DE-SALTING KITS GO FOR 5 GENTS;
 NEW PRICE SET

WASHINGTON. Oct. 11.--There should be some red faces in Wash ington today now that the full story has teen told about surplus item known as a de-salting kit.
 The Armed Services turned over to the War Assets Administration hundreds of thousands of these de-salting kits, which are used in wartime to make ocean water fit 10 drink. The WAA wondered what possible use such kits could be in peace-time Thus, it figured dis posing of them would be difficult
 At first the kits moved slowly some selling as low as five cents Then. suddenly, a great demand de- velcped. The prospective purchas- CTS were very coy about wanting the kits. One person said he want cd them because they were put up in such a pretty bag.
 The War Assets Administration got suspicious. An official at the agency. Milton Hammer, saw that pcnents of the chemical used to penents of the chemical used to de-salt the water He sent a kit 10 the Bureau of Standards to have it appraised. The bureau found the kit contained five ounces of pure silver. worth $450 in pure form, The WAA then froze all sales of the item, which had sold for as little as a nickel,
 Now the 235,O00 remaining kits are being offered to the highest bidder, with bottom price set at S3.75 each. The bidding is expect cd to average well above S4 each. By the way, originally the kits set the government hack $20 apiece.

CHICAGO LEADS IN
NEGRO SCOUTING

CHICAGO, June II (ANP) =
Chicago leads the nation in Scout
ing for Negro boys, with 3,014
registered Cub Scouts and Boy
Scouts recorded as of Jan. l, ac-
cording to bulletin just issued
by Stanley A. Harris, national di-
rector of the interracial service of
the National Council, Boy Scouts
of America.
The report shows that Negro
Scout membership has climbed
from a figure of 5,400 Scouts and
Scout leaders in 1926 to a figure
of 120,023 at the end of 1915. In
the same period the number Of
Negro Scout executives rose from
2 to ia. The national interracial
committee was organized in 1926.
The report stated that the in
crease in Negro Boy Scouts is graft
flying, though the record in Cub
Scout membership is not up to the
general national standard. The re-
port recommended that efforts be
concentrated on the recruiting Of
Cub Scouts and the organization Of
Senior Scout Units.
The report further stated that
much work is still needed in the

the promotion of the advancement
program for all Sourts. Regular
meetings of the Scoutmasters'
Roundtables were recommended,
along with more long range camp
planning.
Though the Chicago Council
boasts the largest number of Negro
Scouts in the country, there is still
tremendous job to be done in order
to make the Scout program avail
able to all of the Negro boys who
desire and need it. According to

Early Treatment
Of Cancer Urged
Mississippians

Twice as many American died
from cancer as were reported dead
or missing in all theatres of battle
during the war years, revealed Mrs.
Elizabeth Yates, state commander
of the Mississippi Division of the
American Cancer Society, as she
appealed to people to support the
fight against a disease that has
steadily increased in the state.
at is time for us to stop and think
of the 1000 individuals in Mississippi
who died last year from cancer
and to realize that many of these
people could have been saved by
early and adequate treatment, said
Mrs Yates. ut is time for us to
give thoughtful consideration to the
fact that one of every eight deaths
reported is due to cancer. 1t is more
than tim for us to organize our for
ces through county units and to
put into effect a statewide program
to control further ravages from a
disease that is called the Number
One killer today. Certainly every
body will want to help protect his
own home and that of his neigh
Dor by supporting fully the cam
paign to eliminate pain for suf-
ferers, tobring hope to those strick-
en- and to prevent needless deaths
by education"
Urging the people of Mississippi
to learn the first SYMPTOMS that may
mean cancer and to seek competent
advice promptly, Mrs. Yates re-
ported that so percent of the funds
raised by county will remain in
that county for the care of cases
that may occur there. Of the re-
mainder, she said that 10 percent
goes to the maintenance of the
state office, which carries on a
year round educational work and
also handles many cases of cam
Ger, and the other 40 percent is
used by the national society for re-
search work and maintenance of
the services given by that office.
She called attention to the avail
able information that may be Sc
cured from the county or local
health office or from the state Of
flee, and reminded her listeners
that cancer invades any home and
that anyone is a potential victim.

COMMITTEE NAMED TO STUDY
CONSTRUCTION OF CHARTER
HEAD OF TUSKECEE
NAMED ON COMMITTEE

Washington, D. C. - DR.. F. D.
Patterson, president of Tuskegee In
stitute, has been appointed by
American Red Cross Chairman Basil
O'Connor to an advisory committee
OF n to study the structure of the
organization.
Since Congress granted the Red
Cross its charter in 1905, Mr..
O'Connor said, there has been no
attempt to bring the Charter and
Bylaws and corporate structure
into line with the present-day ac-
tivities and operations of Red Cross.
For example, in 1905 the American
National Red Cross had no chapters;
today, there are 1854 chapters and
5578 branches, and yet there is no
clear definition of the place or func-
ton of these units in the total or
ganizational structure of the Ameri-
can National Red Cross. Such a
condition cannot be permitted to
continue.
"The broad objective of this Com
mittee is two-fold. First, to make
certain that all the American peo-
pie who constitute the American
National Red Cross have adequate
representation in shaping the poll
cies of the national organization;
and second, to review the corporate
structure of the American National
Red Cross to insure the most effec-
tive handling of programs"
E. Roland Hartman, New York,
who is serving in a volunteer capa-
city as manager of the organiza-
tons North Atlantic Area, was
named committee chairman, and
Charles M.Spofford, of Davis, Polk,
Wardell, Sunderland and Kiendl,
was designated to act as counsel.
In addition to the chairman, the
committee consists of the following.
