YANKEE SAILORS
 EXPERT AT SEA
U. s. Merchant Marine Blessed With Officers and Men
 Quick to learn.
CREWS ARE NOT MUTINOUS
Accidents to Ships Growing Fewer Because of Increased Experience Make Good When Emereen-
 cies Arise at Sea.

otterdam.-Whatever may be the ultimate fate of the American mer- chant marine, the American Jack Tar has come back to his own. This IS the verdict of constant observers Tn the shipping department of the Uni ted States consulate general at Rotter- dam, one of the biggest ports for American ships in Europe, to which come monthly thousands of American merchantmen.
 These Yankee ships officers and sailors, for the most part products ot only two CT three years of training, have learned to handle their big freighters with all of the skill of the vindjammer crews of the old Yankee clipper days They do not, for the most part, know how to reef a top sail or do any of the hundreds of nau- tical things for which there were rich sounding terms in the days of the sail ing ships.
 There in an Emergency.
 But when it comes to pilotihg a V ,toking the fires of the coal burners or turning to with vim at any of the emergency tasks that may develop at sea, the American born, American trained ships officer or "A. B." Gable bodied seaman) in the language of the seamen's resorts on the Schiedamasche dyke here, wont take nuthin' from nobody"
 The big books of the consulate gen eral, in which are recorded the his- torres of the voyages of these Ameri- can ships and the complaints of the crews, bear out Jacks contention that he is as able a seaman as any who sails the seven seas.
 These records show," said one of the consular officials, that American ships officers are as efficient as Brit ish Dutch or Seandinayians trained long to the sea. They show that the young American sailor can learn his work quickly, that a boy whose nauti- cal experience three years ago was confined to pumping water for the COWS on the farm, or bathing in the old sWimmin hole, can adapt himself to his ship as well as a Norwegian lad who has been trawling for fish since he first wore trousers.
 Different Now
 For a short time, because of lack of proper charts and much experi- ence, accidents to American ships seemed much more frequent than to those of other nationalities. Now, this is changing.
 "American-born newly-trained cap. tains have no more trouble with their crews than the masters of ships flying other flags, or masters who have be- come naturalized Americans in order to get an American ship. In fact, in many cases they have less.
 Not long ago, an American cap- tain who was only 27 years old, brought his tramp freighter all around the world, making money on the voy- age, and his crew had not single complaint to record against him.

Snow Saves Mans Life.

Casper, Wyo.-A thick blanket of snow on the ground here saved the life of F. E. Waggoner, World war veteran, who has been decorated for bravery in France.
 An explosion resulted in Waggoner becoming a human torch" when his clothing was soaked with flaming gas oline. Rushing from the building where the explosion occurred, the for mer service man rolled in the snow until the flames were extinguished. He suffered severe burns, but prob ably will recover.

GIANT x-RAY ID
 TREAT CANCER
Important Discovery Is Made by Professor at Harvard Uni
 VerSity.
HAS ADVANTAGE OVER RADIUM
Experiments in University Laboratory Make 1t Possible to Produce x- Rays of More Penetrating
 Power Than Ever Before.

Cambridge, Mass. = Discoveries made by William Duane, professor of b.ophysics at Harvard, working in collaboration with research students of physics, have made it possible, ac- coyaing to Harvard physicists, to se- cure X-rays of more penetrating quail it} than have ever before been ob- ta.ned in this country and these new fays are now to be used for the first
 me in America for the alleviation of cancer.
 While it is emphatically stated by Professor Duane that neither A-rays GJI radium should be considered permanent cure for all kinds of can cer. it has long been known that ra- dium has a marked alleviative effect upon this disease
 The Harvard cancer commission is erecting a new building adjoining the Collis P Huntington hospital In Bos- ton, where an X-ray plant will be in- stalled, as we'll as the commissions radium plant.
 What Discovery Means.
 The significance of the discovery was explained in the following state ment at Harvard:
 ''The advantage of X-rays over ra- immensely expensive, costing at pres ent more than $100,000 a gram and can, therefore, only be used in small quantities. If X-rays were used it would be possible to make the rays enormously more powerful than has been possible with the limited amount of radium available.
 "The trouble with the use of K rays up to this time has been that they are not as penetrating as the so-called Gamma rays of radium and the problem c. the Harvard physicists has been to secure this needed quail ity
 Tt was known that to secure pene- tratiOn it was necessary to secure a high frequency of vibration. The Harvard physicists, after many ex periments, found that a physical law known as the 'quantum law applied to the X-ray spectrum, and discovered that they could increase the frequency of the rays and thus their penetra- tion, by increasing the voltage of cur rent used in the X-ray tube.
 Gets Enough Voltage.
 Professor Duane reports that the tube goes to pieces under a voltage of more than 10000 volts, but that sufficiently high voltage has been ob tained to make the X-rays very nearly as effective for certain medical pur- poses as the Gamma rays of radium.
 Long continued exposure to K rays is so dangerous to the operator that the greatest pains have to be taken to protect him from them. In the Jefferson physical laboratory at Harvard, where Professor Duane makes his experiments, the X-ray plant is kept in room by itself and the rays are sent out through a mi mute slit in the wall. The brick wall at this point is reinforced with lead and lead screen is placed across the door Many eXperimentors in various places have been killed or seriously injured by constant use of X-rays."

Some people wonder how II Is pos
sible for a motor car 10 enjoy a SIM
liar reputation In various parts Of the
country when It is IN the hands Of 80
many different types and grades Of
dealers.
Tho answer is that It isn't possible.
But much may be done ueverthe-
less to Btandardize many elements
that make for a happy relationship
between the dealer and the buyer.
The company building the car, as
well as the car Itself, Is judged
largely by the policy Of It's local rep
resentation. The courtesy. fairness
and disposition to serve on the part
Of the dealer either keeps car sold
or, so to speak. 'unsells" II.
In fact no matter how good a
piece Of mechanism a car may be, II
can easily come into disrepute
through the attitude toward the pub
lie OF the dealer who handles IL In
other words, satisfaction with a mo-
tor car largely depends upon who Is
on the ground to speak for II and its
maker
