A STUPID Game

NTOW, obviously, this is a game
~ which can have no other end
but Stalemate. There can be no
useful balance for mankind. Every
possible profit In love is eaten away
by an accompanying item of hate.
But DR. Freud ought to see a way
out of this deadlock Even though. we
grant the fundamental and even
reviYipg. nature of hate, 1t need. not
be squandered on indecisive battle
fields. - ~
Man, under pressure, has the
capacity to play fantastic and use
full games. The flag, for instance,
is an interesting example of the way
in which humanity manages to make
an inanimate thing take on the glory
Of personality and existence.
1t is by no means impossible to
blare us all into active and heart
warming hatred against abstract
evils. Don Quixote was not mad at
all, but never saner in his life, when

Afraid of Books


When congress is discussing the terms under
which foreign foodstufs minerals shall be ad-
mitted into this country, it carefully considers the
viewpoint Of business men most directly affected.
Why then should not congress, in discussing the
terms under which foreign words and ideas shall be
admitted to this country, act upon the advice of those
whose business it is to know and deal in words and
ideas?
If such course should be adopted, the fate of

SHERMAN'S BIRTH
Feb, s

.nN Feb. 8. 1920, William Tecum-
" sch Sherman, one of the great
generals of the Civil war, was born
at Lancaster, 0.
Upon the death of his father,
who was a judge of the supreme
court of Ohio, Sherman was adopted
by Thomas Ewing, who became a
United States senator and member
of the national cabinet. Later Sher-
man married Ewing's daughter.
Sherman began his military career
at West Point at the age of 16.
Graduating near the head Of his
class, he first saw service in Florida
against the Seninoles.
He resigned from the army in
1853 to enter the banking business,
but when volunteers we're called at
the outbreak of the Civil war, he
joined the Union forces.
Appointed a colonel, Sherman
soon lost his command by making
what was considered rash sugges-
ton for the Kentucky campaign.
He later regained his prestige and
rank by courageous and success
full encounters with the Confed-
crates. Assembling his three armies
near Chattanooga, Sherman began
his famous invasion Of Georgia.
After capturing Atlanta, he made
his celebrated march to the sea"
from that city to Savannah, thus
severing the Confederate govern
ment from its western states.
When Grant became President,
Sherman was promoted to full gen.
eralship.

Of Professor Loeb.
The adrenals have occupied the
attention of medical investigators
for a. number Of years. Their exact
function is not clearly understood.
They are classed with the thyroid
and other glands which pour their
secretions directly into the blood
stream and therefore are known as
the ductless glands.
Removal Of the adrenals from an,
imals causes death In about forty.
eight hours.
The adrenals are divided into two
parts, an inner grsyish part known
as the medulla and an outer yellow
ish brown layer called the cortex.
Degeneration Of the cortex causes
a disease in human beings known
as AddiSon's disease, which is char
acterized by discoloration Of the
skin.
DR.. J. M. RogoF of the Western
Reserve university medical school,
Cleveland, has succeeded in prepar-
ing an extract from the cortex Of
the adrenals, which 1t is thought
may prove treatment for AddiSon's
disease.
Another extract, prepared from
the medulla Of the adrenals, Is used
frequently by the medical profess
sion. 1t is called adrenaIine or epi-
nephrine. 1t Is powerful stirau-
liant and is used with success In,
cases Of surgical shock.
Adrenalin increases the action of
the sympathetic nervous system and
increases the blood pressure and the
pulse rate.

