prices recently agreed upon by the In

der the law the contracts go to the
lowest responsible bidder.
The navy, however, reserves the
right to reject any or all bids. Acting
Secretary Roosevelt states that the
navy was not asked if the steel prices
were satisfactory, before they were
announced. 1t is certain the navy con-
tracts will not be let until the present
fight is settled.

Coal Association have announced their
intentions to back the board
The association reiterated its
charge that the Railroad Administra-

General make public all bids on coal,

chases.

Cleopatra was a real prima donna
role by virtue of the lovely singing
of Gladys Price. Her voice ranges
quite to the professional scope OF
prima donnas On brilliant and full
high register. She sings, too, with
taste and a freedom that puts spirit
into her lighter mood and beauty into
her cadences. An interpolated duet.
the "Barcarolle" from THE Tales OF
Hoffman," was given delightfully
with Harry Clarkson, baritone, who
as Ptarmigan, the lover OF Cleopatra,
sang with excellent effect. AS soloist
also he displayed a very musical
voice and altogether was expressive
esthetic in the role OF the music

SURGERY ANDX-RAY
HELP CURE CANCER

Although neither surgery nor x-ray
is certain cure for cancer. a combi-
nation of the two methods has re-
vealed the greatest measure of sue
cess obtainable so far, according to
DR.. Isaac Levin, professor Of cancer
research at the New York University
and Bellevue Hospital Medical Col
Medical Record.
NThus far every attempt at obtain
ing a general specific therapeutic
measure against cancer has failed
and the correct combination OF sur
gerry, x-ray and radium therapy rep
resents the only method of treatment
OF the disease" he says in the article.
The difficulty confronting research
workers who hope to discover a spe-
cific remedy is the fact that any such
measure would have to affect deeply
the cancer cells, while at the same
time remaining Harmless sto the nor
NAL cells. 1t has ben established, how
ever, that raging" never increases
the rate OF growth of the tumor. as
was previously feared by some elm
icians.
1895 Died in 1900.
The gravity Of the problem con-
fronting the medical men may be
seen when It Is stated that in 1900,
according to the census, 1926 men
and women died of the disease. DR..
Levin cites. statistics showing that
from 4 to 10 per cent of canver cases
can be cured by surgical methods,
the IL per cent difference being due
to the skill Of the operating sur
geons.
Even on the supposition OF the un-
attainable ideal, that instead of so
per cent all the cancer patients should
possess the skill of 'Wertheim. Hal
stead, Meyer or Mayo" says DR..
Levin, mot more than about 80 per
cent Of all the cancer cases could be
cured by surgery. At present rather
less than 10 per cent of all cases are
cured by surgery.
Cured 81 Per Cent of go.
In the cases where is is not possible
to operate a clinical cure of 6.7 per
cent in a total Of 979 cases has been
effected by a therapeutic method.
1T must be clearly borne in mind
by every practitioner in medicine that,
just as surgery and autobiography,
without being specific cures, accom-
plish a great deal in cancer, so can
an accurate diagonsis in the very
early stages of cancer be made by
the aid of the various diagnostic
methods in vogue at present in
surgery and medicine" DR.. Levin
states.

.FeEan Sings With Spirit.

Stephen Fegan had the title role
Of Kibosh, the magician. He was
capitally humorous, playing the part
legitimately and singing 1t, too, must-
cally and with quite an .inimitable
spirit. His apprentice, Abydos, was
mostt fetchingly played by Margaret
Hughes, who never for a moment de-
parted from her role and whose
speaking and singing voice made a
frolic OF every line.
The king, PtoIemy, and his queen,
Simoona, both were signally effec-
tive. And they were well sung by
Sigmund Sachs and Mary Langley,
while Cheops, the weather bureau
man, was a comedy foil for the quar-
tet of fun makers. Irma Beaver,
Grace Carnahan, and Anna CARRIER
were picturesque as leaders of the
Amazons and the maids OF honor.
Graceful maidens, ballet episodes,
youths as cavaliers, as kings guards,
citizens, slaves, made up as brilliant,
large and imposing a chorus as we
see on the professional stage. 1t Is
a tribute to the art forces Of the
school and the taste OF the students.
The opening choruses Of the last
two acts were gems in stagecraft,
the male chorus OF the stonecutters in
the particularly effective interior OF
the Kings Private Pyramid" being
one of the memorable incidents.
Effective Lighting and Costumes.
Costumes and lightings were richly
ornamental. with quite marvellous
head-dresses and girdles.
To the orchestra and its spirited
director, Dora Walter, OF the faculty
OF Tech, who was the genius of the
entire production, much praise is
due. The Tech orchestra of students,
with few professionals, and Paul
w, Fishbaugh at the pianO. completed
a personnel hat few schools could
rival.
A candy sale for the Tech Red
Cross was held during intermiss!ons,
for the fund to erect a memorial to
the thirty Tech men who gave their
lives in the service OF their country,
with the other 500 Tech men on the
honor role. The matinee today is a
Red Cross benefit. ."
The opera performance Of produc-
ton of "The Wizard Of the Nile is a
highly significant event in civic ac-
complishment, using as 1t does so
many Of the arts to make it an artis-
tic whole. j. MacB.

