THINKS CANCER CURE
WILL SOON BE FOUND
Experiments on Mice Give Hope fo1
Discovery Of an Absolute
Specific.

ALBANY. y. Y, April 1s.-As a result
OF experiments which are now being
made in the Cancer Laboratory. at Buff
falo. the medical experts Of that insti-
tuition are encouraged in the belief that
specific cure for cancer will soon be
discovered. IN his annual report 10 the
Safe commissioner of health. DR..
Harvey r. Gaylord. director OF the lab
ors'ory. says the experiments indicate
the existence of immune forces antag-
onistic TO cancer. and adds
However deep the skepticism may be
regarding the spontaneous cure of
human carcinoma, and this skepticism is
certainly widespread, there is absolutely
no doubt of the occurrence of spontsn-
eous cure in mice with cancer. no less
than 100 clearly defined cases having
been under our observation during the
year"
Up to January 1 the laboratory had
employed $500 mice for experimental
purposes. OF these $500 received inlec-
tons OF materials derived from the
Jensen tumor and $50 fatal tumors were
developed. Healthy mice have been
placed In the same cage with those
which were inoculated. and there is
reason 10 believe that some of the
healthy animals have become infectei
1t is shown that spontaneous recovery
diminishes with the increasing age az
dimensions OF the tumors, and there =
also evidence that the chance OF recov-
cry IS greater when the growth of tb~
tumor is slower
Spontaneous cure occurred in about g
per cent OF the inoculated animals. The
frequency Of the occurrence Dr. Cav

VIRTUES Of BALD HEADS
EXTOLLED BY ALIENIST
Asserts That There Are Few Hairless
Headed Criminals OF
Lunatics.

LONDON. April 16--Simultaneously
from two independent sources comes
striking testimony 10 the virtues OF the
hairless head Il is stated that, first.
there are no bald criminals. and. second
y. there are no bald iunatics-
Neither statement is laid down as
absolute or infalIible. but it is asserted
that there are only just sufficient ex-
cePtiOns to prove the rule.
The authority regarding the first state
ment Is J. T. Riley, a magistrate on
the Halifax bench, who said in court
that he had only met with two bald
charges in his twenty three years ex-
perience.
With regard to the second statement,

NIT a book of foreign cartoons, but
how woIld his imperial majesty
stand local caricature, was the
question. Previously men had been
jailed for even slight hints at lam
pooning. How about the new order
of things? The sauey "Simplicis-
sinus" of Munich undertook to try
the experiment. It's editor was al
ready fairly we'll acquainted with
jails. He tested the Kaiser's sin
certify with a monstrous grotesque,
skew-eyed, first-page cartoon, ac-
companied by the following reading
matter:
Today comes majesty's turn. IL may
be little late. but as true subjects we
are always glad 10 see him. But this
picture has a loftier flight since II is

Gated 10 a generous act A short time
ago a book was confiscated by the
courts because his majesty was pOr-
trayed therein and not as fiatteringly
as might have been the case, That is,
not as either a hero or god. Then,
however, the Kaiser spoke: The book
shall not be suppressed. A strawman
a bureaucrat. may see in this an act
OF heroism. We. however. merely find
IL fresh and free-the expression OF the
old truth that no one is so sublime that
humor cannot affect him.
At last accounts all of the staff
of "Simplicissimus" were living al
their own homes. Furthermore. they
say that this particular number OF
the paper is being sold as never
before in Germany. and that men
openly dare to chuckle at the sar-
donic humor of the cut and the text
Nothing has happened in Munich
and all is serene at Potsdam Six
months ago "Simplicissimus" would
have been put into metaphorical
mourning in short order. The ban
is surely off, and the Kaiser is more
a man therefor.
