Congress and Radium. An unconfirmed statement to the effect that an unnamed philanthropic offers to spend $15,000,000 tor trie ; tablishment of twenty radium insu tules in the United States, made by a man who is testifying in opposition to the Foster-Ferris bill should not influence ths House Committee on Mines in its deliberations on the sub ject of Government conservation of radium. Whether the report proves to.be accurate or not, the duty of tfce Government remains the same. According to Flannery's own state ment 200 grams of radium are needed for the United States. The benefac tion alleged to bo contemplated in eludes the distribution of only 100 grams. Assuming both statements to be trv.e there still remains 100 grams to be supplied, and Congress, when it ahsdecided to supply radium to the people, should be able to de- visa a better plan than ot buy it from Mr Flatu.ery at his own price. This man has dropped his mask of altru ism and now admits that his opposi lion to the Foster-Ferris bill is based en purely selfish motives. It behooves the committee then to examine his statements with great caution. No philanthropist public spirited enough to give away fiften million dollars for radium cures would dream of making the defeat of the conserva tion measure now before the House a condition precedent to his gift. He would welcome Government co-oper ation rathen than discourage it. And Flannery seems to be the last person he would likely to choose as his spokesman. Press. Ay cock Graded school honor Roll for .

"Captain Alvarez" a thrilling drama magnificently staged, will be brought to the Piedmont on Friday, February 2nd, by Paul Gilmore and associate players. The production is more elaborate than any we have seen Mr. Gilmore in in recent years, being laid in the picturesque repub lic of Argentine during the earl;' fifties. It is pure, clean rom-ive, based on historical facts, a play fei-' young and old alike. H. S. Sheldon, who wrote "The Havoc," Ci I more's last . .season's succt a, many other great New York suc cesses, is the author, sufficient guar antee in itself of its . merit. : Paul Gilmore is especially fitted for tho Romantic role. His characterize inn of Bob Wainwright, young, impetu ous, American through and through, musts trike a sympathetic note in ev ery heart., Paul Gilmore has throo companies playing "Captain Alvarez," but will positively appear here in the play himself.
