BLOOD STUDY
MAY help IN
CANCER FIGHT
Findings Of Doctor Point
Way to New Line of
Attack.

fcopvriqht. 1881 BY Science service)
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-Studies
which may lead to control Of cancer
have been reported here By Or.
Ellice Mcdonald, director Of cancer
research, University Of Pennsyl-
vania, and his associates, Gladys E.
Woodward, Janetta w. Schoonover,
Edith G. Fry and Edward G. Tor
rance.
The blood of patients with I'M
treated cancer is more alkaline than
normal. they found.
The greater the alkalinity, the
quicker the disease kills" said DR..
Mcdonald.
Alkalinity Is Affected
Treatment. by x-ray or radium.
which may cure or at least retard
the disease, affects the alkalinity of
the blood
These observations, reported in the
forthcoming issue Of the Journal of
Laboratory and Clinical Medicine,
indicate that in the condition of the
blood may be found a means Of pre-
dieting the course Of the disease and
the success Of treatment. Likewise
q new method Of treatment may be
developed.
The important point is that en-
monumental conditions outside the
cell influence the course of the
disease" Or. Mcdonald commented.
Cell Growth Is Abnormal
Cancer is a disease in which cell
growth is abnormal. Cancer cells
have been called wild cells because
Of their cratic growth. Scientists
have been studying the cells micro
scopically and with moving picture
cameras in the hope of finding what
makes some cells turn into the wild,
cancer cells. ....
1t appears from DR.. McDonald's
report that the cause of their er-
ratio growth is to be sought outside
the cell and in the surrounding It's
sues, and the blood.
1t should be understood clearly
that a cure for cancer has not yet
been discovered. However, the
studies of DR.. Mcdonald and his
associates point the way to a line
of attack which seems to be more
promising than any of the many
already tried.

GRAPE THINNING
SAID TO IMPROVE
QUALITY OF CROP

Longer pruning methods with
grape vines, accompanied by thin
ming to control the crop has in
creased the size and quality of
table grapes on the university farm
here, according TO Prof. A. j. Wink
Ter of the University of California
yiticulture division. These methods
of pruning and thinning he says.
have increased the capacity of the
vines and where the thinning has
been properly done. the quantity
and quality of the fruit has been
superior to that of similar vines on
which the crop was controlled ell
tirely by dormant pruning.
The increase in the amount of
crop is the direct result of an in
crease in the leaf area" says Pro-
fessor Winkler. while the improve
ment in quality, no doubt, results
from a better balance between the
number of clusters and the leaf
area of the vine. The regulation of
crop thinning, however, is q new
operation to most growers: hence
too much fruit has frequently been
retained on the vines"
Tests Are Made
To determine the number of
leaves required to nourish properly
ali average size cluster of the
most important varieties of table
grapes, a series of tests was start
ed in 1929, and continued last year.
In these tests, with MalagaS and
MuscatS taken as fair examples, y
uniform shoots bearing clusters
were selected on each of the l2
vines for each variety as soon as
the fruit had set.
Where the shoots were girdled.
the best results were secured with
l6 leaves to the cluster for Muscats.
and 20 for MalagaS. Fewer leaves
produced small berries and poorer
quality. However. where girdling
vas not used, it was found that 80
caves to the cluster gave best re-
suits on Malagas. An increase in

ers. gave better quality, but re-

IN low grade ore for SIS years, with

RECOGNITION DENIED
TO SALVADOR REGIME
stimson Decides Not to Approve
Martinez as President of
Republic.

BY the Associated Press
The American Government has re-
fused to recognize the revolutionary
regime of President Martinez in SAL
vador.
The State Department today in
structed the legation at San Salvador
to advise the regime it could not be
recognized under the terms Of the Gen.
trail American treaty of 1923, which
established rules for recognition in
Central America
The reasons given were that the
regime had come to power through a
revolt and had not been constitutionally
reorganized.
1t was added that, even If the gov
ernment had been constittuionally re-
organized, President Martinez could not
oe recognized under a clause barring
from the presidency persons who had
held office in the previous government.
Guatemala Honduras and Costa Rica
nave withheld recognition for the same
reason.
The decision was reached by Secretary
Stlmson after a lengthy report on the
status of the new regime from jefferson

sent to Ell Salvador recently to make an

Reports of "a hideous condition OF

chief OF Army Engineers.
After investigating the labor camps
of contractors on the C0vc.nmca. food
control job, he found this to be the
situation:
There is no evidence whatever to
show that any violence has been
offered to any man BY contractors or
contractors general agents.
The labor is working of its own
free VIII and is under no cGmpulsion
as to laoor or place of living
In soma cases labor is compelled to
purchase from cOmmiSsary as a condi-
ton of employment
The wages OF common labor are in
some cases relatively low.
The hours Of labor in isolated cases
are unreasonably long"
A further check is being made of in
div!dual cases reported by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
