CORN SUGAR IS URGED AS KEY TO PROSPERITY Labor Increase by Use of Product Cited by Dr. Barnard. FOREIGN MARKET SHOWN Health Chiefs Told Plan’s Effect Could Not Be Estimated. Prosperity for the com belt farmer and economic recovery for the nation is assured if America’s surplus com crop is converted into slugar. it was asserted today. “What the general use of sugar made from com will mean to the corn belt states and the nation, as a whole, is beyond all estimates,'’ he said. “Starch in the American corn crop could furnish all our energy needs. It could be used for home consumption, for manufacturing beverages and bread." Dr. Barnard pointed out that the American people consume more than 100 pounds of cane ssgar per capita a year and that most of this sugar comes from foreign countries. Com Sugar Is Solution “If American com sugar were placed in general use we should need more refineries, more men to run them, more farmers and larger crops,” he continued. “It would end the depression as far as the corn belt farmers are concerned and their prosperity soon would restore good times to all the nation.” Conversion processes have been so improved, Dr. Barnard said, that the com sugar of today is 100 per cent pure, free even from the last trace of water, free from all residues, fat, protein and unconverted starches. Stressing the value of com sugtr, he declared that it is less sweet and does not pall the appetite like cane or beet sugar. He asserted that it does not injure the desire for other necessary food accessories. “Corn consumption has been falling off for the last thirty years.” Dr Barnard declared. “We must find another market and corn sugar is our solution.” Sleeping 111 Studied Different opinions on the means of communication of sleeping sickness, gained from study of the recent epidemic in St. Louis, were advanced at yesterday's session. Several physicians believe, according to their statements, that it is communicated from individual to individual, while others think that it is the result of virus from mosquitoes. Dr. W. Lloyd Aycock of Harvard Medical school spoke to the association this morning on “breathing hygiene.” He pointed out that many diseases are more prevalent among children than adults because the children have not been taught the proper hygiene. Diseases which Dr. Aycock mentioned were infantile paralysis, measles and diphtheria. Personal Hygiene Blamed Personal hygiene will be necessary for adults wishing to avoid cancer, heart disease and kidney ailments, according to Dr. John Sundwall of the University of Michigan, who spoke this morning. Dr. Sundwall pointed out that while health agencies have been able to combat diseases like yellow fever, which are spread by an intermediate agent such as the mosquito, the individual will have to make the against diseases which are the result of faulty personal hygiene. Because of the importance of personal hygiene for both adults and children, methods of education in health are being given more attention at the annual meetings of the organization, authorities say. Results from these educational methods in the control of tuberculosis during the last twenty-five years were brought to the attention of the association.

Barker Barks Glad News of Store Teeth to Come

J. W.’s Future Looks Bright as Molars Rest in Dental Mold. The Circus Barkers’ Association with headquarters in Philadelphia, received glad tidings from Indianapolis today. Still toothless, but in full possession of vocal apparatus which shook The Times office and could be heard above the roar of the presses, James W. Stewart —J. W. to the circus folk —announced that he would be on hand next season to “ring the welkin” at the state fairground and any other place where the services of a barker are needed. 4 “I’ll come out of retirement in a week,” J. W. announced boomingly, “and I’m here to tell the world that I’ll have the finest set of store teeth in the country when I hit the road next season. It will be a set of teeth that will be unequaled in these or any other parts; a set of teeth that will dazzle the audience and won't drop out every time I yell ‘Jo-Jo, the dog-faced boy.’ “Yes, sir,” boomed J. W., “I'm wiring the Circus Barkers’ Association that I'm eligible again. You know they barred me because I lost my teeth. A barker’s got to make a nice appearance, you know." At this point it was suggested that the wire would not be necessary—they probably could hear him in Philadelphia. Brushing aside this impertinence, J. W. explained that a local dentist had been engaged to make the nonpareil store teeth. “And when l get ’em," J W,

whispered in a tone which merely shook the glue pots, “I’m steerin’ clear of women. You remember it was a gal who broke my other set of teeth right after the state fair. “Yeh, she got sore at me and threw my teeth up against the living room wall while I was taking a bath. But I’m off women now. These new teeth are too valuable.” The old-time barker, who has toured with Barnum & Bailey, SellsFloto, Robinson, and other big shows, revealed that his pal, Walter Camp, Wheeling, W. Va., who lost his voice at the Indiana state fair barking for the “nudist” colony, has not recovered it. “This here nudist business is bad, anyway, “J. W.” commented apropos of nothing in particular.

