More than $2,000,000 is the answer of a group of Australians who propose to build such a highway. Existence of the 20-foot radio- | active lode in Mt. Painter and Ra- dium hill, in south Australia near the New South Wales border, has been | known for years, since Sir Douglas Mawson and others verified its cx- istence. It is considered here as the largest eventual radium supply in the world. But transportation is only by camel and this has been too ex- pensive to cacourage development. When, however, the commonwealth government recently bought about $500,000 worth of radium from Bel- gium, it started an agitation for opening Radium hill. Hawaiian Fish Used To Fight Mosquitoes Monte Carlo, April 25.—i7\—An at- tempt to use fish from the Hawaiian islands to combat mosquitoes on the Riviera begins this spring. i The fish, known as gambusia, is | tiny but a voracious eater of mosquito eggs. The barrier to its usefulness has been the colder water here. Two years ago Dr. M. Monte Carlo brought a few gambusia | from Honolulu and started them off | in warm water. Week after week the water was made colder. The fish survived and now appear, to flourish equally well under six inches of ice or in warm water, and are ready to be turned loose under natural con- ditions, \ The original small group has in- creased to millions. | PROVIDENT LIRE "Town Elects Men to i hare passed ¥ my c whose duty | John Shaw through here to- |_ Kingston, Mass. “Apeil. 25. viewers, old-time ei aut | day froma Beach where bids, os pav- EXP ANDING FIELD | Nae all due soleranity the'little town Sarensine’ er fences spe bounda| | ing locks were opened, Inesda} Kingston, Mass., elected a pound iy | night, by the elty council.’ Contractor —_--- | keeper and a fleld'driver at its an-|Fes ‘They are seldom called upon’ | Rasmussen, from La Moure, he said, Was the lucky bidder and got the con- | tract, on which Mr. Shaw bid for the | Haggart Construction company, of t Adds Three Men to Staff van.
