Tom English Writes of
 Success in the West

Tom English, known to the resi- dents of this city as New Britain s 1 premier minstrel man of the old school, has written to friends in this city from Oklahoma, telling of his trips as member of the vaude- vile act, Stars of Other Days" formerly "The Five Jolly Corks" He showed at the Main street thea ter in Kansas City, Mo, during the week of August 29 and will be at the Grand theater in St. Louis, Mo, during the week of September 12.
 The act as local people will re- member, consists of quintet of men who were famous as minstrels in the days when that form of entertain ment was at the height of its sue cess. After having appeared before the crowned heads of Europe, in Africa and South America, Tom English retired for a number of years from stage life and then, upon getting together with the other old timers who appear with him daily, the act was formed as a trial horse" to see if a revival of the stunts" of other days could be put across.
 From the minute that they re- ceived their first booking in New York city, "The Stars of Other Days" have been working steadily ever since. It is significant to note that when the pull of the vaude- vile acts was at its weakest, the old timers were booked solldly through for week after week. In the couple of years they have been together, the members of the troupe hav toured this country from end to end and have shown in all the big cities in Canada. They have busy life ahead of them in the west and southwest.

LIGHT.POWER Co.
 EMPLOYEES OUTING
More Than 100 Enjoy Field Day and Sports Program

The annual outing of the Con- necticut Light and Power company's employees of the New Britain Dis trrict was held yesterday afternoon at Tabbbard Inn, Lighthouse Point. More than 100 employees with guests from Waterbury. Boston and else where were in attendance.
 Sports events included rope throwing contest won by A. s. Hold en, 100 yard dash by Edward Kiernan, broad jump by Charles karpinski. three legged race for girls by Hazel Harris and Gertrude Klar, 50 yard dash for girls, by Helen Leach, sack race for girls by Hozel Harris.
 The feature event of the sports was the 50 yard dash by the youngest" employees of the com pany, Harry Merron and Jimmy Desmond. There was intense rival " between the two contestants and 1t resulted in two races. The first race was from the ordinary runners position but at the crack Of the pistol, Merron was unable 10 .traighten up and get started so the race was rerun from a standing start and resulted in a tie. The spirit displayed by both of these men who have been with the company for more than 25 years caused some apprehension on the part Of the younger employees who competed ln the other running races.
 A special added event that arous- ed considerable interest was a run ming race of 100 yards with the fol lowing entrants: Helen Leach Madeline Kindelan and A. W. Borg Mfr. Borg is reputed to be quite Q racer. but Miss Leach and Miss Kindelan easily outdistanced him.
 Recognizing the importance ol having all employees trained in re- suscitation methods for electric shock, asphyxiation or drowning cash prizes of s25 were awarded tt four teams that competed. The first prize was won by team cap tained by Larry Dakill. Second prize was tied and equal amour awarded to teams explained by Ed ward stigberg and William Hickey The third prize was awarded to the team explained by Howard Clark The judge for these events was Cur tin D. Marstens, Scout executive Waterbury.
 A shore dinner was served a 6:3o o'clock, during which time al orchestra of five pieces furnished music for singing and dancing.
 B. H. McElhone, local superinten dent, awarding the cash prizes 10 the resuscitation drill, called the at tention of all employees to the i'm portance of this traininf which ever employe must take.

GAILY PLUMAGED BIRDS
MAKE BETTER WARRIORS
Always Target for Enemies,
Those Who Survive Must Be
Sturdy and Alert.
BY Science Service .

