BIZ United Press
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 21.-At At,
IL AL Jolson has "a couple of
million and wonderful wife" so
he's going to spend the rest of his
life in comfort and ease.
He announced his retirement
from the screen, effective on date
of completion Of his current con-
tract.
What's the use of worrying
about picture work if you've got a
couple of million and wonderful
wife?" sighed the nanny singer.
When this picture is completed
I'm going to travel and enjoy life" ="
AS a success he has had all of
it he wants, Jolson admitted.
ITS very strenuous, you know,
to be a picture star" said he.
I've had fame, glamor and sue
cess, but after a man passes forty
they don't seem to mean the same
as when he's younger

TISSUE EXTRACT
BEING TESTED TO
COMBAT CANCER
Method May Check TumOrS
Resulting From Dis
ease.

pr Science SCrffce
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Nov. I'll
Certain types Of csncerous tumors
have their growth checked by the
injection OF an extract made from
normal growing animal tissues. At
the meeting Of the National Acad-
envy Of Sciences here today, DR..
James p Murphy Of the Rocke-
feller Institute for Medical Re
search. New York. told Of the latest
work on this substance, whose
effects are partially known but
whose chemical composition is still
wholly in the dark. DR.. Murphy
has worked with tumors in mice and
his research is not yet ready for
application TO human cases.
The tumor- r-inhibiting substance
has been found in tumors them
selves, and an inhibitor, which may
be the same thing or may be a
different substance producing SINH
lar results. also has been found in
placental tissues and embryo skin.
When these normal tissue fraC-
tions were used on natural or spOn-
taneous cancer of mice, their in
hibiting action is evident not only
on local post-operative occurrences
of the disease and on the growth
of autografts where there is direct
contact between the extract and the
cancer cells. but definitely is OBJ
servable when the test fluids are in
jected at distance from estab-
lished tumOrs, said DR.. Murphy
While the results seem to sub
stantiate the suggestion that the
inhibitOr from tumors is similar to
the balancing factor of normal
tissues. and would give a possible
insight into the mechanism in
volved in malignancy, the materials
involved are too complex to Justify
a conclusion at the present time"

Scully Eulogizes
 Late Senator
Tells Sodality That Life of Walsh Furnishes Pattern
 For American Youth

A brief eulogy on the late Sem ator Thomas Walsh whose recent death shocked the nation, was de- livered by Attorney Vincent A. Scully at g. meeting of the Mems Sodality of Our Lady of Lourdes church in the parish hall last eve- ming. Attorney Scully pointed to the life of Senator Walsh as a per- feet model for the youth of Amer ica to follow, explaining that he rose from poverty in boyhood to be listed as one of Americas great men.
 Senator Walsh was fearless and had the courage of his convictions. Attorney Scully said, pointing out as an excellent illustration his con- duct of the famous Teapot Dome oil scandal, which brought dis grace to prominent men, several of whom were friends of the late sen- ator. Attorney Scully said Senator Walsh was considered one of the strongest appointees in President Roosevelt's cabinet and that his death means tremendous loss, not only to the president but the nation as whole.
 Attorney Scully dwelling briefly on the Sodality, spoke of the ad- vantages of such an organization, particularly the importance of the public speaking and religious dis cussion group. He urged the young men to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by the Sodality through it's teams system to develop the power of self ex- presison by taking a keen interest in its activities.
 Arrangements were made for general communion and commun-

Car to Car
 Accident Ratio
Fifty Per Cent of Smashes Come Within
 Bracket

On1y a few more than one-half of the 1892 motor vehicle accidents involved collisions of moving cars with other moving cars; only 1000 of the more than 14,000 accidents were caused when moving cars hit parked vehicles. The other 50 per cent of the accidents were cases of moving automobiles striking ob- jects other than motor vehicles, in- cluding 3,092 pedestrians, or in- stances of accidents which did not involve collisions, a bulletin of the department of motor vehicles says to-day.
 Pedestrians had a slightly better chance of escaping death in 1852 than in the previous year, for where 7.7 per cent of those struck in 1881 died, last year the fatali- ties from these accidents were at the rate of 6.7 per cent.
 Of the accidents in which cars struck objects other than motor vehicles, there were 1,741 which ran into trees, poles, hydrants, bridges and similar items of the physical makeup of the roadside development. There were 2S1 cases of cars running into trolleys and 223 into bicycles. Automobiles in 29 cases collided with trains and 91 others hit teams. Ninety-six animals were reported hit by cars
 In the no-collision type of acci- dent there were 324 cases of over turning There were 77 cases of persons struck because they were careless in boarding or leaving ve- hicles
 In the collision between vehicles class, sideswiping was the greatest single cause of accidents but with 2,280 such accidents there were only IS fatalities whereas with 699 head-on collisions there were 20 deaths There were 2,18S front against side accidents with 22 deaths. the greatest fatality record for these types of collisions, and 1925 rear-end accidents with nine deaths
 The improved traffic perform ance of juveniles is shown in the years figures There was de- crease of 159 accidents in which cars struck child pedestrians in total of 1882 but in the case of adults, there was a decrease of only 82 in a total for 1892 of .1.710

The Career of
 Maria KurenkO
Russian COlOratura SO=
 pranO Will Sing in This City March 30

Few artists have ever scored a success so quickly as did Maria Kurenko, the Russian coloraturo soprano, when she first arrived in l this country. To-day, after seven years before the American public,
 her popularity is permanent and assured.
 Maria Kurenko was born fin Tomsk, Russia. When she was a small child, her father, quite a prosperous man, lost all of his
 money, and at ten years little
 Maria was contributing to the support of the family. Every Sat- urday and Sunday she sang in the chorus of the Orthodox cathedral, for which she was paid twenty five roubles a week, at that time worth a little over twelve dollars. And soon the news of her singing spread and people came from all over Siberia to hear the ten year old Maria who twas chosen to ad- dress to the Divinity the prayers of thousands of people because she was pure at heart and had a gold en voice." Later she studied music with the famous Professor Mazetti at the Moscow conservatory.
 She began her vocal career with a sensational debut at the opera house in Moscow, thirteen years ago.
 America was the next step. Her first transcontinental tour created furore, established her at once as an artist of the first rank. In the seven years since Mime Kur- enko has been in this country she has sung almost 300 concerts, has appeared as guest soprano with the Chicago Civic Opera company has been reengaged every winter for well known radio hours.
 Maria Kurenko sings here on Thursday evening, March 30, at the Waterbury Women's club, under the auspices of the Community Concert Course of Waterbury, Inc.
