The tiny tumor on Marie'S right

suit of radium treatment, DR.. Ed
mund Kelly, Baltimore radiologist,
said today after an examination Of
the fraileSt of the Dionne quintu-
pletS. The tumor first was taken
for a birthmark.
while it has not diminished to
any appreciate extent in circum-
ference, it has lost in elevation and
seems to be in a %receding, quieScent
condition" he said. He explained
this was a normal and satisfactory
result of the radium treatment of
two weeks ago. The growth has
changed color from deep liver red
to dull gray.
DR.. Kelly expects the tumor to
shrink away entirely in a few
months. leaving only a small white
al If it doesn't, he will apply
more radium, he said.
While not dangerous now, the
growth if untreated might have led
to a fatal hemorrhage.
Head Nurse Louise De Kiriline
has come back to work bearing ugly
red scars from burns received
eleven days ago when a bottle Of
alcohol was ignited. I see a great
change" she said. They're much
bigger and better already. They're
gaining weight. But I'll be glad
when we get into the hospital.
Then we can do things right and
they'll grow like mushrooms"
