When Dr. Carswell, Special Deputy Territorial Health Con- missioner, was in Nome recently, he administered the tuberculin test to all school children and X- rayed all positive cases. The Sunday afternoon before he left he spoke to a small informal group on general health matters, stressing more especially the need in Nome for a Health Council.
 Dr. Morcom followed this up by assisting in the selection of a committee which was to estab- fish such council. Under Dr. Morcom's guidance this commit tee met and formulated plans for organization.
 This organization has for it's purpose the dissemination and correlation of a community health program. The Council is to be made up of representative from

Winter Mail Plane Service to End
 This Week

The regular semi-weekly win ter mail service between Nome and Fairbanks which has been operated by Pacific Alaska Air ways during the past three years will terminate this week. This service calls for a total of fifty two round trips with stops from Nome as follows: Golovin, Nula- to, Ruby, Kokrines, Tanana, Man ley Hot Springs, Tolavana and Fairbanks, and to leave each ter minal with a maximum of 1000 pounds of mail matter.
 At the present time fifty of these trips have been completed leaving a balance of two trips yet to make. the last of which will probably be run May 5th or 9th. From that date on no sec ond class mail matter wil be carried by plane. First class mail will continue to be carried by plane after May 9th, but not un- der contract.
 The last regular mail trip will see the end of three years of a four year contract under which Pacific Alaska Airways has given this section a continuous semi weekly scheduled service be- tween November first when the mail service begins, and approx imately the middle of May when the contract expires.
 During the time in which this contract is not in force Pacific Alaska Airways will operate weekly Electra passenger ser vice between Nome and Fair banks. This service will be in- force as soon as landing condi- tions will permit the use of wheel landing gear, and until such time 6 ski equipped plane wild be used in this work. The Nome to Fairbanks schedule will connect with one trip of semi weekly Electra" service which PAA operates between Fairbanks and Juneau via Whitehorse, VT, which in turn contacts southbound steamships from Juneau thus put ting Seattle within six days tra- yelling time from Nome.

"Moocher'' Beetles.
Out in the grain fields of Kans

OUT in the grain fields of Kansas,
Federal entomologists have dis
covered type of beetles which are
decidedly "moochers." They live off
the industry of the busy red harvest
ants.
The beetles, adults of the false wire
worm, were found to congregate
around the mounds built by the ants
and in which the ants store seed they
gathered for Winter food. The bee
ties fed freely on the crops gathered
by the ants and even on occasion q
number of beetles attacked an ant
carrying seed to the mound.
The ants dropped their cargo to at
tack the beetles, biting at the legs
OF the beetles, and at the conclusion
of the fight the seeds were forgotten,
to be eaten later by the beetles.

which are known to produce cancer
when injected into animals. We are
also working on that second problem OF
studying conditions which control the
growth of cells. We are studying this,
trying to find out all We can of what
will stimulate the growth and division
of cells, and what will inhibit growth
and division. We are getting all the
information We can on cells-malig-
nant and normal-hoping that with
more knowledge we can supply it to
control growth.
AS part Of our work here we are
also studying the engines. These are
very important chemicals which regu-
late the life processes-especiall the
engines which act upon the proteins.
This is because proteins are very i'm
portant components for cells. and for
growth the cell requires continuous
building up of proteins.
I'VE have found that oxygen, de-
pending upon the pressure used, will
regulate these engines II oxygen
tension is low the protein will be
split. If it is higher the protein will
be built up from the split products.
Then it seems as if oxygen tension has
controlling influence on the growth
Of the cells, acting through the en-
zymes."
Such contributions are casting light
slowly but surely upon the dreadful
mysteries of cancer. With more time
and continuous, painstaking research,
we may dare to hope that science will
batter its way, eventually, to the very
citadel of life itself-the living cell.

New Labelling Urged.

THE matter of purchasing sheets is
a bit more difficult than would ap-
pear on the surface, for there are five
distinct classes Of cotton sheets on the
market ranging from heavy muslin to
percale. Because of this variety, it
is somewhat difficult for the inexperi-
enced buyer to compare prices.
The Bureau of Home Economics sug-
gests that sheets be labeled to give the
true picture, the label to carry such
data as the number Of threads per
inch, the breaking strength and the
amount of sizing in addition to length
and width

desirable, as the sheets are heavier.

is easily prepared by combining
diphenylamine-a common aniline
derivative-and sulphur After pre-
liminary tests in the laboratory had
shown that it killed the larvae OF
mosquitoes and of the codling moth
exposed to it, phenothiazine was taken
out into the field for limited trial.
When it gave promise in these small
scale tests it was put through a course
Of large-scale field tests. The re-
suits of these tests, though In the
main highly encouraging in the
Northwest, show the need for more
study.
In the Northwest phenothiaxtne

pie insect pest-much better than

o. phenothiazine are that 1t keeps
down the number of stings made on
fruit by the worms and that the resi-
due 1T leaves Is less likely than lead

The main obstacle to the wide

western orchards is its effect on the

orchard men, particularly sprayers,
using it are afflicted with what looks

cure"
A BOUT 100000 people die in this
country every year from cancer
at the present time. Just how many
are suffering from the disease it is
impossible to ascertain. It is con-
stantly on the increase, and the prin-
cipal reason for this, DR.. Voegtlin
states, is that with the better control
of other diseases, leading to an in
crease in the average longevity of
human beings, there are more persons
reaching an advanced age-the So
called cancer" age.
Extensive experimental studies on
animals have shown that certain
strains. such as mice, when inbred,
may have high incidence low, or
intermediate incidence in any malig-
nant growth specific to that strain.
For example. scientists have taken two
mice strains showing cancer of
the mammary glands, and inbred
them. The progeny of these
mice show an incidence of cancer of
the mammary glands as high as 80 per
cent, while other strains may show
variable instances-say per cent.
Cross-breeding may change the re-
suit. This means that scientists have
shown experimentally that descend
ants Of certain animals have a greater
chance of developing tumors than
other strains.
POSS1BLY certain kinds of cancer
are caused by chemicals formed
by the human body.
But the big question is" says DR..
Voegtlin, "how can we explain the
transformation of normal cells into
cancer cells by these different agents?
If that can be answered we have es-
sentially answered the question Of the
cause of cancer
"At the institute we are trying to
produce cancer cells outside the body,
by exposing normal cells growing in
cultures to the action of chemicals
