DOCTORS STILL
SEEKING CURE
FOR CANCER

PASADENA, Calf, Sept. 3. U.H
An unraveling of the mysteries OF
matter and a possible solution to
the difficulties that have baffled
physicians in their battle against
cancer, is hoped for by California
Institute of Technology scientists
who shortly will start operation OF
the worlds largest and most pow
erful X-ray tube.
The tube, approximately 30 feet
long and using 100000 volts OF
electricity, is sciences latest instru-
ment in the struggle against death.
Rays emitted by the tube are
twice as powerful as all the .radium
in the world would be if gathered
in one spot, DR.. C. c. Lauritsen,
its designer declared.
Smash Atoms
With rays generated in the tube,
technicians at the institute expect
to be able to demolish with ease
the elusive atom, now believed to be
composed of electrons, with the
oretical breaking point" W h
struck by about 100000 volts OF
electricity. Scientists in this way
hope to be able to determine the
constituents of matter.
Scientists do not know exactly
the makeup of atoms, their. theory
being that electrons form the
atoms, which in turn form mole
cules. The different ratios of pos
tive and negative electrons account
for the various forms of matter,
scientists believe.
Study ElectrOnS
Although the exploration of the
electrons is the primary purpose OF
the tube, cancer is to be the study
of a research committee composed
of Los Angeles physicians.
With proper safety precautions,
it is believed that the potent rays
will prove stronger and Of more
benefit than those now in use in
treatments. The new tube is 1,300,-
600 volts stronger than any existing
instrument for cancer treatment.
All work of constructing the gil
gantlc tube was done IN the shops
of the institute under the direction
of DR.. Lauritsen, assisted by stu
dents.
Glass cylinders, 20 inches high
and tapering from Is inches to II
inches in diameter, form the glass
exterior of the long tube. Inside
are the electrodes.

are increasing in alarming numbers.
Narcotic bootlegging on q gigantic

OF the manufacture of drugs is not
going to solve the question. How can
you limit the manufacture of drugs
when the production of raw material

Although most of the raw material
Is grown in countries of the Orient,
almost the entire blame of the mar

have stimulated the Oriental countries
in the production of raw materials.
Certain European nations not only
have made no effort toward limitation
of opium growing, but actually have
encouraged its production. In many

Coulter Sees Way Out
Beach Advance)

0S~NAA ~V0AS
Dr.. Coulter, former head of the state Agricultural col
lege. and now a member of the federal tariff commits
sion, was In the state last week and gave it as his opin-
ion that North Dakota is better off in many respects
than others and can more easily get into lines that
pay better than exclusive wheat raising. DR.. Coulter
is a great believer In the fact that farmers are losing
out by not finishing their cattle on the farm, but allow
ing this remunerative end of the livestock business to
60 to the stockers and feeders Of Iowa and other states
thus giving them the cream of the business.
He calls attention to the fact that the United States
is still on an importing basis as to livestock and that this
country imports an average of 100000 head Of cattle
each year. mostly from Canada and Mexico, a vast bust
ness which he believes the American farmer can handle
just as well as not II he but once gets started properly.
In addition to this. he says, this country is importing
100,000J0O0 pounds Of fresh, dried and cured meats an
nually, the most Of it beef stuff, which seems a crime
In the face OF the opportunities North Dakota presents
for a profitable prosecution Of this industry.
Many Of our Golden Valley county farmers have come
to realize the truth of the situation as presented by DR..
Coulter. (who. through his position on the tariff COM
mission. can talk authoritatively) and are, as fast as
their means will permit, charging their herds of pure
bred cattle. hogs and sheep, and see in the no distant
future q constant income rather than the sporadic and
uncertain gamble of exclusive wheat raising. They argue
that It Is better to switch when they can, rather than
wait until they can't.
