WHAT CANCER is NOT
Bv H. AddingtOn Bruce

n IMPLY justified as is the universal dread
IN of cancer, that dread is needleSSly i1ten-
Sified for many people by certain erron-
eouS ideas regarding this terrible Scourge of
the human race. They are ideas, moreover,
tending to bring upon those entertaining them
all the evil consequences of chronic worry.
Also they may have the deplorable effect of
increasing the SufferingS of cancer victims.
Thus, inadequate nursing may be-and in some
cases undoubtedly has been-the consequences
of widespread belief that cancer is contagious
Whereas, according to official bulletin of
the United States Public Health Service, giving
the consensus of expert medical opinion:
mo germ capable of causing cancer in human
beings or animals has ever been demonstrated
In all the thoSandS of recorded operations for
cancer there is no report of a case in which
cancer was acquired from the patient by any
surgeon or nurse.
"Nor is there any reason to believe the Sto~
rieS so often told of cancer houses or cancer
villages The occurrence of a large number of
cases in a particular house or street has usually
been shown by careful investigation to be due
10 the fact the house or street has been occu-
pied by an unusual proportion of persons above
middle age.
"The possibility of transferring cancer from
one person to another by direct contact should
therefore be diSregarded."'
lHOuSH, Oh course, Ill uuISlIlS CdHSCI pdtlSlltSb
as in nursing patients stricken by other diseases,
the usual con.lnon-SenSe precautions of modern
hygiene and sanitation should be observed. Not
because neglect to observe them may mean
tranSference of cancer from patient to nurse,
but because the dressings, etc, may contain
germs capable of causing erySipelaS and other
inflammatOnS.
1t is, again, widely believed that cancer is
disease directly tranSmiSSible by inheritance.
e - {Lapa
heredity in cancer it is no more than the in
heritance of a tendency predispoSing to the
contracting of cancer if one happen to subject
ones self to corresponding conditions.
Even the inheritance of such tendency is
strongly questioned by many authorities, who
point OUT
"a disease so widely prevalent is cancer
must necessarily, by the simplest law of chance,
frequently attack several members of the same
family in the same or succeeding generations"
Finally, it is important to emphasize that
whatever cancer is, it is not related in any way
to the So-called venereal diseases, and should
never be thought of as implying any kind OF
moral diScredit in the afflicted individual or his
family.
There are people who do so think of it. And
because of the odium thereby falsely attached
to cancer, not few victims of the disease are
led to conceal their condition even from their
physician until it is too late for medical
science to help them.

Conserving a Country's Health
N M ITCHELL county is to be congratu-
lated upon having joined the ranks OF

V lated upon having joined the ranks of
those discerning Georgia communities
that have avaled themselves of the benefits
of the Ellis Public Health law. Enacted
some years ago to conserve the most vital of
all natural resources, this measure author
ICES, upon the due recommendation of grand
juries, the creation of sanitary districts and
supervising health boards, the latter in each
case being composed of three members, one
of whom shall be a physician. Under the
boards guidance and with its encourage
ment are launched such valua BILE lines of
service as medical inspection of school chill
dren, surveys to insure the purity of water
supplies the quarantining of contagious NAL
aides, and the education of the mass Of the
people both il the prevention of disease and
the fostering of health. The work may be
limited or it may be extensive, as the local
authorities decide; it may be financed spar
ngly or given sineWs for detailed and far
reaching endeavors. In any case it will re-
pay a thousandfold the investment Of time
and tax.
Civic leaders in Mitchell county are espe-
cially gratitied over the prospect of the serv-
ice because, as they point out, it will afford
/ base for cooperation with larger forces in
combating malaria. That infection is by no
means particularly pronounced in Mitchell.
Indeed, the county enjoys rather rare de-
gree Of immunity since it's vigorous attack
upon the gcrm-carrying mosquito. School
after school and community after commun-
ity," runs recent report, "have been visited
in the last few weeks by representatives of
the United States public health service, and
wherever a prior effort had been made sys-
tematcaly to get rid of malaria, it was in
frequent that even light cases were found. ,
Earnestly DESTROYS, however to free the
county altogether the leaders welcome the
adoption of the Ellis Act provisions .as a
means of enlisting the aid of such national
agencies as the Rockefeller Foundation
Heretofore the county has had to decline, for
lack Of an approved administrative board of
health, financial assistance which the Founda-
ton stood ready to give.
This is but one Of divers reasons that
should persuade every community which has
not yet taken advantage of the Ellis law to
do so without delay Those lingering beyond
the pale of it's wise provisions missing
| priceless opportunities, not only for outside
aid, but also for efforts and safeguards of
| their own. Given interested and cOmpe-
! tent board of health with such powers and
| such support as this law cOntemplates a
| county will make in one year more progress
| in preventing disease ana conserving health
| than otherwise it would make III five or ten.
| In Georgia today millions of dollars worth
| Of human energy is lost through sickness and
physical depression which efficient public
| health endeaYor could easily eliminate. Eco
nomc interests alone, aside from the incom-
parably higher concerns of heart and home,
| bid every community do its utmost in this
vital realm. W.

