'Below is a -despatch from New

"New York,=Mrs+ Quinta McDon-

men doomed to death by medical
scientists sixlteen inonths ago when it
was "found that their systems were

• now a question of days, perhaps of
hours. The five women worked for
the United States Radium Corpora-
•tion of Orange, N.J., and their tasks
seemed innocent enough -to apply
luminous paint to watch diads. But in
-using their- lips to point the brushes
they absorbed infinitesmal quantities
of radium. Several years elapsed be-
fore the poison showed its effects, be-
ginning with toothache, sore limbs and
general fatigue. At first physicians
were baffled, but when the diagnose
were properly made it was found that
the women were doomed to die. Early
in June, 1928, the women, each of
whom had sued the corporation for
$250,000 damages; received compensa-
tion awards by private settlement of
$10,000 cash, a $600 yearly pension
and expert medical treatment. Their
court and other legal expenseswere
also defrayed, The victims of
dreaded radium necrosis. besides Mrs.
McDonald, are her sister, Mrs. Albina
Lance of 463 Austin Place, Orange;
Mrs. Edna Hussman of 50 Buchanan
Street, Hillside; Miss Katherine
Schaub, of 147 South Seventh Street,
Newark, and Miss Grace Fryer of 497
Tremont Avenue, Orange. Mrs. Mc-
Donald, who is 34 years of age, is the
mother of two children. She has ac-
cepted her fate as have the other four,
with stoic resignation. Her ,one worry
has been the children. and .she has had
little time to look after them. being
confined to hospital most of the time
during the last two years. Her sister
is quite lame. Miss Schaub has Had
several operations and is unable to
walla Miss Hussman's chief suffering
so far. has been with her teeth. Miss
Fryer. who has been working for a
financial firm in Newark, has had a
number of operations performed on
her jaw,
"Dr. Robert E. Humphries, chief
surgeon of the New Jersey Orthoped-
ic Hospital, describes radium activity
within the body as "the slow burning
top of the human frame." The particles
attack the bones in every part of the
skeleton. and it is believed that the
disintegration of the bones, a very
slow process, is the reason why the
disease is not perceived even by the
victim, until two to four years after
the infection."

problems of feeding and management
common to each class. The 1930 cal-
endar offers an additional privilege
to the ,Short Course students in the
tform of a six -clay course in farts
meats. ..
