ANOTHER RADIUM VICTIM DIES HILLSIDE, N. J., April 1. Mrs. Emma Hussman, 37, one of the "five Radium" girls who contracted radium poisoning while painting luminous numerals on watch dials, is dead at her home here. The quintet, who eleven years ago were given but a year to live, sued the United States Radium Corporation in 1928. Only one of the five is still alive.
