TRACES ORIGIN OF CANCER
discovery by European Scientist
Marks important Step In Treat
ment Of Dread Disease.

The results of experiments to find
the origin of cancer have been pub
lshed by Prof. Johannes Fibigcr, di-
rector of the Pathological institute at
Copenhagen.
His researches show that cancerous;
growths in the esophagus and stom-
achs of rodents were due to the pres-
ence in the alimentary canal of mi
mute worms, an indeterminate num-
ber of which are from, the common
cockroach. Professor Fibiger sue
ceeded in producing cancer by feed
ing eggs of cockroaches to rats.
The experiments are considered Of
great Importance to seekers for a
cure of cancer, as they form the first
experimental production Of the dis

WILLIAM WILSON FINLEY was born Pass
Christian, Mississippi. September ?. 1883, and en-
tered railway service in New Orleans in 1873 During
the succeeding twenty-five he had varied expe-
riencc earning steady promotion and growing repu-
taton in the traffic departments of several railroads
and in charge Of traffic associations, in the west and
southwest. In 1895. after the organization OF
Southern Railway Company, he began. as Third Vice
President in charge of traffic his service for this Com
pany in which, with interval of few months in
1885, he continued until ls death eighteen later
He became President of this Company in December,
1906, at moment when the work of gathering in and
welding together its lines into consolidated system
had been done. The map had been made There are
miles of railroad included in the system today

and the history of the development of the property

his achievement the balance of income available

conserved that loyal identification with the inter
est of the South and of the Company, and that
of personal responsibility in all ranks of the service
which is of the most valuable assets the Company
has today.
On the public side of his responsibility Mr. Finley
developed largely during the past years. Con-
vnced Of the duty of accepting the changed conditions
in respect of the administration of industry incident
to the governmental policy of regulation OF the rail-
ways by public authority he nevertheless keenly i'm
pressed with the apparent lack of understanding on
the part of the public of the problems of railway

audiences in all parts of the country but chiefly in

DECLARES WOMEN TO BLAME
Writer Asserts SeIfishness OF Her Sex
Frequently ls Responsible for
Man Being Failure.

A woman contributor to the Wom-
ans Home Companion, in the course
of an article on '"The Country of
Our Dreams" makes the following
statements:
Whenever there is man who is
a failure, look, and there you will
generally find not far from him in
his life some girl or woman who
was selfish. / could show you many
such, who, giving no large service
themselves, prevent serviceableness
in the lives of the men they inhu-
enced; extravagant women, ambi-
tous women, pretty women, senseless
women, emotional and nervous wom-
en-, who actually hinder men from
giving the larger service.
"To put down personal sclfshness,
to go cheerfully about our tasks, to
forget our own good in striving for
the many, to deal justly and rever-
emily with the men we know-you
may call these humble ways, but
they are far-reaching; and, above all,
they are a woman's ways of patriot
ism, such patriotism as shall at last
mold for us, as | think neither votes
for women nor any other agency can,
quite SO potently, the country of our
Dreams"

RIVALS THE PANAMA CANAL
Some Surprising Facts About Great
Waterway Being Constructed
Across New York State.

Comparatively few persons have
given serious attention to the fact
that great barge canal, at an esti-
mated total cost of S101 ,OO0,O is
being constructed across central and
western New York state. This great
walled-up waterway with its locks,
water gates, spillways and highway
bridges, winds across the state from
the Hudson to Tonawanda, giving
access to the old Erie canal, Oswego
canal, Lake Champlain, st. Law
renee and Great lakes, opening a
grand highway from the seaboard
and the first city of the Union.
When one considers that the canal
extends as the crow flies, 353.5 miles
across the state, and with the branch
es to Lake Champlain and Lake On
tario has total length of 1875
miles, it Will be recognized as one of
the largest engineering feats in canal
construction, ranking second only to
the Panama canal. There has been
no end of difficulties met with, such
as quicksands and floods, and fre-
quently bridges had to be built to
make the work possible.

