ATLANTIC CITY. January 81 1914
Mild. calm. delightful weather has been
the rule down here by the sea during
these late January days. and the wooden

and women from the inland down for

oceans gray waves are pounding the
beach, calling again ulon the summer
hosts to return. And evidences are not
wanting that the call of the waves will
soon be answered
Already the great beach-front hotels
are making spring and late winter reser-
vations. the Boardwalk deck is being re-
laid in places that have been worn by the
tramping of thousands of feet: renova-
tons are being made within and without
to the great hotels and inns. and the
municipality itself is completing great
improvements against the coming Of sum-

not properly paid. Accordingly, he sent
in his resignation. Instead of an increase
of stipend. there came a terse order from
Washington eliminating the post Office,
with the information that hereafter the
residents of Brigantine would receive
their mail by calling at the Atlantic
City post office.
This drastic action caused Postmaster

THE DEADLINEss OF CANCER.
Figures Which Impress One With
Prevalence of Disease.

From the American Review of Reviews.
4 few years ago German gynecolo-
gist. Duhrssen. made the statement that
more women die of cancer in Germany
In one year than there were men killed
in the Franco-Prussian war This will
perhaps give an idea of its prevalence
More recently Copman made the state
ment that "of the people living through
out the civilized world-Europe and North
America-who are over thirty-ive years
of age. one woman in eight and one man
in twelve will eventually die of cancer
In a general way this means that two
individuals out of twenty who are over
thirty-five years of age will die of can
Ger. Two ont of twenty equal one out
of ten. and that means defamation
That is to say that cancer not only will
decimate those now of an age above
thirty-five, but individuals who hereafter
reach that age.
There is every reason for enlisting the
heartiest public support in the now pop
ular warfare against the white plague.
The campaign is really life-saving, and
well deserves the prominent place which
it has before the public. 1t is furthest

from the writer's intent to minimize or
in any way detract from its tremendous
import and Importance. In fact. all that
has gone before has the better pre-
pared the public for education and warn
ing regarding the next most fatal of our
maladies. one as yet far more subtle and
mysterious. namely. cancer Like tu-
berculosis, cancer is also destroyer OF
mankind which spares none, but attacks
the rich and the provident as well as the
poor and improvident. the educated and
refined as well as the ignorant and stu
pid. the careful as we'll as the careless
in fact. if anything. it seems rather more
much may be done by the so-called upper
classes to ward off or prevent tubercu-
losis. no means are yet known by which
cancer can be foreseen or averted. Even
with a family history which may be a
source of constant alarm. one can dc
nothing to guard against disaster from
this source.

dirt track king; Harry Grant. twice
winner of the Vanderbilt cup race, and
many others. DePalma has twice won
the Vanderbilt race. The success of
the drivers racing cars, and the sue
cess of the motorcycle users, and also
of motor boat users, as shown by re-
ports to us. has been SO considerable
as to create great interest. The Mas

attracted the attention of the touring

THE late success of the Master as

one of them on the row every now and
then-a nice. little thing of about 167
pounds, who has an idea he'd like to
be jockey. Yes, we treat him kindly
put him in a rugger suit and blankets
and work him on the road and if he
gets down to top weight we give him
try"
You can't learn this stuff, you have
to be born to it, savvy? I've been in
it fourteen years qualified when | was
thirteen. There's nothing to it-all you
have to have is good judgment. be a
good judge of pace. have good hands
and have good seat on the horse
DO they keep a strict censorship
over you fellows ,"
Say, what do you think this is,
training quarters of a big Ieague-or
is it just because you are short on per
sonal liberty in Arizona? Bunk, just
bunk. Here's the program of the day:
We're off-gallop horses until noon,
