GREAT X-RAY
MAKESPH0T0S
THROUGH WALLS
2OO,OOO-Volt Machine on
View in Cancer Week Ex-
hibit at New York.
By WILLIAM RANDORF.
CosnaopolItan News Service.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia super
x-ray machine, running on a 20O,'
000.volt current and producing sucl,
a powerful ray that 1t will pene-
trate an inch of iron, a half inch
of lead, foot of aluminium. two
feet Of brick or pass through two
concrete floors and which can pho
tograph the bones Of the hand q
block away, is on exhibition today
in the Crocker cancer research lab
oratories at Columbia University
in connection with national cancer
week.
The giant apparatus, which took
two years to build and occupies
two rooms. is surrounded by walls
Of lead, yet scientists watch expert
ments from behind thick glass
from a distance.
o The machine runs on a 100000
volt currept. producing a ray less
than a fifth of billionth of an
inch In length. The wave length
IL shortened as, the voltage is in
creased, and the shorter the wave
length, the deeper 1t will penetrate.
. Experiments have been made
with the super x-ray machine In
curing cancer in guinea pigs and
other animals. No effort can be
made at present to treat human
beings by means Of this powerful
machine, as the danger IL that the
RAYS will kill not only the diseased
cells but the patient as well. Ex-
periments on animals were made
by covering the latter wish a layer
of lead an inch thick.>
The prime object sought with the
new machine is to standardize can
Ger treatment, the apparatus being
able to measure the rays.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

a. long time about turning out the
incumbents. When it means popu-
larity to dismiss them then turn
them out.
"A shrewd politician once remark
ed in print: IT can manage my OPP
ponents; it's my friends that are the
botheration."
1t looks as if Mr.. Harding has a
set of "incurables" that he cannot
placate in his own party and a set
of ''irreconcilables" among the DEM
ocrats, like Senator Reed that Will
son could not placate.
Here we go, uppy.uppy,
Here we go down, down, down
What sweet pickle is this
When we go round, round, round"
Washington, D. C. Apr. 4, 1922.
Dear Country Home Readers:
I reached this big town on Satur-
day, April l.
The train was six hours late, and
on Sunday 1 felt sufficiently weary
to make it a day of rest.
But Monday found me up and 60
ing. I had been suffering with a
cough and sneezes, that were OBJ
Stinate and I decided I would try a
higher altitude and make a little
trip also, that / have been planning
for more than year, and failed to
Consummate. Since 1 have been in
the town I have shaken hands with
all the Georgia congressman and
senator's save Senator Harris and
Mr.. Overstreet, the member from
the First district. + heard Judge
Brand, of Athens district, advocate
an amendment to a senate bill in
the house of representatives on Mon.
day.
When I first knew Washington
city intimately, was in November,
1875, long time ago, counted by
years.
Yesterday I had pleasant chat
with Hon. Joe Cannon, with whom
have been acquainted since that
time. I am one year the elder, as
he was born in 1886 and I came
along in 1885.
He is still quite active, but un-
derstand he declined to run again
for congress. He has been in con.
gress for Illinois all the Intervening
years, and served as speaker in sew.
eral congresses. I saw in the senate
another old-timer, Hon. knute Mel.
son, of Minnesota.
A good part of Monday I was
riding with some lady friends. No
matter how often I come to Wash.
ington there are new and magnifi.
cent things to look at. Spring is
coming on apace-beautifu flowers
all about in parks. The labor strike
was the topic yesterday. 1 saw the
crowds around the doors of the
house committee room, and the
cameras waiting to catch the pic.
lures of the labor officials.
1 am going to be here only a few
days, and from time to time I'll
tell you more about my trip, the re.
mainder Of it.

As It Was in Jefferson's Time

AS 1t was IN JeI1erSOnS IIno.
When Thomas Jefferson won his
election to the presidency over the
elder Adams-the campaign had
been exceedingly bitter. He antag-
onized the Federals, represented
by John Adams and through his
campaign workers he inspired the
rank sof his party to believe that
the success of Democracy and Dem
ocratic government by the people,
could only occur in opposition to
the party of the rich and supported
by the masses of the common people.
Forms and ceremonies were to be
set aside, and there were to lie no
exclusive privileges to the infiuen-
tial classes.
The triumph was complete.
The masses of the common peo-
pie expected Jefferson to turn cut
the Federalist officials and proceed
to appoint their successors from the
common people. But it has been the
history of all political parties in the
United States, except when led by
General Andrew Jackson that over
lures were made to the opponents
very early. Jefferson's first address
after he was elected, reads in tae
following way:
but every difference of opinion
is not a difference in principle. We
are called by different names, as
brethren Of the same principles. we
are all Republicans--we are all
Federalists."
TN those days the Democrats
called themselves Republicans
These words soothed the bitterness
L. a
a disposition to give Jefferson a
chance to show himself better man
than they half believed him to be.
They indicated also, that he should
not remove Federalists from office
if he believed what he said concern
ing obedience to principles. On the
other hand, the supporters of JEFF
ferson made no bones of asserting
they had won the victory and the
offices belonged to them. The pres
ident was greatly perplexed to make
out a course by which to attract
the Federalists, SO as not to drive
off the Republicans.
The iternent grew apace and
President Jefferson wrote the fol
lowing letter to Monroe, afterwards
president himself: 81 have firmly
repressed the counsels of those who
have advised the giving of offerings
to reconcile them. I have given AND
will give only to Republicans under
existing circumstances. Some, how
ever, must be made, but they must
be as few as possible, done gradual
ly, and bottomed on some NAL
escration or inherent disqualified
ton. Where we shall draw the line
against retaining all and retaining
none is not yet settled and will not
be until we get our administration
together" It is evident that pol
tiles in Jefferson's time is pretty
much the same as politics in Will
sons and Harding's time, Wher
it means converts, they will consider

Fifteen Minutes Speech
On Wine Causes Thirst

PARIS, April S.-After speaking
Is minutes at the opening session of
Frances National Week for Wine,
Henri Cheron, minister of agricul-
ture, became thirsty. Reaching for
decanter filled with sparkling
liquid, the minister poured out a full
tumbler, raised it to his lips and
then, suddenly, after a single swal-
low set the glass aside on the table
with every sign of disappointment.
It was water.
Guests and correspondents, after
listening for hours to long dry
speeches inquired for the buffet.
There was none. But for a nearby
cafet visitors and correspondents
might have been attending pro-
