Hidalgo District
Court Has Heavy
Docket For Term

EDINBURG, March 16.-One Of
the heaviest criminal dockets in the
history of the 10th district court in
Hidalgo county will be called here
Monday morning with Judge Hood
Boone, presiding justice, on the
bench, according to court attaches.
The docket, which includes a
large number of murder cases, is
said to cover more ase than usual
due to the fact that the criminal
docket was called and set at the
last ter moi court, but no cases
were heard. The entire docket was
reset until the March term of court
by Judge Boone.
A large number of civil cases are
also included on the docket, and
several days will be given over to
the hearing of divorce cases, as
many have been filed in the 10th
district court.
Court will be called at 9 o'clock
Monday morning.

 Tn 1921 a group of American women organized, collected S50,0G0 and bought a gram of radium which they presented to Mmc. Curie for her own laboratory, because at that time she had no money to buy ra- dium for experimental research. She came to this country and ac- cepted the gift, insisting that it be the property of the Curie Labora- tory in Paris.

Washington, Oct. 19. UP). - Capital police anticipate a lively fall and winter season if they must please both Congressional drys and executive branch stickicrs for diplo- matic prcrogativcs.
 As is customary when legislative and executive branches disagree, the policemen's plight may some day come before the Supreme Court of the judicial branch for consideration. Meantime, ample trouble lies ahead of Washingto police if Congress sional drys adopt the prohibition ideals of Sen. Howell, Republican, Nebraska.
 Howell cites a 1923 Department of Justice ruling that Transportation of diplomatic liquor in common carrier is illegal. But the opinion of the executive branch has changed since 1923. State and Treasury De

partment interpretations of the law are that a truck or other conveyance of diplomatic liquor operates within the law if the shipment is accom- panied cn route by a diplomat pos sessing proper identification papers for himself and the cargo.
 "The ownership of the vehicle is not important" said the latest Treasury Department ruling Physical possession of the liquor by the diplomat and his status as such makes the person and liquor immune.'
 In the opinion of the State and Treasury departments, any officer interfering with such a shipment of liquor is liable to three years imprisonment and a fine as vio- lator of laws of nations and dis turber Of the public repose.

 Refused to P"oGtccr
 Stcadtastly they refused to com mcrcializa their discovery. But others did not despise the profits available. And today radium is so expensive that it is, after all. out of reach of those who need it most. A tiny spock of it is worth q for tune. In all the countries Of the globe, there are in active use only sos grams, just a little over on" pound. II sells for S70,000 q gram. Scientific mon, who want to cure cancer, are up against the cruel fact that there is practically a monopoly in radium at the present time and that this monopoly prevents the wider use Of the often miraculously curative substance.
 Only one company is producing radjum on any apprcciahle scal.. and that is a Belgian concern that gets the precious mineral from ores dug in the Belgian Congo.
 Radium From Many Ores The first pure radium salts were obtained from ore found in Czccho- Sloyakia. Then even greater quau- titles were obtained from working pitch blend ores found in the United States. Later a Belgian company which had great copper fields in the Congo found an orc that was com parativcly rich in radium. They could produce it cheaper than any one else and thus monopoly fell into their hands. Mining com pani"s in other parts of the world ceased 10 experiment with it.
