WORLD CANCER ’ STUDY PART OF LEAGUE PLANS \ Characteristics of Disease as to Race and Geography to Be Sought. Bu United Press GENEVA, March 18. —The League of Nations has assigned itself the task of ascertaining to what ratent cancer is a matter of geography and race. With more than 700,000 people dying annually from this scourge the problem is one of the most important that has been undertaken by the international health organization of the league. While the theory has long been held that cancer is less frequent and less deadly in certain countries, and with certain races than with others, efforts to arrive at any scientifically established conclusions have met with serious obstacles. In the first place the different manner in different/ countries of diagnosis, registration and the establishing of statistics rendered comparison difficult and in the second place the problem was too great for individual physicians or scientists , to undertake alone. | With the preparatoi-y work aldone by the International Health Organization of the league in providing for a common system of statistics in a great many countries and with the whole organization of the league back of it, it, is believed that definite results can now be obtained. 'The investigation will last for a year at least and will embrace virtually the entire world. It will have as a basis certain results that have already been obtained in Europe and which indicate that geography and, race play a very important role in tli® matter of cancer. These observations today show that the northern races of Europe are the heaviest sufferers from cancer. The Celtic race is less seriously affected, while the races of the Iberian peninsula and the island races are l£ast afflicted. As regards the island populations these of the northern islands have a great deal more cancer than those on the Mediterranean islands. That this tendency to have cancer is not merely a matter of geography but also that the above races transplanted to America maintain tire same general tendency for the disease. In Belgium it has been established that the Flemish part of-the population has greater disposition for cancer than the Wallons. In France cancer is especially general and fatal in Normandy and Picardy where thirty per cent of the deaths are from that disease. Here also it has been demonstrated that kin the Celtic part of the country the tleath rate is 16 per cent against 13 per cent in the Mediterranean portion.

Perhaps some ingenious citizen may be the means of bringing the Summer White House to the Hoosier Capital. Stranger things have happened. Current press reports indicate the President may spend his summer vacation “somewhere in the middle west.^ Indianapolis and environs'would provide an ideal setting for the Summer White House. This is the home of former President Benjamin Harrison, as well as two former VicePresidents, the late Charles Warren Fairbanks and Thomas Riley Marshall. Being almost exactly in the center of population of the United States, only a short motor spin from the greatest lake resorts in the country, surrounded by unsurpassed farming communities —combined with the well-known Hoosier hospitality, it would be hard to find a more suitable place for the President to spend his vacation. There are many other substantial reasons. Here is an opportunity to be pf real service to Indianapolis, as well As to the President—that he may not overlook the best place in the country to spend his vacation.

CIVILIZATION SPOILS Missionary Declares Papuan Islanders Change for Worse. Bu United Press SYDNEY, March 18.—The “civilization of the west” is shattering the life of the natives in Papua, according to the Revj B. T. Butcher, for twenty-two years a missionary in that tropical country. “Diseases unknown are prevalent,” he said, “and gambling among the natives has become a curse. The traders 'are now asking for prohibition against gambling, but there was no gambling before the white man arrived. “Motion pictures are having a terrible effect on the minds of the savages, and the films are affecting the natives in their respect of white women. All these things are the effect ' of commerce. Commerce and the government are interfering more with the religion of the natives than are the missionaries.”
