IMPORTANCE OF LARGE X-RAY DOSES IS CITED Small Amounts Injure Cancer, Is Warning of Scientist. Fji Science Service CHICAGO, Sept. 30—The importance of using large doses of X-rays or radium in treating cancer of the lip was emphasized by Dr. Charles L. Martin of Baylor university medical school at the session here this week of the American Congress of Radiology. The danger of giving small doses of radium or X-rays lies in the fact that the tumor soon becomes | so radioresistant that radiation is j no longer effective. Dr. Martin explained. The surgeon who must then be called in can not understand why he was not consulted in the beginning. Dr, Martin cited statistics showing encouraging results with thi type of treatment he recommended. In one group of forty-two patients treated between 1925 and 1928. forty-one were alive at the end of five years. The one who did not survive died of a recurrence of the disease in the glands of the neck. Dr. Martin also described methods of treating cancer inside the mouth | with radium needles, and tumors glands. ‘MYSTERY MALADY' IS JUST DANDRUFF CASE go Worries of Soldier of Fortune Are Brought to End. £it U nited Press BUFFALO.

It enables its user to tell the time of day. or night, at a glance from anywhere on land, air, or sea. Set at any hour and minute, the actual time at that moment is shown for all degrees of longitude around the earth.

BY HELEN LINDSAY Times Staff Writer It isn’t a “battle of the sexes,” but it’s something bordering on that idea. For boys and girls in junior high school departments in the public schools have been given an opportunity to change places at the Calvin Kendall school, East Tenth and Wallace streets, in the choice of their club work. Manual training work, long recognized as the young male’s own particular hobby, has been offered as an elective subject for girls in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, while the boys are given an opportunity to don cooking aprons and headbands, and learn the culinaryart. When the selection first was suggested. school officials did not know just how much appeal there would be in this exchange. But boys do yearn to cook and taste, and little girls want to know how to use a hammer and saw without calling in the help of the man of the family. This was demon-

Intensive Campaign Topic at Closing Session of Conference. Plans for an extensive membership campaign were completed at the annual Indiana state Red Cross conference, which closed a two-day session Friday. Reports of the work done during the past year revealed that the activities of the

strated in the overcrowded conditions of both clubs. Only twenty-four boys were to be given opportunity to be in the “cooking club.” When Mrs. Elizabeth Witt, principal, went on a tour of inspection of the club work, during the first week of school, she found the class was over-croivded, and she had to use her best “sales talk” to persuade a group of the boys to join another type of club. The same situation existed in the manual training department. The girls showed a marked preference for working with pieces of wood, nails and varnish brushes to raising their voices in the chorus club. There was a decided lack of a desire for such a lady-like procedure. “We want them all to be happy in this club work,” Mrs. Witt explains. “After all, it doesn’t make so much difference what you choose to do, just so you get to exert that right to choose once in a while. For that reason, we dislike to influence any of the boys or girls to change their course, unless it is necessary. So far as possible, we shall let them retain their membership in the club of their choice.”

organization reached wartime proportions. More than five hundred delegates attended. Among the speakers at the conference were Miss Mabel T. Boardman, Washington, national secretary of the Red Cross, and a member of the central national committee; William Fortune, chairman of the Indianapolis chapter, and also a member of the central national committee and William H. Book, director of the state unemployment relief commission. State activities closed Friday. Home hygiene instructors were to hold a conference today, under the direction of Miss Margaret E. Dizney, nursing field representative, and Miss Helen Teal, executive secretary of the Indiana State Nurses’ Association.

Heaven? ‘When Dollar Goes to Hell,’ New Line.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—National issues are as a rule pretty heavy stuff for musical comedies. But one of the heaviest of them, inflation, inspires a series of appreciated gag-lines in one of this fall’s most ambitious productions. In a revue of current affairs just opening in Philadelphia the Goddess of Liberty chants to an astonished array of foreign diplomats that “America will be in Heaven when the dollar goes to hell!” This same revue sets another precedent for the American theater—ridicule of an American President. Herbert Hoover and Mrs.* Hoover are the target for satire, with Ogden Mills, Andrew Mellon, Henry L. Stimson and Dolly Gann figuring in it. The President and Mrs. Hoover are shown preparing to leave the White House on the day before inauguration. Mrs. Hoover argues in favor of taking some souvenirs from the White House. “We'll never be back here again.” she says plaintively, and the audiences in conservative Philadelphia, that gave Hoover one of his few majorities in the November election, cheered.

EMPLOYES MAY VOTE ON UNIONS BY NEXT WEEK Collective Bargaining to Be Settled by Poll of * Workers. Elections in several city mills and factories to determine the attitude of thousands of employes on representation by a company union or an outside labor group for collective bargaining may be held next week. Following an announcement made several weeks ago by J. W. Dewey, national labor representative of NRA, plans for elections in several Indianapolis mills and factories have been completed. Dewey, who made a preliminary inspection of indusry in Indianapolis recently, is expected to arrive here from Washington Monday. Stricken with an attack of bron- ! chitis on his last visit, to this city ! three weeks ago. Dewey was forced ito return to Washington before ( finishing his work in Evansville, I where he had been asked to attempt ! an adjustment of labor conditions. Dewey Calls Elections In an exclusive statement to The Times on his last visit, Dewey said he would be forced to call elections in several Indianapolis plants due jto the divergent opinions as to ! whether employes wanted company unions or wished to be organized by | outside labor groups. Mr. Dewey, at that time, stated I that NRA leaves the matter of representation for collective bargaining i entirely in the hands of the maj jority of workers in a concern. A mass meeting of employes of six j Indianapolis plants has been called ! for Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m. in Tomlinson Hall, according to an j announcement today by Fred Gal- | loway, state representative and | labor organizer. Give Ballot Instructions Mr. Galloway stated that the | meeting will be closed and will be i held for the purpose of instructing ! employes in the use of the ballot , and other instructions for the forthcoming elections to be held under j auspices of Mr. Dewey and other I NRA officials. j According to Galloway, employes of the Real Silk Hosiery Mills, the | American Hosiery Mills Inc., the | National Hosiery Mills, the P. R. ! Mallory Company, the United States Rubber Company and the Link Belt Company have been invited to attend the meeting. Mr. Dewey already had an election at the P. R.
