method of spreading the disease. It was decided that 1t would be much safer to postpone the open- ing of the schools.
 Dr Willard Knowlton, of the state department of health, attend ed the meeting, discussed the out break and visited both hospitals where he expressed himself as be- ing well pleased at the manner in which the cases are isolated. Both hospitals have agreed to keep the patients in a separate wing and to keep them well apart from the or- dinary cases.
 He stated that postponement of the opening of the public. par ochial, and private schools is Q good preventative. Lettrs request ing such action were sent this morning to school officials of all three divisions mentioned above.
 There were reported u until yes- terday afternoon 39 active cases and several more are expected to. day. Lucille McKenna, g., of ~ Henry street, has been in the res. spirator at the St Mary's hospital for three days. Her condition while a trifle better, Is still critical
 A committee from the health board will endeavor to assist the hospitals in every way possible m caring for the infnntile paralysii cases. If necessary the isolation hospital will be opened, 1t was in- ferred by members of the health board.

SOUR MILK MAY
 AID EXPERTS IN
 WAR ON CANCER
European Scientists Take Up Discovery of St
 Louis Physician

Paris-CUP)-Sou milk con- tains the natural acid which world radioligists hope may curb and eventually cause cancer to disap- pear.
 Since the conclusion of the In- ternational Radiology congress, Eu- ropean scientists have been experi- menting with tactic acid in can cer treatment, Is advocated by the discoverer, Dr Boris Sokoloffff of the Medical School of St Louis. Mo.
 For two years, Dr Sokoloff has experimented at the Paris congress. Europena scientists were prompt to take up the work and will make the first announcement of their experiments in December.
 The tactic acid is known tech nically as "ethyl-L- lactat." Thus far, the treament has been by in- jection, and Dr Sokoloff doubts whether it would be effective If absorbed as food. or in any other way. However, scientists agree that persons accustomed to taking sour milk and sour milk cheeses might be aided in cancer prevention.
 30 per Cent AbsOrbtiOn
 In an interview before starting for a holiday on the French Ri- viera, preparatory to returning 10 St Louis in October, Dr SokoloH declared that this new departure in treatment of cancer growths has resulted in 30 per cent absorbtion of the most malignant form or cancer-tumor, "Sarcoma 18O," com mon in mice and that the remain ing 70 percent of cases saw the growth stopped and the disease re- main stationary.
 Dr Sokoloff explained that can cer is a strong multiplication or cells.
 Ut long has been known In med icine that the body eliminates iac- tic acid through all it's parts, but the biological significance of this fact was not known" Dr Sokoiolf said. "These recent experiments showed that tactic acid is preveny tative element in the body, in that it discourages the multiplication of cells. f..
 "A very small quantity. or It placed on yeast prevents this un- usually rapidly growing organism from developing at all. The same is true in the case of protozoa or unicelluar organisms.
 Mice Aided
 Applying this inhibitive inhu- ence of tactic acid on cellular growth proved to be extremely sat- isfactory, and when the mast resist ant form of cancer tumor in mice was given an allitional taertment of radium, the cures reached 70 per cent.
 "Further experiments showed that mice, treated to subcutaneous infections of tactic acid during a period of 20 days. were rendered immune to cancer. The great ad- vantage of this treatment IS that dactic acid can be introduced into the body in great quantities With out any detrimental effects, thus facilitating the treatment. Another interesting discovery was that sub jects afflicted with cancer have less tactic acid in their blood than the healthy being"
 Dr Sokoloff pointed out that the results of this discovery in the treatment of cancer tumors in the human being can not yet be stated definitely, as this part of the work is still in the experimental stage.

PLIERS SPEED
 OVER AIRWAYS
 TO CLEVELAND
Sweepstakes Under Way With $25,OOO in Prizes
 to Winners
BY LEO F. BARON United Press Staff COrreSpOndent

Cleveland, (UP)-America's air lanes were clogged to-day with hosts of flying craft that were speeding towards Cleveland for the opening of the National Air Races August 29.
 The country's greatest annual air spectacle was attracting some of the worlds most famous bird men, who, joined by hundreds of the lesser known, will battle for $100,000 in prize money.
 Already the struggle for cash awards and fame was in progress, with more than a score of flyers winging their way eastward in the transcontinental sweepstakes dash which means more than $25.000 to the men and women winners. The race is scheduled to end Sunday.
 5O,OOO Expected Daily
 Air race officials and police are prepared to handle daily crowds of 50,00O. Stands have been erect ed on the west side of the Cleve- land airport to handle the spec tators, whose thrills will be pro- voked by morning, afternoon and evening exhibitions of stunt, speed and formation flying.
 Representatives of many foreign countries are entered in the 39 events scheduled. Many are pi- lots who bear scars from the great war. Others are youths whose wings were won on peactime air. ways. Great Britain has one of it's ranking feminine flyers entered in Miss Winifred F. Spooner, who placed third in the Kings Cup race in 1928 and eighth in 9 4.O00 mile dash around Europe two years later.
 Canada is to send the famous Siskin flight of the k. A. E. to head the Trans Canada Air pag- ant for a one-day visit next Fri day. The pageant is composed of some fifteen planes owned by mebers of numerous Canadian fly ing clubs. In deference to the Canadian visitors, the day has been set aside as Canadian day.
 Three War Services
 The three branches of service the army, the navy and the ma rines-represent official America in the ten-day carnival. Crack sauadrons from each branch nave been ordered here. Comercial air lines are represented by their stel- lar pilots. Then there are scores of unattached pilots, who will make spirited bids for prizes. Feminine ranks are represented by the nations best.
 Speed, a naturally essential at tribute, vii be displayed in many new plane models which will be exhibited. The autogyros will typ fly a comparatively new phase of aeronautics. And for the maudlin thrill-seeker there will be multipl parachute jumping and dazzling feats of stunt-flying that forecast almost inevitable crackups.

