CHANCER and related mahgnant diseases, usually A thought of as disease of old age. do, nevertheless occur in persons under 30 and physicians should be on the lookout for them. This warning is given by Dr. Bernard F. Schreiner and Dr. W. H. Wehr of the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases. Buffalo. N. Y. It is based on a study of 12.381 patients with maltenant disease who were treated at the institute up to Oct. 1, 1933. Os this number 537 or 43 per cent were 30 years of age or under. We have been greatly impressed with the frequent occurrence of malignancy in early life, as revealed bv this study.™ the two doctors report in the current Issue of Surgery. Gynecology and Obstetrics. A common fallacy i< to consider malignant diseases. especially carcinomata, disease of middle life and this idea should be dispelled. It is common knowledge among those treating malignant disease and among pathologists that malignancy does occur frequent lv before the age of 30.™ The 537 cases in the records of the State Institute were divided as follows: 283 cases of epithelial tumors. 170 sarcomata. 64 cases of Hodgkins disease and 20 leucaemias. * a a ca 'HF great majority of malignant growths arise A from the skin or other epithelial tissues and are known *r anically as carcinomata. Cancers arising from connective tissue are known as sarcomata. Hodgkms disease is a malignant disease of the lymph glands, while leucaemia is a disease of the white blood cells. The distribution of malignancy is different in the group aged 30 and .under than for the entire 12.381 patients as the followmg percentages show: All Aged 30 Patients or Under Epithelial tumors 527 Sarcomata 7 316 Hodgkins diseue ................... 1-1 I 2 Leucaemia .9 3.7 m a * IT will be noticed that in the entire group that epithelial tumors make up the greatest cause of disease, amounting to more than 90 per cent. In the younger group, they account lor only a little more than half. Sarcomatas compose a much larger percentage in the younger group as do Hodgkms disease and the leucaemias. Discussing the treatment of the cases among those 30 years old or under, the two doctors say that 27 of the epithelial lesions were cancers of the skm. All had begun as small sores or pimples which did not heal. They were treated with X-rays and all but one were successfully cured. Two cases of brain tumors occurred, one in a boy of 6. the other in a girl of 12. Neither of these were treat . successfully. Four patients with cancer of the lip were cured.

DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND —By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen —

WASHINGTON. April 2.—Republican Congressional leaders bluntly put no credence in Herbert Hoover's disavowal of 1936 political ambitions. Their conviction that secretly he has his eye fixed on next year's nomination is as firmly fixed as their determination to do everything in their power to see that he does not get it.

This undercover antipathy is one of the most remarkable phenomena in the contemporary political scene. Resentment against the former President is as widespread and fresh among congressional Republicans today as when he left the White House 25 months ago. It is the one thing on which the Old Guarders and insurgents are agreed. Asked to comment on Hoover’s latest blast. Senator Charley McNary remarked: *T am not interested in anything that gentleman has to say.™ This sums up the attitude of congressional Republicanism toward its former chieftain. North Dakota's Senator Jerry Nye—prominently mentioned as a vice presidential possibility next year—gave terse expression to this feeling at a recent gathering of Republican leaders. "If it should come to pass that it's a case of Hoover or Roosevelt,'’ he said, “there will be only one choice —and it won't be Hoover.” a a a HUEY LONG is writing a newbook. Taking a leaf from Upton Sinclair's famous campaign document. “1.

She doesn't dare to be picky and choosey.” u u a MY charming companion shuddered as she heard the strains of martial music through an open window. If the young men of her own age are called for war, in 20 years she will be alone and old before her time just as many of her mother’s friends, her aunts and older acquaintances are today as a result of the World War. She is one who has not reconciled herself to the inevitable fate of German women since the time of Bismarck. A shopkeeper’s neat, grayhaired wife, aged about 45. was more philosophical. Her grandfather was killed in action in the Battle of Nations at Leipzip in 1813. Her father lost his life in the Franco-German War of 1870. Two brothers fell in the bloodstained forest at Verdun. She doesn't hum, “I didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier,” when she sees her tall, handsome Storm Trooper son stride from the house. The strains of martial music is in her blood.

At considerable expense they added to their club house—located on a beautiful island in lower Chesapeake Bay—a new wing especially equipped for the accommodation of F. D. R. It was widely announced at the time that the President would soon pay a visit to the place. But although it is only a few hours distant from the Capital and although his quarters have been kept ready for instant use. he has given no sign of going there. A guest visiting the island last week-end reported much caustic comment on the President’s slighting of the club's invitation. “I wonder why he doesn't want to come here.” one member remarked. “Maybe it is because there are too many Democrats around,” observed another.

Younger women, without employment, face the situation as best they can, too. They must do something.

But, in return. I get my food and room. I am no longer a burden to my own family.

