Child victims of cancer have this advantage — in them diagnosis is likely to be easier than In the adult because in nearly all cases, the tumor Is easily seen or felt Even so. however, cancer still kills as many children under IS each year as any one of the following diseases measles, scarlet fever.

The Mobile Press said: "The votere. weary of Gov. Folsoms clowning, went out of i their way to chastise the man who has degraded the office ot Governor of the Slate in the eyes of the nation ... he has played the lead ing role in a comic oiwra regime and made a mockery of the ofI flees." Apparently voters every now and then are pushed too far and will actually take the trouble to express themselves at the polls. o— —o New College Course: An institute of practical politics under the supervision of a president who has had ten years' experience in administration in Washington is a new project at , Ohio Wesleyan University in ! Delaware, Ohio. Simultaneously with his assumption of duty as president of the university, Arthur B. Flemming. former member of the V. 8. Civil Service Commission, will become a professor of political science. He will handle his subject somewhat different!* than has been the custom Ip- -etofore The institute plan require that the students understudy prrciuct * committeemen and ward leaders, and earn college credits by interning in government offices in ■ city, state, or nation. The new president believes that such a course should be tied in with the regular liberal arts courses, in order that, instead of narrowing their field of vision to politics alone, the students will , have a broad knowledge of social questions and a background fitting them to cope with them.

Here early diagI nosis is difficult, but it can be made if one of the enlarged lymph glands so characteristic of this disorder is removed and examined under the microscope. As with the adult. X-ray examination is helpful of the more typical form* of cancer. Examination of the blood to determine the amount of lime and phosphorus present. Is helpful, together with X ray examination, in the de tec 1 tion of hone cancers. Os course, whenever operation is performed to remove a tumor, definite dlacnoshi <an be made by examining some of the tumor tissue under the microscope. Diagnosis may also be accurately • established by mean* of aspirating a minute piece of the tumor, using a needle and syringe Thi* material can then be properly stained and examined under the . microscope. . <H course there is a great deal of need for further study of cancer ' I in order to determine causes and ■ more satisfactory methods of treatment Until such time newer method* are developed, early diagi noala and prompt removal seem* | to be the most effective method of 1 treatment available, though X-ray ’ and radium .treatment* are useful 1 In Mime case*.
