different times. Different types Of the
disease are treated differently. but II
is often found impossible to discrim
mate between the different classes OF
symptoms in men. When mice were
inoculated with the germs, however
effects were produced which readily
classified the disease.
Doctor Wood reported that various
changes in cancer statistics has re
suited during the war, especially In
England, where large classes Of the
population had been sent to the war
but that a careful analysis of the fig
ures showed that the changes were
mainly due to dislocatlon Of classes OF
population, not to any remarkable In
crease or decrease In the disease IL
self.
Death Rate Jumped.
As cancer is most prevalent In per
sons over the military age, the proper
ton of deaths from this cause natur
ally jumped. where the proportion OF
men of younger ages was reduced
In this country, likewise, the records
were found to show that cancer was
most prevalent in Vermont and lcasl
so in Utah and Montana, but this wa.
explained as being due to the fact
that a large percentage of the youth
Of Vermont had migrated and that .
larger proportion OF the population in
the western states was composed Of
newcomers, generally young men and
women.
Among countries. cancer mortality
was greater In Switzerland, and was
highest generally where the highest
civilization was found. Doctor Wood
supposes this to be due. not to any
connection between cancer and a high
state Of civilization. but to the fact
that cancer is less often diagnosed
and reported as the cause of death In
countries like Russia.

New York.-Study of cancer during
the war was impeded. not only by TAX
ing physicians from research work
but because of the shortage OF mice,
which were used in large quantities
with the allied armies for the detec-
ton of gas and the diagnoses Of GER
tain types of disease, according to the
report of DR.. Francis Carter Wood,
director of the George Croker special
research fund of Columbia university.
Thousands of mice which had been
raised for research work were turned
over to the government. The mice
breathe very rapidly and are far more
sensitive TO gases than human beings,
so that they were kept in exposed sec
tors and observed closely, because
their behavior would indicate the com
ing of gas long before 1t could be de-
tected by human beings. 1t was also
announced that mice had been sent
out on board every submarine, for the
same purpose.
