FORECAST BY BANK
National City Predicts Good
Business Volume in Com
ing Months.
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS.

Looking forward to good volume
OF trade activity" in the Fall, business
men were reported by the National
City Bank to be conducting their
affairs conservatively' with little evi-
dence of the boom psychology preva-
lent at this time a year ago"
In its September monthly letter. the
National City Bank points out that
"the general volume of production and
trade has been maintained at a rela-
lively high level during August. Judg-
Ing by preliminary figures says the
survey, "the regularly accepted indices
OF industrial activity will show fair
margin of gain over a year ago, not
withstanding moderate decline from
the high levels of the Spring"
Referring to Standard Statistics Co. S
index of industrial production, cor
rected for seasonal variations, esti-
mated at 96 for the month, the bank
survey points out that this is 10 per
cent below the years peak in March,
but still per cent better than for
August year ago.
Adjournment Is Relief.
Adjournment of Congress-" says
the survey, affords welcome relief
from legislative uncertainties, and for
few months at least business men
will be able to go ahead with their
plans with less fear of new forms of
regulation and restriction from Wash
1ngton.
Failure of the bill to regulate
wages and hours throughout industry
to pass at the last session has brought
feeling of relief to industry every
where. American business men with
few exceptions are heartily in SYM
pathy with good wages and fair work.
ing conditions for labor. as the record
OF industrial development of this
country so strikingly shows, but they
have little faith in the wisdom of
governmental boards in such matters
and see in proposals of this kind only
new sources of confusion and frus-
tration."

November 2S, 1894, when the car in

August Meyer of Philadelphia,
crashed into the rear of a Kessler
truck. of which Pinigoro of Passaic,

instantly.
The court sustained demurers to
two other counts in the declarations.
in addition to the flare" counts,
and overruled demurrers to two
counts.
The counts on which the demur-
rers were Overruled are: Alleged
failure of the truck to display a
red light visible under normal at
mospheric conditions a distance of
500 feet to the rear and failure to
provide clearance lights on each side
of the truck.
Police To Urge Use OF Flares
Supt. c. c. Reynolds of the state
police said that in view of the courts
opinion. there will be no further ar
rests of truck operators for failure
to place flares in front of and to the
rear of their stopped trucks on the
highways.
We will. however. request the
truck operators to use the flares il
they have them, for their own safety

Mr.. Reynolds added that he ex-
poets to confer with the attorney

Syphilis Must Be Combafed
When 1t Is First Contracted

I when his treatment may stop.
A woman with syphilis should take
care not to conceive until the doctor
says she may, and should continue
treatments through pregnancy if he
so advises; under these conditions
she has a 80 percent chance of bear
ing a well baby.
If patient has unconsciously ex-
posed other persons before he knew
he had the disease, he should insist
upon a full investigation of every
one involved. If possible, the patient
should bring to the doctor, for treat
ment, the person from whom he con-
tracted it. After eighteen months of
steady treatment there is almost no
probability of relapse and infection
of others. A patient may hope to
marry, but hardly within two years,
better three or four; and always un-
der direction of the doctor, with a
complete knowledge of the facts
given the partner, and with control
of pregnancy.
IF a patient is honestly unable to
pay for private treatment, he can
secure skillful medical attention
from the clinics operated by his
community or attached to his local
hospital. If possible, he pays a
small fee; if he is wholly without
money, drugs and medical service
cost him nothing. No citizen can
plead poverty as an excuse for avoid
ing the personal and social respon-
cihilitu of sfolipo ha oa,,aS
with patient and doctor working
shoulder to shoulder, failure is i'm
possible, and syphilis will. we conf
IDENTIFY believe. cease to plague the
EARTH" DR.. Stokes article concludes.
State and community health au-
thorities have been active in the ef-
fort to eradicate syphilis from Del
aware. and have been hampered, in
common with crusaders in other
states. by the old-fashioned hush
hush" attitude. The modern under
standing that syphilis may be con-
tracted other than through sexual
relationships, has done much to force
the disease out into the open for
treatment.
Free clinics. for those unable to
afford the services of private ply
sicians, are maintained by the State
Board OF Health in the county health
centers in Dover and Georgetown,
and by the hospitals in Wilmington.
Persons with reasons to believe they
may have contracted syphilis or
gonorrhea. are being urged to i'm
mediately visit a physician. Early
treatment will greatly increase the
possibility of a cure, and will pre-
vent the transmission of the disease
to others. Syphilis is a disease, not
a disgrade.

