LATEST IN CANCER
STUDY PUBLISHED
New Journal Is Designed to
Cover Entire Field of MaIig-
nant Disease Research.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 19.-The
latest developments in cancer in more
than twoscore scientific institutions in
seven countries were made public yes
terday.
They are summarized in the contents
of the first issue of the American Jour-
nal of Cancer, now in press, a publica-
ton designed to cover the entire field
of cancer.
This, it is stated in the summary
was not possible previously in the
United States because of the prohibitive
expense of printing the lengthy papers
with the colored illustrations which
make them useful to physicians.
Foundation Gives Funds.
Funds for the new venture were sup
piled by the Chemical Foundation. OF
which Francis p. Garvan of New York
Is president as part of plan to facilt-
tate national cooperation of physicians
and scientists in combating cancer.
DR.. Francis Garter Wood of Column
bia University is the editor. The first
issue has 500 pages, dozens Of illustra-
lions and numerous articles and alb
StractS of the work of scientists In
America. Japan, England, France
Spain, Italy and Germany. There are
special articles from Columbia, Harvard
the Memorial Hospital of New York
and the Mayo Foundation.
Among the unusual sidelights in the
frst issue Is an expression of doubt
that age Is a cause of cancer.
Age Cause Doubted.
DIR. William H. Woglom of the Insti-
tute OF Cancer Research, Columbia
University, writes:
To-day, it is known that Sarcoma
like carcinoma Cloth are forms of can
cer) become more frequent the greater
the burden Of years, and 1t is strongly
suspected that age itself may really
have nothing to do with the inception
OF malignant disease (cancer) save
only that long life means an extended
period throughout which the action OF
an irritant can be exerted."
BY action of an irritant" DR.. Wog-
lom refers to observations that irrita-
ton of some sort frequently precedes
cancer.
There is also in the journal an un-
usual point of view of benefits of sun
light in the treatment of cancer.
THE patient" it states, should bt
allowed as much activity, especially In
the open air, as can be tolerated with.
out fatigue. Sunlight is invigoratint
and helpful.
"A moderate tan decreases the 9th.
erwise pallor and may in some man.
ner enhance resistance to disease"

VATICAN is SHOCKED
BY CATALOGUE OF SALE
Those Responsible Called Upon to
Make Amends for Men
tioning Nudes.

ROME (N.AN.A).- The Vatican had
a terrible shock when the furniture and
the works of art belonging to the late
Cardinal Vannutelli, that very diStin-
guished prince of the church, were sold
by public auction here the other day,
for many pictures of nude figures were
mentioned in the catalogue.
The church's indignation was given
expression in the papal organ, and its
hopes that those responsible, whether
they be in good or bad faith, will hastily
make amends for such a Scandalous Of
Tense against the lamented cardinal,
whose austere Christianity was a model
to the world"
1t is to be feared that those daring
works which we're disposed of will not
be repurchaSed by the vendors. Italian
auctioneers generally seize the oppor-
tunity of sprinkling in few extrane-
Gus objects when selling the goods Of a
notability, and they made no exception
Of the good cardinal.

in Restoring Peace Fol-
lowing Outbreaks.

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, De-
cember 19.-Peace had returned to
Guatemala last night after revolution
which installed Gen. Manuel Orellana
as the third President the country has
had within a week. The Congress indi-
Gated in a formal manifesto a belief
that the trouble was definitely over.
The statement disclosed that the va
rious Ambassadors and other repre-
sentatives of foreign nations had sat
in on congressional conferences looking
toward establishment of peace. The
mediation of the diplomatic corps was
helpful, the statement says, but the
diplomats functioned only as unofficial
observers.
The Congress considers the critical
period over" the statement read, land
calls attention to its satisfaction over
the fact that the recent political diff
culties resulted in a minimum of blood
spilling."
The document bore the signatures of
the representatives from Mexico, Ger
many, Italy, Belgium, the United States
and several Central American states. 1t
contained paragraph to the effect that
the diplomats gave their aid only as
unofhcial observers at the invitation Of
the Congress.

NEW YORK, December l9.-The
New York Times today prints the fol-
lowing from London:
New York Times correspondent
asked George Bernard Shaw for his
opinion Of Sinclair Lewis address at
Stockholm, in which the Nobel Prize
winner attacked present literary stand
ards in America
This is Mr.. Shaw's reply, in part:
LAS far as 1 am qualified to judge,
Mr.. Sinclair Lewis has said just the
right thing in the right way to the
Swedish Academy and at his own
countrymen. They will not resent it,
They expect to be fiattered, but, far
from being grateful to their fiatterers,
they accept the tribute as a matter of
course, just as they accept the cleaning
of their boots at hotel.

MASTOD0N SKELETON
is BEING EXCAVATED
Bones and Tusks Found on Indi-
ana Farm Reported in Excellent
State of Preservation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUFFALO, N Y, December 19.-The
Buffalo Museum of Science yesterday
received word from DR. John T. San
ford, one of its representatives, that re-
moval of the skeleton Of mastodon
discovered recently on the farm Of
Charles Feldheiser near Cornwall, Ind,
had been started. The skeleton has
been purchased for the Buffalo museum.
The mastodon, DR.. Sanford said, is In
an excellent state of preservation. Two
ivory tusks are 1912 feet each in length
and the skull has 26 teeth still imbedded
in the jawbones. The skeleton is ap-
proximately As feet long.
DR.. Sanford believes the mastodon
was deposited in Indiana by a glacier
more than 80, 900 years ago. The glacier
formed pothole, into which the ami
NAL probably fell. The hole apparently
contained mud of the consistency of
quicksand, and it is due to this fact the
bones we're preserved in their entirety.

PARIS POLICE TO GIVE
BLIND WHITE CANES
Sticks to Be Used to Signal Traffic
When Sightless Desire to
Cross Street.

PARIS (N.A.N.A) A simple but
clever idea TO enable blind men TO cross
the dangerous streets Of Paris is the
introduction of the project of police.
The prefecture will issue to every
blind man a white walking stick and
motorists will be instructed to slow
down or stop when this Is raised TO
signal that its owner wishes TO cross
the road.
It Is hoped that when the white stick
has become generally recognized the
blind will get about more easily in
crowded places. To prevent the mis-
use of the symbol of inscriptions
persons it is proposed that the police
should supply the blind with sticks
bearing a numbered band, the carriage
of which would be an offenSe for any
one but the owner.

Favorably to Liberations.

MONTREAL (N.AN.A.J. - Rev. Dr.
Lloyd G. Douglas, pastor of st. Janis
Church, addressing the Young Peoples

Intoxication is strictly forbidden by
the native religion. but when the ex-
plorer, Capt. Cook, according TO DR..
Douglas, introduced rum to them, they
took TO it like a duck takes to water.
Drunkenness became an Oahuan Gus
tom, and When they suffered none of
the traditional punishment supposedly
due them for violation of their ligious
tab0oS. said DR. Douglas they decided
their old religion was no god and took
to Christianity.
