two suitors. Besides Peel, there was
Henry Curtis. Curtis won in the
courtship. He married Esther in Au-
gust, 1914, and Peel came to Kansas
City to be away from the scene that
held only sorrowful memories. The
husband of a year went to France
with the Canadian Army, and was re-
ported gassed and killed. Peel learned
of the widownood, and in 1916, per-
suaded Esther to wed. In 1919 Curtis
came home after months of delirium
in a hospital. He had been gassed
and listed as dead in action. "Not to
tell her, never to let her know" the
words of Tennyson's Enoch Arden, did
not occur to Henry Curtis. He found
trace of his wife and showed up in
the midst of seemingly happy mar
ried life. Esther was asked to choose.
She did Peel's request for divorce
was granted.

There were others in various stages
of disease, dress, manner and race.

lecturer" and showing the uses to
which radium can be put. This man
had the whole side Of his face ripped
by shrapnel. The doctors made new
face for him with skin gratis. But
he could not open his mouth more than
half an inch. By direct application Of
radium we were able to weave the skin
together, to rejoin the face, so to
speak"
The former soldier opened his
mouth widely, then talked with the
spectators.

BENEFIT OF RADIUM
in CANCER CASES
FIRST OPEN CLINIC HELD Al
NEW YORK ST-GRADUATE
HOHPITAL

in the dim corridor leading to a
lecture room in the New York Post
Graduate Hospital last Friday, non
Gescript score of men, women and
choldren were chatting IN low tones
From the lecture room came hum
of voices. The door opened. One by
one the group filed in.
Thus was begun the first puollc
demonstration of the effects OF radlum
upon malignant diseases.
To the spectators, seated IN cir-
cular row of student chairs, the radl-
um seemed to be bits Of tarnlshea
brass, resting insecurely upon the
speakers table. The observer for the
World had seen dentists and plumb
ers' trays that bore the same general
appearance.
The lecturer, DIR. George Stuart Will
lis, patted numbering farmer on a
face swathed in bandages. The far
nlers eyes smiled.
"All the way from Texas" said the
lecturer. "Cancerous growth thai
mars his features"
DR.. Willis uncovered the patient :
face. Inclosed in the bandages was a
tube of brass. Inside the tube was
another, and in that still another OF
glass. This contained the radlum thar
poure5 its rays into the affected mem
braneS.
The strips of cloth were replaced
The farmer numbered out OF the room
Twelve thousand dollars worth OF
radium under those bandages. eX-
tlained the lecturer "Three hours
each week he carries it next to his
face. He cannot leave the building,
and is constantly under guard.
He turned to boy of ten-a typ
ca child of the Slums.
Open your mouth" commanded the
lecturer,
The doctor trained a glow Of light
to the boys throat. His case was
cancerous growth. Here was disclosed
another method of applying ra@!Wa
A fine gold needle, threaded as those
of ordinary variety, bears in its tex
ture the requisite amount Of rad'un.
Because the growth is inaccessible 10
direct application the needle is thruS:
into the throat to the diseased ara.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1920-08-12

Then. as the lecturer explained, IL was
only a matter of time, circumstances
and repeated applications.
A negro patient, head bent, stepped
slowly up to the lecturer. DR.. Willis
passed his hands over the lean neck.
"The unfortunate thing about can
Ger and other malignat diseases" he
said slofly, "is the fact that most peo-
pie do not know thep are afflicted un-
til it is too late Here is case of the
disease working its way through the
throat glands. We have applied the
treatment to this man, and perhaps
will be successful enough to keep him
up year"
As if he had not heard, with a stol-
id air of Indifference, the negro walked
slowly out.
In the lull that followed, the lee
turer, having recourse to a black
board, explained the status of radium
treatment. Still in its experimental
stage, he said, no marvellous cures"
could lie predicted from its use. Its
value was unquestioned, though, even
with the limited scientific knowledge
of its nature and application, he said.
This much is known-rays of vary
ing intensity emanate from the metal.
1t is possible to regulate the strength
or rays concentrated to focus upon
diseased areas and to protect healthy
tissue from the burning rays.
Again the lecturer beckoned to a
nurse. A woman of sixty was brought
forward The lecturer leaned over her.
She had cancerous growth on one
shoulder-its origin unexplained, but
its existence and its possibilities un-
doubted. She was not entirely cured,
although her condition had rapidly i'm
proved.
women are prone to malignant dis
cases." explained the lecturer. Con
stitutionally they fall ready victims.
And the worst of it is, most Of them
do not know what faces them until
pain, which comes at an advanced
stage, drives them to physician and
then here"
Next the nurse escorted a we'll
dressed girl of eighteen whose throat
was burned.
"This girl was in fire" the lee
turere explained. "Her throat was
burned. That tightened the skin so
that she could not lift her head. We
applied radG.n. 1t softened the skin
unloosened the muscles so that
The girl tilted her chin far up.
Continued application will heal that
skin, we hope" the lecturer resumed.
a portly foreigner went forward.

