HEALTH DEPARTMENT
DISCUSSES CANCER

Ignorance, secrecy and fear, were
pointed out, at the Cancer meeting
held in Baltimore recently, under the
joint auspices of the medicinal So
cieties and the State Federation of
Women's Clubs, as the greatest
stumbling blocks in the way of help
for the victim of cancer.
It was shown that twenty-five
years ago, from one half to nine
tenths of all the cancer cases ended
'hopelessly. Durig the last five years,
the number Of hopeless cases has
ben reduced to four tenths, or even
less than that, of the cancer patients.
The improvement was first noted about
1920 when results began to be seen
of the better understanding on the
part of both medical and lay people,
OF the vital Importance Of early rec
ignition and prompt treatment of the
cancerous condition. It was agreed
that the possibility of greater i'm
provement depends largely upon the
more general realization that early
recognition offers a hopeful outcome
while delay will in all probability be
fatal.
Cancer is almost one and a half
times more. prevalent in the white
population in Maryland, in proportion
to the total population of both races,
than in the colored, according to the
records of the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics of the State Department of
Health. Moreover, the figures show
that in the while population, cancer
is responsible for more deaths than
even tuberculosis. In 1925, cancer had
the fourth place in the causes of death
in the white population, and tenth in
the colored. During the year, out Of
total Of 1910 deaths from all
causes in the white population, there
were 1885 deaths from cancer; COG in
the counties and 500 in Baltimore
City. In the colored population, out Of
g total of 5,50S deaths, there were
1873 from Gamer; 50 in the counties and
106 in Baltimore city.
ut is impossible to overemphasize
the Importance of the early recogni-
ton of cancer" DR.. John S. Fulton,
Director of the Stat Departmnt of
Health, said in commenting on these
figures, "While the actual cause of
cancer is not known, research workers
have found that the cancerous condi-
ton begins with a single local growth.
If immediate attention is given-and
a well trained doctor or surgeon is
the one to decide what that treatment
must be-there is hope for success
full outcome. No help can be gotten
from quacks or from patent medicines.
Any suspicious growth or unfavorable
condition Of the skin or of any part
of the body should be Immediately
brought to the attention of your doc
tor. That way lies hope"

MANICURE" CORRECT

Paris, Sept. IS Pr-The French academy has decided 10 admit the word ''manucure" into the French language.
 The word, though in general use, in that form, has not hitherto reached dictionary rank, and the six 'immortals' present at the meeting (Marshall Joffre was onc) spent some time discussing whether the English form manicure" (which is also in use in France) should be adopted, but eventually agreed on 'manucure' as being nearer the Latin original.
 The word manipulate" Is to come up for discussion soon.

GRAND ARMY MAY
 BREAK UP RANKS
Veterans of Civil War Con,
 sider DiSbanding

Des Moines Iowa. Sept. LPl-Due 10 infirmities and rapidly thinning ranks, the Grand Army of the Re public may disband following the annual encampment of the organ izatoin here, Sept. 1924. A commit tee of the c. A. R. composed of three past commanders will report on plans for the final disintegration of that heroic body and the disposi- ton of its records and funds at the encampment this year.
 The committee which holds the fate of the C.. A. R. is composed of Former Governor Samuel F. Van Sant of Minnesota, Lewis Pitcher of New York, and Corporal James Tanner of the District of Columbia, all past commanders.
 Upon the recommendation of this committee the membership of the G. A. R. in convention assembled here, will be asked to vote on the question of disbanding. The veter- ans, however, express the hope that the Woman's Relief corps, auXilairy to the G. A. R. may continue their activities for many years.
 All of the surviving past con- manders of the organization, with the possible exception Of Washing ton Gardner of the District of Co lumbia, are expected to attend the oncampment. Among them are Cor poral Tanner, Mir Van Sant. Mir. Pill cher, David J. Palmer of Iowa; Gaylord N. Saltzgaber of Ohio; Louis Arenberg of Pennsylvania; John R. King of Maryland; Eli Torrance of Minnesota and William J. Patterson of Pennsylvania.
 Encampment plans include fire works display which will reproduce the portraits of General |. s. Grant and Abraham Lincoln on the Statehouse grounds, These pyrotech- nical displays will be augmented by many other fireworks features.
 Des Moines downstreets will be avenues of flags, miles in length, in honor of the 25,000 veterans of the Civil war who are expected here during the encampment.

ARMS CONFERENCE
 GIVEN PRECEDENCE
Geneva Legatg Lay All Other Matters Aside Temporarily

Geneva. Sept. IS [P,-The ques- ton of speeding up preparations for the league of nations long awaited conference dominated all other considerations today.
 At the very moment when For eign Minister Briand of France and Foreign Minister Stresemann of Germany were getting together yesterday afternoon to iron out questions at issue between their two countries, the assembly's dis armament committee heard Jonk- heer Loudon Of the preparatory disarmament commission assert that the commission would meet again in December or February to put the final touches on prepara- tions for a general conference.
 The military, naval and aerial experts, including representatives of the United States who are col laborating with the preparatory commission, are due to resume work September 27, when the as sembly concludes its sessions. Dur ing yesterdays discussion of dis armament and alluding indirectly 10 the seemingly imminent Franco German reapproachment, M. Munch, the Danish delegate. said:
 The political situation this year Is more favorable for a reduction of armaments than ever in the past. Since the Locarno conference the feeling of insecurity in Europe has been dissipated or greatly | diminished"
 The speaker added that notwith- standing non participation by Rus sia, the league of nations should strive earnestly 10 get the disarma- ment conference started before the next assembly's sessions in order not to lose prestige. Louis De Brouckere, Belgium similarly urged that the conference be held as soon as possible. Count Von Bern storff, Germany, warmly seconded this.
