Hope for a Cancer Cure.

Close upon the statement of DIR. w.
j. Mayo, the eminent American sur
geon, that no cure for cancer has yet
been found, comes the announcement
of a trial in New York of a treatment
by X-rays of this disease which, it is
hoped, will lead to the conquest Of this
terrible disease. By means of a new
device, which concentrates the rays
directly upon the affected tissues, a
patient has been subjected to fifty-six
hours of practically constant ex-
posure to rays produced by an electric
current Of 250.000 volts. Heretofore a
current Of only three-fifths of this
power has been used for a maximum
of 100 minutes. The theory of the
treatment is that the X-rays kill the
cancerous cells and leave the healthy
ones unharmed.
Several weeks will be necessary to
determine whether this treatment is
successful. If this patient emerges
from the experience with a marked
Improvement which persists there will
be reason to hope that a great ad-
vance has been made toward the solu-
tion of this problem, which has 80
long baff1ed researchers in the science
of cure.

Uncle Sans Borders.

Uncle Sam certainly has hard time
protecting his borders against SNUG
glcrs of divers and sundry kinds,
cotic to the escurting of a bunch of
aliens seeking unlawful entry into the
country. Everybody, of course. is
aware of the inflow of Illicit liquors
and the seeming impoSsibility of pre-
venting practically wholesale trade
between Canada and the Bahamas
with the United States.
Now comes the statement that
President Harding feels he will be
compelled to appeal to Congress to
help the government erect stronger
barriers against the smuggling of
aliens into the country. The immigra-
ton law, which fixes a quota for the
entry of immigrants through the usual
ports and in a lawful way, does not
lffurd a quota enough to accommodate
all who would like to come to the
land of prosperity and promise. Trou
hle is also experienced in keeping out
Asiatics who are barred. and who can
only enter by being smuggled in. Sec
retary Davis estimates that in New
York alone there are 5000 Chinese
who ought 10 he deported, if they
could be rounded up, and that it would
take a million dollars to get them out
of the country.
Secretary Davis is reported as hold
ing a gloomy outlook on the preven-
ton of smuggling aliens into the coun-
try. He thinks that the whole United
States Army and Navy would be un-
able, if employed at the task, to make
the border absolutely closed. His plan,
which has Endorsement of the admin
istration, is the passage of law COM
pelling the enrolment of aliens, and
checking up on smuggled immigran nts
in that way.
Congress will have to deal with the
subject at the next session, for exist
ing conditions area shame and a dis
grace. They make Uncle Sam look
foolish in his inability to keep his own
door closed against Objectionable in
truders.

Pugilism as a Big Business.

Prize fighting has got to be a big
business, involving immense sums.
Professional pugilism is financed, just
like an industry. 1t is no longer a
game for any man to undertake, for
it must be organized and promoted
like railroad or a steel plant. Here is
the case Of Champion Dempsey, who
recently won big pot of coin by sue
cessfully defending his title against
the Frenchman, Carpenter. His
managers have since then been trying
to arrange a match for him, but it is
hard to find anybody who is competent
to stand up against him, and harder
still to get a guarantee of expenses.
A few weeks ago a series of matches
came off in New York, conducted for
the benefit of free milk fund, and
some promising material was de-
veloped for possible future engage
ments with the big pug" Meanwhile
enterprising westerners undertook to
stage a match between Dempsey and
an aspirant named Gibbons, to be
fought at Shelby, Mont, on the 4th
of July. Dempsey's managers demand
ed guarantee of 100000, of which
$4,000 was paid at once. Now the
time has come for the second install
ment on this tidy little sum, but the
day of payment has passed, and at
latest reports there is but 81, 500 in
the treasury of the western pro-
moters. So there is a question whether
the Montana match will take place.
This leaves the Dempsey headquar-
ters in a sore state of mind, because
there is now no opportunity TO fix up
match anywhere else for the big
day, so Dempsey may have to be con-
tent with his paltry $4,000 for doing
nothing, assuming that the amount
already paid will be forfeited. Truly
the prize pugilist's life is hard one.

things are said in meetings OF den
lists, lawyers, psychologists and even
in meetings of physicians, and often
these strange things are sent out to
newspapers. They are sent out be-
cause they ere strange, and for that
reason are supposed to be the more
interesting. 1t is most likely that IN
this convention of dentists some man
spoke of the influence of the color Of
his office walls on the mental attitude
of his patients. Perhaps some patient
suggested it to him. No doubt he said
that his observations were that his
patients seemed to suffer less pain
since he had the walls of his operat-
ing room changed from red to blue or
to .onyx-hue." 1t is probable that
1899 Of the 1000 dentists in the con-
vention listened politely, let it go at
that and did not believe a word of it.
There is also the statement that
dentists have gone in for psychology.
Many men who minister to their sick
and ailing fellows have already gone
in for psychology, if by that is meant
trying to keep the patient in good
spirits and to keep him from brooding
on his troubles,
Remarkable progress has been made
in dentistry within ten years, and no
doubt progress is still being made. So
much progress has been made in the
matter of local anesthesia that den
lists skillful and well practiced in the
use of anesthetics can generally
make extractions without pain to the
patient.
1t is not likely that dentists are go
ing to turn aside from the means at
hand and from course which prom
ises much progress as the years go by
to take up color schemes of interior
decoration as a means of anesthetizing
patients. 1t is conceivable that some
color schemes might be devised which
would produce general anesthesia in
a sensitive patient, but it is possible
that the patient might never ''come

Colors for Killing Pain.

