WOMEN VICTIMS
OF RADIUM PAINT
MAY Get BETTER
Science Holds Out New
Hope For Recovery Of
Five Martyrs"
BY HARRY R. zANDER
(Clited Press Staff Correspondent
(CCuvripht 1929 bv United Press)


NEW YORK, Feb. 12. - Five
young women who were expected to
die within a year because Of sup
posed radium poisoning, have been
given new hopes Of prolonged life
by a new scientific opinion, the
United Press learned today.
The five Young women who
"pointed tiny brushes with their
lips to paint luminous dials upon
watches which American soldiers
were to wear into the trenches of
France in 1917 and 1918 wcr" doomed
to die because, science said, the in
finitesimal portions Of radium
which they had absorbed, had at
tachcd themselves to their bones
and were breaking down the red
and white corpuscles of the blood
through a terrific bombardment of
alpha rays.
But now science has made see
ord guess. it may not have been
radium after all it may have been
mcsothorium, which although 20
times more radioactive than radium,
is soluble while radium salts are not.
And the mesothorium may be climi-
mated from the bodies.
The afflicted women are slightly
worse, attending doctors say. than
they were last June when the United
States Radium Corporation, for
whom they had worked when they
contracted their ailments, settled
upon each of them $4,000 and a
pension of $50 a month 50 long as
they should live.
But Dr. Robert f. Humphries of
the Orthopedic hospital at Newark,
y. j., who has treated them since
their symptoms first began to mani
fest themselves said he had hopes
that their mcager expectancy of
life last summer may be indefinite
ly prolonged
The five women are Miss Grace
Prayer, Mrs. Albina Larice, and
Mrs. Quinta Mcdonald, Orange, \
j.; Miss Katherine Schaub, Newark
and Mrs Edna Hussman, Hillside

SOLEMN MOMENT
AS POPE GIVES
WORLD BLESSING
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

ROME, Feb. 12.-Whuc a rreat
multitude in the vast square in front
of St Peters paid him homage
Pope Plus XI appeared on balcony
today and gave his blessing to the
whole world.
1t was the crowning act of the
pope's day of triumph, in which he
celebrated the seventh anniversary
of his coronation and the consum-
nation of peace between the Vatican
md Italy after 50 years of cstrange-
mcnt.
The blessing "urbis ct orbi3' (of
the city and the world) came at the
conclusion Of a pontifical high Mass
n the cathedral, which was attended
by crowd that filled every avail
bic inch of space.
The blessing was significant of
the pope's changed status and the
restoration of his temporal sover-
eighty. was a custom abandoned
by the popes in 1870, when they re
tired into seclusion in the Vatican.
1t was revived only twice, by the
present pope, once at his election
and again at his coronation. Then
he returned to the precedent Of his
predecessors and for seven years the
blessing had not been bestowed.
1t was estimated that the blessing
was bestowed in the presence of
100000 persons. The pope appeared
on the balcony accompanied by a
cross-bearer, the college of cardinals
in their scarlet robes, and the mem
bers of the papal court. 1t was a
pageant of medieval splondor.
The crowd was one of the greatest
ever gathered in the square. All
turned toward the mighty facade of
the church, which would hold ne
more, During the morning, all traf
fic in the city seemed convcrging to-
ward st. Peter 5.
