He released the first details Of a
new report on a cancer survey Of
the District area, at a meeting in
the Medical Society Building, 1718

The survey, based on statistics
gathered early last year, covered
cancer cases in 1916. 1t was con-

There were a total Of 4,067 cases
recorded in the District during that
year, the report said, including new
cases older ones already under
treatment and "checkup" patients
not under treatment. The total for
the Metropolitan area was 5,681.
Washington had higher rate OF
new cases than any other city in a
group for which statistics were
available, except New Orleans, Dr.
Mclean pointed out.

mo practicable number of cancer
clinics can examine enough people
to do the job" he declared. Semi
annual cancer examinations for
District residents over 40 would
mean about 100000 examinations
year, he pointed out.
Hopes for Registry Soon.
The Bureau of Cancer Control
hopes to put a cancer registry into
operation within the near future,
beginning with the 1916 figures, if
doctors and hospitals permit, DR..
Mclean said.
The higher the economic status
of Washington residents, as judged
by rent levels, the higher was the
incidence of cancer, the survey
showed
DR.. Mclean warned his audience
to be cautious about conclusions
from these statistics, however He
pointed out they may reflect not
only the actual cancer rates but
factors such as quality of medical
care, knowledge of cancer, education
and others.
The total case rate for the Dis
trict was 482 per 100000. That for
white females was 610 and for
white males 449 For colored per-
sons it was 1893 for females and 278
for males.

cancer in the District in 1916.

Salvation Army Aide Tells
OF Youth Programs Abroad

France and Finland, despite their
national problems, are among the
countries of the world where con-
structive programs for youth are
being emphasized, Col Edgar Grin
sted, international youth secretary
of the Salvation Army, said yes
terday.
Col. Grinsted of London is the
first to hold the position, created in
the army after the election of Gen
Albert Orsborn in 1916. He is tour
ing the United States and Canada
after visiting Sweden, Finland,
France and Switzerland.
While in France, Col. Grinsted
said in an interview at Salvation
Army headquarters. 1853 R street
NV, he noted especially the strong
Boy Scout representation.
In Finland, on the fringe of the
iron curtain, the small corps is
building a youth center which, it
is hoped, can be made one of the
most modern in the world, he said.
A former Royal Air Force flying
instructor, Col. Grinsted became a
Salvation Army officer in 1919.