frank, straightforward and manly utterances and pa
eny iterated doctrine has been long recognized but
have been received his death from public bodies
throughout the South. He did much in this way to
correct a sentiment from which all railway property
has suffered in recent years-a sentiment which has
found its expression in belief that rail-
way takes from the public than it gives and his
effort in word and deed to restore just balance
of understanding of the economic necessity to every
citizen in his daily life of well maintained, honestly
administered and prosperous transportation system
In other ways also he gave expression to a broad
view of the ndentty of interest between the welfare of
the railways and that of the public He lent active
cooperation the chief educational, industrial and
commercial interests of the South, and moral support
every which is making for the welfare of
the South but perhaps his greatest service of this
ture his successful campaign for the promotion of
better agriculture.

and to his friends that in 1910 he with the

On the personal side. Mr.. Finley was essentially a
gentleman he demonstrated many occasions the
combination in his character qualities which
may be expressed by the words modesy and courage.
He fair and just in all his dealings, courteous to
all slow to anger, but fierce in his resentment of
injustice in others Partisan in his love for and belief
in the South and its future and in the Southern Rail

feels the loss of friend of charming qualities

Housewives Inaugurate
Campaign to Lower Costs

HOUSTON. Tex. Oct. 23-Led by Mrs
Henry B. Fall. president Of the State
Federation Of Women's Clubs, the
housewives Of Houston have inaugurated
thrift campaign. The high cost of
living is to be reduced The women are
going to lower prices, not by boycotting
merchants nor by legislation, but by
observing the suggestions made at the
great mans meetings at which the
campaign was launched Among the
suggestions were the following:
1T Is woman's business to buy what
goes into the home. She should know
her business. Too many women trust
the buying to their servants. There are
many housewives who do not carry
their bundles home Housewives paw
delivery charges without realizing Il.
Keep a good scale and dry measures in
the house to make sure the merchant
has not cheated. Bring the producer
and consumer together through the
medium Of the ward market Make
cheaper beef possible in the future by
refusing to buy veal now Make it i'm
possible for middlemen to make fouc
or five times as much as the producer.
Don't encourage the use of fancy
labels. They cost money"

ALL-YEAR COMMITTING.

The announcement by at least one
cf the big railroads that it is about
to raise its communication rates comes
at a most depressing season from a
commuters point of view. The dec
laration of such an increase if made
in the spring would sting the con-
muter to the quick and he would
fight against it as well as he could,
hut even in defeat there would be lit
tie gloom. When the weather is fine
and the days long money means III
tie to your true country-lifer. 1T Is
only something with which to buy
seeds and wheel hoes.
But to raise communication rates at
the beginning of wiuter adds misery
10 depression. Only few weeks ago
the roads took off the summer sched-
ule and since then the long-distance
commuters who consider them
selves the really important ones
have rolled home by short but not
easy stages.
Since then the brief days have
come, tn. days when the familiar
but always interesting landscape IS
shut off by darkness from the COM
muter's view before he is half way
tome. There is nothing for him to
do but play rhum Or read.
Rhum- playing does not appeal to
the more intellectual travellers, and
rs for reading, the gentlemen who
design lights for trains do not seem
to have taken Official recognition OF
this popular pastime,
So if one does not play cards and
will not risk his eyes on a book or
paper there is nothing to. do but
think. This is terrible prospect,
considering that he is sure TO begin
thinking about tn, increase in the
price Of monthly tickets.
The later it grows in the season
the worse it will be. Presently win
ter will be tagging the trains and
the commuter will be subject at each
stop to the bitter drafts let in by
the noisy trainmen and the leisurcly
pas sengers.
The summer conmuter has an
easy time Of j. with fast trains and
b::lmy breezes. But the all~the year
commuter, who ought to be coddied
b. the railroads for his abiding faith
in them end their country. is treated
as rudely as-wcl!, rs rudely as the
Interstate Commerce Commission
treats the railroads.
