HARD, SAYS
MRS. FOKkER

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N. J.,
Nov. % .N.S).-Inventive genius
may be boon to mankind, but to
a wife it Is considerable OF a
nuisance, according to story which
is told concerning Mr.. and Mrs.
Antony III. G. Fokker. the former
being the world,Ramous designer
and builder OF airplanes.
A close personal friend declares
that E'okker is completely wrapped
up" in his chosen vocation and
avocation, the building OF the finest
airplanes possible. His interest is
so intense, according to his friend,
that he carries his thoughts of new
designs and improvements home
with him, much to the despair Of
his wife.
It is related that in. his bedroom
Fokker recently had an airplane
motor placed beside his bed. In,
stead of going TO sleep as the
average individual does after an
honest days labor. he would lay
awake far into the night, it Ms
declared, with light shining upon
the motor, gazing at 1t and turning
over in his fertile mind thoughts
of how improvements could be
made.
Mrs. Fokker Is quoted as saying
that the fruits of inventive genius
worldly poSsessiOns--are quite ac-
centable to a wife, hut this business
of having husband who keeps the
light burning half the night is mot
so good"

LONDON, Nov. 20 H.N.
Charges that Belgium has engineered
i corner In the radium supply of the.
world. to the detriment of sufferfng
humanity. are IevelIed by prominent
British hospital authorities.
They urge the British government
to conduct an inquiry into the ques-
tion, with the object Of discovering
ifsit is possible to obtain the precious
healing substance at 4 price less
than 100000 q gramne roughly
half teaspoonful now being asked
BY Belgian distributors.
In defense Of the existing high
price. however. II is pointed out that
the ore from which medical radiuni
Is obtained Is mined III the heart Of
Belgian Congo, and has To be car
ried overland for vast distances be-
fore it can be shipped To Belgium
There 1t has to SO through many
processes before the therapeutic
radiunl IS produced. As an ounce
of radinm can only be produced from
ores 100000 times its own weight,
IT Is argued It il not surprising + e
costly.

prepared to pay $50 600 gramrIe

Benefits Eternal
Every effort must be made to re-

view OF Sir Berkeley Moyniham.

Surgeons
tIt Is a moral responsibility upo1
those who deal commercially with
radium not to obtain an exorbitant
profit he said.
1T has been demonstrated. for
