ORIGIN OF CANCER
DEFINITELY FOUND
DIR. FRANZ KOPSCH, OF BERLIN
PROVES BY EXPERIMENTS
WITH FROGS.

New York, Oct. 24.-A German
scientist claims to have discovered
the definite origin of cancer, the mys-
terry disease which has defied science,
it was learned here today.
DR.. Franz Kopsch, Berlin univers-
ity, has informed friends in this
country that while experimenting
with frogs he accidentally discovered
that cancer was transmitted from {
larva of the earth carried by angle
worms.
DR.. H. A. Haubold, New York med
ical scientist and friends of the Ber-
lin professor, is now directing a ser
les of experiments in New York lab
oratories through which ii is hoped a
practical method for prevention OF
cancer may be obtained.
Il cannot predict that this work
will result in the finding of the way
to cure cancer-except perhaps in the
early stages" DR.. Haubold said to-
day." But this discovery of origin is
certainly a great step taken toward
the solution of the mystery. 1t, as
least, throws a little light of fact
through the mystery of theories. This
discovery has been proven. 1t is
fact-not a theory.
DR.. Kopsch, while experimenting
with frogs in Berlin, 9erdered about
so of them fed with house flies, an
gle worms and lettuce lice. Several
of the frogs died and the doctor was
astounded to find they showed eXac
symptoms of tumor.
On investigation he learned the!
died of cancer. 1t was the true de
structive cancerous growth. One fol
lowed the other in all parts OF th'
body. This proved emphatically
was cancer.
He found that the angle worms
contained an earth larva which, wher
liberated during digestion in. the frot
caused the cancer. The house flies
and lettuce lice were not responsible
.In humans this larva might d
transmitted through fresh food
which are derived from the earth.
"It is possible a chemical solution
can be introduced which would de
stroy this larva before 1t takes Ell
feet, thus killing the cancerous &C
tion.

Has It's First
Sunday School

Davenport, Ia, Oct. 24.-Unusuai
interest has been aroused in Walcott,
Ia. IL miles west of here, by the es-
tablishment of Sunday school. the
first in the history Of that commun-
ity. Walcott's religious sentiments
have been said to be unique. Al
though a progressive business COM
munity with fine homes, schools and
banks, the town has no churches.
Since its founding, about 80 years
ago, Walcott citizens are declared
to have refused to support a church.
Walcott had the distinction OF be-
ing the wealthiest town per capita In
the United States. A modern public
auditorium recently was erected
there.
But the town doesn't want church
es and the majority of its citizens
have boycotted all church move
ments, according to prominent citi-
zen who today made this explana-
tion:
"We have always had peace, loyal
ty and order in our town without
churches and we don't want this
spirit disturbed"
The new Sunday school starts with
26 pupils.

Few Applying For
Big Game Licenses

Lead, Oct. 24.-With the opening
of the deer season but a few days
distant the sportsmen OF the Hills
are not appearing over anxious to Sc
cure licenses to hunt for big game
AT closing time this afternoon the
county treasurer had issued out
three.
It is expected that before the close
of the week applications Will Degin
to pour in, and during the days just
preceding the opening Of the season
the clerks in the treasurer's offlce
will be kept busy filling out and Is
suing the licenses to applicants. How
ever. it is not believed as many IL
censes will issue this season as last
for with the slaughter of deer re-
stricted to one for each hunter, and
that one a buck, not many are goine
to risk the chances of spending three
or four weeks in the woods to accom-
plish their object of killing deer.

MAY RUN SHORT
ON BONUS MONEY
MORE VETS In DAKOTA THAN
WERE EXPECTED.

