CANCER SHOULD NOT FILL IN
DIVIDUAL WITH TERROR

Cancer is a serious disease, but 1t
is not one that should fill any sensi-
BILE individual with terror The
American Society for the Control of
Cancer shows cancer is usually found
in the middle-aged and old. Ninety
i've per cent of the deaths from this
disease occur in those over thirty
five. In other words, the eighty mil
lion of our people who are under
thirty-fve need have comparatively
less worry about cancer
Curiously enough, though. the dis
ease is less Immediately fatal to
those in the so-called cancer age belt
than it is to younger people, since
the disease spreads more slowly
through older tissues and thus gives
more time for diagnosis and treat
ment when it is still local condi-
ton. Forty-six million older men and
women should be on the alert about
cancer, alert not because of fear OF
death but because prompt dag
nosis will mean in most cases that
The disease can be cured.
Cancer can be cured by x-rays,
radium, and surgery, used individ-
ually or in combination. Any other
treatment, the Women's Field Army
of the American Society for the Con-
troll of Cancer recently warned it's
100000 memberse, is dangerous or
frankly experimental. Beware of adj
vertised salves, electric belts, gland
ilar extracts, pills or other alleged
cures. "If person advertises a
cure, declares the American Socie
", guarantee cure, or demands
payment in advance of treatment,
ne may be classed as a quack ana
should be avoided. No reputable and
ethical physician will do any of these
.hings".
For more information on this sub
ject write to Mrs. John Paul Troy,
1877 Cuttings Ave-, Commander of the
Maryland Division of the Women's
field Army of the American Society
or the Control of Cancer.

The encouraging announcement is
made that sufficient funds were rails
ed by the recent Christmas Seal sale,
conducted by the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association, to assure Mary
land of an intensive anti-tubercul-
osis program for the ensuing year.
The annual educational campaign
is now under way, in an attempt to
bring about a reduction in the tuber-
culosis incidence and morality rates
in the State, by stressing early dag
nosis of the disease.
Since the organized movement was
commenced more than thirty years
ago, the death rate has been reduc-
ed almost two-thirds. However, the
disease is still the greatest cause of
death between the ages Of Is and 45,
and still inf1icts much hardships on
the thousands who have it but be-
come cured.

WARNING TO MOTORISTS AM
PARENTS

Warning to motorists and parents
f seasonal danger to young children
s issued by the Keystone Automo-
ollie Club.
With Spring weather Turing chill
dren to play in the streets, safety
officials of the Club point out,
great responsibility is placed upon
both motorists and parents, and un-
less both take proper precautions
his Spring is likely to see a repeti
lion of the casualty record of other
years.
Accident reports show" said
Garrison P Knox, Manager of the
Club, that the first warm days are
dangerous ones for youngsters,
Especially those of pre-school age
who have had no safety training.
'In prevention of. accidents to such
children, responsibility rests first
with the parents. They cannot be un
aware of the danger of unsupervised
and unrestricted play in the streets
and highways. But failure of parents
to keep their children off the streets
does not relieve the motorist of the
solemn duty to do everything hui
manly possible to safe guard young
sters exposed to traffic perils."

WELL INVESTED TAX DOLLARS

A statement prepared by Director
T. H. Macdonald of the United
States Bureau of Public Roads
shows how $1,000 is distributed
when the money is spent for con-
crete highways. OF the above amount
go eventually goes for labor, spread
over various items that Director
MacDonald's table shows in detail.
1t includes getting on the job, pay
rolls, labor in the mills and quar-
ries, handling freight, fuel, mater
ials, replacing depletion, and wide
variety of expenditures.
Representative Mason of Illinois,
told Congress state highway depart
ments have been able to keep more
men employed in PWA construction
than in any other way. He read
statement into the Congressional
Record by Associate Highway En-
gineer C. F. Rogers of the Bureau
of Public Roads in part as follows:
"An annual highway expenditure
Of $1OO,OOO,O0O results in an aver
age annual employment on the high
way work and in industry of APP
proximately 102,690 persons con-
tinuously employed for IL months
at an average annual cost of approx
imately 1910 per person employed.
An annual highway expenditure OF
S1OO,OOO,OOQ initiates a movement
which eventually involves, in the
handling and processing of materials
by industry a total value of business
transacted of approximately $315,-
OOO,O0O.00.
"In addition to affording economic
and unemployment relief, highway
construction eventually provides a
connected highway system which is
a distinct national asset, promoting
agricultural and industrial expansion
and fostering social values"

