Control OF Cancer

hapS the most important of these is cancer a
disease almost as menacing to middle age AS
tubercuc:is is TO adolescence.
Control o; this dread malady has been
rendered more difficult by the foolish feeling
that in some manner or degree il was shame

was hardly nice thing 10 talk about in lay
gatherings Patients concealed their III
ncaSes and families concealed the cause Of
death. Il ripUs fraud TO which too many
physicians lent their aid
La''criy il has come 10 be understood that
publicity is as essential to the control Of
cancer as 10 the control OF tuberculosis.
Inc disease is dangerous. indeed, only when
II is neglected. for an incipicnt cgnccr can
be removed without difficulty by the surgeon $
knife. But after the infection HIS rooted
and spread. an operation is always hazardous
and frequently impossible. and in many case;
the victim finds himself condemned TO a
lingering and painful death
There is mystery enough in the cause OF
cancer, Int there is no mystery about it's
proper treatment. That involves one thing
only the prompt use Of The knife while the
cancer yet is opc:ablc II is Il scourge with
which no sane man. who understood the
danger would take any chances. The
trouble has been that tho danger was no;

one OF the old British cannon
abandoned mere by General Brad
dock surmounts the monument. For
many years the cannon had stood up
right In the earth at one OF the cIty'a
street corners as a marker and was
an object OF interest To ~slghtseers. BY
an act OF the city council several
years * the ancient piece OF ord
nance, brought from England by
General Braddock when he came out
TO Virginia as generalisslmo OF all
the British forces In the American
olonies In the wal against the
French, was turned over to the
Mount Vernon chapter OF the Dnugh-
ters OF the American Revolution.
That organization today formally
presented II TO the Virginia Colonial
Danes. under whose auspices the
monument was erected.
Forming the base OF the monu-
ment n mounting the old cannon
are other relics Of by-gone days In
the shape OF cobbiestunes which for
more than a century had served the
city OF Alexandria as paving In some
OF its principal streets and which
show the ruts worn by the artillery
and transports Of the northern arr
mics during the Civil war. The
stones are said by tradition to have
been laid on A~lexandrin's streets by
Hessian soldiers captured IN the Wal
of the Revolution by the Continental
troops.
A bronze tablet on one side of the
base OF the monument bears this in
scription:

doucd by General Braddock at old
