ANN ARBOR, Mich, Feb. ID
-(P-University of Michigan
scientists, working on a theory
developed by a University of
Chicago surgeon, today present
ed what they termed startling
evidence" to confirm a belief
that Il is now possible to arrest
one kind of cancer.
The type is that which affects
the prostate gland, a cancer
which they say is present in 20
per cent of all men over 60, and
which kills many of them.
A report to the Brooklyn and
Long Island chapters of the
American College of Surgeons
declared that the Michigan doc
tors had given amazing relief"
to about IS per cent of the pa
tients under observation.
HIGGINS METHOD
The treatment, known as the
Higgins Method, is SO new that
the doctors will not say whether
il is a cure. But they are en-
thusiastic in describing the ire
lief II brings in a majority of
their cases.
The significance of the results,
according to U. of M. doctors,
is that the method represents
the first biological control of
any cancer and it provides re-
lief from the suffering caused
by common disease of old age.
The surgeons freely called the
discovery lone of the most i'm
portant medical advances of
modern times"
DR.. Charles B. Higgins, pro-
lessor of surgery at the Univers-
ity of Chicago, developed the
method, based on his expert
ments with sex hormones.
SMALL GLAND
The prostate is a small sex
gland that enlarges w h e n at
fected with cancer. In about
half the cases this cancer spreads
to nearby bone tissues, causing
excruciating pain, and In many
cases the swollen gland affects
the bladder. Both types are
often fatal.
DR.. Higgins reported to the
American Medical Association
last June his belief that male
sex hormones were responsible
for this cancer. BY injecting
male sex hormones he found the
tumor growth was accelerated.
BY depressing the production Of
the male sex hormone, he was
able to retard the cancer. His
treatment Is castration.
Cases observed during two
year period he reported as show
ing highly encouraging re-
suits" He has several cases
treated two years ago whose
cancers have shown no indica-
ton of resuming growth.
University of Michigan doc
tors have treated 80 such pa
tients during the past II months.
OF these, % had entered the hos
pital in "agonizing pain"
COMPLETE RELIEF
Within 48 to ~ hours after
operation Is of them had what
the doctors called complete re-
lief from pain" Three others
had partial relief" three had
mo relief"
On 80 consecutive cases, OBJ
served long enough to measure
results, the Michigan doctors
made this report: "Three cancers
h ave completely disappeared

ASSEMbLI
The successful magazine cam
paign has come to an end and
over $1100 was taken in. The
students really got behind the
challenge for profits for the high
school and themselves and went
way over the top. One student
sold nearly $50 worth while
many sold five subscriptions or
more. The profits realized will
go to pay for bigger and better
assembly programs and a flag
pole for the Bather Athletic
Field. Today, many beautiful
prizes were given out to the
various winners.

General Death
Rate Declines
During 1871

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18-(P1
The general death rate in the
United States declined consid-
erably last year, but the deaths
from automobile accidents kept
going up.
The u. S. public health serv-
ice reported toda- that the gen.
eral death date during 194l was
approximately so persons less
per thousand in the population
last year as compared with 1910.
The death rate from automobile
accidents increased ID per cent
and the deaths rate from acct
dents other than those connect
ed with automobiles increased
by 2 per cent.
Deaths from tuberculosis, dia-
betes, cerebral hemOrrhage,
heart disorders, pneumonia and
disease of the digestive system
and kidneys were relatively
less numerous, the summary
said.
An expected outbreak of in
fluenza resembling that Of 1918
and 1919 has thus far failed to
materialize. Officials of the pub
lie health service and the Army
and Navy had expressed fears
that due to present crowded
conditions in camps and in
areas near defense production
areas an epidemic of flue might
break out this winter. However,
the number of new cases during
the last week on which reports
are available totaled only 4,899,
compared with 81 500 cases dur
ing the same week a year ago.

Action of Board of Public At
fairs Believed Satisfactory
To Council
Field Fence Four Feet High
SurmOunted by Barbed
Wire EnclOSes Plant

Differences between the board of
public affairs and the town council
over the type of fence to be used in
enclosing Buttons municipal elec-
trio light and waterworks plant ap-
peared to have been settled the first
of the week when field fence sur
mounted by barbed wire was erected
on orders from the board.
Mayor w. A. Howe, presumably
rejecting views of the town council
stated that he considered the type
of fence satisfactory.
The two bodies had previously diff
fered sharply as to the type of fence
to be used as anti-sabotage protec-
ton. Protective measures were or
dered by the war department since
the plant here furnishes electric cur
rent to industries engaged in war
production.
FIELD FENCE ERECTED
The field fence, four feet high sur
mounted by three strands of barbed
wire extends along Harmon road
from the cyclone fence enclosing the
water reservoirs to connect with the
fence of the Page Dairy plant.
The council had previously in
sisted on cyclone fence while the
board of public affairs planned to
erect a fence entirely of barbed
wire.
