At the session last evening, DR..
William j. Mayo, in the course OF an
address. said that chronic irritation is
by far the most important cause of
precancerous conditions in human be-
ings.
DIR. Mayo offered the suggestion
that cancer of the stomach, which. il
appears, afflcts civilized men more
than 1t affects savages, may be due to
the kind of food that civilization Of
fers or to the method of preparing
and cooking the food.
AS regards pre- cancerous condi-
tions In human beings, chronic irri-
tation is by far the most important
of observed conditions DIR. Mayo
said. THE natives of india are at
tackled by q peculiar form of cancer
OF the mouth, possibly because they
are addicted to chewing betal nuts.
Irritation Is caused by the juice of
the nut, Cancer OF the groin seems
largely confined to men whose work
entails much climbing. such men as
sailors and chimney sweeps.
Among civilized men cancer of the
stomach forms one-third of the cases
of the disease, while nothing like this
proportion is observable among I'M
civilized men or among the lower ami
mails. Is there, then, some funda-
mental fault in the food that civilized
men eat or in the cooking which gives
such preponderance to cases of pre-
cancerous conditions in the gastric
region2"

The Lotus Flower

Poets and novelists alike have given
mythical texture and color to the
lotus. The elder Dumas spoke of a
lotus flower pure white and with
petals as delicate as fine muslin" Nor
did the yancients treat the matter with
more truth. Herodotus spoke of the
lotus as of plant which habitually
descended below the surface of the
water at sunset TO return to view only
with the temperance of the sun.
The lotus known to modern man goes
below the surface of the water like
all nymphaeas, when its beauty and
its freshness have passed and when
the time has come to ripen its seed
pod. Then by the law of life 1t
closes its corolla and goes away from
the air and the sunshine down into
the water to prepare for the future of
its family. It goes at the time when
the sun sets, but it does not reap
pear. When 1t goes down as an in
dividual it is gone forever. The pet
ais described by Dumas as being las
white as the SHOWS of Himalaya" are
not pure white, nor can anything be
called with justice cause a lotus
flower may be red or blue as well as
white.-Harper's

Stop Liquor Traffic to
New Jersey in Launches

GEORGETOWN, Del, April TO-
The practise of bringing large guam
titles of whiskey and beer into ella
ware from New Jersey by naphtha
launches and schooners will be
broken up. Deputy Attorney Gem
eral Frank NJ. Jones and State De-
tectiVe Oscar NJ. Thomas, of George
town, announced this determination
yesterday.
They will deputize special patrols
of police along the beaches, if neces-
sary. Schooners coming from New
Jersey for cargoes of fruit and lum-
Der often arrive with shipments OF
whiskey and beer. A few weeks ago
q boat arrived at Lewes with $50
quarts of whiskey and many cases
of beer Customers arrived in auto
mobiles and with horses to purchase
the whiskey, which sold at $1.50 q
quart.
The only landing ports in Sussex
county are at Indian River, Lewes,
Milton and Drawbridge, and 1t will
be easy to watch these ports.

"Hunger Strikes Not New

Hunger striking began as long ago

THREE OF THE
APPEAL CASES
Defense in Arguments
Claims That Trio Now
Before Court Had Not
been Convincingly Con
nected With Conspiracy
Cases.


Chicago, May 16.-Charles W. Miller,
former United States district attorney
for Indiana. who prosecuted the dyna-
mite conspiracy case against a number
of labor leaders in 1912, appeared
gain for the government today in the
United States district circuit court of
appeals. when the rehearing on the
granting of new trials 10 Olaf a
Tveitmore. of San Francisco: Richard
II. Houlihan Of Chicago. and William
Bernhard. Cincinnati, came up for
oral argument.
Originally thirty Of the convicted
men filed appeals for new trials The
United States circuit court Of appeals
upheld the conviction of twenty four
and granted new trials for six As to
three of the latter-TveitnOe, BoUli
han and Bernhardt-the request for a
reheariug was granted.
Miller said the court properly had
held that the general conspiracy had
been established and that - Of the
defendants were directly conpected
with the conspiracy to transport dyna-
mite and nitro-glyCerine upon passen-
ger trains The evidence, he said, must
be largely CiTcunstantIaL but that
every link in the chain of circum-
dict Of the jury is sustained by sub
s-antiaI evidence on every material
point: that a clear prima facie case
was esta ablished against TVeitmoe,
Houlihan and Bernhard"
The government lawyer next took
the cases of the three defendants in
dividualIy, touching on the evidence
brought out in the trial of the case
and argued that the testimony was
such that the defendants were not
entitled to new trials.
Elijah Zoline. for the defense, re-
Piled that the three men had not been
convIncingly connected with the con-
spiracy at the trial and were entitled
70 a new hearing.
