THE NINTIETH BALLOT

SMITH IS STEADY.

Charging down on the McAdoo
lines with a new ferocity, the coalition

down to their lowest point.
Governor Smith, for the first time,
took the lead over Mr.. .lcAdoo and
reduced his opponent to point where
he lost his power OF one-third veto
over the selection OF candidate.
Then when the coalition forces were
riding on the crest of the wave, they
got an adjournment OF the convention
until tomorrow morning at lO:5O
o'clock
The convention actually adjourned
as a mark OF sympathy and respect
for President and Mrs Coolidge on
the death OF their son, but before the
news was received the managers OF
the coalition forces had planned the
adjournment at the high-water mark,
The smashing attack on the Nc
Adoo lines was accompanied with
raids Tor Ralston and for Glass. The
attackers took back trophies for each.
On the eighty ballot the

CANCER FATALITIES
ARE ON THE INCREASE
THE DEATH RATE IN TWENTY
THREE CITIES MORE THAN
1Os PER THOUSAND.

Frederick L. Hoffman, L. L. ID.
consulting statistician OF the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company OF America
says cancer death rate OF American
cities during 1928 reached the really
extraordinary figure of 1885 per 100
OOO. This rate is based upon popu-
Iation of 20,S29737 among whom
there occurred 22,6l6 deaths While
the rate for the country at large Is
somewhat less it is not likely to be
very materially modified by the adj
ditional returns which will be avail
able in course OF time through the
division OF vital statistics of the Unit
ed States census. In any event it is
a safe forecast that the present NOR
tally from cancer in the continental
United States is probably not far
from 10000.
Springfield, ILL.,, Holds Record.
The cancer death rate in % cities
with continuous record since 1906 has
increased persistently from AS per
cent per 100000 in 1906 to 1885 per
100000 at the present time. The re-
suits OF the present investigation in
detail in individual cities reveals
most disquieting condition affecting
the health and longevity OF the major
portion OF our adult population. 1t is
shown that in "a out OF y cities the
rate exceeds 100 per 100000, rate
which by any standard must be con-
sidered the extreme to which it has
been expected the rate would attain
in recent years. Out of the 81 cities
the highest cancer death rate was
reached in Springfield, Ill.,, or 1904
per 100000 This is followed by San
Francisco, Cal, with rate OF 1868
and Albany, N. Y, with rate of $50.
The five cities next in the order OF
importance are Boston. with rate OF
1888; Providence, r. L. 1343; Gin
cinnati, o., 1914; Los Angeles, Cal,
1905, and Spokane, Wash, 1908
Relatively low rates from cancer
were experienced in Norfolk, Va,
WUtlG llC IdlG Nd> ~, Oll,
Mich, GA, and Dayton, o. 74.3
For certain cities, which Tor the
time being, have been omitted, the
evidence OF an excessive cancer NOR
tality is clearly suggestive. OF par
ticular interest is the high death rate
for San Diego, Cal, which, during
1928 reached the truly startling pro-
portion of 175.5. This is based upon
a population OF 87,172. among whom
there occurred l53 deaths. Certain
smaller communities, such as Concord,
n H., show also startling indications
of an excessive occurrence OF cancer
Gus affections. For Concord, Tor 1928
the death rate was 1872. Another To-
cality with high relative death rate
is Newport, R. =, where among a
population OF 1851 there occurred 43
