A few more fights like the LouisLewis and the Madison Square Garden boys will expect Jack Dempsey to give them jobs in his restaurants. It looks like old fashioned winter and is.

This association, designed to serve you and yours is entitled to your boosts and your support. They are for you a hundred per cent. The GOP seems to have absolute control over the fifty-one members of the legislature for with only a majority of two they have managed to hold the toys in line each time a measure came up that even tinged of partisan politics. The members of the senate where the Democrats have a decided majority could learn a valuable lesson if they would. ■■■■■MGHVliWi; Joe Louis knocked John Henry Lewis down three times in the first round of what was to have been a fifteen round go and retained the belt on a technical knockout. John Henry, however, got the most money he ever had and can now proceed with his ambition to prepare himself to be a minister which he claims is his one great desire. The opposition to the dollar license tee for automobiles with a one cent increase in the gas tax comes from dealers along th,' state lines, where they claim their customers would drive across into ' Ohio and Michigan, whore the tax is now the same as Indiana and fill up their cars to save the penny. It shows how difficult it is to frame a tax law that pleases every one. Some law maker, seeking fame as a profound legislator has introduced a bill which would make fishing in the evening a violation of law. It sounds silly. During the hot summer months it is often only physically possible to fish except in the mornings and evenings. If he wants to do something, let him stop ice fishing or regulate it to prevent the taking

of thousands of fish from the lakes and streams. Senator Arnold of South Bond has introduced a bill in the legislature to permit married women to sue and be sued. From several sources comes opinions that the t genera) wish of the ladies would • be that they can sue but would continue to be exempt from being ! sued. That's the difficulty with J law making, so many folks want ! only what aids them and are ' "agin” any thing that might in- ' terfere with their privileges. Hundreds of thousands of dimes I are flowing into the office of President Roovelt this week and i will continue until the 31st. It's a plan originated last year by movie and radio stars and has worked so well that it will no doubt be continued. Millions of folks would like to aid in the fight i against infantile paralysis but | ! cannot do so unless some means ] is provided whereby their contri- j buttons can be small. That's just what the March of Dimes gives. Be sure to add your mite. THE WAR OUTLOOK: There is not the least chance of | a world war happening in the I near future. That is the firm be-! lief of George Bernard Shaw, dis-; tinguished dramatist and author, . revealed in an interview with his friend W. R. Titterton for the current Rotarian Magazine. If there , were, it would have happened in I September, 1938, when there was more inbammatory talk and even feeling than there ever was from the Agadir incident to the I i bombardment of Liege. “What would happen first in a world war?” asks Shaw. “The airI planes of A, B. C, and D would bomb the cities of E, F, G. and H so effectively that the white flag would be hoisted at approximately | the same time in the several capitals, and abject pleas for peace , would cross each other in their ‘ air." The tragic nastiness of this, latest development of warfare is that the attack of the civilian population is absurdly easy, he points out. Because adequate ue- ' sense is impossible, the danger to ( civilians of wholesale extinction is greater than ever before. Govern- I ments of the civilized countries— I those well equipped with the latest means of destruction — are well aware of this fact. "I think that man is on trial,” 1 declares Shaw. “If we are proved definitely to be a mistake, we shall be scrapped, and God will use some other creatures a trifle less stupid to carry on His purpose. ' Our opportunities have been great, I our stupidities have been monstrous. And, no doubt, war is one ' of the greatest of these. "But don't delude yourself with I the notion that when nations are | at peace with each other, they are'l at peace with themselves, or that ' slums and unemployment and inhuman working conditions and sweating wages are far more admirable than the miserable squal;or of war,” he continues. As long as pugnacity is considered to be i a virtue, you will have internal--1 ional war, and you will have aTi the blessings of peace I have enumerated. 1 see no signs that, however great a mistake man may be, he is likely to be superseded in the lifetimes of our present national leaders. God works on a big canvas, and we are only an inch or so away from the Siege of Troy. "In a war everybody loses, but formerly it was possible for one side to think—for a year or two that il had won,” concludes Shaw "The single redeeming feature of the next world war, when i it happens, is that this will not be 1 j possible. In reflecting upon that, I perhaps you may find »oiue par--1 . tide of hope."—Rotarian Magazine. I - O 500 Sheets B'/ 2 xll, 20-Ib, White Automatic Mimeograph Bond, nealy wrapped $1.05.

NEW CAUSE OF CANCER FOUND Wisconsin Doctor Makes Announcement; Hshhein Doubtful Milwaukee. Wis Jan 27—<U.R> Dr William G. Doern. Mercy Hospital research bacteriologUL announced today the discovery of n micro-organism which he be- ! lieves is the probable cause of I cancer and said he is experimenting with a treatment which, in a few cases, has halted the disease's progression. He said the micro-organism has ( a special affinity for the sex cells I of both male and female animals. 1 He declined to reveal details of the treatment because its success I has not been established defi- ; nitely. "I have many cancer patients I have been treating.” he said. "In some, the disease has remained unchanged for seven years "But I need much more research to determine how successful it is. I am using surgery only as a minor method —for restoring functions and in removing dead tissue. Doern is 65, the son of a Jericho. Wi».. farmer, and has been { experimenting in the cancer field for nearly 40 years The discovery, which he first disclosed last night at a banquet meeting of the Mercy hospital staff, was made during experiments which he and his staff had conducted since 1932 when they first came across the micro-organism He made the announcement. he said, fully aware that scientists the world over have devoted years of painstaking research to the ailment.
