EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND CARE
is NEEDED IN CANCER CASES
No Positive Tests for Determining Condition Have
Been Established in Medicine So Far

surgeons show definitely at least 10
per cent or more lives saved when
the diagnosis = made early and the
treatment applied, than can be saved
when there is considerable delay in
action.
It Is now possible to save . con-
siderable percentage of women who
suffer with cancer Of the reproduc-
tive organs, the methods Of treat
ment including both the use Of the
knife for surgical removal and the
use Of X-ray and Of radium. Re-
gardless OF the method used, how
ever, early diagnosis and treatment
is far more important than the meth
Cd Of treatment applied.
Cancer of the stomach is one Of
the most serious forms Of cancer. Un-
fortunately, the great fatality in this
condition is due largely to the fact
that people wait SO long before hav-
ing anything done. There is a rea-
sonable chance of benefit in cancer
OF the stomach and of the bowels II
operation Is performed early. The
diagnosis is dependent on careful
chemical tests Of the secretions and
on the use of the X-ray.
Finally, cancer of the breast in
women must be given prompt con-
sideration. Any growth in the breast
is important. If there is bleeding
from the breast, an immediate ex-
animation may be life saving. If
there is q growth that IS painful and
does not move, it is likely to be can
Ger. Only q competent physician who
is thoroughly familiar with such con.
ditions can make the diagnosis In the
individual case.

New York, Oct. 1e.-One Of synco-
pation-land's golden phenoms IS
Meyer Davis, the "ork pilot',-or or
chestra leader; It you prefer.
At 81, Davis Is something Of q ].
P. Morgan OF jazz. He has made his
fiddle and . little sound business
sense pile him up about $3000 900 or
more. And growing every minute.
Rudy Vallee, to be sure, has q mil
lion or 50 tucked away. And Raul
Whiteman need not worry about the
mortgage, II any, on the old Colorado
rancho.
But Davis has q little story oil his
own. While others were building
their regulations in night resorts,
concert halls and such, he got the
notion that there would Be "big
money! in catering to the swapky
and exclusive social set. After iii,
they had plenty Of money! And he
was right. Within the last few years
he has played tor the Goulds, the
Whitneys, the Macksys, the Otto
Kahps, the puPonts, the Dukes, the
Rockefellers and most Of the Who's
Who. He got the notion that If there
could be chain stores, there could
also be "chain bands" At the mo-
ment he has something like lis bands
playing in all parts Of the universe.
just a few months ago he appeared
at a party given by Ralph strassbur-
ger, Philadelphia puhlisher, and is
said to have received 2 check for
$lo,ooo-just for . few hours.

But that's getting 2 bit ahead of
the story! There's an interesting be-
ginning:
At 20, Meyer Davis was q student
at George washington university. He
was working his way through COL
lege after the best traditions of the
Alger stories. His first Job consisted
Of tipping sermons for one Of the town
clergymen. Then he got 81 per-
formance, ttddling in town orches-
ira.

Physicians emphasize the impor-
tance Of early diagnosis Of cancer for
its reliaf and cure. Men are at work
ia laboratories trying to find out
chemical means Of diagnosis and try
ing to find tests Of the blood and Of
the tissues that will enable the max
ing ora diagnosis sooner than IS now
possible. When these tests are found,
it will be possible to attack the can
Ger much earlier than IS now the
case. Unfortunately, none Of the
tests thus far offered, including the
Bendien test, Of which newspapers
have had much to say in recent
months, has been established as re-
liable.
The chief reliance must still be
placed on the family doctor who sees
the patient first for most complaints.
Il the family doctor is to make a
diagnosis early, he will have to do
two things: ID Carefully record the
story Of the patients complaints as
it Is told to him by the patient IN
response to the proper questions. (O

During q summer vacation, Davis
bummed his way westward. When
he got back, he gathered some Of his
musically inclined college pals and
showed them how they were playing
out in Frisco. And did the capital
folk arch their eyebrows.
The willard was quite the sWank-

