The canary, holding its popularity as a caged songbird, takes its name from its native locale, the Canary Islands. The name stems from canis, the Latin word for dog, says the National Geographical Society, perhaps because of the dogI head shape of Tenerife, largest isle of this Spanish group.

Cancer Research Progress Is Brought Up To Date

(Editor’s Note: The following dispatch is the third in a series reporting on the latest developments in cancer research.) By PAUL F. ELLIS (Copyright 1949 by United Press) New York, May 18—(UP)—The function of the hormones in a human body is similar to that of musicians in a symphonic orchestra. In each case, they must perform together—in tune. An out-of-tune musician spoils the symphony in music. A hormone can do the same thing to the symphony of human health. In cancer cases, scientists at the Sloan-Kettering institute for cancer research have found, the hormones — chemical substances produced by the sex and other glands — shift their normal pattern. There is an overproduction by some glands, and under production by others. Furthermore, even some “strangers" get into the act. The scientists are particularly interested in the cancer discord — that is, what shift or alteration in the excretion of hormone substances occurs when cancer is forming or about to form. The evidence to date shows that a shift in a normal person’s hormone pattern may mean that he is becoming susceptible to cancer. The exact pattern »for healthy persons has not yet been determined, but it may be only a matter of time before medical science can tell by hormone "finger-prints” whether an individual is shy of one or more types of hormone or is producing one or several types en-

Indiana Looms Large To Bremen Children Thousands Receive Help From Hoosiers Bremen, Germany, May 18 — (UP) — Ask any school child in Bremen to name one state in the United States and the answer is quick and certain. Indiana. The Hoosier state outlined in bright green on the classroom maps of the U. S. has taken on new significance to Bremen's thousands of young German pupils. The 7,000 of them in high school, for instance, write with pencils that came from Indiana. They play basketball in gym shoes from Arsenal technical high school in Indianapolis and shoot goals' with basketballs from Wayne county. The close connection between this bombed port city and the pleasant farming state in the middle west started, in September, 1948, as the result of an idea by an American teacher who had seen the handicaps under which German school children studied and played. She is Miss Elizabeth Means, a former employe of the education and cultural relations division of military government in Bremen.

dangering his health. With such knowledge, medical science hopes to find ways to correct a “deficiency” in a particular type of hormone or to provide treatment that will restore the proper hormonal balance. That is, get that out-of-tune, or out-of-line, back on the beam. The Sloan-Kettering scientists are not sure whether the shift in normal hormone patterns of excretions is a “cause” of cancer, or whether the shift results from cancer upsetting the proper function of glands, such as the adrenals, in manufacturing the necessary hormones and in the necessary amount. In one test of hormones in excretions from human beings, it was found that the strange “cancer” hormone was found in three persons suffering high blood pressure, and in five persons suffering a disease known as cushing’s syndrome. The latter ailment is known to be caused by acting-up adrenal glands. The symptoms include over-growth of hair and overproduction of fat. The patients, moreover, had other hormonal abnormalities not included in the cancer pattern. The test did show, however, that hormone excretions may be used to determine causes of other illnesses. Only recently, it was shown at the Mayo Clinic that persons suffering rheumatoid arthritis could be helped by being administered a substance manufactured by the adrenals and known as compound E.

Last year, after years of struggling with the problems of the city’s schools, she returned to her home in Indiana. She immediately appealed to the schools of that state for help, and the help came. First came one large package, addressed to all the schools in Bremen, from the schools of Indiana. It contained school supplies, then very scarce. In the next seven months there arrived 236 more packages, crammed with magazines, books, overcoats, suits, shoes, dresses and sporting equipment.. PortEge twp. (Porter county) schools sent the greatest number —36 packages. New Castle sent uniforms for a basketball team—a sport almost as popular here as in Indiana. Wayne county organized a “send a ball to Bremen” program and over came basketballs. Elkhart high school sent the 7,000 pencils that were distributed to high school students. Peru schools sent two baskethalls which were immediately introduced into a game between two secondary schools honoring the Indiana city. With the packages came a shower of letters from thousands of Indiana students and their teachers, telling of life in the midwest. The Bremen boys and girls answered and the correspondence has continued heavy. Remembering that many of the older Bremen students had their early schooling in Nazi institu-

(International} tions) a German teacher commented on the Indiana gifts: "Today the students of Bremen are not only well informed about th<p state of Indiana and its many counties and towns, they also begin to wonder what’s behind this program. “Their conclusion may well be a further step towards realizing that democracy is not such a bad thing after all.”

Undercover Agent Testifies At Trial Gives Evidence At Communist Trial New York, May 18 — (UP) — Palmes Hidalgo, Jr., a mid-Man-hattan bank clerk and an undercover agent for the FBI, testified today at the communist conspiracy trial iqss than 24 hours after he attended a communist meeting. Hidalgo was asked to leave the stand to identify one of the defenders, Robert Thompson, New York state chairman of the party. As Hidalgo neared him, Thompson snarled: "Keep your hands off me.” Hidalgo, a slightly built, dark complexioned war veteran, walked up to Thompson, however, and placed a hand on the defendant’s right shoulder. “This is Comrade Thompson,” he said. "You are no comrade of mine, I assure you—you little rat," Thompson snapped. Defense attorneys objected at every turn as government counsel tried to draw from Hidalgo his story as an FBI counter-agent. Their objections became so strenuous they drew a warning from federal judge Harold R. Medina who told them, "watch your step." “I want you to know that I am contemplating some steps to expedite matters in this case," Medina said. “1 have noted what appears to he frequent delaying tac-
