HUNT FOR LOST
RAD|UM FAILS

His search in Washington for a
speck of radium worth $4,000 with
the aid of a temperamental scien-
tific instrument fruitless, Prof. d.
H. KAPPA Jan today faces his classes
at the University of Pennsylvania
again.
DIR. C. Augustus Simpson. 1910
Twentieth st. n. W., lost the
valuable thirty milligrams of pow
der several days ago-when it was
accidentally swept from a table
after being used to treat a patient
for tumor. rhe insurance COM
pany which had insured the tiny
packet for one-third its value was
called and Prof. Kapajian was sum-
moned from his science classes in
Philadelphia, with his instrument.
The talented electroscope is so
sensitive to radium-energy that It's
pendulum vibrates rapidly If placed
within twenty feet of a radium
particle. Through this means, the
professor had located lost radium
on several occasions.
In Washington, however, he
secured the offices of DIR. Simpson,
he visited the city dump heap, the
incinerator and other spots to
which refuse might have been taken

Display of feminine fashions at
the latest British style shows in
dicates somewhat of a break in the
general severity and simplicity of
women's garb.
"A large variety Of lace is used
for trimming and dresses" Isaacs
said. quantities of silk and bead
fringe are popular"
Skirts are short and generally
straight.
PROFESSIONALLY, according to
Isaacs, the hosiery trade is profit
ing in contrast to cloth manufac-
turers. But, he added, women of
modern times demand freedom of
movement"
Display of fabrics, rather than the
styles themselves, are particularly
impressive, Isaac said.
He continued that plain and bro
caded taffetas, silk lace, and vel
vets are most popular as gown ma
terials. Smart clothes In home
spuns, saxonies, velours and west OF
England tweeds are featured in suits
and sport clothes.
Autumn colors are deeper tones
of the summers popular pastel
shades" Isaacs said. Many col
ors are deeper tones of fuchsia
which became SO popular fully two
years ago."
THE mauve class of colors holds
q predominant position AMI many
shades bear names associated with
the darker colored wines. Popular
among them are mauve, a tone in
clined to the pastel mauve; bur-
gundy. a full wine color, and null
berry, deep mauve inclining to
purple.
las usual in autumn browns are
popular. Greens, blues and fawns
in much deeper tones than summer
colors are in demand"
Sport garments reflect women s
demand for freedom of movement
In these the English manufacturers
have achieved the maximum of
success. Garments are cut on the
lines of a mans coat and button
holes hand sewn.
Fur collars are frequently used.
Many coats are cut on the lines
of a Norfolk jacket.

PURSE
PL AIMED

New Orleans is to be the Mecca
for horsemen this winter. I'M
provements running well over the
three hundred thousand dollar
mark are sure to make the popu-
lar course of the Louisiana Jockey
Club the center of attraction for
horsemen and turf patrons during
the 81 days of sport assigned the
Crescent City course this winter.
Colonel Edward Riley Bradley,
well-known and popular Kentucky
sportsman, has set his heart upon
making the fair grounds course
the finest and safest in the United
States. Money has been spent with
a lavish hand. Every Improvement
that might add to the comfort, con-
venience and safety of owners,
trainers, jockeys and patrons has
been attended to in most business
like manner. More than S150,000
has been spent to date. An addi-
tional sum of like amount will be
paid out by the Louisiana Jockey
Club before the gates open next
New Years Day.
The meeting over which Cen
eraI Manager James NJ. Murphy
is to preside has an extended list
of dates this year. Last season
the fair grounds course enjoyed
but 40 days of racing. In 1927
the meeting will be spread over
81 days.
The fact that the Louisiana
Jockey Club will offer the purse of
$50, 900 to the winner of the New
Orleans Handicap, a test for three.
year-olds and upward, at one mile
and a sixteenth. has attracted wide
spread attention through the turf
world.
The cream of the thoroughbred
racing fraternity will occupy stall
room at the Fair Grounds course.
General Manager Murphy is visit
| ing the various courses of the
country, interesting the best-known
| horsemen in the stake events at
| the Fair grounds track. Last year
I the New Orleans Handicap was
won by Nurmi, a son of the Finn
Hurakan, belonging to Mrs. Payne
| Whitney's Greentree Stable.
No doubt the quality of TIE
field in this rich classic will
measure up in every detail to the
best among the long list of his
toric classics decided yearly in
the United States.

Town IS GIVEN
UP To FLOOD

BEARDSTOWN; H., Oct. A.
Beardstown today was threatened
with complete inundation from the
flood waters of the Illinois river,
following two disastrous breaks
in the levee.
Hundreds of citizens, working
day and night during the past
week to keep the protecting dykes
intact, have abandoned their task
and left the town to its fate.
Many families have vacated their
homes and fled to the hills nearby.
The water is pouring into the
town and now stands several feet
deep in many of the streets. The
postoffice is surrounded by three
feet of water. The river is still
rising.
The town is isolated. Railroads
and highways are all under water.
So far no loss of life has been re-
ported. The people had ample
warning.
The flood conditions, resulting
from almost continuous rainfall
during the past several weeks, IS
general over parts of Illinois, In
diana. Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas,
Farmers are the heaviest losers.
Millions of dollars worth of crops
are under water. Railroads and
public utilities also suffered heavy
damage.

respective totals were 900 ana 03U
Although the American drew up
almost even with the National, the
total of 842 for both leagues is less
than in the last three years, l 1913
having been hit in 1925 and S95 in
1924. What reflection this casts on
the use of the rabbit ball, which
caused so much discussion, is
readily seen.
Second place for individual honors
for the season goes to Hack Wilson,
Of the Cubs, who stands first in the
National, with total Of II, while
for third place there is tie be-
tween Simmons, of the Athletics,
and Bottomley, of the Cards, each
with 19.
For fifth place there is a
similar deadlock, for IazZeri, Of
the Yanks, and Cy Williams, Of
the Pills, each made circuit drives
10 times.
Excluding Ruth, the first 10 in
each league finished the season
pretty well grouped, although the
men in the National gained slight
edge so far as the total for the first
ten is concerned. Kelly, OF the
Giants, is the only New York player
to make the leading 10 in the Ma
tional, but in the American the
Yankees placed Lazzeri and Gehrig,
Ruth being excluded because of his
high total.