One day q young fiddler named
Leo Reisman came looking for Job.
Davis let Reisman run his Boston

came in looking for work. Davis
turned him down because ''he looked

How strongly the Chinese feel
about the Manchurian invasion has
been indicated in news dispatches
from the Celestial Republic, by its
ambassador at the League of Ma
tions and in Bismarck by John Jung,
local laundryman and high school
student.
Jung, who is 18, is a member cf a
Chinese patriotic society and recent
ly received a poster from headquar-
ters calling upon him and others in
sympathy with the homeland to boy
colt Japanese-made goods.
Only three years away from China,
although the son of an Americau
citizen, Jung says he knows the en-
tire nation is inflamed and indig-
nant at the injustices Japan is al
legged to have wrought.
The poster says in part:
"Our country has been invaded.
Japan has broken the law of ma
tions and violated the sovereign
ty of China. Her attack Of Muk-
den, capital of Manchuria, on
Saturday, September 19, 1881, Is
a crime against civilization. For
Japan thus to break the peace,
in direct violation of the Kellogg
anti-war pact, makes her an out
law among nations.
Japan claims that Chinese
soldiers blew up a bridge on the
South Manchurian railway at
Peitaying, three miles from Muk-
den. No definite proof of this
has yet been offered. But on this
flimsy pretext, she invaded and
occupied all of South Manchu-
ria"
Now Jung, in truly patriotic fash
ion, is looking around for some Japa-
nese product against which he can
practice q one man boycott.
It is upon such things that wars
are based.

For and Against Beer
(NeW York TimeS)

Multitudinous voices cry for beer.
One argument is directed AZ the
farmers. Think of how much grain
went to the making of fermented
liquors. Seductive statistics have
been spread upon the record. Surely
the farmers must welcome this pow
erful subsidiary stream of relief. But
they have been able to restrain their
enthusiasm. The executive commit
tee of the National Grange has stud
led the matter. It declares that beer
will not help, but hurt. According
to the Granger economists, since 1917
"the consumption of dairy products
alone increased 242.7 pounds per cap
ita in terms Of milk equivalent" The
grain used to make this immensely
risen quota Of butter, cheese, ice
cream and so on was about three
times as much as was used by the
beer and ale makers in 1917. Be-
sides. twenty five billion pounds of
roughage were required.
There has been much greater de-
nland for eggs and dairy products in
the making OF bread, cake, candy,
pastry. If this increase should be
checked by the restoration of the
brewing industry, agriculture would
suffer "a tremendous loss," in the
opinion of. the committee. Beer Is
food. Necessarily it will compete
with other foods. We leave it to the
sophisters, economists and calcula-
tors to fight about the figures and
the conclusions set forth by the com.
mittee. Our purely impersonal inter.
est in the matter is that the repre-.
sentatives of a powerful society o.
farmers regard beer renaissance a:
9 heightener, not lepitiye, of agri'
cultural depression.

The Final Thirty

Thirty" has been written to the
active life of Carl Nelson, widely
known newspaperman who died IN
Bismarck Wednesday.
AS all acquainted with the print
ing craft know, thirty marks the
end of the period Of labor when the
cares of the day are done and rest is
at hand. For Carl Nelson, Wednes-
day was the last thirty" for worth
while citizen.
Nelson was widely known among
his fellows in the newspaper craft
as man with firm convictions and
the spirit of crusader. In a pro-
fession where the tendency is to grow
cynical, he could always arouse en-
thusiasm for a cause which to him
seemed just. A vigorous fighter for
what he conceived to be right, he
nevertheless set worthwhile ex-
ample to others in that he never
descended to the mean and petty
things with which great profession
often has been tainted. He dealt In
principles, not in personalities.
Honest, faithful and conscientious
Nelson often disregarded his own
personal interests to fulfill what h
regarded as his duty to a sQc!etj
which he strove in many ways X
better, even though society was moi
always responsive to his urgings
toward a higher development.
His many friends in the newspaper
and other businesses will miss hi'
cheerful smile and his friendly at
titude. They sorrow as they write
the final Thirty" after his name.
