Cancer Is A Preventable Disease In People Correctly Informed Argentina's Hope The hopeful side of cancer wu nsvor known fifty years ago, because then the people and the medical pro- fession were ignorant; the people, uninformed of the importance of be- ing examined thr moment they were warned, and the medical profession, till ignorant of the proper treat- ment, even in casi-s of operable and curable cann-i. The first uniformly successful cured of cancer were due to the rapid development of modern surgery, and practically all in the cure of cancer today wore conceived and executed sucoeusfully before 1900 and should bi associated with the names of Billroth of Viciin:i, Halstcd of Johns Hopkins, nnd Kraske and \Vertheim of Germany. Then came the discov- ery of the X-rays and radium, which have been ucr.>s.sfully employed chiefly In tho past llfleen years. By 1000 many members of the medclal profession throughout the world knew, from their records, that the majority of cases of cancer cured by surgery were in the very early stage. To increase the num- ber of Individuals A ho seek the aid of the medical profession in th<- very early stages depended upon getting m message to them containing the correct Information about the earliest signs and ymptonn of local condi- tions which could he easily seen or f"lt, which might be the local con- dition preceding cancer or the early stage of cancer itself. Ily 1913 we had found out that the only way to get the essential farts for the protec- tion from cancer to tlif V'"I>!" was through the pr>?H* Our simile* from 1913 to 1930 de- monstrate that individuals correctly informed In n^ard to cancer run a rik of cancer in st-vcnti'i-n \HT rent. Instead of eighty per cent, whl'-h l< tin- risk of (!! knorant and unln- formed. The chance* of a cure of cancer In the enlightened group Is more than sixty, in the ignorant group It Is less "MH t-'H per cent. Iirictly. what Is it that every one hould know for protection ;ivainst cancer? First, canrer never begins as cancer, but always as a local change or spot which U not cancer. > When the Individual seeks an ex-; amlnaUou at this time, he is always! protected from cancer. In the ex-' ternal cancer the warning Is definite, and when the spot is in the skin or in the lining of the mouth, the per- son will know It before It Is cancer. When it is a small lump beneath the skin, the lump may bo so deep- ly burled that it Is not felt until its cells have become cancer cells. \ Therefore, if any me notices a spot ' on the km or the lining of the mouth and aeeks examination and treat- ment at once, no one should die of cancer of the skin or mouth. When ' any one feels a lump anywhere, the. first thing to do is to havo It exam- ! Ined by a competent doctor who will decide between no treatment. Irradi- ation, or removal. When the cancer is Internal, the warnings arc different. It may be : tn unusual discharge from one of the inlets or outlets of the body, Ir- % respective of the character of the ' discharge. The warning may be pain or an unnatural feeling of any kind, or a change in the normal func- tions of the body. The difficulty is not that the indi- vidual does not know of the very first symptoms, but that he does not know that these first and Inslgnifl- i cant symptoms may be the first warning ot a dangerous condition, and for that reason an examination should he sought at once. The two most important state- 1 ments which should reach every in- dividual In this country today are. Select a family physician for your- self and your family before illness coines. not after. See the family ( physician once a year, no matter how well you feel. Second, every woman who has borne children should go to the physician who took care of her | at that time, for a polvlc examina- tion, or, If this physician is not avail- able, sole. -I an equally good, or a better one. for this periodic exam- ination which is the preatwst protec- ; lion against cancer of the cervix.

Hence, it seems clear that a prime ob- ject of penal reform should be to keep a young man or woman out of prison for as long as M reasonably possible, and judges and magistrates do usually n this principle hy tak- llrst offenders c batlon. A term In jail, again, nearly j always handicaps a man in after life, : however sincere may be his inteution to take ni> honest employment and It I follows that the most effective way of j combating crime Is at tho very start j that Is, by sparing no effort to prevent young offenders from drifting into the i criminal rut.

The birth rule in Kngland nnd Wales stands today at 15.8 per 1,000, thc lowest on record and less than half what it was in 1870. The ever-spreading knowledge of birth control methods is regarded as the primary cause and statisticians say that from now on the population will remain stationary or steadily de- \ cline. England has one of the lowest birth rates in Europe now. In Italy the rate is 2(5 per 1,000, in France it is 18, and in Germany, 17.5. The population doubtless would have suffered losses, I statisticians say, but for the decline in the infant mortality rate. * Abandoned Coal Mine To Be Worked By Employees La Toilette, Tenn.

