the happy time when early operation
might almost certainly have cured has
gone by, and again "Too late" is the
sad verdict.
The American Society for the Con-
troll of Cancer was formed in 1913.
DR.. Charles A. Powers, a retired sur
geon of Denver, whom l am proud
to call an old friend, is the president.
They are carrying on vigorous cam
paign of enlightment, to wake up the
nation to the growing peril of cancer.
They are very live body. A large
number of doctors are members and,
what isVhe most encouraging, an
increasing number Of public-spirited
men and women are also members.
The nominal dues are five dollars a
year, but many give up to fifty dol
lars a year as patrons, and others, to
aid the cause, give their hundreds
and thousands. The society sends
out circulars, pamphlets, etc., by the
thousand, organizes lecture courses in
many places, and spreads abroad the
good news Of the durability of cancer,
provided that their advice is strictly
followed. This year they proposed to
make special effort during the week
of October 30th to November 5th to
arouse a nationwide interest and a
nationwide activity to control cancer,
by persuading all who have or suspect
they have the disease, to secure i'm
mediate competent advice and treat
mont.
/ earnestly urge that every reader
of this paper will jim this admirable
and wholly altruistic society. 1t takes
much effort and much money to wake
up whole nation; but that is exactly
our intention. We doctors are hearth
ly in accord with the objects of this
society.
Preventing Sickness
Did it ever occur to you that we Of
the medical profession, so far as l
know, are the only persons who are
doing their best to prevent sickness
and death-the very source of our
whole income? Who are the leaders
in the prevention of typhoid fever,
diphtheria, tuberculosis, and other
grave dangers of life, and who are
the promoters of the health of whole
communities ?-The doctors! l exult
in this altruistic devotion! And not
few have given their own lives in
the endeavor to save the lives Of
others!
Readers of the Companion may OBJ
tain any desired information on this
subject by writing to the American
Society for the Control of Cancer,

TALK
BOYS, CHARTER

Training Of boys and the proposed
city charcter occupied the attention
Of the Rotary Club at its luncheon
today in the club room of the Hotel
DUPONT Sixty-three per cent. OF the
membership attended.
The Rev James NJ. Grant. OF ST.
Patrick's r. c. parish. who served
as a chaplain in France. gave his
views on better upbringing of youths.
II was a difficult proposition. he
said, and one of highest Importance
because the boys of today are the
men of tomorrow. He added he had
found that in many instances where
boys had been committed TO insutu-
tons by juvenile courts, the parents
were far more to blame for their
offenses than the children.
ITO get a system which properly
will care for boys, physically, morally
and mentally" continued Father
Grant, lis most difficult In my ex-
perience in the war, he said, 81 found
our boys physically and morally su-
perior to tlOse Of any other nation +,
but from a mental standpoint they
were seriously defective The for
mer chaplain cited how in one camp
at which he lad been stationed, he
had found no fewer than 1890 youths
who could neither read nor write
their own names. He illustrated this
condition by a humorous story Of a
youth who had been listed as "Wil-
liam Jones" Yet on the day follow
mfg. at rollcall, when the Sergeant
called "William Jones'" the youth
failed to respond When the Sergeant
questioned aim. the youth replied his
name wasn't william Jones' but
Bill Jones'
Father Grant condemned certain
classes OF the movies" as bad for
the morals Of youths, and urged all
Rotarians to oppose all pictures cal
culated to injure character.
Following a discussion q the city
charter bill. petitions were distributed
to each member Of the club present
with the request that they obtain sig
natures. In this way several thou-
sand names are expected to be OBJ
tanned. The petitions will be sent to
the LEGISLATURE.
William 3. Foster and Joseph s.
Hamilton were appointed delegates
to represent the Wilmington Rotary

that an automobile like the ono
which Mrs. Brinsield described had
been standing near the curb on sun
day afternoon with a driver in tho

Mr.. Brinsfeld said that the only
explanation he could offer for the

and recognizing him, determined to

meaning 1919.) The 1919 amend
ment expressly provides for the re-
peal on January 1, 1920, OF certain
sections OF the former act. and a
substitute is enacted in lieu there
OF to take effect on the said first
day of January. 1920. Therefore,
up TO and including the 3lst day
OF December. 1919 there was no
change in the State income tax law
insofar as the question OF the right
TO claim certain deductions from in
come. which prompts your inquiry
is concerned. It will be observed
that certain sections OF the 1919
amendment are expressly provided
TO take effect on January /, 1920. hut
that there is no such provision with
respect to certain other sections OF
the 1919 amendment In our opin-
ion those sections OF the 1919
amendment which are expressly pro-
vided TO take effect on January l..
1920. have no effect on incomes for
the year 1919.
.: As to your second question, we
are Of opinion that the salaries OF
Federal employees are not taxable
under the State income tax law. II
the State Militia receives salaries
from the Federal Government, then
the same thing holds true. but II
the salaries OF the State Militia are
paid by the State, then in such case
we are OF opinion that they are sub
ject to the State income tax law.
