Radium Exhibit
 Adds Interest To Automobile Show

Radiun, the most valuable element in the world, costing S120,000 a gram will add a touch of romance to this years national automobile show at Grand Central Palace. It is an- nounced that there will be an exhibit of radium valued at $100,00O in the form of radium luminous material which is. utilized autom obile ap- pliances. The jar containing the ra- dium will be several feet long. The radium material will shine 1uminously in the special dark compartment con- structed for it.
 The exhibit is of particular interest to automobile owners because radium today is untiIized in gasoline gauges and other appliances on automobi to light up the dia1s in the dark, do- ing away with the dangerous use of matches to read the gasoline gauge at night. The use of radium in ilIurlin- ating the gauges of automobile is an American invention which has found widespread acceptance among the more progressive manufacturers.
 The exhibit will be guarded day and night by two detectives.

Actress Tells Secret
Tells How to Darken Gray Hair with
 a Home-NIade Mixture.

Joicey Williams, the well known American actress, recently made the following statement about gray hair and how to darken it, with a home made mixture:
 Anyone can prepare a simple mix ture at home that will gradually darl1en gray, streaked or faded hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add i ounce of bay rum. a snaal box of Barbo Compound, and 1-4 ounce of gIycerine.
 These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost Ap- ply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray haired person look twenty years younger. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off."-AdV.

 Two Hartford theatres have been closed since the investigation was started. They were the Crown, Main street, and the Empire, Asylum street Both were strictly movie houses. The Hartford investigation Is not being carried on with the appearance of a crusade against theatres, as the New Haven situation has seemed to be- but rather on the theory that the public is entitled to all possible protectdon.

LAD IS LOYAL TO CHUM EVEN GOES
 TO THE DENTISTS

Bright and early yesterday morn ing a lad presented himself at the Welfare Building to have his teeth filled and cleaned. He had the prop CT set of school and dental clinic cards but his name, when he gave it. did not correspond with that on the cards. Considerable investig gation . finally revealed the fact that the cards belonged to chum of his who didn't want to go to the dentist so he had come instead. Whether it was that he was making a great sacrifice of friendship or merely taking ad- vantage of anopportunity for having a morning out from school, no one knows. At any rate, he didn't get the treatment.

CASSED VET BRAINS HAVE CHANCE FOR
 OBTAINING CURE
Especial to The Times.)

New Haven. Jan. 5-With the in stallation of a new system for treat ment of ex-service men gassed over seas, patients at the Allingtown hos pital, New Haven. sees a better chance of being cured of tuberculosis, the outgrowth of the gassing, cons1d- cred by many army men to be worse than the average gun shot wound.
 "Our results are the same as are being obtained in private inst1tu- tions where it is being used" Major Raulon said. "The results are very good Here we give the treatment, which consists of injecting air under pressure by means of a, needle into the pleural cavity, causing the d1- seased part to be compressed. ad- ministering it in small quantities, but frequently. In this respect the treat ment differs from the method Tn some other places, where the practice is to give large injections and not so frequently. The treatment is gwen Some of the patients receiving it might not otherwise have as good chance for recovery
 Men in the wards are anxious to take the "gas treatment" as they speak of it, but it cannot be given to all and the patients are fearful that if the public health service depart ment is changed that many. of the attending doctors will resign, and this practice will be stopped.
 The movement in some circles to relieve public health service doctors from services at army hospitals is unpopular, especially among the SOL 7iers at Ellington. Doctors attending the 450 patients now at the hospital are popular with the men now under going treatment. A visit to the sol- diers find nearly ali of them in a. ~contented frame of mind and in in- terviews with 12 men in as many diff ferent wards expressions of satisfac- ton with the doctors were heard. Major Raulon is especially popular with the men,
 "The major is the best T. B. doctor in the country. He takes good care Of us." That was the opinion express ed by several. voluntarily and with out knowledge that they were talking for publication.
