NEW X-RAY METHOD
IS DISCOVERED
New York. Dec. 29. A new method
of producing the X-ray and control

strated, it was learned toda. in tho
presence of scientists and medical
authorities at a dinner here ou Sat

Idge, electrical Inventor of Schenect
ady. N.Y Mr. Coolidge has been
working In secret for three; yean and
has perfected two tubes, which he
exhibited. It was stated that It prob
iihly will be a year or more before
tho Invention is put into general use.
Tho new tube gives X-rayw, said to
be, of tho most remarkable pene
trating power and controlled to a de
gree nud reamed of when Roentgen
made bis discovery. It utilizes the
principle that certain motals. like
platinum, when heated In a vacuiinli
give off a stream of charged par
ticles With the aid of a powerful electric
current these particles or Ions, as
they are called by scientists are
driven ugalnst a Tungsten plate plac
ed within the vacuum tube. They
f-triko this and the X-ray la produced.
The penetration of the rays depends
i pon tho speed with which they are
driven against the Tungsten plate.
It was demonstrated, according to
those present fbat rays were gener

COW SCHOOLS SHE
B OPENED TO
THE GHSLDREiy
The schools of the county all open
ed I heir doors this morning and Sup
erintendent Pettersoa states that
i sarlj all the children were on hand
The reason for having only a week .
i holiday at Christmas, said Mr. Pet
teroon. was that this is a season of
year when children of working age
have nothing to do. or, In otber
words, a time when tho parent? have
nothing for them to do The schools
In the county were started two weeks
late la.st fall to allow the larger stud
ents to help with the gathering of tho
c rop.- and the' superintendent is eager
to make up that time in school work.
By having only s week's vacation
at ihis time, it is figured that the j
childreu have lost only one week of ;
time, even though they wore privil
eged to remain in the harvest field
iw weeks after the regular time for
opening school. Mr. Petterson Is also
of the opinion that a two weeks' holl- ;
day is more than Is necessary and
that as a matter of fact the students '
and the parents arc willing to cut it j
short

Superlntendenl stated this morning
that the board of education had refer
red the matter to him and that !

not suitable for school board pur
