By J. BART CAMPBELL.

Washington, July 1s.---Senate lead CTS sought to clear the legislative desks today, in renewed effort for a summer recess after the Fordney tariff bill Is sent to the House finance committee, following it's passage on Thursday by the House. When the Senate reconvened, Senator Sterling, Republican. of South Dakota, planned to call up for final action the "anti- beer bfll." It's early passage Is pre- dicted, a poll of the Senate having disclosed that but le to 20 senators are prepared to vote against 1t.
 Senator Norris, Republican, of Ne- braska, hoped to have his bfll for the creation of a s10o. 100000 federal cor. poration to finance agricultural ex- ports supplant the Sterling bill, but ure are said te outnumber those who favor 1t, and the ''att-beer bilT' is ex- peeted to be given the right of way.
 The Senate banking and currency ether agricultural measures supported by the Senatorial Agricultural "bioc" to make the secretary of agriculture a member of the Federal Reserve limit that may be loaned by federal farm loan banks to farmers, from 1o million to s5 million dollars.
 The agricultural bloc numbering 22 from southern and western agricul- turai states. are insisting that the eo- called farmer relief legislation, in- ofuding the eapper-tincher, "anti- grain gambling bili' shall be acted upon before the Senate recesses or adjourna for the rest of the summer.
 Another rntasure on which imme- diate action is demanded is the Shoot Sweet bill for the creation of an in dependent federal veterans aid bu- reau and the reorganization of the government agencies for the assist ance of ex-serviee men. The Senate finance committee is expected to re port this bin today or tomorrow It will resume consideration of the ad- ministration bill for funding the S11,- 900, 900, 900 foreign indebtedness to the United States
 Administration leaders are i1etent upon passing speedily this bill, which would give the administration blanket authority in dealing with foreign loans but 1t may provoke a protracted debate which will seriously interfere with their recess plans.
 Senator Borah, Republican. or Idaho, Is seeking prompt action in his bin to give American coastwfse vessels free use of the Panama Canal which is also likely to prove vehicle for extended debate if 1t Is taken up:
 The maternity bill is on the senate calendar on which a vote IS to pc ia ken soon an unanimous consent agreement having been reached TOT final action on it, on the tenth leg1S,, latiye day after June 30, which Will nrobably come this week.

Powerful X-Ray Can Cure Cancer
 Is Claim Of German Professor

we can place the number of cures in the future at double the number of those in the past.
 ''The difficulty in the past has been that the X-rays have not been able to get down to the centre of the can cer without destroying the healthy structures between it and the skin. This has been overcome at last, and so successful have the results been in the women's clinic at Erlangen that all operations for the removal of cancer have been abandoned"
 A demonstration of the use of this new X-ray machine-the only one in London-which has been installed at a great expense in the West London hospital-has been given to a body of doctors, and they are watching with great interest the results of the tests.