DR.. Sokolof described his expe-

during the recent convention Of the
American Association for the Ad-

Iowa.
Dr.. Sokoloff said that ne had
succeeded in treating hundreds OF
cases Of cancer In rats and mice
but emphasized that he made no
claim to having a cure for cancer
in human beings.
His theory was that in cancer the
cells took on different organi-
zation from that of the ordinary
cells, demanding larger supplies OF
oxygen.
He believed that the action OF his
preparation was to furnish the can
Ger cells with so much oxygen that
they burnt themselves out Of exist
ence. The surrounding tissue, since
they lacked this abnormal greed for
oxygen, we're unaffected by the
preparation, he said.

virtually has been agreed upon.
France, though standing firm against
the abolition of submarines, seems
willing to accept limitation of their

The Italians, who threatened to

bright for the kind of agreement

may not mean so much as a war
preventive.
That would be no small achieve
ment, for this is a hard-pressed
world.
On every hand, people are suf-
fering because of the heavy load Of
debt.
It Is doubtful If there ever was
a time when governments owed so
much, or when there was such
universal disposition to pay.
The happy custom Of past ages
was to wipe the slate clean when
debts became too big.
Humanity can claim to have
made Roadway in refusing to take
advantage of that time-honored
subterfuge.

We would need pistols in time of

In other words, pistols are so
necessary in case of war, and war is
SO probable, that it would be unWise

Key to Victory Over Scourgs
of Cancer May Lie in the
Adrendl Glands.
By DAVID DIETZ

THE adrenal glands, two nttlsA
l. fattened yellowish-brown bod
les each about two-inches long,
which occur above the kdneys-one :
above each kidney-may prove to
be the key to victory over cancer.
Recent researches by medical
men in New York and San Fran.
cisco seem to indicate that an ex-.
tract prepared from these glands
may prove an effective weapon for
cancer.
1t Is too early to speak with GER
tainty and false hopes must not be
built up on the basis OF what has
been accomplished so far. But the
medical profession is watching de-
velopments with the greatest of
interest.
DR.. Boris Sokoloff, Russian SCI
enlist. while working at the Insti-
tute of Cancer Research OF Column
bia university, developed a method
for treating cancers in animals with
a preparation consisting OF a mix
ture Of an extract from the outer
layer or cortex of the adrenal gland,
an iron salt, and an organic dye
known as pyrrol blue.
DR.. Sokoloff has not yet carried
his researches to the stage where
he considers it advisable to treat
human beings by his methods.
However, q report from San Fran
cisco this week states that two ply
sicians there used an extract of the
cortex of the adrenal glands to treat
three patients IN whom cancer had
gone SO far that death was imni-
nent. They reported that the pa
tents have shown temporary i'm

Not by Love

1T seems to me profoundly true
4 that man does not live by love
alone. During the war, Americans
were more than usually kind to
each other.
OF course, this kindness did not
include Socialists and pacif1StS and
conscientious DIRECTORS. They were
all Jumped in with the Germans as
miscreants-to be hated.
Yet it is true that the widow and
the orphan received more generous
treatment while the conflict was in
progress. I am even prepared to
believe that fewer men snapped
sharply at office boys and walters
during the days of blood and bay
onetS.
Each individual here at home took
out his daily ration of hate by read
ing the newspapers. 1t was quite
easy to be at least polite to a neigh
Dor as long as the national eager
ness to hang the kaiser remained.
Complete pacifists make a mistake
in minimizing the courage, the gal
lantry, and the downright kindli-
ness which existed back in 1917 and
1918.

The death in Dannemora prison Of Oliver Curtis
Perry. one-time train robber, recalls a career that
was both violent and dangerous. but that at least
had the merit Of being picturesque.
Perry's last exploit took place in 1892. when ne
boarded the baggage car Of a train at Lyons. N. y
overpowered the train crew and took command Of The
engine. He put on speed and tried to escape. but the
police got another engine. chased him and finally
overlook him.
Then. taken to court, he was sentenced to prison
for "as long as he could see" This unusual sentence
apparently stuck In his mind; five years after being
imprisoned he tried to pick his eyes out with a
needle, hoping thereby 10 gain freedom. The only
result, however. was that he was adjudged insane
and put In solitary confinement.
Now 1t Is all over Perry was never a useful ctti-
gen. but he had. at any rate. a picturesque history.
