Scientist Explains Effect
OF Freezing on Canoe

Embryonic cells thrive best at
temperature from 101 degrees to 103
degrees, with IS degrees as crit
zeal temperature for their vitality,
while any temperature below 80 de-
grees will stop their activity.
These laboratory findings, with the
possibility of amazing application of
these principles to the treatment of
carcinoma, which is composed of
cells, has been. reported by DR.. Law
renee W. Smith, professor of pathol-
ogy, Temple university, Philadel-
phia.
''The laboratory results in this
field of research are, thus far, not
conclusive enough to warrant any
statement that nearly freezing, or
Undertaking cancer will effect per-
manent cure" DR.. Smith said
''We have discovered nothing new
in these experiments, except to es-
tablish certain limits of temperature
outside of which-either above or
below-embryonic and carcinoma
cells cease their activity. We have
found that we can conduct these ex-
periments with safety on patients.
ut has been known for many
years that continued cold some de-
grees below normal body tempera-
ture slows up all physiological ac-
tivity. We have merely applied the
known fact to the embryonic cells Of
chicks, and, later, to cancer in hui
man beings, for the purpose, first OF
determining what are the maximum
and minimum temperature limits
for the vitality of these cells, and,
second, to find out as nearly as pos
sible to what extent alternating
treatment may be applied without
danger to the human body.
"While we have secured, thus far,
some very interesting and rather
promising results, it would be a
great mistake to jump to the con-
clusion that we have discovered any
new and effective treatment of cam
Ger. We do not know, as yet, wheth-
er a tumor checked in its growth
and nfalignancy by the freezing
process may some time later re-
sumo its activity"

Brain Surgery Reveals
Real 'Dual-Personalities'

Surgery on brain cancers disclos-
ing existence and location Of two
personalities in every human brain
were reported recently to the Inter-
national Cancer congress.
The operations, described by DR..
Byron Stookey, of the Neurological
institute, New York, removed entire
ly the prefontal lobes of four per-
sons, and partly removed those
of four others. All are alive today.
The prefontal lobes, one on each
side of the head: fill the entire for
ward half of the brain cavity. One
of these lobes is usually dominant
over the other, a fact believed to
explain why some persons are left
handed.
These lobes have long been consid-
cred the seat of memory, thinking,
personality and the imagination
which distinguishes man above ami
mails. They receive, simultaneous
ly but separately, impulses from all
the rest of the brain.
DR.. Stookey's operations, showed
that either prefontal lobe, whether
or not it is the dominant one, is
able to produce mentally complete
and normal personality. They
showed that ordinarily the two sym
chronize to share this personality
work, but that if one lobe is dam
aged and the other remains intact,
the very character of human be-
ing changes.
In that case one lobe fights the
other. In DR.. Stookey's words,
there is "static" in the damaged
lobe, which interferes with smooth
operations in the other.
In two Of the operations, DR..
Stookey said that the complete loss
of one lobe resulted in reported
mental improvement. One Of these
was a man in charge of sending
out trucks for a motor firm. His
employees asserted that the mans
work improved. The other persons
reported ability to learn more cas-
lily.
A woman reported that frigidity
resulted from loss Of one Of her
prefrontal lobes, and that marital
relations became merely a duty.
One general change noted in those
losing a whole prefrontal lobe was
ability to make decisions more
quickly and persistence in carrying
them to completion.

Mozambique Population
Retards Modernization

With an area nearly that Of Texas
and Louisiana combined, Mozam-
bique, or Portuguese East Africa,
has white population of less than
$4,000, says the National Geographic
society. The native population, Of
many tribes, is about 1900, 900, or
less than one-third the population of
New York state.
Despite the unusual fertility Of the
soil, navigable rivers and proximity
to the ocean, with ample harbors,
development of Mozambique was
long retarded by hostile natives,
wild animals, bog-bound rivers and
malaria. A century ago "a out of
every 40 Europeans died there of
fever. Today, with ordinary precau-
tons, farmers, miners and others
have little fear of fever.
Mozambique's more than 1,400
miles of African east coast, oppo-
site the island of Madagascar, is
now dotted with cities and towns.
Eleven thousand miles of good roads
form network over the colony con-
Meeting every important town and
there are more than 1900 miles Of
railroads, connecting with British
rails in South and Central Africa.
Hydro-electric plants have been
established and steamers regularly
ply the rivers. The ports of the col
ony handle more than $100,000,000
a year in merchandise. A bridge
more than two miles long has re-
Gently been built over the Lower
Zambezi river. Coal and other min
eral deposits have been developed.
In addition to working the mines
and plantations and dabbling in
farming, the natives supply many
workers for the Transvaal gold
mines. Their principal amuse-
ments, aside from hunting with bow
and spear, are dancing and music.

