YOU ON WELCOME EVERY TRIP
ON THE VALLEY QUEEN

"A month ago, after an arduous
journey up the Missouri from Mem

steamer, VALLEY Queen" locked at
the foot Of Douglas Street with the
hopes Of giving the people Of Omaha
and vicinity something new IN tne
way Of entertainment.
In less than a week after n ar
rival of the boat. Omahans n visit
ors were sold on the idea that the
Missouri River is not merely the
dividing line between Iowa and NED
raska but something that can De
used for pleasure.
Crowds nearing the capacity num-
her of $50 have flocked o the excur-
sion boat every evening for a three
hour trip down the river and BACK
On Saturday evenings two trips one
at 9 d. m and another at ] .. M
have been necessary to accommodate
the overflow crowds. And for those
not caring for the evening dance
trips the VALLEY Queen" makes aft

urday and Sunday.
The novelty Of boating in Nebraska
is one explanation for the steamers
popularity, but more important than
that are the facts that it is always
cool on the river, that the music is
good and the crowds congenial.
Officers of the Omaha Navigation
Company, which operates the VALLEY
Queen" have expressed themselves as
well pleased with the reception which
their boat has received. According
to various conversations l have had

I'm 800, 000-VohX-Ray Tube, Which Strikes
at Malignant Grozvths Without Causing the
Deadly *:Radiation Sickness, us ReheQing
Patients Whose Cases We're Thought Hopeless:

The x-ray can do its part in helping to cure
cancer by virtue Of the fact that the cells which
make up malignant tumors or cancers are more
sensitive to the rays and are killed faster by
them than are the cells which make up other
structures and tissues of the body.

are not selecting only the patients who seem
to have a chance and rejecting those for whom
the outlook appears hopeless. Their object is
not to be able to report 10. or 30 or even 80
cures out Of 100 patients. What they are striv-
ing for is 100 patients treated, and possibly
helped, out of every 100.
Evening star., 1933-10-15

NNE Of the things that was hoped for from
~ the new, powerful machine was less injury
to the patients skin. These injuries result from
the fact that when massive amounts Of X-rays
are sent into the body in order to reach can
GERS growing on the internal organs, some of
the many rays stop before they reach their
destination and are absorbed by the skim.
This leads to irritation and when there is
constant irritation by even small amounts o.
the rays-ia this way the severe x-ray burns
result. This skin injury has been much less
with the S00000-volt X-ray tube, in spite of
the huge amount Of rays it sends forth.
'The purpose Of the high voltage X-ray"
explained DR.. Henry Schmitz, "is that with
this voltage ray similar in intensity and
hardness to that of the gamma rays Of radium
IS given off,"
This ray when filtered through thin layers
OF copper and aluminium to arrest the softe-
roentgen rays, penetrates the deep tissues anc
due to what Is known as the Compton effec-
the formation of electrons is much increased
in numbers and they also are more intensive
in action. The result Is an improved regres-
sion Of the cancer growth.
There is also practical, economic factor
debating the design and use Of these powerful
X-ray tubes.
Before the perfection of this tube. the only
way in which we could get this type Of radiation
was with a radium bomb, which consists of a
lead housing containing about eight grams of
radium," DR.. Schmtz pointed out in his discus
sion Of the new machine.
The cost Of such bomb or pack IS $3.50 900
at the present market price. 1t is also impos-
sible to obtain the quantities Of radium required
in the treatment of large internal cancers as
the present yearly output is barely IS grams
and about 1900 grams would be needed in the
United States to treat all cancers adequately.
"An 800,000-volt X-ray machine costs ap-
proximately $50,000 and the building and other
necessary accessories bring this to 100000.
Any number of transformers can be constructed.
can 8OO,000-volt X-ray machine in 10 min
uteS gives the same amount of radiation to the
deep tissues as an eight-gram pack of radium
gives of in one hour. Because of this economic
factor the X-ray is far more practicable from
an economis point of view and just as success
full in arresting cancer growth" DR.. Schmitz
has concluded.
THE tube with which massive doses Of X-rays
are being used in treatment at Mercy Hos
pital was built by DR.. w. D. Coolidge and his
associates in the research laboratories Of the
General Electric Co. 1t is the most powerful
ever put to practical use in the treatment Of
cancer.
The apparatus exceeds by 100000 volts the
working voltage of any other installation
known to be in regular operation. It's current
capacity is twice as great as any other high
voltage X-ray tube and machine in the world.
While it was built to operate continuously at
peak of 300 900 volts, it is said to be actually
a 1000, ,000-volt machine.
The curative rays are actually produced by
electrons hitting metal target called an anode.
Inside the huge tube is wire filament, some
thing like the flament of an ordinary electric
light bulb

0RDINARlL4 Wnen pdtlent Is uioer-
~ going treatment from high-votage 1l-ray
machine he suffers from radiation sickness, Dr.
Nelson explained. He has no appetite, cannot
eat or else cannot retain what he does eat.
, After a short period Of this, he begins to
weaken and has no more resistance with which
30 fight the cancer that is growing in his body.
The rays may kill some Of the cancer cells but
the patients strength is gone and he succumos.
Radiation sickness has been one of the draw
backs to treatment with big doses OF X-rays
and it was expected to appear following treat
ment with the new powerful X-ray machine at
Mercy Hospital which sends doses bigger than
ever before into the patients body. To the
surprise of the staff physicians, there was much
less radiation sickness following treatment with
the new machine than with some of the smaller
outfits that gave off much smaller doses OF the
rays.
The patients can stand big doses from the
new machine without getting sick, they have
good appetites and eat well. This is big
thing Dr. Nelson emphasized, and very en-
couragng sign to the physicians at the institute.
How well the enormous doses of X-ray are
doing their job of destroying cancer cells IS
shown bv the case of a man who came to the
institute with a tumor the size OF his fist
growing in his neck
He came in on Friday. BY the following
Wednesday he had had four treatments from
the giant machine these constituting one
fourth of the course Of treatments he would
Undergo Meanwhile the tumor had already
shrunk to a lump about the size of a small egg
The physicians at the institute find that with
the new machine they have been able to help
enormously cases which they considered hope
less So they no longer feel that case has
advanced too far to be given benefit of the
treatment. No matter how hopeless it may
seem, they cannot tell that it may not be
helped.
They are not trying for any record of cancer
relief at the Mercy Hospital Institute. They
