The Trouble With Art.

Men are without great dreams in
these days, and art is elaborate and
fussy and self-conscious. The techni-
cal part of the work is predominant
One sees the artist holding up mir
ror to himself as he works. Pygmalion
congratulates the statue upon the fact
that he carved it, instead of being
lost in the love of creating. 1t is as
though lover should sing of himself
instead of singing of his lady. The
subtle poison Of self-advertisement has
crept in and peers like a satyr from
the picture and from the statue.

Friends may part. not merely in
body, but in spirit, for awhile In the
hustle of business and the incidents

other for years; they may begin TO
differ in their success in life. in their
opinions, in their habits, and there
may be for a time coldness and
estrangement between them; but not
forever. if each remains trusty and

CANCER DEATHS
INCREASE STEADILY
STATISTICS SHOW THERE WERE
23,295 IN THE UNITED STATES
IN 1904 AND 1929 IN THE YEAR

1918.
Washington, Dec 10.-The number
Of deaths from cancer registered III
the United States increased from %
295 in 1904 to 49.92S in 1913. This
corresponds to a rate of more than 70
per 100000 of population in 1904 ana
nearly 70 per 100000 in 1913.
The death rate per 100000 popuIa-
ton from cancer increased steadily
during the decade, the increase
amounting to 12.5 per cent, compar
ing the first with the last year Of
the decade.
1t is proved again that females are
more subject to cancer than males.
The greatest number of deaths from
this cause occurs between the ages
of so and 20.
The stomach and liver are attacked
by cancer oftenest. Thirty-one per
sons out of every 100000 of the popu-
lation died from cancer so located 10
1913; cancer of the breast was fatal
to out of every 100000 Of the III.
testines to 10. Cancer of the mouth
increased 40 per cent during the dec
ade; of the breast. 20 per cent; OF
the stomach and liver, 10 per cent
Says the bulletin:
THE conclusions DR. Better draws
are that cancer mortality is increas
ing; that the increase is real; that the
question of refined diagnostic methods
and the inclusion Of borderline cases
cannot be a large factor in determin
| ing the rates. that it is hardly prob
able that a physician of decade age
was SO inefficient as not to be able &c
recognize advanced cancer; that the
changes in the composition of the
population, that is in the sex and age
distribution, we're so slight that thC
effect on the increase in the specifi,
rates was negligible

be that the man WAS introduced to

the proposition, thinking it to be a
good one. In company with Mr.. Wing
the man, who gave his name as Mosh-

he talked with Mr. Holman. Finally
the songs were purchased to be put
on sale at the pharmacy, they paying

Mosher went to Walter A. Adams who
conducts a tailoring establishment on
Lawrence avenue. The latter also
bought 100 songs for which he paid

sing the songs did not come. Mr.
