through the tumor, are broken off and

Sarcoma occurs in the jaws, around
the joints, and in the long bones. A
very careful study is necessary to make
a diagnosis, but once it is made ex-

used in the treatment.

CRIME REPORT SHOWS BIG
INCREASE IN NTOXICATION

ALBANY. N. Y.-The annual crime
report, made public here today. by
James A. Hamilton, secretary of state,
shows big jump in intoxication cas-
es. In 1923 there were 1901 convic-
tons for intoxication, as against TO-
900 the previous year. There was a
heavy increase in criminal cases gen
orally. In 1923 almost 10000 more
persons were convicted for criminal
offenses than in. 1922. The total was
61,169, including 1928 women, while
in 1922 the number of convictions was
43,763, including 2,787 women.
The convictions for misdemeanors
totaled 37,702, compared with rs, l8l
in 1922.

SHALL ALL AMERICA
BE FINGER PRINTED?
YOUNGEST MEMBER OF CON-
GREsS INTRODUCES BILL.
INFANTS INCLUDED.

Another ingenious suggestion for
adding to the harness OF legislative
red tape now worn by the American
citizens is found on the calendar OF
congress by Representative Clarence
!. Mcleod, of Detroit, the youngest
member of the house.
This bill proposes to make it obllga--
tory that every person IN the United
States shall be hnger-printed includ-
ing infants within one month of their
birth. that the records shall be kept
by a bureau of Identification to be es-
tablished at Washington to carry on
this work
The argument is that apprehension
of criminals would be vastly facilitated
if such comprehensive records were
available to the police; that there
would be no 10000 to $4,000 unidenti-
fed dead each year in the United
States. as at present; that absolute
and permanent birth records would
be established; that getting babies
mixed" at hospitals would be avoided,
and that lost, runaway or abandoned
children could be identified.
There is no likelihood that the bill
will be enacted, and it is perhaps
equally unlikely that it could stand
the test of constitutionality if it should
be; but, if it were in effect, imagine
the job of gathering, classifying and
scrutinizing the 100,000,000 or so of
fnger-prints that would go into the
custody of Uncle Sans proposed new
bureau!
To set this bureau up efficiently and
keep it going in the same way it
would seem necessary that it should
have an army of expert employees
about as large as the present army of
the unidentified.
Without constitutional amend
ment the only way of establishing
complete fnger-print records would
be to induce each of the states and
the District of Columbia to adopt the
system-and the same system. The
general assembly of Virginia might
we'll prefer such proposition to the
measure which is now before it to re-
quire all persons in the state to reg
ister according to their racial descent,
in order that there may be no danger
of miscegenation. 1t has been estimat-
ed that if that measure were enacted
the registrars would collect 100000
in fees.

What Public Should Know About Cancer
Prepared for Publication by the
citation OF Georgia and the Georgia Division Society
of

In the previous communications we
have spoken of cancers as occurring
in those of mature life and old age,
but there is form that attacks even
young children and babies; in fact, it
may be present in a baby at birth.
This form of cancer is known as
"sarcoma."
1t arises in certain organs of the
body more often than in others. Some
times it is found in or between the
muscles and in the bones and joints.
The lymph glands may be primarily
involved. There are many varieties of
sarcoma: some are much more malig-
nant than others; some grow very rap
idly and yield to no treatment; others
grow slowly and do not recur when
removed.
Sarcoma spreads from the primary

DHILIP NJ. JULIEN was selected as archi-

New York and Vancouver, B. c., attest to his
genius in this respect.
After years of study and experience a>

New York City. Observing that although many
buildings there were planned with beautiful
exteriors, little thought was given to interior
ornamentation, Mr. julien took up and began
specializing on that branch of architecture.
For the past fifteen years he has concentrated

~ Club signalizcd the surprising reallza-
ton of dream by four members of Congress
three years ago.
The idea of establishing club for members
of Congress- high government officials and
prominent men of achievement in the various
professions. was originated in 1921 by group
of Solons composed of Representative X.
Clinton Cole of Indiana; Representative Oscar
f. Bland now Judge in the Customs Court OF
AnpeaIS: Congressman O. r. Luhring, of In
diana, and the late Congressman Hal Flood,
of Virginia.
They had vision of clubhouse located
within motoring distance of Washington, to
cost about 100000 With these tentative
IDEAS in mind they commissioned Robert Il.
Evans. who had achieved great success in
club organization in the West. to organize
the Congressional Country Club.
Mr. Evans was born in Indiana and spent

served as captain of infantry IN the Fight

Mr. Evans engaged in the brokerage business
in New York City and later went to Chicago,
where he attained distinction an organizer
and founder of social clubs in both town and
country.
When the group of congressman SlIetcEed
their trntativr plans calling for 100000 to
Mr. Evans, they did So with some heSitancy,

However. when Mr.. Evans actively assumed
charge of the organization he was Immediately
impressed with the fact that such club
would meet Il genuine need In the National
Capital and that the founders had been en-
trpl\ too modest in their estimation of the
proposition. From the outset Mr.. Evans met
with the heartipSt response and warmest
operation from Washington s most diStin-
guiShed men and nationally known personages,
statesmen soldiers capitalists and political
leaders of all perSuasionS.
The result was that plans were laid out for
