GENEVA. May 23-The American
proposal that traffic in poison gas be
prohibited struck a stumbling block
today in the legal committee of the
international conference for the con-
troll of the traffic in arms, the COM
mittee reporting itself unable to reach
an agreement. 1t asked the full con-
ference to decide the question for

prehensions of the non-manufacturing
states. which felt they would be at a
terrible disadvantage IL they did not
possess gases.
The conference finished the first
reading of the proposed convention.

WHY ARIZONA REPORT

Arizona has got into the news by

before any other creature even re.
motely resembling man lived, and
long before either the vegetable or
animal foods or the climatic condi-

If man lived with the dinosaurs,
he lived when there was no other
creature on earth that sucked its
young; when there was no mammal
as high as the opossum, wien the
trees did not bear fruit nor the
earth yield grass and grain; when
the most primitive forms Ct wha.

creature on earth as 5utelligent as

He has lived unchanged through
ages during which every other form
Of life then extanr became extinct

unrecognizably difterer.t.
During all those ages, he is the
only from of life that never improv-

While the intelligence of the
world has improved from that Of the
frog to that of the dog and Chin

z DIT RIAL $

The American Society for the
Control OF Cancer issues a state
ment that the knowledge already
possessed about cancer, if people
would only use it,, would save thou
sands of lives now sacrificed.
This does not mean that any new
cancer cure has been discovered
or is definitely in sight.
1t doe snot mean that there is
any medical evidence for the new
est, mueh-exploited lay theory that
cancer is caused by the "auto-intox-
ication" of too much meat and con-
centrated modern food.
1t does mean that the cancer
quack who advertises to "save" you
from the imaginary horrors of ''the
knife" is a murderer.
1t means that the avoidance of
certain definite sorts of irritation
will lessen the likelihood o. cancer.
And it means, especially, that
physicians can now recognize can
Ger early; that you should go to
them early, on any suspicious indi-
cation, and that not shrinking from
operation" but early seeking it,
is the cure-with the emphasis on
"early," and again "early."
The "horror Of the knife" is a
mere tradition, from the days when
it really was a horror.
Now it is a mercy.

The Local Newspaper

A good local newspaper
makes a good local community,
in the opinion Of the Spokane
Spokesman-Review, one of the
great papers of the Far West,
which says:
1.-THE well-edited paper is a dis
tinct advantage to its community
and serves a need that win al
ways exist. It prints the current
news of the community and, with
a capable editor, it becomes a
real factor in the upbuilding of
the community. 1t can and does
accomplish much for the common
veal. 1t reflects the character Of
the community itself. 1t aids ma
terially in the direction and as
sistance of all community devel-
opment, both industrial and cdu-
cational. 1t could not survive
one year if no need existed or it
failed to fill the wants"
IF no need existed, it should
not exist more than a year; if
the daily paper fails to accomp-
hsh something for the commune
ty it has no right to live; unless
It's editorial policy is free and
fearless, the daily paper becomes
nothing more nor less than an
empty sound. It's readers may
not always agree with its edi-
torial preachments, but that is
only human and as it should be.
No two minds ever agree on
ALL subjects.
