Until this move on the part of the
drys, it was believed that Oscar
Ahlgren, state representative in 1927
1929, had the edge, because he was
thought to have little opposition in
Hammond, Whiting and East Chi
cago, where he is on the North
township slate. However, because of
the factional differences there, the
dopesters are giving the call to the
woman.
She was unknown to the Calumet
cities until she was entered in the
present campaign by Sam Woods, a
farmer. Like Mrs. Jenckes, she gives
an impression of dynamic energy,
they tell me.
Miss Riggs is the publisher of a
weekly newspaper at Griffith which
she founded nine years ago, is for
mer principal of Chicago public
school, university graduate, business
woman, church worker, and a stu
dent of politics.
The women are playing smart
politics down at Terre Haute in the
Republican ranks, also.
For some time there has been
strained relations between Mrs.
Noble Johnson, wife of the Repub-
lican aspirant for the congressional
nomination, and Mrs. Bertha Zim-
norman, 1929 member of the house
of representatives, who is said to
lean toward the cause of Fred Pur-
nell, candidate for denomination.
They tell me that to Keep Mrs.
Zimmerman from being the only
woman candidate for representative
on the G. o. P. ticket there, Mrs.
johnson entered as her opponent
Mrs. Walter Denehie.
When the heretofore unknown
appeared, Mrs. Zimmerman and
some of her friends did some quick
thinking and just before closing
time for the filings Mrs. Denehie
was brought here, withdrawn as a
candidate for state representative,
and relied for congress as a wet
Republican"
Thus Johnson will have moist op-
position in his own county.
Strange how quickly the women
learn the ms and outs of politics.

CICERO, Ill, April 2O.-A new

A rd-boiled Irish American
police lieutenant from Chicago be-
came chief of police and issued this
terse ultimatum to gangsters:

dose Of your own medicine. This
goes for Capone hoodlums, too"
Cicero probably is the biggest vii
lage in the world. Although it has
a polyglot population of $4,000, vii
lage government still prevails.
The suburb, which edges into the
physical pattern of Chicago on the
west, always has howled down an

Tuesday the old regime-in power
during Al Capone's gang heyday,
when Cicero was his stronghold and
his word was law-went out of Of
flee.
A new administration, headed by
Joseph G. Cerny, village president,
took hold, with big broom of roses
on exhibit in the village hall as
exemplifying the cleanup spirit.
Cerny's first official act was to
appoint as his police chief gruff-
voiced, broad-shouldered, 46-year-
old Lieutenant John L. Sullivan, for
twenty years a Chicago policeman.
Sullivan, who has won commend
alton for his work on many impor-
tant Chicago criminal cases, includ-
ing those involving gangSters, said:
I'm going out there and clean
that place up" he said. 81 don't

Developments of the last few days

which stops growth of finger or arm
at Just the right size.
It is not thus far identified with the
well known growth hormone" secreted
BY the pituitary gland and prescribed
by physicians.
Second Important Clue.
IT is the second important clue found
recently at the institute in a search
for something that might control wild
growth of cancer Only its cancer ef-
ment, which is made in Science, oficial
organ of the American Association for

The first discovery was a growth in

Then one time, rather Unexpectedly. it
was found also to inhibit mouse can
Ger.
This suggested the possibility OF
growth inhibitors in healthy flesh.
Search for them was begun in normal
mice embryos. None was found in the
embryo generally. But the skin and
the placenta carried one.
InhibitOr in Fluid.
These parts were dried to crumbling,
soaked in water and the fluid drawn
of. In this fluid was the inhibitor,
thus far identified only by its effects.
1t retarded growth in about so per

The reason for success in one case
and failure in the other is not dis

nature of the mechanism involved in