Nature thought he was right,
and gave him twelve years. The
ape then appeared.
Chou shalt doubtless, willing

Nature; 'sthou wilt not have to

will be pleasant to thee"
"Ah, mol" cried he, so it may
seem to others but it will not be.

play merry tricks, and excite
laughter by my grimaces, and
then be rewarded with a sour ap-
pie. How often a sorrow lies con-

be able to endure for thirty
years"
Nature was gracious, and he re-
ceived but ten. At last came
man, healthy and strong, and
asked the measure Of his days.
"Will thirty years content
thee?"
"How short time! exclaimed
man. "When I shall have built

THE MEASURE OF MANS
DAYS,
DAYS.

When the world was created,
and all creatures assembled to
have their lifetime appointed, the
ass first advanced and asked how
long he would have to live.
Thirty years." replied Nature;
"Wil1 that be agreeable to thee?'
"A1asw answered the ass, ''it
is long while! Remember what
a weary existence will be mine;
from morning to night I shall have
to bear heavy burdens, dragging
corn sacks to the mill that others
may eat bread, while shall have
no encouragement nor be re-
freshed by anything but blows
and kicks. Give me a portion of
that time, pray"
Nature was moved with COM
passion and presented but eight
teen years. The ass went away
comforted, and the dog came for
ward.
"How long dost thou require to
liver" asked Nature. Thirty years
was too long for the ass, but wilt
thou be contented with them?"

my hearth; when the trees ! have
planted are about to bloom and
bear fruit, when life will seem to
be most desirable, I shall die.
Oh, Nature, grant me longer
period"
Chou shalt have the eighteen
years of the ass besides"
"That is not enough" replied
man.
"Take likewise the twelve years
of the dog"
ut is not yet sufficient reiter-
ated man give me more"
Il give then, the ten years of
the ape; in vain wilt thou claim

Man departed dissatisfied. Thus
man lives seventy years. The
first thirty are his human years,
and pass swiftly by. He is then
healthy and happy-he labors
cheerfully and rejoices in his ex-
istence. The eighteen years of
the ass come next, and burden
upon burden is heaped upon him;
he carries the corn that is to feed
others; blows and kicks are the
wages Of his faithful service.

SENATOR EDGE IN SPEECH
CRITIClSES MARINE BILL

Assator E.ge of New Jersey criticised
the Amar.caH rforchant marine bill now
before the Senate. in Il speech delivered
stead of bringing about private owner
ship of the American merchant marine.
the bill would force the government 70
retain possession because it would he
impossible for the Shipping Board to
sell ships under the restrictions imposed.
Il do not want the ships useleSsly
sacrificed. but ! do want tn" ships sold.
said the senator. Il do not want the
government TO continue administering
this business any longer than is abso-
lutely essential because | am convinced
that every additional day that it does
50 there will be that much greater def
icit charged against the taxpayers Of
the country and the assets in ships of
ships owned by the government will nat
ur;tliy dcpreciate more and more.
Without debate the Senate tentatively
adopted the committee amendments pro-
viding for reduced rail freight rates on
exports and imports providing they are
transported to or from this country in
American ships. Advocates of the pro-
vision said it was similar to plans used
by Germany and Japan in building up
their merchant marine.
Another committee amendment ex-
cmpting marine insurance pools from
the provision of the antitrust acts also
was accepted without discussion and
without a record vote. .E@l
