Il when this war comes 70 an

on getting a few things.
We know now that the air.

world. Our oceans are not

our cut for being the arsenal of
democracy, the banking house
where the credit never runs out.
We should demand all that land
about US that would help us
when the next attack comes.
You know the land ! am talk
ing about, and you know il is
essential in the defense Of our
shores. 1t must be essential,
else why should We have planes
and men and ships on that land
right now?
More than one Of our leaders
appear 10 be convinced that this
is the last war. that after this
one is finished there will be no
shooting. and that the nations Of
the earth will live together in
complete harmony.
Let US hope that is right. but
not many Of US would make a
bet on il without asking for

TT WAS in 1929 that the medi-
L cal profession began cam.
paign through its local and
state societies 10 educate the
public in the early diagnosis Of
cancer as A means 10 lessen the
mortality
In 1888 Congress passed an
act officially approving Of these
campaigns
Some cases Of cancer are in
plain sight and easy 10 see,
others are hidden and must be
suspected from the symptoms
II the patient is 70 help the
physician. he must know some
thing about the signs and symp-
toms Of all these groups.
I'VE first group Of cancers
L consists Of those visible 70

the skin, lip or mouth.
This is also probably The
most frequent form Of the con-
dition and certainly we can OK

this group
Any suspicious sore or rough
ing. Wart or growth on the skin
or on tho lip should be ex-
amined immediately by a COM
petent physician.
Because they are IN plain
sight and can be seen by the
patient himself or members Of
the fam ST =, tE1rv should never
become large or dangerous.
Yet the statistics show that
nearly 1000 deaths a year come
from cancer Of this kind.

them a country that is so pow
erful that no one will attack il
with any success.
AS l said before. and this SUBJ
ject is bit deep for me, the war
we are in right now is all the
proof any American needs that
the rest of the world doesn't
honor decency. We have worn
ourselves out being decent. and
what happens
We have TO throw il all aside.
and get right down to bedrock
with the barbarians and start
doing all the things they do, to
keep from being crushed.
SO. when the boys gather
around the peace conference
table, I hope our side will be
represented by some one who'll
say:
I'VE are tired OF being taken
for suckers. We are tired Of
talking nothing but loneliness.
We want as much as we can get
Of the earth's riches. 1t will help
us To make a good fight when
the next war comes along, and,
also we are likely tn be more
generous with those riches than
you other boys have been"

Why is il the United States
