ACCIDENTS
Minor Week-End Collisions Bring About Court Ac-
 tions

Automobiles driven by Henry R0- berQe of New Bedford and 4 J Fitz- gerald of Norwich were in collision on the Dauielson pike near the David Clark place Sunday afternoon and though the damage to both machines was practically negligible. the smash produced a rather complex case for Tuesday morning session of the city court
 After the accident Roberge was ar resfed hg Officer Gedde= 8f the state police. on complaint of Fitzgerald. Reckless driving was alleged. and on this charge Roberee appeared before Judge Geissler Tuesday morning.
 According Co Mr Fitzgerald his ear. coming toward Putnam. was fore. ed of the cement highway by that of Roberge. who was attempting to pass another machine practically on the curve Of the road. He did not entirely leave the road and there was a scrap ing of lenders He held that he had gone of the road as far as possible and had done his best to prevent the accident. Mrs Fitzgerald and q third passenger in the car, Miss Isabelle Mitchell of Worcester. supported his testimony.
 Roberge declined to engage 8 law yer. and after stating his case exam ined his own witnesses. His testimony was to the point that after having a clear view ahead of him be attempted ta pass a slow-moving machine going in the same direction. but could not quite get by When he saw Fitzgerald approaching in the opposite direction he had no choice but to get as close as he could to the car alongside which he was moving, for other ears had come up behind. This he did and there would have been no accident had not Fitzgerald sharply applied his brakes causing his rear wheels to skid toward the center of the road. He had three supporting witnesses.
 The court ruled that from the evi- denee 1t appeared that Roberge must have attempted 10 pass the other ma chine practically on the corner. and that at any rate he must accept the re- spousibility. since f was absolutely clear that the Norwich man was well on the right side of the road 4 fine of s25 and costs of sf914 was im- posed and paid
 Henry Jolly of Church street was given the minimum fine of Si with ae- tual costs of s for failure ta have his registration certificate with him. Mir. Jolly was arrested by Officer Sponcey Saturday evening ofter his machine had been ir collision with that of Jo- seph Comes of Goodyear on Church street The damage to both machines was slight

PROPER MATING AS
 A BAR ID CANCER
Otherwise Humans Never Will
 Become Immune

Ithaca, N. Y. Aug. 21 P>--Man can become immune to cancer, but probably never will because so- ciety cannot direct the mating of men and women resistant to the disease, as is done with animals, in the opinion of Dr. Erwin F.. Smith, of Washington, D.@C., who is attending the international con- gress of plant sciences at Cornell university.
 Experiments with animals have shown that it is possible to breed races entirely resistant to cancer, Dr, Smith said, but also to breed another race 100 per cent cancer ous. It is believed the same would apply to the human race, were it possible to direct the mating des- tinies of man.
 Dr. Smith, former president of the American Association of Can cer Research, and recognized as a leading authority on cancer in this country, believes that cancer is caused by an organism, or para site. and that the organism which produces cancers or tumors on plants is the same as that which affect the human body. His own experiments with plants, he said. have shown that the cancer or ganisms produced are not unlike those obtained in rats fed on ne-

TOO MANY BOOKS

There are too many books and too many graves in the world, says Professor J. r. Thorpe. F. k. S., organic chemistry expert.
 Civilization appears to be confronted with two evergrowing problems-the increase in its cemeteries and In it's libraries" the pro- lessor declared in his presidential address to the chemistry section of the British Associa- tion at Oxford. "The former, no doubt, will be solved by cremation. Is it too much to hope that judicious exercise of this method may also be applied to libraries?" Professor Thorpe asked in the course of his address.
 When it is remembered" he added, there are some 23,000 scientific periodicals published throughout the world, the mind stands appalled, at the prospects which will confront civilization even in so short time as one hundred years
 The space occupied by our ever increas- ing libraries must cause alarm to those who contemplate the possibilities of the future"

