New Clues
To Cancer
Discovered
BY G. ID. LAL

DISCOVERY of highly signifi-
~ cant new clues concerning
cancer in human beings, might
greatly aid in the development
of special chemical measures for
the control of this scourge of
mankind, came TO light here to-
day at the Memorial Hospital.
DR.. Cornelius p. Rhoads, ma
tionally famed director of the
hospitals research departments,
and his staff of co-workers, Drs.
K. Dobriner and f. Gordon, in
collaboration with Harvard Uni
versity's noted chemists. profess
sors Louis +. Fieser and S. Lie
herman have found the following
new keys for solving the riddle
of cancer:
There are differences, both in
relative amounts and in quality,
of certain chemical substances
eliminated from the bodies of the
cancer patients as compared
with those of normal persons.
These differences are of con-
siderable significance, although
at present il is not claimed by
the scientists that they can be
employed at once for devising
standard tests for the earliest
diagnosis of cancer.
They provide new and appar-
emily important basis for further
research which. it is hoped by
the investigators, would throw
the desired light upon how cam
Ger develops in the human body,
and how it could be detected in
the earliest stages and treated
by methods of greater effective
ness than any now known.
A S THE result of the present
"A investigation, which was
started some three years ago
and has already cost between 35
and 40 thousand dollars, seien-
tific attention is focused upon
"steroid hormones" that are ex-
CIeteu IN the normal kinney MUD
Of the body.
The fluid OF normal persons.
cancer patients and of patients
OF the disease of enlarged and
overactive adrenal cortex gland
was chemically analysed.
The fluid contained steroid
substances, and out of these four
varieties of neutral" that is
neither acid nor alkaline, ma
terials were picked out. Each
OF these materials was made up
OF several specific chemical SUBJ
stances which were separated.
Thus il was learned that in
the body fluid Of normal persons
there is constant proportion be-
tween the four groups of the
materials. But in cancer patients
such balance does not exist,

ONCE there is so much being
~ said about sharing the

hindering the practice.
A fellow driver complained
to me why he disliked the idea.
He pointed out that there are
too many people who say they
wouldn't own an automobile
and yet expect to treat another's
just like a public conveyance

dows so as to streak sides, and
If smoking, let the ashes fall

Now I shall quote my friend
directly, he says:

year-old cars and, rs they have
spare time, spend several months
fixing and putting their cars In

cleaning and polishing; In other
words, IL they love automobiles

Defense Bonds Given Away
In San Francisco Lottery
BY DAMON RUNYON

T AM commencing to think that
u the city of San Francisco
must be nothing short of a lot
terry fans paradise. L have al
ready told you about the Chinese
lottery and the sweepstakes and
the numbers game that prevail
there and now 1 have a little
data on still another form of
San Francisco lottery that
seems quite interesting.
This style seems to be under
the auspices OF the various or
CARNATIONS with rather high
sounding names which employ
well printed water m r k e d
paper for their tickets and 1 am
told that il is an out-and-out
drawing of numbers following
closely the lines of the old
fashioned and quite simple
method that 1 have been urging
for a federal lottery for army
and navy relief.
The numbers are placed in a
receptacle called a drum and
thoroughly mixed up by twirling
the drum and then drawn out
one after the other, a system
familiar to millions of Ameri-
cans because it is the way the
draft numbers are drawn.
The San Francisco drawings
in one Of the organizations
sponsoring this form Of lottery
are once a week, in another
twice a month.
I notice from tickets at hand
that one organization is called a
club and the other an associa-
ton. The latter mentions a
not altogether unworthy pur-
pose for its lottery-a building
fund.
It has special awards of de-
Tense bonds besides cash prizes.
The other organization does not
suggest a specific purpose in
the literature that has been fur
nished me.
I AM told that there are quite
a number of other clubs or
associations in San Francisco
besides these two which deal in
similar drawings and as there
can scarcely be much secrecy in
what must be a wide circulation
of the tickets, Judging from the
number of prize winners set
forth. l will assume that the
operators have developed an
angle that keeps the enterprise
within legal bounds. just as 1
assume they did on the Ken
lucky Derby sweepstakes that
was held there.
/ must find out what this
angle is. Any time anybody
tries TO hold a drawing of num-

bers for prizes in the East, old
Sam Lawbook steps in and
kicks up an awful fuss. 1t
develops chatter and grand jul
ries and indictments and other
unpleasant subjects. There is
really no justice for lottery en-
thusiastS east of the Rockies.
In the twice-a-month San
Francisco drawing the stubs Of
the tickets are attached in the
drum. No half tickets are sold.
One can keep the same number
for each drawing, or not, as de-
sired.
I observe that most of the
winners on the list at hand used
phoney names, but ii seems that
when an alias is employed the
ticket-holder must also put his
correct name and address on the
stub. If capital prize Is
awarded, the winner must re-
ceipt in his right name, presum-
ably for the in me tax
collector.
THE weekly drawing OF the or
Il ganization whose literature
has reached me does not use
counterfeit or stub. The full
price of ticket is 81. All win
ming coupons must be redeemed
within 30 days or are void.
The numbers in this drawing
are said TO be drawn from a bar
rel. l am told that in some OF
the San Francisco drawings
fractional tickets may be pur-
chased. and in fact / have a
ticket that is called half cou-
pom priced at so cents.
1 have no means Of knowing
how much money these San
Francisco organizations handle,
except that the membership OF
one is placed at nearly $4,000
and allowing that each mem
Der" of just this organization in
vests so cents per drawing twice
a month, the aggregate sum be-
comes right healthy in the
course of a year.
And a large number of spon-
soring organizations of approx
mately the same size would take
the total of the handle of the
San Francisco lottery business
into staggering figures.
If the operators are within the
law, i have nothing to say about
their enterprise. l am contend
ing for substantially the same
thing. only on a national scale
and legally. If the San Fran
cisco formula is law-proof as the
general nature Of the operation
indicates. maybe I should adopt
il and not wait on Congress.
