A sheet of steel a quarter of an inch thick stopped all the commonplace rays. The super-rays alone penetrated the steel. They fell upon eggs of the wild fruit fly, drosophila, placed to catch their full force. The same dose of super-rays was required to kill them as of ordinary X-Rays. "Obviously then." the report states, "the fly egrgs react to these very short waves in precisely the same way as they do to softer radiation." The giant rays then were tried upon mouse cancer.

Again the dose to kill the cancer was the same as that from small tubes. "How far this equality extends in the direction of shorter waves, e. the gamma rays of radium, and of very long waves produced by a few thousand volts, is still to be determined," says the report. The gamma rays of radium extend up to the equivalent of voltages of 10.000,000. although some of them are included in the X-Rays studied in this half million-volt test.

Of the greater penetrating- power of the super-rays, the report says: "Theoretically this should be of value to therapy; whether such rays will prove advantageous in practice can be determined only by careful study of the reaction of patients." out into her drawinsr 1 a 1 iu u-a an interview A -'r au auuuL me swell which she opened at ratersnri yesterday. ivi.oo jujlc, luurrioa lour titrifsa mn i ri A I XL 0 f) si 9tf i i It means that the enormous tubes now building- have the power to sink X-Rays far deeper into a living body than small tubes.

The international court of justice at The Hague will shortly be called upon to give a decision on what is probably one of the most extraordinary cases ever brought before a court of justice. The synod of the Monk Rupublic of Athos on the Chalkidice Peninsula in Greece, intends to appeal to The Hague court of justice to force Greece to fulfilPone of the terms of its treaty with the republic, which stipulates that the decisions of the synod must be carried out by the Greek The decision which the synod has made and which now is in dispute, calls for the immediate killing of all hens found in the territory of Athos. The reason given is that hens are females.

IV) Millions of dogs, cats and rats in Soviet Russia are adding their bit toward the five-year industrialization plan.

Most of the best furs are being exported in exchange for needed machinery and farming implements, and the small furbearing animals are going into coats and clothing to protect the native workers from the rigor of the cold winters. Small boys make much of their spending money through tracking down stray domestic animals. Dogs and cats bring from 25 cents to $1, while the lowly rat has a standard price of 26 cents. In addition every city has its professional catchers. Many factories are working overtime converting skins into wearing apparel.

The government recently passed a strict regulation for licensing all domestic pets.