Richards Efforts to Stage Demp-

Old timers at Fl Paso opine that Tex Rickard did not have any trou- ble at all in getting set for the pro- posed Dempsey-Tunney fight com pared with what promoter Dan Stuart went through to stage the Peter Maher-Bob Fitzsimmons bout there in 1S96.
 Texas Rangers were dispatched to Fl Paso, the Arizona national guard mobolized, federal and state officers centered in Las Cruces, New Mexico. AS miles northeast of here and Mexi- can troops sent to Juarez to put a quietus on this fight.
 There was no padding the gloves used by Maher and Fitzsimmons. They fought stripped to the waist and virtually bare listed.
 Promoter Stuart announced that his bout would be held February IA but, like Rickard. he wasn't quite certain where, except that it would be near Fl Paso. Citizens here raised purse of S1O,o00, which was big money in those days.
 Then a little group of local preachers got busy. T. B. Catron. territorial delegate from New Mexico was induced to rush a bill through

matodes taken from the muscles of the West Indian cockroaches found around sugar factories or in ships engaged in the West Indian trade.
 Cancer, he believes, may be cured by operation, if discovered in time. Superficial cancers and those near or on the skin and easily reached may be overcome by prop CT and skillful use of radium and the X-ray. In this connection, however, he pointed out that many supposed "cures' cannot be called such definitely until the elapse of time has brought no recurrence of the malignant growths.
 Repeated contact with soot, coal tar, paraffln and anilines are be- lieved to be among the common causes of cancer, with possibly a more common cause, in Dr. Smiths opinion, the arsenic brought into the body through continued use of tobacco. Dr. Smith pointed out that cancers most common in men were those of the mouth, throat and stomach. caused possibly by contact with the arsenic sprayed on tobacco as 1t grows in the field and used again as a preservative In the storage sheds.
 The passing of five years, or a decade, he believes, may demon- strate the correctness of this the ory because of the increasing use of tobacco by women, who now are susceptible chiefly to cancers of the breast, stomach and uter- ous, types of the disease seldom found in men. but who do not now have to any extent cancer of the mouth and throat that may be caused by contact with the arsenic of tobacco. and which now affects men.

DOINGS IN FOREIGN CAPITALS
PARIS
Poincare Is Simple Dresser-German Tourists Profting by the Low Val uation of French Franc.

Paris, Aug. 21. GP-Coming after the be- monocled and bespatted M. de Monzie and the equally bemonocled and adorned M. Cailaux Frances new Finance Minister and Premier Raymond Poincare, is an extremely simple dresser.
 Practising his own preachment of public and private economy M. Poincare is wearing the same soft grey hat he wore when he left the premiership more than two years ago. Also he is working in an old grey sack suit that shows considerable need of pressing. He is repairing less frequently to the barber for his hair and beard trims than when he oc- cupied the more decorative post of President of the Republic.
 When M. Poincare was Foreign Minister the social duties attached to that office forced him to be more or less stylishly turned out for gala occasions Even then, however. he never deserted the old-fashioned frock coat for the more legant cutaway or the plain black waist coat in favor of the white vest with his eve ming clothes. It had to be an exceedingly i'm portant affair to make him discard his derby or soft hat in favor of topper"

ECONOMY RECOMMENDATION

circllar to school teachers issued by M. Herriot Minister of Public Instruction sug- gests ways in which they should recommend economy in the national interest. No sacr- flee is insignificant, the Minister says. if made by everybody. The suggestions are:
 Fruit and vegetables should be pared as little as possible, and ashes carefully sifted. Everybody should avoid wasting single crumb of bread.
 Coffee should be taken weaker than formerly and less sugar used.
 Preserved milk should be avoided as be- ing an important article.
 Less gas should be burned and the electric light turned off when not actually required.
 Great care should be taken of clothes and nobody should be afraid Of being seen wearing shabby clothes.
 Bits of paper should be saved and sold instead of being thrown away.
 Automobiles should be used only when omnibuses or subways are not available.

Lord Asquith's Son Doubles in Brit ish Movies-Princess Mary Fond of Large, Bright Hats.

London, Aug. 21. (E1-The Hon. Anthony Asquith, son of Lord Oxford and Asquith, has been playing part of the role of Boadcea. the Amazon queen. in a British film. He drove the chariot in an exciting race scene in place of Miss Phyllis Nelson Terry who otherwise played the queen. Miss Terry found that guid- ing galoping horses from a swaying chariot was beyond her strength, and Anthony As ouith 'understudied" in it, attired in her royal robes and wig.
 Recently young Asquith visited Hollywood with his sister, Princess Bibesco and made a study of American film production.
