AUTOMOBILE RUNS
into Wire fence
New England Parties Re-
ceive Bad Cuts as a Re-
suit of Accident.

New England, N. D.. Aug. ia
serious mishap and what came very
near being a fatal accident occurred
in this village. when DR.. G. A. Sar-
chet in company with his wife and
her sister, Mrs. Max Steele. were re-
turning from an auto drive in the
country. They encountered a newly
constructed barbed wire fence which
had been put up to stop teams from
ern part of town. The car struck the
fence between two posts at a speed Of
about seven miles an hour. One of
the wires vas broken but the other
went over the top of the wind shield
and caught the doctor under the chin,
cutting an ugly cash in his neck and
very nearly reaching the jugular vein.
He also received a deep cut on the
face which laid the cheek bone bare.
Mrs. Steele was in the rear seat with
Mrs. sachet. She had one arm badly
cut and bruised by the wire. Mrs.
Sarchet went through the mixup with
out receiving a scratch.
h moment the car struck the
wire DR.. sarchet applied the foot
brake and the machine only went a
few feet beyond the fence. The doc
tor very calmly walked to his home
a few rods distant and with the help
OF Mrs. Sarchet, dressed his wounds.
h wire fence had been put up
that day on a trail that had been used
for several months. The doctor had
seen the fence earlier in the day but
had forgotten 1t until he struck the
wires in the evening. There were no
guards put up to serve as a warning,
and as he had not lighted his auto
lamps he did not see the fence untiI
the machine struck It.

In the average American of today,

WHY CANCER SEEMS ON IN
CREASE.

New York Tribune: Whenever pub
tic attention is directed TO the pres.
ence and problems of a given disease,
its frequency and the death rate from
it appears to increase. The classic
example of this truth is to be found
in the case of appendicitis. Just now
1t is having an illustration in the ap-
parent increase in cancer
All sorts of explanations were put
forth to account for the sudden prev
alence Of appendicitis until it gradual
ly became understood that it was due
almost entirely to the changed diagno-
sis of physicians. Diseases which be
fore had come under other headings
we've not recognized as due to affIic-
tiors Of the appendix. To a very
small extent. of course, public concen
tration On this human i'll actually may
have led to its contraction by some
of the more nervonsly inclined. But
these cases constituted a practically
negligible factor.
1t is a comfort. therefore, to he re
minded of this explanation in face of
the reported alarming rise i'll the rate
of death from cancer. Assistant Sur
geon General Rucker, in an editorial
In Public Health Reports" maintains
that If there is an increase it is due
to the increased attention given the
disease and to the fact that physi-
clans are becoming better diagnos-
ticians. DIR. Rucker does not believe
the danger to the individual of con
greater"
A little wholesome optimism Of this
sort is worth a great many reports Of
cancer cures.
