Dover Is Not The
Smallest Capital
Investigation DisclOses There Are
Two Others Smaller

AS American cities go, Dover is
comparatively small, yet it is not
the smallest of state capitals adj
vises the State Development De-
partment.
In fact, Delaware's capital city
is larger than two other state capi-
tails and may eventually overtake
two other state capitals according
to the state information agency.
Examination of preliminary re-
ports for the 1860 census, recently
released by the U. S. Census Bur-
eau, discloses that Dover, with T.
232 persons within> its corporate
limits. is larger than Carson City,
Nevada's capital, and Juneau, the
Alaskan capital Carson City, the
nations smallest state capital, had
a population OF 5,123, as of April
1, 1862 while Juneau, second
smallest state capital, had 6,344 as

DIR. Shimkin, who has been

cause the body has an auto

that in Russia the incidence

some consideration should be

their sale to minors.
DR.. Alton Ochsner, former
American Cancer Society presi-
dent and professor of surgery
at Tulane University, charges
the tobacco industry with deny
ing the relationship between
cigarettes and lung cancer for
financial gain.
He said the cancer society
has an obligation to re-empha-
size this relationship.
1T is extremely unfortunate
that the public has become un-