Repressed Reporters Are Squelched by First Lady. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—At Mrs. Roosevelt’s press conference with the women reporters, efforts were made to discover whether it really was the First Lady's idea to dispose of surplus farm crops in the most obvious way—that is, feed the hungry. “Oh, any idea usually is several persons’ idea," Mrs. F. D. countered. “But did you make a definite suggestion thus and so?” the inquisitive ones persisted. “Oh, you musn’t pin me down,” she laughed. m

By United Preen v CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Like field marshals studying battle tactics for a final assault on a heretofore impregnable fortress, America’s finest surgeons today revealed outlines of a crusade to remove cancer as a major cause of death. Ground work of the drive was to be laid at a special symposium today of the Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons which will lead the campaign. Emphasized as the first principle in the struggle was the assertion backed by best medical testimony that cancer, if detected early, is curable.

$1.50 TAX LAW SPEAKERNAMED J. H. Aiken Will Address Protest Mass Meeting Here Saturday. John H. Aiken, Ft. Wayne, one of the leaders in supporting passage of the $1.50 tax limitation law, will be a speaker at the state-wide protest meeting at 1:30 Saturday in the Claypool. , Selection of Mr. Aiken as a speaker was announced today by the committee in charge of the meeting. During the special session of the legislature in 1932, Mr. Aiken was invited to speak on taxation, and is given much of the credit for passage of the $1.50 law. Within the next few days, a resolutions committee for the meeting will be announced by the committee. The resolutions will be presented at the mass meeting and, after adoption, will be sent to the state tax board.

Data on thousands of cancer cases has been assembled and was to be presented today showing the ease and success of cures in which the disease has been recognized at the onset. Education of the public to the fact that periodic examination by physicians will enable them to diagnose and eliminate conditions which might develop into cancer was named as the first step in the drive by Dr. Byrton J. Lee, governor of the College of Surgeons. Examinations Are Urged He named cancer of the skin, lips, tongue, breast, cervix and stomach as curable in most instances by surgery, X-ray and radium. “If each individual in this country,” said Dr. Lee. “would make it a rule to have a careful, thorough physical examination every six months, the cancer problem would be largely solved and many lives saved each year.” One form of cancer should be. eliminated entirely by simple medical examinations, Dr. Joseph Colt Bloodgood, of Baltimore, specialist in the disease, declared. This is cancer of the cervix, common among mothers. Examination of a mother six months after the 1 birth of her child and a second examination six months later would detect any condition which might develop into cancer and allow physicians to take successful preventive steps, he said. Dr. Little Is Active Dr. Clarance Cpok Little, former University of Michigan president and now director of an anti-cancer society, pictured the extent of the medical battle line. There now are 300,000 cases of cancer in the United States, he asserted, with an accompanying huge economic loss. “All the material which the world needs for the greater prevention of cancer,” said Dr. Little, “is education and opportunity to obtain at low cost professional help for which such education calls. Cancer is a disease which thrives on ignorance.” RETURNS RINGS TAKEN FROM WIFE’S FINGERS Husband Escapes Jail Sentence on Promise to Pay So Weekly. Under the impression that their separation needed a more formal touch, Milo Mollenkopf, 705 East North street, stripped the engagement and wedding rings from the finger of his wife, Dorothy, last year.

BUTLER DEAN’S SON FINED FOR SPEEDING Young Frederick Kershner la Warned by City Judge. One more appearance before Municipal Judge Dewey E. Myers means that Frederick Kershner, 18, of 4257 Clarendon road, will be minus his automobile driver’s license. He is a son of Dean Frank D. Kershner of the Butler university school of religion.
