What Science * Is Doing * NEW CANCER TREATMENT Tiny particles of atotiu have been found in certain instances to be more effective than X-rays in treating of cancer. The V. S. Na- tional Cancer Advisory Council an- nounces the particles â€" neutron rays â€" have been used successfully for the first time on cancerous growths in human beings. "These rays are capable under certain con- ditions of killing the fiercely active cancer cells." TELEVISION BY SPRING An offlctal of a television labora- tory, at Rochester, N.Y.. last week predicted early coverage of spot newt events by sight and sound for broadcasts to the American public in an address to the Institute of Radio Kngineers and Radio Manu- facturers Association. The statement came as the asso- ciation received a report saying the television receiving sets would be arailable to the general public next spring. OYSTER ATTACKS ANAEMIA A means to aid the prevention of ntnrltional anaemia has been found In the Apalachlcola oyster, avail- able in Miami area the year round able in Miami area the year round, scientists announce. The Florida oyster contains a higher content of iodine, has the four vitamins A, B, D and G. It con- tains iron and copper for the blood, phosphorus and calcium for the bones and teeth and iodine for the healthy thyroids. VITAMIN DETECTIVES Vitamins heretofore merely pol- icemen of health, may turn detec- tive â€" to discover indication of dis- ease even before it actually s^ts in. Dr. Casimlr Funk, of Paris, orig- inator of the modern vitamin con- cept and coiner of the word "vita- min," told a group of American scientists last leek that latest re- searches point to possibility that the normal body shows a distinct balance between certain hormones (gland products) and vitamins se- creted in bodily waste fluids. By establishing what the normal balance la. Funk said, medical men may be able to determine when the balance is upset, thereby discover- ing the possibility of diseases like diabetes and cancer in such early stages that they may be prevented.

Tour description of conditions among your cows indicates distinct- ly mineral deficiency in pasture, or feeds that the cows are receiving. You should obtain a couple of bags of mineral supplements such as bone meal or supplements with bone meal base, and feed approxi- mately one cupful to an animal at each feeding. With this treatment the cows should stop chewing on bones, and their hides should be- come smooth as the cows thrive more healthily. Canada's 1938 wheat crop shows an average protein content con- siderably higher than in 1937. For Bashful Boys Dean E.

Plowing Champion Settles Tractor Controversy Carl Schoger, six-time national plowing champion of the United States, proved by actual test that a tractor runs better on rubber than on steel. With Firestone Ground Grip Tires he has saved hundreds of dollars in fuel costs alone. Rubber Is B e 1 1 e r On Tractor Wheels Tests Prove Saving of Hundl- dreds of JDollars If Mach- ines Run On Firestone Ground-Grip Tires Instead of On Steel Steel or rubber? For n&arly seven years â€" ever since the first rubber shod tractor rolled across the fields of the late Harvey S. Firestone's farm, the relative merits of steel and rubber as tractor tire equip- ment have been subpects of divided opinion. Which is more practical? Which is faster? Which will do more work on a gallon fuel, a trac- tor on steel or a tractor on rubber? Under the observation of an en- gineer from a leading university and of forty keen-eyed farmers who gathered in a field of barley stub- ble a few weeks ago. Carl Schoger, six-time national plowing champion of the United States, answered the above questions, but with facts of actual performance. Tries It Out From the fields of his neighbours, plowman Schoger borrowed six. tractors, provided each with a set of steel wheels, a set of Firestone Ground Grip wheels, and an auxil- iary fuel container o£ certified cap- acity â€" accurate to the fraction of a dram. Thus prepared, and with the carburetor drained, Schoger opened the line from the certified fuel tank and started across the field on the steel wheels, pulling a gang plow set at a depth of 6" to ~W- Upon the attainment of full travel speed, a marker was dropped along the furrow and a split-second stop watch started measuring time to the hundredth part of a second. At the end of thirty-six seconds, a second marker was dropped. At the end of a hundred seconds, a third marker was dropped and the tractor continued around the field until the ITCH *•â- â€¢ inctiiii IS' '••••' last drop of fuel was consumed and the tractor sputtered and stopped dead in its tracks. With this data recorded, the tractor was returned to the starting point. The steel wheels were replaced with Fire- stone Ground Grip Tire equipment and the procedure was repeated. The figures tabulated from these tests furnished accurate compara- tive information; Isf, on the num- ber of yards covered in 36 seconds by each tractor; 2nd, the number of seconds required to cover the dis- tance between the first and third markers; 3rd, the number of min- utes and seconds required to empty the fuel tank at top plowing speeds. All of these figures were used as a basis for measuring the relative performances of rubber and steel In terms of time and fuel require- ments. The results were startling. In- creased fuel cost on steel ran as high as 42 per cent. Increased time requirements on steel were even greater. To plow a given area of ground with one particular tractor required 43 per cent, more time than was necessary to do the same job on Firestone Ground Grip Tires. Big Saving on Fuel On the basis of 20,000 mile^s of service, the projected figures in the fuel saving alone amounted to J552 on tractor A; |248 on tractor B: $472 on tractor C; $226 on tractor D; J248 on tractor E; $470 on trac- tor F. Added to these amazing fuel savings shown by Firestone Ground Grip Tires are the equally important savings in man power. In a hundred days of operation, five tractors equipped with Ground Grip Tires would do more work than six tractors plowing on steel wheels, thus providing one extra man and tractor for another job.

