CANCER RESEARCH
IS RESUMED HERE
Glover and EngIe Work on
Micro Organism Pro-
duction Theory.

After bringing about successfully a
cancerous growth in a guinea pig by
a micro-organism obtained from a
cancer patient, as announced by the
Public Health Service a year ago,
Drs. T. J. Glover and j. L. Engle are
pursuing further research along the
same line at the National Institute
of Health here.
Although considerable skepticism
was expressed at the time, it was the
Judgment of Public Health Service
experts that the two experimenters,
who are not members of the Public
Health Service staff. but are working
with its laboratory facilities, had un-
doubtedly produced a case of malig-
nant tumor. The result was an
nounced on its merits, with no impli-
cation as to whether the neoplasm
might not have resulted incidentally.
To settle the question requires a great
deal of experimentation.
The work has not reached a stage
where any further progress can be an
nounced, it was explained at the Ma
tional Institute of Health. Even If it
should be proved beyond question that
one kind of cancer was produced by
a micro-organism. these experts ex-
plain, MEDICAL science would be little
nearer an understanding of the funda-
mental causes of such growths or to a
cure for them.
1t is now generally believed that
cancers have many causes-or rather
that there are many factors which
may serve to set off" the underlying
causes of the ungoverned cell pro-
liberation. Some may be due to micro
organisms, some to irritation. some to
possible deficiencies in diet and some
to contacts with such substances as
coal tar.

SPEEDING TRAFFIC
URGEDBY CITIZENS
North Capitol Association
Requests Changes in
Light Timing.

Timing Of trafic lights to speed
trafflc was advocated by the North
Capitol Citizens Association last
night.
Guy w. Numbers, who prepared
the resolution adopted, favored a plan
like the one in New York, where all
east-west traf1c in the city moves
at the same time while the north and
south traffc Is stopped, and vice
versa. This. he said, would eliminate
constant stopping and starting neces-
STATED by the present system of traf-
fic lights.
This suggestion. and others includ-
ing better placing Of street signs 50
they will be more visible at night,
prohibiting Of angle parking Of large
trucks, and strict enforcement of ex-
isting regulations. were included In
the resolution, which also opposed the
all-night parking ban. The associa-
tons opinion on the parking ban had
| been asked by William A. Van Duzer,
| traffic director, but the committee
which prepared the report felt the
other suggestions were more import
! ant.
Committee Given Authority.
The Playground Committee was
given authority to act for the associa-
ton in having the proper authority
keep children from the playground
at Gage School after it has been
locked.
Action on the opening or removing
from the map of First street north
| east. from @ street to Rhode Island
avenue, was referred to the Zoning
Committee. A number Of property
owners affected signed a petition for
paving of this street, and it was pre-
sented to the Commissioners through
the association, but when the signers
learned 1t would be necessary to as
sess them for any improvement made,
the petition was withdrawn.
Jesse Morgan, secretary Of the as
sociation, reported receiving a letter
| from the Commissioners advising that
the inspector Of buildings has been
instructed to call for bids for the
raIng Of an apartment building in
the first block of Rhode Island ave-
nue.. which was partially destroyed
by fire in 1882.
| Four Persons Elected.
President B. ]. McGuirl was au-
thorized to form an entertainment
committee to make plans during the
Summer for q card party or dance
to be held next Fall to raise money
to take care of some obligations of
| the association.
Four persons were unanimously
elected to membership in the group
at last nights meeting, which was
the last until the fourth Monday in
September. B. ]. McGuirl pre-
sided over the meeting, which was
held at Mckinley High School.

