cancer Of the skin and heart, has
made available a mass Of new mate
rial for cancer researches.
Some causes of the disease which
formerly were scarcely suspected,
are said to have been discovered
through experiments or small ro-
dents. Among other experiments the
backs Of the mice have been painted
with tobacco tar to ascertain whe-
ther smoking causes malignant tu-
mors OF the mouth. but no case Of
malignant tumor has resulted.
The report says that the death
rate from the disease would be
substantially reduced If people took
full advantage OF radium treatment
The report revealed use OF war
time mustard gas in combating the
disease. It was stated that "the in
duction OF tumors Is inhibited when
mustard gas is applied 10 CT area

painting with tar"
The report also said mustard gas
seems TO be the first true anti-car-
cinaganic agent ever discovered"
Action OF the gas was explained as
being localized TO the particular
area under treatment and its cure
TO be strictly limited in time. but
none the less on that account a re-
markable cure"

RustLers Nou, Hunted
Dopvn By Airplane
By William TurnboW

United Press Staff Correspondent
PHOENIX, Ariz., July 3 U.P0
The progress of civilization is
slowly abolishing the chief worry
of western cattlemen-the rustler.
Although there are still evidences
Of cattle rustling in the Copper
State, Arizona Sanitary Livestock
Board officials are undaunted and
have found a way to at least find
stolen cattle, if not the marauders.
Recently two airplanes went on a
secret mission to northeastern Apa-
che county-their business and des-
tination not revealed at the take
off. Upon return, pilots of the planes
reported locating several herds Of
stolen cattle, in the secluded Sec
tions of Apache county.
Theft of herd of 100 cattle from
a large ranch in that county was
reported to Hoyt Medlar, secretary
of the state livestock sanitary board.
The rustlers had been trailed, but
the posse was unable to traverse
the treacherous trails leading into
the haven of the band of cattle
thieves.
The planes were sent to scout the,
unsettled area Although the pilots
did not find that herd, they tliscov-
cred several herds, which previous
ly had been reported stolen.
These stray bands were rounded
up by livestock inspectors and ia
ken to st. Johns where owners will
be allowed to identify them. Some
Of the brands are distinglilshable,
but others are narred.
Cattle that cannot be identified.
NTedlar said, will be sold at auction
by the state. He believed the herd
