DEAR WENDT DISCUSSES
RADIUf AS CANCER CURE
Radon, Gas of Element, Used To
Combat Disease—May Be
Produced Cheaply
Willi llie undivided attention of
inoic than n bundled student* ns an
added incentive to an already engross
ing discourse on the us<* of i adiuin in
cancer, Dean Wendt, on Tuesday dem
onstrated bv slide* the lemaikablo
steps mude in the conqueung of this
dreaded disease.
“Cancer," said Dean Wendt, “is a
growth of cells that do not 1 elate
themselves to the pailicular pait of
the anatomy on winch they have
giovvn. By the compression of sur
rounding tissues and blood pressure,
tumors get their giowth It is a dis
ease which gencially affects people
past foit>-five \oars of age. Should a
youngei person contiact cancel it is
nearly always fatal." *
The use of radium in the cute of
cancel was made possible by the pio
duction on a lclalivcly large scale of
iadon, the gfts of radium, and by the
greatly developed technique in the use
of radon lays
More Cheaply Produced
Radon is in the same class as argon,
zenon, crypton, and helium It has
the same indio-activity as radium,
but has the advantage of being more
cheaply pioduced.
Some yems ago the gicat enthus
iasm for indium in the cuie of can
cel led to the excessive and uiulesn
nble application of radon in many dif
ferent ills In many cases the results
were hntmful This expei imentntion,
hovevei, made possible the cuie of
goitre by radium
In burning the tumor, a long needle
like instrument is insoitcd m a bodv
oiiftce, so that the innei end which
contains the tudon comes into direct
contact with the diseased tissues
Since iadon will affect noimnl tissues
as well, great caie must be oxeicisod
duung the opointion
The action of the lays is the same
as that of bums The dcstioved cell,
while no longei painful, affects the
adjacent cells tluough ncedic-secre
lions. If anv ongmal cancel colls are
left in the tumor the cure will not he
effected, foi they will poison the dif
ferent parts of the bodv
Sevei.il actual cass of cancer and
the vanous stages of its treatment
were shown on the screen. The tians
foimations aftei the use of indium
were tiulv remaikable. Even ad
vanced tumois that coveied almost
the entire face were removed, and
the features were almost entirely ic
stored

PLAYERS BEGIN WORK
ON “THE FIRST YEAR!’
(Continued from first page)
there will be only two understudies
for the whole play and this couple
will be trained to cany any part at
a moment’s notice. The cast is as fol
lows:
Mr. Livingstone, N. D. Zimmerman ’27
Mrs. Livingstone, Gertrude Smiley ’2B
Grace Livinj£itone Mabel Reed ’2B
Di Anderson-—— J. Mathe* '2B
Dick Lormg F. H. Kratz '27
Thomas Tucker 0 S Anderson '2B
Jlattie—- Anna Garbci ’29
Mrs Barstow— Ruth Warner '29
Thomas Lane ’2O and Doiothy Mus
sel ’27 have been selected as the
understudies.
“The Fast Year" was written by
Fiank Warren, who starred m its
exceptionally long run at the Little
Theatre, New ¥ork City. It is the
realistic portrayal of the first year
of married life. Wit, humor, tense
situations, hilarious moments and all
the other characteristics of a real
comedy abound.
Grace Livingstone and Dick Loring
are the lovers who finally marry.
Through misunderstanding of some
sort or other, ttouble anses and it is
only by the effort and skill of the
kindly old Dr. Amleison that the
tangle is straightened out. Thiough
it all Hattie, the colored maid, and
“Tommy” Tucker do much to keep
the audience in convulsions of
laughter
Many road trips arc pending but
the fust definite appearance of the
comedy will be at Harrisburg Novem
ber thirteenth Most likely it will be
placed there at the Tech Theatre
As an exchange number w ith Gettys
burg college “The First Year” will
be staged there on the following eve
ning, the fourteenth, under the aus
pices of the Owl and Nightingalo
Dramatic Club.
