CHICAGO. (R-A gigantic K Ray machine, weighing more than four tons and costing $500,000, has been operated successfully in the research hospital of the Uni versity of Illinois here. Jsg
 The huge piece of mechanism, probably the largest of it's kind in the world, pours 250.o00 volts of rays through the human body. per- forming in from eight to. twelve minutes treatment Sfor cancer or sarconma which, formerly required from one to two hours.
 It has destroyed cancer in it's early stages and retarded old growths, onRcials of the hospital announce. as..,
 So powerful are the penetrating rays that fiow from the. apparatus that it has been AeeAssarys to cool the great x-Rayl tube, the largest ever assembled. by . constant how of water. y 4s M
 The problemYof deyisinE, way to keep the tube, cool. held back development, of the. machine for year. Engineers in the employ of the company developing the ap- paratus finally conceived the idea Of insulating the water from. the source of current. thus preventing it from acting as aaconductor and carrying 0n some of the current vibrating into the tube.
 The control apparatus of the machine looks like the power house of a light plant. To oper- ate the machine it was necessary to install apparatus.. occupyng 3 large rooms. A transformer room houses huge electrical generator which steps up ordinary electric light current to 25o.o00 volts. Measuring devices control the force of the ray. An operators booth. contains control board. and in treatment rom are the machine itself ands other devices.
 The X-Ray was developed to give treatment in shorter time to patients suffering from deep-seat- ed cases of cancer or sarcoma. To prevent over-exposare to the skin the rays are projected through several surface portals, allowing an extremely powerful ray to pene trate the body without harming the skin of the patient.

offset the tightening effect of gold ex-
ports on the domestic credit situation,
but, on the contrary 1t increased their
erect by the sale Of securities. This
policy of the Federal Reserve banks, at
time when the demand for credit was
increasing, was refected in rapid adj
vance in money rates. The SYSTEMS poll
Icy was not dictated by the desire to
prevent gold exports AS its gold in
excess of the amount required against
Federal Reserve notes and deposits was
between $1,400. 000, 900 and 81, SOC. 600 600
early in 1928. and as the system has
been consistently in favor of a redistri-
button of part OF its stock of gold, the
firm money policy of the system was due
to the fact that bank credit was rapidly
expanding In this country. and particu-
larly in the form of security loans, while
the current requirements of trade and
industry made relatively little demand
for additional bank credit.
THE reserve systems policy in regard
to the redistribution of gold was thus
subordinated during this period to the
exigencieS of the domestic situation,
which required the restraining infiu-
ence of higher money rates. The adj
vance in rates. which was most pro-
nounced in rates on security loans,
gradually spread to all kinds of bank
credit. and there was an increase in
the cost of credit to all classes of bor-
rowers. High money rates. in turn,
caused flow of funds to this country
from abroad. As a consequence. ex-
change rates declined and beginning
with last June there was some inflow
of gold. Central banks abroad felt the
pull upon their markets caused by our
high money rates, and were obliged to
dispose of some of their holdings of
dollar exchange, as we'll as to ship gold.
more recently, after year of rising
money rates, which has carried the
rates in the United States above those
prevailing in most other countries. Sew
eral foreign central banks have had to
advance their discount rates in order
to protect their gold reserves from
further losses. In the domestic situation,
high rates have caused flow of non
banking funds into the security market.
but have not had the effect of slowing
down business activity. except in the
building industry, which appears to
have been unfavo-ably affected by the
difficulty of floating bonds The un-
favorable condition of the bond market,
due to high money rates caused by the
rapid growth in the demand for credit
by the security market. has also greatly
reduced foreign borrowing in this coun-
try. and. consequently has made 1t
more difficult for foreign countries to
obtain the exchange necessary to pay
for American products.
Recent Credit Policy.
THE Federal Reserve system has
been aware of the consequences, pres
ent and prospective. of high money
rates to the country's business and has
pursued policy formulated with a
view to correcting the situation that
was causing these high rates. The

Swimming BUTTON
GIVEN TO 9B BOYS
Demonstrate Ability to Nego-
tate so Feet in Water
Without Aid.

