GOOD SONGS SCARCE.

Louise Dresser, who is prominently
featured with DeWolf Hopper in his
performance of "a Matinee Idol at
the Lyric theater in New York, in 4
recent interview, dwelt with heart
throbbing solemnity on the difficulty
she and other singers experienced in
getting suitable songs.
81 hear managers bewailing the
trouble they are put to in getting
good plays" she said. but their woes
are as nothing in comparison with
what the singer has to go through
in finding good song material.
Cd V. Arthur recently offered $500
for good song for me. All he want
ed was the stage rights: we were
entirely willing for the author to re-
tain publication rights; and, even
then. out of nearly 1000 songs sub
mitted, we found only one that was
of any use | am using it now, and
hone to continue its use all next sea-
son. We've christened it Take a
Look at Me Now and it's a pretty
good song; but one in 1000 is
pretty poor average.
THE majority of writers seem to
be under the impression that anyone
can write songs, Just as the great
ma jority of men are perfectly sure
that they can run newspaper. Both
impressions are, of course, absurd.
Nearly half the songs sent to us were
without music, the writers placidly
averring that anyone could write mu-
sic to fit such fine lyrics. | wish you
could have read some of those lyrics.
And about 40 per cent of the songs
consisted only of the melody | wish
you could have heard those melodies,
the musicians being perfectly certain
that such beautiful music would in
spire any old writer at all to turn
out fitting lyrics. My but the world
is filled with incompetent people"

HOPE FOR CURING. CANCER
New York Expert Reports on Expert
ments in incubation.
MANY ANIMALS vACCINATED
Each Repetition of Process Height
ems Power of ResIstance-Disease
Prevalent in Many Forms

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 14.-A strong hope
Of curing cancer, or at least of greatly
ameliorating the suffering of cancer pa
tients by means of inoculation, is held
out in the report of Harvey r. Gaylord.
director of the cancer laboratory of the
State Department of Health at Buffalo
This hope is based on extended expert
.mentation during the last year in the
incubation or vaccination of various ami
mails, mainly rats, with the cancer virus
1T appears" says the report, that where
the resistance of the animal is not suffi-
ciently awakened by the incubation of the
tumor, this resistance can be heightened
by repeated doses, and, in a considerable
proportion of cases, immunity can be raised
to point which will bring about cure. 1t
is needless to point out that this process
of repeated vaccination which has cured
in the proportion of Is to 40 in rats might
well be applied to those cases Of late
cancer in human beings In which surgery
has nothing to offer and the outlook is
hopeless.
"As we strongly urged the legislature in
previous reports, the time has come when
we should begin experimentation with hu-
man beings. To do so It is necessary that
a number of patients should be maintained
loT thls purpose unus SuAllciehl 10 mann
tain ten patients is the least amount which
can be of value If this work is to be
undertaken"
1T is a very remarkable coincidence" Z"
says the report that the area of the
United States which includes the greatest
collection of human cancer cases is al
most Identical with the area through which
the various members of the trout family
are distributed"
Statistics are given to show that cancer
continues to increase. The report shows
that in the United States it has increased
from nine per 100000 population in 1850 to
forty-three in 1900, an average of about
sixty-five in 1901 and an average of more
than seventy in 1906

visitors had retired after dancing until
almost daylight, While they slept a de-
fective gas pipe poured fumes into the
crowded quarters. The gas became so
dense that the sleepers were still unaroused
at o'clock in the afternoon. At that time

window, became hungry and voiced it's
protest against the prolonged inactivity
Of the household in a loud wall.
This aroused Henry Kolkey, the only one
in the house not completely overcome. In
dazed condition he managed to crawl
to a window and call into the street for
help. Outsiders soon battered open the
door. They found the members of the
Kolkey family and their visitors all un-
conscious, some of them apparently dead.
They were taken TO hospital, where II
was thought they would recover.
At one house a mother. son and two
daughters, unconscious In a gas-flled room,
