reduce the cost of operation through
less wear on machines, tires and other
equipment.

SHORTAGE OF RADIUM
'REPORTED IN GERMANY
BERLIN, March JT Once the chief
producer of radium, Germany, now has
Itarely enough to meet the medical needs
of the great universities. There is onlv
one gram of radium in all Berlin, and
proportionately even less at Heidelberg
and other university cities.
The shortage la said to be due to the
fact that kaurethM, used In the manu
facture of radium, is no longer Import
ed from America. The Germans say
the United States could supply plenty
of karnothlt, but in view of the low
purchasing power of the mark the
Germans cannot afford to buy it.
Poland's ministry of war has just
purchased four monitors as the founda
tion of the Vistula fleet. Six torpedo
boats, asslgnfel to Poland by the coun
cil of ambassadors, formerly having
been a part of Germany's naval forces.

The safe, the invention of a Dutch
man, is claimed to be absolutely un

Its ship went down, would go floatingg
about the seas attracting attention to
itself until its clockwork machinery ran