ism and himsol an expert craftsman, but he
should know something of physics and
metallurgy. knowledge of these subjects
and also of astronomy and trigCnometry can
be used by the expert matchmaker in his
work.
Fewer and fewer students are entering
the schools of horology. One watch factory
in New England experimental with the idea
of filling the depleted ranks of the watch
makers from the high schools Students in
the senior year were offered the chanc, OF
spending half of their time in the watch fac
tory, with credit for study there.
This was intended to interest students in
the work, so that they would enter the fac
tory or a school of horology when they grad
uateu. The plan did not work. repre-
sentative of the company told the HorClog-
ical institute that he boys were more strong
ly attracted )y the short courses that would
fit them for more remuneratiVe AIDES
The Neurological institute hopes to interest
more students in the profession of horology,
where, it avs, chances for advancement are
good 1t also hopes to improve salaries.
The institution hopes also to raise the
standard of repair work, and to encourage
research work in order to advance our tech
nique of Matchmaking.
Certified Watchmakers
This is to be done by certifying watch
makers. No matchmaker will be required to
take an examination. But those who wish to
be certified will be given a chance tC take
the time section of che bureau of standards.
The matchmaker will be given Watc4i to re-
pair and will be asked questions to test his
understanding, of the work.
Three examinations for three grades are
to be given, aGco- ding to the Institutes de-
csion. These will be for Certified Junior
Matchmaker certified matchmaker" and
certified horoligist.'
The man Who passes the first grade test
the last name'-must be specialist. Such
a man is, an engineer in horology, and the
fact that he deals with springs and screws
that are almost invisible, instead of with
iron Orders, makes his work no less techni-
caly eXacting.
The tests are to be of value to the public
in that certificate from the Neurological in
stitute should Ha sign of ability. On the
other hand, as the tests are not compulsory
lack of a certificate will not imply incom-
petence.
The tests are also designed to promote
They will know that by taking these tests
and perhaps studying to gain the higher GER
tificates, they can earn more money and
reputation for greater skill.
Members of the Neurological institute have
said that the work of their organization now
is chiefly for the future. Men who have
been earning their living for years do not
always take kindly to examinations and GER
tifcates though the. institute has found
that it's Nwn members from big watch COM
panies and repair shops are willing to stand
the tests for the example of the thing.
The certificates will be of most interests
to young students of horOlogy who will be
encouraged to study longer and become
expert, instead of accepting the poorly paid

nesslike; it is truly scientific. May the prin-
ciple it embodies be widely applied.
But with or without the primary co-opera-
ton of farmers, the business leadership Of
Georgia should see to it, both as a matter of
enlightened self-interest and for the larger
good of the Commonwealth, that markets are

This is the sure way to Investigation, to Sc

Chinese suit
AS means of adjusting a difference be-
tween Chinese litigants who appeared in
the mixed court recently at Shanghai, the
court directed that grave mound 200 years
old should be opened
The dispute concerned the ownership of
small tract Of ground. In the action, Sung
Chi-dong alleged that Yih Woo-zoong i'm
vaded the premises under controversy and
erected a bamboo fence around certain
graves thereon, asserting that the place was
ancestral burying ground. The plaintiff
claimed the property as his own by ances-
trail grant.
When the grave mounds were opened,
there were brought to light the tablets Of
Chinese and his wife who had lived and died
under the reign of the Emperor K'ang Hsi.
When the tablets were brought to court
it found that the characters on them
were of peculiar form and the writing read
from left to right instead of from top to
bottom, but the mixing was clear and the
plaques were we'll preserved
After the reading of the tablets the court
announced the graves as those of the de-
PENDANTS family and Sung's petition was dis
