Zoned on July l are well distributed

Instituted first in Boston in 1904,
zoning regulations have spread
throughout the United States until
they are almost universal. Their
spread, however, has been impeded by
action brought by property holders in
the courts, in the course of which
some Zoning laws have been held un-
constitutional. Twenty-Five States
have upheld comprehensive zoning or
dinances through their courts, and the
Supreme Court of the United States
has upheld zoning ordinances in four
cases.
Forty-six States and the District of

DOCTOR FINDS NEW
 CURE FOR CANCER
Plants Radioactive "Seeds" in
 Diseased Tissues

l Vienna, Austria, Aug. q P)-- tNew hope for sufferers from certain
 forms of cancer heretofore regarded
 as incurable, was held out by Dr. Joseph Muir of New York yesterday l at 8 demonstration before a cancer research congress of new type of radioactive seed for implantation , in diseased tissues.
 While Dr. Muir said his method was of too recent development to claim permanent cures, he expressed confidence that it would prove more efficient in destroying the malignant process than the hit-or- miss methods which were all that were possible under the old conditions"
 The tiny seed no larger than the head of pin, contains radon, a ra- dio-active gas, far less costly than
 the forms of radium previously em- ployed, and therefore may be made available to virtually every sufferer. The containers, he explained, are lso devised as to overcome two great drawbacks which have heretofore lessencd the usefulness of the meth od-burning with the subsequent ne crosis of the tissues exposed to the jradium. and the necessity of leaving the seeds permanently in the radi- ated area.
 The new seeds are screened with
 platinum. which cuts off all caustic
 rays, and attached threads make it
 possible 10 withdraw the containers
 as soon as their usefulness is ended.
 The seed particularly lends itself,
 he said, to>the treatment of cancer of
 the esophagus, one of the most dead
 ly of all forms of cancer.
 Dr. Muir was for several years physician chief at the New York throat, nose and lung hospital. Aban-
 doning the field of medicine for a few years, he served as consul-gen- eral at St ckholm and later as sec
 retary of the legations to Norway and Sweden. Returning once more
 10 medicine. he has devoted himself 10 radium therapy.
 On leaving Vienna he will take his
 seeds 10 cancer Ccnters in Berlin,
 Paris and London.

in Hartford, by the way. When the desk sergeant heard the story he sent them into the captain. The cop
 told his story and the captain told him that if he couldn't take care
 of his things any better than that | he'd better hand in his badge. The | two Georgetown boys argued for i te cop and told the captain what a l fine guy he was and everything so
 the captain finally let the super , numerary go back to his job The 1, two 'ex- x-criminals' brought him back in their car and as far as I know, they were good friends after that. Grand Opera on Moving Stage "One time l was taking bunch of men up to a job in the northern
 part of the state. Half way up 1t started to rain and the boss said that we didn't have to work that day. All the men in the back were so happy that they started in sing ing at the top of their lungs and l was glad too, so I stepped on 1t and went down the road sounding like a band wagon gone crazy. They were singing o Sole Mio.' at the top of their husky voices and talking in four languages when a motorcycle cop drew up and asked Us what the hurry was. Those men stopped sing ing so suddenly that it was funny: The cop let me off with a warning but the men didn't dare sing any more. I told them the cop had told me to make them keep quiet or he'd arrest us all. Half of them didn't speak English so that was all right with them-they didn't let out a peep all the rest of the way home.
 What do we do to pass the time away? Well. we get bawled out plenty for happening to work for the company that's making it so hard for the fellow in the automo- bile to get to where he's going. Everybody who goes past looks dag gers at me as though it was my fault the state decided to put in a new road. We get used to 1t after a while. We read when we get a tllditS puL IL . ildlu "iiCli "C 6Nt in the middle of an exciting part to have to stop and argue with a guy that's sure his car can get over a 12 foot excavation"
 The Bitter Bitten
 The stalwart ex-football star stopped in his "reminiscences and went over to the middle of the road with his dingy red flag. A string of cars formed quickly behind its ar- resting waves and stopped to let 1 string of machines come through {. from the other side of the one way stretch. A woman in a large car happened to be stalled with the rest of them but while the others ac- cepted their fate in comparative . good nature, the women leaned on ' the horn and let the world know ! that she wasn't satisfied with the i state of affairs as she found them. Nobody paid any attention to her until the line had passed and the flagman waved them on. Then, in her earnestness to let the young man know just how she felt about the whole proposition, the woman became so excited as to stall her car. Immediately IS horns behind her took up the song where she had left off and the young man who had recently received her caus- tic comments stood and grinned at her efforts until she at last got the car going.
 He sauntered over to the writer with a wide smile on his face. He sighed deeply.
 "These women" he said.
