The newspapers took up the discussion
The council has decided by vote OF 20
to 80, that the three women physicians
who are employed by the council IN the
Public Health Department marry they
must resign.
The main argument against the married
women physicians was that no woman
could satisfactorily carry out her duties
to her home and family and public duties
at the same time on the other side II
was argued that many OF the best women
workers. such as teachers and nurses. are
married and that the motherly instinct

LONDON. April An interesting contri-
button to the discussion as to whether
cancer can be acquired by inhAbiting a
house previously occupied by q sufferer
from this disease was made by Sir
Thomas oliver, the noted medical expert,
In recent lecture at Newcastle. Sir
Thomas pointed out that this question
had claimed the attention Of medical men
for long time and that references to
cancer houses abound in medical litera-
ture. but nothing had been conclusiveiy
proved in favor Of either the believers or
the eccptics.
Sir Thomas said that the evidence In
favor OF the theory OF infectiousness was
too strong 10 be ignored. He gave in
stances OF several remarkable cases in a
village Of Norway which had q population
OF 500 persons. There had never been
more than one case Of cancer annually
until one year there were eight cases.
which seemingly centred around a single
sufferer from that disease.
Eleven Deaths In Block,
In French village Of 400 Inhabitants
there had been eleven deaths from cancer
IN seven years In the same block of
houses. while three years later there were
seventeen deaths In the same block.
Biz Thomas said that 1862 house,, in
Paris In which deaths from cancer oc.
arred are being watched. In twelve OF
these houses there have already been two
successive cases OF the disease. There
were he said. nineteen deaths in a short
street In an unnamed town between the
years 1893 and 1908. and In several of the
houses there had been more than one
case. The circumstances were such tina,

The lecturer cited several striking In.
stances where more than one death from
cancer occurred in single houses or even
In the same rooms.

There was a case Of a yicaroee In Tho
north OF England. where two successiy.
Wears died Of cancer. Another was in
oomersetshire, where a man died some
time ago Of this disease. Since then His
wife. her second husband and two other
occupants OF the house have died Of can

Numerous stories of German atrocities
are pouring into this country with every
boat load of refugees Mrs. f, Frederick
Oates. 1929 SAMSON street, president of
the Philadelphia Chapter of the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, arrived in Phil
adelpha yesterday from the war zone
and brought with her more stories of
outrages attributed to the Germans. Ac-
cording to her, German soldiers shot and
killed a helpless and unarmed old man
as he came out of a house in which he
had been trying to protect an American
woman and her sick child. Regarding
this incident Mrs. Oates said: Though |
was not an eyewitness to the act, have
the utmost confidence in the veracty of
my informants. The old gentleman was
"A Scotchman and was in a small town
in Belgium. The Germans heard that
some English had taken refuge in the
house and fired upon it. The American
ran into the street and shouted to the
soldiers. Surely you would not shoot a
helpless woman and children. At this
moment the old man appeared in the
doorway to protest. He was shot dead.
The woman whom he had been aiding
rushed to the soldiers saying, He has
been my saviour and is an old man. Do
not shoot him. But her words were
hardly out of her mouth when the man
fell to the ground.
1T is a matter of common report
abroad" she continued, that German
soldiers shot and killed a poor little tot
in Belgium who raised a toy gun towards
them as they entered the village where
he lived This act could hardly be iusti-
fed by saying that the citizens had taken
up arms against the invaders"
The reports of the hands of the wound
ed Allies being cut off by the Germans
are too numerous to relate. These
atrocities are said to have been confirmed
beyond reasonable doubt"
