CAXCEB BEilEDY SHOWN
Boston Discovery of a new com
pound that dissolves and apparently
cures cancer in animals in a few days
was announced at the thirteenth in
ternational physiological convention
at Harvard Medical school Wednes
day. It is injected hypodermically
into the cancer and its effect is quite
literally to cause the malignant cells
to breathe themselves to death.
Scientifically the process is named
oxibation. and it means that the ab
normal cells get more oxygen than
normally filters thru to them from
breathing thru the lungs.
The president of the congress. Dr.
W. H. Howell of Johns Hopkins
university in reply to a question,
said he considers the method impor
tant, but that no prediction can be
made as to whether the compound
ultimately will be useful to human
being, upon whom it has not yet
been tried.
The discovery is the work of a
young Russian, Doris Sokoloff, pro
fessor of experimental medicine of
the Russian university of Prague,
Czecho-Slovakia, at present working
as a guest with the institute of can
cer research of Columbia university.
TO PBOTECT FLYING PUBLIC
Washington New regulations to
protect the flying public against in
competent aviators will be put into
effect Sept. 1 by the department of
commerce. Clarence M. Young, the
new assistant secretary for aero
nautics, announced Thursday that
the new regulations will permit a
transport pilot to carry passengers
only in the tpye of plane in which he
has passed an examination.
"Existing regulations which were
promulgated in 1926." Secretary
Young said, "authorized pilots hold
ing the government's transport li
cense to operate any type or size of
aircraft. In consequence, it was pos
sible for an airman to obtain full
authorization to pilot any type of li
censed airplane by demonstrating his
competency in flying a single type,
for at that tice commercial aircraft
were much more similar in type.
Aircraft in general use at the pres
ent time differ widely from the types
operating a few years ago and there
fore require a greater degree of
specialization in the flying of parti
cular types."

Broken Bow. commander in chief of
the organization of veterans.
And the two contingents will fol
low different routes, though the ob

The rift between commanders, it
will be recalled, occurred when Smith

stalled national headquarters in his
home at Broken Bow, instead of in
Lincoln, as Smith suggested.-
Rivalry now for patronage on tne

train with delegates from California,
Colorado and Wyoming.
As large a delegation, Commander
Smith said, will go with him over

FBENCH FLIER IS SILENT
Le Bourget, France. Aug. 22.
Dieudonne Coste. after two days of
saying one thing and doing eitner
another or nothing, Thursday night
took a slightly different tack by say
inc: nothing and doing nothing.
The French aviator, who has had
aviation circles in a whirl of excite
ment by his intimations that he was
going to fly to Tokyo, to New York,
around the world, or simply to a new
world straight-away distance record.
gave them a rest Thursday night by
taking his airplane back to Villa-
coublay air field, from which he
could not start to do any of those
things because of its small size.
There were some indications that
the air ministry had brought pres
sure upon him to abandon any plan
he may have had to race the Graf
Zeppelin. In any case weather con
ditions appeared unfavorable for a
ong flight and it was generally in
terpreted here that th return to
Villacoublay meant indefinite post
ponement of -any flight.

num hook on the top wing of his
plane into the trapeze shaped yoke
attached to the stern of the Los
Angeles and the two ships rade along
together for a few minutes the plane
was then ' released and returned to
the ground. The test followed Wed

