Need Radium in Fight on Cancer

Movement on Foot to Substitute Meso-Thorium in Making Luminous Materials. MEDICAL DEMAND IS GREAT Physicians and Chemists Feel That Everything Possible Should Be Done to Conserve Radium for Therapeutic Purposes. Schenectady, N. Y. —So great Is the demand for radium in the treatment of cancer and various malignant diseases, that a movement is now on foot for withdrawing It as much as possible from the manufacture of luminous dials and other Industrial purposes, so that It may be employed for the treatment of human ills. How this is being effected was told by Dr. Harlan S. Miner, a Philadelphia chemist, who addressed the eastern section of the American Chemical society at Union college in this City. The substance advocated as a substitute is mesorthorium, a by-product obtained In the manufacture of thorium, a mineral which is extensively employed in the manufacture of gas mantles. Cornea From Brazil and India. The ores from which thorium Is made are Imported largely from Brazil and India, although there is a limited supply available In the United States. Meso-thorium can be seen at night and therefore Is an Ingredient of the paint which is used In the marking of clock faces, Watch dials and range finders which can be read in the dark. The demand for such appliances In the trenches during the European war greatly stimulated their manufacture both here and abroad, and although they are no longer military necessities they have an extensive vogue in these days of peace. Thorium is Itself radio-active, but Is chiefly valuable because when mixed with one or two per cent of cerium oxide and heated it gives out a powerful radiance. Its use Is increasing because municipalities are accepting a heat unit rather than a candlepower standard for illuminating gas, and the demand -tor mantles is likely to extend. Consequently the facilities for making the by-product meso-thori-um, which would not be commercially practical of Itself, are being augmented. / “Companies, which’ are now manufacturing thorium,” said .Dr. Miner, “have ever since 1914 been developing their outputs of meso-thorium, and there has been special activity along those lines in the last few months. The demand for radium in the treatment of cancer and for other medical purposes Is now so great that both physicians and’chemists feel that everything possible should be done to conserve it exclusively for therapeutic

purposes. If radium is kept in the large hospitals and sanitaria for the relief of malignant diseases, it naturally will be held intact. The losses from its emanations are so slight that it can be used for centuries without any appreciable diminution in its properties. As everything is being done by the medical profession to concentrate the supply ip this way, the consensus is that it should be held where it will do the most service to humanity.

Erect Memorial to General U. S. Grant

Grand Statue at Washington Is Nearly Finished. Second Largest Equestrian Statue in the World Has Been Eighteen Years in the Making. Washington.—Eighteen years in the making, a memorial to Gen. U. S. Grant is nearing completion here, and probably will be unveiled before the end of the year. It is in the form of a magnificent equestrian statue of bronze, the second largest of its kind in the world, mounted on a granite pedestal and flanked on the left by a casting of a group of cavalry and on the right by a group of artillery, both groups done in bronze. Two huge/llons in stone at the foot of the pedestal complete the memorial. The equestrian figure stands 16 feet high, weighs 10,700 pounds and costs $250,000. The memorial is located in the botanic gardens at the foot of the capitol grounds, and congress has approved removal of a section of the iron fence on the east front of the gardens to admit the statue and to provide space for spectators at the unveiling ceremonies. Authority for the creation of the memorial was given by congress on Feb. 23,1901. The competition for the statue was held in 1902 and the award was to Henry M. Shrady, a noted sculptor of Elmsford, N. "Y., whose design was selected by a jury consisting of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Daniel Chester French, Daniel H. Burnham and Charles F. McKim. The pedestal was designed by Edward Pierce Casey of New York, associated with Mr. Shrady, and was completed and put in place in 1906. The equestrian statue has just now

used are likely to be lost, mislaid or destroyed, when the supply of the element becomes so widely distributed that the chances for recovering it would be slight “It happens, however, that there are also manufacturers of luminous materials who are in a position to derive both radium and meso-thorium from certain minerals, and they are inclined to set aside their radium for medical purposes and to use the meso-thorlum, which is chemically identified with radium,, as a luminous material. Although there has been some difference of opinion in the medical profession as to the value of radium in the treatment of maladies, there is much to indicate that it and radio-active substances generally have an important part practice of the healing art” Dr. Miner also described at length the uses of other rare earths such as cerium and zirconium in the arts and sciences.

COST DEPENDS ON THE DAY

Weddings on Monday in Holland Bring 40 Cents—Saturday Bargain Day. The Hague.—The cost of getting married in The Hague all depends on the day of the week. For some reason that has never been explained Monday is society day and marriages on that day at the city hall, where every couple must go for the official ceremony, cost 60 guilders (nominally equivalent to 40 cents each). On Saturday the charge is 5 'guilders, or nothing at all, depending upon whether the couple wish a separate ceremony all for themselves or be married in groups of twenty couples at a time.
