The bin which attracted most at

1t is asserted that proper compen-

road employees would save the employ
rs and their families several million
dollars annually which now go i'm legal
fees To attorneys for conducting dam

il results in juries and courts at times
giving verdicts for large sums does
not work out eautably for the reason

the projects launched i'm it's session
and carried out by the denominations
affiliated with the federation.
Five OF the leading denominations
of Michigan are subscribed to the
statement of federation principles,
which emphasize comfy in home mis-
sion fields. Reports of field men
showed that while authorized repre-
sentatives Of the various denomina-
tons had committed themselves To
the federation principles. their own
field men in several instances would
not exercise the federation to the
extent of being governed by the prac-
teal application of its principles in the
field.
How to make the federation "A more
efficient FORCE than mere advisory
body, and To broaden its work to in

An amendment to the bylaws was
passed making clergymen of the
churches affiliated with the federation

tees. Previously such eligibility was
reserved Ia members of the executive
committee. Non attendance of many
executive committee members render
ed the attendance largely that of rep

SCARCITY HANoicAPs TEST
Qualities Of Radium as Panacea IN.
known Until More Is Found

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Scarcity of ra.
dunn has prevented a thorough test
Of what its curative properties may

made to the clinical congress of sur
icons in session here today by the
cancer campaign committee.
The committee organized TO COM
bat cancer by spreading information
leading 10 early treatment of the dis.
reported on the educational campaign
Of the last year, carried on by the
american Society for the Control of
Cancer
"Only time will tell what percent
ago or cases can be cured with radi
um," the report states. In the mean
time, the public should be informed
through every possible source thai
carly surgical treatment offers the
hest chance for cure. The surgeons
who have reported The best results
from radium still urge early opera
tons whenever possible.
Few surgeons in this country nave
enough radium to give il q thorough
trial. 1t has appeared tina: extensive
doses have sometimes cured when
smaller amounts have little effect. II
is suggested that radum should be
standardized 10 eliminate variations
in its strength"
Spreading Information
Popular articles in magazines, pub
before women's clubs. in factories and
Lefty through newspapers. lectures
elsewhere have been effective
throughout the year in spreading i'm
formation on cancer. Present death
statistics on the scourge are of ques-
tionable value. it was said. Frederick
l.. Hoffman, of Newark. y. j., asserted
that discussion of whether cancer Is
on the increase At present was mere
" guesswork.
"Seventy-five thousand PERSONS in
the United States will die of cancer in
1919" said Mr.. Hoffman. The death
rate Is Sc per cent of the total NOR
tally for persons over A.. However,
statistics may reflect merely better
diagnosis and death registration, and
it is not worth while arguing if cam
GER is on the increase until we have
complete and accurate reports"
Importance of early diagnosis and
surgical treatment was urged by the
delegates in resolutions adopting the
report No other procedure offers
hope at present. it was declared.
