GOV. JELKS WELCOMES
 ALABAMA HOME COMERS

Interest in the effort of Dan Patch, the Pacing King of the world, to lower his record of 1:55 tomorrow afternoon at the Alabama State Fair, is growing and increasing to such an extent that the thousands of people in the grandstand yesterday after having their racing blood aroused by the splendid performances in the 2;07 pace sent up such yell for Dan Patch that the great horse had to be brought out of his stalls and exhibited before them.
 The applause of the cheering thousands was deafening and Dan Patch looked up at the people with that intelligent look for which he Is noted. as If to say, 'I will break that record Thursday most" After being paraded before the grand stand for a brief space of time, the fa- nous horse was returned to his stable. which was one of the chief points of n- terest all during the day for hundreds of enthusiastic people, who wanted to see its occupant. Dan Patchs stalls are Nos. Ss and S. stable A, which is the first row of stables looking east from the grandstand.
 As the time for the exhibition work Of Dan Patch approaches, and with a continuance of the beautiful weather un- der which the fair was launched on Mon day. the dozens of horsemen who are at the fair are becoming more enthusiastic over the possibility of the horse lowering his record The track is in splendid con dition and fast as lightning.

IMUCHLARGER CROWD SAW
 HORSE SHOW LAST NIGHT
TOMORROW DAN PATCH TO
 TRY FOLLOWER HIS RECORD

This is the fastest track l have seen in the south. It Is one of the best I know of anywhere, and with favorable weather Wednesday and Thursday, Dan Patch ought either to lower his record or equal it."
 Driver Hersey will not say that Dan Patch will lower his record. but he does say that if the present conditions con- tlnue. he will go one of the fastest miles of his life.
 Yesterday was a great day for the Patch family. Not only Dan, but two of his offspring were on exhibition Judy Patch. being one of the entries in the 2:lS pace and Ed Patcn was an entry in the POT pace.
 General Manager R. M. Williams of the State Fair association, has in his desk at the fair grounds, one of the four shoes worn at Minneapolis by Dan Patch a few weeks ago. when he lowered his record from 1 55A to :55 flat. The shoe was presented to Mir. Williams by Harry Hersey, Dan Patchs driver, who drives him in all his races and exhibitions The other three shoes are held by W. N. Savage, Dan Patch's owner. Mrs. Harry C. Hersey and MT. Harry c. Hersey, all of whom prize the shoes highly as me- mento of the fastest mile ever made in the history of harness races. Mir. Hersey presented the shoe to Mr. Williams as the manager of the Hermitage stud at Nashville. which owns Dan Patchs grand father, Patchen Wilkes. who was the sire of Joe Patehen, POI 1-4. who in turn was the sire of Dan Patch

cur, and in the great majority of per-
sons afflicted with the disease 1t proves
fatal within three to five years. The one
promising feature for treatment Is that
the ailment is at first always local. and
should thus be amenable to early and
thorough eradication.
But the logical treatment Of cancer can
only be fundamentally beneficial when
the cause Of the affection is positively
determined. While we are searching for
the suspected microbe we should also
study the individual who Is likely to har-
Dor and propagate 1t. There certainly
must be some predisposing causes of the
diseases that by being better understood
will help us more directly to estimate the
common factors of general causation. To
this end we must upset some old views
and traditions and seek for new ones

tions will requisite help. Improved sta
tistlcs are also needed. together with the
concerted action Of scientific investigators
throughout the world.
The very unequal geographic distribution
of cancer over the surface of the earth
points to local conditions, climatic. racial
and dietetic which favor or inhibit the
development of the disease. Like lepra,
carincma has its favorite geographic
haunts. For instance. cancer is unknown

that geologically the alluval soil appears
