Garry On Against Cancer.

Sone of Americas medical
journals seem bent on doing surpris-
ing things. Not so long ago one of
them vieiously attacked the trained
nurse. More recently another
comes out with a leading article
denying the value of an educational
campaign against cancer. It does
not think that such a campaign viii
diminish the number of cancers that
arise in the human body or the
number of inoperable cases. In
other words, a man who has a lump
in his body or an abrasion that will
not heal, and who is not thoroughly
alive to the dangers it may present,
it not to be warned of this menace.
We had not thought that such a
view would be voiced by any part of
the medical profession Fortunate
ly there is the testimony of earnest
workers against cancer to combat it.
DR.. Joseph Colt Bloodgood says that
in the first 10 years of his ex-
perience at Johns Hopkins hospital
only six women with cancer of the
breast came to him in the early
stages of the disease. In 1920
women had learned to come at the
first sign of diseased tissue. AL
most so per cent needed no medical
treatment Of the remaining so
per cent afflicted with definite
humps, one-half did not have cancer.
OF those who did havoc over two
thirds had sought advice early
enough that their chances of re-
covery through safe surgery were
over 70 per cent.
1t is that kind of response by the

Baseball Eollows the FLAG.

Baseball follows the flag. Wherever
the United States marines have been
stationed abroad the lure Of the Ameri-
can national game has spread like
wildfire
In China, the Philippines, the West
indies, and elsewhere native teams
have been organized Some Of them
play remarkably. The FilipinOs are
experts. The Chinese and japanese
play the game well up to professional
standards. and the natives of Near
aqua threw their national pastime Of
cockfighting into the discard after they
saw the game played by United States
marines who had landed In that coun-
try In 1912 to suppress a revolution.

JAPANESE ARE GOOD, FLYERS
Head of British Air Mission Is Of
Opinion That They Positively
Have No Nerves.

A rather curious report current two
or three years ago with reference to
Japanese aviation is recalled by an in
teryiew in London with the Master of
Sempill, who has just returned after
spending many months as head of the
British air mission to Japan. The
suggestion was that Japanese could
not be made into good airmen because
of something In their early upbringing,
one point being that because they
were carried pick-a-back In infancy
they had somehow lost their sense of
equilibrium. In support Of this it was
pointed out that many accidents had
happened in Japan, and even today 1t
Is conceded that they have produced
no outstanding flyers.
The statement. however that they
do not make good airmen is dlsproved
by the Master of Semplll, who de-
scribes them as pupils leaving little
to be desired and the standard
achieved by pilots throughout the
naval air force as being very high.
In fact, one report Of the interview
credits him with the statement that
1t is higher than In the British naval
air force. The Japanese are said to
be ready to try anything and TO have
no trace of nerves All this makes a
very different story from that which
became common property shortly after
the armistice, and there seems now no
doubt that hypothesis odtran facts

Newspaper Editing.

The sort of newspaper that
would be published if everybody
edited it would be something won
derful, but noting that anybody
would subscribe for. The news
paper business is perhaps the most
competitive of any in existence.
People who make up newspapers
must have the mass of the people in
mind every moment No news
paper can live by catering to a
chosen few.
There is not in any community
enough business to support a
newspaper designed especially for
what are slangly called the high
brows The highbrows are a
vague class, but are commonly sup
posed to be the type of citizens ex-
cept one concerning things that
would be discussed in a faculty, or a
symposium of the higher clergy.
No daily newspaper made to fit a
clientele of intellectuals or near-in-
tellectuals could subsist on what
the intellectuals would be willing to
pay.
A new author made himself un-
popular some time ago by saying
that as far as he had observed most
of the criticisms Of his book had
come from that class of readers who
never buy books, but are keen for
borrowing them and picking them to
pieces 1t might be said of some Of
those who are severest in the CON
demnation of the newspaper that