Astronomers Keep Watch
On Sun-Spot Cycles.
Carnegie Institution astronomers
are keeping close watch on the
progress of the new sun-spot cycle.
The largest group of these SUM-
spots, according to a report just re-
ceived here from DR.. Seth Nicholson
OF the Carnegie staff, has just slipped
around the western edge of the sun
Its total length was 100000 miles,
The largest spot in the group was
35, 900 miles in diameter and had a
dark center $4,000 miles across.
Although larger than the average,
this one was not very active while
visible on the solar disk, and so the
earths magnetic field was not
viSibly disturbed by 1t. BY the time
the suns rotation had brought it to
the western edge all the spots of the
group had disappeared except the
large leading spot, which had
changed little In size. 1t probably
will remain on the sun for another
month or so. DR.. Nicholson believes,
in which case it will reappear at the
suns eastern edge
Sun spots are being found only in
definite zones upon the sun, chiefly
between 10 and 80 degrees on either
side Of the equator, occasionally near
the equator itself and sometimes up
to 40 degrees latitude, but never near
the poles. A peculiar relation be-
tween their latitude and the time of
their occurrence seems to exist, DR..
Nicholson said. The spots belonging
to a new cycle appear at the outer
limits of the zones, and as the cycle
progresses they are found nearer and
nearer to the solar equator
1T has been observed at Mount
Wilson," DR.. Nicholson says, that
whenever a minimum of sun spot
activity approaches. the few spots
that appear are in two zones of lati-
tude between S and 10 degrees on
either side of the solar equator, but
that before a minimum Is actually
reached spots of a new cycle begin
to appear farther away from the
equator, usually between the lati-
tudes IS and 35 degrees.

Freezing at 3,57l degrees Fahren.

Freezing at 3,57l degrees Fahren-
heit.
Such is the temperature just an
nounced by the Bureau Of Standards
as the freezing joint Of the metallic
element rhodium, member of the
platinum family. whose chief use is
for the hardening of steel. It is the
temperature at which rhodium
changes from liquid to a solid, Just
as 80 degrees Fahrenheit Is the point
at which water changes from a liquid
to a solid.
The Bureau Of Standards physicists
are trying to determine the solidifying
temperatures of the various elements
! with great precision, but in the case
| Of rhodium they encountered excep-
tional difficulties. When it was
melted it absorbed gases. When it
was solidified again these gases were
released violently, resulting in the
, smashing of the crucible used in the
experiment. 1t finally was neces-
sary to melt and freeze the element
in vacuum.
Experiment Seeks Color
Temperature Scale.
The bureaus rhodium freezing ex-
pertinent was undertaken in the es-
tablishment for the first time of a
standard color temperature scale. by
which the heat of radiating object
can be determined by the color of the
light it emits.
"It is matter of common expert
ence," says the account Of this
standard temperature scale, that
when electric lights burn dimly, as
a flashlight does when the batteries
are nearly exhausted, the light is not
only DINNER but redder than when
the batteries are new. If the voltage
applied to an electric light is raised
slowly, the filament will at first ap-
pear red, then yellow, and so on,
until the color corresponding to the
full voltage is reached.
1T Is useful to have a numerical
scale by which these colors can be
specified. The color of the light
emitted by small hole in a furnace
at uniform temperature depends only
on the temperature of the furnace.
The method used, therefore, is to
operate furnace at a uniform tenn
perature and then change the voltage
applied to a tungsten lamp until the
color of its light matches that from
the furnace The actual temperature
of the furnace is then said to be the
color temperature Of the lamp"

RICHMOND, Va, May 29-Repre-

Republican address here today
thanking heaven that "the voice Of
Virginia in the halls of Congress is
still fearless and outspoken against
those who would tear down the Con-
Stitution and destroy the constitutional
rights and liberties of the American
people"
Il admire the courage and patriot
ism Of Senator Carter Glass, who in
the great crisis with which our free
institutions are threatened, does not
hesitate to place the welfare Of his
country above the socialistic doctrines
OF his party, even though he stands
almost alone" the Empire State Rep
reSentative told luncheon conference
of Republican women of Virginia.
Few Opponents in Senate.
There are only a handful of Sena-
tors, including his colleague, Senator
Byrd, who dare openly to fight the
unsound and un-American projects
and brainstorms of the brain trust"
he said, adding that the Virginia rep
resentatives in the House, while still
giving lip service to Thomas Jeffer-
son. have voted on almost every occa-
sion with the brain trust to repudiate
Jefersonian principles.
He called for square deal for
capital and labor, and for all men
and women, no matter what their
position In life," and asserted that the
Democratic party rs rapidly demon
strating its incapacity to govern with
in the bounds of reason and modera-
ton"
Order of Day SOAK the Rich"
With the assertion that Socialism
was not voted into power in the last
presidential election, Mr.. Fish said
the order of the day is soak the rich,
and even the people of moderate
means"
Let us give business a chance, re-
move the heavy hand of Government
control and regimentation," he said.
Let the Government encourage busi-
ness to make reasonable profits, in
stead of placing private enterprise in
straight jacket. Let the Govern
ment say to business, We are with
you and not against you,' and stop
advocating Government ownership and
Socialism"