Seeks Action
to Aid Market
ing of Crops
Official of Farm Board Committee
Outlines Proposed Requests
To Meet on Monday.
St. Paul. Minn., Aug. 22. The
organization committee of sixteen of
the new Farmers National Grain
corporation, an operating agency of
the federal farm board, called to
meet Monday at Chicago, will be
asked to discuss steps to alleviate
the acute crop marketing situation
in the northwest. This was an
nounced here tonight by M. W. That
cher of St. Paul, assistant secretary
of the organization committee.
With a nine-day embargo on bar
ley, oats and rye, effective at mid
night tonight, on all northwest rail
roads, Mr. Thatcher said the organi
zation committee would be urged to
ask that existing machinery, such as
the marketing facilities of co-operative
terminal associations, be con
scripted to permit the federal farm
board to extend immediate relief to
the grain producer.
Will Urge Action
"Had the farmers' National
Grain corporation began functioning
under the federal farm board ninety
days ago," said Mr. Thatcher, "the
price of wheat would be 50 cents
higher today.
"We are going to urge at the Mon
day meeting that the farm board
take over terminal marketing asso
ciations and their facilities here and
in Duluth, within the next ten days. I
These associations have machinery
for marketing and for extending
credit on storage certificates. There
are others in Omaha and in Kansas
City.
In Business Soon
"The farm board should draft
these organizations, and then we
should be in business within ten
days, ready to offer relief to the
producer.
"With the direct contacts estab
lished through this conscripted ma
chinery, the farm board and the
Farmers' National Grain corporation,
as the agency of the farm board,
could begin lending money to the
farmers to pay their harvesting bills
at once.." WorldJ-Herald. ,
Defeat is Blow
to Richardson
Some Pupils Must Detour Many
Miles, While Others Forced
to Stay at Home
Falls City. Aug. 22. Following
the overwhelming defeat of the
$250,000 band issue estimated nec
essary to build and repair bridges
damaged by the spring floods, Rich
ardson county commissioners are
faced with the task of making nec
essary replacements and repairs with
onlv $11,300 forthcoming before
May, 1930. At that time only $10,
00 will be available and this must
suffice until August, when the 1930
levy will be obtainable.
These facts are outlined in a state
ment issued by the commissioners.
Although $67,600 will be in the
bridge coffers this month. $oC.300
of this amount has already been ex
pended in replacing three structures
on the Nemaha river.
With school opening next month.
County Supt. L. P. Grundy reports
that conditions are "appalling."
Many children will be forced to de
tour many miles to reach their
schools while others will be forced
to remain at home, he said.
"In one district," Grundy
said, "eight out of 31 children
will be transferred to another
district because it is almost
impossible for them to reach
their own school. In another
district the children of one
family must climb down and
out of a nearly perpendicular
lS-foot ditch or go an extra
five miles to reach their
school. Half of the children
in one district are practieally
barred from school."
The commissioners said there is
"nothing we can do. We would like
to build the bridges, but we have
no funds." Omaha Bee-News.
PACIFISTS WANT RIGHTS
ilutchinson, Kas. A defense of
pacifist principles and a demand that
conscientious objectors to war should
not be denied citizenship Thursday
was voiced before the Mennonite con
ference of North America, in session
here.
A suggestion that the Menno
nities should join other pacifist
churches of North America in a
campaign against future wars also
was made by H. P. Krehbiel, New
ton, Kas., editor of the Mennonite
Review.
Altho citizenship never has been
taken away from members of the
sect because of their views, courts
in many states have denied them
voters' privileges because of their
declared attitude against war.
Many Mennonites refused to enter
the United States army during the
World war.

Grain Elevators to Help Fight Smut.
One thousand specially made cir
culars have been printed by the col
lege of agriculture. They will h
sent to nearly all the Nebraska
grain elevators. The printers equip
ped this circular with an eye and
cord in one corner in order that it
may be hung up in a convenient
place for reference. "Smut Control
in Cereals" is the circular which
has just been printed.
Reduction of cereal smut losses is
a community problem, concerning
both the producer and the grain
buyer. Farmers having , smut-free
fields may have their crop infected
by a community threshing machine.
Where elevator prices are the same
for all wheat, the grower of smut
free wheat is penalized with the man
growing infected wheat. It is al
ways a wise precaution to treat all
seed for smut. Circular 132 gives
complete directions for treating seed
wheat. Coating with copper car
bonate or with formaldehyde is the
recommended practice. Smut-free
wheat is worth from two to 15 cents
per bushel fore than smutty wheat.
