MASSIVE malignant tumors of the kidney, once
4VA the despair of the surgeon, now yielding to
a combination treatment of X-rays and the knife.
This advance is regarded by medical authorities
one of the most hopeful developments in the war on
cancer.
Tumors so large that they fill three-fourths of the
abdomen reduced by intensive X-ray treatment
until it is hardly possible for the medical to
feel their presence.
1t is then possible to remove the tumor by a new
method of performing kidney operation This meth
cd developed by Dr. Lawrence r. Wharton of the
department of gynecology of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity
Surgeons formerly regarded cancers of this type
practically hopeless. Their large size added to the
usually weakened condition of the patient made OPP
Grafton extremely doubtful quantity. In addition,
the nature of the is such that 1t difficult
to the without getting bits of it into
the blood stream the incison. These bits, to use
Dr. Wharton's words would grow like weeds" caus-
ing the development of new secondary cancers.
The new method entirely changes the picture, DR..
Wharton relates in the current issue Of Surgery
Gynecoogy and Obstetrics. During the three or four
weeks required for the X-ray treatment, he writes,
there is excellent opportunity to build up the phys
ical condition Of the patient.
A S result, says DR.. Wharton, I'VE approach the
n operation with feeling of hopefulness which
was unknown two years ago."
The operation however is still necessary, he
says because there is record in which the
X-ray treatment has resulted in complete disap-
pearance OF Lne cancer.
The character of the cancer, as already mentioned,
makes the operation difficult The malignant tissue
is easily crumbled pulverized and is usually con-
tanned in very thin capsule. Frequently, it ex-
tends directly into the blood stream
THE ideal operation, DR.. Wharton continues
Il would be in Which the tumor was isolated
from its connections with blood vessels before being
handled This it to prevent bits of the cancer being
pushed into the blood stream and causing secondary
cancers. wide exposure Is also needed so that the
entire mass can be removed without rupturing the
capsule.
These conditions can not be met in the usual
way of performing kidney operation in which the
incsion is made through the back. He says however
that it can be done by making the incsion through
the abdomen.
1t is this method which is used in the new oper-
alton which DR. Wharton describes. Up to the pres
ent time, medical have regarded the kidney op:
Grafton too complicated and dangerous TO try.
DR.. Wharton however, says Of his new method
that 1T is done very easily in a little more than
hour, requiring no pulling tuggng. entails very
little shock and in opinion is much less risky
than akambar nephreetomy for tumor."

participate in the parade before
the opening of the exhibit.

THIS opening will be marked
i by the sounding of a gun in
the square and by the unfurling
of flags around the plaza. The
18th Infantry Band will give one
hour concerts between 10 and IL
and between IL and l.
At 2, the long-veiled statute of
Abraham Lincoln on the south
east corner of University Park
will be unveiled by members of
the Park Board with Civil War
veterans as honored guests and
with the band playing a special
program of Civil War music.
At 4, special troops from Fl.
Harrison will stage a formal
guard mount, one of the most i'm
pressive sights at any Army post
any time. An hour later, the
celebration will end with retreat
formation.
Massed buglers of the 18th In
fantry will play retreat, the
haunting shutdown signal of the
Army, and the many flags will be
lowered as the 18th Infantry
Band plays the "Star-Spangled
Banner"
The entrance to the exhibits
will be at the corner of Meridian
and Michigan-sts, Col Robinson
announced yesterday, and the In
dianapolis Police Department will
close off Michigan between Meri-
dian and Pennsylvania-sts all day.
Guards will be left with the ex-
hibition material tonight, fore
runners of the 300 men and 20 of
f1cers from the fort who will be
on hand to explain the displays
tomorrow.
TINE purpose of the day was

men from Gen. Naylor:
Army Day, sponsored by the
Military Order of the World War,
was instituted to impress upon
the citizens that our liberties and
existence are not intrusted to
great standing Army, but to the
individual citizen and that the
Army exists by the will of the
citizen.
Few opportunities are afforded
by the nation to experience a
wise expression of trust and reli-
ance and this day is set aside for
such expression. April 6 has
been selected for the day, as it
commentaries the entrance of
the United States into the World
War.
1.-The memory of the utter lack
of preparedness for National De-
Tense on that date 18 years ago
should serve to help our country
realize the necessity of having an
adequate Army, thoroughly or

FAIRFAX RAISES
TAX RATE To
IS CENTS

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE,
Va, April 4.-Facing a reduced
county surplus and operating
fund, the county board of super
visors has ordered the county
tax rate increased from Is to
SO cents per 500. The boost
was decided on late yesterday at
a meeting of the board, at which
it was found that only $4,000
remains as a surplus in the
treasury and that expenditures
would be $50, 488.70 for the com
ing fiscal year.
Costs Unchanged
Although the budget for the
coming year is less than 500
over that for the current year,
the board contends the increase
necessary to replenish the low
surplus fund which has dwindled
from $4,000 to approximately
$4,000. The drop in the surplus
fund has resulted. according to
the board. because Of the low
tax rate that has prevailed dur
ing the last several years.
The present school rate Of 81 is
will remain the same for next
year as will the fire rate, which
is 4 cents. The pension rate is
reduced / cent, making the rate
4 cents for next year. These
rates apply in all districts in the
county.
Road bond Indebtedness in the
different districts is not the
same, therefore different rates
apply in each district.
Rates Outlined
The rates and increases for
each district which are effective
July l, 1885, follow: Lee and
Centerville magisterial districts,
$3.50, an increase Of 10 cents:
Drainsville, 1924, increase 6
cents; Falls Church, 1929, in
crease 20 cents; Mount Vernon,
$1.79, increase 10 cents; Provi-
dence, $1.74, increase 10 cents.
The police appropriation was
increased to restore the 10 per
cent cut in salary Of the sheriff
and three city policemen, effec-
tive July !.
The board voted to retain the
present health unit. A plan to
abolish the county unit and place
all health work under the control
Of county physicians had been
proposed.
