Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Columbia,
Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
I have had an opportunity to discuss our paper
with Dr. Flinn since I last wrote you, and while our discussion
was very satisfactory, still I doubt whether Dr. Flinn has any
constructive criticism to offer, at any rate he did not mention
same during our discussion.
In going over the manuscript submitted, there
are one or two additional points which have come to my attention:
In table 1, on page 3, I am unable to identify subject "D",
neither does Dr. Flinn recall where this data came from. I an
wondering if your notes will throw any light on this subject?
Table 2, page 5 - your stenographer has apparently neglected to
insert the minus sign before the exponent in this table.
The section of the paper submitted since.m
earlier remarks reads very well, and I don't believe that I can
make any suggestion which would be of a constructive nature.
It is quite evident that this paper will have to be long in order
to justly incorporate the data available, as well as satisfactor-
ily discuss same from a theoretical standpoint.
It seems to
me that the really important part of this would be the section
dealing primarily with the tests by the garma-ray of expired
air and the theoretical discussion. The section dealing with
the scintillation method and analysis of excretia is equally
as important from the standpoint of a complete survey of the
subject, but not as important at the moment in view of electro-
scopic examinations to be made on the girls who claim to be
suffering from "radium poisoning".
Under these circumstances I am wondering if
it might not be a good move not to delay publication until the
contemplated experiments regarding the scintillation method and
analysis of excretia are made, but to reserve this for a further
paper? I merely offer this su gestion for your consideration.
I had quite a discussion with Dr. Fialla on
Tureday of this week, regarding his proposed tests on the complain-
ants in the recent action. I might say that I submitted to Dr.
Craver three copies of our report, suggesting that he transmit one
