Atty Gen. Rules
on Twp. Road
Responsibility

Township trustees have con-
troll of township roads in their
township and are charged with
the positive duty of maintain
ing, repairing and keeping them
safe for travel, Attorney Gener-
al Thomas J. Herbert held this
week in an opinion to John M.
Kiracofe, Preble county prose
cutor.
Mr.. Kiracofe said trustees of
jefferson township wanted to
know if they could contract with
an individual for maintenance
and repair of roads for a period
of five years.
"This duty may be delegated
to some individual by means of
a contract under the terms of
which such individual, for a stip-
ulated sum, agrees to maintain
and repair the township roads
for a fixed period of time," Mr.
Herbert ruled.
Mr.. Herbert said the trustees
cannot divest themselves of the-
right to discharge the road sup
erintendent at their pleasure
Determination of policy remains
a matter of discretion Of the
trustees even after appointment
of superintendent.

Jesse E. Berger
Cops First Prize In
Basketball Contest

Jesse E. Berger, 228 Hunter
street, is going to have at least
a $500 item under that question
in the income tax blank which
says "all other income" Of
course Jesse won't have to worry
about that for another year so
as soon as he comes to the Lead
er office and picks up his $500
first prize for winning the Lead
er's fourth Basketball Contest,
which ended February 20, he
can start celebrating.
Mr.. Berger may be just lucky
but his entry looked like he
knows his stuff about basket
ball in the Central Ohio League.
Anyway he was doing some fine
picking. And Bud Cole of 338
w. Main street, picked his Win
ners we'll too-he pressed Mr..
Berger but could only come in a
close second, which gives him
two basketball tickets that he'll
want to be using this Friday to
watch Newark beat 1--WE hope)
GAINESVILLE. Third prize winner
is Ed Hupp, 1873 Franklin aven-
ue, who also receives two bas-
ketball tickets.
In fourth place is man you
all know as winner of the first
prize in the first contest. Yep,
Ray Ponser is back to take
fourth prize and one basketball
ticket this time. We've been
watching his entries and they've
all been good but not in the prize
winners since the first time.

was highly improper" and posi-
lively contrary to the wide-open
policy of the American free press
which you as a former newspaper
man learned to respect and cherish
some years ago"
Mr.. Knox reiterated the state
ment that the British government
feels that German morale will be
injured If, when a submarine is
sunk, it simply disappears without
German officials knowing exactly
what happened to it"
"As you know" he added, this
policy proved very successful during
the first World War. Ger
man submarine crew morale grew
so bad that it was in large part
responsible for the mutiny in the
German feet at Kiel"
Mr.. Park replied today that he
still believes in telling what goes
on in time of war" and in cutting
notcheS on the gunstock.
Relatives, friends and fellow
townsmen will be eagerly scanning
the reports of every naval engage
ment and closely scrutinizing cas-
ualties and survivors," the publisher
said. Giving them the results of all
engagements, including those with
submarines. is just part of the wide
open policy of keeping the Nation

New, Simple Method
In Diagnosing Hidden
Cancer Reported
Tumor Fragments From
Fluids of Chest and
Abdomen Studied

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. l3-Diag-
noSis of hidden cancer by studying
and other fluids of the chest and
abdomen was described today before
the Southern Medical Association.
DR.. Hugh letter of Oklahoma
City told members of the Organiza-
ton this method is not substitute
for X-ray or surgical exploration,
but is great aid in proving or
disproving the existence OF the
disease in doubtful cases.
In this approach to cancer dag
nosis fluids are taken from the
lungs and the abdominal cavity
and studied under the microscope
to locate. if present tiny fragments
of cells which are not present in
normal body fluids.
If they are found they indicate
the presence of tumOr or cancer
and give physician or surgeon a
clue to the possible location of the
growth. enabling him to proceed
with an exact diagnosis and early
treatment with X-ray, surgery or
radium
In cases where such groWthS
throw off cell particles which are
not normal and which may be
readily recognized this routine ex-
animation is not only justifiable
but is more direct diagnostic pro-
cedure than X-rayS. blood counts
ANALYSIS of the urine and other
examinations. DR.. letter declared.
The examination, which promises
to save hundreds of lives through
the early diagnosis of cancer. is a
comparatively simple one. The eX-
aminlne surgeon makes a tiny in
cision into the abdominal or chest
cavity. inserts troCar. which is a
small hollow needle. and draws out
fluid. This is taken to a patholo-
giSt, who places it under the micro
scope and if queer looking cell frag-
ments show up it is indica ton. but
not proof, that a tumor or cancer
is present.
from SUCH tAdlllllldtIOIlS IL may
be assumed that the presence of
tumor fragments in the fluids is
indicative of the spreading OF a
cancerous growth and is, therefore.
obviously equivalent to malignant
disease Dr.. letter said The Okla
homa physician and his associates
missed the diagnosis on fewer than
10 per cent of the persons they
