The little leagues made a fine fight
in 1923 and none of them gave up
the battle. In that respect base ball

The leading batsman of the Amer

Where ContendeTs Were Weak.
In team work both New York clubs
were superior. The weakness of the
Cleveland club in the pitching box
was the severest factor against them.
Detriot had a weak spot on the In
field. There was q hole around sec

COUNTY ASKS FOR
MORE FEDERAL AID
COMMISSIONERS WANT TO
CONSTRUCT NORTHERN LINK
FLORIDA SHORT ROUTE.

The county commissioners have
made application to the state highway
department for federal aid on the
northern link of the Florida Short
Route highway in Terrell county, from
Dawson to the Webster county line
through the town of Parrott. The. dis
lance is II miles.
This project was adopted by the
highway department two years or
more ago, and the southern link from
Dawson to the Dougherty county line
was completed about year ago.
If aid is granted it is proposed to
spend 100000, or $4,000 mile, in the
construction of the road, of which
$4,000 will be borne by the county
and $4,000 will be appropriated from
the federal aid fund. From this amount
will be taken the cost of supervising,
engineer and other expenses OF the
state highway department.
The Florida Short Route is travelled
by large numbers of tourists coming
from and returning to the northwest.

INCREASE OF DEATHS
FROM CANCER In III
OFFICIAL FIGURES REPORT
THAT $4,000 WERE KILLED
BY MALADY IN ONE YEAR.

The American Society for the Con-
troll OF Cancer have made public
statement by DR.. Howard G. Taylor,
chairman OF its executive committee,
and DIR. Francis Carter Wood, OF its
advisory council, touching upon re-
cent report OF the department. OF COM
merce. based on returns compiled by
the bureau of census, which shows
that the total deaths from cancer in
the United States during 1921 was
$4,000 or 1000 more than in 1920.
They considered the report not at all
discouraging.
at is certain" say these authori-
ties. that the census bureaus figures
are considerably below the actual
number OF deaths from cancer, Tor it
has been shown that where post-mor-
tenn examinations are done on all per-
sons a large number of unsupported
cases of cancer are discovered. There
fore as the rate rises it does not mean
that any more people are dying OF
cancer, but merely that we know more
accurately of what they are dying.
In comparing the death rate from
cancer in one state with the death rate
from the same disease in another state
the bureau uses adjusted rates in
order to make allowance for the differ
ence in age and sex distribution OF
the population. The reason for this IS
that generally speaking only persons
in middle life and old age have cancer,
so that a state with many old resi-
dents may be expected to have more
deaths from the disease than a state
with comparatively few old persons.
Summarizing briefly" says DR..
Tavlor and Dr. Wood, the adjusted
rates show that the northern states
have comparatively high and that the
southern states comparatively low
cancer mortality and that there is hit
tie difference between the adjusted
cancer rates-of the white and the col
ored races of the same states. In 9TH
er words, the white and coloTed races
seem equally susceptible to cancer
but both races seem less susceptible
to cancer than in the north, though
this too may be more apparent than
real, due largely to a difference in the
accuracy OF diagnosis and OF the reg
istration OF deaths. These figures
from so authoritative a source offer
incontestable proof of the effective
ness OF the campaigns which have
been conducted by the American So
ciety for the Control of Cancer"
The highest adjusted" cancer rate
for 1927 IS 900 in 100000 OF the pop
ulation for the state OF Massachusetts,. |
and the lowest is 40 for the state OF
South Carolina.
