Use Of Speakers Bureaus
In Fight on Cancer Urged

Assistant Health Officer Daniel l..
Seckinger, who is co-ordinating the
local community cancer campaign,
today urged Washington to make
full use of the speakers bureaus set
up by the Districts medical leaders
to help in combating the Districts
mortality rate from this disease.
Pointing out that the Districts
high death rate from cancer in 1899
was due largely to the fact that
Washington has a population with
a high proportion of older people.
DR.. Seckinger added:
But the fact remains that most
cancer deaths occur because the
patients are not seen in the early
stages when they could take full
advantage of the great advances of
medical science"
DIR. Seckinger said the Health De-
partment'S first step to correct this
situation is through education. For
this purpose speakers bureaus have
been set up. Any group, he said,
may apply to the following for
speakers and information on the
subject:
The District Medical Society,
Theodore Wiprud, secretary: the
Med1co-C -Chirurgical Society, DR..
Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, chair

charge Of = cents for each bag or
parcel carried by the station porrers.
Announcement of the new system
was made last night by B. r. Tolson,
manager of the Washington Termi-
nal Co., who said the establishment
of uniform rate will make the
Red Cap service more efficient"
and will eliminate any uncertainty
or misunderstanding in the minds
OF passengers as to how their bags
and parcels are to be handled and
rs to what constitutes reasonable
and proper payment"
The porters will attach identifica-
ton checks to each piece of luggage,
turning the stubs over to the pass
enger. When the bags have been
taken to the destination directed by
the patron, the porter will collect
the stubs, together with 10 cents for
each article handled.
Mr.. Tolson pointed out that the
new plan will enable the company
to place its staff of porters on uni
form wage basis, thereby eliminate
ing legal complications which have
arisen regarding the status of red
caps as employees and tips as COM
pensation for their work. The port
ers will act as collection agents for
the company under the fiat payment
system.

Clearing Weather AI|oys Fears
Of Potomac River Flood

Clearing weather-an aftermath
of a 2-inch rainfall that drenched
Washington yesterday-allayed any
fears today of flood stages or the
Potomac River and gave assurance
the cherry trees would blossom on
schedule this week end.
Flood waters which covered q
portion of the Washington -Balti-
more boulevard at Bladensburg, Nd,
to depth Of more than q foot last
night had receded this morning,
leaving little damage In its wake.
At the height of the flood water
was washing over the running boards
of automobiles, police reported, al
though highway trafnc remained
open.
Swollen streams In Rock Creek
Park forced park police to close all
fords for an indefinite period, while
a watch was kept on Hams Point

Proposition Unworkable.
As a practical proposition, that
time never would come, for a per-
fectly balanced apportionment is
not possible of attainment. The
territories always are in arrears
the Virgin Islands, for example, still
is to fill even one of its nine al
lotted places-and some of the
States never furnish suflcient eligi-
bles to reach their quota. Inevit-
ably, then. there always will be over
quota and under-quota States, and
residents of the former would be up
against an insurmountable and un-
fair barrier.
Here is the present status Of ap-
portionment:
There are approximately $1,000
positions in the apportioned service,
which represents 40 per cent of the
total local Federal employment and
6 per cent of the national total.
