Platinum Radiuln

HAMBURG. Nov. 17.|tPl-A dis
covery claimed to produce curative
effects from radium within - hours
was demonstrated at the German
Congress of Natural Sciences here.
II is a method Of amalgamating
radium with platinum devised By
the Viennese chemist, Or. Alois
Fischer. By 1T the useful X-ray
was said to be about 10 times
that OF ordinary X-ray tubes, with
far greater biological and therapeu-

But il is sadly SCARED;
Its tenders bent, its cushions torn,
It's varnish dimmed and marred.
oh no, it's never yet been wrecked;
In that it's had good luck.
Ms only that my wife insists
On thinking it's a truck.

She buys an antique chair,

And ties IL on somewhere.
Frof weekend jaunts we journey

And passers-by who scan
Our heavy-laden car are sure
That it's a moving van.
Or else, in chickens, eggs and fruit,
Great bargains she will find,
And what she cannot load inside,
She'll fasten on behind.
And when she wants a ton of brick
Or load of garden loan.
She piles them into the sedan
And proudly carts them home.
she's saved a lot OF coin that way.

PANkm UNION
TO BE FORCED
Special Meet of Sub
Committee to Seek
Solution

HAVANA, Feb. 16.-(P-In the de-
termination that the Pan-American
union should not be among the I'M
finished business of the Pan-Ameri-
can congress when il ad~~don-
day, an extraordinary meeting Of the
Pan-American union committee W
called for today.
The report of q subcommittee rs
awaited on both the actual wording
OF the convention and upon the draft
OF a resolution to provide a modus
vivendl for the Pan-American union
until the convention which is intend
ed TO regulate its activities should
be ratified by all the 81 republics
of this hemisphere.
The subcommittee included in its
membership DIR. Honorio Pueyrre-
don, Argentine, who was abserf from
the union committee meeting yester-
day. 1t was rumored that he had
resigned both as delegate of Argen-
tina TO the conference and ambassa-
dor to Washington.
DR.. Pueyrredon refused to confirm
or deny these rumors. He said his
absence was due to the fact that he
could have said nothing the COM
mittee had not already heard.
DR.. Pueyrredon in previous speech
es before the committee, insisted
that the Pan-American union :
ton in its preamble should commit
the union to the discussion of eco
nomic barriers to trade in the Ameri-
cas-. The preamble as approved, con-
tanned no such provision.
The subcommittee was instr u 4
to select from the draft convent ~
those clauses needing immediate az
plication to allow the union to func-
ton according to views expressed at
the present congress.
Ii was hoped that a resolution
might be prepared from these which
would receive the unanimous approv-
al of the congress. II would thus
correspond to the unanimous resolu-
tions of previous congresses under
which the union has been function
ing.
This resolution would be especially
useful IL the convention should fail
of ratification by any Of the coun-
tries which helped to draw It up
and therefore never become effec-
tive.

MILLIONS IN GRAFT
 EXPOSED IN NEW YORK
100000 to s7,ooo,ooo In- y0lved in Street Clean.
 ing Dept. Scandal

New York, June 2.-tP}--A story of graft in the New York street cleaning department with the amount involved estimated between $5,o00.000 and s7,oO0, 900 was on record today in the trial of two suspended officials of the depart ment.
 The estimate was made by William J. Lougheed, suspended foreman, as witness for the state in the trial Of Charles A. McGee and William J. Oswald, his superiors in the Bronx division.
 Lougheed. who had been in the department for 30 years, said that in 1915 he decided to "get some" of the easy money himself and that in 10 Of the last 13 years he had actually witnessed the theft Of $70O,- GOO from the city through payroll padding.

 The $50-a-week garage foreman told Of Flashing roll' of So0, 900 around the garage, of losing as much as S60.000 in one days betting at the Belmont Park race track, and of throwing sG,0o0 in small bills into the air one day in the garage "just for the fun of it.
 He said ''everybody in the Bronx" knew him as big gambler and that he sometimes wagered as much as S1,oo0 on one roll of the dice in games in the garage with other em- ployes.
 Although he gave the court no definite proof, he said he believed the graft went 'clear downtown" by which he meant to high officials in the city government. He named Alfred A. Taylor, street cleaning commissioner as a possible recipient of some O. the graft. Mir. Taylor later denied the charges, and said he could show that he was a poor man, dependent on his salary alone. and unable to meet many of his financial obligations because of recent illnesses in his family,

ITALIAN AVIATORS ESTABLISH NEW MARK Have Been Flying Over 54 1-2 HOurs-Break
 StinsOn's Record

Rome. June (UP)-The Italian aviators, Majors Ferrarin and Del Prete, surpassed the worlds record for sustained flight today.
 At midday they had been in the air more than an hour longer than George Haldeman and Eddie Stin- son. who set new record of 53 hours. S6 minutes and 41 seconds March 80 in Florida.
 The two Italian pilots hoped to remain in the air several hours longer and the steady roar of their airplane indicated that would not be impossible.
 Shortly before they broke the Stinson-Haldeman record Ferrarina radioed to officials on the ground:
 ''All we'll. Motor working splen- didly and have gasoline sufficient for several hours more.'
 Just before noon the plane had covered 7,500 kilometers.
 Later it was learned that the fliers expected to land at 2 p. m, thus completing a 56-hour flight.
