimst, and
the same may be said Of Mr.. Mundy as
a cellist in London, Re having come to
this country to conduct "The Beggar's 8
Opera
The program consisted Of Brahms's
G major trio, opus 81: a number by
the British composer Eugene Goossens,
entitled "Five Impressions Of a Holi-
day" opus q and the f major trio, opus
is. of Camille Saint-Saens. The Coos
sens work was new here. It has five
parts-"In the Hills" by the Rivers"
'"rhe Water Wheel,s "The Village
Church" and "At the Fair" Written
In the composers ultra modern style. the
Impressions" come as a sharp contrast
to the Brahms trio and also as not quite
in place under the trio's title. The music
is well composed, Eight in substance and
effectively descriptive. The first part
had charming melody. the third was one
of the best and the fifth gay and lively.
The work was enjoyable and hence
warmly applauded.
The performance of the Brahms trio
showed good appreciation of tho score,
although the execution was not always
smooth and finished. The rhythm was
often good, but the balance less so.
The cello was often quite lost in the
ensemble. The violin's pitch might have
been better. The tonal finish was much
better in the Goossens music.

Better Late Than Never.

Mayor HYLAN is to be commended
for ordering an inquiry into the con-
duct of the police who raided the
Town Hall meeting of November 13.
Why the Mayor did not start a genu-
inc investigation of this outrage a
month ago. instead Of leaving it to
the clique at Police Headquarters, is
a puzzle. The investigation" at
Headquarters was star chamber
farce, as the Mayor might have sus-
pected it would be.
Still it is not too late for Mr..
HYLAN to seek out the men guilty of
the violation of the citizens right to
free speech. He has intrusted the
task to his Commissioner Of Ac-
counts, Mr.. HIRsHFIELD. What with
his inspection of American history
for purposes OF schoolbook revision
and his routine work Mr.. HIRsH-
FIELD is a busy man. But il he is
determined to get at the truth about
the mrzzling of the Town Hall meet
ing he should be able 70 produce
immediate results.
Meanwhile there is no reason why
the District Attorneys office should
not proceed on its own account with
view to discovering whether the
incident OF November 13, when a lit
tie group Of police officials prevented
public addresses at gathering of
orderly New Workers., should be pre-
sented to the Grand Jury.

The word ''undernourished" is popu-
larly taken to mean starved because
of poverty. Actually it connotes no
such thing. A poor man may he well
nourished. while well to do man may
suffer from malnutrition. The exact
significance of the word is well illus
trated by the fact that number of
students at Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology. not financially in want,
have been found to be undernourished.
Milk and cocoa are to be furnished to
them free of charge to build up bodies
which have become impaired by un-
wise diets or non assimilation of food.
not because enough money has not
