characteristics of such systems as we

This introduction of the atomic
theory of chemistry into biology not
only brings into one system a large
number of hitherto unrelated observa-

direct investigation of such problems

animals associated with changes of

YOUNG SCIENTISTS
MAKE CANCER CELL
Laboratory Worker and Wife Be-
lieved to Have Discovered I'm
portant Step to Cure.
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, January IA young
laboratory worker and his wife at the
Johns Hopkins School of M. dicine have
reached, scientists here believe, the goal
of numerous other research workers
the artificial cultivation Of the cancer
cell.
Experiments of more than q year,
conducted by Mr.. and Mrs. George o.
Gey Of Pittsburgh, have succeeded to
such degree that motion pictures have
been taken of the cells growing and
moving under glass. These are to be
shown at a meeting next Wednesday at
Washington of the newly organized
National Institute of Health.
Laboratory cultivation of the cell of
the mysterious disease means, it was
pointed out, q long stride taken toward
cure OF cancer. Under present condi-
tions it Is possible to study the actual
nature of the bathing malady only
when the cells are growing in q human
or animal body.
The experiments were conducted
under guidance of DR. Warren H Lewis,
anatomist and cytologlst, who has been
studying the effects of cancer on ami
mails in the hope of learning more of
its nature.
In advance of the official announce
AAACAAbs W NC tLle
meeting, none of the Johns Hopkins
officials would permit his name to be
used, but privately gave assurance
that the GeyS apparently have sue
ceeded where scores of other scientists
have failed. With characteristic scien-
tific conservatism, however, they pointed
out that the experiments have yet TO
pass the tests that only time can give.
Gey, a graduate Of the University of
Pittsburgh, in the class OF 1921, was
a student at the Johns Hopkins Medi-
cal School the following year. His
wife, his active assistant, is a graduate
nurse. The chief present means of
attacking cancer is the X-ray and
surgery.
The Johns Hopkins scientists said to-
day that the Gey experiments may pro-
vide the basis for the development Of
diferential stain, long sought by
pathologists, to show upon applica-
ton whether q tumor is malignant.
Such a stain is now a weapon in the
treatment of tuberculosis. Progress in
the development of a stain, or dye, for
cancer, recently was announced by
DR.. Joseph Colt Bloodgood Of Johns
Hopkins.

Prepared!

Prepare!
AS a young man out Of en-
ployment what are you doing
to prepare yourself for a bet
ter job or to become more
proficient in the line you have
followed?
Perhaps lack of education
has already proved a handicap.
For weeks and months you
have been out Of work.
Why are you not studying?
Now is the time to accom-
plish much in an educational
way.
If you had specialized on
some certain subject you might
already have perfected your
self to the point where you
might enter another line.
Or you might get yourself
ready to fill a higher position
in that line you followed before
you had to stop work.
You cannot know too much
about the details of your job.
The better you know details,
the higher you can climb.
Luck is not the only factor
that puts men in high positions.
The head man has to know
his job thoroughly and be able
to lead others.
If you are out of work, study
to make your services worth
more to your employers-to-be,
and to yourself when times
change for the better and there
is more work to do.
If you work and study
diligently you will prepare
yourself to hold a better job
than you have ever filled.

Don't Judge love by what it
does to your pulse

DOES TO YOUR LIFE.
Any trivial infatuation can
quicken your pulse
BUT UNLESS 1T ALSO
QUICKENS YOUR LIFE 1T IS
BAD MEDICINE.
You have been living along.
Just living along. Suddenly a
new face startles you-a new
voice thrills you-the familiar
scene is changed. What is this
glamour. this glitter, this gleam
that gilds the dingy street
the dusty air?-Why this sud-
den perfume of musk and hello
thrope? Was that burst Of
scarlet always there, against the
old gray wall? Who is that
laughing - down that Uttered
alley? Why are lids so heavy
sweet? Why are your heels so
dancing 1gnL?
IS 1T LOVE?
Maybe.
Boredom Or Bad Gin
Or maybe it's boredom. or
bad gin. Stick too long in the
same old rut and any new lad
or lass may cause an earth
quake. Jaded bodies and minds
do amazing things when they
run amuck. Do exactly the
same things to you that alcohol
or morphine and strychnine do.
If you drank it from a bottle,
you'd KNOW it was only a jag.
But, seeing it walking around in
J nifty tweeds or clinging chif-
fons, you're sure it's Love.
But be careful! Life will
hold you strictly accountable
if you mix your diagnoses. And
never forget for a moment that
Life has first say. You can, at
a pinch, do without Love. But
