PROGRESS MADE TOWARD
THE CURING OF CANCER

became imperative and that the
cells grew wild as result.
The other view was that cancer
was the result of a germ so small
that ordinary methods failed to de-
tect its presence or it's method of
functioning. The work of Gye and
Barnard tends to prove that this is
the correct view.
They worked with a cancer found
in chickens which was first investi-
gated by DIR. Rous and known as a
result as the Rous chicken sarcoma.
DR.. Rous proved that this cancer was
caused by a virus which could be
separated from the tissues of the
cancer. But he was not able to cul-
tivate or grow the virus in test tubes
as can be done with other germs, nor
could he see the germs under a
microscope.
eye and Barnard have been able
TO do these things. DR.. Gye has
succeeded in growing the virus in
test tube, transferring a little to
new test tube and growing new
quantity and keeping this process up
for nine or ten times. Injection of
virus from tire last test tube will
cause cancer IN healthy chickens.
DIR. Barnard with the aid Of a spe-
cial ultra-microscope which makes
use of ultraviolet light and therefore
shows objects smaller than can be
seen with ordinary microscopes, has
been able to see the organism in the
virus and to watch it multiply.
The organisms appear like tiny
glistening globules. After a short
time they swell up. Little patches
appear on them, which separate of,
forming new globules. In this way.
the germs grow in numbers.

the wreck Of their pay envelopes.
-Four per cent interest doesn't
sound enticing to man who has
few hundred dollars to invest,
from which he hopes to get dich.
1t takes a long time at that rate
for a few dollars invested to lift a
man from the f1ivver to the Rolls
Royce class.
So most men try to get in on
the ground floor of something like
Ford Motor or a Florida real es-
tate boom, and jerk themselves
from poverty to plutocracy on a
shoestring. The get-rich-quick and
blue-sky promoters consequently
never lack customers.
Sometimes, of course, a miracle
does happen and a nickel is run
into a million dollars. But not
often.
1t Is significant that those who
have money are the greatest low
ers of low-interest bonds. They
seek security of investment, not a
gamble. Perhaps that's the rea-
son they have money. The old
per cent road is slow and plod-
ding, but those who travel it don't
get shooting pains in their bank
accounts.

tariff on straw hats, he may be offering an ex-
ample of something else.
There is now 90 per cent duty on straw
hats. American straw hat makers want this
increased to 100 per cent, if possible, or to so
per cent at least Remembering what you paid
for the hat which you dutifully threw away the
other day, preparatory to buying another next
spring, you will be surprised To learn that
American hat manufacturers are telling the
President they need more protection You will
be even more surprised to learn that in Wash
ington it is believed the President is not I'M
sympathetic to their plea.
What the hat manufacturers are saying is
that they cannot compete with European hat
makers unless tax equal to the cost of each
hat is placed on it when it reaches this country
They cannot compete with So hat from Italy
unless So tax is placed on it, making it a 81
hat, they say
If the manufacturers get away with this
the poor benighted hat wearer had better make
up his mind not only to wear his straw hat as
early and as late as the weather dictates, but
to quit throwing it away at the ball game and
to lay it away for use in more than one sum-
mer. The price will make this necessary.

Political Office

NHAYORS, Governors and Senators are
IVY cheap. We refuse to pay them salaries
comparable to what business pays for like re-
sponsibilities.
The people, so the politicians think, would
object.
But electing these officials is not cheap at
all. 1t cost $88,668 not to nominate Hylan for
mayor Of New York
What it will cost for the successful candi-
date, for both primary and election, is not yet
known, but it will be many times the salary of
the office
What the people will not pay out of the
taxes somebody has to pay, either cut of pure
patriotism, or in hope of favors to be received.
In the case of President the cost is reck-
oned by millions. Measured by what some
body puts up for them, these offices are worth
vast sums.
Measured by what the people are willing
to pay directly, they are worth very little.
Somebody's estimate is wrong.

Important progress is being made.
But it should be remembered that
cancer is "a long way from being

The recent work of DR.. w. Z. Gye

that this work in no way constitutes

Their work represents an .impor-

Together with some important work

as TO the cause Of cancer.
Up to the present time there have
been two conflicting theories about
the origin of cancer.
One view was that no germ played
part in cancer, the cancer result

The South and West

Tiny unbiased person must agree W 18th SEN
iiAl ator Underwood Of Alabama that the
South and West should be given fair and
just'' representation the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
About half the present eleven members of
the commission come from the congested East,
from New York, Massachusetts,, New Jersey,
Indiana, Kentucky and the District of Column
bia The Northwest is also we'll represented
with members from Oregon and Washington
State Wisconsin has two members. The re-
naming man comes from Colorado.
The great empire stretching south of
Washington, D. c., and westward to the Pa
cifc Ocean is thus almost without any word in
the very commission which of all Federal COM
missions has the future of the region in the
hollow of it's hand
The South and West are still crying for
development. Even as the progress of the East
once depended on railroad ties and steel track
so the progress Of the South and West depends
now.
Senator Underwood in speaking before
the American Bankers Association in Atlantic
City, put the matter mildly when he suggested
that call men s environment, to greater or
lesser extent, affects their Judgment
He could have added that it is totally i'm
possible for men from the congested East, or
from the rich farming country Of the middle
West, ever really to understand the problems
Of the South and West.