Ninety-eiglnt delighted youngsters.
demonstrating their ability to swim SO

day were awarded Red Cross beginners
buttons, a day before the close Of the
"learn-to-swim" campaign being con-
Quoted this week at the boys depart
ment of the r. M. G. A., under the
auspices Of The Star.
The group OF nearly 100 Is the first
contingent of the 525 boys taking the
free swimming lessons offered at the
Y. M. G. A. TO accomplish the 50-foot
swim required to win the buttons.
Other groups In the Is daily classes
were taking the tests this afternoon,
and from progress made during the
week, James G. Ingram, director of the
boys department, was confident that
several hundred of the total In the
classes would win buttons
r. Gilbert Holm, associate director Of
the boys department, and James Car
berry, swimming coach. together with
the corps of special swimming instruc-
tions provided by Commodore Wilbur
T. Longfellow of the American Red
Cross, are giving the swimming tests
under the general supervision of Mr.
Ingram.
The boys are required to dive into
the pool, recover a swimming position
and then swim so feet 1t Is pointed
out that many Aquatic accidents oc-
cur, and sometimes drownings, because
non-swimmers, or poorly trained SWIM
mers, after falling into water over their
depths, are unable to gain a swimming
position, become frightened and thus
become unable to assist themselves
For this reason. the boys in the spe-
cial free swimming classes we're taught
to regain swimming position in water
after diving In, rather than to push of
for the 50-foot swim from the side of
the pool.
The intensive coiirse of swimming in
struction for rlon-swimmers between the
ages of 10 and Is will come to a close
tomorrow evening.

Federal Reserve Boards statement OF
February z, which was published In
the Federal Reserve bulletin for Febru-
airy, pointed out that owing To the
unusual absorption OF credit In the
security market money rates to business
were increasing at q time Of the year
when money conditions are usually
easy. Tn this statement the board en-
deavored to enlist the cooperation OF
the Federal Reserve banks and menu
Der banks, IN order to bring about an
orderly readjustment In the credit situ-
alton. Progress In this readjustnent in
recent weeks Is indicated by the decline
In brokers loans of member banks.
Continued developments In this direc-
ton, indicating a definite reversal of
recent trends, would release an increas-
ing amount of credit for the use OF
trade and would lead to an easing
IN the money situation In case the
desired readjustment Is not brought
about BY voluntary corporation, how
ever. the Federal Reserve system NAV
adopt other methods OF influencing the
situation.
THE systems desire to see money
rates at lower general level has been
due in part to its realization of the bad
effects OF continued high money rates
on domestic business. and in part to its
unwillingness to draw gold from aboard,
with consequent advances In money
rates In other countries, some OF which
are suffering from industrial depres-
sion. While the system recognizes that
one OF Its most important functions is
to protect this country's gold reserves,
In existing circumstances these reserves
need protection primarily against
wasteful absorption into the base Of an
unduly expanded domestic credit struc-
ture rather than against demands +-om
abroad. The objective of Federal Res we
policy, therefore. both fem the poir of
view of domestic business and OF world
trade conditions, is a readjustment in
the credit situation with a view to as
suri'.g trade and industry Of continue
Gus supply of bank credit at reasonable
rates"

17-YEAR LOCUST

Pest to Make First APP

Of 1912

AMES. Iowa. May a.-P-The
plague Of the 17-year locust Is on
its way. the entomology department
OF Iowa State college announces.
The insect. a pest in the history Of
midwestern agriculture Is due this
month for its first appearance since
1912.
Already students OF the school
have come upon the little holes from
which the locust, or cicadas. will
emerge. The department predicts II
will be only a short time until the
insects are Swarming.
The plague" viii not relay be
harmful, the experts say. The in
crease OF the natural enemies OF
the cicadas-domestic animals s.
squirrels, fowls and birds-and the
increase in cultivation of land all
mean that slight damage is to be
expected.
The life Of the locust above the
ground is only three or four weeks.
In that time they will deposit their
eggs in packets and twigs, then die.
The eggs will hatch and the young
locust will emerge after about seven
weeks. They will bury themselves
IN the ground. there to remain until
1916.
Little harm results from the CT
cadas during the years they are I'M
foreground. They subsist by sucking
sap from the roots Of trees. Or
