 Dallas, Texas. September 10.--Hi gh winds and heavy rain which swept South Texas late yesterday and early today in one of the most severe storms in several years. causing property damage of thousands oi | dollars and injury to many persons, l had subsided latezs-today, according to reports received herrs1-srres--- Only one fatality, that or BraKe= man Wagner. who was killed near Noonan in the wreck of Southern Pacific train Number 227, has been reported as resulting directly from the storm excluding the persons Who were killed in the flood at Sa~ An tonic. The train, mixed passenger and freight. was derailed early to- day when 1t plunged into washout between San Antonio and Eagle Pass. The engineer and fireman oi the train were injured. None of the passengers was hurt.
 Heavy Loss Near Austin
 Near Austin, property damage es- timated at S150,000 was caused and eight persons were injured by tor nado and cloudburst late today. Ow- Ing to demoralzed telephone and telegraph service, it has been impos- sible to estimate the damage wrought in several towns within a radius oi l5 or 20 miles of Austin.
 Hardly had the force of the tor nado spent itself in the sparsely settled outlying district of Austin when heavy fall of rain began The torrent soon filled the streets flooding stores and buildings l During the 24 hours ending at I R. m today, 1923 inches of rain fell at Austin, the federal weather ob- server announced, the greatest pre- l cipitation for that length of tim, ever reported there.

 Crop Damage Great
 Reports from Cameron, south oi Waco. said the Little river there has broken it's banks. causing much havoc, the damage being confined principally to crops. The Santa Fe railroad trestle over Little river was washed away, the advices added Rain totaling 11.45 inches fell there. The town of San Marcos was un- der water this morning and without | light or power, although later reports said the water was receding. Sev- eral houses there were washed from their foundation, but with this ex- ception the damage was said to have been slight. The tracks of the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas and the In- ternational and Great Northern rail- roads were torn from the roadbeds for several hundred feet,

he was obliged to go to the hospital
once more. Later he went to Johns

special treatment.
Kramer's case has been continued
from week to week, but it is ex-

Planting Cancers In
animals To Try Cure

made by Director f. c. Wood, that
means for producing cancer in
large number OF white rats has been
discovered at the Crocker Cancer
Research Laboratory Of Columbia
University.
Radium OF X-ray b Iatment in
proper doses cures skin cancer and
checks internal cancers. The EN-
cheney OF either Of these rays de-
pends upon their intensity.
Recent discoveries made by DR..
Duane Of Harvard University. have
made It possible to secure X-rays OF
more penetrating quality than ever
before obtained in this country. by
increasing the voltage OF current
used in the X-ray tube.
DR.. Wood has in construction at
Columbia University the most pow
erful X-ray machine ever built,
which will carry over 10000 volts,
Obviously the advantage OF X
rays over radium is that the latter
is scarce and expensive. costing at
present over 100000 per gram.
The problem Of proper dosage OF
both radium and X-rays is a difficult
one which requires further investi-
cation and this powerful machine
will be used to determine the dosage
necessary to kill animal cancers.
As soon as the machine has beer
tested on animals. frther progress
in cancer research on man will b,

In order to discover the cause OF
cancer and to study its develop
ment in the human body, II is es-
sential that the disease be produced
experimentally in animals.
The advantages thus derived in
controlling the various factors in
volved, as we'll as the gain in hui
man life, have been established in
the conquest Of almost every bac-
terial disease from rabies down to
yellow fever.
In the past. cancer research had
been concerned chiefly with trans
planted tumors in mice, rats and
fowls.
These, while interesting. are not
the same as spontaneous tumors,
due 10 some malignant transforma-
ton in tho animals own cells.
Cancer, however. has been pro-
duced experimentally in animals by
Fischer, who obtained a response to
dyes, but the cancer stopped when
the effect OF the dye was exhausted
More recently two Japanese in

coal tar on the inner surface every

In other words. the nation has
awakened to the fact that it is turn
ing from a food-exporting to a food
ir D~r,ing nation. and that It must
prepare to deal with food-shortage
conditions which may occur within
thirty years.
To preclude any possibility OF a
food shortage for Americas poster

work will subject every acre OF land
in the country TO a most exhaustive

II is obvious, experts say, that a
food shortage is TO be feared. The
rapid increase in population during
the last decade and a corresponding
decrease in food production support
the contention. Therefore increased
production must be secured.
