dage indicated he expects her hus-
band, Art Jarrett, to take long-range

last hopes for reinstatement fade have
had no basis whatever, she insists.
She has turned down numerous offers
in the past few years in order to keep
her amateur status clear. The last
attack upon her simon pure standing

two years ago, but it was crushed

n YEW YORK. July 25.-Up from
nj nowhere, or thereabouts, has
" suddenly bobbed the sensa.
tionally ugly, but not uu-
attractive face Of Kid Broad. the man
who revolutionized the motion picture
business.
"The report Of my DEATH" says the
Kid, "iS very much exaggerated"
don't know where the Kid learned
that word exaggerated" It's the
longest word ! ever heard him use.
But it's nice to know that the Kid Is
alive. even IL I, for one, never realized
that he was supposed to be dead. The
world Is so full Of similar society notes
and rumors these days that, you're
bound to miss . few.
The last time ] saw the Kid Broad
was about year and half ago. We
masticated the suet for an hour or 80,
talking Of life and art in the prize
ring and In the motion pictures. Mr..
Broad prefers TO discuss lights, never
having managed to forget the time
when, by his own affidavit. he won the
amateur bantamweight, featherweisht,
lightweight and welterweight titles In
a single evening. "
Ancestor Of Them All.
THIS Is good story, but somewhat
complicated, I don't think we'll
go into it now. It always seemed to
me that Kid Broad as fighter was
much less significant than Kid Broad
as motion picture pioneer. There
is no doubt at all that he was the
first performer to put ugliness on q
standard paying basis on the screen.
He was the artistic ancestor Of Bull
Montana. Lon Chaney and Louis VOL
helm. In fact, you can trace q d.
rect connection between Boris Kar-
loff in "Frankenstein" and Kid Broad
in Bright Lights"
But first Of all, let's get these death
rumors of the record. It seems that
a couple weeks ago Mr.. Broad heard
that he was dead and was much con-
fused by the report. reasoning that II
it were true he would have been one OF
the first to know. From confusion
the kid passed to a state Of acute an
noyance Pretty soon he made
strong literary effort and wrote letters
hither and yon to inform his friends
associates and admirers that, far from
being dead, he was not even coma
tose.
IT amt dead, see?" Mr.. Broad ex-
planned when interrogated on the SUBJ
ject by your correspondent. TN,
alive, see? Not dead, see? 1t must
OF been some other Kid Broad, tryin'
to get away with dyin' under my name
I got few imitators. see? But the
report of my death is very much ex-
aggerated."
You're positive about that?" said
your correspondent. always careful to
check the facts.

and the narrators returned to

their battle.
DR.. Gordon B. New, of the Mayo
Clinic, Rochester, Mimi, presented
statistics before the fifth annual
tumor clinic of Hines Memorial
Hospital here last night to show
that cancer of the mouth and
upper jaw is not incurable.
DR.. New revealed that of SAT

Of the mouth prior to 1929, 357,

To two factors DR.. New attrib-
uted these results: the treatment
today of cancer in an earlier
stage than was done 20 years
ago, and the marked advance in
the use of surgical diathermy
electrical burning and radium to
supplement the treatment by
surgery alone.
DR.. Maud Slye, of the University
Of Chicago, who for many years
has been conducting cancer re.
search with thousands of mice,
declared cancer must be bred out
of the race if it is to be con-

DR.. Slye revealed how she has
bred cancer out of races of mice in
two generations and declared her
confidence that the same results
would be possible with human be-
ingS in at least three generations
through eugenic marriage.
