EXTRACT Of LIVER
USED FOR CANCER
New Treatment Discovered
by Canadian Brings En-
couraging Results.

By Science Service
LONDON, Ontario, September Ii
Liver extract is the latest addition to
the long list of weapons with which
medical science seeks to stem the ris-
ing cancer death rate.
The work with liver extract. which
In the United States has been used
with some success in treating high
blood pressures, was initiated by DIR.
John r. Hewitt of the medical school
at the University Of Western Ontario.
He based his theory on the fact that
since the liver Is disproportionately
large during embryonic life, when it
does not secrete bile, it must have
some other function. It's relatively
large size suggested that 1t might ex-
ercise some influence on the extraor-
binary growth that the human body
undergoes during the embryonic
period. AS cancer is a manifestation
Of abnormal cellular growth, DR..

SCIENTIST FINDS
MISSING RAD|UM
Georgia Professor Has Used
Electroscope to Locate $780,
600 Lost at Hospitals.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Spscial Dispatch to The STAR
ATLANTA. September 1I.-Prof. J
r. Edwards, head of the department
of physics at Georgia School of Tech
nofogy, has won the title of radiun
detective by recovering over $50 .00(
worth of lost radium from ashes
dump heaps and trash piles. where
tiny needles of the precious stuff hac
been thrown by mistake after being
used in the treatment of patients suf
fering from cancer.
In each of his successful hunts for
radium at hospitals in various parts
of the South, Prof. Edwards had been
guided by the gold leaf Of an electro
scope.
Running up and down the center OF
the glass box which comprises the
greater part of the electroscope is an
amber rod. Attached to this rod is
O. gold leaf. When the knob at the
top of the rod is rubbed briskly and
in that way charged with electricity
the gold leaf stands out from the up
right piece Of amber After this is
done, if the electroscope is brought
within Is feet of radium. even though
that strange material Is shut within
q steel safe, the gold leaf will begin ro
drop down again to it's original posi-
ton.
The effect Of the radium. penetrat
ing through steel, rock, concrete or
any other known substance, is tc
break down the electrical current S$
porting the leaf OF gold and cause il
to sink back to its place alongside
the amber rod
Guided by such movements of the
gold leaf, Prof. Edwards has re
covered lost radium in Atlanta
Macon, Americus, Rome, Thomas
Vile, Ga; Spartanburg, S. c.. and New
Orleans.
III several instances the radium re
covered had been thrown by mistake
into the incinerator and had lain there
for hours In a blazing fire, but came
out unhurt. for such q thing as fire
cannot harm this substance, which
throws off radiations continually, yet
is never reduced in size or in activity
and probably will be effective for
10000 years or more.
Prof Edwards has just returned
from New Orleans, where he pursued
his seventh successful search for lost
radium. His experience there was
typical of the radium hunts he has
conducted during the last few years
in various parts of the South.
Radium contained IN tiny needles
vs.
a patient suffering from cancer.
There were five of these needles in
all. When a check-up was made at
the end of the day ii was found that
one was missing. AS later develop
ments proved, it had been thrown
into the moderator with the band
ages.
Being aware that Prof. Edwards
was becoming nationally known as
the radium detective, the hospital
wired him, and he went at once from
Atlanta to New Orleans. A review
of all the facts convinced him that
the furnace room was the likely place
10 begin his search. He charged his
electroscope, placed it on the fur
mace floor close to a heap Of ashes
and the gold leaf dropped. BY the
rapidity with which the leaf moved
he estimated the distance of the lost
radium from the electroscope, picked
UP q handful of ashes and there
was the missing needle, worth sew
eral thousand dollars.

Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. = Senator
William M. Butler of Massachusetts is
not very talkative politician.
This is fortunate, because, when he
does say something political, it gen
orally is something that would have
been, politically, far better left un-
said.
His recent offering on the subject
of the tariff was case in point.
| The tariff is an excellent thing,
| just now for democrats to discuss,
At worst they risk nothing by doing
lit and they may gain votes by it.
It's an equally good hting for admin
istration republicans to keep still
about, because their party's split on
it, and the more they say the more
the split is apt to widen.
AS all men know, industrial eastern.
republicanism likes the present high
tariff because it protests the indus
tries.
AS everybody knows further, agri.
cultural western republicanism wants
the tariff lowered, on the ground
that it doesn't protect farm products
but does make the farmers pay ex>
cessive prices TO reverything they
have to buy
Nobody doubts that the industrial
folk will do their best to hang onto
protection, but it's clear that they
should make as little noise about it
as possible, lest they enrage the
faremrs into voting the other way
or turning insurgent.
Now along comes Senator Butler
with the remark that the tariff not
only isn't too high, but, so far as
his particular industry = textiles = is
concerned, it isn't high enough. That.
he adds is what is the matter with
the textile industry which is de-
pressed, or processes to be.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
BLIGHTED AMBITION

When ladies, once welded to great
millionaires,
Dissever the ties that nave bound
them,
And seek to be free from the finan,
cial cares
Which have suddenly clustered around
them,
They turn to the stage as matter
of course,
And their beauty and grace and SIM
plicity,
Combined with the news of their
latest divorce,
Assures them abundant publicity.
And there they are promptly engaged
for part
And add for time to the uplift Of
art.
One thinks that the wifc-or in this
case-the wives
OF a monarch once awed and re.
spected,
Who have lived in a palace for most
Of their lives
Most lavishly clothed and protected
When freed from the ties to their
Would be clad with a glroious CLAM"
our,
Which would lead the producers with
one glad accord
To welcome them all to the drammer.
One would think that covey of
once haughtey queens
Would be starred on the stage-or at
least on the screens.
But the wives of the Sultan, though
perfectly free
And eager to make an impression,
Have been seeking in vain, on both
sides of the sea,
To enter the acting profession.
The managers glance at the faces
that smile
Under red, or Circassion or black
tresses,
And merely observe: ''Weli, you're
not just the style;
Or: cat present We're stocked up with
actresses"
In vain for engagements the poor
creatures dicker.
Which proves that the Sultan was
not good picker.
