AMERICANS TO ATTEND FRENCH ROLL CONGRESS Wor ! d Marionette Show to Be Held in Parts. BY N. REYNOLDS PACKARD. United Prs Staff Correspondent PARIS. Aug. 30.—The first world marionette congress is to be held In Paris next October and will be attended by delegates from all over Europe and America. One of the principal problems to be discussed will be how Punch and Judy shows can be utilized in public schools for the teaching of such subjects as geography and history. Czecho-Slovakia, which has over 2.700 puppet-shows throughout the country, is to send the largest number of delegates, although a good representation is also expected from the United Stages where interest in marionettes has been increasing. Russia will also be well represented. According to an announcement by the committee in charge of the congress, one of the principal speeches will be made by Leon Bogatitrev, of Russia. He will tell of the varied kinds of marionettes which are popular in his country, including those used by the Siberians and the people of Georgia and the Ukraine. Numerous speakers from Czechoslovakia will give detailed accounts as to how practically every schoolhouse in that country is equipped with puppet-shows, generally fashioned by the children themselves. Performances are given in the classrooms in connetion with their everyday lessons. New mechanisims which are being used in different parts of the world to operate the marionettes Will also form an part of the agenda. Much is expected from the American delegates in this respect because of innovations which have recently made their appearance in the United States historical costuming, scenery and traveling arranged will likewise be discussed. The congress will attempt to facilitate the diffusion and publication of plays written esplecially for marionette theaters.

Alberta, Aug. 30. —The Harvard university summer school of geology, which has just closed a five weeks' investigation of the mountains of the Maligne lake, Jasper Park, has found that these mountains are older than the Alps. "This is a remarkably fine region geologically, and we were faced with many interesting problems, particularly with regard to glaciers,” stated Professor Kirtley F. Mather, who headed the group of twenty-two students.

Labor Bodies Have No Official Program Monday

Central Union to Give Dance at Indiana Ballroom Monday Night. Thousands of Indianapolis persons today prepared to celebrate the week-end an the additional Labor day holiday. Local labor organizations have not scheduled any official celebration activities for Monday. Central Labor union members will give a dance at the Indiana ballroom Monday night. The state fair, which opens Saturday, undoubtedly will draw thousands of holiday pleasure-seekers into the capital city. Amusement centers, including parks, theaters, airports, sporting events, and golf courses, will attract a fair share of the horde, but it is to the lure of highways lead-

ing to resorts within a 200-mile radius, particularly in northeastern Indiana, that the majority will succumb. Picnickers will have their fling over the week-end, according to reservations already made with the city park board. Figures show there will be more than thirty reunions, and probably an equal number of family gatherings in all city parks. The regular holiday mail schedule will be in effect, with delivery of only special delivery letters and perishable goods. Stores and banks will be closed all day Monday.

U. S. URGED TO BREAK RADIUM PRICECONTROL Metal Can Be Made in America for Half of Belgian Cost. WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.—Alleged monopolistic control of the world radium supply by a Belgian syndicate has led to a discussion of the possibility of domestic production. Radium is held at $70,000 a gram, and this price must be paid by doctors for the precious metal, now extensively employed in the treatment of cancer. It was recalled that in southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah there are extensive deposits of carnotite ore from which the United States bureau of mines, in 1915, extracted radium at an average cost of $37,599 per gram, little more than half the present price. Repesentative Edward T. Taylor of Colorado intends to put the subject before congress when it reconvenes. Taylor represents the district in southwestern Colorado in which the ore deposits are located. He is preparing a resolution calling on the bureau ofr mines to investigate the feasibility of resuming experimental W'ork in Colorado to develop this country’s own resources. He will press for an adequate appropriation in the belief that congress gladly will support an effort designed not only to render America independent of a Belgian monopoly but to promote the cause of science and public health. Recent revelations regarding the production of radium salts have interested official Washington as well as the medical world. The Union Miniere du Haut Katanga drove the American producers out of business when it developed rich uranium deposits in the Belgian Congo, it is claimed. After the United States’ production was stopped it is charged the price was boosted to $70,000 per gram, and is held thee now by deliberately restricting its output. This condition is regarded as intolerble by American scientific

critics, among whom is Dr. R, B. Moore, now dean of science at Purdue university, but formerly in charge of the bureau of mines experimental plant in Denver. As operating head of the project, Moore demonstrated that Colorado carnotite ores could be made to produce high-grade radium. Professor Moore charges that the product can be produced by Belgium for SIO,OOO a gram. Asa result of revolt in the scientific and medical world at this evidence of alleged extortionate profits, efforts are now being made to interest American investors in pitchblende deposits in Oarman West Africa, from which radium can be extracted, it is claimed, for SB,OOO per gram by a new German process. ♦ However, it is felt by Representative Taylor and others that it is time for the government to step in and retrieve a situation which has placed the American medical world at a disadvantage. Even if it be true that West German Africa has revealed pitchblende deposits that promise cheaper radium, Taylor does not see why the United States
