SCHWERDTFECER'S CASE
IS REFERRED TO SYME
Corporation Counsel to Pass on the
Fireman's Claim for a
Disability Pension.

Granting of a pension to William A.
Schwerdtfeger, one of the firemen in
jured in the collapse of the American
Five and Ten Cent Store building De-
cember "a, probably will depend upon the
decision of Corporation Counsel Syme as
to whether or not a fireman is pension
able if he is suffering from a disease con-
tracted in part or aggravated by his
duties in the fire department
Commissioner Siddons has decided to
present this question to the Districts
legal adviser and until a decision is
rendered final action will not be taken
by the Commissioners. Schwerdtfeger's
retirement without pension was recon-
mended by Acting Fire Chief Sullivan
following an examination by the board of
police and fire surgeons. 1t was claimed
the fireman was suffering from a malady
contracted prior to his entering the Dis
trict service.
Schwerdtfeger protested and trial
board was appointed. The board, after
listening to testimony of an expert on
nervous diseases and other physicians to
the effect that the firemans experiences
in the ten-cent store fire would be suffi-
Gent to aggravate the disease with which
he is afflicted. recommended his retire
ment on pension of $50 month, the
maximum amount allowed for his grade.

Psychology Of the Happy Ending.
From the Atlantic Monthly.

The human heart has an unlimited ap-
petite for tales with triumphantly happy
endings. Not in cheap melodrama alone
are thwarted villainy and rewarded vir-
tue beloved. 1 sometimes please myself
by fancying that this taste, like most of
our deep. unreasoned preferences, may be
both a forecast and the means Of its own
fulfillment. Certain schools of new
thought" claim. I believe, that the uni
versal mind of our long belief is sub
conscious mind compelled by the law of
its being to respond to human suggestion
almost as unerringly as our own sub
merged seelys may respond. While this
notion strikes US old-fashioned folk as
distinctly impious. a kind of magic not to
dabble in rashly. 1t yet has the fascina-
ton of suggesting to audacious wits a
plausible method of remolding this sorry
scheme of things closer to the hearts de-
sire. Perhaps We all would be glad to be-
lieve that novelists. by setting Providence
a frequently repeated example of stories
with happy endings, were really doing
something toward making this world a
place where such endings are the rule.

EUROPEAN SPAS LOSE
$10O,0O0,0O0 ANNUALLY
Money Will Be Diverted to Ameri-
can Resorts With Radium-
Charged Water.

More than s1OO.OOOOOO annually ex-
pended by American health-seekers, who
during recent years, have felt themselves
dependent upon the European spas, will
be diverted to American resorts. where
as efficacious treatment can be obtained,
in the opinion of Surgeon General Rupert
Blue, head of the United States public
health service.
DIR. Blue says the waters Of American
springs, charged with radium, already
are preparing to care for these patients,
suggesting an unexpected use for this
rare element whose curative properties
in the treatment of cancer were given
widespread publicity through discussion
in Congress recently.
Commenting on the closing of the Ger
man and other spas. upon which so many
Americans feel themselves absolutely de-
pendent. DR.. Blue said:
There Is really no occasion for uneasi-
ness about the closing Of the baths
abroad. In the first place. we have springs
curative properties. In the case of pa
tents suffering from ailments that re-
spond to treatment by radium. 1t will be
a simple matter to charge pure water
with radium and use 1t for drinking, in
haling and bathing purposes"
The spas to which DR.. Blue has ref
erence and upon which persons Of means
in this country have been relying are at
Carlsbad. Baden-Baden. Nauhein1. Cas-
tein. Wiesbaden and Pistyan. They are
very popular with wheathy American vic
Tins of rheumatism and govt.
Fame Is Centuries Old.
The fame of these springs is centuries
old, but it is of comparatively recent
date that their curative properties have
been found to depend upon radium en-
anations. The discovery of radium by
Nine. Curie and the subsequent dem
onstration of it's wonderful physical
properties gave rise to the theory that
what had been known as the spirit of
the springs might claim this almost
supernatural substance as its origin.
theory into a fact, and led to the per-
lection of mechanism whereby one-bil
lionth of milligram of radium emana-
ton can be recognized and, measured.
Because of these facts, 1t is pointed
out here by government scientists. and
in view of the situation in Europe. it
is practically certain that artificial! ra-
dunn baths in the United States viii
supplant the European Spas. Institu
lions already have been established in
some American cities where the Euro
pean Spa treatment may be taken by
the use of prepared radium drinking
solutions. radium baths, radium earth
packs. etc, and because of the simplic-
ity of administration, physicians are
them in the home.
A careful estimate of the annual ex-
by American patients who
journey to the European spas is placed
we'll above the $1O0,O0O.OOO mark. This
sum, which has gone to foreign
owned companies and European hotels,
will, 1t is pointed out, be kept in the
United States and add another impos-
ing figure to the list of tremendous
OUTLAWS of money that will be diverted
from Europe in the next few years as
a result Of the war
