NEW PROGRESS MADE IN
RADIUM CANCER CURE


NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Stimulat-
ed by recent visit to the United
States of Nine. Curie. its discoverer,
scientists in this country are making
new progress in treating cancer with
radium, according to. K. B. Moore,
chief chemist of the u. S. Bureau of
Mines
The highly scientific treatment of
disease by the use Of radium, how
ever, Mr.. Moore says, is successful
only when applied with the greatest
skill.
"All cancer cannot be so cured,
and It requires a skilled surgeon who
thoroughly understands the proper
dosage in order to get favorable re-
suits Mr.. Moore states.
"At the present time the United
States produces more Tadium than all
the rest of the world together.
From the beginning of the indus
try in 1913 to January, 1921, approx
jmatelv l15 drains Of radium element
have been produced in this country.
Probably not more than 40 grams
have been recovered from foreign
ores since the discovery of radium
by Nine Curie."
Mr. Moore sad that most of the
domestic production of radium is
from mines in Colorado.

ON WHEATLEY'S STOCK
Widow And Son To Resist, De-
claring Property Legally And
Properly Transferred

Seeking to collect $4,000 alleged
to be due the Commercial City bank,
which has been in process of liquida-
ton since January /, Sheriff }.uctus
Harvey Saturday levied on eleven
houses and a hummer CT Vacart lots
on Crawford and Forsyth streets and
Oglethorpe avenue, as the property
cf the estate of the late Crawford
Wheatley, president of the bank. The
property levied on was pointed out
to the sheriff by W. P. Wallis, of
Wallis & Fort, attorneys for Bradley
Hogg, liquidating agent in charge of
the bank. The levy was made under
a fl fla issued by State Superintend-
ent of Banks Bennett, to satisfy a
stock assessment of 100 per cent lev
led upon the stock held by the late
banker in his institution. Two fl fas
were issued, for $4,000 and $4,000
respectively, representing two stock
assessments.
1t is claimed, in addition that
Wheatley's account at the bank was
overdrawn $3.50.

Of rental cottages, and the undevelop-
ed Wheatley property in East Am

satisfy the claim.
Mrs. Wheatley and Charles Wheat
ley, it is alleged, came into possession
Of the property for valuable consid-
erations in each instance, part of the
land being transferred to them by
Crawford Wheatley about a year be-
fore his death, and the remainder at
least six months before the accident
which resulted in his death last De-
cember.
All of the remaining stockholders,
with one or two exceptions, it is said,
have paid the assessments levied upon
II cir stock by the liQuidating agent,
but inasmuch as Mr.. Wheatley owned
such large block Of the stock, little
cash has been realized in this man.