A dispatch from San Francisco says
that "the extraction of tooth does
not hurt so much if the interior of the
dentists office is onxy-hued." 1t was a
bit of caution which prompted the
writer of that dispatch to set it down
that the extraction does not hurt SO
much. If he had been very careless
fellow he might have said that the ex-
traction of a tooth does not hurt at all
if the interior of the dentists office is
cnyx-hued. The dispatch went on to
say that Members of the California
State Dentists Association. 1000
strong, in convention here, say that
soothing colors have supplanted
laughing gas. and that dangerous
drugs and pain-killers are passe." 1t
is also said that the dentists have

German Psychology Again.

German psychology, which through
its faulty processes played such an
important part in the loss of the
great war for that country, is at work
again, in the Ruhr. In addition to the
policy of passive resistance against
the French occupation of that area
the Germans are conducting cam
paign of secret assassination and
sabotage. Friday a train was derailed
by bomb placed on the track and
one French soldier was killed and sew
eral passengers We're injured. Recent
~ similar outrage was penetrated
in another section Of the occupied ter
French authorities that these attempts
are being directed by definite organi-
zation and under one leadership.
Nothing can be more surely calcu.
lated to strengthen the French deter
mination to hold on to the Ruhr. pend
ing satisfactory settlements on the
reparations account, than such efforts
to take toll in lives from the occupy
ing forces. This series of crimes may
not he directed from Berlin, but they
are quite surely known to the German
government. Heretofore when resist
ance has been manifested to the
French occupation the German au-
thoritieS have declared that they could
not be held responsible for the natural
efforts Of the people to prevent the
seizure of their land. Disclaimers
have also been entered on the point of
responsibility of the government for
the strikes although the Berlin gov
ernment has undertaken to maintain
''idleneSS payments" To the former
workers of the Ruhr. which has been
regarded by France as a virtual con-
fession of completely in the strikes.
Every French soldier who falls in
the course of the Ruhr occupation is
likely to strengthen the determination
of the Paris government to adhere to
the present policy. France cannot he
frightened off by few derailments
and occasional sniping assassinations,
and persistence in this course of con
duct is calculated to make for per-
sistence on the part of the French. 1t
seems impossible to teach the Ger
man mind the lessons that were so
glaringly demonstrated throughout
the course of the war.

The Building Cost Crisis.

The New York building situation
has reached a stage of crisis. The
governors of the Building Trades En-
ployerS' Association, now considering
matters affecting the wage scales and
other issues, has adjourned until We'd
nesday, at which time it will decide
definitely on course of action. Three
possibilities present themselves; a
general lockout of lis, 900 workers and
the virtual suspension of $500, 900, 900
worth of construction; compromise
on the demands of the bricklayers,
who ask $12 a day as a basic wage
and two-year contract; or complete
surrender to the union demands. The
matter is complicated by the fact that
the mayors special committee Of the
board Of estimates has practically
compelled the contractors who are
erecting school buildings to agree to
the union demand, with the additional
condition that they will give the me-
chanics steady employment except
when circumstances arise beyond
their control. On their side the brick
layers agree TO man the schools to the
required number. 1t is now to be seen
what effect this settlement on the
school contracts will have on the de-
cision of the general contractors,
either TO declare a shutdown or a
$12-a day demand.
A complete stoppage of all construc-
tion work in New York would, as
stated, involve throwing into idleness
about 115,000 workers, and would
check projects of a cost estimated at
half billion dollars. The total loss of
such a shutdown cannot be computed,
because all these buildings are needed
for business and housing purposes,
and delay in their construction means
users.
The conditions in New York are per-
haps more acute than other cities. but
the strain in the cost of building is
being felt everywhere. Numerous and
important construction works are
being held up all over the country, not
for lack of capital or workers or ma
terial, but because Of the fear that
building investments made at the pres
ent scale of costs will later not yield
an adequate return in use or lease or
sale. In some cities only imperatively
needed buildings are now under con-
struction.
II building costs fall, say two or
three years later, the structures erect
ed during this period Of high cost will
represent a certain loss in returns.
Buildings erected in less expensive
conditions will have a marked advan-
tage over those constructed during
this present period as money makers
or investments. Should the New
York employing builders decide upon
a complete shutdown the labor thrown
into idleness in that city may flow
elsewhere, perhaps to affect the mar
ket in general and possibly to cause a
lowering of wage costs, or at least a
check on the constant demands for
increases.
