One of the beet known varieties of cancer is that which is commonly known as cancer of the breast. The reason Is that cancer of the breast is the most common form of cancer in the mice studied In this country. A few years ago a woman investiga tor In Massachusetts found a mouse in her laboratory suffering from cancer of the breast. She bred this mouse and got from it a strain of mice very sub ject to breast cancer; which strain has been used by scorch of laboratories for cancer studies. As a rule, breast cancer gets worse during pregnancy and maternity, be cause of the Increase in quantity of blood which goes to the mammary gland during those periods. In spUe of that, this ancestral mouse in Massachusetts started a strain which has already con tributed greatly to human' welfare, and. In time, may prove to have Jjpen a great er benefactor to the human race than many of the world heroes. A lowered resistance of the mammary gland is inherited. The offspring of a mother who had cancer of the breast are more than average prone to develop cancer of the breast and at about the same age that the disease was In evi dence In the muther. The average age at which cancer of the breast develops is less than the average age at which other forms of cancer develop. When cancer of the breast recurs after removal, It is much more liable to ap pear In the bones than la the case with other cancers. The amount of blood going to the part is a factor in the rate of growth and the seriousness of cancer. Thereforee, cancer of the breast In a pregnant woman or In a woman nursing a chill is apt to progress rwpldly. On the other hand cancer of the breast of a very old person, one whose tissues are shriveling up. or In a very badly nourished person, generally grows slowly and may spontaneously stop growing or disappear. Although cancer of the breast is lo cated outside of the ribs and, therefore, on the outside of the body, properly speaking, and Is quite accessible us com pared with cancers of the Internal or gans, It Is not as curable by X-rays as some of the deeper cancers. Cancer of the breast promptly diag nosed and promptly operated on Is cur able. Even though such people are of strains which are subject to breast can cer. they live for many years. X-rays and radium are of great serv ice when used In connection with opera tion. The diagnosis of cancer of the breast must he made on the appearance of the gland and its feel and the changes in it occurring while It Is'being watched. The diagnosis must be made before pain develops. Fifty bodies have been taken from the Reilly mine In Pennsylvania. Thirty more corpses are In the mine. When the explosion told what had happened the women of the dreary ruining region gathered at the mouth of the mine, and for hours kneeled, praying in the rain. Now dead bod ies are brought out to them. That picture of tire women praying tells what mining is and should in terest those that ‘‘don’t want to be bothered with the question of a living wage.” For those men and many others "a living Wage” is turned suddenly into dying wage. There should be a few dollars left over for those praying women and children. Victor H. Arnold, once president of a bank In Wisconsin, is preaching every Sunday morning in New York city's town hall, having given up business. Anybody poor and suffer ing is asked to call on him. That is fine, impressive. Hut it's a long way from some re ligious unselfishness that you read about. Buddha in one of his incar nations appears on eurth as a hare. He sees a starving beggar, sitting be fore a wood fire. Immediately he jumps Into the fire to be cooked that the beggar may eat him. But before he Jumps he “shakes himself three times" to get rid of any fleas that may have been living on him. He doesn't want to sacritlce them. Thut example of what you really might call loving a neighbor, you may find as a foot-note in William .tames- admirable book on religious experience. Nigh Carnp. A horse to ride and & dog to love And a fire to warm me by. End of the trail and high above The sweep of the starlit sky— And where is there more for a man’s desire Than a horse and a dog and a plnewood fire? The horse will beer me far and swift And the dog will guard my rest When I lie me down pn a dead leaf drift Close to the brown earth’s breast — But ah! the ache of an old desire. And the face that glows In the plnewood fire. C. T. Davis, In the Arkansas Gazette. STRAIGHT SALARY m TREASURERS Nebraska State Auditor Would Do Away With Any Per centage of Collections as Pay.

SAYS CIGARETS DON’T HURT MILADY Question of "Taste” Not of Health, Says St. Louis Specialist. St. Louis—Is cigaret smoking threatening the future of the Amer ican race and is it developing a men ace to motherhood? Over in dear ol’ London the medi cal authorities fancy it is. Summed up, the reply of neurologists here amounts to a couple of "lilahs:” “There are just two kinds of wom en In this country who bother about smoking,” according to the version of a leading St. Louis specialist. “One is the neurotic, restless, idle mar ried woman, the kind that easily be comes a ‘fiend,’ and the other is the flapper who takes a cigaret just to make believe she’s a good sport. Neither class is seriously threaten ing the future of the race. Mexican women have been smoking pretty hard for centuries, and so far as I know that race isn’t becoming ex tinct. “It isn’t a matter of health or mbrals. I’d call it just a question of taste. Let the social improvement ‘bugs’ go after it as a vice if they afe so inclined, but for Heaven’s sake, don’t associate such nonsense with the sacred name of science! “Vigorous healthy women who are doing the world’s work and hearing children, as they should, aren’t both ering about smoking.” MINORS IN POOL HALL; PROPRIETOR FINED Spencer, Ia_ Nov. 9 (Special).—O.

