people apart who think, live and suffer
different from other nations.
When a German girl argued that the
German problem is not a national or
internal problem, but rather one Of adj
iustment to the community of nations,
a non-German in the group remarked
that if more Germans felt that way the
problem would be solved. Answering
this, the German chairman of the group
remarked the first speaker had had too
much contact with the Allies.
Mr.. Clark cited this case obviously
as indicating the deep of national
ism in the younger German generation
due to their long training in totali-
tarianism. This sense of a separate
national life is de%ep-bedded, but it is a
hopeful sign that the young woman
who pointed out the need for adjustment
to the community of nations is certain
dy not alone in her views. It may be
a hard road ahead, but her view in
dicates that, whether she absorbed it
through contract with the Allies or not,
the idea has taken root.

When Jesus Was Born

Now when Jesus was born in Beth
lehem of Judea in the days of Herod
the king, behold, wise men from the
east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where
is he that is born King Of the Jews
for we saw his star in the east, and are
come to worship him.
And when Herod the king heard it
he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with
him. And gathering together all chief
priests and scribes of the people, he
inquired of them where the Christ
should be born. And they said unto
him, in Bethlehem of Judea for thus
it is written through the prophet.
And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah.
Art in no wise least among the princes
of Judah: For out of thee shall come
forth a governor, Who shall be shep-
herd of my people Israel.
Then Herod privily called the wise
men and learned of them exactly what
time the star appeared. And he sent
them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and
search out exactly concerning the young
child; and when We have found him,
bring me word, that I also may come
and worship him. And they, having
heard the king, went their way; and
10, the star, which they saw in the east,
went before them, till it came and stood
over where the young child was. And
when they saw the star, they rejoiced
with exceeding great joy.
And they came into the house and
saw the young child with Mary his
mother; and they fell down and wor-
shipped him, and opening their treas.
ures they offered unto him gifts, gold
and frankincense and myrrh. And
being warned of God in a dream that
they should not return to Herod. thew
departed into their W country anoth.

German Nationalism

Some time ago DR.. Max Rheinstein.
professor Of comparative law at the
University of Chicago, organized youth
discussion groups in Germany with the
avowed purpose of spreading a belief in
the freedom of democracy. Doctor
Rheinstein has since returned to the
United States, but the work is being
conducted by the American Military
Government to foster a democratic spirit
among the young folk of Germany.
Delbert Clark, a contributor to the
New York Times, recently visited one
of the group sessions and came to the
conclusion that there is still a LONG hard
road to travel. The subject discussed at
the meeting Mr.. Clark attended was

The Doctor Says
NOT LIKELY
TO STRIKE FAMILY
BY WILLIAM A.. O'BRIEN. M. n

AVA Ia
If there is a history of cancer in
your family, you should nav
special attention to the possible
warning signs and report them
promptly to your physician; but
you are by no means doomed ia
contact the disease. Insurance
companies pay no attention TO a
family history of lancer in iudo,
ing risks, even when both parent,
died Of disease.
Family histories of cancer arc
being collected at the present time
and it is hoped that when mora
information is available a positive
answer as to the danger of cancer
can be given in every case, reports
the Illinois Cancer Bulletin. But
until additional facts are known,
We can do no more than generalize
Strains Of mice have been de-.
veloped in which nearly all ths
animals contract cancer of Ger.
tain organs if they live lonp
enough. and other breeds produced
do not contract the disease at all
Animal results will not answer
all the questions in humans, how.
ever, for the mice are selectively
mated.
Certain cancers which develop
at an early age and involve both
sides of the body Cloth eyes, for
example), or which spring up
throughout an entire organ such
as the colon, are inherited. Other
members of the victims family
have a high probability of deveI.
oping the same kind of growths.
The presence of cancers of in.
ternal organs, including the breast,
in a family history is thought to
increase slightly the chances Of
another member of the family's
having the same disease. But this
tendency is not so marked as it is
in the group listed above.
Cancer of the skin surface, OF

commonly result from exposure 10
irritants. An inherited factor is
not of great importance in their
development.
Identical twins have a tendency
to develop the same form Of in.
ternal cancer at the same time,
but non-identical twins who are
separate individuals do not show
this tendency. When one identical
twin develops a growth, the other
should be on the alert and report
any abnormalities to a physician.
If you have cancer in your fam
lily, remember that even in experi'
mental mouse cancer other factors
have been found to operate where
inheritance was thought to be The
only cause.
QUESTION: I have a mole on
my face. It seems to be getting
larger, and at times is is very
itchy. Is there any possibility OF
its developing into cancer?
ANSWER: Yes. Consult a physi-
clan about Its removal if it is
showing signs Of Irritation and
growth.
