NEW SAFETY X-RAY LIKE
 POWERFUL SEARCHLlGHT

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 19.-A new K ray tube that banishes the danger to the operator invented by Drs. Hoist and Bouwers, two scientists here, is expected to have the greatest influ- ence on future medical progress.
 The invention consists of a tube which generates a powerful beam of X-rays, practically like a searchlight.
 No rays emerge from the tube ex-- cept in the beam of light, there thus being absolutely no danger to the operator. Derived of technicalities the invention is that a stream of neg ative electrons is caused by means of a tiny filament heated to incan- desence by an electric current, and that this draws rays from the posi- tive anode of the tube in finely fo- cused pencil.

tect one who had been in mischief
II am glad l did it, anyway" said
re TO himself when the feathers had
heen disposed Of eff they find Red
siy's home and don't know for sure he
is the Fox who stole the chickens,
they may leave his home alone. But If
they knew him to be the thief, they
would try to smoke him out or dig
him out or else smother him in his
hole. SO I'm glad they won't find any
feathers there"
Now, the farm where Reddy had
stolen the chickens was a long dis
tance from the Old Pasture. The
hunting party had started late. BY
the time the dogs, with Bowser the
Hound in the lead, had been sent to
hunt for the trail of the thief, much
of the scent had disappeared. Work
ing slowly and patiently, Bowser's
wonderful nose picked up bit of
scent here and a bit of scent there.
Each time he would lift his head and
bay. The other dogs would rush over
TO him, and as they caught the scent
they would bay. Then the younger
dogs would race ahead, following
that scent until they would lose it.
Patiently Bowser would work until
he could pick it UP again. So gradu-
ally they followed Reddy's tail from
the old stone wall, where he had
cropped the chicken and then picked
il up again, straight across the fields

with a terrible gun, had followed, for

Cooking For Two.
Different Ways With Lamb.

Although in the old days lamb was
considered a delicacy. it has not, per-
haps, maintained it's popularity as
generally and as definitely as has
beef. One writer says that the rea-
son for this may lie in the fact that
the housekeeper does not always
have at her command information
that will help her use lamb in a va
riety of ways. For example, in a
family of two both members may
enjoy roast lamb and yet feel that
1t would be an eXtrava gance. This
need not be the case if the young
housekeeper learns how to introduce
variety into her cooking.
A roast shoulder of lamb, for in
stance. may be baked uncovered in
a hot oven until it is scared. After
rubbing with salt and adding one
half cup of water, it adds to the
favor If two or three strips of bacon
are laid across the top. The pan is
then covered and the lamb baked in
a medium oven for one-half hour.
The brown sauce is made by allow
ing a teaspoonful of -four for each
cup OF water.

Another delicious leftover is =

Now, Bowser knew where Reddy's
home was in the Old Pasture. AS

Old Pasture he wasted no more time
trying to pick UP Reddy's trail. In
stead, he went straight to the home
of Reddy and Mrs. Reddy. His nose
told him that Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
had gone in and had not come out of
that doorway. He began to bark.
The other dogs joined him, and all
barked. Such a racket as they made!

and came hurrying up. They've
