DENVER. Col —A ray of light. J that is a veritable beacon of hope,] has penetrated the black mists of despair which for centuries hasi enveloped sufferers from the! scourge of cancer. It is contained in a report lakl before the American Chemical So-: ciety, now holding a meeting here,' by Dr. Ellice McDonald, director, and Dr. A. J. Allen, physicist, of the cancer research laboratories ] of the University of Pennsylvania! and is in effect a description of] the latest weapon discovered by ii science for use in its incessant I war on disease. It Is described as a “new force" ] for producing disease-killing rays within the human body, making iti possible for the deep-seated roots] of cancer to be reached by the i ultra-violet rays. The rays are planted in the body like bombs by injecting certain chemicals into the affected area, where they remain latent until subjected to X-rays. Then they transform into ultra-violet flares: and literally bombard the nucleus] of the cancer cell until it is de] stroyed. The chemicals used in the procedure are made from plants or animals. When they are “lighted up" under the X-rays their range varies from lengths of from 3,000 down to 2.000 angstrom units, which in non-technical language means that the rays are shorter and much more powerful than any ultraviolet rays reaching the earth from the sun. The rays are deadly to all body! cells, says the report. But they j can be controlled by science and aimed against any one type of cell by changing the wave length, ns ft is pointed out that different cells require different light rays. A change in the chemical compounds forming the ray bombs is sufficient to alter the radiation. Thus it would seem that science has but to find the correct wave length for the individual cells in

Striking Farmers Picket Many Roads Omaha. Nebr.. Aug. 30—(UP)—| Moving stubbornly ahead with their plans despite opposition of liw enforcement officers of two states, striking farmers today picketed every road leading to the Omaha market. Advancing under cover of darkness picket groups in the hours before dawn established their camps on Nebraska highways which until today had been held open to trucks Within a few hours the new offensive was reflected on the Omaha live stock market where only 300 sheep and 1.000 cattle were received by truck. o — Dual Mouth Fish Caught Port Jervis. N. Y —(U.R)—George Riffenburg caught a two-mouth sunfish the other day while fishing in the Neversink. And to prove his is no fish story, he has deposited the freak in a pail of water. The fish's mouths open and shut alternately —one mouth may grab for a morsel of food while the other remains inactive. o , Houdini Stunt Failed ( SALEM. Mass. (U.R) —The Hou- ( dini stunt of Raymond Burcko, 38, who bills himself as “Marvelo,” went askew here. He reclined in ( a metal casket. The cover was . sealed. Spectators built a fire around the casket, as per instructions. The crowd waited. Suddenly there was a faint rapping on the casket cover. The box was hastily opened. Marvelo lay in-

order to land on the target at will. The result of the new discovery will be that science will concentrate all its resources on finding the range of radiation destructive so the cancer cell, thus increasing the powers of X-ray and radium in the treatment of the scourge. The most interesting phase of the new weapon in the crusade against disease is the manner in which science has overcome the difficulty in applying the potent ultra-violet rays to the affected area. From lamps the rays do not penetrate more than skin deep, but when the rays are actually manufactured inside the hotly in any desired location there ] doesn't seem to be any limit to i the range of their activity. Another interesting point in the discovery is that the ultra violet flares set in action inside the body produce internal sunburn. While ■ the scientists are quietly optimistic that they are at last on the track of the long-sought cure for I concer, they caution against cas- | ual and inexperienced experimentation. warning that the new dis- : covery is dangerous if inexpertely handled and may do a deal of harm. There is still much investigation to be done as to the application of the new force in the treatment of disease. But if. and when, the treatment of cancer is reduced to such a simple matter as. say the elimination of a diseased appendix. a new day will have dawned ] in this world of ours. Statues have been raised to gen- : erals for winning the battles of their country and poems have been written about athletes who have won intrenational glory in the field of sports. How much more worthy of a monument or a poem are the devoted men of science who unselfshly spend their lives outside the limelight fighting silently, tirelessly, unceasingly for : the great family of the entire human race?

(U.R)—Hunters from 24 other states and from two foreign countries tramped Pennsylvania hills and valleys in search of game in the 1931 hunting season. There were 8.964 special licenses issued to non resident hunters during the season. Among the visiting sportsmen were an English novelist and two Italian vice-consuls, according to records of the license bureau. Electricity Aids Sweden STOCKHOLM (U.R) — Thanks to electrification and motorization of Swedish farms, the demand for manual labor has decreased about 20 Ber cent compared to the years before the war. reports Bertil Nystrom, of the Central Bureau of Statistics. Thus there are now about 7,000 tractors in Sweden, compared to 1,000 ten years ago. and about three-fourths of the best farm area s electrified. o Realtor Owns Ten Autos Manchester-byThe-Sea.

Davis’ entrance into the court 1 room interrupted the arraignment ■ of men charged with various. crimes. The court room was crowded with the motley colle--I tion of friends and relatives who] had come on these cases.

MRS. DAVIS Continues Her Education You know Mrs. Davis—the little bride. Two weeks before her marriage she graduated from college with high honors. But in one respect her education has been neglected. Yesterday, for instance, she picked up the telephone and called the grocer. “I would like,” she said politely, “to have some things sent up. A bag of flour — three packages of breakfast food—one can of baking-powder —six bottles of ginger ale—a pound of coffee—a package of—what’s that? Oh. Why, I’m sure I don’t know what brand. Just any kind, 1 guess!” No wonder the storekeeper interrupted her. He gets few orders like that nowadays. For wise housewives buy things by name. Not merely groceries, but kitchenware and piece-goods and household appliances; shoes and shirts and garden seeds; all the thousand and one things they need. Mrs. Davis will complete her education. She will learn to study the advertisements in the daily paper, and to keep herself informed as to qualities and prices. She will take her place alongside thousands of other women as the efficient purchasing agent of her home. Read the advertising columns of this paper regularly. They are your guide-posts to safe buying. Decatur Daily Democrat

Five children were born to the union, Jack, 9, Loyd, 8, .Ivan 7, Richard 6, and Mary 5. The deceased was a member of the Moose lodge, and the Concord Lutheran Church in Root Township.

Military funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock (OST) from the home, in Monmouth, and burial will be made in the Decatur cemetery. The body, which was badly burned, was brought to the Black Funeral parlors here Tuesday morning, and will be removed to the home Wednesday afternoon.
