RADIUM ADDS VICTIM
2
Watch Dial Painting Fatal
to Another Woman
WEST ORANGE, N.J., Sept. 15.
the
Mrs. Anna Stasi, 27 years old, is
dead and there is one less name on
the (Book of Doom today.
Radium poisoning, contracted while
she painted watch dials for the United
States Radium comporation from 1918
to 1922, was given as the cause of
Mrs. Stasi's death. Fifteen of her
fellow workers have succumbed to the
slow poison, and fifteen times has
the "Book of Doom" been shortened.
The "book" consists of a secret
list of the company's employees who
painted
dials
and
who
apparently
face
the same fate. How many names still
remain on the book has not been re-
vealed.
