ACCURACY OF STAR
REPORT IS PRAISED
Blanton Says It Gave Exact State
Of House Bootlegging
Inquiry.

The Washington Evening Star was
commended at the meeting Of the House
District committee today for being the
the true facts as developed at a hearing
yesterday, when B. F. Dorsey was before
the committee as a witness.
Representative Thomas L. Blanton of
Texas today called the attention of the
committee to the fact that The Star had
published the true account OF the hear
ing yesterday, and that no testimony
was developed showing that any MEM
ber of Congress or any employe of the
with bootlegg' il having been pub
liShed at the L.-.,c of DOrseyS arrest
that he claimed he was carrying whisky
to a member of Congress, and that he
was an employe Of the House Office
bui ding.
On the floor of the House today,
Representative Blanton attacked
other Washington newspapers for
carrying this story at the time of
Dorsey's arrest and for not telling
what was developed at the hearing
yesterday.
No such thing occurred, Represent
ative Blanton said. The man was not
arrested in front of the House Office
building, as stated in the newspapers.
He was not in the employ of the
House Office building, Representative
Blanton continued, and had not been
in such employ by the House Office
building for more than a year. At the
time of his arrest he was drunk, and
had been drinking for some days.
After the committee had ascer-
tanned these facts, we find a Wash
ington newspaper this morning re-
iterating those charges. The Wash
ington newspapers ought to be more
careful in printing such charges, Rep
resentative Blanton concluded.

School officials to Have Defective
Eyes Treated in Early
Stages. =

Plans for campaign to conserve
the eyesight of District public school
children were outlined at a meeting
of the supervising principals of the
several school divisions yesterday
afternoon, at the Franklin School
Correction of vision defects in their
incipiency is the object.
An examination of vision on a uni

the child has an eye defect, and it's ex-
tent. Where defects are shown the
medical examiner will take charge.
If the examination shows the child .
vision to be perfect, but the student
complains of headaches. red eyes and
similar ailments, a special medical
test will be made.
DIR. Joseph A. Murphy, supervising
medical inspector of the schools. and
Walter B. Patterson, director of spe-
cial schools, pointed out that so per
cent of child's knowledge is taken
through the eyes, and otherwise
stressed the Importance Of perfect
vision. J.
Teachers will be furnished charts,

the price for even a few grains, which
would bring relief to hundreds. There
is scant likelihood, the minerologists
say, that any richer deposits will be
discovered. Many of the popular
theories of radium-such as that it
constitutes the heating agency of the
center of the earth-have been dis
counted and it probably exists in
quantities only on the surface. Another
theory has been that great radium de-
posits melted rocks which were dis
charged from the center of the earth

Will Turn to Lead.
curious fact is that radium even
tually turns to lead. although this does
not denote that all lead mines once
were radium deposits. Experiments
in specific gravity of minerals have
indicated that most lead was formed
in some other way, just how is not
clearly understood.

in charge of experiments with radium

erals is w. H. Forshag, who has ar

In this day Of rapid transit, when
the automobile is being used to speed
up every line of activity and efh-
cheney is the watchword of the hour,
the building inspectors Of the Dis
trict government are still engaged
in that health-producing exercise OF
walking most of the time.
Officials Of the building Office say
that walking is a practical way of
inspecting buildings. provided the
area assigned an inspector is of a
size he can perfectly cover on foot.
Unfortunately, however, the build
ing office has only eight men avail
able for field work, and when the
entire District of Columbia is mark
ed off into eight sections there is
more than a reasonable hiking tour
mapped out for each man.
Two Avenues Of Relief.
There are two possible solutions to
the problem, in the opinion of heads
more inspectors, so that the terri
tories could be made smaller, or give
adequate transportation. to the pres
ent personnel.
The building office has no automo-
biles available for inspectors and so
limited a fund for street car fare
that inspectors never get more than
sixty tokens a month 1t is a rule in
the District service that annual ap-
preparations must be 80 handled that
they will last throughout the twelve
months
The effect Of this regulation is that
at certain times of the year the build
ing office must even shut down on the
distribution Of car tokens, in order to
make the allotment last for twelve
months.
Nothing to DO But Walk.
When these periods of conservation
occur the building inspectors, with
miles of territory before them. set
out on natures old reliable vehicle Of

Price of Radiun, NO,U Cut in Half
By Discoveries in Belgian KongO
Samples of Stone Received Here So RicF, That 1t
Defes All Competition-Most Precious
Mineral Sz5 MiLligram.

The price OF radium, the worlds
most precious mineral, has been cut
in two and the mines of the United
States. hitherto producers Of almost
the entire supply. have been put out
OF business during the past few
months.
This was made known at the Ma
tionl Museum here yesterday with
the placing on exhibition Of radium-
bearing stones from the Belgian
Kongo. where mines have been opened
so rich that they defy competition.
The discoveries mean that radium
can be purchased for SIS a milligram,
whereas the lowest previous price
was $3.50 for the same amount. The
milligram is a one-thousandth part Of
a gram, which in itself is about one
thouSandth part Of a pound.
The reason for the enormous re-
duction in price was clear to Ma
tional Museum geologists from the
first analysis of the African rock.
1t contained nearly so per cent of
Uranium, the mineral from which
radium is derived. American rock is
considered excellent when per cent
OF this material, which in turn con-
talns only a minute per cent of
radium, can be obtained. The enor-
nous cost Of extracting the radium
renders impossible any idea of COM
petition.
Eliminates All Rivals.
The few radium deposits elsewhere
IN the world also will be put out of
business. These exist in Russia, in
Austrian Saxony, in Cornwall, Eng
, land, and in Madagascar. None Of
them compares with the American
deposits even: These are principally
Z
scattered in Utah and Arizona. The
mines have furnished employment
for a considerable number OF skilled
workers. although little of the final
exHaction process has been under
, taken here. This has been done for
the most part in European labora-
tories where special instruments are
available.
The largest uranium rock from
Africa received here weighs fourteen
slightly over millegram Of radium.
From this can be estimated the i'm
menSe value-$80 for that one chun k
of stone. This rock Is made up of
uranafane, a rather common uranium
bearing mineral and soddite, a min
eral found only in the Belgian Kongo.
Kept Secret for Years.
For several years the richness of
the African deposits were a jealously
guarded secret. They are controlled
entirely by one Belgian mining COM
pany. They were made known only
recently when everything was in
readiness to supply the world with
greater quantities of. radium than
ever had been dreamed of before.
The majority Of the rock samples
received here are pitchblende, from
which radium first was extracted.
These are black. The largest, how
ever, is pale yellow, although this
is not from the radfum ACTIVITY rrhn
actual amount Of this peculiar min
eral is so small that It can be de-
teoted only bv the skilled mineralo-
gist.
