In statement preliminary to
cancer control week." to be oh.
served here November 12 to IS, DR..
William G. Fowler. District health
officer, today pointed out that while
the death rates for tuberculosis and
other dread diseases have been
materially reduced in the past
twenty years that for cancer has
risen more than So per cent.
"The death rate In Washington
has increased from II per 100, ,000
in 1902 to 10 In 1921" declared
DR.. Fowler.
A campaign of public education
Is vitally necessary, said the health

warts. moles. chronic ulcers and
other skin blemishes.
"All these conditions should be
watched carefully" warns DR.
Fowler. EARLY diagnosis is the
most important factor in the treat
ment Of this disease"

she recover she will face a charge
OF murder.
The Associated Charities. through
Miss Mary Gwynn. memper OF the
board Of managers, last night de-
clared that II was not through anv
fault of that organization or any
other organized charity here that
Mrs. Gnash sought to end her life.
The Associated Charities would
gladly have ministered to the wom-

and requested 1t. Miss Gwynn said.
Col. Archibald Hopkins, chairman
of the board, said that the killing
of the child and attempt Of suicide
would no doubt have been averted
had Mrs. Gnash appealed to the
Associated Charities. No defender
for the woman will be provided
should she face q murder trial,
Colonel Hopkins said, because there
is no provision for such a course
and no funds are available.
