Dr. Luther Gable went over in great style last night.  He held his audience of over four hundred until the very last.  Most of the time he had the men on the edge of their chairs.  Many have called this morning asking that we have him with us again.  The 
magic boxes
 that Dr. Gable carries with him are most fascinating and interesting.

I am writing you to tell you how pleased the Bureau County Teachers were with the lectures of Dr. Luther S. H. Gable.  The subject was a new one and one so full of possibilities for the future.  I feel the lectures helped to broaden the teacher's horizon.  Dr. Gable is an able lecturer, his platform appearance is pleasing, and he is a gentleman.  I am glad he came to Bureau County.

Two Great Lectures - With Demonstrations - Illustrated - Filled With Wonder






The Astounding Story of Radium



A Graphic Narrative of Personal Experiences with Radium Demonstrations.  Illustrated with Beautifully Colored Slides.




The Astounding Story of Radium as told by Luther S. H. Gable, lone survivor of a group of six chemical engineers and research men who refined the first radium produced in America, is unquestionably the outstanding popular science lecture of the present season.  There is nothing like it on the American platform.




There are many reasons for Dr. Gable's great popularity.  His subject matter is of unusual interest.  The Astounding Story of Radium is a graphic account of the life of the radium prospector, the mystery of radium laboratories, and the tragic death of his associates.  It is a gripping episode in the lives of the unsung heroes of our higher civilization.  Above all, Dr. Gable is a most pleasing and captivating speaker.  And he knows how to make science interesting and easy for the layman to understand.




The Astounding Story of Radium is illustrated with beautifully colored slides that help to tell the story of Dr. Gable's unusual radio-active career.  Dr. Gable also carries with him magic boxes, containing real radium.  These magic boxes are perpetual motion fireworks machines and are passed out among those in the audience.  The audience is given a real thrill in seeing radium in action.




What are the curative powers of radium?  Will it run machinery?  Will it keep our houses warm in winter?  Professor Gable answers these and other questions about radium.  He tells about the marvelous things already accomplished with radium.  He speculates as to the future of radium.




Dr. Gable is just as interesting as his subject.  He makes good newspaper copy wherever he goes.  The Milwaukee Sentinel carried a first page story following his appearance before the Rotary Club.  The New Orleans Tribune made a big first page story (with photo) of his appearance there before twelve hundred men and women at the Chamber of Commerce.  The New York Herald-Tribune made a first page comment about his lecture in Pittsburgh.  The Chicago Daily News also gave him a first page story.  The January issue of 
Life
 devoted a whole page of cartoons to him and his amazing lecture about radium.  Radium and Dr. Gable interest both newspapers and audiences.






The Mystery Of The Cosmic Rays



The Science of HELIOLOGY, Plainly and Simply Told, Is Filled With Thrills.  It Heralds A New Day In Science and The Life Of Man.




Here Dr. Gable unravels the mystery of the Ultra Violet Ray, the Infra Red Ray, the Grentz, Cathode, Roentgen, Gamma, and the famous 
Death Ray
 with its application to the 
next war.




This fascinating story is virtually a personally conducted tour to the sun and the planets.  In easy and simple language Dr. Gable describes the unseen forces around us, like a tale from Gulliver's Travels.  The listener is amazed at the story of 
nature's paint brush
 as one of these mystery rays.  The influence of color on mind and body explains our many moods.  The burning heat of cold rays seems paradoxical.




Many of the rays are demonstrated with novel mechanical generators.  Dr. Gable actually produces the cold ray that burns and the Grentz ray that kills disease germs.  He will tell of his experience with these new rays on rats, guinea pigs, and even babies.  Several specimens of actual radium—showing the alpha, beta, and gamma rays—are passed through the audience.




Dr. Gable will send a ray that produces heat, through ice without melting the ice.  Numerous other instructive and interesting experiments will also be made.




How can we harness the unseen forces in these powerful rays?  What will they do for us?  Some of the answers and speculations Dr. Gable will make, stagger the imagination.




Dr. Gable is a designer of high efficiency ultra violet and infra red therapeutic lamps; and the inventor of other radium-physical-therapy equipment, including the first American Radium-Emanator twenty-two years ago.  He also produced the first one hundred luminous radium watch dials made in the United States.  As technician for the Standard and Radium Chemical Companies at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he organized and instructed one of the first Radiumtherapy Societies for the treatment of cancer with radium.