LONDON. August Gay birds are
the hardy athletes of the feathered
world, according to a theory now ad-
vanced by c. H. Henshaw, a London
naturalist.
Male birds are forced to be dash
ingly beautiful in order to attract the
more sober-colored females, Mr.. Hen
shaw explains. But bird that wears
scarlet, blue or orange feathers, and
that sings loudly and otherwise makes
himself conspicuous, must be sturdy
and alert if he is to survive long
enough to establish a home and raise
a family. He is as much target for
his enemies as the warrior who used
to dash into battle wearing a red coat
and riding a white horse.
How all this illustrates the old prin-
ciple of the survival of the fitteSt is
shown by Mr.. Henshaw, who says:
THE better mate an animal can get.
the more chance it's descendants will
have Of survival. and it is obvious
that a male that has to face more
danger and yet manages to survive
has in all probability a greater ca
pacity for keeping alive than one
which lives through less danger.
Therefore the female that chooses q
mate with a dangerous habit or struC-
ture chooses what is. aside from the
dangerous part, a better and more fit
mate"
This tends to raise the vitality of
the bird species, he says, because the
male birds vitality is inherited by
both sexes of his family, although his
hazardous beauty is handed on only
to his male descendants.

CANCER SERA TEST
PROVESASUCCESS
Laboratory Rats Rendered
Immune to Disease by Lon
don Scientist.


LONDON, August 7.-Cancer serum
that has cured cancer in a number of
laboratory rats and has rendered them
immune to the disease over a long Pc
Rod Is the latest cancer news Just re-
ported here by DR.. Thomas Lumsden,
working at the Lister Institute under
a grant from the British Empire can
Ger campaign. DR.. Lumsden has been
working for several years on the pos
sibillty of serum treatment.
In recent experiments he has fought
cancer cells with a number Of different
anti-sera in an attempt to find out
which would be the most effective
against malignant cells. and also in
the hope of learning the mechanism
by which immunity to cancer is &C
quired.
Fifty rats, all of them with a cancer
in each hind foot, were used in one
series of tests. Anti.serum of a rat
or mouse cancer was injected in one
foot of each rat. n every case the
cancer of the treated foot was cured,
and in addition the untreated tumor
In the other foot also went away
few days later.
ed that rats treated in this way were
found to be absolutely immune to the
tumor concerned"
1T is now possible to state" he
says, that this immunity is of long
duration. A test incubation was given
to so rats six months after their re.
covery. OF these only two developed
progressive tumors. The other 48 still
were completely resistant to a cancer
which grew rapidly in all of 10 normal
animals inoculated with identical ma
terial at the same time
Recent efforts to go further and use
serum to fight human cancer are de-
Scribed in a report from Prof. Ferd
Blumenthal of the University of Berlin
Prof. Blumenthal long ago proposed
that cancer patients might be injected
with an extract of the tumor removed
by operation in order that they might
become immunized. This method has
lately been taken up with. success by
DR.. ThieS. another German scientist
he reports. The chief drawback in
this method Is that a cancer used for
this purpose must not be advanced in
decomposition This means, he says.
that only a few operative cancers are
adapted to this treatment.

PRESIDENT ACCEPTS
MACREADY RESIGNATION
Flyer Who Made Many Records,
Including Nonstop Flight,
to Enter Business.

Resignation of First Lieut.. John A.
Macready, Army Air Corps, recently
stationed at McCook Field. Dayton.
Ohio, has been accepted by the Presi-
dent, it was announced yesterday.
Lieut.. Macready left the flying
service to accept a position with the
Dayton Electric Light Co. His
resignation brings to an end one of
the most brilliant careers ever en-
joyed in the Army by any one.
Jointly he holds honors with Lieut..
Oakley G.. Kelly of the first and only
nonstop flight across the continent,
which record for mileage recently was
smashed by the French. He also held
the endurance record of more than 80
continuous hours in flight over San
Diego, Calf, and Dayton.
In addition to his activities with
the famous T-2, transcontinental non
stop ship, which now is in the aircraft
building of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton here, Lieut. Macready has been
the altitude expert of the Army for
many years. He at one time held the
worlds record. but the French pilot
Calico now enjoys that honor. Re
Gently Lieut.. Macready made three at
tempts to bring back the universal
high mark, but failed. His expert
ences in the upper atmosphere have
furnished valuable information TO
science.
