The application OF George w

Liquor Commission, Richard Il,
Cam, executive secretary. annOun-
ced last week. BridgeVille has not

practically all of the so persons APP

der a provision of the liquor act
which states the commission may
refuse to issue any license if it has
reasonable ground to believe
that the granting of a license
is not demanded by public interest
Or convenience"

CAPITOL SPOTLIGHT--since the
passing Of the late Senator William
e. Borah, there is no influential
voice in the national Capitol TO turn
the spotlight on the varagies Of off,
cials conducting the foreign affairs
of our country. Hardly a day passes
without some inconsistent and inde-
fensible statement being made by
Administration sp0kesmen which
may affect the neutrality Of the Uni
ted States. An example Is the re-
cent utterance OF James Cromwell,
the U. s. Minister 10 Canada who
stated that the Allies must win to
preserve human freedom and urged
neutFals to become involved. This
indiscreet violation OF our neutral
ity ELECTED an 0utburst OF criticism
in Congress, several members even
demanding CrOmwell's immediate re-
call.
A tempest is brewing here over the
release Of military and aviation Sc
crets through the sale Of latest
planes to the Allies with the Presi-
dents approval; and grave ques-
tiOns of neutrality are not only in
Volved. but the defenses OF our ma
lion also. There are many develop |

NeopIastic Association
Closes D. T.. Session

The American Association for the
Study of Neoplastic Diseases closed
its September quarterly session at
the MoyfloWer Hotel yesterday.
In session since Thursday, the
group yesterday heard a discussion
of patients treated with testoste-
rone-a recently developed sex hor-
none compound.
DR.. Samuel A. Vest of the Univer-
sity of Virginia told and illustrated
with slides changes effected in pa
tients by the compound, which now
can be taken internally, he said,
whereas previously it was given by
hypodermic needle or subcutaneous
insertion of pellets.
DR.. Vest said that testosterone
does not rejuvenate senility, but
added that it had taken effect on
men up to A years of age. The
compound had the effect of deepen
ing voices and causing boards to
sprout on previously hairless faces.
DR.. Vest asserted that all patients
taking the treatment conquered in
feriority complexes.
The association, which will hold
its next session in Baltimore shortly
before Christmas, elected DR.. Roscoe
w. Teahan' of Philadelphia presi-
dent. Other officers elected were DR..
Julian L. Rawls, vice president; DR..
Janvier w. Lindsay, treasurer; DR..
