 Surely need to know more about this mys- terious human scourge Next to heart disease. it is the biggest killer among the diseases taking 150000 American lives last year and causing slow torture among many more. Science is at work seeking out its cause and cure. but far neither has been found Funds have been made available for research by Con- gressional action and by $4000000 gift to Yale by Starling w Childs. Great strides have been made in understanding the disease and in applying treatment that can cure it in the early stages.
 At present there only three known methods of treating cancersurgery. xrays and radum either sngly in combination. There are no serums o. other specifies
 The best defense is early diagnosis. A cancer caught in it's early stages is curable not later stages It is the purpose of a nationwide campaign to educate people in detecting it's first signs and to act on the advice of reputable physicians.
 The American Society for the Control of Cancer estimates that with such knowledge widely dissem- mated, at least 75,00o lives be saved annually

The Argonaut thus was diverted
to the siding and smashed full tilt

smash occurred shortly before 2
am. Witnesses said the two loco

coaches were telescoped or piled up
and overturned. Victims were trap

bodies were freed only by cutting
through debris with axes or acetyl-
enc torches.
Train crews and passengers,
working in the dark or with flash

injured. Medical reinforcementS
were summoned by telephone from
Ell Centre, Brawley and Calipatria
and the station parking lot at Nj

awaiting the injured.
Isolation of the scene hampered
rescue workers, for virtually the
only means of transportation was
by rail. A few motor cars managed
to plunge through the desert wash

Doctors and nurses raced to the
scene in an improvised hospital
train or by "speeders", small cars
operating on the rails.
Forty-six of the injured were
taken to the Coachella Valley hos

policy makers are thinking today.
To illustrate his conception of
the Roosevelt Hull attitude in this
crisis in which European powers
are juggling the fate of Czecho-
slovakia, the United Press infor-
mant recalled events during the
Harding administration, and re-
marked, in substance:
There is now an effort being
made to make the United States
pull Europe's chestnuts out Of the
fire. President Roosevelt, however,
is not going to be another Charles
Evans Hughes and hold the bag
as Mr.. Hughes did after the Wash
ington arms conference.
Coincident with the expression
of this chestnut" policy, Sen. Will
liam E. Borah, R., Idaho, back
here after a long illness, snapped
that former French Premier Leon
Blum would better remind his fell
low countrymen to observe their
own formal treaty obligations than
to ask the United States to take
the lead in effecting European
peace.
Borah said sit is not our affair
if Great Britain and France agree
to dismemberment of Czechoslo-
