National Association for Pre-
ventiOn of Disease.
Avoid Hot Food, Tight COrsets
and Brook Trout.

Washington. May 10.-Frederick l.
Hoffman, director of the National As
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, announced to-
day that a committee will meet in
New York next week to organize an
association for the study and preven-
ton of cancer.
Among those who are interested in
the movement besides Mr.. Hoffman
are James Speyer, DR.. Leroy Broun,
V. Everett Macy and George S.
Clark, all of New York. Mrs. Russell
Sage, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and
Mrs. James Speyer have promised
financial aid in starting the movement.
The methods of prevention will be
approached along similar lines to those
taken in the. tuberculosis work. Mr..
Hoffman said that the eating of too
hot food, smoking clay pipes the
wearing of too tight corsets by women
and the eating of brook trout are
some of the causes of the growths.
Fifty thousand persons will die of
cancer in the United States this year
and more than half a million through
out the world according to a report
made public today. The disease is
said to be increasing at the rate of
2 u per cent. per year.

WAITING A TEST CASE.
Civil Service TangIe From Kansas City,
Kan, to Supreme Court.

The Topeka civil service commission
is anxiously awaiting the decision of
the supreme court in the case of the
mayor of Kansas City, Kan, VS.. 15
discharged employees. The question is
the threadbare, "Can or cannot a civil
service appointee be discharged with
out cause?" The decision intimately
concerns the five discharged Topeka
policemen-W. w. Wilt, o. Haney, Ru-
fus Frazier, Dan Garden and Otto An
derson. They were peremptorily dis
charged by Mayor R. L. Cofran at the
beginning of his administration. Fra
zier, Garden and Anderson demanded
reinstatement from the civil service
board. Since no charges had been pre-
ferred by the mayor, the patrolmen
were reinstated. Wilt and Haney will
present their case to the board next
Saturday. 1t is understood that Wilcox
and Mason, two discharged sanitary
policemen, refuse to resign
The civil service tangle has been kept
out of print for a couple of weeks, but
has not been unwound. If the supreme
court decides in favor of the discharg-
ed employees, the dictates of Mayor
Cofran will be null and void.
Another question which the civil SER
vice board is considering is the case
of William Conklin, city plumbing in
spector Local plumbers have brought
charges of incompetency against him.
His hearing will take place next week,
probably on Saturday. The civil SER
vice board is authorized to constitute
itself court; it's decisions cannot be
appealed to the district judge or set
aside in any way.
In addition to the examination for
policewomen the board this morning
examined three applicants for patrol
man, two plumbing inspectors, and one
foreman of park

Unfortunately, the chairman of the

little person.
Taking advantage of MS position
to ignore rules and etiquette he in
sisted on going on to the bridge and
worrying the pilot with his silly ques-
lions.
"Of course you are acquainted with
all the dangerous spots in the chan
nel?" he inquired, with pompous
business.
The pilots glance never wavered
