Hoey recommended today to the

Hoey asked the governing bodies
of the railroad to adjourn their meet

approved of lease of the line or Sc

The Southern was interested in the

administration in Washington.
He emphasized that the railroad
was not seeking to lease, acquire or
operate the line, but "had expressed
a Willingness to consider taking over
operations for period of three years
Ito see just what can be done
There are also 1.-TWO separate groups
of North Carolina citizens who have
been considering the matter of or
ganizing companies and making a
proposition for the lease of the road,
said the governor.
The railroad administration at
Washington ''will cooperate financial
ly in helping the road get on it's feet"
said Hoey, as washington is inter-
-ested both in the railroad and the
port, and has shown fine spirit of
cooperation"

Nurnberg, Germany Sept. 8.-tAP)
Adolf Hitler, who yesterday order
ed Sudeten Germans to discontinue
their negotiations for self-rule with
the CZechoslovak government, Today
instructed the minority leaders to re-
sumo the talks.
The reason for this change, it was
said, was the desire of the chancellor
and self-styled protector of Sudeten
Germans to convince the world he
was leaving nothing undone to find
peaceful solution to the Czech-German
crisis.
Informed quarters said with this
additional evidence of a conciljatory
spirit to the Sudeten Germans credit"
Hitler could "all the more press upon
the British to demand maximum, con-
cessions from the Czechosloval1 ad
miniStration.
German efforts will now be concen-
trated upon getting the British to act
and decisively, these sources added.
Konrad Henlein, Sudeten German
leader, returned to Nurnberg this
morning after hurried overnight
journey to Czechoslovak, which he
took at Hitlers behest. An informed
source said the Sudeten Fuehrer ord
cred his followers to refrain from
intensifying the conflict while his ne
gotiations with Hitler, and Killers
with Britain, are in progress.
Henlein FASTENED home after rcceiv-
ing reports that the "horse-whipping"
of Sudeten deputy by Czech police
man in border town had caused a
rupture of the Sudeten-Prague govern
ment negotiations. Henlein told his
followers to reopen those negotiations,
informed persons said.

opponents, and even declared:
II am still awaiting a sign
from those who speak for the
German people that they share
this desire (for peace) and are
prepared to make contribu-
ton to peace which would help
them as much as it would
help us"
Closing the debate for the gov
eminent, Sir John Simon, chan

trying to preserve peace when
everyone else became resigned in
despair to war.

The Cancer Laboratory.

Just beyond Bethesda on the Rockville
pike is arising an imposing group OF
brick buildings which, when completed,
will look like small college. They are
the laboratories of the National Insti-
tute of Health, the research branch Of
the United States Public Health Service.
Ground was broken for perhaps the
most important Of these laboratories
yesterday 1t is the building to be de-
voted to the study of cancer. 1t will be
the national headquarters for the war
against this dread malady, the spot
where research the country over will
be co-ordinated, from which grants-in-
aid to experimenters elsewhere will be
made, and where some Of the most
significant actual experimentation
be carried on.
The Federal Government now is ac-
lively in the battle against cancer. The
outlook is far from being hopeless. All
sorts of vistas have been opened up in
the past few syears-the improvements
in X-ray equipment and technique, the
artificial production Of radioactive salts.
the discovery of some Of the roles played
by body chemistry in the genesis OF
these malignant growths. There are
scores of leads to follow, any one Of
which may bring about clearer under
standing. In the past these leads have
been followed with little coordination.
Now, under the auspices Of the Public
Health Service, a group of the Nations
foremost experts has taken over the
Job OF co-ordinator. The new 1abora-
tory will be their headquarters. 1t will
become, there is every reason to believe,
the cancer research headquarters of the

largest indoor aquarium Is minute. In
comparison with the hundreds Of thou
sands of gallons Of water in which fishes
swim In the outdoor pools and streams.
Thus . copper piece thrown into =
stream would have absolutely no eject
on the fishes therein.
The same coin placed IN q ten-gallcn
tank would be extremely harmful.
Mr.. Innes, in his Complete Aquarium
Book" gives the following proportions
and ingredients for making an aquarium
cement: One quart of very fine sand,
one quart Of plaster of Paris, one pound
of litharge, two ounces of powdered
resin; the whole mixed with double
boiled linseed oil to a soft consistency.
This amount would be far more than
any one would need except when ce-
menting an aquarium which he had
built from the ground up"
Another formula given by the same
authority is equal parts, by weight, OF
zinc white, whiting and litharge, mixed
with the lnseed oil as above.
Unless one likes to dabble with such
mixtures, however, it Is cheaper and
more expeditions to purchase the ready
made. These usually have been worked
out over the years. and contain nothing
which will harm the animals. That Is
the big point, after all.
The tank should be dry inside before
applying cement, as otherwise 1t will not
stick.
One necessary warning Is never to
attempt to apply cement from the out
side to stop leak.
This is the hrst thought OF the anna
teur, but experience will prove to him
that 1t cannot be done; the weight and
pressure Of water, exercised at the leak,
are greater than the repellent power Of
any cement whatsoever.
We believe that chewing gum afdxed
TO a leak from the outside, might have
. better chance Of success. Certainly 1t
sticks mighty we'll to the bottom of ones
shoe! If wad of gum must he parked"
somewhere, perhaps the outside Of an
aquarium might be tried. At least 1t
would make an interesting experiment.

Every hobby has its fine points; to
those who are not interested in the par
ticular hobby, these points sometimes
seem mildly ludicrous. But to the ad-
diets there is nothing humorous about
the matter.
The exact degree of Elasticity Of an
aquarium cement has received great
deal Of attention In recent years. Paint
manufacturers have held round-tables
about it, and fish fans" have discussed
1t at their meetings Though the average
enthusiast will not purchase more than
q half pound. or less, in lifetime, the
aggregate sales throughout the Nation
are large.
The better the cement, the better the
tank. II the cement retains its semi
soft character, it Is not nearly SO likely
to pull away from the glass and make
small leaks. 1t is to retain this plastic
ity that water is kept in the bottom Of
q tank all summer, even if the fishes are
out enjoying the great outdoors In a
