BETA GUN
rs SOUGHT
FOR CANCER
nv HoWARD w. BLAKEsLEE
Ap Science Editor

: URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - A
new. sharpshooting gun for cancer
Is described by Dr. Lester ;.
Skaggs, of the Michael Reese Hos
bital, Chicago. now working at the
University of Illinois on develop
ments of betatrons.
This gun, DR.. Skraggs says, will
be a betatron Of $4,000 900 electron-
volts and 1t is expected to be the
most powerful weapon yet made for
lighting cancer.
Betatrons are electrical energy
machines which whirl the minutest
known particles of matter, cleo
irons. until they are travelling close
to the velocity of light, which is
10000 miles a second. At those
speeds the electrons can be drawn
from the betatron in the form of a
beam.
II is such a beam that DR.. Skaggs
wants for cancer, This beam, at
S5.000,O00 electron-volts, he. says,
will exceed anything ever before
used for cancer.
This beam. while having full ef-
feet on destroying the cancer aimed
at. will have no effect beyond that
point. This is unlike X-rays and
radium rays, which keep on going
past the cancer, damaging the tis-
cues beyond.
Industry has betatrons of the en-
ergy wanted for cancer but DR.
Skaggs says no hospital or research
center has one. He estimates tha
1t will cost $250,00O to build a can
Ger betatron and says this monNl
has not been raised.
DIR. Skaggs is working with Pro
fessor Donald w. Kerst, of the Uni
xersity of Illinois, inventor of tn
betatron in 1916. The university I
planning one of these instrument
10 deliver around 200.000,000 elec
tron-volt. beams for research.

FUMIGATE STORED POTATOES
no CONTROL TUBER WORM

Serious damage to late potatoes
by the potato tuber worm is being
reported in Delaware, according to
DR.. l.. A. Stearns, extension ento-
moIogist for the University of Del
aware.
Similar reports that the worm
has been unusually abundant in
Maryland and Virginia have been
received by DR.. Stearns. To answer
the frequent requests being re-
ceived for information on methods
to eliminate this pest in potatoes
now in storage, DR.. Stearns reveals
that few treatments have proven
practicable
Since the potato takes up odors
and favors readily and retains
them for indefinite periods, DR.
Stearns recommends fumigation of
the potatoes in storage with carbon
hisulfide.
Carbon bisultide does not injure
the potatoes. 1t can be applied for
long periods and since it is heavier
than air will, if liberated at the top
of a pile of stored potatoes go en-
tirely through the pile to the floor.
The fumigant should be used at
the rate of pounds to each 1000
cubic feet of space for a 48-hour
exposure with the temperature 65o
r. or above. The liquid should be
j placed on top of the sacks in shat
low tin pans. Care should be taken
/ not to expose the gas to fire, since
it is explosive when mixed with acid
and ignited. Two or three such
/ fumigations are often required dur
ing the winter for effective control
Tuber worms which survive the
winter in Gull dumps and in storage
houses and cellars are the sources
of early-season field infestation on
volunteer plants or the newly
planted crop.
Insecticides have not proved very
satisfactory against this pest. The
only way to control potato tubel
worm in the field is to destroy the
Gull potatoes of the spring crop ans
thus reduce infestation in the fal
crop.

NEW MACHINE
GIVES EARTH
THE JITTERS
AP Newsfeatures

PHILADELPHIA - Giving the
earth tine jitters" is the latest step
in converting sandy ground and
marshlands into land nrm enough
TO support heavy construction.
This is done by a mechanism
known as the 'vibrohotation ma
chine" which utilizes powerful vi
brAtions and jets of water. An uE-
balanced weight revolving in the
13-foot long shaft at 1900 revolu-
tions per minute produces the vio-
lent vibrations
The machine, which weighs q
500 pounds, is suspended from a
construction crane and bores into
the soft ground as it is lowered
During the boring, the vibrations
break up loose particles of earth
which are then packed by the jets
of water fed through the ma
chimes head near the vibrating
unit.

that an area of 100 square feet car

tion of the machine.
Demott explained that the ma
chine, originally built and tested ii
Europe, was constructed by tht

He said the machine can reclaim
loose, sandy soil or earth so that |
will support large buildings, air
port runways and water retaining
dams, and will be valuable in re
claiming sandy ground and marsh
land
