SEEKS ABOLITION
OF RADIUM PAINT
Commissioner Of Labor Statistics
Holds Luminous Industry Re-
s sponsible for Fatalities.
BY the Associated Press.


Adjustment of the use Of radium
paint for making luminous dials on
watches and clocks is recommended IN
a bulletin on radium poisoning issued
by E. Ethelbert Stewart commissioner
of the Labor Departments Bureau OF
Labor Statistics.
He said that the trail Of death that
the industry had made would suggest
that importation might well be pro-
hibited at once and then a mutual
agreement for its abolition be secured
In the United States.
An inspection was made OF 81 eStap-
1ishmentS in which 253 workers were
directly subjected to possible harmful
exposure to radioactive substances OF
various degrees Of strength, Mr.. Stew
art said. He added that total OF Is
fatalities and 10 living cases were dis
covered which "were apparently the re-
suit Of poisoning from radioactive ma
terials."
A large percentage of American man
ufacturers were said to have Signif1ed
their willingness to stop the business
entirely provided the others join in the
agreement and importation of luminous
dials and watches can be prohibited.
The bulletin suggested that Gin view
of the proved cumulative effects OF
radium used industrially in finite
small quantities, the possible i'll edects
of the use of relatively large amounts
in the cure or removal Of cancers
should be studied by medical organiza-
tion&"

tariff BILL STUDY
MAY DELAY SENATE
September l Is Held More Likely
Date for Recovering
Than August 10.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Prospects of rounding UP q quorum
Of the Senate in mid-August for resum-
ing the extra session are beginning to
appear remote.
If the finance committee has COM
pleted its rewriting Of the House tariff
measure by that time, the membership
will be on hand, otherwise it won't.
From the far-away corners of the Ma
ton and from overseas, vacationing
Senator'S are pouring inquiries into the
Capital about the prospects of the tariff
measure being ready by August 10, the
reconvenine date. The answers of the
weary secretaries are still indefinite.
The Republican members of the
finance committee who have under
taken the rewriting Of the House tariff
bill are toiling away long hours each
day, but the work Is proving bit more
severe than expected. September
seems to be better guess than August
10 as the day when the bill will be
ready for the Senate.
Chairman Smoot has decided to re-
open the hearings on August z, just for
one day, on the sliding scale proposal
he is preparing as substitute for the
fiat increases in the sugar duty voted
by the House. He is receiving protests
from the sugar beet growers on the
proposal, which has not been made pub
lie.
Despite the slow progress in the COM
mittee on rewriting of the tariff meas
ure, Senator Watson of Indiana, the
Republican leader and the ranking
member of the committee, is demand
ing that the work be completed before
August 10. He wants to get started in
the Senate. with this highly controver-
sial legislation as early as possible.
The long hours and hot weather are
having their effect on the Republican
committeeman. Reports come from the
committee room of some sharp words
as the members disagree over the vari-
Gus duties. Nevertheless, all leave
smiling as the doors are opened at 5
o'clock in the evening.

AGRICULTURE SECRETARY'S
 WIFE IS REAL DIRT FARMER

TRENTON. Mo, April GA prac- tical minded dirt farmer, herself the owner of four farms, is Mrs. Arthur M. Hyde, wife of the new secretary of agriculture.
 Mrs. Hyde goes to Washington equipped with abilities as official hostess gained while her husband was Missouri's governor. Behind her life as the wife of a public of ficial lies a girlhood spent on her fathers 1,00O-acre cattle farm. Un- til she was g years old she lived there,
 Secretary Hyde's appointment came as his wife was busy planning spring improvements on her farms, which she personally manages.
 T don't see how I can manage my farms by correspondence" she said. T prefer to inspect them my self"
 One farm is stocked with Guern- sey cattle. One summer, Mrs. Hyde went north to make personal se- lection of herds from which she would buy. Later she sent her resident farm managers to pur- chase her choices.
 Arthur, you know, is a town boy,' she reminisced. "He had a farm until recently, a 50o-acre farm. I didn't manage it, but some times I was his adviser"
 Mrs. Hyde's practical view of ag- riculture was demonstrated last fall when she refused to sell her timo- thy seed. She ordered it stored for the winter, anticipating an ad- vance in price. Now it is worth 75 cents more a bushel.
