Governor Brumbaugh is right in re-

happens to have been left upon his
desk by the Legislature. Most of these
measures have been talked over at
length by the lawmakers and it ought
not to be necessary to further take UP
the time of the Governor.

PAN-AMERIcAN COMMERCE

jNUT OF the discussions before the
" Pan-American conference at
Washington may come some
plan for the creation of a merchant
marine that will be creditable to this
country and its South American neigh
bors. Opposition to the administration
scheme of government-owned ships
has increased rather than diminished
since the adjournment of Congress and
any reference to renewal of the Will
son plan is certain to arouse earnest
criticism.
One of the ideas now suggested is
for a joint Pan-American shipping
service with a representative of the
several Pan-American countries CO.
operating with interests in the United
States. The South American delegates
now in session are outspoken in their
opposition to what they call the grip
of the foreign shipping trusts. Lack
Of ships seems to be the one serious
drawback in the development of the
South American trade with the United
States.
Among the various features of the
scheme now tentatively considered is
the selection of ports of call along the
western coast and all along the east
ern coast of South America; these
ports to be chosen on basis of pro-
viding cargoes going and coming.
Whatever the plan finally adopted
it is almost certain that lines of COM
merce between North and South
America will be established as the out
come of the war in Europe. The in
terests of the countries concerned are
so great 1t is inconceivable that the
present situation shall long continue

A CITY MADE BY WAR.

The European war has placed a
new American town on the map,
growing, fourishing commun-
ity, which offers a promising field
for the investor, relates the
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
A year ago there was a flag
station on the Norfolk & West
ern railroad in Virginia called,
because Of it's very desolatlon,
Hopewell. Trains seldom stopped
there. 1t did not possess the
dignity of being even styled a
hamlet. Itw as merely flag sta
ton, nothing more.
Shortly before Christmas, rep
resentatives of the American
Powder company, realizing the
vast amount of work involved in
it's European war orders, found
it necessary to enlarge it's plant.
Approaching the advantage of
isolation and the remote location
Of Hopewell, 1900 acres of land
were purchased for less than $50
an acre. Today town lots are
selling for as much as $4,000. {.
1t is a boom town strictly; it
recalls the days of Gary and
Goldfeld. It brings back the
days of the pioneer west, when
towns of mushroom growth
sprang up in the night and died
as suddenly.
Hopewell is now the center Of
a great industry. Europe is be-
ing supplied with war munitions
manufactured in this out-of-the-
way Virginia community.
Hundreds of men are employed
and nearly every man has a fam
lily. It is estimated that the pop
ulation, from less than a hun
dred souls, has grown to the pre-
tentious figure of $4,000. This
represents the growth Of seven
months.
It is still a raw, wild, excited
boom town, with factories run
ming day and night. with block

That cancer is at first loo a
growth and not general dis
ease of the system is now clearly
established. This fact is of the
utmost importance, since it holds
out high hope of cure if the
malignant growth is removed be
, fore it has time to spread to Other
parts of the body. Cancer be
ginning in one spot later appears
elsewhere, because small particles
or cells are carried away from
the first site and start other
growths. not because there exists
previously some poison in the
blood which causes the disease
to break out in different parts OF
the body. The great hope OF
cure. therefore. lies in removing
cancer entirely from the system
before it has a chance to spread
from it's first foothold.
The reason why so many peo-
pie came to believe that cancer
was a blood disease is doubtless
because it was observed to come
again in the same or other parts
of the body after having been
apparently cut out. 1t was nat
ural to assume that when the
disease kept coming back in this
manner there must be some cause
or faint in the blood which led to
it's breaking out in different pla-
ces much like certain skin dis
eases. The trouble which start
ed this fallacious reasoning was
that in those earlier days cancer
was not so well understood as it
now is. Surgeons then did the
best they knew how. but without
the advantages Of modern meth
DDS they were unable successful
ly to exterminate the disease. The
microscope has now shown us the
paths by which cancer cells
start their invasion of the body
if the first and local appearance
is neglected. Modern surgeons
are therefore, repeatedly success
full in removing the disease once
for all. AS an eminent American

WHY EARLY CANCER IS
Durable.

There is still widenpread mis-.
apprehension that cancer is q
constitutional disease caused by
some substance or poison in the
blood. Those who hold this mis-.
taken opinion commonly believe
that the disease is hereditary, and
in a vague way they think there
must be some faint handed down
from one generation to another
which causes cancer to nourish in
certain families. In the minds
Of people not well informed on
the subject this belief may well
cause feeling that it is somehow
shameful to have the disease
Such misrepresentation. combined
with the nation which has long
prevailed that cancer is hope
less. incurable affection, and that
II is of no use to try to have any
thing done for it, NAV well ac-
count for the extraordinary de-
lay of many sufferers in seeking
treatment. A further cause is the
fact that cancer. in the early
stages. often causes little or no
pain. Many a surgeon has wished
that cancer in its early nantes
cations. might cause the sufferer
half as much trouble as a tooth
ache. for then the patient would
surely be driven to seek relief so