For years the principal mind-mak
ing agencies were the press, pulpit
platform, the schools, and the thea
ter. Within the past generation two
more have been added, the radio anC
the screen. These latter because OF
their entertaining features are the
most popular and exert a powerful
influence upon the morals and ment-
atty of the people.
AS now conducted, the radio and
screen WELD both constructive and
destructive influences, which are
about evenly divided. Students Oh
social forces, alarmed at the char
acter of much that appears on the
screen and that is broadcast on the
air, declare that the activities OF
these two agencies should be direct
ed toward building broadly the mind
and the morals of the people. They
point to the increased crime record
the moral attitudes of the rising gen
Grafton, and the lascivious and ma
terialistic thinking Of our people
much of which they insist is due to
radio programs and screen produc-
lions.

The stock casualty insurance in
dustry carries on many activities
which, while little known to the gen.
sral public, are of direct, personal
service to us all. In other words, a
definite part of the policyh elders
premium dollar goes toward support
ng work that saves lives and health
and prcperty-and thus keeps the
cost Of insurance down.
One division maintained by the in
dustry carries on constant studies
designed to make factories safer and
more healthful places in which to
work. Special attention is paid to
the dread disease of silicosis An
other division deals with problems of
traffic engineering, motor vehicle law
enforcement, automotive engineer
ing, and issues reports showing how
conditions in these fields may be
bettered Another is concerned with
safety education among children,
youths and adults. Still another CO.
operates with official and civic agen-
cies in issuing and distributing
literature that points the way to-

U. s. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL-
TURE DOES NOT DISTRIBUTE
FREE SEED OR PLANTS

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
only does it not have any free
seed for distribution but it also
has no, seed or plants for sale.
According to officials of the De-
plItment, the annual spring flow Of
free seed letters is beginning
again, although indications are that
they will be fewer than last year.
he Department OF Agriculture
/ 1ints out that for the last Is years
it has been trying to convince 130,-
100000 people that it has no free
SEEDS CT plants. Yet, each year, as
spring approaches, thousands of re-
quests pour in from farms, suburbs
and penthcuses. And all of the writ
ers of these letters meet with disap-
pointment
Years ago-prior to 1923-there
was an annual appropriation for
congressional distribution through
the Department of Agriculture. But
in 1923 the Government decided to
discontinue the distribution Of this
great quantity of seed, since it was
only commercial garden seed such
as could be bought from any good
seed house and did not necessarily
r present varieties better than those
in common use.
So the Department asked you to
please stop and think before you
send in that request for free seed
CT plants.

WESTERN ELECTRIC
ENGINEER PIONEERED
new INSULATION

Telephone engineers never accept
any product or process as the "last
word" - they are always trying to
make it better.
For many years the copper wires in
t: lephone cables had been insulated by
spiral wrapping of paper ribbon.
One day a Western Electric Com
pany engineer mixed wood pulp solu-
ton in laboratory bottle and stirred
it with a piece of wire. He found the
pulp stuck to the wire. Right away
he got the idea Of making the paper
on the wire instead of wrapping the
wire with paper. This new method of
insulation led to the manufacture of
a better and far more economical
product.

Testifying before Senate COM
mittee, Bernard Baruch, the we'll
known financier, although close
friend and advisor of the President,
said that the present depression can
be ended by change Of the govern
ment's attitude toward business and
a wise readjustment of the tax
structure. He stated that business
upsurge is now being prevented by
a feeling of insecurity-the fear that
reasonable profits will be confiscated
by "inordinate taxation" and that
assets will be subjected to some
great arbitrary change in the value
of money"