DRESSMAKER HAD TO QUIT SEWING Hands Swollen with Rheumatism Pity this poor dressmaker! Nine tenths of her work consists of sew- ing â€" and she was not able to sew. Rheumatism in the hands was her trouble, and she tried any number of remedies. But nothing helped much â€" until she came to Kruschen. "Three-and-a-half years ago," she writes. "I had a violent attack of rheumatic pains. My feet and hands wei-e swollen. The pain was terrible. I was really quite crip- pled and helpless. "I tried many remedies without success. Then I started on Krus- chen Salts, and after one month. I :ould stand up again. Then, I walk- ed with a cane. In three months, I was quite well again. As I am a dressmakt'r. you can imagine what it meant to me not to be able to work my sewing machine. What a treat to be able to walk, to work, and to be free from pain." â€" (Mrs.l E.S.

LYONS Chesterfield Manufacturers 478 Yonge St., Toronto BOYS TOWN SYNOPSIS: Boys' Town is a refuge for boys founded by Father I-laij.-.gan (Spencer Tiac.v ). He is summoned by Joe Marsh, no- torious gangster, who asks him to take his younger brother Whitcy (.Mickey Rooney) to Hoys' Town. White.v goes belligir- ently'snd quarrels with everyone but little six-year-old Pec-wee (Bobs Watson). Then Whitey gets an idea. Hell campaign for the mayoralty vt Poys Town, u "fat job" as he calls It. IV - "Play Fair and Square" "Boy, that nuuBoge wa» iwell.** Swollen with his own importance, Whitey swag- gers about the place. His campaign includes lurid posters that tell the boys they're "suckers" if they oon't vote for him. He goes to the barber shop one day and orders Mo to give him a trim and a massage. Mo has just been waiting for this golden opportu- nity. Instead of using soap, he completely smears Whitey's face with shoe-blacking. "Ui-yah fMow*. Do f get the chair?" But when Whitey answers roll-call he suddenly glimpses his face in a mirror. Racing back he catches Mo off guard and wallops him in the eye. This is a serious offense at Boys Town. Whitey is immediately called up before the Council at which Father Flan- agan sits in. Then, quite gravely, the boys pro- nounce sentence. Whitey is to go to the barns and milk one cow a day for the coming month. "you're Mure you earned it toitay?" Father Flanagan is really worrfeo about Whitey. He had hoped that by this time the young toughie would have softened up a bit. He decides to talk th« matter over with Pee-wce. After asking for "a tiny bits a candy," Pee-wee gives his opinion. There just aren't any bad boys. The other fellas don't understand Whitey. Tenderly, Father Flanagan senda the little fellow out to play. "Fair and square in the gym, Whiley.*' The days pass and Whitey's campaign gets louder and brassier all the time. Father Flanagan notices his run-ins with the other boys. He decides that Whitey is spoiling for a fight. Taking him aside one day he points out Freddie Fuller (Frankie Thomas) present Mayor o£ Boys Town, and Whitey's pet hate. If Whitey likes he can challenge him. Ba lure to rt€id lh» titxt thrilling tpitode.
