U. S. PROBES
RADIUM, PAINT
WORK DANGERS
Attention Is Focused on
PeriIS by Suits of
Dying Women.
BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The
Department of Labor may make
national investigations into two in
creasing sources of workers peril
the handling of radium compounds,
and the use of spray guns in paint
ing.
The danger OF radium and meso-
thorium has been brought to public
attention by the recent suits in
New Jersey of five women, dying
years after they quit working with
radium. These suits were settled
out of court.
Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner
Of labor statistics, said seventeen
United States deaths are to be at
ributed to work in radiunn. Both
the department. and the United
States Public Health Service are be-
Ing appealed to for a Nationwide
survey, he said.
The bureau said radium settles
permanently in the bones, and al
though no>ill effects may be felt for
years, finally destroys the white
corpuscles and results in death from
pernicious anemia. No, cure or
palliative is known. Most manufac-
turerS are now taking elaborate pre-
cautions to guard their workers.
The spray-gun in painting fills
the air with particles Of paint. When
the latter contains benzol, as in the
case of quick-drying shellacs and
varnisheS, lead, as in ordinary
paints, or silica, as in special
preparations on pottery, they are
absorbed into the workers system.
Masks which will shut out the
paint, also cut off much air that
the workers can not breathe. Many
factories are having the paintng
done under hoods, with torrents Of
air carrying off the spray.

maintained his innocence. After
many years, he succeeded In win
ming wide support for his demand
that he be freed from a life SEN
tence.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator
of Sherlock Holmes, took charge Of
the case and spent many months
investigating it. He reached the
conclusion that Slater was innocent,
and summed up his reasons In a
book.
Several months ago the govern
ment ordered Skaters release. Not
satisfied, Slater appealed to the
Court Of Criminal Appeal-wi1ich
Gid not exist when he was con-
victed-so that the stain on his
character might be removed.
Today's decision leaves him where
he was before the crime was COM
mitted, legally, but he is an old,
broken man after twenty years OF
suffering.

LONG STEP BACKWARD.

The action of the Committee on
Ordinances Of the Common Council
q the City of Richmond in rejecting
the report OF it's own sub conmn tee
10 which was submitted the segrega
ton ordinance was both regrettab.e
and unfortunate. 1t is uncomfortable
that this action will stand in view
of the arguments advanced and time
taken to haImonize existing differ
ences and to prevent this injurious
advertisement of Richmond's advan
tages and opportunities for its
citizens of q darker hue.
We Shall note with interest the
final action in this matter. 1t ic a
Job for the conservative white folks
more than it is an opportunity for
the conservative colored ones. 1t
seems that some people went to fan
and arouse race hatred, rather than
promote and encourage an era of
good feeling between the white and
colored folks of this community.
We shall reserve some things that
We are disposed to say until we note
the final action in this most remark
able display Of race prejudice. -,

LONDON, May Somewhere in the jungles of central Africa, among wild beasts and savage peoples, London girl, Mrs. Thomas A. Glover, is trekking shoulder to shoulder with her hus- band through regions where 2 white woman never before has penetrated.
 A report that the Glovers, who left London about 15 months ago, had been killed by natives was received here. A later message. however, declared the intrepid couple were still safe and had been seen at Mas Tohod as late as February 3.
 Glover is an experienced explor CT, hardened by many seasons of pioneering in the worlds faraway' places. Mrs. Glover, slim young woman, immediately after their marriage, set out with her hus- band on the African expedition, seeking rare specimens of animal and vegetable life and taking pie lures.
 Not since last September have Gloyer's relatives in Manchester and his wife's family in London had direct word from the far

travellers. The young woman's 5 letters from various remote points in the dark continent reveal rare adventures, strange scenes, and arduous experiences.
 "The people here have sacred crocodile" she wrote from south ern Nigeria "They feed him on live fowls. In the old days it used to be children, particularly ba- bies.'
 A letter from Auchi told of a tremendous dance festival in our honor given by the native "chiee and all his big noises The last letter which Mrs. Glover's family has received was written on Sep tember 2S, last. from Faya, Barku, in French Occidental Africa. We arrived here on Monday after the hardest task even Thorn as says he has ever done" the dauntless young wife wrote.
