MAYO PREDICTS
| RAYS To KILL
Et BACTERIA

CHICAGO, Oct. IL 0N.SJ.
Science will soon perfect a death
ray capable of destroying with
1nfallible thoroughness the disease
bacteria which have beset man
through the ages, in the opinion
Of DR.. Charles H. Mayo.
In predicting this development
before a community health meet
ing arranged by the American
College of Surgeons in session
here, DR.. Mayo said it would be
. modification of the death ray
which has been hailed as an
instrument of future wars.
Bacteria to Aid Process
And the bacteria themselves
will be agents to their own
destruction because they carry
definite electrical charges that
will make the process possible.
Ten thousand persons attended
the meeting to hear DR.. Mayo
and other eminent physicians
and surgeons. give their advice
on hygiene and prevention of
disease, particularly cancer. DR.
Mayo said:
1--WE know that bacteria carry
negative electrical charges. We
also know they have wave
lengths according to their own
activity, for when we Edace
them under a microscope in
fluid, they are attracted to a
positive electrical pole, and we
can measure their speed.
BRAIN BACTERIA SPEEDIEST
"The highest speed is shown
by bacteria attacking the brain
and nervous system. After the
late war we read about the
death ray. which in future con-
flicts would destroy armies and
sink battleshipS. OF course we
haven't seen that yet.
But we will soon make
greater use of the knowledge
we have Of the electrical
activity of bacteria by learning
to destroy them with opposing
death-deaIing wave lengths of
radium, X-ray, or various forms
Of electric waves developed for
this purpose"
Bees and their method of
developing a queen bee from egg
cells exactly like those which
produce workers point the way
toward eventual control of growth
in man, according to DR.. Mayo.
Hormones Hold Key
He said:
"Most of this control can be
accomplished by aCcelerating
or depressing the glands and
nerves which actuate the hOr-
mones, physiological spark
plugs that circulate through
the body"
DR.. Franklin H. Martin, direc-
tor of the college, introduced
records showing that 24,448 cases
of cancer have been permanently
cured. Other hopeful statistics
and precautions to be observed
were listed by cancer experts.

 The declarer should first take three rounds of hearts to see if the heart suit will break. How ever, on the third heart lead East shows out. dropping a diamond. Declarer should discard a diamond and a spade from dummy.
 We now know that West holds one heart. Declarer should then cash his ace and king of dia- monds. West shows out of dia- monds. discarding spade.
 The next step Is to get a count on the spade suit. so the declarer should play a small spade and win with the king in dummy. When East's ten drops. this now marks him out of spades. as Vests opening lead of the queen showed the jack.
 The declarer. now knows that West hoids three spades, the jack of hearts. and two clubs. and all he has to do is to drop the clubs. Copyright 1888 NEA Service. Incl

 is given in the following hand, which came up in a recent dupli- cate game.
 The Bidding
 South, the dealer opened the bidding with one heart and West overcalIed with one spade. North bid two clubs. As East and West were not vulnerable, East bid two
 South made a jump bid of three
 hearts. Personally I believe the bet ter bid is four hearts, inviting the slam at once. West passed and North went to four clubs. South bid five no trump. deti- nitely showing stoppers in both spades and diamonds. North, hav- | ing the kings of both suits, knew
 that his partner must be marked with the aces; and since he him. self held the ace of clubs, he went | to seven no trump.
 The Play
 The opening lead by West was the queen of spades. and now the play of the entire hand depends
 upon whether or not the declar-
