10000 DIE OF CANCER
Victims Can Re Saved New York
Doctor Declares


Doctor Declares
NEW YORK, May 23.--Cancer
claimed 10000 victims in the United
States last year and 10000 more will
die within the next two years all of
whom might have been saved or at
least had the course of their disease
mitigated by prompt diagnosis and
expert treatment. according to DIR.
Francis Carter Wood of the Crocker
Cancer Research laboratory, who to-
day addressed the state medical So
ciety
Relief from cancer, he said, must
come first from awakening the public
to the dangers of the disease by
means of the publicity work of the
American Society of the Control Ct
Cancer
Then, DR.. Wood said, family ply
sicians must make early diagnosis
and submit their cases Immediately
to competent surgeons who, in their
turn, must do all in their power by
operating.
The last step, he continued is
transfer of the patient to the special
list in X-ray and radium treatment
In radio therapy, he said. the X-ray
is the cheaper treatmentsNa
both methods have special merits in
varying cases.
DR.. Wood pointed out that dieting
cannot influence the course of can
Ger and that only operating or radio
therapy can do SO.

EMF ORCEMENT Of
LIQUOR RUL. mi IS
STILL UNDECIDED
Officials Seeking To Prevent
Complications With
Foreign Powers

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Goyern-
ment officials, charged with drafting
new regulations under the supreme
court decision barring liquor from
domestic and foreign ships in Amer
lean territorial waters, laid their
troubles before Secretary Mellon late
today after another effort to bring
the court ruling into harmony with
foreign laws. Comment was refused
as to the results of the latest effort
and the conference with the secre-
tary, but indications were given that
postpone of the effective date of
the regulations, now set as June 10,
had been recommended to Mr. Mellon.
AS the situation stood tonight, it
appeared that the officials, headed
by Assistant Secretary Moss of the
treasury and Commissioner Blair OF
the internal revenue bureau, had
given up hope of writing around
the courts finding so that there
would be no conflict between the
American prohibition law and for
eign statues compelling ships of
their nationals to carry liquor as
crew rations.
Lay Matter Before Harding.
1t was regarded as certain as a
result of the days development that
the situation would be put up to
President Harding. Such step
probably will be held in allegiance
for several days, however, so that
Mr.. Mellon may have time to go into
all details of the problem presented.
The belief that postponement of
the effective date had been urged on
MIR. Mellon was supported by the
known attitude of some of his adj
VlserS who have contended strongly
against making only part of the reg
ulationS effective at A time. one
treasury spokesman, described as
futile any effort to apply part of the
law and withhold the remainder, de-
claring that the teeth" of the court
decision were contained in the part
applying to ships stores.
Deny Formal Protest.
Denial was made that any formal
protest had come from foreign gov
ernments. but it was admitted the
government had knowledge that
every move the treasury WAS making
with respect to application of the
three mile ban wax being closely
watched by foreign capitals. 1t vas
said that thus rar there had been
every indication by foreign govern
ments of a desire to cooperate, but
there yet remained to be reekoned
with the foreign laws requiring that
crew rations be carried.
The impression was given that the
regulations as applying to all other
phases of the laws new construction
had been worked out tentatively.

IS NIGHT MARE To
OTHER AsP|RANTS
Auto Manufacturers Boom
Taken Seriously BY Wash
ington Observers
WASHINGTON BUREAU
THE AGE-HERALD
Washington, ID. c.. Nay %

There is general admission in
Washington that Henry Ford makes
unpleasant the dreams of all those
who are ambitious to serve az Pres
ident of. the United States following
the term of Warren G. Harding.
This anguish is not confined to
democrats. Republicans have two
reasons to fear Ford. In the first
place, it is known that he may enter
the presidential primaries of both
parties just as he tried for both the
democratic and republican nomina-
lions for senator from Michigan, with
the result that he would demonstrate
strength and might precipitate an in
dependent party organization In
the second place, republicans fear
that Ford might acquire the demo-
cratic nomination and make certain
the loss to republicans of the radi-
cal northwest.
There are indications, further, that
Ford is more concerned with pres
iGential prospects than he formerly
was. In the beginning, it is pointed
out, he dismissed the suggestion with
a wave of his hand. He declared that
his work was important is that of
the President. AT the same time,
Mrs Ford declared that irrespective
of what her husband did, she would
never enter the White House. Now.
however, Ford declares Wall street
and the plutocrats in general would
never permit him to be President.
This statement is regarded as calcu-
lated to inspire his friends with even
keener ardor to carry out their de-
termination to make him President
despite Wall street.

There are more churches dedicated
to st. Peter than to any other saint.
But there has never been a Pope
Peter! The custom, according to which
Popes change their Christian names on
their elevation, was introduced in A..
d. 1884 by Peter di Porca. He felt
that 1t would be presumptuous to have
himself styled Peter the Second. so he
took the name Of Sergius the Second.
Following In the same line OF senti.

Marshall Is the Sixth to

Official Records Snow County to Have
More Than ESQ Acres Over Re-

Marshall last week became the
sixth county in Minnesota to obtain
its quota in the campaign to organize

Marshall already has 1851 acres un-

the quota of 1896.
The Marshall campaign has been
under the direction of F. A. Green

mittee and chairman of the county
committee.
A remarkable feature of the Mar
shall drive is that it has been put
across for about 81 a contract, the
lowest cost in the campaign thus far.
Nearly $50 Marshall county farmers
have signed the agreement, the aver
age acreage being and a fraction.
Steady progress is being made by
the organization force in all parts of
the state, according to S. G. Rub

near their quota and it is expected
that this week will see the number
reaching the goal of SO per cent of
