No Third Party

Father Coughlln's broadcast assertion that his Ma
tional Union Of Social Justice will not foster a third
party movement next year seems to make It certain
that the coming presidential race viii be a straight
away ~two-party fight once more, as in the past.
There evidently is something about the American
climate which is fatal TO third parties. The older
Roosevelt and the elder La Toilette both tried the
game, but in each case the effort to
found a strong new party collapsed.
A reform movement in American politics succeeds
best BY working through one or the other, or both.

A Sport Hardly Rates
Importance of Life

An intercollegiate football season is always confus-
ing. what with teams that aren't supposed to be so
hot rising in perverse might and smacking back the
ears Of the supposed world-beaters. But the most
painful confusion Of all comes from sports writer's who
don't seem to know whether they are describing a
football game or a segment Of the World war.
On 6 recent Saturday the football teams Of Ohio
State and Notre Dame universities met in Columbus,

say about it next day you'd imagine that for death
less heroism and supernatural visitations the affair
echpsed a combination Of Leonidas at Thermopylae.
Clusters last stand, and the Angels Of Mons.
Hearken to some Of the wordage from frenzied
typewriters:
"Notre Dame came out Of the NAV Of he'll to beat
Ohio State today
The NAV Of hell. eh? Isn't this football business
supposed to be a game? Or are they playing it With
hand grenades and liquid fire nowadaysP
"A great Notre Dame team that Rockne would have
loved. a team that could rise to magnificent, incred-
ible heights Of courage, today struck down the Scarlet
Scgurge- BE with us today, Rockl BE with US
today And Rockne was there"
The Scarlet Scourge.' forsoothl What have We

hordes Of Attla and Genghis Khan, or a bunch of

And about these Fhostly visitations: are hysterical
writers going to be invoking the shades OF deceased
coaches every time a football team wins a game?
Where are those shades when their teams lose. any
way?
Now all this is q good deal less than important, Of
course: but it Is a symptom Of a kind Of delirium that
descends upon the nation every 50 often. and all
things considered it really isn't very good for us.
College football Is a game. 1t Is played BY a group
OF boys who like to get a little sport in their spare
time while they are getting an education chats the
theory, at least and It is somewhat less epoch-mak-

sudden death.
BY getting ourselves all wound up to a razzle-dazzle

values, and thereby DO our Part to handicap them for

Hardly a month goes by without the announcement
that someone has made a significant advance against
cancer. Yet as the years pass these So-called cures"
are never heard Of again. This is unfortunate. be-
cause today more people are afraid Of cancer than are
afraid Of any other disease.
Cancer Is not yet conquered!
Few people realize that it takes at least five years
to test a cancer cure. Time is the tester.
Unfortunately, thus far. every cancer cure proposed
within the ~five-year limit has at the end Of that
time been revealed as an unsuccessful experiment.
At present, we know that cancer still afflcts old
people more than young people. Ninety per cent Of all
deaths from cancer occur after the age Of 30 years,
and SO per cent after 80 years Of age.
Another type OF cancer, known as sarcoma, more
frequently affects people in the younger years.
Women have cancer more often than do men. be-
cause women have cancer Of the breast and OF the or
gans associated with childbirth. They still suffer less
than do men from cancer Of the mouth and cancer
of the skin.
whenever cancer has been studied with a view to
finding some factor in civilized man not present in
the uncivilized. the studies have yielded only failure
Today We know that savages and primitive people do
not die Of cancer. because they do not live long enough
to die OF that disease.
Nevertheless. there seems TO be relationship be-
tween civilization and cancer. because the condition
is more frequent in northern and western, than in the
southern or eastern Europe. and in the United States
the death rates from this condition are higher among
white people than among Negroes.
Everybody ought to know that there Is no evidence
70 indicate that cancer Is infectious. or that Il can
be transmitted from one person 70 another. We do
know, however, that certain families may develop 2
tendency 70 die or cancer; at least. this is the case In
animal experiments.
Notwithstanding what has been said. cancer should
not be considered a hopeless and incurable disease
1t appears first in one SPOT in the BODY and, II It can
be detected in time and removed. the menace IS under
control.
In Pennsylvania a commission on cnnoer found thnf
80 per cent OF cancer seen on the surface Of the body
and As per cent OF cancer deep IN the BODY are pre-
coded BY symptoms OF chronic irritation and inflam-
nation.
II people having such symptoms get proper diao-
0osis and treatment In time. many Of them can be
saved.
