"Wildcat" Losses Will
Divert Money to Real

Recent exposures Of heavy losses
and gross irregularities in the man

schemes will have a tendency to di-
vert Nebraska investment money
into real estate hereafter, in the
opinion of George F. Jones.
81 have talked with financial men
from all parts of the state in the last
two weeks" Mr.. Jones told the Real
Estate board last week. "Their
opinion is without exception that
the present generation, at least in
Nebraska, will never spend another
dollar buying stock in promotion
schemes.
"The reason for this is very OBJ
vious. Everybody in Nebraska
knows without question that promo
ton schemes are dangerous and
liable to failure. The leases have
been 50 heavy that NOBODY is going
to take a chance again on any kind
of investment that is not absolutely
safe.

This manufacturer had been told

1t threatened the air trusts mo-

quently so. for the liver Is about
the third or fourth commonest seat
Of cancer in the male and a very
considerable share OF cancers of
the liver begin In or nesr the gall.
bladder.
Why this should be we cannot
tell. except that IL conforms to the
broad law that cancer is most
likely to attack organs or regions
which have lost their usefulness
and are losing their vitality.
But this is a rule which has
many exceptions and beyond 1t we
can say very little as to the why
and wherefore of cancer of the
gall-bladder, except that 1t ap-
pears to be rather closely associat-
ed with gall-stones. The older
view was that the prolonged and
continuous irritation produced by
gali-stones gradually stimulated
cancerous growth and the gall
stones were the cause Of the can
Ger.
But more. careful study and
wider observation has thrown
doubt on this and the most prob
able view appears to be either
that the same chronic infection
which gave rise to the gall-stones
also starts the cancer, or that the
cancerous process itself produced
changes in the walls Of the gall
bladder and in the bile, which
starts the formation Of gall
stones.
In other words, either the gall
stones and the cancer are pro.
duced by the same cause or the
cancer causes the gall-stones!
This is borne out by post-mortem
findings which show that while
nearly a third of all cancers of
the gall. bladder are accompanied by
or give a history Of .gall-stones,
only about one or two per cent
Of all gall-stones are accompanied
by cancer.
So that the actual danger of
gall-stones being followed by can
