Subsidy With a Vengeance

NALYSIS of the marine subsidy meas
n ure, for the enactment Of which Presi-
dent Harding has called an extraordi-
nary session of Congress, reveals some as
tonishing figures.
It is proposed, for one thing, to authorize
the Shipping Board to sell to private inter-
ests for the sum of two hundred million dol
lars the emergency transport fleet, which
cost American taxpayers approximately three
billion dollars. It is not to be expected, of
course, that vessels built under stress of war
needs will return, at peace-time sale, any
thing like their original value; heavy de-
probation is inevitable. 1t does seem, how
ever, that two billion, eight hundred million
dollars is rather an excessive loss for the
public purse to sustain.
The ships having been sold for this song,
the purchasers would be granted subsidies
or bonuses amounting to some seven hundred
and fifty million dollars for their operation;
further, they would be allowed federal loans
to the extent of one hundred and twenty-five
million dollars for reconditioning the old
ships and for constructing new ones-this
on top of the sacrifice sale of the fleet for
only two hundred million dollars The prop
osition is well described in the minority re-
port Of the Democratic members of the House
committee on merchant marine as "being
tantamount to giving the ships away, and
then bestowing rewards totalling five hun
dred million dollars for their operation by
the owners"
These are but samples of the subsidy plan.
They witness plainly enough, however, to it's
over-indulgence Of privilege and it's disre-
gard Of the common interests. There is
nothing in the bill,'' states the minority re-
port, that promises cheaper ocean freight
rates or that provides for regulation of the
charges on business of these receivers of pub.
lie funds. There is, however, every reason to
believe that the measure intends the repeal
of certain sections of the federal antitrust
act on order that shipping interests may com
bine to enlarge and consolidate their present
monopoly" That America ought to main
tain and encourage a national merchant ma
rihe is unbeatable. But why not do so in
the interest of the common veal, rather
than for "privateers?' ;

EARLY SIGNS OF CANCER
BY H. Addington Bruce

~ ECAUSE of the increasing occurrence of
X cancer, and because of the well-estab-
- lished fact that, despite it's malignity,
cancer is a durable disease if detected in
good season, I would today enumerate some
of its commoner early signs.
These, of course, vary with the type of
cancer, and especially with the part of the
body which it has selected for attack. One
! would, for example, hardly expect cancer of
the breast and cancer Of the stomach to ex-
hlbit similar symptoms.
In the case of cancer of the breast, which
is largely responsible for the higher cancer
rate among women as compared with men,
slight but persistent swelling is usually the
first sign. The fact that it may be quite
painless should not in itself be deemed rea-
son for disregarding it. Most cancers are
painless in their first stages.
ANY woman who notices a lump in the
breast" to quote from an authoritative medi-
cal publication, Should at once consult a.
physician It is very much better to be told
that the lump is harmless than to wait too
oped into cancer"
With cancer of the stomach swelling is
not among the early indications. The sus-
p1c1ous signs in this instance are chronic
digestive disturbances and distress after eat
ing, particularly if accompanied by sallow-
ness OF the complexion, loss of weight, and
an increasing weakness.
constipation as one Of it's first signs The
bowel movements may have an unusually Of
fensive odor. Also there may be passage of
blood and abnormal matter such as slime or
mucous.
In women the uterus or womb is, next to
the stomach, the most frequent site of cancer.
Its first symptom, in the majority of cases.
IS an irregular, blood-tinged, watery dis
charge Or, in the case of women who have
not reached the menopause, there may be a.
persistent bleeding, continuing between the
menstrual periods.
Cancer of the skin, to which men are more
SUBJECT than women, usually begins as a lit
tie lump or scaling patch. Cancer of the lin
almost always appears first in the form of a
small painless surface sore, gradually en-
larglng. For that matter, a stubborn sore on
any part OF the body surface, sore which
refuses to heal, should be accounted possibly
pre-cancerous and as calling for medical OBJ
servation. y"
Finally, in the case of cancer of the tongue
tnfoat or nose, persistent raw snot on tha
tongue, chronic sense of discomfort in the
throat, with change of voice and difficulty
~ speaking, ana swelling in one side Of the
nose, are early symptoms :.

not hesitate to call upon you.l .
Unity of action can come, of course, only
from unity of purnose, and that purpose must
undeviatingly comprehend the good Of the
whole"
The proposed method for realizing these
unquestionably soma principles is that state
commissions shall. associate with the inter-
state commission in decisions upon matters
of mutual concern, while state commissions
shall issue all neetful orders on matters per-
tanning to service in their own several States.
The workableness of the plan can be de-
termined only through experience. There
is much of promise, however, in the approval
given it by minds broadly practiced in such
problems; and CO tainly> it's general purpoce
is most praiseworthy.

stead of being abolished as hasty heads were
proposing some seasons ago, .hould be rem

which each performs for it's particular COM

of the present proposals. May they be fruit
full of much good.