RUM RUNNERS REfPEST Scotch Distilleries Working Overtime — “Bootlegging” Across Ocean Has Many Real Perils. BY DAVID L. BLUMENFELD, United Press Staff Correspondent. London—Whisky makers in Scot land are working overtime, in extra night shifts, in ordier to supply liquor to the dry throat of thirsty America. In the Highlands, the passengers on the night expresses flash past great lighted buildings, from whose tall chimneys the smoke belches night long, where the whirr of driving belts and the whizz of patent bottle stop pers is an incessant hum. They are the distilleries of Scotland, where liquor is made on mass production principles in order that Mr, Jones, of New York city, or Mr. Brown, of Detroit may have his quart bottle "Old Scotch” for the entertainment of himself and his friends. Not for years has the liquor trade inScotland been as properous as to day. Whisky, which can be made at say $1.60 a quart, sold in England for $2.00 and smuggled to the United States for sale at anything from $12 to $14 per quart, is a gold mine some where. Since prohibition in the United States, the whisky trade in Scotland has practically quadrupled itself. Millions of gallons of yellow, Scotch whiky are smuggled yearly into the United States. For every rum runner that is cap tured at least 10 arrive safely at th<*r destination, landing their cargo un disturbed, according to statements of local agents of the United States pro hibition forces. It is not hard to arrive at the amount of liquor thus being brought to “dry” America. The other day a vessel was taken by the authorities with 40,000 gallons of whisky in her hold—consigned from Cadiz, from which port she had called at Glas glow. She, at that, was only a small vessel. Ten others landed their cargo unmolested. 'Fhere's 400,000 gallons. So - great is the profit in Scotch whisky that one prominent bootlegger openly boasted here that he was able with a deposit of $200,000 placed in a London bank, to turn that amount Into $2,500,000 in the space of three months Another bootlegger declared in a London hotel, that he has paid out as much as $300,000 in one day in “Larg esse”—a polite name for graft—in ordier to put through a deal which netted him the little pocket money of $4,000,000. It Is Different Now. From the Kansas City Star. The cornerstone for a fine new Mo hammedan mosque was laid in Paris a few days ago. M. Lyautey, a former minister of war, made a speech for the occasion which is reported by the Paris Journal of October £0. After highly complimenting Kemal, the Turkish na tionalist leader, Lyautey continued: France, liberal, law-abiding, hard working, and Islam renewed and re stored, seem to me two grand and noble forces whose union, not for violence, destruction and domination, but for their legitimate claims, the integrity of their territories, and the toleration of all beliefs and convictions, shall be a preponderating factor in securing the peace of the world. That isn’t exactly the feeling Ameri cans have toward a race whose hands are still dripping with the blood of mas sacred tens of thousands. But political e'emagogs will be political demagogs whether in France or America. A number of Russian women of title, formerly wealthy, but now impoverished by the war, are earning a livelihood in London by acting as mannequins. Gossip from Paris is that Harold P. McCormick and his bride, Ganna Walska, already are “in a row.’’ No body expected it so soon. The only thing that stands be tween the "wets” and beers and wines is the constitutional amend ment. Senator Hitchcock can be as proud of his defeat as he ever was of vie tory. CLUBCLAIMS^ AIR OFFICERS “MURDERED” Dangerous Planes Sold to Army and Navy by “Trust,” Aeronautic Authorities As sert—Ask Congress to Act. Universal Service. & Washington, Nov. 13.—There is no hope of lessening the number of#air service fatalities unless the so-called “aircraft ring" is dissolved by action of congress or the department of Justice. A committee of aeronautic authori ties so declared to Representative Roy O. Woodruff today, following the an- ' nual meeting of the Aero club of America, at which drastic resolution* were adopted, designed to end what was termed in the resolutions as the “murdering of air service officers” by the “aircraft ring.” "Not only does the ‘aircraft ring* sell dangerous aeroplanes to the army and navy at unconscionably high prices,” the resolution reads: “but by violation of the anti-trust laws, alt competition is eliminated and Inde pendent inventors and manufacture* are prevented from supplying the, army and navy safer, improved air craft. After the government has paid exorbitant prices for the aircraft the "aircraft ring” uses the aircraft and the air service for propaganda stunt*, such as killed an army aviator yes terday at Hartford, Conn., and caused the deaths of over 40 air service of ficers during the past year. Henry Woodhouse, newly elected president of the Aero club af Amer ica and chairman of the Investigation committee to cooperate fith both Con gressman Woodruff’s committee and the department of Justice, today said: “Since the signing of the armistice the congress has appropriated a total of over $160,000,000 for aircraft, but there is nothing to show for it except a long list of deaths and wreck*, which will continue to increase until the ‘aircraft ring’s’ control, of the aif service is brouglifto an end.” THREE MEN KIDNAP PBLICEJER9EIINT Kansas City Officer Taken to Woods, Bound to Tree and Flogged—Found by Hunters.
