RADIUM EXPERT
TELLS OF USES OF
PRECIOUS ELEMENT
Mr. II. N. McCoy of Chicago spoke
to the students of the chemistry de
partment Monday afternoon on
"Radium and Radio Activities." Mr.
McCoy passed through Lincoln on his
way home from the west and the
faculty prevailed upon him to speak
to the students. Classes were dis
missed so that everyone could at
tend the lecture who had chemistry
at that hour.
Mr. McCoy described the ratf'.um
paint that Is used to illuminate the
figures on watches, clocks and com
passes. He mentioned that the dials
of various sorts of areoplanea are
illuminated by radium paint. He
spoke of an interesting example oi its
value In the war. It seems that the
Americans conceived the idea of
sending out scouts across "no man's
land" who painted the post of the
barbed wire entanglements with the
paint. They then trained machine
guns on the spot. When night came
the place shown brightly and when
ever a German crossed in front of
the place he was showered with
machine-gun bullets. It took the
enemy a good while to catch on o
the trick.
The use of radium in the medical
world was touched upon briefly by
Mr. McCoy. He said that radium
acts upon all tissue but, as in the
case of cancer, it affects only the
diseased tissue and has no affect up
on the healthy tissue.

'Ciunpaign of Nation Wide Inter
1 est to Raise $5,000,000
i for Memorial
All Will Be Given Chance to
Give, No One Will Be
Askod to Donate
The Mark Masque'a are today Bell
ing tags to raise the University
niuitii (if the nosevelt Memorial fund.
The tags are selllnn for ten cent
and upwards so that everyone may
have a part In honoring the great
American.
Three days after the death of Col
onel Roosevelt. January 6. 1919, at a
meeting held In Chicago, there waa
authorized the appointment of a
Roosevelt Memorial committee which
should take upon Itself the task of
securing a fitting national memonaj
to the former president. . Colonel
William Boyce Thompsen waa named
as chairman and men and women,
friends and close nsoclates of Col
onel Roosevelt, were subsequently
selected to form the Roosevelt Per
manent Memorial committee.
The campaign is to raise $5,000,000
to build a monument n Washington,
I). C. and to preserve the Roosevelt
home at Oyster Bay.
The campaign will be different,
from the typical "drive" in that no
one will be urged to contribute
against his or her will and no pres
sure whatever . will be brought to
bear to secure contributions, either
large or small. An opportunity will
be offered everyoni o contribute to
the fund, but the pressure of the re
cent "drives," when our country waa
in a state of war. will be absent. This
should be a great national free-will
gift which shall be burdensome lo no
one but in which everyone can easily
have a share. In pursuance of this
policy the goal of the campaign m
each comunity should be numerical
as well as financial. It will be the
purpose of the campaign to secure
millions of contributors for a mini
mum of $5,000,000. Millioms of sub
scribers to this fund will, in itself,
constitute a memorial more fitting
than any which can be purchased
wifh the money.
It is the unanimous opinion of the
committee that the necesary funds
for pioviding the manorial should be
provided by a national free will gift
,nd :fat every man, woman and cirtu
should be given an opportunity to vol
untarily express these gratitude and
remembiance of the great American
who so robiy served his country pncl
his people.
The earnest wish and purpose of
those interested in this movement
has been from its inception, to remove
absoluely all thought of partisanship
from the Memorial association. His
memory is the common heritage of
all Americans. Everyone lino
equal right to do him honor and tue
Roosevelt Memorial association will
be conduct cc? in a manner to iH-rmit
all to exercise that right, vi.hcui
reserva'ion or embarrassment.
