With all the trouble prevalent in the world, it is gratifying to note that Uncle Sam's navy is up to full peace-time strength. Admiral Blandy, commander of the Atlantic fleet, says the navy has 400 ships and 100,000 men. The army is not doing so good, enlistments being about 100,000 under the 1,070,000 goal. During these turbulent days this country should not take the chance of permitting its armed forces to fall under the required needs. Congress may be forced to reconsider its action on military training. o o DePauw University had the

Symptoms of Larynx Cancer

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. CANCER of the larynx is of two kinds. One, railed intrinsic, develops on or under the vocal cords. The other, called extrinsic, begins on the outside of the voice box,and quickly spreads to other nearly areas. It is of great imporpince to distinguish between these two forms, because both the treatment and the outlook for the patient depend on where the cancer is located. Within The Larynx The cancers within the larynx do not spread as rapidly as do those on the outside. Changes in the voice are almost always the first symptoms to occur in the intrinsic type. changes may amount to nothing more than huskiness and the tendency to clear the throat repeatedly. Tiredness and smoking make these symptoms worse, and thus the patient is likely to believe that the trouble with his voice is due to fatigue and smoking. As the condition develops, however, the symptoms become worse until the patient is constantly hoarse. Pain does not occur until much later. At this time also, there may be coughing, shortness of breath, noisy breathing, anemia and loss of weight, as well as some difficulty in swallowing. Percentage of Cure I” those eases of cancer within the larynx which are diagnosed

privilege of being host to one of its most famous alumni, when David E. Lilienthal, chairman of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, spoke there this week. Mr. Lilienthal told the students “that it is up to the individual whether science serves or destroys mankind.’’ He explained, “Science is neither good or evil. In the world of ignorance, greed and hatred, science will help to bring about wars. In goodness and knowledge, science can help bring an age of peace.” That outlook is correct, most people will agree. ——o o The McMillen Foundation The McMillen Foundation founded by Dale W. McMillen and members of his family, will offer financial support to religious, charit able, scientific, literary and educational institutions. The charter also provides that gifts may be made to the state or any municipality or political subdivision therein. Mr. McMillens generosity and public spirit is magnificently demonstrated in his initial gift of more than $1,000,000 to the Foundation, the income from which will be expended to aid the institutions and agencies named, or contributed to governmental units for public benefit. The McMillen Foundation takes its place with similar philanthropies provided by the Ball Family of Muncie and others in the state and nation., Mr. McMillen started life as a farm boy and in humble surroundings. With magnetic personality he climbed the ladder of success and overcame several financial reverses as well. In his middle fifties, an age when man may be inclined to let up a little from arduous duties, he launched into one of the biggest ventures of his life, the purchasing of the sugar factory and the establishment of the Central Soya Company in this city. Today, the towering silos and acres of buildings at the north door to our city, attest to his faith in agriculture, his energy and the McMillen tact for organization, which combination also brought about the establishing of comparable plants in Harrisburg, Pa., Marion. Ohio. Memphis. Tenn., and Gibson City. 111. Mr. McMillen’s success in the manufacturing field since Decatur and community came to know him, is a saga in America enterprise. It is typical of the success that awaits those who put their lifeblood into the business in w'hich they believe. Deep must be his satisfaction as he further enriches his own life through the cardinal virtue of giving. The Foundation will spread its benefits in various ways and as one of his associates lucidly explained, “will help make community life richer.”

. i early and treated by removal of i the larynx, about eight out of ten are completely cured and have no recurrence. The first symptoms of cancer occurring on the outside of the larynx consist of a feeling of throat irritation, a sensation of fullness in the throat, soreness and the tendency to breathe bits of food into the windpipe. A great deal of difficulty in swallowing may gradually develop. Ulcers or sores tend to form on the cancer, and this causes pain and swelling, so that the taking of food is often difficult. Pain in the ear, also, is an outstanding symptom. Early Operation Imperative Here, as in intrinsic cancer of the larynx, operation seems to be the only hope, but because cancers outside the larynx spread so rapidly, it must be done very early. Early diagnosis of cancer is always of great importance, but it is doubly and triply so when it occurs in this location. Many authorities think that Xray and radium treatment are well worth employing in arresting of curing cancers developing witbin the larynx. Surgery gives much more hope of a permanent cure. While cancer of the larynx occurs most often in men between forty and sixty, this should not throw others off their guard beit may occur fc either sex and at any age.

Modern Etiquette i I By ROBERTA LEE I O- O Q. What is one of the most improper topics of conversation? A. Discussing illness. The height of social misconduct is to talk of sores, pus. ulcerated teeth, mucus, boils, corns, eczema, or other physical inperfections. It is much better to discuss these subjects only with your doctor. Q. What should a guest say to her hostess when she leaves a luncheon party? A. She tells her goodbye and how much she has enjoyed herself. Q. Should an engaged couple monopolize each other when in public? A. No; it is very rude and implies jealousy. —-o O —— o I Household Scrapbook I I By ROBERTA LEE | O — ° Healthy Hair Healthy hair is always elastic.
