TALKS OF RAD|UM
CURE FOR CANCER
DR.. Dominica Explains Strides
Recently Taken by
Science.
STILL MUCH TO LEARN
Treatment Should Be Used Only
in Connection With Sur
gical Operations.

Especial Cable TO The Times-Dispatch.
Paris. February s.-Dr. Dominica
this week read a paper before the
Academy Of Medicine on the results OF
his own Investigations and those OF his
eollaborators. Drs. Cheron and Kub-
ens-Dlval. for the treatment of maIig-
nant tumors by radium. Photographs
of patients taken before and after the
treatment were shown. Productions
were exhibited of anatomical sections
showing the solution OF cancerous
tissue under the influence of red rad
ium. Four patients were present in
the adjoining room FOR examination.
The treatment, DR.. Dominica said, had
invariably proved effective for deep
vascular tumors and had cured SUI
perficial cancers IL had proved pal
lative for deep-seated cancers. relieN-
ing the pain and making the tumor

ed Improvement followed the applica-
ton of radium. even IL IL were tenn
porary. Certain deep cancers deeply
penetrating rays may be said TO have
cured, as a complete retrogression had
been secured which was still persist
ing after three or four years.
Despite these favorable results, the
three investigators consider that the
radiurn treatment should be used In
com 5ination with surgical operations.

De Constant Converted.
The lecture before the Franco
American committee on Wednesday was
By Baron D'Estourneiles de Constant.
The subject was supposed to be on
public and social life in the United
states, but the lecturer treated the
matter rather as friendly talk on
American "reminiscences. He said that
although he was not a feminist when
he went to the United States. he was
converted at san Francisco against
his will. At that place. where he was
asked TO speak at woman's meeting.
the chairwoman remarked that he was
a Frenchman, and came from a coun-
try where a mother does not allow her
daughter to go out alone. The Baron
replied that the French mother was
right; the daughters could not be al
lowed on the boulevards on account
Of the questionable characters to be
found there. but these were from all
other countries except France. He
found that the struggle against al
COnOI was the WI - Vi ." OiiiS'ir anu Si-o
seems to have aided IN his conversion
to feminism.
Interested In Report.
An incorrect report that the State
OF New York had granted woman sum

question than the granting of the
franchise to women ey other States In
America and countries like Sweden.

form would suit French temperament,
ideas and traction. Deputy Buisson,
chairman of the Universal Sunrag"

reforms would produce a veritable re

The report. in part, is as follows:

guilty of improper conduct as a pub

3. The National Association of
Manufacturers merits the severest
condemnation for its lobbying opera
tions, its efforts to control the action
of the members of congress by assist

in the realm of the invisible govern
ment."
4. Not scintilla of evidence war

1t is just as we'll to say here that
the reporters visit was to find out all
about the doctors new organization,

select body one must subscribe to the
following
"As a principle of life | do not use

use of alcoholic liquors, wines. to-
bacco in any form, tea, coffee, choco

frankly make it known, terminate

"Seventy-five per cent of all the
school children in the country are de-
fective," said the doctor. The great
est factor for producing abnormalities
in coming generations are, in the or
der of their harmfuness: 1, tobacco;
2, opium and its alkaloids; 3, alcohol:

Washington. Dec. 9.-The fight

Secretary of Treasury McAdoo has

WORK URGED ON THE RIVER
90 is NAMED AS THE
PROPER SUM.
Report Of Chief Engineer Also In
cIudes $2,330,OOO for Mlssouri's
Troubled Bed.

Washington, Dec. 9.-More than
$9,000,000 for the Mississippi river is
among the amounts considered neces-
sary by the chief of engineers of the
army for the improvement and main
tenance of these great waterways dur
ing the fiscal year of 1915.
In submitting to the secretary of
war his report the chief of
engineers makes estimates ag-
gresating $41,4S3,S95 to be applied
to 26l rivers and habor projects in the
year ending June 80, 1915.
Liberal appropriations are consid-
cred proper and desirable for snag-
ging and other work necessary to
make natural channels available
wherever water-borne commerce ex-
lists or is reasonably prospective"
says the chief of engineers. 1T is be-
lieved that expenditures for such i'm
proVements are almost always useful
and advantageous to the general pub
lie, especially since the introduction
and rapid development of small gaso-
line motor boats for combined freight
and passenger transportation"
The estimates for the Mississippi
river in detail are as follows
Mississippi river-Southwest pass.
$400 900; head of passes to Ohio river,
including expenses of Mississippi
river commission, $6000,000. between
Ohio and Missouri rivers. $1,000, 900;
between Missouri river and Mime
apolis, $l.500,000 between Minneap-
oils and St Paul, $4,000; improving
Mississippi and Leech rivers, $4,000;
between Brajnerd and Grand Rapids.
Mimi, $4,000.
The Missouri river is on the list for
