E CANCER OF
CERVIX WITH RADIUM

Further knowledge concerning the
treatment OF cancer Of cervix with
radium was presented here today by
DR.. o. L. Noteworthy " San An
tonic before the iasc session OF the
group on s~ynecology obstetrics of
the Texas State Medical ASSOCIATION
convention. DR.. Noteworthy based
his report on a series Of 222 cases
which were examined at the Nors-
worthy radium clinic.
OF these 90 cases. 1T6 were heard
from since March 1929 from which
he was able TO obtain useful Statis-
tics. Dr.. Noteworthy explained his
tables of classification of this type
Of cancer cases. There were the pri-
mary cases which had received in
itial treatment at the clinic, those
which had received both radium and
operation. the operable. the inoper-
able. and the hopeless ones were
discussed.
Comparison OF the report made
at the Noteworthy radium clinic
with more than 20 surgical clinics
throughout the United StaWr and
Europe was made. ALTHOUGH these
reports showed wide variation in
operability and primary operative
mortality. there was little differ
ence in the five-year cures.
"Of the cases that recover from
the operation, radium offers an
equal chance for five-year cures
with that OF radical hysterectomy;
and about 15.6 percentage less NOR
tally" Or. Noteworthy said in con-
clus.on Of mis- paper.
Practically every kidney OF a per-
son Of adult age shows some struc-
tural damage due to injuries re-
ceived earlier in life. according to

day.
This deduction was reached after
an examination Of the kidneys of
100 consecutive patients in the post
norton room. and after a careful

The study revealed that early

at night.
But 1t Is only the beginning in
the development or a square
such as are found in some OF the
cities Of the country.
There should be, and n day will
be, two statues in Washington
Square.
One should be at the center OF
the north half OF the quare an
other at the center Of the south
half.
One OF these should be a statue
OF General Zachary Taylor. whose
name has historical significance
here.
Another might be a statue de-
plotting General Porfirio Diaz. who
launched from Brownsville the
revolution that landed him In the
presidential chair Of Mexico for a
stay Of more than a third Of a
a century.
There are a half dozen heroes
to select from.

Confederacy once served here. as

Brown.
or a statue might be erected %
the memory OF Even Cameron. a
member OF the Inflated Mier expe-
diticn. and for whom Cameron
county IS named.
In fact. there Is no dearth OF
heroes whose names might be hon
ored. All have local significance.
Perhaps a vote on the subject
might be taken at the proper time
These statues would cost consid-
cradle money. Maybe as much as
100000. Maybe less.

And their erection would establish

THE earliest original map of America in The
archives of the Library is that of Ruysch,
the German photographer, which is to be found
i'll the Librarys copy of the 1907 edition Of
ptoieny's Geographic. This map is Of interest
to moderns because, while it conveys some no
tion of the western continent which so lately
had been opened up to European, the precise
o,aticn of the United States appears as a vast
expanse OF water leading to Asia.
There also is on display in the Library q
copy of an earlier world map dated 1900, and
drawn by Juan de la Cosa, a companion Of
Columbus on his second voyage. Studded with
little pictures of cities and human beings and
animals, the representations of the outlines Of
Europe Africa and even Western Asia con-
form fairly accurately to what they are now
known to be, but the map-maker's conception
of the new world is shown to be hazy, to say
the least. This, of course, was inevitable in view
of the fact that only scattered parts Of it then
had been visited by white men.
In addition to these ancient tones, which
came into being during Columbus own life
tire, the Library of Congress owns possibly the
most exhaustive collection of modern works re-
lating to the discovery of America and its hero
which exists anywhere in the world. 1t is reg.
ulGrly locked to- by students of Columbiana as
one of the few abodes of authentic source ma
teral. Among the chief constituents are the
elaborate collections of John Boyd Thatcher.
and Henry Harrisse, both eminent authorities
on Columbus life and exploits. The latter COLI.
lection includes all of Harrisses working mate
rial, including his extensive, worldwide cor
respondence notes, card indexes and marginal
comments, made when he discovered new facts
concerning the navigator and his voyages.
In one Of the rotunda display cabinets, which
are an uDfailing magnet to all visitors to the
National Capital, are two gold and glass lOckets
purporting to contain bits of the ashes of Co
lunlbuS. They were transmitted with the
Thatcher collection of Americana, with the ex.
plantation that the engineer Castillo vouched for
the relics having been taken from the supposed
tomb of Columbus in Santo Domingo several
decades ago. The Library of Congress has
placed them on view merely at their face value,
never attempting to say whether or not the
ashes are authentic. Notwithstanding this,
however, in the Everett Columbus Codex and
the extremely rare books which first told the
world of the discovery of the Western HEM
isphere the spirit Of the immortal Genoese for
ever broods over the magnific ent structure which
faces the United States Capitol and is book
shelf owned by the whole American people.

