Deaver, noted sur geon, in a recent address at the health day exercises of the Philadel phia Forum at the Academy of Mu sic in speaking of the treatment of (cancer by radium, stated: "I want to correct a false impres-, sion bf remarks made by. me in this city several months ago. 1 "I agree with those who use rad ium for-superficial malignancy. The money spent by the city in the pur chase of radium 5s well spent, and the results' of the splendid work be ing carried on by those in charge of lie city's radium are eminently grat ifying. ' "I 'still maintain, however, and am supported in my contention by eminent authorities here and abroad, that 'for certain internal conditions, for which it was hoped that radium would prove a cure, this hope has not yet been realized. Even radium ex perts agree with me that for these growths .in their early stages,, ope ration , is still the better . course to ' I - f , ' ... - : ' '- '-- purine. .'.

One of the most beautiful sights of the Far East a trip through the Island Sea, is re served for Edward, Prince of Wales, when he leaves here for Kobe to con tinue his tour of the empire as guest of the Japanese government. The Inland Sea, so-called because it lies almost enclose between Hondo, the. main island of the Japanese Em pire, and the southerly islands of Kyushu and Shikoku, itf 240 miles long from the east to. west, and var ies in breadth from eight to 40 miles. It is interspersed with" numberlcsss islets of various shapes and . sizes while the coast is highly indented. Passengers journeying to and from Kobe by steamer are filled with won der over the fascinating views which present themselves in ever changing variety. One of the three beautiful scenes of Japan is the "Sacred Island" of Miyajima, thickly wooded with pine, cypress, cherry and maple trees. According to tradition, JJiyajima has been a sacred spot for more than 18 centuries. Until the restoration in 1868, births and deaths were forbid den, on j,he island. 'Sacred, deer still winder about,' tame enough to feed from'one's hand.- The Itsukushima Shrine, the prin cipal shrine, of 'the island,' founded in 1614, is built on the beach, with a mountain rising straight up behind it. When the tide'flows,' the 'magn ificent buildings are surrounded by the blue sea and look like air-castles floatitig upon the waves. A favorite motive in Japanese art is the great red Torii, or "Sacred Shinto Gateway" which stands in the sea. This gateway is 45 feet n height and 76 feet in lenth at the top and consists of two great trunks' of cam- hor wood. Other features of interest are the Senjokaku, "Hall of One Thousand Mats", built by Hideyoshi ri 1587 and the Buddish Temple gateway the Ni-Omon, or Gate of the TW Klnjgs, near the top of Mount Mizen, the highest point op the is land. From this peak one can enjoy a magnificent panorama of the In land Sea. The long stretches of beach and small pine-fringed inlets, as well as the pine-clad islands and islets, apparently floating on the sea, havf already acquired a worid-wi(je re nown.:; GROUP COMMENCEMENT AT WIMBERLY COLORED SCHOOL Exercises were held In New Hope Baptist church in No. 7 township yesterday. .

WILSON DEFEATS ROCKY MOUNT IN OPENING OF THE VIRGINIA LEAGUE Frank' Walker's Tarheels did Hot stand the acid test against the Wil son Tobacconists in the opening con test of the Virginia league at Rocky Mount yesterday afternoon. The Tobacco Bugs found the ball an easy object and soon had Fried, the new portsider for Rocky Mount, on his way to the showers. Snyder who relieved him. was little more effec tive, allowing hits when the corners were soused. The final score was 13 to 1. Mayor Charlie Gay of Rocky Mt. pried the lid off by throwing' the first ball to the catcher, and the fans, shivering and wearing heavy wraps, soon forgot the bitiing wind and gave their undivided attention to what promised to be a tight affair. However, in the fourth inning, with two men on base, Thompson, for Wil son, placed the ball over the left field wall and tallied three runs. This was the undoing of the Tarheels and the visitors piled up a lead which kept them out of danger thruout the remaining half. Both Rocky Mount and Wilson have some good looking material in the field this season, and aiM4he time advances they are expected to have equal chances with any club for the pennant race. Bradley, a deaf and dumb player for Wilson, not only gave evidence of his ability to field the ball, but was equal to all occasions with the bat; however, his only handicap seemed to be that Clark. Wilson's manager, could not force him around the bases at the opportune moment, not being able to interpret the signals. The stands were packed to capac ity yesterday, and even though none cared for this type of game, all ap peared satisfied in seeing their first ball game of the season, if such K eould be called.
