Radium Poisoning

Radium Poisoning
The news of the death of a
woman in New York from
chronic radium poisoning is &C
companied by the announce
ment that scientists at the Mas
Sachusetts Institute of Tech
nology are working on a method
to remove radium from bodies
of the victims of the poison
ing.
The woman, who died at the
age - 81, had been absorbing
rad - into her system for 10
yel - lie engaged in the work
of I"::.ring the luminous sub
stance on the dials and hands
of watches and clocks.
Her case is but another in
a chain of 20 which have come
to light in the New York dis
trict in the past seven years.
1 recall working in 1923 on
the story of THE Five Dying
Women" 1t sounded like a
page out of Poe or de MaupaS-
SAINT, and really it was. Doc
tors testified that these women
had only year to live, that
they would go as IS others OF
their families and working
circle had gone before them.
FIRST SYMPTOMS
Their story went back to the
introduction of the luminous
watchfaces about 20 years ago.
The novelty took on at once,
creating a new industry. The
painting had to be done by
hand and the substance de-
rivative of radium, was very
costly.
The women workers were in
structed to wet the camel's hair
brushes with their lips, instead
of dipping them in water which
would cause a loss of the ra-
dunn.
Constant illness and sporadic
deaths appeared among the
women. Extreme WEAKNESS was
the first symptom of the strange
malady. Next the teeth were
affected and disease Of the hip
joints followed, with SwellingS
on the wrists, shoulders and
joints.
Radium poisoning settles in
the bones. Its general attack is
on the blood-producing system
and it lowers the white cor
puscles, in contrast to anemia
which lowers the red corpuScles.
The Imperative element in
its emanations changes the bone
and structure and causes a
ruthless disintegration of tissue.

while, we hear the voice of the
announcer:
"Citizens of the world" he
says, you are about to partici-

the history of our civilization.
In a moments time $50 million

OTHER WORLDS
"Visits will be made to several
of the planets, to the Milky Way
galaxy and to another Universe.
On Mars, for example, you will
see objects the size of small
house.
you will see more than you
would if you actually visited
these distant worlds, for, even
were it possible to land upon
them, the conditions would be
so difficult, that only disjointed
details could be observed. We
are now ready. First of all, A
VISIT TO THE MOON"
In the darkened room dim
disk of light appears, filling the
screen. 1t grows brighter. We
might be gazing at the earth
through the window of an air
plane, flying at ormouS
height.
Gradually the disk more than
fills the screen. Now the sur
face of the Moon is but a few
hundred yards away. and slowly
we move over it.

Greatest Show On Earth
By John Snure, T.

Mr.. Wearin says that his
rural district is intensely inter
ested in foreign markets so that
the farmers might find places
to dispose Of crops.
He opposes the subsidies, how
ever.
In the countries where Mr..
Wearin Mould like to find
markets for his farmers prod
uce they pay subsidies.
England has paid them for
years.
The Japanese m er h ant
marine was declining rapidly
until the payment of subsidies
and now it has one of the finest
commercial services in the
world.
The giant liner Normandie,
the new queen of the seas, has
arrived in New York, crossing
the ocean in 1O7 hours.
When the United States builds
ships of that type and resumes
her place at the top of the
shipping world it may be time
for Mr.. Wearin to call a halt
on the payment of subsidies.
The competitors of the United
States, these nations whose
ships are carrying much of the
goods of the world, pay sub
sides and it was not until they
paid them that they were able
to corner the markets.
The advisory committee on
GllotmentS for the works pro-
gram has suggested that the
age limit for men in CiUilidn
Conservation Corps camps be
increased so as to permit en-
rollment of men oUer 28 gears
OF age.
1t was decided that it would
be necessary to expand this age
limit SO as to fill the CCC
quota of 100000 men.
Heretofore, many men on re-
lief rolls who were ineligible
because they were more than