CANCER SUFFERERS
MUST WATCH QUACKS
[CemfiHHsd from Fku Psgtl

lCoHftnusd from FHst :SStI
Committee of the American Society
for the Control of Cancer. The state
ment follows:
with the extension of the cancer
problem to include the fields of BIZ
ology, chemistry and physics, as well
as its former terrain within the
practice of the medical profession,
new dangers have arisen.
These dangers are the wide and
varied assortment. of cures and
'preventives' claimed by number of
individuals In many parts of the
world. At no other time have these
cures been so boldly and subtly ex-
plotted.
'The amount of scientific training
and of honest conviction In the value
of their work, possessed by the per-
sons making these claims undoubt-
ediy varies. There is, however, a me-
cbanism by which these cures can
be tested without detracting from
the credit of the discoverer. This Is
by using cancer research laborator-
les and leading medical schools to
evaluate the discovery In the same
way that insulin was introduced to
the public. -.-.ss 49,
consequently, the American So
ciety for the Control of Cancer
wishes to point out the following
warnings:
"Q) That, with the possible ex-
ception of the relation Of certain
ovarian secretions to breast cancer
in mice, biological or chemical .ex-
periments have so far failed 10 give
evidence that, in its opinion, 1usti-
fies the use of glandular substances
in cancer prevention or thereapy.
"(2) The Society also remains def
nitely opposed to the use OF all Sc
cret chemical formulae and biolog-
ical substances administered In any
way as preventives or in treatment.
"(3) It has found no evidence of
the value In diagnosis or treatment
of anti-toxins, sera or other SUD
stances developed on the theory that
micro-organisms or virsuses cause
or cure cancer.
40 It has found no diet that will
cure, prevent or in any way infu-
ence the course of cancer.

ces 1T warns all persons against re-
lying on any of these methods.

juries, loss OF life, and destruction o.
property caused by striking obstruc
tions in the public highways" th'
courts opinion stated. THE act was
made applicable to motor trucks
and motor busses only. Trucks were
not classified with respect to length
width, size, or weight.
The statutory definition of high
way is every way or place of what
ever nature open to the use OF the
public is a matter of right for the
purpose of vehicular travel The
act, consequently, applies to the
whole of the highway, not merely to
the paved, or improved, or main
travelled portion.
Effect OF Statute Stated
"The effect Of the statute was to
subject to criminal punishment and
to civil liability the operator OF a
motor truck or motor bus who
should fail to put out, within the
specified time, torches or lights as
required while operators of other
vehicles on the highways were re-
lieved of like consequences"
The opinion further stated that
trucks and busses are not classified
in the law as to kind, character,
size, or weight, and their operators
are not relieved of the consequences
imposed by the statute for failure to
set the required lights even II they
park their vehicles entirely on the
main Travelled portion of the road.
Parking OF Private Cars
After citing the weight and size
OF many pleasure cars. many of them
being as heavy as trucks, the court
said:
Instances of collisions with pri-
vate cars parked on the highway
resulting in the practical ruin of
the vehicles and in deaths of the
occupants are so numerous that it
is impossible to regard difference in
weight as a reasonable basis for the
classification made by the statute.
Nor may it he said that pleasure
cars are parked on the highway less
frequently than are trucks and
busses. We cannot be blind to the
fact that, for whatever purpose, plea
sure cars are to be found parked
within the limits of the highways
and numerously."
The opinion. commenting that
equality before the law
is demanded by natural justice and
by constitutional provisions. said
"the legislature may not. therefore,
split in two a natural class of per-
sons and things. capriciously desig-
nate the several parts as classes. and
enact different rules for the gov
of each"
