SS-RAY FOR BRAIN
New Plan Enables Tumor
Diagnoses.

BIZ Science SerricC
BASEL, Switzerland, July 27.--A
method of investigating the brain
by means of X-ray photographs has
been perfected by DR.. Max Ludin,
director of the Roentgen Institute
of the Citizens Hospital here. Max
ing use of the contrast method gen.
orally used in X-ray diagnoses OF
other conditions, DR.. Ludlin has
been able to locate exactly tumors
in the brain, thus making removal
of the tumor by operation much
easier.
Air is pumped into the cavities of
the brain where it shows as white
patches in the X-ray pictures. If
one of the cavities contains a
tumor, the air cannot penetrate into
the cavity and so the white patch
does not snow

FLOOD CONTROL
PROGRAM WILL
REQUIRE YEARS
Valley Still Faces Danger
Despite Fact That Work
Is Under Way.
BY C. J. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Miss-
issippi River flood control work is
underway, but it will be several
years before the valley country will
be safe from floods, it was learned
at the War Department today.
This years work will complete
existing levees to the 1914 grade
and thus pave the way for con-
struction of new levees; will carry
out some revetment work, and see
the beginning of the Bonnet Care
spillway.
Whether a final, official plan for
flood control will be agreed upon
and approved by the President, will
depend on the special advisory
board directed by Congress to make
a report.
Consider Two Plans
This advisory board consists of
Major General Jadwin, chief of
Army engineers; Orig. Gen. Thomas
II. Jackson, newly appointed pres
ident of Mississippi River Commits
son, and Clarence Sturdevant,
civilian engineer of New York, ap-
pointed by President Coolidge and
confirmed by the Senate.
The board is considering two
plans, one by Jadwin and the other
by the Mississippi River commits
sion. It's duty is to adopt the best
features of each and work out
combination plan for submission to
President Coolidge.
The board has held hearings at
communities along the river and
received first-hand information re-
garding the problems at each danger
point.
First Hand Study Made
Through this information and
through engineering datea which
has been obtained, as we'll as first
hand study of the river itself, the
board is expected to work out its
plan and submit a report by the
time Congress convenes in Deem
Der.
War Department officials believe
that the original Jadwin plan will
be adopted with only slight changes.
They say there was little difference
between his plan and that of the
Mississippi River commission, except
IN cost and materials to be used
in construction of certain works.

CAMPBELL VOTE
CONTEST LOST
Ballot Suit Dismissed by
County Commissioners.

County Surveyor Henry Campbell
today lost his contest Of the nomi-
nation of Paul Roscoe Brown when
the county commissioners dismissed
his contest suit on the grounds that
they had lost jurisdiction.
Removal of the cloud on the
nomination of Brown removes the
last doubt as to the overwhelming
victory of the Coffin Hawkins fac
ton of Republican politics in the
primary election of May 8.
Campbell can appeal from the
board Of commissioners to Circuit
Court. He was out of the city when
the ruling today was made.
The commissioners held that
their jurisdiction was lost when
they failed to dispose of the con-
test within twenty-one days from
June as provided by law.
They passed today on motion
presented Tuesday by Frank
Symmes for Brown for dismissal.
The action was based on recon-
mendation of County Attorney Gin
ton Givan, none of the three COM
missioners being lawyers
The vote was unanimous, all three
voting for it: President G.. 0. Sutton,
Cassius L. Hogle and George Snider.
Another continuance until Aug.
80 had been granted Tuesday on
motion of Campbell to allow him
to gather additional evidence of al
legged irregularities in the election.

DEMOCRATS co
>ON WARPATH TO
Get FARM VOTE.
Smith, Studies Farm Issue,
Steadily Rising to First
Importance.
BY PERCY B. SCOTT,
United Press staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The drive
to bring the disgruntled farmer into
the Democratic fold and swell the
presidential vote for Gov. Alfred E
Smith is on in earnest today.
With George N. Peek, one of the
agrarian leaders speeding westward
to attempt to induce other leaders
to meet and confer with Smith, the
Governor himself is to give several
hours Of his time today to a further
study of farm relief.
Smith has been informed that
there are at least half a dozen ways
in which the agricultural assistance
can be held out to farmers without
using the equalization fee of the
McNary- Haugen bill, which Smith
emphatically has rejected.
Conferences Manned
1t is likely that he will not close
his mind on the subject for another
two weeks as he is confident that
Peek's "trip in the West will result
in further conferences with other
westerners week after next, just be-
fore his speech of acceptance. Out
of those talks may come additions
to or deletions from his present
plan.
From the attention that now is
being given to the topic, the opin-
Ion is growing that Smith may at
tempt to make farm relief one of
the biggest issues in his campaign,
and may make a much more ex-
tensive tour Of the middle western
and other agricultural States than
he originally had intended.
1t is pointed out that the Gov
ernor must make inroads into the
normally Republican States in the
West and Middle West if he hopes
10 win the election, and for this
reason the corn belt may become
one Of the chief battle GROUNDS for
votes.
Farm Issue Grows
There is no question in the minds
of those who have been close to
Smith since his nomination but
that the value of farm relief as a
campaign issue has been steadily
growing, and today it seems to have
become one of the paramount ideas
under discussion.
The Governor is about ready to
return to completion of his accept
ance speech. work on which was
abandoned :. week ago.
He will start his return to Al
bany Sunday, stopping off at Peeks-
kill, if it is fair day, to review
National Guard troops at the en-
campment there.
