Every crooked politician gets his

JUDGES CAN HELP

1.-TWO cities have found effective method to
help curb traffic law violations.
The method, used by Louisville, KY and Ev-

entation of evidence by law enforcement officers,
and the arousing of public interest
The idea is based on the fact that traffic viola
lions flourish because of too much leniency and
too many suspended sentences the part of Judges

Lieut.. F. M. Krem of the Safety Institute found

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

CANCER cells are new types or
~ species derived from normal
cells through the action of various
agents or environmental influences.
That is the opinion of DR.. Warren
H. Lewis of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington. DR.. Lewis has de-
voted many years to comparing nor
NAL cells with those of cancer and
other malignant diseases.
Some authors consider malig-
nant cells as sick or diseased cells
but to me they seem to be extraor-
dinarily healthy and vigorous,
DR.. Lewis said. They pile up in
the blood supply and often die there
in great numbers, probably from the
injurious effects of their own waste
produces and from lack of oxygen
THE most characterised property
of malignant cells is their uncon-
trolled multiplication in the body
All normal cells are under control OF
some sort. The nature of the con-
troll mechanism is obscure but fun
damental for all multi-cellular or
ganisms. 1t begins at the two-cell
stage and continues throughout life
1t is inherited.
New types of cells like the ma
lignant ones have no natural place
in the animal organization, hence
it is not surprising that they are
not subject to the same laws of con-
troll as normal ones"
DR.. Lewis points out that the
most serious objection to his point
of view arises from the opinion that
cancer cells harbor viruses or other
agents, either living or chemical
which multiply as the cells multiply
and therefore are responsible fol
all the peculiarities of their be-
havior.
If this is true, he adds, then can
Ger cells must be regarded as dis
eased cells and not healthy ones
However, he does not think it is.

THE HOOSIER EDITOR

TT was late the other night and
i Irwin Cummings, who lives on
Maple-rd, was driving up Meridian
st on his way home. He had just
left the Athletic Club.
Mr.. Cummings had driven about
four squares when, he said, "an
arm began to violently wave right
in front of the radiator of my car
After suffering chills, and visions
of mangled somebody on the front
end of his machine, Mr.. Cummings
stopped and with a short prayer
rushed to the front.
There on the bumpers reclined a
unshaven individual, unhurt, appar-
emily sober. but more than a little
surprised. Before Mr.. Cummings
could assist his shabbily dressed
passenger into less dangerous sur
roundings, the stranger. too sur
prised to speak, got up and walked
away.
Mr.. Cummings, too disconnected
to say anything, stood and watched
his rider, disappear down the dark
street.
The man had been on the bumper
ever since the car left the Athletic
Club.

A new, or maybe it isn't new, song
was being sung over the radio.
1t went something about a fell
low who "wooed and wooed a girl
from manly 18 on up to past his
sos and near the 100 mark. He was
unsuccessful.
And as the boy sang the song
today it was land he mooed and
mooed her"
THE same boy awakened his
u parents the other night, long
after he was supposed to be asleep,
by chanting:
American Can, 121, q off; U. S.
Steel, 711z; General Motors, ETC.,

He was ordered to cease and de-

doing some fancy steps. They tipped

A little bored with themselves, the

were old couples, smiling at each

DEFENSES

LONDON, June II U.N.S0 A
policy of strong defense against
any acts of aggression was laid
down in the House of Commons
this afternoon shortly after the
British cabinet discussed plans to
sound out other powers regarding
advisability of lifting sanctions
against Italy for her conquest of
Ethiopia.
Flatly denying current rumors
Britain planned to abandon the
island of Malta as Mediterranean
naval base, Sir Samuel Hoare, first
lord of the admiralty, said:
Britain will certainly take
every practicable means to make

against any possible attack"
Reliable information revealed
the cabinet talked over the pos
Sibility of asking other League of
Nations members their reaction to
lifting of sanctions to facilitate
work of the council, but Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden lodged
the issue in the house.
A number of members pressed
for an official hint of the cabinets
decision with regard to sanctions.
Secretary Eden told all questioners
they must await tomorrow's debate
