NEW FORCE FOUND
TO FIGHT DISEASE
Ultraviolet Light Produced
by Injection of Chemicals
Into Body.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, August ga new force"
for producing disease killing rays with
in the human body was announced in
a report to the American Chemical So
ciety here last night.
The rays are ultra violet light. They
are planted in the body like bombs, by
injecting certain chemicals into the
area to be rayed. The chemicals are
perfectly dark" by themselves, but
transform into ultraviolet flares when
X-rays are turned upon them.
These studies," says the report.
"have great hope in the treatment Of
obscure and deep bacterial infections,
as we'll as great possibilities in the future
study of cancer"
Organic Chemicals.
The report was made by DR.. Ellice
Mcdonald, director. and Dr. A. j. Allen.
physicist, of the cancer research
laboratories of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania. It was made public by the So
ciety on the eve of its annual Fall
meeting here. =,
The chemicals are all organlc-that
is, made from plants or animals. When
they light up" under X-rays their
ultra violet rays range from lengths OF
from 5000 down to 1000 angstrom units.
This means simply that the rays are
shorter and more powerful than any
ultraviolet reaching the earth from
the sun.
All of them are lethal to individual
body cells. said the report.
Killing power seems due to the fact
that body cells are virtually armored
against some of the wave lengths OF
the rays and unprotected against
others. So killing cell is largely
matter of selecting light rays. Over
this selection the scientists have some
control, because the chemical COM
pounds forming bombs give off diff
ferent lengths of ultraviolet.
Hope Against Cancer.
This research" the report stated,
"eiyes great hope of finding the range
of radiation destructive to the cancer
cell and of increasing the powers OF
X-rays and radium in the treatment OF
cancer.
THE most effective range of ultra
violet light was found to be from 1900
to $500 angstroms. Casual and in
experienced experimentation is danger
Gus, and may do harm. A new force
has been shown, which requires a great
deal of investigation as to its appllca-
ton in the treatment of disease.
1T is possible to produce such radia-
ton in remote cavities Of the body by
directing the penetrating beam OF
X-rays upon the injected solution OF
organic substances"
The outstanding new point of the dis
coveries is a method of placing these
powerful rays inside the body, possibly
exactly within the site of the disease.
From lamps they do not penetrate more
than skin deep.
Another striking circumstance is that
recently other scientists have found evil
dence that the body produces its own
ultra violet light. apparently all the
time, very faint type, but one SEEM
ingly associated rather intimately with
health.

"Ah, yes-exactly."
Elizabeth turned away,

In federal expenditures in the past 10
years to a large extent can be traced
directly to the governments business
and commercial ventures. Most of
these, he said, have been operated at

Hearing on the barge service oper-

from Rome c. Stephenson, South

the American Bankers association,
speaking in behalf of railroads, and
from c. G. Webber of st. Louis, presi-
dent of the upper Mississippi Barge
Line Company, and George c. Miller,
Mishawaka, Ind, manufacturer, who
said he operated barges on the Ohio
river 20 years ago.
Miller told the committee he would
produce evidence of secret contracts
with shippers which he said had been
made by the federal barge service.
