MOVIE SHOWS HOW CELLS OF CANCER GROW Scientists Believe Film Will Provide Clew to Cause of Oisease. By United P r es* WASHINGTON Jan. 8. The motion picture art has been brought to the aid of science’® fight against cancer, which yearly causes more deaths in the United States than any other malady except heart dlseftfe. Photographs of living cancer ells, expected to be of much value in efforts to determine the cause and eyre the disease, were exnibited publicly for the first time at a gathering Wednesday night of scientists who met to survey the most recent research work on the cancer problem. Activity of cancer cells over many hours is recorded in a strip of film, requiring only a few minutes to-show. Speeded up 360 times normal, s he malignant cells can be seen growing and multiplying Their progress can be noted as they reach out to choke normal tissue in the process that causes death if unchecked Body Helps Cancer Cells The pictures show, too, the ironical manner which the body seems to Welcome and help the very colls that ultimately will destroy it. Capillaries push their way vigorously into the cancerous tissue to ' nourish the malignant cells with blood. Drs Warren E. Lewis and George Gey of the Carnegie institution made the photographs in the laboratories of Johns Hopkins hospital at Baltimore. It was a task requiring the utmost delicacy, precision and persistence. Bits of tissue only a twenty-fifth of an inch in size were cut from human tumors. They were kept alive under glass in a solution simulating bodily conditions. Finally they were posed before a motion picture camera equipped with mi* f'roscopic lenses. Expect Clew to Cause The scientists’ painstaking work is expected U be well rewarded. By studying the behavior of the cancer cells, research workers hope to find some clew to the cause of the disease. Cancer no longer is believed to be due to a definite organism or germ, authorities claim. Rather, it appears to be the result of a disturbance In the equilibrium among cells. Somehow the unknown forces that hold the growth of cells to just the right proportion are upset. A bit of tissue "goes wild," develops unduly, finally causes a tumor.

Carnations on Grave 30 - Years Fulfill Pledge By United Press NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Jan. B.— A wilted bouquet of red carnations on Carl Morton’s grave bore evidence today that Frank Morse, now 82, has kept his pledge throughout the years. More than thirty years ago Morse met Morton, the son of J. Sterling Morton, former secretary of agriculture and founder of Arbor day. Morse admired a red carnation which Morton was wearing. When you die.” said Morton, I'll put red carnations oai your grave each anniversary of your death.” “If you die first, I'll do the same for you,” Morse answered. Morton died a short time later of pneumonia. This may be my last trip,” said Morse Wednesday as he walked, a bit unsteadily, away from the grave which annually he has decorated for thirty years.

Business N losses attributable to waste were said by Klein to equal the total value of the United States foreign trade annually. Lives lost through motor and industrial accidents which Klein said were attributable largely to waste-

ful methods of handling automobile traffic and machinery total more than 3,000 a year. Another 70,000 or more are injured. Utilization of by-products was cited by Klein as a major effort to stop waste. .Anderson Man Robbed By Times Special . ANDERSON. Ind., Jan.
