NEW SUBSTANCE TO
KILL CANCER CELLS
Important Discovery Made by
Vienna Doctors.

Vlenna.-The antldote of cancer,
substance which dlssolyes and kills the
cancer cells or microbes, has been
found by Vienna scientists working
under the guidance Of DR.. Adolf Edel
mann. director Of the Vienna Cancer
Research institute, founded by the late
American millionaire, 8. Scanning ChIlds.
Dt. Edelmanh and his associates
have produced from human cancerous
tissues an organic sUhstance which dis
solves cancer cells Just like the "bac.
teriophage' dissoives the baclli Of its
own Hind.
"Baeteriophage" Or bacterlhm-eater.
discovered BY the French bacterIolo-
gist d'Herelle, Is special type of cell
produced only by organisms attacked
bya contagious disease. The bacterium
eaters can be found In the blood Of
diseased persons ind they are believed
to constitute sort Of counter-attack
of the organism on the disease germs.
The "hacteriophage,H however, can
also be produced artificlally In a "cul
ture" Of bacteria This fact became Of
tremendous Importance. as 1t enabled
psychologists to prepare serums
against various contagious dlseases.
Now DR.. Edelmaii and his colleagues,
of whom the most prominent 10 the
professor Of Vienna university, DR..
Fritz sIlber4tein, claim to have found
the "bacterlophage" Of cancer. They
named It "Autolysase or "seif-solveut'
because Il could hot yet be proved
whether or not d catfeet-bacterium
exists at all But whether raicet cells
are containing parasitic microbes, or
are Just diseased cells of the tItnian
organism, ,'Autolysat" dIssolvea them
and prevents the growth Of new can.

SEEK TREASURE IN
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
Get Line on Peruvian Gold
Buried in 1849.

Papeete. Tahitl.-DespIte the fact
that no authentic trace has yet been
found Of the fabulous treasure report
cd buried In the South Sea Islands,
plans have been completed for a search
for the kings ransom" which reputed-
" was taken from Peru In 1S49 and
subsequently hidden on the island Of
Penacrl, Tuamotus, and the neighbor-
ing island OF Hit.
The background OF the treasure hunt
pieced together from various infor-
mants in the South seas Is as follows:
Because OF the political unrest In
Peru In 1910 a number Of extremely
wealthy merchants and officials decid-
ed to convert, their holdings into gold
and remove the treasure to a place OF
safe-keeping, presumably Spain.
Crew Captures ship.
The gold. In lngots. was supposedly
placed on schooner by five trust

NOTICE

Under the present law the motor
boats used for pleasure are entitled
to refund from the state gasoline
taxes paid by them. Work boats are
not entitled under the present law
to similar refunds. This discrimin-
alton against the work bosts does
not seem to me fair particularly
when the owners of the boats have
nearly all suffered very consider
ably from the depression. There
fore it is my intention to recon-
med to the next General Assembly
Legislation giving the work boats
the same right to a refund for the
gasoline taxes paid by them such
refund amounting to four cents per
gallon.

TO GET LOANS FOR
WELLS AND FARMS
Water Needs Recognized by
Administration.

Washlngton.-In the flood OF In.
quiries received BY the Federal Hous-
ing administration from farmers and
others who live In rural communities,
these facts stand out clearly: Water
is one Of the most pressing farm prob
lens today In large areas Of the Unit
ed States.
How to get money to dig new wells
or deepen old ones leads all the ques.
tons asked of the FILA by farmers.
Another question being asked by
thousands Of inquirers is how to get
money to build dams for ponds and
small lakes.
The answer to both questions Is for
the farmer, or anyone else living 10
a rural community. to apply for the
necessary loan at the local bank or
other lending Institution. Modernlza-
ton loans for the purpose of deepen.
Ing old wells or digging new ones are
authorized by the FILA, as well as
ponds needed to conserve the water
supply.
SOUSNihltiON FGiHuhtGus
Other new construction permissible
for modernization loans and of special
value in rural districts includes fences
gates. garages, poultry houses, smoke
houses and any similar construction
always provided the proposed improve
ments meet with the approval Of the
bank or other lending institution to
which the application for the loan Is
made. Also. the amount applied for
must not exceed $1,000, although the
project may cost as much more as the
farmer is able to pay for without Dor
rowing.
Included also in the modernizatlon
program are ordinary improvements to
the farm dwelling, barn or other large
farm buildings. such as lightning and
Gre protection, Insulation, reconstruc-
ton Of faulty chlmneys, strengthening
Of foundations, additions of new rooms
and porches, installation of plumbing,
heating systems. wiring and similar
operations.
Accessories Needed.
rOr many farmers VINO nee0 Wells,
other things also are wanted. They
state In their Inquiries to the FLA
1that they need windmills. pumps,
tanks, clsterns, piping, troughs and
lother things in order to get the great
est use from the wells they hope to
Mig with their modernization loans.
All these improvements are eligible
under the regulations governing mod
ernization loans, according to FLA Of
flclals. When the regulations were
iifst published. II WAS the general I'M
preston that these loans were barred
for new construction Of any kind, as
the national housing act states that
the loans must be restricted to ire
pairs, alterations and improvements
upon real property"
Official Interpretation Of this part of
the act, however, includes these classes
Of new construction under the head of
/ improvements which they undoubt-
eddy are. Wells and small ponds were
specifically mentioned because Of the
volume Of Inquiries on this point and
because Of the great need for new
sources Of water supply by farmers in
large areas of the Middle West and
Southwest.

SCIENCE CHANGING
"GIRL-BOY" TO MAN
Dwarf Child Will Never Be
Physically Fit.

Kittanning, Pa.-There is long, up
hill struggle ahead Of Clara-now re-
named -Schreckengost, the
twenty-year-old dwarf whom surgeons
are changing into a normal man.
The new science Of the ductless
gland treatments is being used with
success, it was learned, and the ply
slclans are confident that the "glrl-
man" will win the fight.
A physician familiar with the case
said:
Clarence will never be completely
normal. We believe. however, that
gradually he will improve physically.
We have not changed his sex-such a
thing is impossible. All we have done
is to encourage the development Of the
patients real sex"
The child is only 81 inches tall and
unable to read or write. and has six
normal brothers and sisters.
Cases Not Rare.
Changes from one sex to another, as
in the case of Clara Schrec.sengost,
are far from being rare although sell
dom heard abou! outside of medical
circles.
Modern medical science has discov-
cred that the change from one sex
to another is the result of strange va
riations in the embryo or in imbalanee
in the ductless glands.
In such glands hormones are pro-
duced. They are responsible for the
secondary sex characteristics. the mas
culine voice and beard of men, for in

Chicago. Feb. 23.-(P)-Wheat prices
underwent dip late Friday, and early
gains were more than wiped out.
The late setback was induced more
or less by easiness which developed
In stocks. Forecasts Of further mois-
ture relief for wheat districts which
recently complained Of drought served
also as weight on the market, and
as did slowness Of demand for wheat
from Canada and from countries south
Of the equator.

rise Of "a cents.
Dearth of offerings rather than
urgency to purchase characterized the
wheat market q large part Of the
time Friday. Buyers Of wheat, how
ever, had to bid the market up when
purchase orders were to be filled. Not
much was wanted and dealings were
mostly among local professional
traders. The most definite strength
ening influence was word that the
United States government would buy
$4,000, 900 worth of wheat to be dis
tributed Immediately for relief pur-
poses to farmers in drought regions.
Another strengthening influence
was confirmation of frost damage to
wheat crops In France. Corn and
oats reflected wheat price upturns.
Provisions were higher.
