WILL SUBMIT TO SCIENTIHC EXPERIMENTS IN HOPE OF FINDING CURE FOR BAFFLING MALADY—EACH OF FIVE GIRLS SUING FOR $250,000 By JAMES L. KILGALLEN International News Service Staff
Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 29.—Two of the five New Jersey girls who are said to be doomed to die of radium poisoning, contracted while they were in the employ of the United States radium corporation at Orange, N. J. today had volunteered to submit to scientific experiments In the hope that a cure may be found lor the
dreaded malady.
They are Miss Katherine Schaub, of Newark and Mrs. Edna llussman of Hillside. Bodies of radium poisoned persons have been examined and experimented on frequently after death, nut never have scientists been given reign in cases of living victims. "I will submit willingly to experiments when Dr. Humphries (Dr. Kobc. ’’uii’T'hrl.e.H, of Orthopaedic Hos pital, Orange) says the word,” said Mrs. Hussman today. Damage suits aggregating $1,250,000 filed against the company by Miss Schaub, Mrs. Hussman and the three other plaintiffs, Miss Grace Fryer, Mrs. Quinta McDonald and Mrs. Albina Larice, are expected to go to joint trial on Friday, June 9 be-

THE VONCASTLE Ronald Uolman and Vilma Hanky Co-Star in “The Magic Flame” Smell of sawdust, ear piercing barkers, roar of wild animals, popcorn peanuts and pink lemonade, wide-ey-ed children and large canvas tents. The circus has come to town! “The Magic Flame,” Henry King’s great production for Samuel Goldwyn, opened at the Voneastle theatre today for a two-day engagement. The picture contains all the time-honored traditional acts, lacking which no circus would be worthy the name. In addition it is the greatest romantic love story this pair has yet brought to the
screen.
The opening sequence shows Ronald Cfolman as Tito, the clown, and Vilma Banky, as Bianca, the tight rope walker. Such a clown and such an acrobat! Who would suspect the cavalier Ronald of “The Night of Love” or the dashing engineer of “Barbara Worth” could don the make up and transport himself into such a

Silverton town officials conspired io bring about the opening of a saloon iu the town, and that by the terms of the conspiracy the saloonkeeper was to be allowed to operate in open defiance of law provided he figreed to pay frequent “fines.” The “fines” according to allegations amounted to $100 and “costs”, the costs running to $9.75. The frequency of the fines was regulated by the amount of business done by alleg ed saloonkeepers, according to federal authorities wdto also charge tha* the town officiate instead of attempt ing to curb dry law violations, encouraged illicit liquor traffic. Whether the city treasury of Silverton benefltted from the "license” system is still under investigation.

aviators declare.
The parachute, thus far the only known and tested safety device for those who are stranded high above the earth in a frail machine of whistling wires and struts, is as important as the airplane engine, aviators say. When the engine fails the parachute is the only resort left. As soon as the general run of aerial passengers realize tbc parachute makes their safety in the air practically certain, Army fliets says, commercial ^ iat'-" will show e far greater expansion of pas-
senger carrying air lines.
The most important advantage of parachute practice, say those who have made the leap, is that it instills
confidence in the jumper.