The Human Side of the News
By Edwin C.. Hill

brought the attention of the
public to radium poisoning
when they sued the corporation
for which they had been paint
ing watches.
To the bizarre medical side of
the case was added an interest
ing legal phase when the de-
PENDANT pleaded the statute Of
limitations. The women, it was
commended, had allowed more
than two years to elapSe, since
they had contracted the dis
ease, before bringing action.
John A. Backes, vice chancel-
lor of New Jersey, ruled out this
defense on the ground that the
women we're suffering new
injuries daily because of the
progressive nature of the
disease. He said:
Suppose someone should
carelessly drop a match in my
field and it took ten years for
that burning field to reach my
house. Is my right of action
gone because it is ten years
since he committed the act of
carelessness? Or must he re-
SpOnd to me for the injury yes
terday which he started ten
years ago."
The action was settled out OF
court. Each of the five women
received $4,000, free medical
care and $4OO a year for life.
None died within the year as
had been predicted. TWO did
die five years later.
HOPEFUL PROGRESS
Their cases and the death of
a Pittsburgh steel man from
drinking radium water prompted
the search for a cure for radium
poisoning.
Professor Robley Evans of M.
I. T., had been studying it's
effects in the system for several
years, and has suggested a
1IlSGIlOu VI 81 oOudAAy 1CAAAONAlA6
radium from the body. The
institute in statement about
his research work says:
"Clinical studies of Prof.
Evans m e hods are being
carried on under the direction
of competent medical author
tiles. While hopeful progress
has been made and several Suf
fererS from radium poisoning
have shown improvement, it is
too early to determine the final
results of the treatment.
For the present, and until
further clinical evidence has
been obtained, discussion of the
method is premature"

The announcer describes the
volcanic craters, the meteor
craters, indicating the bottoms
of ancient seas, holding us spell
bound!
Another disk appears upon
the screen. We seem to be view
ing the tops of clouds as we ap-
proach Venus. The announcer
speaks, and as the clouds grow
closer, he points out thin spots
in them, but tells us we cannot
venture into them as yet, that
they grow thicker the deeper
one penetrates.
They extend down to the very
surface of the planet, where all
is impenetrable, steaming, warm
fog. At times we seem to be
gazing into the mouth OF
steaming crater.
From this astonishing scene
we turn to Mars.
IN OUR OWN HOMES
We are close to its surface,
skimming along over it slowly.
The huge deserts of sand, the
large areas of curious vegetation
are described by the announcer.
The much discussed canals"
and "oaseS" are not at all what
any of us had imagined.
Jupiter, like Venus, is en-
shrouded in clouds. The an
nouncer de scri bes it, after
which we pass on to Saturn,
where we find more clouds and
the most amazing sight of all
the great, Semi,transparent, ring
of small moons, completely en-
circling the huge globe.
Then a flood of soft light fills
the screen. It assumes an ell
liptical shape. We are approach
ing it at frightful speed. Stars
appear amid the soft light.
The announcer informs us we
are close to the great nebula in
Andromeda, known as M 81, an
other Universe! We are almost
million light years from home.
AS we gaze in awe at this
other universe, the announcer
shocks us by the statement that
we have stepped back in time
nine hundred thousand years!
We are looking at a universe as
it was almost a million years
ago!
The announcer signs off. The
lights come up. To our utter
amazement, we are sitting in
our own home!

no martyr. Nor any angel. Nor
have you been gypped or i'm
posed upon. You're just work
ing at fine job which will pay
you plenty of dividends if you
use any sense.
But you're NOT doing anyone
a Big Favor. Nor making any

SOME RELIEF
AS for your husband, you're
getting as much out of marriage
as he is, possibly far more.
You've done no more for him by
becoming his wife than he has
done for you by becoming your
husband.
If he should be grateful, so
should you. If you're passing
up good chances, so is he.
There are, to be sure. years
when you work and worry over
time. But you'd have those
years in business also. And
there are far more years, in
normal family life, when you
can sit back and take things
easy.
And even under the toughest
going, a wife knows occasional
relief from pressure which no
office girl can enjoy.
So firm up that trembling
lip and be your age, lady. You
worked overtime to get that
man. Then why go around
acting as if the poor sap
dragged you home by the hair?
