HOOVER CLUBS
aim EXPLAINED
Statement Issued by J. F.
Lucey, Temporary Chair
man Of Organization.

New York, March 2S.-The follow
ing statement was issued today at
the national headquarters of the
Hoover National Republican Club at
the Hotel Vanderbilt by J. F. Lucey,
temporary chairman of the organ
ization:
Iii view of the discussions as to
the large expenditures that it is
said are being made in the primary
election, about which the people
have a right to be informed, 1 deem
it my duty to state that not a single
contribution in excess of 81, 900 has
been received by the provisional
Hoover National Republican Club.
Approximately $4,000 has been spent
upon its work up to date. all for the
ordinary routine expenses of cler-
ical hire, stationery, quarters and
the like necessities of organization.
I'VE are supporting Mr.. Hoover
for President because we realize the
need of a man of his training. He
has courage, vision and ability. He
is neither a radical nor a reaction
ary. He is always able to accomp-
lish the results with the machinery
at hand. He understands the co-or-
dination of effort and is able to
utilize and obtain to the utmost the
best that is in everyone with whom
he comes in contact.
He did not seek the post as head
of the commission for relief in Bel
gium, the United States Food Ad-
ministration or the International
Food Commission. The United
States drafted his services and he
accepted the responsibility as an
American citizen.
I'VE believe that we have a right
to draft him again and press him
into service once more.
The whole purpose of our or
ganization is to offer a clearing
house through which the many
Hoover Republican clubs of the
country may coordinate their de-
mand that the national convention
of their party draft Mr.. Hoover
once more into the service, this
time for the greatest office in the
gift of the people.

ance as Preventative.

Experiments made in the District
of Columbia by the American Can
Ger Commission, in which they have
developed cancerous growths in the
bodies of rats apd dogs by giving
infected water to drink have led to
the conclusion that infected drink
ing water may be one Of the prin-
cipal sources of cancer infection.
As a result, the commission has
adopted the slogan, boil your

Importance in the prevention of can
Ger. This rule has been placarded
by every board of health in the
country, setting forth that a minute
organism in the water we drink, is
a probable source of cancer.
AS a result of years of research
by the cancer commission, headed
by DIR. Harvey r. Gaylord, of the
Buffalo Institution of Malignant
Diseases, it is believed that the car
rier of the cancer germ and prob
ably the germ itself is in process
of being isolated.
Carrier a Nematode Worm.
The carrier of the germ was
found by the commission in the case
of rats and dogs fed upon the sedi-
ment at the bottom of fish hatchery
pools, to be a microscopic nematode
worm. The worm was so minute
that ii was barely visible under a
high-powered microscope.
Experiments on cats and dogs
were first suggested by the capture
of landlocked salmon with large
thyroid tumors in Lake Sebago, Me.
This fish was forwarded by the ply
sician who caught IL and recognized
the growth to the commission
through DIR. W. c. Kendall. of the
Bureau of Fisheries, of Washington.
The specimens found in the dogs
were forwarded by DIR. Gaylord to
DR.. B. II. Ransom. of the Bureau of
Plant Industry of the Department
of Agriculture. DR.. Ransom found
the worm to be a new species, and
named it Agamonematodum. Dr.
Ransom said last night that the
commission was not yet making the
claim to the discovery of the cause
of cancer.

Miss Brady Is cast as MARY Hor-

to which she returns. that develops
some highly dramatic situations.
The star was never seen to better
advantage. she Is pleasing, satisfac-

stance, an undemonstrative heroine: /:
in other words, she brings to her
audience all the emotion the part
requires without overactipg. She

His Wife's Money deals with

Rather than accept the gibes of his
male companions, Harlowe reverted
to his original wild haunts in the

Mr.. O'Brien, in the role of the

charm over capacity audiences at
Crandalrs Theater yesterday in the
title role of The Social Secretary"
one Of the most diverting of the
many brilliant subjects in which
she has been filmed. This splendid

affords Miss Talmadge one of the
most fruitful opportunities of her
career to reveal those endowments

foremost exponents of pantomimic
art in America. Her beauty was
never more exQuisitely emphasized
than in this picture, her dramatic
power never more forcefully stress
ed and her interpretative sense
never more expertly employed. The
supporting cast, production and di-
rection mark the chief feature at
Crandalrs yesterday and to day as
one of the most entertaining photo
dramas so far released.
The supplementary features of
the bill are also notable. Chief
among these is the rollicking satire

familiar title of I'm Ringing Your