Pierre, Oct. 24.-Whether former
outh Dakota service men will re-
ceive the full amount of SIS for each
month spent in military service on
their state bonus, as authorized by
the state soldiers compensation law,
or whether they will have to content
themselves with only part of that
amount, is matter of some specula-
tion here.
Thus far in the three months of
the bonus boards operation, $4,000
claims have been filed. The average
amount of each of the first 10000
claims approved is $2O1, or approx
imately 25 per cent higher than was
expected when the $6,000,000 bond
ed indebtedness for the payment of
state bonus was voted upon last
fall The question is said to be a
serious one and the board is watch
ing developments carefully.
Two years ago, when the matter
of state soldiers bonus was brought
up at the special legislative session,
government statistics were accepted
as to the number of men in the serv-
ice from South Dakota and the aver
age length of time each served. On
this basis it was figured out $50
would be the average amount of each
mans claim.
Should the total amount of the
claims approved exceed the $6,OOO,-
600 limitation fixed~by the constiru-
tional amendment, there are said to
be three possible methods of proce-
dure. One would be to withhold pay
ments until all claims are arryoved
and then to pro rate the MOI ide-
rived from the bond issue. ther
would be to have second c. stitu-
tional amendment submitted to the
people by either calling a special ses-
sion of the legislation before the next
state election or allowing the regular
session in 1923 to adopt and submit
such an amendment at the general
election of 1924.
The third suggested possibility
be to have the legislature appropriate
out of funds derived from taxation a
sum sufficient to make up the de-
ficiency. This fund would have tc
come from sources of taxation, it is
pointed out, because the constitution
al amendment governing the bonus
limits the bonded Indebtedness into
which the board may enter.

LIQUOR RULINGS
DRAWING PROTESTS
SENATE NEARLY READY TO
HEED STORM OF DISAPPROV-
AL OVER ENFORCEMENT.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The senate
will shortly be asked to save home
brew.
In response to a clamor raised
about Prohibition Commissioner Hay
nes' recent order to end home brew
ing by stopping the sale of materials
and implements required by home
brewers, several senator's are consid-
ering measures to get the issue set
tied. Among these are:
/. A resolution calling on Hay
mes to state by what construction OF
the law he feels himself empowered
to enforce this ruling.
2. A set of amendments to Vol
stead law defining more specifically
and limiting more closely to prohibi'
ton commissioners power.
8. Complete revision of the law
with a view to liberalizing it thru
out.
On account of the existing legisla
tive situation the effort to save home
brew may be referred until the De
cember session.
Protests a tfirst appeared to come
principally from those business con
Germs directly effected by the order
In the last few days, however, botf
congress and Haynes officers have
been swamped with protests from In
dividuals.
The protests are not limited TO th'
effort stop home brewing but cover
the whole range of prohibition en-
forcement.
Vets in congress declared tn
country is revolt against the presen
law or at least against the manner 0
it's enforcement. Many "drys" ar
willing that the law should be liber
allied.

SURFACE FAILS
TO REVEAL OIL
SURVEY, HOWEVER
CONSIDERS 1T POSSIBLE THAT
1T MAY BE FOUND.

Vermillion, Oct. 24.-The State
Geological and Natural History Sur
vey has just made public in bulle-
tin the results of an investigation 1t
conducted this summer regarding the
possibilities of oil in eastern Penning-
ton county.
The territory gone over was rec
tangular piece lying between Conata
and Interior, and north of White
River, which has been looked upon as
one of hte most promising in the
state.
The results, as summed up in the
bulletin, are that, while surface evil
dence of oil is entirely lacking, and
while there are no well defined DOM
es or closed structures in the area, 1T
is possible that oil may be found in
that portion of the area on or near
the outcrop OF the Pierre shale.
The oil geologists of the survey
emphasize the facts that the nearest
producing oil field is more than a
hundred miles distant, and the near
est authentic oil showing is but lit
tie closer. On theoretical grounds
the chances for oil in South Dakota
are less favorable than farther west.
be cause many of the producing
sands thin out toward the east. In
the region investigated there are nc
deep wells and the lower geological
formations are practically unknown;
hence it is possible that the drill may
reveal oil in places where the surface
indications are not especially favor
able.
