X-Ray Used on Flies
to Help Human Race

Washington.-Flies which have long
been held in bad esteem as spreaders
of disease are about to do their bit in
helping the human race. They are
being used now for studies Of the
effect of X-rays on future generations.
In flies. the harmful effects of these
rays appear in the third and fourth
generation, DR.. Mary B. Stark of New
York city reported recently. She has
exposed flies to X-rays for varying
lengths of time.
While the individuals exposed con-
tinue to grow and breed, their de.
scendants die off. Doctor Stark be-
.iieves. this is because the. reproductive
cells Of the grandparent or great
grandparent flies were injured by the
rays. This injury is inherited and
finally causes death. In this same way
cancer may be produced in third and
fourth generations of flies.
Doctor Stark believes that the ex-
periments on flies will throw some
light on this problem in human beings.
Her theory is not accepted by all
scientists, however. Because the hu-
man race breeds slowly. it will be
some time before the inherited eff
fects of X-rays can be noticed in man.
