WANTS RADIUM USE
BETTER RESTRICTED
Dr.. Field Tells of Hospital for
Riverside DriUe.

The Radium Institute of New York.
privately endowed for the study and
treatment of malignant disease. particu-
larly cancer. opens formally to-day In
It's new building, 323 Riverside Drive.
It has been at 205 West Seventieth
street. The institute. which was organ
lied in 1914. is one Of the pioneer ra-
dium laboratories In the country.
DIR. c. Everett Field, director OF the
institute. spoke yesterday of the field
for radium therapy at time when sta
tistics show that one out or every ten
persons over 40 dies from cancer and
since radium treatment - now on the
same basis as surgery as a curative
agent for cancer. He said that In New
York city there are 10000 cancer pa
tients with only two institutions classed
as radium hospitals, the Memorial Hos
pital and the Radium Institute.
The advisability of standar1izing the
use of radium, due 20 the danger of It's
employment by over enthusiastic or in
experienced medical men, was COM
mente6 on by DR.. Field.
During tho last two years." said DR..
Field. "radium producing organizations
have sold radium in varying amounts TO
over 500 separate units or individual
users throughout the country. We rec
ognize that radium may be used in in
sufficient doses, or in cases in which IL Is
not intended 10 be used. or in such a way
that It damages healthy tissue unless
handled by a staff of competent men.
For this reason we have considered the
advisability of referring the question 20
the American Medical Association with
the request that they make some effort
to standardize radiun hospital work."

in North Woods.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
QUEBEC, Jan. AT q moment when
the plans for the trip Of Mrs. Anne
Urquhart Stiliman into the north woods

disaster. Jean Crete. Mayor OF Grandes
Piles, appeared at the Chateau F'ronte-
nae to-day with the most cheering news
she has heard since she arrived in
Canada. A postponement of the hear
ings al Montreal was being considered
when Mr.. Crete reached here. AS
result the tentative plans for further
delay of the divorce proceedings have
been abandoned.
Mayor Crete convinced Mrs. StillInan
that she never would be able to make
the trip and that it was not necessary
for her to do so. He offered. and his OFFER
was accepted, to go for the witnesses
and bring them TO Mrs. Stillman at his
home in Grandes Piles.
The Mayor says it Is necessary that
Fred X. Beauvais. the former guide,
named correspondent by the banker. be
permitted to aid in rounding up the
witnesses. Mrs. Stillman does not want
to agree to this.
The possibility that she might run
into Reauvais while in Canada was Mrs.
Stillman's greatest fear in leaving New
York city and was the reason she trav-
eled by way of Springfield, Mass, and
Sherbroolle. Canada, 10 get here.