Chron.c!2," published in 1893, also is
among the treasures of the Library OF Con-
gress. 1t is OF particular interest m conncc-
ton with Columbus day, because 1t shows that
there was no time lost in efforts being made to
rob Columbus of the glory of his achievement.
brief reference intimateS that one Martin
Behain, a German, sailing in the service of
the King OF Portugal, visited the new world
prior to the GenceSe. Investigation has shown,
however, that this passage does not occur in the
original manuscript fer the book, for the copy
reveals it TO be in hand entirely different
from that of Hartman Schedel, the compiler
Of the wo.k.
The Nuremberg Chronicle in the possession
of the Library is striking proof Of the remark
able fact that printing was an art which was
born virtually full grown. Printing from NOV
able types was not attempted until about the
middle of the fifteenth century and the COM
position OF this book and others of the same
period which repose in the burglar and fire
proof vaults of the Library compares very favor
ably with modern printing, in spite Of the fact
that they were produced only few years after
printing was really discovered.
The Chronicle is large volume Of many
pages, profusely Illustrated with woodcutS. In
cidentally it proves that taking pictures is by
no means modern. The compiler Of the Chron-
icle had only certain number Of cuts with
which to cmbelliSh the volume, which CORE
spends somewhat to the encyclopedias Of today,
containing history of the world as it was then
understood from earliest times down to the
latest news of the day, which happened to be
Columbus first voyage to America. This cir
cumstance did not feaze the enterprising make
up man OF old Nuremberg however, for evident
ly as che form was broken up he lifted from it
cuts to Use en- other pages At any rate iden-
teal woodcuts appear on different pages with
different tags. Thus, the likeness OF Bibhca!
character which looks out from one of the early
pages very likely will be encountered later on
as Roman Emperor and perhaps still later as
a medieval navigator.
The Library also is the possessor OF the first
printed biography of Columbus This is found
in its copy of the first polyglot edition of the
Scriptures, printed at Genoa in 1916. The story
of the life CT the discoverer appears In 1t as
marginal note to the Nineteenth Psalm, placed
there obviously in tribute to the deep religious
fervor which actuated Columbus undertakings.

ington Codex Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian
of Congress, says:
Forgery Of ancient manuscripts became an
industry only after the nineteenth century was
well under way, and the avdty Of collectors had
suggested opportunities for deception Now
this document was bought by Mr.. Edward Ever
EFT in 1918 and was in the unimpeachable pos
session of himself and his family in this coun-
try for more than 80 years.
There were four copies. Three were on
parchment OF these, two are IN Paris and
Genoa; the third has never been traced unless
this be it, DR.. Winsor, Mr.. Stevens and other
commentators refer to this copy as on the gen.
eral probabilities authentic. They did not have
opportunity to examine 1t, but their conclusion
indicates their inference from its lineage and
career.
ut is not one of the documents which con-
tribute to the investigator any new historical
facts It is rather literary memorial. 1t
gains its interest from the probability, or we
will say the possibility, that it was executed in
the presence of Columbus under his direct
order in subStantiation of his titles and prop
erty rights, and at what he felt to be crisis
in his career It is not in the autograph
of Columbus; it contains nowhere even the
signature of Columbus in autograph and yet it
brings u.s. in association at least, very near to
Columbus.
II cannot emit reference to the public
spirit of DR.. Everett evidenced by his treat
ment of this valuable possession. Recognizing
IL to be an historic memorial of national inter-
est he refused to commit it to the hazards and
extortions of commerce, but disposed Of it to
the national library at price which was nomi-
nal compared with its possible market value"
WHILE it is individually headlner in pop
w ular interest, the Ccdex is by no means
the only Columbus treasure the shelves of
the American peoples bookcase. Tiny, ancient
books of few crudely printed pages which
were the first press notices" OF Columbus

gems to be seen i'll the Library Of Congress
whose value often runs into thousands of dol
lars each.
Columbus landed at Lisbon upon his return
from the first voyage March 4, 1893, and
under date of March II he dispatched to
Gabriel, sometimes called Raphael Sanchez or
Sank, treasurer Of Ferdinand and Isabella, his
famous letter. written aboard his caravel re-
porting his discovery of the New World.

The Spanish ambassador to Rome at that
time was Cardinal Bernadin Carvajal, and on
July 10 his emnence delivered before Pope
Alexander vi an Grafton concerning this event
which printed in Rome, presumably by
PlannOh in that same year. This was the first
wide heraldng of the momentous discovery,
and a copy of this rare book is among the
treasures Of the Library Of Congress. Carvajals
announcement to the Pope was couched in this
wise:
And Christ placed under their ferdinand
and Isabea) rule the Fortunate Canarie Is
lands, the fertility of which has been ascer-
tanned to be wonderful. And He has lately dis
closed some other unknown ones towards the
Indies, which may be considered among the
most precious things on earth, and it is be-
lieved that they will be gained over to Chris
tianity by the emissaries of the King"
The history of the New World amply demon
strates that the cardinal forecast more accu-
rately than perhaps he himself imagined the
significance of Columbus discovery.
In the famous Peter Force collection, OF
which the Library is the depository is the rare
Verardi volume, which includes the text Of the
Columbus letter to Sanchez, and which was
printed in Barcelona in 1893, Illustrated by six
wOodcuts which depict Columbus exploits The
teZt of the letter is preceded by drama which
begins:
ITO the praise Of the most illustrious Ferdi-
nand, King of the SPANS. Bethica and Ora

the islands newly discovered in the Indian Sea-"
OF slightly later date, but of especial interest.
because it contains the first public suggestion
that the new world be called America, sug-
gestion which seems to have effectually side
tracked whatever disposition there may have
been to call it Columbia, is copy of "Cosmo-
graphic INTRODUCED" printed in 1907 and con-
tanning Martin Waldemuller's account of the
four voyages of Amerigo Vespucci. Here is the
text of the first known use of the word America:
But now that those parts have been more
extensively examined and another fourth part
has been discovered by Americas, I do not see
why We should rightly refuse to name it Amer
lea, namely the land of Americas or Amer
ica after its dscoverer, Americas, a man of
sagacious mind, since both Europe and Asia
took their names from women"
From this it would appear that Waldemuller
was actuated not only by desire to honor the
subject of his writing but also by an ingrowing
conviction that the gentler sex already had
