CANCER GERM INCUBATION AS
TEST ACT.

London, Jan. 12.-Great admiration
was expressed at the self.sacriice and
heroism shown by the British scientists
who have been nOcculated with living
cancer germs to make further tests of
the results of research by Dir. w. E. Gye
and MIR. j. E. B%arnyard.
As soon as the point was reached that
tests on the human frame were neces-
sary, workers in several laboratories
inoculated each other rather than submit
others to unknown hazards.
But as one Of those engaged in the
work said, among research workers such
an action is taken as a matter of routine,
however perilous it may appear to the
general public.
So far as the scientists themselves can
ensure secrecy, 20 one will know the
names of those inoculated.
Throughout the world repetitions of
DIR. eyes fundamental experiments are
being made, including trials in laborato-
ries in the United States, the Argentine,
France, Germany and Italy.
From these tests several papers are
likely to be compiled during 1926, and it
is possible, according tc an authority,
that a partial contradiction Of the pre-
sent theory as to the cause of cancer
may be made by some of the investiga-
tors.
A critical repetition of the experiments
is being carried out in the laboratories
of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund IN
London, but many months must pass
before any definite indication of results
can be obtained Ibid.

Teaching In Goodyear Institution


In communication 10 this office,
Mr.. Frank n Gray who is instruc-
tor in the Goodyear Industrial Uni
yersity of Akron. writes:
The Goodyear Industrial UniTer-
sity at present has something over
700 students and rates as first
srade high school with the state
department of education. Most of
the students are selected by the
company for three-year course
and are paid for their time in school
while there are others who pay tu-
ition for special classes. 1t is quite
different from teaching high school
students. however, for we. have men
of all ages and degrees of educa-
tion. | am at present teaching ac-
counting and economics and am lik-
ing the work very much.
There are a few Morgan county
people in Akron, but I haven't met
many yet. Vernon Barker has
been with the Goodyear company
for some time and at present is
teaching some classes in the uni
versity. Naturally we are together
a good bit. Edwin Settle is working
for Goodrich and I talked with him
over the phone the other day.

Judge Aliens Candidacy

Judge Florence E Aliens can
didacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the Ohio senatorship ere
ates a political situation of great in
terest. No woman has ever served
in the u. S. senate. With woman
of Judge Aliens public record and
standing to support, the Ohio wom-
en- who have been devoted to the
equal suffrage cause and the move
ment for the political equality of the
sexes will doubtless exert themselves
to utmost to bring about her NOM
ination and election. She is no Ma
Ferguson. A woman of her quality
in the United States senate would
be great feather in the equal
rights cap. 1t would not be sur.
prising to find many more women
voting in Ohio this year than ever
before.
Judge Allen, who was elected a
judge of the common pleas court in
Cuyahoga county in 1921 and of
the supreme court of Ohio in 1923,
proved herself a remarkable vote
getter on both occasions. Her elec-
tion to the supreme bench was no.
table feat, for she ran as an inde-
pendent, with no party organization
behind her. Male voters did not
seem to any extent to discriminate
against her on account of her sex,
while probably many female voters
Disseminated in her favor on that
account If she should win the SEN
atorial primary her candidacy for
the senate would attract more ma
tional attention than usual to the
Ohio campaign. 20. S. Journal.