INTO THE DEBTS OF SPACE XVII, Back To the Earth

When Paul remarked that ne had grown homesick for the earth other members of the party made similar statements.
 And I miss my friends in gooo old Philadelphia" said Roger Dunn
 Marlene Elson missed her friends in Germany. Professor Richardson did not mention it, but he was lonesome for England, and said the astronomer:
 q think we shall be making our way back to the earth very soon. .
 1T am sorry to hear it,, replied Holan, but I understand how you must feel. Your visit to the planet Pala has cheered us all. We have learned things we did not known before, and we hope we have given you knowledge of value."
 "Indeed you have given us lknowledge" exclaimed Richardson "The people of this planet have been so kind to us all through"

 "Fine! Fine" cried the Rocket Folk. "Eevryone on earth will be glad to see you! From now on there may be frequent trips be- tween our planets!"
 The days which followed were filled with the excitement of mak- ing ready. People of the planet were helpful in preparing the tun- mel and launching pparatus needed for the start. Scientists figured the position of the sun, and the prob able position of the earth. The proper angle of launching was worked out. Fresh food was placed aboard the rocket. The air ma chine, the water machine and the atom engine were oiled up. At last came the moment of de- parture. A great crowd gathered and waited at a safe distance from the rocket. Cheers went up from time to time. Holan and Wedee bade good-by to their friends with a great noise. the rocket start ed on it's return journey. Far. far ahead in time--in the year 3036- the Rocket Folk landed safely on the planet earth.
 In the thump of their landing we must awaken from our dream story and come back to the pres- ent day.

A decided increase in vacation travel to the. western states is re- ported for the present touring sea son by Samuel A. Moyle, president of the Connecticut Motor club
 Mir Moyle said that he based his statement on figures obtained through inquiries made to the American Automobile association travel bureaus at key points throughout the country, particular ly in the large centers of popula- ton in the east.
 "Compliations made from these inquiries" he said, present a cheering outlook from the stand point of those catering to vacation motor travel in the west, some clubs reporting as much as a 50 percent increase in the number of inquiries" While motorists on the whole are shortening the vaca- ton tour" he said, "the increase in the tide of motor travel to the west may be largely attributed 60 the low cost of touring the Nation al Parks, improved motor services in the western states and the large road building programs now un- der way"

When Michael Cardozza, 3S, of 254 Abbott avenue invested a dol lar in the alleged purchase of a box of cigars valued at $4.9O wholesale, he made a bargain in hard luck. He was fined $25 and costs this morning in police court on the charge of receiving stolen goods. An appeal to the court of common pleas was taken by Attorney John H. Cassidy. coun- sel for the accused, who claimed that the state had failed, accord ing to q recent supreme court de- cision, to prove that the accused had any knowledge that the goods had been stolen, had offered no testimony that deliberate attempt had been made to conceal the ci- gars, and had not presented corro- borative evidence of these facts as demanded by the ruling.
 Attorney Cassidy's motion for a discharge was denied by Judge T. V. Meyer, who stated that Detec- tive Connie" Shannahan's testl- mony, was sufficient to convince him that Cardozza knew that the

STRONG APPEAL
 FOR CLOTHING
Urgent Need of Wearing Apparel for Men, Wom.
 en, and Children
MANY NEEDY FAMILIES

There is no reason why it should be necessary to urge citizens who have clothing to spare to see that 1t Is turned over to the differ ent agencies engaged in caring for needy families. It is true, perhaps, that many have not felt the hard times and on this account they may not be aware of how the dull per- iod has hit people who have been on short time and in some in- stances out of employment alto- gether the past year, but if there are any such it might be well to remind them that the situation de- mands immediate and concerted action in order that there may be as little suffering as possible.
 Waterbury has always made a generous response to an appeal for aid, whether for its own citizens or human beings in other places, and 1t is but reasonable to believe tha: 1t will not fail to maintain its repu- tation on this occasion. Look through the house and see what you can spare in the way of shoes. clothing for men, women and chill dren and leave them at one of the fire stations, or put them out on the veranda and call the Lincoln House, or any other advertised agency and they will be removed to the distribution center and given to people who are in need of such things.
 Work of this character is going ing on most other cities, so that no- body should think that conditions are worse here than in many other industrial communities all over New England. By concerted action Waterbury can tide over the pres ent period of depression without letting anybody suffer.
