NEW CANCER X-RAY TREATMENT CHEAPER Heavy Expense of Cure Greatly Reduced by Tube Invented by Dr. C. . Ulrey, . SEEK EXTENSION OF WORK ‘Experts Give Attention to Relief of Internal Cases. By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, Januvary 4.—The new X-ray tube for cancer treatment in- vented by Dr. C. T. Ulrey, research engineer for the Westinghouse Lamp Company, will be a boon to cancer victims not only in effectiveness, but also in cutting down the high ex- pense of treatment. * This was the conclusion reached by experts after the new tube had en used successfully at St. Luke's Hospital ~ during the past three months. New improvements being made on the apparatus are expected to result in great advances in the treatment of the disease. Simultaneous with the announce- ment yesterday of the development . of the new tube, it was announced from the research department of the Westinghouse company that another process was being perfected which Wwould extend the use of the X-ray to internal cancer, for which no elec- trical treatment has yet been de- vieed. Dr. Ulrey's tube radiates five or #ix {imes as many curative rays as the ordinary tubes. The Improve- ments have at the same time in- creased the life of the machine, re- sulting in a reduction in the cost of treatment. . At the same time Df. H. C. Rent- schler, director of the Westinghouse research department, announced that another process was being' perfected which would extend the use of X-rays to internal cancers for which no elec- trical treatment vet had been devised. Dr. Ulrey, he sald, apparently had found a 'means of increasing the emission of specific rays which cured certain forms of cancer without serlous injury to healthy flesh. WOMAN VOTERS PLEAD FOR HARDING COURT PLAN By the Associated Press. * NEW YORK, January 4 of President Coolidge for ing plan for United States entry into the world court was sought yester- day by the National League of Wom- an Voters, which protested against reorganization of the court, as pro- posed in Senator Lenrvot's resolu- tion. Woman voters are lobing faith in unfulfilled promises to foster better international relations and to work for the prevention of war, said a let- ter which was sent to the executive by the department of International co-operation to prevent war. It wae signed bv Miss Ruth; Morgan, Mrs. €arrle Chapman Catt, Mrs. Willard Stralght, Mrs. Whitney Shepardson and Mrs. Gordon Norrie. Exclusion of the smaller powers from the controlling group in the world court was the principal objec- tion to Senator Lenroot's proposal, the letter sald. Elimination of the optional clause for compulsory juris- diction, it added, also weakened the court. ’ Naty pile fabric with S calloping. Fur triv- med.

A GOLFER hit by a ball on a ol links is entitled to no re- dress at ‘law, according to a-re- cent deciaion of the ~Supreme Court. The attitude of the court is that no matter what a golfer, get hit with it serves him right, The decision is based on Knick- erbocker versus Longpants, 176 . Y. which held that the chief trouble with golfers is that not enough of them are hit. Conditions, in fact, have become 80 crowded on most golf links that the £god of the game makes to imperdtive that every player be entitled to a preliminary shot with shrapnel. (Flatheels versus Mug- gins, Michigan 645). * ok ok % 3 The latest decision was handed down in the case of a golfer who while standing-on a putting green was hit squarely in the right ear by a ball driven from the first tee. He sued for heavy damages. Golf- ers throughout country are now studying the decision. As they interpret it the plaintift is glven the right to go back gn the green and resume putting Where he left oft. “The defendant gets another shot at him within the meaning of the federal statutes (See Beanem versus.
