Disastrous Woods Fire During the terrific winds which blew Wednesday a fire was set on the turpentine lands of J. G. Rhodes and rapidly spread. The CCC camp fire fighters responded and soon a hundred men were making efforts to stop the fire. It jumped fire lines and roads and at one place the fire seemed to leap a distance of nearly 500 feet. It spread from the Rhodes lands to those of W. H. Varn, Lightsey and Durham. The fire covered a distance of two and a half miles in 15 minutes. The area burned could not be determined at the time of going to press, but it will cover several hundred acres, perhaps much more. The fire was gotten under control Wednesday afternoon late, and the burned area is being patrolled to prevent any further outbreak. It is thought that the fire was purposely set by some person.?Walterboro Press-Standard.

Adolf Kdelwanu, director of tho Vienna Cancer Research Institute, founded by the Into j American millionaire, S.Canning Chllds. j Dr. Ddelmann and his associates have produced from human cancerous tissues an organic substance which dlssolves cancer cells Just like the "bacteriophage" dissolves the bacilli of its own kind. "Bacteriophage" or bacterium eater, discovered by the French bacteriologist d'ilerelle, is a special .type of cell produced only by organisms attacked by a contagious disease. The bacterium eaters can bo found In the blood of diseased persons and they are believed to constitute a sort of counter attack of the organism on tho disease germs. '1 he "bacteriophage," however, can also |?e produced artilicially in a "culture of bacteria. This fact became of tremendous Importance, as It enabled bacteriologists to prepare serums against various contagious diseases. Now Dr. Fdelman and bis colleagues, of whom the most prominent Is the professor of Vienna university. Dr. I t'itz SUberstein, claim to have found the "bacteriophage" of cancer. They named It "Autojysat" or "self-solvent" because It could not yet be proved whether or not a cancer-bacterium exists ut all. But whether cancer cells are containing parasitic microbes, or are Just diseased cells of the human organism, "Autolysnt" dissolves them and prevents the growth of new cancer cells. Perfect X-Ray Is Hot Enough to Make Jewels London.?An X-ray machine ten times more powerful than any other in the world is nearlng completion at the Davy-Faraday laboratory of the Royal Institution, London. It will have a power of r>0 kllowats, or nearly 70 horsepower. This apparatus will he used for "high-speed X-ray analysis." It will show exactly how the innermost atnms of materials are arranged. ' tno of the mysteries wlijrh has been solved by "X-ray analysis" is that of the permanent wave. Beauty specialists found various methods to produce the waves, but even scientists did not know why they were "permanent." Now X rays have shown that when the waving specialists have finished with a girl's bend the arrangement of the billions of atoms In each hair has been completely changed. This new machine will be able to produce rays of bent so Intense that If trained on a block of steel several feet thick they will Instantly burn through It. Artificial diamonds 'could also be produced by training the beat rays on carbon; and rubles made from aluminum oxide.

This Is a certain cure for Insomnia," For the first time in more than two years there was not a single major crime reported to the New York police for the 24 hours ending at 8 a. m., Tuesday morning.