Fair Enough Mkfll fIfiLER NASSAU, Bahamas, April 2.—As the flying clipper eased its huge belly into the green water of a sea frequented by sharks and barracuda, Negro beggars began to appear alongside, swimming easily and yelling at the passengers inside the ship to toss money through the portholes. They seemed unaware of any danger as they up-ended themselves and dived for nickels, dimes and quarters, and their confidence naturally prompted inquiries. Although he is press agent for a chain of resorts on the island. Jerry Swinehart in-

sisted that the shark was not to be trusted. He recalled the case of a saxophone player in a dance orchestra in Havana during the time that he was press agent for old Gerardo Machado. The saxophone player lost an arm and a leg to a. shark and died. On the other hand, the McCutcneon boys. John and Shaw, the sons of John T. McCutcheon, the cartoonist, were sure that neither a shark nor a barracuda would molest a human being. The shark is not interested and the barracuda, they said, is afraid. The McCutch-

eons own an island in the group, on which the young men have spent three months or more of almost every winter since they were babies. Certainly they have given both fish every opportunity to manifest the disagreeable character for which they are famous and lived to testify for the defense. The moray, however, is an enemy of human kind. The moray slays you with a stout lick with his taii, which shoots an electric charge and knocks you cold. Then he eats as much of you as he happens to hunger for and swims away, leaving the subject badly out of sorts. tt tt ft Just a Simple Social Call A T certain points along the Florida keys where fishing clubs have reservations the swimming holes are fenced off with fishnets, but the McCutcheon family swims in the open surf off Treasure Island with such confidence that even your correspondent was lured into the water for a while. This was an adventure of some importance, considering that only a few days before, in Miami, a citizen of Chicago, who owns another little island or key in the gulf stream, had been telling of a barracuda which made a pass at him in water up to his knees and ran him ashore so fast that the barracuda broke water and came out on the beach gnash-* ing its teeth and taunting him to stand and fight. One word out of the Chicago citizen, and this barracuda might have chased him all the way up the beach and into the house. Yet, on the beaches of Nassau and the nearby islands of the Bahaman group, unsophisticated tourists were swimming innocently in the open water of tne sea, Negro boys were rolling like porpoises in the harbor where sharks have been caught off the docks at night and persons of inquisitive mind were being lowered into deep waters in diving helmets and ordinary trunks to explore thk marine gardens. In lact, Dr. Beebe, the famous fish fancier, had once sat a long while on the sea bottom with large fish of savage reputation nosing along about him and had come up to report that their interest in him was purely social. They peered in the porthole of his helmet, sniffed him and swam away on their lawful business. a tt tt ‘SharksHe Says, ‘ls the Worst ’ YOUR correspondent does not undertake to settle the question whether it is the shark or the if either, which munches occasional unfortunates in the waters where Mr. Roosevelt is now reaffirming his Democracy on the yacht Nourmahal as the guest of Mr. Vincent Astor. The testimony and the experience of the islanders, the Florida conchs, and the amateur fishermen varies so much and opinions are so fixed that you could easily poke up a fight between a shark man and a barracuda lover, given the proper time of the night and the correct quantity of stimulants. Certainly, occasional unfortunates do find themselves munched and the Negro fisherman who took your correspondent sailing at midnight had a right to his opinion. “Sharks,” he said, “is the worst. Sharks will eat a man up quick as grease. I know plenty of cases. My own daddy was lost to the sharks two years last October. Boat tipped over in a squall and they got him. Any number of cousins and relations and friends of mine. It happens right along. One got his head bit off. “Wind is your friend, but sometimes wind tips you over. But God makes the wind whether it tips you over or don’t. Devil don’t make the wind. God knows what he wants to do.” (Copyright, 1935, by Unit ed Feature Syndicate Inc.)

Your Health -BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

AMONG the most valuable remedies used in medicine today is the simple sugar known as glucose.. As more and more studies have been made of the chemistry of the human body, this agent has come into wider and wider use. Its chief value lies in the fact that it is absorbed rapidly and requires no special digestion, going at once into the body tissues. Furthermore, it is used up in the tissues and places no special strain on the organs of excretion. There are several ways in which glucose is put into the body at times when needed. First, it may be taken by mouth. Because some'*persons are unable to stand the sweetness of plain glucose, it has been recommended that it be given in the form of iced lemonade. About a half pint of the glucose is added to a quart of iced lemonade. a a a IN other cases the glucose is injected in a weak solution under the skin in those parts of the body where the skin is loose. This is, of course, more painful than taking glucose by mouth and there is sometimes danger of damage to the tissues, but there are cases in which persons are so sick that they simply are unable to take any food by mouth. The third method demands a certain amount of technical skill. It consists of the injection of the glucose solution directly into the vein. jLarge amounts of the solution may tee injected very slowly, and when given in this maner the glucose is rapidly utilized by the body. There is also the possibility of injecting this solution into the lower end of the intestinal tract, but doctors still disagree as to value of this method. To some persons glucose is irritating. Certainly the absorption is slow and there seems to be some doubt as to whether enough of it is absorbed promptly to have the desired effects. ana THERE are many types of disease now in which glucose is used. These include cases of •weakness. cases in which the pancreas gland sends too much insulin into the body, cases of failure of the heart tissue, and all sorts of instances in which ordinary feeding is difficult or Impossible. in certain instances, when surgery is to be done on a patient, glucose is given in advance of the operation so that the patient will be prepared for the wear and tear on the tissues that follow the operative procedure. This is particularly the case when surgery is going to be done on stomach or intestines. Glucose also is used especially in cases when there is surgery to be done on gallbladder or liver. In 6uch cases the usual functions of the liver in storing sugar and in giving it out to the tissues as needed may be disturbed. Q—Give the real name, age and marital state of James Dunn, the actor.