THE DIFFICULTY OF HELP
BY DR.. Frank Crane

One OF the HARDEST things in the world IN
do is to help anybody
Most Of us reflect with a tingo of bi++ou
ness over the attempts we have made to
give THIS person and that lift, and at the
outcome of 1t.
Even in the case of our children we are
dismayed at how little good our advice
seems to do and how little happiness our
more material assistance appears to produce.
And, indeed, the commonest way in which
we try to help anybody is by giving advice
needless to say it is about the most futile.
And there is a universal impulse when
any one speaks of an ailment to recommend
remedy. Everybody has a favorite medi-
cine or knows remarkable physician, or
perhaps has some infallible religious cult.
all OF which are sure cures and none of
which we can get anybody to believe.
1t is a wise man who learns early in life
that pills are things for' him to take him
self and not to offer to other people.
And then so much of the helping in this
world is done SO clumsily that it does more
harm than good. Yet the curious thing
about it is that everybody thinks he could
help lot if he had the wherewithal, and
that helping people is very easy.
The business man applies a lifetime of
training and energy to the business of maxi
ing d lu1lllOu uOlIdTSy anu LulnkS ne can give
away a million dollars without any training
or thought at all The result is that his
benevolence is, more often than not, dis
tinctly harmful.
The fact is that the only perfect giver is
God, and our giving is really helpful only
as it is Godlike You can make million
dollars by working like the devil, but you
cannot give it away except by working like
God.
One of the things that spoils giving is
intolerance.
$50 very few says a recent writer
"help the less fortunate on their way with
out examining their own religion, or their
own politics, or their own munificence
down their threats at the same time. They
cannot help others up without seeking to
brand them at the same time with their
own pet views and beliefs And then they
wonder why the poor will not be helped;
why they are suspicious and ungrateful."
There is indeed no place where we more
need tolerance and self control than in
helping our fellow men. And there is nc
place where our selfishness, egotism, mar
rowness and prejudice are more out of place
than when we set about being benevolent
Hurting people is simple. We come by
it naturally and anybody can do it. But
to help people you hope to be great, which
is whole lot harder than being good. For
goodness is largely matter of impulse
Greatness includes, not only impulse, but
intelligence, and, most of ALL humility,
which perhaps is about the scarcest thing
around the house

Perhaps, it is because men have better

sentiment sparingly, as you do sugar, to

A very little of it suffices, and he doesn't ask
for second helping.
The trouble is that W men forget that there
is nothing on earth which we cannot be

TOO MUCH SWEETN essay Dorothy Dix

Chicago woman is suing her husband
for divorce because he is too affectionate
and has made their whole married life a
perpetual honeymoon.
This is a strange case of unusual and in
human marital cruelty, for most men stop
their love making at the altar, and drop their
brides down on the prosaic realities Of do
nestle life with jolt that loosens their back
hair
We cannot but sympathize, however, with
the lady who found herself tied to a man
who never got over registering Romeo stuff,
and handing out soft talk.
One can Imagine how bored, she got having
her hand held when she wanted to be using
it to play golf, or trim a hat; and how she
must have felt like screaming when she was
asked for the mllionth time: "Do you really
truly love me? AID would you jes pine away
and die if I should die& And zoos booful
baby doll is 'oo?"
Anyway, let us hope that the sad fate of
this unfortunate wife will convey a solemn
warning to those melancholy, and morbid
married women who are always moaning
that their husbands have ceased to be lovers;
that they no longer hand out any sentimen-
tai flummery to them, and never bestoW upon
them any kiss sav9 t4at which bears the I'M
mistakable duty label, and that is just about

Gle as ginger beer is for champagne.
1t should teach them that they are mis-
taken in thinking that they could stand a
daily diet of lollypops. No matter how sweet
tooth woman las, an overdose of confec-
tionery is bound to cloy on her palate, and
upset her stomach, and make her turn
yearningly towards plain bread and butter,
One lump of suga in your tea flavors it, and
takes off the bitter taste. A dozen Jumps
t-rn it into sticky, gooe, nauseating drink
from which you urn in disgust.
So with love, or rather the manifestations
of love. We thrill to Our fingertips at the
rare kiss, surcharged with emotion, warm
with passion, filled with romance, but what
could be more loathsome than to be continual
ly slobbered over ny human kissing Bug?
Similarly, nothing is r7Ore precious than
the occasional word o. love that comes spon-
taneously bubbling up from the depths of the
heart, and that is called forth by some par
ticalar occasion, but who would not be sus
picious Of the affection that is always pro-
claiming itself aloud?
Of course, courtship, which is all billing,
and cooling, and kissing, and the honeymoon,
which is the hang over from the courtship,
and is also linked with sweetness long drawn
out, do not fall under this condemnation
They are mere sentimental interludes, mid
