FAMOUS STEAMER VICTORIA COMING
 BACK TO ALASKA
Alaska Line Announces Conversion of Old Ship
 Into Freighfer

The famous old steamship Vic toria, former Cunarder Whic h helped to make history over many decades of sailing to Alaska, is to sail north again. The Alaska Steamship Company has announced the Victoria will be converted into a freighter at the West Seattle yards of the company, with work to start at once.
 Built 70 years ago at Dunbar ten, Scotland, she first was in the transatlantic. passenger run as the luxurious liner Parthia of ti9e Cunard Line. The trade grew until ships of her size were not large enough to handle it so she was diverted into other routes.
 She worked in many trades in cluding the Australian and from the U. s. West Coast to the Orient. She later entered the Alaska serv- ice and had been familiar figure in Alaskan ports until laid up for more than three years.
 Many famous Alaskan navigators trod her bridge, among tn e n Dynamite" Johnny O'Brien, col orful skipper who brought her into Nome through all kinds of weather until she acquired fame as the ship that always made port.
 Speedy, Strong Hull She will be a handy ship agair 1 in her new role as a freighter, fol she does 1872 knots and hel staunch iron hull is ready for many more years at sea.
 Because of her thick iron plates she was particularly suited for tn, northern run and proved herself { real ice breaker when occasion l arose.
 The Victoria was built in 1870 She measures 3606 feet over all has a beam of 404 feet, depth o 34.3 feet and is of 3,914 tons gros and 2,355 net tons.

area which is sterilized and linn its the spread of the cancer and also heals very rapidly. Approxi- mately 80 to 90 percent of the cancers of the skin are cured. Of course, these include those which have received reasonable medical care and have been taken care of before they developed and spread too fully. The most common type of cancer in women is the cancer of the cervix, at the opening of the uterus. Next in rank of inn portance, is the cancer of the stomach, cancer of the breast and in the male is the cancer of the prostate gland. AS a general rule. cancer is a disease of in- diVidualS past 35 years of age. Some say that there are more cancers today than in the past, but we must stop to think of the great strides which have been taken in the advance of the med ical profession and all the mod ern conveniences which have aid ed all medicine. If wound does not heal readily, or a lump be- gins to appear, or one has any abnormal developments, they should be watched. For internal cancer, increased irregular dis charge, or return to flow after change of life in women, and blood at any time in the urine of men, are suspicious. Cancer of the stomach and bowels are more difficult to discover, but chronic indigestion, rectal bleeding pain or other symptoms of local irrita ton should be corrected. Cancer must be checked in the early stag es. Remember that there is hope in the right treatment at the right time but grave danger in delay.

EDITORIAL
ALASKA EXPOSED WHILE CONGRESS TALKS

Why all this heSitancy on the part of congress over an ade- quate appropriation for the de- fense of Alaska. Why withhold funds for the long proposed air base or net work of Alaskan units as originally planned.
 While members of the ? hous- es talk, Alaska Is exposed and barren of defensive land units as the day she was taken over from Russia. The handful of soldiers 100 or so-at Chilkoot Barracks is no larger than the force quar- tered at Sitka the day of the his toric transfer.
 True, a four million-dOllar "eX perimental air station being installed at Fairbanks-but an eX perimental station is far from a defensive or combat force. Is AL aska to continue to face potential enemies in a mere experiment al stage?
 What would be the result to- day if enemy squadrons would appear anywhere over the 60O,- 900 square miles of Alaskan terri tory-or along her 26,000 miles of far-flung coast line.
 Alaska would be as helpless as little Denmark was a few days .ago-and she had a standing ar my of 10000 men, nothing as ar mics go today, but a mighty cor trast to the condition of Alaska today with 100 armed men a Chilkoot and not single fight ing plane or piece of war equiI ment anywhere within our terri tory.
 If Uncle Sam is going to dC something for the defense of Al aSka and go beyond the "experi- mental station" stage it is time to get going.

 Dr. Morcom was then called up on to speak on Cancer Control. In speaking on Cancer, there is one important thing to remember and that is that cancer can be cured if proper care is taken in the beginning. Cancer covers a large group of groWths and are known according to the tissues that they invade. We have the cancer of the skin, cancer of the glands, and another type which is similar to boney type growth. When the Cancer begins, it be- gins in one place-localiZed And it is at this time that 1t can be attacked successfully. It Is from this one place. or seed, that the cancer begins to grow and spread It can be removed with no fur ther growth or danger, There are three methods of attack that are considered very good. First, the surgical method which removes the cancer by cutting it out. Sec ond the use of the X-ray which kills the growth but damages a small portion of the normal tis- sue around the cancer. Third, the use of radium which acts much the same as the X-ray treatment. There is a fourth method and that is the use of the cautery knife which does not cut but burns through and leaves an

The big Tulane forwards opened
wide gaps for their backs and
bottled up Clemson's attack almost
completely. The Tigers got only
four first downs, two coming on
fakes and one on a pass. Tulane
rolled up % first downs and was
constantly driving into Clemson

much yardage when fumbles or

thrusts.

TO make a game of it and several
of his long passes missed by inch
es, but Tulane showed an improved
pass defense and h S receivers
were usually covered.
From the beginning it seemed
only a question of how long the
fighting visitors could last against
Tulane power. The Greenies push
ed into Clemson territory five
times before scoring. A tumble
stopped them once on the Is and
four other times Clemson took over
in the general vicinity of its 30
