The Cancer Prevention Crusade

HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS and public
spirited women Of the United States are
Waging an intensive campaign to combat the
spread of cancer which is one of the most
malignant Of diseases Medical science has
made great strides in the prevention and cure
IF this maady. 1t has been fully est Nlished
that cancer is curabe when cancer patients
receive proper medical treatment in the early
stages Of the disease.
There was a time in the not-distant past,
when it was generally believed that cancer
was incurable and individuals stricken with
it almost always gave up in despair, but that
belief has been disposed by cancer experts
who are curing hundreds of victims daily
There are on record numerous cases of
cancer cures and the various organizations of
women who are cooperating in the cancer
prevention crusade are educating the public
along this line. Lectures and movie demon
STATIONS are being made by leaders in the
cancer-preventon campaign at many public
gatherings in Detroit and other cities, with
highly beneficial results.
This is a splendid work indeed, and we
heartily commend the army of physicians,
nurses and members of sororities and other
organizations who are engaged in this hui
manitarian effort TO bring the message of
hope to cancer victims.
Intensive work is being done in this di-
rection in Wayne, Macomb and Oakland
counties, under auspices of the Women's
Field Army Of the American Society for the
Control Of Cancer.
We are told that in Michigan alone there
are about $4,000 people living with cancer
and 100 of them die every week. In Detroit,
there are l40 deaths from cancer each
month. Plans are under consideration for es-
tablishing cancer institute in Detroit, as an
auxiliary to the Medical college Of Wayne
university.

A Just Court Decision

ALL COLORED Americans are heartened
by the decision handed down Monday of
this week by the L. S. Supreme Court, in the
case of Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell YER
Sus the Pullman company, in which the Court
ruled that in future railroads will be required
by law to furnish tirst-claSS Pullman accom-
modations to Negroes, the same as to citizens
of other racial groups
This historic case has been in the various
courts Of the land for the past three years. 1t
was the outcome Of the refusal of the rail
roads to permit Congressman Mitchell to ride
in a Pullman car, while travelling in the South.
The contention at the time was that white
passengers We're unwilling to ride in Pullman
cars with Negro passengers and that 1t was
too expensive for the railroads to provide
separate Pullman service for the limited
number of Negro passengers desiring such
accommodations The recent decision of,the
US. Supreme Court. however, invalidates
this discriminatory practice.
The decision is Just one, in keeping
with the spirit Of American democracy. Ne
groes are among the nation S most loyal citi-
zens and certainly are entitled to the same
treatment and equal opportunities which
other Americans enjoy Why should we be,
Disseminated against by the railroads and
made to pay the same fares for inferior ac-
commodationS that other passengers pay for
frst-class accommodations?
Il is both unjust and un-American, as
scN as undemocratic, to penalize an indy
dual or a racial group. on account of color
We have had too much of this type Of discrim-
nation in all avenues of life. We deserve
greater consideration and Justice than our
race has been receiving, therefore, the ruling
Of the s. Supreme Court in the Mitchell
case this week is source Of encouragement
which brings with it the promise of better
things in the future.

Breaths OF Spring

One morning awoke to find
The world in radiant sunshine drowned
And down upon each roof tops caves
place to rest each sunbeam found.
"Ah, said unto myself,
What sights my sleepy blurred eyes behold
Young buds upon the lawn
That drink of soils transparent gold
Cheer-up within tree tops loft,
A robin gayly Sings his song,
And swels it fourth upon the air
Until in sound it wakes strong
Around the trunk Of yon elm tree,
spy growth of tender grass
That boldly skyward lifts its shoots
And breathes ethereal winds that pass.
Indeed. | said unto myself,
The months of spring are drawing nigh
For in the bosom Of yon cloud
| can see summer sky.
The sun streams through my window pane,
Splitting Ger its fervent gold,
Illuminating my abode with mrth
And driving out the snap and cold
All Springtime It's so soon TO come,
But welcome to this fretted soul,
With welcome, spring, ! greeteh thee
Pattern every hill and shoal.

Judge Davis, Tried Twice
On Fraud Charges, Resigns

By the Associated Press.
j. Warren Davis. retired Judge of
the Third Circuit Court of Appeals,
at Philadelphia. has submitted his
resignation to President Roosevelt,
White House sources said today.
Judge Davis was twice tried on
charges of conspiring to obstruct
Justice and defraud the United
States. but the juries disagreed in
both trials. The Justice Depart
ment then decided against a third
trial, and Attorney General Biddle
asked the House Judiciary Commit
tee to institute impeachment pro-
ceedings.
AS retired judge, Davis continued
to receive full pay of $4,000 a year
and remained available for assign
ment to duty in the Federal courts.
The resignation will remove him
from the list of judges.
Judge Davis was indicted last
March with William Fox, one-time
motion picture producer, and Nor
gan kaufman. Fox's attorney. Fox
pleaded guilty and was given
sentence of year and a day, from
which he has appealed. Kaufman
stood trial and the charge against
him has been dropped by the Justice
Department.