Paris July 4.-Fololwing is the text of General Pershing's speech at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon today:
 Few Americans can more fully and completely understand the significance of this Independence Day than those who have lived in France and who have sym pathized and suffered with her people. Few can know better her sacrifices and the significance of her devotion to the cause of civilization. None can know better the problems which confronted the American army.
 You have lived close to the battle lines. You have passed through the dark period of 1918, when you counted the days until American efforts should de- velop. You have seen the tide of battle turn and have followed the successes of our troops through the final victory.
 "You will recall our beginning with the first division at Cantigny; then, when in greater numbers, our forces carried forward the brunt of the Marne-Somme offensive, which gave the allies the m itiative; later, when they fought beside the allies in Champagne and again wher they were united as the first army 1T the battle of St. Mihiel, and, finally their supreme effort in the Mouse Ar gonne, where the declSlNe ploW oI lht war was struck.

Paris, July IA gala performance of Faust" at the opera, with Marshal Foch and General Pershing as the spe- cially honored guests, concluded the notable joint French and American cele- bration of the Fourth of July. The day opened with an early morning review commemorating Frances participation in the American revolution and the celebra- tion afforded varied entertainment for the thousands of American soldiers mark ing time in Paris while awaiting trans portation homeward.
 There was even a real wild west" parade down the Champs Elysees and through the Place De La Concorde, given by an American army circus show ing in Paris. The cowboys, cowgirls and Indians, riding gaily through the Place De La Concorde to the music of wild vest band, proved far greater attrac- tion to the French than the brilliant military spectacle.
 Popcorn, peanuts, lemonade and ice cream were offered in abundance by the various service canteens, and flag sellers were displaying badges of the American colors everywhere. The weather man. however did not offer sufficient heat to make it a typical American celebration and speed up the ball games and races. The sky was overcast the entire day.
 The tremendous ovation given Marshal Foch at the American Chamber of Com rnerce luncheon and his response to per sistent demands for a speech, was one of the most pleasant features of the cele- bration.
 Marshal Foch was seated by General Pershing at the luncheon.
 The address of General Pershing was supposed to conclude the programme, put the 400 diners, including all the promi- nent members of the American colony, the British ambassador and nearly all the South American diplomats In Parls' rose and insstently demanded speech from Marshal Foch.

General Pershings Report
 AtFourth Of JulyLuncheon

portant questions are to be met, dis turbances in our industrial life are to be equitably adjusted and the les ously that we may not again neglect preparedness.
 At the outset it is for us to see that the conditions of peace are faith fully performed and that those who were responsible for the war pay the full penalty. Let no one doubt that it is our fixed purpose to see that the terms of the treaty are completely full filled.
 This war has brought about among the allies a common understanding and a realization of community of in-
 terest that will make for peace, with out which agreements are futile. l. is especially important that Americans resident in France should cherish and perpetuate, as our representative
 those amicable relations necessary to continuance of complete accord be- tween oar two peoples.
 This meeting recalls vividly6 to mind a similar gathering two years ago when our heavy task lay before
 us We were then face to face with d situation that demanded the best that was in us. True to our traditions, we have met it courageously and fearless ly, and we shall meet the problems that now confront us with the same resolution and confidence and the same devotion to our ideals with which we undertook and carried through oui
 part of the war
