The rotors on a ship like the Mauretania, he said, would take about the same space as a smokestack. .. X-Rays Drafted to Solye ay r acing Scientist Mystc Possible Effect Upon Cancer Seen as Background of Experi i ments Carried on to Find Relationship of Raidianl r Energy Upon Matter en- ITHACA, N. Y. Research in the field of X-rays, now under way at Cornell Universityj has led to the discovery of certain laws governing the action and effect of the rays which shed considerable light on a present problem of great scientific importance the interaction between radiant ergy-and matter. . . . - , ... Dr. F. K. Richtmyer, professor of physics at Cornell, has established that the absorption of X-rays in j matter is proportional to the cube or their wave length. His graduate students have demonstrated, ,to one part in ten thousand, that no change in absorption of the rays is produced when iron is magnetized; that there is a slight ehange at the tem perature of the absorber is raised, and that chemical com bination seems to change the absorption. : - n - The students also are working on the problem of scatter ing X-rays, which are spread in much the same manner as dust in a sun beam scatters light; the effect of-various fac tors, such as temperature, magnetic condition and chemical combination, on absorption, and the polarization of X-rays. Professor, Richtmyer-asserts the experiments thus far have led to no practical results, and that they were under- taken with no thought of their application in industry or elsewhere except as they have a direct bearing on scientific theomesv4t t'-' v'4:'t,fct-;.;'V:'':'-- .tf f 'The problems we are studying, however, 5 may have a practical effect upon the. lives of the future generations' he said. "For instance, if we knew absolutely; what the effect " of X-rays upon matter is, we might have somewhat more of a clue as. to whether X-rays could cure cancer. We cannot anticipate the commercial or other problems of the future, but we can determine and formulate the laws of nature with !rthe confident expectation that future generations, will, make ytse of these laws in solving theii ; problems."' . Roentgen quite accidentally discovered -&.-rays in iao when he was working on the discharge of electricity through evacuated tubes, Professor Richtmyer pointed out." "It is ; absolutely certain that if Roentgen had i been interested in finding some way to assist surgeons r in, setting bones, he would never have been studying: vacuum tubes and electric ity. Yet out of his accidental discovery came this .new tool of X-rays which, has revolutionized certain phases of medical practice. f i '" r: 'TTius the scientist never knows how closer he may be to ' some mighty discovery. The laboratory experiments of to day may suddenly divulge one of the great laws of Nature Fido Syke Help Doctor in Efforts Read This Story of How a Clever Dog Was Taught to Show Little Children That Physician's Orders Must x Be Carried Out Patiently By Rev. E. H. Shanks Dr. Brown was a very busy physician. Inj addition to his office practice which was large,he was still a practitioner of the old school and went about calling on his patients in their homes and in the hospitals. He had just one assistant, Miss Fido Skye, and she was very efficient and helpful. That may seem to be a queer name for a young lady. Itwould be. But Miss Fido was a small skye-dog. That may seem even more strange when she was called M.D. and was the doctor's assist ant. But this is the story. I" Fido! was a constant attendant on the doctor. Wherever he went she went along. In his office, she was always there when he was in. When he made calls she went along. She seemed to take much interest in his patients. I So many times she helped him that the people called her Miss Fido Skye, M. D. " i ... r .J-r-; 'VfM;j:tt This is the way she would help. One day a lady brought a small boy to the office who had an injured finger. The boy was afraid to haye the doctor touch it or even look at it. So Dr. Brown said, "Come here, Fido. Show this little boy how a good boy should have his finger dressed." So Fido jumped up on a chair and sat up very straight and held out one front paw. I Dr. Brown looked it all oyer. He took some instruments and seemed to be digging away at it. Fido jerked a little several times, but she held as still as she cciuld. Then the doctor wrapped it up nicely and fastened the bandages. "See that?" he said to the boy. How the little chap laughed and said, "all right, you can fix my finger, too.?. And he did, Fido looking on all the time and holding her paw out straight before her. ' S One day the doctor was called into the country to visit a little girl who was sick with the measles. She was pretty sick; and the doctor left some medicine and said he would call back the next day. When he came back the next day, the little girl's mother said : S . "Doctor Brown. I have had a bad time with my little girl. She will not take the medicine." I . . The little girl began to .cry, and so Dr. Brown called to Fido aild said: "Come, Fido, show this little girl how a nice girl jshwld-take JiexaiiedicinA J-J V t 'V ' '2 So Fidd jumped up into a chair oy the bed and sat up as nice as could be with her paws folded over lik4 crossed-hands. The doctor tied a little cloth made like an apron around her neck. Then he got a spoon and some waterfand put a few drops of medicine in it, though of course it was just a bit of make believe medicine for Fido and something that she liked. All ready, Fido?" and she opened her mouth vide. The doctor put the medicine in her mouthfand she took it with great relish and barked for more. The little girl laugh ed with all her might and said, "Oh, Doctor! give her some more.." J Then she said of course she could take the medicine as well as Fido, and she did and soon got wellj Another time Dr. Brown was called to attend a Doy wno had a broken leg. It was pretty badly broken and it tooK a good deal of care and patience to get it to heal ngnt and pe straight When it was far enough on the way to recovery tne doctor took off the bandages and told the boy that he should try to take a few steps and then in a few days walk a little around the house. i ."J.I. After a dav or two the boys mother called the doctor ano told him that her boy would not try to walk. She could not get him to try. He said it hurt him and he was afraid. So the doctor went out to see him and Fido wasgalong as usual. When he went in, sure enough, the boy would not try to waiK. Dr. Brown tried to coax him to try, but he cried and said it (Contmaed o pga a.) f. 2 . Kidnaped Child, Grown, Now, Would Give Wealth Julius Coleman Delinger of Denver, N.

Inset Charlie Ross as a boy at the time he was kidnapped. , , (By Central Press.) CHARLOTTE, N. C, May 16. Though the country at large is interestedly awaiting final developments which may establish the conclusive proof that Julius Coleman Dellinger of Denver, N. C., is the long lost Charlie Ross, Dellinger him self declares he has no interest in the matter other than to "give his ten children their birthright." Practically isolated frojm the outside world in a small inland village, Dellinger is constantly called from his occupa tion as building contractor to answer long distance telephone calls. Every mail brings a fresh sheaf of letters, to be read and answered. So turbulent has his existence become since it has become known that he may be successful in proving to the relatives of Charlie Ross, who was kidnapped from millionaire parents living in Germantown, Pa., in 1874, that it seems the tranquil existence formerly led by Dellinger and his family has been broken completely. Dellinger bases his claims principally upon the presence bt two birthmarks which are said to be identical with those which relatives say the kidnaped child bore, although in addi tion he has amassed evidence covering his entire life which he offers as proof that he is Charlie Ross. It is reported that three of the five relatives of Ross are already of the belief that Dellinger , is Ross, whose sudden (Vontinoea en paga o.) The Busy iRead er's Newspaper VOLUME I.