For .seventeen years political in- trigues in Cairo have prevented col- laboration between the British and Egyptians in bringing thc scheme near to realization. Now however. there is definite hope not only for the long-delayed dam on thc upper Nile, but also for a 350-mile canal which will drain the vast :>wamps of the northern Sudan and divert thc water to desert lands. At present thc waters coming down from i .ake Albert (low into the swamp, where they are absorbed or evaporat- ed. An aerial survey, howevor, has that many old river beds and s can be connected to pa--s thc fwamp and allow thc water to drain northward, irrigating thousands of square miles of waste land. As curly as 1914 n great dam was planned to collect the waters of tlic White Nile at (lebel Aulia, twenty- four mile sabove Khartum. After the World War, however, constant antag- onism between thc Wafdist govern- ments and the British halted the work.

The Prairie Provinces show an in- crease of 20 per cent, in population between 1921 and 1931. Canada led the world in 1931 in the use of the aeroplane for police, s.<- ' ploration, fire ranging, postal and other national services. 25 aeroplane clubs have 5,000 members. | Canada continues to be the Empire's timber storehouse, with over 40 per cent, of the total forest area. Nearly! 3 million tons of newsprint are made annually. Its gross value exceeds 200 millions, and invested capital over 700 millions. Foreign investments in Canada stood, at the start of 1931, at $6,373,- 533,000, an increase in a year of 229 millions. 61 per cent, of the total in- vestments were United States, 35 Brit- ish, 4 others. Nearly 50 per cent, of Canada's agricultural wealth comes from the prairie provinces. The Prairie Provinces are produc- ing manufactured goods to n value .' ?300,000,000 a year. Three thousand reindeer, driven from Alaska, will reach their new quarters in Northwestern Canada in 1932. The Prairie Provinces contain 23 1 per cent of the Dominion national wealth, or nearly 8 billions. Fifty millions were spent in 1931 on workmen's compensation, mothers' a'.-! lowances, old age pensions, soldiers' aid, etc. | Western Canadian farmers have 200,000 autos, 22,000 motor trucks, 200,000 stationary engines. 05,000 threshers and 9,000 combines. Canada ranks first in thc production of nickel, asbestos, cobalt and news- print; second in gold, total trade fvr capita, auto production; third in sil- ver, wood pulp, aluminum.

The London County council l;st week voted to demolls-h the bridge aud erect a new one nearly. Th decision marked the end of eeve years ot controversy, complicated by the fact that expert opinion wai divided on the feasibility of its pre- servation. For more than a century, Water- loo Bridge has gracefully spanded the Thames. But It is apparent even to casual observers that it Is very slowly sinking. It 'a the old- est bridge now standing within Lon- don, and Is the work of John Ren- nie. A massive stone structure o/ nine arches, carrying a level road way, Waterloo Bridge was opened in 1S6T, and its capital cost was 522. 000, more than that of any other im- portant London bridge. Sir Gilbert Scott, architect of the great Anglican cathedral at Liver- pool, has been asked to design a new bridge to carry six lines of vehi cular traffic, and to cost 1,295.000. The ministry of transport will assist the country council to the extent ot contributins 60 per cent, of the cost. Swiss Migrations Traced By Historian Berne, Switzerland. Historic trails of Swiss emigrants the world over have been minutely followed by Dr. Charles Benzinger of Berne. He points out that Swiss plaCL- names are found in '.he four quarters of the globe. There are several in the United States, one in New Zealand, and oth.-rs in the Argentine and Para- guay. For the United States, Geneva recurs most frequently. There is even a New Geneva, as there is a Newbern in North Carolina, a New Claris ar.'l a Ve/ej along the banks of the Ohio. Foremost among the Swiss perc-m- alities who identified themselves wit'i American history stands Albert Gal- latin, member of the House of Repre- sentatives, Secretary of the Treasury, and United States Ambassador al Paris from 1814 to 1823. General Karrer of Soleure fought In the French armies in Louisiana. Hald'- mand of Yerdon was military gover- nor of Montreal, eventually becoming Sir Frederick Haldimand, Governor- General of Canada. General Suter of Bisel was the most adventurous and romantic of the Am- erican Sv/iss. In the California days of '49 he made history which is still perpetuated by many souvenirs at tha Golden Gate.
