and he has it.
Men are pretty much alike, strip

can boast OF inherited character-that
is cne. thing we must build for our
selves. One way to build is to get
the thrift habit-the. habit of putting

in the form you like best. bur give
your character IL chance by saving a
little or lot. as you are able. but

$4,000 DIE. OF CANCER
IN COUNTRY LAST YEAR
Northern States Have Comparative
ly Higher Mortality Rate
Than South.

Deaths from cancer in the death reg
istration area of the United States in
1890 totaled approximately $4,000.
according to report by the census
bureau. which on a basis of propor-
tional population estimated the total
of deaths for the entire country at
$4,000, or an increase Of 5000 from
the estimate for 1919.
The upward trend Of the cancer
death rate. the report said. is ac-
curately shown by the increase to
1914 per 100000 population in the
registration area in 1920 from a rate
Of sos per 100000 in 1919
Using an "adjusted' rate for state
and sectional comparisons of cancer
mortality. calculated on an allow
ance for differences in average age
and sex distribution of the popula
tions, the report concludes that "the
northern states have comparatively
high and the southern states a COM
naratively low cancer mortality"
Among states in the registration area.
Massachusetts showed the highest
adjusted" rate. SO per 100000, while
the rate of 45.9 for South Carolina
was the lowest.
Race comparisons for various sec
tions under the adjusted rates, the
report said, show the white and negro
races to be equally susceptible to the
disease. with both appa rently less
susceptible in the south than in the
north.

NEW STREET BILL
Ham Believes New Route to
Georgia Avenue Would
Handicap Line.

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company may oppose the bill
now before Congress to open a new
tween 7th and 9th streets in order
to divert the cars of that company
to Georgia avenue without passing
over the congested Florida avenue
tracks
The Commissioners yesterday sent
to Congress a repn"t favoring the
project. with few changes. AS
originally drafted. the bill provided
that half the cost of condemning and
opening the street be assessed against
the two street railway companies ana
the balance against the benefited
property owners.
The Commissioners recommended
that the distribution of damages be
left to the condemnation jury. and
further suggested that, inasmuch as
would benefit the community as a
whole, an appropriation might be
made to cover part Of the cost. The
Commissioners estimated the cost OF
condemning the street at $4,000.
Cost 80 a Foot.
William f. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric, de-
clared tcda: that that amount would
be insignificant in comparison with
the expense the company would face
in building new tracks from 9Th and
Florida avenue through the proposed
new street to Georgia avenue. With
the underground system. he said. new
trackage costs about $50 a foot
MIR. Ham further contended that the
new street would take the Washing
ton Railway and Electric cars so fai
away from the entrance to the base
ball park that the company woulc
lose much of it's traffic to that point

PRHamENT HARDING rs RIGHT

PREaIDENT HARDING 1s RIGHT
Red. Wing Eagle:-President Hard
ing is clearly right in desiring the rati-
fication Of the treaty, which awards
Colombia 25,00O,00O damages for the
loss Of her province of Panama. It's a
simple act of justice, for it was the at
titude of the United States government
and it's immediate recognition of the
proclaimed independence of Panama
that stopped Colombia's legitimate ef-
forts to hold her revolving province.
The treaty, which has been pending
ever since 1914, was resoldtely opposed
in the Senate on the ground that it was
an indirect admission of injustice to-
ward a friendly republic on the part of
the Roosevelt administration, but the
opposition is said to have weakened of
late under pressure from American
commercial interests desiring the good
will of Colombia. Ratification is desir-
able not only for its effect in Colombia
but for the effect in all Spanish Amer
lea.