ASK MoTHER-sHE KNOWS
BY ]. E. Jones

Statistics prove that the greatest
menace on the highway is not the
motor car but the person at the
wheel Collisions with other cars,
accidents between pedestrians and
cars travelling at high speed, and
driving on the wrong side of the
road, or failing to give the right of
way, are common causes for acct
dents occur on dry roads in clear
weather, which indicates that driv-
ers are more careful when driving
in bad weather
Current statistics indicate that
drivers as whole are improving,
and it is expected that the report
for 1889 will show fewer fatal
tragedies and fewer accidents, than
in previous years.
Young and middle-aged women
and girls are very resentful of ac-
cusals to the effect, that as drivers,
the female is more deadly than the
male. Strangely enough some young
er women find fault with the way
their mothers drive. We often
wonder whether that is why so many
mothers and grandmothers have
surrendered their place at the wheel.
The safety of our streets and high
ways are dependent upon the skill
and experiences of all classes of driv-
ers, and for that reason we find
watchful care being exercised over
the highways by the School Patrol,
Safety Councils and groups, as well
as by citizens everywhere.
In the book "We Drivers" it is
stated that 300pound car MAX
ing turn of 50O-foot radius, has to
overcome a centrifugal force of only
about 165 pounds at 20 miles an
hour. But at 80 miles an hour, that
force has grown to $50 pounds, and
at so it is nine times as great as at
20-over fourteen hundred pounds
trying it's best to push the car off the
road! We Drivers adds: "The only
thing that keeps us on the road in
the first place is the friction between
our tires and the road; the minute
the centrifugal force gets stronger
than the force of that friction, off
the road we CO.,
The booklet says the trouble is
that many drivers take needless
risks and chances. Ask Mother, she
knows good driving, and when to
lay poor driving on the youngsters,
or dad.

Lightweight Helium Has
Little Commercial Value

Practical commercial utility Of
the lightweight" helium discovered
in the air by University Of Califor-
MIA scientists remains extremely
doubtful, the scientists have report
ed.
DR.. Luis w. Alvarez, assistant
professor of physics, who, with Rob-
ert Cornog, graduate student from
Denver, detected submicroscopic
quantities of the lightweight helium
in ordinary air, reported the dis
covery is considered important to
the science of physics, but its pos
sible use in commercial form, such
as in lighter than air craft, is very
much in doubt.
Reason why the commercial util-
ity of lightweight helium is extreme
ly doubtful is that no method has
yet been devised to extract any type
Of helium from the air in disable
commercial quantities.
The scientists made their discov-
cry with the aid Of the university's
225-ton atom smashing cyclotron.
The United States has monop-
oily on heavy helium which has
lifting power 92.3 per cent that Of
hydrogen, the lightest known gas.

NOVEL PEACE PROJECT

Plans for a double-barreled peace
project to stimulate discussion on
the fundamental bases of permanent
peace throughout the country as
well as to gather the opinions OF
experts have been announced joint
ly by James T. Shotwell of New
York and William Allan Nelson,
formerly president of Smith College,
who are leading the movement
At a press interview in the Bit
more Hotel, details of plan were
made known for aiding the people
of the United States to follow the
democratic process in formulating
a program for organizing peace
upon a basis of freedom and JUS
tice. The project is divided into two
parts:
One: The establishment of COM
mission of outstanding experts to
study the Organization OF Peace.
DR.. Shotwell is chairman OF this
Commission which is Independent OF
any organization and is responsible
only to itself and it's executive com
mittee for it's report.
The Commission is sponsored by
the American Association of Uni
yersity Women, the American Union
for Concerted Peace Efforts, the
Church Peace Union, the League oil
Nations Association and the World
Citizens Association. Every school OF
thought on world affairs, every
group with definite stake in world
peace, such as labor, agriculture,
and commerce is represented in the
project.
Two: A nationwide discussion in
the small towns and cities of Amer
lea on the same subjects which the
Commission will consider. 1t is ex-
pected that hundreds of committees
throughout the country in business,
farm, labor, and women's groups
will study the fundamental bases
of peace and how to organize it.
Through the courtesy Of the Column
bia Broadcasting System the radio
will be used extensively to stimulate
this popular discussion.
DR.. William Allan Nelson IS
Chairman of the executive commit
tee for the project and the other
members are Lucius Eastman OF
New York City, Professor Clyde
Eagleton, New York University, Pro-
lessor Charles G. Fenwick OF Bryn
Mawr, Rogers S. Greene, Chicago;
DR.. Emily J. Hickman of the New
Jersey College for Women, and DR..

