Sectional rivalry has become in

Thus new feature is evolving in
this fascinating contest-g a m e.
Where at first boys and girls were
interested primarily from an in

concerned with upholding the
integrity of their respective neigh

Broad Ripple youngsters are in

SMALL x-RAY
MACHINE WILL
AID MEDICINE
Portable Device Invented
for Use in Treating
Cancer Patients.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps Howard Science Editor

The smallest X-ray machine ever
built in the United States was dem
onstrated this week at the meet
ing of the American Congress Of
Radiology in Chicago by John H
Clough, president Of the General
Electric X-ray Corporation.
The little machine is an interest
ing contrast to the X-ray machine
installed earlier this year in the
Mercy hospital of Chicago for the
treatment of cancer. That appa-
ratus is the largest X-ray machine
in the world.
Americas smallest X-ray machine
operates from an ordinary light
socket, and, according to Mr. Clough,
IS shock proof and may be operated
safely by laynlan. 1t was designed
by j. B. Wantz, one of the found
ers of the General Electric X-ray
Corporation.
The unit contains transformer
which steps up the ordinary no.
volt current to $4,000 volts. Its cur
rent consumption, however, Is only
ten milliamperes.
Valuable in Hospitals
It is expected that the new unit
will find use both in the medical
profession and in industry. Doctors
will f:ld it valuable where small
portable X-ray is desired. 1t will be
possible, for example, to carry 1t
into hospital rooms when it is not
considered desirable to move the pa
tent
Portable X-rays are finding many
uses in industry. One is the eX-
animation of castings for flaws. The
device can also be used by electri-
clans, plumbers and other artisans
who find it necessary to deal with
the wiring or plumbing of buildings
or houses. Instead of ripping out
piece of wall in order to explore
it the mechanic can make use OF
the X-ray machine.
Other uses suggested for it are in
government customs houses to eX-
anime clothing and baggage for
hidden objects. 1t has also been
suggested that the postoffice might
use a portable X-ray for the exami-
nation of suspicious packages.
Danger Is LeSsened
It is interesting to contrast this
small X-ray outfit, easily carried
about from one place to another
with the setup at Mercy hospital.
The big tube at Mercy hospital
operates at an electrical pressure OF
100000 volts and furnishes rays
which would be equivalent to those
which would be furnished by mass
of radium worth, at current prices
STE, 100000.
It is housed in a special wing OF
the hospital, the floor, walls and
ceiling of which are lined with forty
tons of lead. The patient, while
under treatment, is placed in a Spe-
cial lead-lined chamber.
While it is said that layman can
operate the little tube without dan
ger, it would be fatal for anyone tc
remain in the room while the big
tube is In operation. It's rays are
so penetrating that they would dc
terrific damage to an unprotected
person.
Modern X-ray tubes are some
times called Coolidge tubes. This is
in honor of their designer, DR.. w
D. Coolidge of the General Electric
Company.

MADRID, Oct. 4.-The Ma

announced it is preparing to
launch propaganda campaign
in the United States in an effort
to obtain portion of the United
States market, if prohibition is re-
pealed.
The Institutes announcement
pressages a keen battle for United
States business. The Spaniards,
it is understood, will be willing to
offer certain trade concessions in
order to gain a foothold in the
imported wine market. They also
feel that Frances war debt de-
fault will work against that ma
ton.

killed and his body was the first
to be taken from the wreckage.
On the north side Of the build
ing was parked an automobile in
which sat Richard Wade, a war
veteran, his 18-months-old infant
in his lap. A wall of the build
ing, falling outward, crushed the
car to the pavement, killing Wade
and the baby.
The Compton City Hall was de-
stroyed, its front facade crashed
to earth, and the interior was
shattered.
The cottages and apartments
of Compton's 5000 residents were
twisted on their foundations.
Many plaster walls caved in.
Martial Law In Force
Martial law clamped a tight
lid on the business center. The
fire department turned to rescue
and aid work since no fires broke
out.
Detachments of the California
National Guard, Marines from
San Pedro and Coast Artillery
troops from Fort Macarthur, took
command.

The tragic atmosphere was
heightened when word was
snapped along the lines of SOL
diers and sailors standing guard
that a tidal wave was forming
in the channel and would threaten
the beach communities.
"Take to the level ground"
This was the command barked
at those who had sought refuge
on the ocean sand.
Market Patrons Crushed
Out of the stricken area poured
o m bula ances and automobiles
which had been pressed into
service.
Emergency first aid stations
were set up in vacant buildings
in which white-garbed surgeons,
physicians and nurses toiled
throughout the misty night.
The Stockwell Building, in
Compton, was one of the centers
of the disaster. Several perished
in this structure as clerks and
customers were trapped in large
public market on the ground floor
when the walls crashed inward.
The Seaside Hospital was a
scene of confusion. The build
ing reeled under the series Of

earth shocks, sending patients
into a panic. Debris continued
to fall as ambulances rushed in
with scores of injured.
Spread of Fire Checked
Although flames broke out in
isolated districts after the first
shock, few water mains were
broken and the metropolitan fire
departments were able to check
the spread Of fire.
"Old Ironsides," which was
being towed from her berth at
San Pedro to the pier at Long
Beach, was damaged just as she
was about to be made fast to
the Long Beach docks when the
shock caused land crews to lose
control.
The famous old frigate crashed
into the pier, and her railing
on one side was stove in. Can
non were displaced and battered
The damage was not serious.
Dynamite was used to control
the fire which levelled the ex-
pensive new Huntington Park
High School. The water supply
was cut off, but use Of the ex-
plosive succeeded in keeping the
flames from spreading.

calls came for aid.
DR.. J. L. Pomeroy, county
health officer, rapidly mobili7ed
his forces. He called a meeting
today of all sanitary inspectors
of his department at the county
health center in Huntington
Park.
These inspectors were in
structed to take command in
every stricken community to
guard against disease, particu-
larly to watch for typhoid which
might come should drtnkin g
water be polluted.
The United States Navy, con-
centrated in the Los Angeles and
Long Beach harbors for mimic
war practice, was literally trans
formed into a guard and mercy
organization in a twinkling of
an eye. Navy food found its
way to the destitute in Long
Beach. But for future need, a
call went out for food for 10000
persons in that area.
Los Angeles hospitals, respond
ing to a request from Long Beach,
sent adequate supplies Of glucose,
a chemical used to prevent bleed
ing. Anti-tetanus serum for
patients whose wounds might be-
come infected was also supplied.
