WASTE or GOOD LIFE
By Charles p. Driscon

J know A high-grade physician in New jersey who
has implanted cancer tissue in the healthy flesh Of
his arms. and has been ursing il along for a year.
ne has a theory about cancer. HI thinks cancer
is related in some way to a certain widespread class
Of diseases, and that it will yield to the same treat
ment that has been found effective in those diseases.
He doesn't know; can't be sure. But he's going to
find out, If possible. OF course ne couldn't ask any
body else to act as an experimental laboratory, for
there is q deadly risk involved. SO he tries it on
himself.
III his theory is correct, the doctor will survive.
The cancert seemed to flourish i'll the healthy flesh.
1T grew to considerable size. Under treatment. it has
diminished III 4 few weeks 70 small proportions. The
doctor thinks he has It whipped.
This is all very we'll. and if the doctor is right he
NAV ia on the verge of A great discovery. But if he
is wrong. he probably will die the death that so many
have died, of cancer. For when you experiment upon
your own body. you take Oh a heavy wager
I think it's 2 shame to waste valuable life that
way. while other means are availabla-or almost
available.
Those Chicago killers who lined up their business
rivals and shot them down in cold blood-why
shouldn't they serve as Laboratories to solve this prob
lem. instead Ar this valuable doctor?
In a New York elevated train . lout Of \ man be-
came angry because 2 newspaper in the hands Of a

why shouldn't this sodden brute serve as a labor
atCry for experiments looking toward the elimination
of cancer. the common cold. heart disease. and the
other ailments that carry off 50 many worthwhile
folk every day?
Cuba may beat us to this advanced attitude to-
ward human life. The political wheels are actually

Speaking of Highway Bill

A. now written. speaking Of the stale highway
land bin. VI w proposed To authorize mt exceeding
SITS noo 600 of bonds Of which S75o0on0o or 50 much
as NAV h necessary shall be used To refund tn com
ties and road districts the amounts spent On state
designated highways. The remaining SlnooO0000
would be tie basis Of AN highway construction and
maintenance.
AS amended the author eliminates from the con-
ttitutional amendment all language which would have
permitted any kind Of q property tax 70 be collected
70 pay the interest and sinking fund OF the state
bond. At the instance Of Senator John w. Hornsby
Of the Travis district a new clause was inserted in
the measure which provides that there shall never
be levied any tax on real estate to nav the obligations
arising from the issuance Of state highway bonds.
As thus changed by the Hornsby addition the
amendment Will he confined exclusively to the income
from gasoline. one-fOIIrth of which IS to continue IN
20 to the state available school fund and three
fourths II the highway account. Now Is the time for
the friends and the foes Of the original bill to get
together. in senate and house. Enact the measure
and submit the bond issue to the people for the quail
flied voters Of the state II return their verdit At the
ballot box.
A vast majority Of the people Of Texas are ever
demanding modern highways and that the users Of
the highways shall pay the cost. They are the mas
tiers. the ballots is the thing and the verdict At the
polls will tell all the story.

Betty suspected she had seen little

knew Lois was a bit inclined to boast
Of her affairs with men. If there
was anything to the idea that she
was going TO marry Andy, Lois
would have been more definite.
Betty felt relieved. believing there
was no prospect Of Andy marrying
Lois. Lois was z Bit too flightv for
Andy! Even as she thought. she
came TO the conclusion there was no
reason why she should feel anyone
was too good for Andy. He had GER
tainly not shown to a good advan-
taGe in his affair with her. She
could hardly understand why she
| was still interested in him.
She chatted with Lois about
friends who went IN school with
them. but refused Lois invitation to
attend q recital Of dancing school to
which she was going the following
night. Then Lois took her home.
Betty was glad when Lois left her,
She did not enjoy being with her as
much as she used to. Lois was shall
low; she would never make any man
who settled down and took life seri-
! ously a good wife. Lois had said
| Andy had settled down!
She shook her head and frOWned
at her line Of thought; Andy Adair
was not worth worrying Overi She
went 10 bed wondering why she was
unable to get him out Of her
thoughts. Andy and dancing were
coupled in her mind, she rarely
thought Of one without thinking Of
the other,
She sighed heavily. and went 70
sleep to dream that she and Andy
had formed an adagio team and
were dancing before a large audi
ence. When she leaped for Andy's
arms he stepped back laughing,
and let her fall into the orchestra.

IN the governors office. the present session Of the

Few of the measures which Governor Moody has

There is, for example, Moodys proposal for a

The United States has been neg1ectlng ITS duty Of
AmPriCanizing immigrants,
About 100000 foreign-born people are admitted
annually to American citizenship III a manner which
seems to them to be grUdging and hating. And once
they have gained their citizenship papers. We have
too often allowed them to 60 their ways without ef-
fort to make them one Of us as q great human fam
lily. The consequence is that these newcomers tend
to remain by themselves. in their racial groups.
Among all the important functions Of our govern
ment, one Of the most important, certainly, is that
Of admitting new citizens to our electorate. It is a
matter Of some concern to us. and it should be made
a solemn rite to those applying for that citizenship.
Moreover these people, desiring to be one with the
American people, need coach and help in the early
steps Of preparing themselves. Once prepared and
ready to meet the tests we have imposed. they need
to feel that they are welcome. American citizenship
must be represented to them not only as a thing de-
sirable, but as a thing enjoyable. We want them to
know that they are joining far more than a technical
democracy: they are Joining a true brotherhood.
We ought to make American citizens of these peo-
pie, first Of all. But that is not enough. We ought
to make them n~eighbors and friends. We ought to
break down the barrier Of timidity. of shyness, Of ig-
norance. We ought to sec that they learn our Ian
guage, our history, our purposes. But above all, we
ought to see that they learn the great American heart
that beats within us all.