PARENTS CAN AID IN SAFETY
WORK
Should Stress the Value of School
Training

Parents can be of real help to
school Teachers in furthering safety
education by bringing to the atten-
ton of their children, regularly and
frequently, the painful and sometimes
fatal consequences which may result
from careless and thoughtless acts,
according to Kenneth N. Beadle,
education director of the National
Conservation Bureau, accident pre-
vention division of the Association
of Casualty and Surety Executives.
Mr.. Beadle, who in the past year
has lectured on safety education
methods to more than 1900 school
supervisors, teachers and represen-
atives. of Parent-Teacher organiza
lions throughout the country, gives
this seasonal advice to parents every
where:
1.-THE schools are doing an increas-
ingly effective job of keeping children
safe while at school and of building
in them attitudes and habits that will
help them to live safely through life
The home can cooperate to make
the school program more successful
by continuing to emphasize the con-
slant need for watchfulness on the
part of children.
What should the parent stress?
1t is not necessary that the mother
or father go into long list of don'ts,
or lecture the child every time he or
she goes out to play. But the parent
can emphasize certain things that
children do which lead to accidents.
"In cities these should particular
ly include: playing games in the
roadway, careless bicycle riding,
hitching on trucks, buses and troll
ley cars, and roller skating in the
roadway. These can be called the
most dangerous kinds of games in
trained to recognize the possibility
of danger when engaging in any of
these activities.
Gin the country the most danger
GUS activities are: coasting on sleds,
bicycle riding, and running across
the highway. Every year hundreds
of children meet death or injury
from these three causes. The wise
father and mother can help keep
their children from injury by MAX
ing them conscious of these dangers
while playing.
"a high school principal recently
had fourth year class list all the
serious accidents that they had per-
sonally experienced. The teachers
as we'll as the parents were shocked
to find that % children out of
class of "a had narrowly escaped
death and bore either scars or handi-
caps resulting from accidents.
"The parents of these children,
aided by the school authorities, lost
no time in drawing up safety rules
for use in families like their own.
The safety list should be as import
ant in the home as the grocery or
laundry list

422 TRAFFIC DEATHS IN 80

Annapolis, January 15-The final
figures on traffic deaths for 1888,
just released, showing a total of
422 lives lost during the IL months,
offers a direct challenge to the
people of Maryland, in the opinion
of Governor Herbert R. O'Conor and
the members of his Maryland Traffic
Safety Committee.
The one bright spot in the years
showing, Governor O'Conor feels, is
the fact that during the final three
months of October, November and
December, during which the Mary
land Traffic Safety Committee oper-
ated, there were total of less
deaths than in the corresponding
months of 1888. Had it not been
for the efforts put forth, the Traffic
Safety Committee believes the re-
suits, while distressing enough,
might have been much worse.
AS far as the counties of the State
were concerned, there was a marked
improvement. The 1899 total of traf-
fic deaths was 295, representing a
saving of Is lives over the previous
year. Some of the counties have
been particularly cooperative as
shown by the figures. Worcester, for
instance, had the remarkable i'm
provement of 1870, being success
full in reducing the 1889 total of Is
deaths to in '39. To that county
certainly goes the palm for the
State Close behind them, in percent
age, was St. Mary's with total of
2 deaths against 5 last year. Gar
rett had 500 decrease from 6 to
3 deaths.
Some Had Clean Slate
Interesting, too is the fact that
while some of the counties had an
increase in deaths for the year, a
number of those same counties had
"a clean slate following the organ
ization and fuctioning of the Gov
ernor's Traffic Safety Committee.
These counties with a perfect rec
ord since October LIST have good
start towards winning the Safety
Flags, that have been offered to the
five counties making the best record
for the IL months period from
October /, 1889, to October /, 1910.
The real dark spot in the States
picture is Baltimore City, in which
'39 showed an increase of 20 deaths,
totaling 127 against 107 the prev
ious year. on the increased side,
Hartford County made the poorest
showing, with additional deaths
against the total of IL in '38, while
Frederick, Anne Arundel, and Caro-
line each showed additional deaths.
