New Era of World Politics Seen
In Impending Naval Negotiations

more certain than that the present
American administration is infieXibly re-
solved against all special political al
chances with any foreign country what
soever. The impending era OF en-
HANGED friendship between Britain and
the United States could not, 1t Is be-
lieved here, have any greater tmpedi-
mert to its appearance on earth than
would be furnished by efforts to write
the terms of it into the tight binding
clauses of an ENHANCEMENT treaty
which the traditions Of the United
States-and the United States Senate
would instantly repudiate.
The other loud is the possibility that
in the reg-iar session of the Senate
in Decemtcr there may be an effort by
the State Department to bring up the
subject of American membership in
the London World Court. That action
by the State Department. as this writer
abundantly knows by inquiry in sena-
torial circles. would fll the whole atmos-
phere Of the Anglo American-Japanese
naval conference with prolonged ora
tions by q large part OF the Senate
against all foreign countries in general
and against Britain in particular. In
such an atmosphere the naval reduc-
ton treaty produced by the conference
might be received with senatorial Sus-
picion and might go down TO senatorial
defeat.
The President may have to choose be-
tween the World Court on the one hand
and naval reduction and new peace and
harmony in the relations of the world s
two most powerful countries on the
other.

Thanatology.

The Russian mind is not combining
itself to weird experiments in political
science and sociology. 1t is undertake
ing still weirder departures In the nat
ural sciences-and weirdest Of all are
those of Prof. A. Koullabko Of Moscow
in attempting to lay the foundations
of new science Of thanatology.
He is approaching the study Of life
from the study Of death. Just what
he has accomplished remains doubtful
Strange and fearsome tales have come
from his laborat ory-which he himself
has insisted were slightly exaggerated
But it was reported at the international
Physiological Congress recently that
he had actually succeeded in keeping
the heart beating for thirty hours after
the individual had been pronounced
dead.
His work led to . proposal before this
body Of eminent scientists for the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-08-25

| their laboratories carry on experiments
to improve the various phases of the
earlier method, the way Is opened for
experimentation along new lines.
Briefly, the discovery of Prof. Boris
Sokolon Of Prague is that the cortex
of the 0Hprarenal gland in animals
suffering from cancer show peculiar
effect due to some lack in their essen
tial extract. He has taken the extract
from the suprarenal glands OF healthy
individuals combined it with iron salts
and a coal-tar derivative, and injected
1t into hundreds of mice and rats SUI
fering from four distinct types OF cam
Ger. OF 1000 animals so treated, more
than TOO apparently were cureo by the
rapid oxidation of the iron and pyrrUl.
The healthy cells Of the adjoining tis-
sues were not injured, and within a
few days or a few hours, depending on
individual cases, the cancer disappeared.
Some of the animals showed no effects
of such cures and few died because
the process was too rapid. ApproXi-
mately IS out of the 200 apparently
cured suffered relapses within two
months.
The experimentation of Dr. SCkcloff
has not established the cause Of cancer,
But he has approached the problem
from new angle
Much has been lost to the human
race for years because of the lack OF
individual enterprise. Too many are
afraid to do things new way when
the masters Of their calling have had
one method for years. The man who
stumbles on hidden road and follows
1t until he has learned its destination
is the true scientist and while PIcf.
Sokolo1 may or may not be applaudcd
a decade from now, his enterprise in
approaching problem from a new side
is the feature for which he deserves
most credit.

Financial Responsibility.

1t appesrs from an opinion Of Acting
Corporation Counsel Stephens that the
Public Utilities Commission has ample
authority to compel public hackers to
pest bonds or insurance as proof Of
financial liability for damages they may
cause before permit to operate ID

should be lost by the commission In
taking advantage of Its authority and
wiping out an evil that has been grow
ing in proportion to the number Of
independent. insolvent hackers that

dress by hapless victims.

Some four hundred of these hackers
ply the streets daily. Many of them. of
course, for their own protection. have
taken out insurance. but there Is far too
large q percentage of this number who
neither carry insurance nor have the
ability to satisfy judgments In case Of
accidents. These men are known as judg-
ment-proof II they are sued they are

the operators equity cannot be held an

Of ever realizing on 1t.
Stringent regulations regarding finan-

Device Turns Off Radio
By Clapping of Hands
We. FREE. PHI. d.

A radio receiver that can be stopped
instantly by q shout or a handicap from
the other side of the room whenever
the program becomes annoying. as an
cient potentates may have quieted the
efforts of their orchestras Of slaves. has
been invented by Allen B. DuMont, a
radio amateur of Montclair. Nova Scotia.
who reports his device to the American
Radio Relay League.
The secret is nothing more compile
Gated than a small plate of thin copper
tilted against a copper wire. Plate and
wire are mounted inside small wooden
box which acts as a sounding board
and vibrates il a deep. full sound is pro-
duced in the neighborhood, like hand
clap or q low-pitched shout. The vi
bration Of the box shakes the small
copper plate loose from its contact with
the copper wire against which it rests
A small electric current, passing all
the time through the contact between
plate and wire. is thus broken. This
operates another bit of electric appa
ratus, called relay, and this relay
turns off the switches and stops the
radio reception. When the concert that
he Is listening to from his easy chair
across the room gives way to an I'M
wanted bedtime story Mr.. DuMont need
not trouble to arise. He merely claps
his hands or speaks severely to his
receiver, and the obedient copper slave
in the wooden box turns everything of.

New Cancer Research.

4 new discovery in the fight of sci
ence against cancer has been reported
TO the International Physiological Con-
greSS. which is holding its thirteenth
session at Harvard University Medical
School.
1t is discovery by young Russian
professor in Czechoslovakia, and while
1t Is admitted to be in its preliminary
stages only, it is important because il
develops new method rather than
attempting to find an improvement on
the old methods.
In the years that scientists through
out the world have been trying to finc
q definite cure for one of the most ter
rihle Of diseases great progress has beer
made. Naturally the first method oil
approach was to attempt to poison
the malignant growth. Variations Of
this method have been found successful

their minds professionally open, have
adopted one or another Of the various

effort to develop them as far as possible

establishment OF various centers devoted
to the study of the physiology Of death.
Just where is the narrow line that
separates 1t from life? Just what is
the difference between the state Of liv-
ing and the state Of death? The
Russian would open a new pathway
into the greatest of all mysteries.
The new science would not intrude
on the province Of biology-the study
Of life processes. It would be devoted
to the study of death processes in the
hope that somewhere In this dark land
of devouring terrors clues can be found
which biology has missed.
Prof. Kouliabkos work, weird and
terrifying as it seems. is in fact the
antithesis of mysticism and spiritism.
It's purpose is to find tangible, mocha
nistic explanations Of the thanatological
phenomena. He has struck out on bold
and original lines. to carry the exact
methods of science to the other side Of
the black veil which separates death
from life.
