. RAD|UN DEATH

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 UN.S).
Photographic proof that Eben M.
Byers, Pittsburgh manufacturer
and sportsman, died as a direct
result of drinking "radium water"
for his health, is contained in the
current issue of the Journal OF
the American Medical Association.
The proof, in the form of pic
lures showing the radioactivity OF
bones from ByerS' skeleton, is sup
piled by DR.. Alexander I. Gettler,
toxicologist at Bellevue Hospital,
and DR.. Charles Norris, medical
examiner of New York.
One photograph shows there Is
enough radium in a femur from
ByerS' body to produce an image
on a Photographic plate. Another
plate shows much greater radio
activity in a vertebra from Byers'
skeleton. This plate shows the
vertebra can perfectly outline it.
self on the Photographic plate by
radium emanationS from the bone.
Two other plates show that
dangerous quantities of radium
were contained in ByerS' jawbone
and his teeth.
The authors of the article ac-
companying the photographs
state flatly Byers died as result
of drinking "radiothor," an ex-
pensive radioactive preparation,
for a period of five years.

FIRST AID SAVES
GIRL : LIFE

A knowledge of first aid work
possessed by Miss Betty Brown,
17-year-old Central High School
senior, proved a life saver to her
when she was injured yesterday
in a shedding mishap, according
to her mother, Mrs. T. r. Brown,
5100 block Kansas Ave. N. w.
While coasting down Fourth
Street Northwest, Miss Browns
sled crashed into the back of an
automobile at the intersection of
Hamilton Street. The girl Suf-
fered a deep cash in the head,
which severed an artery. Her
mother said:
Through her knowledge of
the amount Of pressure she
should put on such a wound
to stop the flow of blood, my
daughter probably saved her
own life. My husband had to
phone three doctors before he
found one at home. When he
arrived the flow of blood had
been stopped. After the wound
was dressed, my daughter went
back out into the street and,
with head bandaged, directed
traffic for the coasters"

warship De Zeven Provincien and
its mutinous crew with a single

Brig. Gen. William E. Mitchell as
Strikingly revealing the effective

Mitchell, former chief of the
Army Air Corps and the firebrand

not surprised that the mutineerS

Dutch flying boats dropped the

Nothing Else To Do
He said:
"Of course. the mutineers sur

bomb slammed down on their
decks because there was moth

the case with any ship. Air

of any boat that ever has been
or even can be built"
The former military air chief
pointed out that, from military
standpoint, a hundred-pound
bomb is not a heavy explosive
Yet, he went on, it did the work,
and did it effectively and speed

Mitchell added:
