world. II placed on Fifth avenue 1t
would require in length q little less
than three blocks and would be
block and half In width. The ex-
terror Is adorned with about $500
statues. all in marble. Its construc-
ton began in 1885. but was not en-.
tirely completed until 1925.
Leaving Milan, we drove along the
Italian Riviera, and to my way OF
thinking there Is probably no sight
that I ever saw that was more BEAU
tiful. 1t seemed to me that flowers
were growing out Of the rocks. We
then came to the world famous Monte
Carlo. We arrived there at the close
OF the season, and only \ few people
were around. / tried very hard to
find the man who broke the bank,
but he WAS missing.
We went from there to the small
city Of Avignon. all through inter-
esting countryside, and it seemed to
me that the southern part OF France
equals the beauty Of Italy, 80 far As
antiquity Is concerned Avignon is a
real old village with very narrow
streets
Then We came to probably the most
uniquely interesting place on the en-
tire trip, Carcasonne. The hotel
where We stopped was formerly the
residence Of the bishop and is along
side OF the cathedral. The old city is
entirely within the ancient walls and
was naturally impressed with the
care that was afforded by those walls
In the protection Of the inhabitants
from invasion. have been in many
churches in my time, but l never saw
more beautiful stained glass windows
in any church than will be found in
the Church of ST. Nazaire at Carcas-
some. I suggest to my readers that
they look up the history of the city
and my observation is that it hasn't
changed in appearance since the
early days Of Philip the Bold.
From Carcassonne We went to the
Winter resort Of Pau and landed there
at the end Of the season. Part of the
hotel was closed.
Before reaching Pau, however. we
stopped of at Lourdes and there be-
held an inspiring sight. We arrived
just IN time for the afternoon benedic-
tlon outdoors. Lined on both sides
OF the great plaza were the sick and
the affllcted in wheel chairs of all
kinds and descriptions. seeking the
healing waters Of the spring of Our
Lady OF Lourdes. 1t was probably one
OF the most impressive sights that 1
have ever seen. So much did it affect
me that I went back to Lourdes the
next morning and remained there
until $50 in the evening. During
that time l saw the pilgrims being
bathed and again the procession of
the blessed sacrament and benediction.
1t was fortunate for us that the pill
grimage was from London and we were
able to understand Just what they
were talking about. The Grotto itself
is an imposing sight. Clutches, shoes
made for oeformed feet. braces to help
physical deformities are left at the
Grotto as evidence OF the miracle of
cure effected by the devotion OF their
owners. You will get some idea OF
this by reading the story of St.
Berna dette. Let it be SUFFICIENT for me
to say that it is sight that will re-
main with anybody for the rest of
their lives.
Leaving Pau on Saturday night, we
started for Paris My next article will
contain my impressions of one of the
leading capitals OF the world.

Representative Maverick. Democrat,
Of Texas. announced yesterday that
he had asked DR.. James Ewing Of
New York. and IA other noted ex-

ing before the Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee on his
bill authorizing an appropriation for
creation OF a central cancer clinic in
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice
For a building and suitable equip
ment. the bill provides an appropria-
tion OF $2.700,000 and for mainte-
nance Of $l,000,o0o annually.
Report Read into Record.
In support of his bill, the Texas
lawmaker read into the Congress
fional Record report on the cancer
death rate by Frederick L. Hoffman,
consulting statistician Of the Bio
llemical Research Foundation of the
franklin Institute OF Philadelphia.
The report showed that the death
}ate from cancer had risen from no.
IN each 100000 Of the population In
1927 to 1343 in 1895. The estimated
deaths from the disease jumped from
a2,722 in 1916 to $50 ,704, the increase
greatly outrunning the increase in
population.
The death rate was highest in the
Pacific region. according to the re-
port, where in Is cities it was 1926
lor each 100000 Of population. The
lowest rate. 1921. was returned for
the East South Central region, but
even this was considered excessive.
Study Of Increase Urged.
Hoffman. in his report, urged that
the division Of vital statistics OF the
census office should make 4 thorough
study OF the whole question OF cancer
increase, utilizing both standard death
rates and specific death rates by divi-
s1onal periods OF life. He also rec
commended study to draw attention
to the increasing mortality from
cancer among Negroes. particularly in
the Virgin Islands. where the cancer
death rate is relatively very high for a
primitive race.
Another recommendation put forth
by Hoffman was that q compre ehensive
survey be undertaken OF cancer cures
by surgery and Pathological methods,
including unsuccessful, as well rs
euccessful cases. He also stressed the
Importance Of detailed study OF the
relation OF nutrition to cancer.

MILLION CHEER

Terrific Ovation al
Station for Duce
And Hitler

BERLIN, Sept. 27. (UP)
Premier Benito Mussolini
and Fuehrer Adolf Hitler
came triumphantly into Ber-
lin today to the thunderous
cheers of more than a million Ger
mans.
The two dictators arrived in sep
parate special trains from Essen,
where Mussolini was given an in
innate view of the mighty arma-
ment being turned out at the Krupp
works.
The two trains arrived simulta-
neously on parallel tracks at Heer-
strasse station at 5:45 pm.
Only governmental officials, high
members of the NaZi party and a
few invited guests were at the
station, but vast throngs were mass
ed in the streets, along the route
to the WilhelmStrasse, where Mus
solini will be housed in the presi-
dental palace.
Hitler descended from his train
before MuSSOllnl ana waited on the
platform to welcome him. He pre-
sented Mussolini to those members
of the government whom he had not
already met.
The two dictators walked upstairs
to the street, where dense throngS
burst into a salvo of cheering.
The chant OF "duce, duce, duce"
from members of the Italian colony
was especially loud. Bands played
marching tunes as MuSsolini and
Hitler inpected the guard of the
army, navy and air force in front
of the station. The Fascist hymn
was repeated again and again.
Shortly after the inspection, the
two leaders entered the same car
and the greatest reception given
to any visitor in the capitals his
tory began along the route.

HONG KONG, Sept. 27.
(UP) - The survivors of a
Chinese fishing fleet arrived
here today in the German
liner Scharnhorst after cling
ing five days to wreckage.
They said that Japanese sub
marine fired into the defenseiess
fleet without warning and without
mercy, sank IL of its IL ships, and
killed more than 300 men, women
and children.
The Scharnhorst was steaming
80 miles from Hong Kong when
lookouts sighting floating Wreckage,
and human heads projecting out
of the sea, the liner stopped. Eight
fishermen, one woman and a boy
of 13 were picked up, nearly fam
ished. Three had suffered gunshot
wounds from the shells of the
japanese submarine.
Survivors said that five days ago
the IL junks with their entire fam
lilies comprising the crews were
fishing off the coast when a Japa-
nese submarine appeared They said
that without warning the submarine
opened fire with its deck guns.
AS soon as the submarines crew
had made sure of the destruction of
the little neet, the survivors said,
they steamed away without trying
to aid those who remained alive.
