A common sense attitude with re-
spect to cancer was today urged
upon citizens of Connecticut by DR..
Matthew H. Griswold. cancer re-
search physician Of the state de-
partment OF health, in the depart

view, he said, can be developed only
after reasonable consideration Of all
the known facts and theories re-
garding the disease and its effects
upon social and economic life OF
the community.
In the light of present knowledge
DIR. Griswold stated, most OF the
older ideas on the subject appear
erroneous. some even ridiculous, but

WASHINGTON, April IS. = It takes 10 secretaries, a dozen secret service men, and a navy crew to backstop the President in catching fish but his continued good health undoubtedly justifies it.

FISHERMAN'S DELIGHT

The Potomac, once called the Electra, was. intended as a prohibi- tion boat for the Coast Guard. It was completed in 1883 but never chased a rum runner as it was communicated for the White House, almost at once and remodeled along the lines of yacht.
 It is 165 feet long but its rum chaser lines makes it no seaman's dream for comfort It was built of shallow draft so it could pursue runners into shallow water. But its 8-foot draft lets it roll and a less seaworthy President might find no relaxation in it at all.
 It is ideal, however, for the sort of fishing Roosevelt plans.
 Some phases of this job of being President are not so bad.

CONSTANT GUARD

He came back from Warm Springs rested and tanned but much driving around to this and that affair lost him the relaxation he expects from a week of fishing and loafing in the warm gulf sun.
 On trips of this nature he takes an operating White House staff including Marvin H. Mcintyre, as- sistant secretary, two personal sec retaries, four stenographers, mili- tary and naval aides, and his per- |sonal attendant. Most of these, including Mcintyre, not a deep lover of the sea, establish headquarters ashore.
 On the Gulf trip headquarters will be set up first at New Orleans but will move westward to Calves ton a. few days later as the Presi- dents craft idles that way. The half dozen newsmen with the party will follow on shore, since the President wants no audience.
 But the Secret Service will not be kept at arms length in any such manner Whither the President goeth, they go also. They will be on the Potomac, the Presidents yacht. They work in shifts, just as in Washington. At least one is on duty throughout the night, oft times in a small power boat in

Women in Congress.

The progress of women into the halls
Of Congress since Jeannette Rankin of
Montana was elected a Representative
In 1915 has not been swift or of great
magnitude. A score Of years after Miss
Rankin first broke the congressional
ice, the Seventy-fifth Congress boasts
only six woman members, one in the
Senate and five in the House. At diff
ferent times during that interval the
number of women in the House has run
to seven or eight, and last year there
were for brief time two woman men,
bers of the Senate.
It is not that women have made poor
members Of Congress. Indeed. some Of
the women have proved themselves ex-
tremely able during their service In that
body. The reason for the slender list
Of woman members apparently rests on
other bases. Many women Of ability
hesitate to enter the primaries in rough
and tumble contest for party nomina-
tions. And very few Of them are en-
coilraged to do 20 by the male leaders
Of their respective political parties. Men

Closer to the People.

Science, as the servant Of q deliberate
purpose, has brought the President OF
the United States closer to the people OF
the Nation. When Mr.. Roosevelt ad-
dresses Congress in joint session as
sembled the entire population is his
audience. The press not only reports
every word that he utters-it also chron-
icles the story of his visit to Capitol Hill
in sequential detail. describes his ap-
pearance. his manner and bearing. the
"theater" Of his coming and going, the
reaction to his message a. 1t appeals to
the intelligence Of his hearers and the
effect foreshadowed for that reaction in
terms Of legislation and in administra-
tive policy and practice.
The radio likewise Is employed to
democratize the scene. Coast-to-coast
networks broadcast the Presidents ar
rival and departure. his introduction and
the applause which greets him As he
takes his place ON the rostrum. each
word of the account of his stewardship
which he presents. Intangibly. but with
compelling power, the drama Of national

Blood Tests Urged for
AlcOhOlized Motorists

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial in the Sunday Star on
q. And Intoxication" is most inter-
esting and timely. If properly digested
by men who are charged with the serious
responsibility Of reducing fatalities from
motor accidents, your statement should
certainly inspire them to immediate and
important action.
No fair-minded observer can fail to
realize that the return of the legalized
liquor traffic has been one of the largest
factors in the appalling number Of acci-
dental deaths in general 1t is reason
able to expect that all citizens of sound
mind, unless they look upon this as a
desirable method of race suicide, shall
demand soon that this form of murder
must be stopped at all odds.
The United Dry Forces of the District
OF Columbia have been advocating for
many months that law Tor q regula.
tom be established which would REQUIRE
all persons involved in motor accidents
to submit to a blood test with view to
determining whether they had been
drinking alcohol prior to such accidents.
This is being done in other jurisdictions
with great advantage. but we are told
locally that such law would be in.
clined to rob men of their constitutional
rights. Why this technical objection. If
vaccination against smallpox and finger
printing can be done forcibly and con.
Stitutionally?
