STOMACH CANCER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Conquest of stomach cancer, which now kills about = 27,000 persons in the United States every year, is e€xpected to advance more rapidly now that a united drive on this one kind of cancer has been launched. Stomach cancer experts, meeting here with the National Advisory Cancel Council at the call of Surgeon General Thomas. Parran, U. S. Public Health Service, are laying plans to correlate their efforts and avoid duplication of research studies i1¥ the hope of speeding the fight against this disease. | One of the big problems to be solved is earlier diagnosis of stomach cancer, so that curative oper= tions can be performed in time to save the patient's life. The gastroscope, flexible illuminated tube which enables the doctor to see the inside of the patient's stomach, was cited at -the conference as a great aid to this phase of the battle

School News—

By EARL HOFF

In a small, neat room at Crispus Attucks High School a group of boys meets for four hours every school day, for the only course of its kind in any Indiana high school. They are learning to make clothing, to press, repair and alter garments and to block hats. In an adjoining room another group is learning the interesting trade of repairing and rebuilding shoes. These courses are for boys, but they have no monopoly of vocational education at Crispus Attucks.

2 New Courses for Girls

Girls may select a two-semester course in home mechanics, or enroll in the new cosmetics course, both of which are the only courses of their kind in the City. The tailor and shoe repair shops prepare Crispus Attucks pupils for trades many would enter even if they had no training. It gives them a flying start. The home mechanics course is designed to help girls make their homes more livable places. The cosmetics course is expected to give many girls an introduction to beauty culture and to open the opportunity for them to become beauty operators. Fifty are enrolled in the tailoring course where Edward Gaillard teaches them the basic principles of manufacture, alteration and repair of clothing. A few will set up their own tailoring shops upon completion of the two-year course. Most will go to work in established shops.

Machinery Is New

A similar number of pupils are being taught by Herbert Thompson the niceties of replacing she soles and rebuilding shoe uppers. Equipped with sparkling new machinery, the - boys are taught craftsmanship comes befores speed. There never is any trouble placing graduates of both shops, Marimon Hansberry,’ Industrial Arts Department head, said. Even those who do not finish the courses find their training is valuable in securing jobs, he said. : The two home mechanics classes are taught to repair nearly every type. of home appliance and to build objects to aid in keeping house or beautify living quarters. It’s sort of an encroachment of the Home Economics Department on the Industrial Arts Department. The cosmetics course was introduced. this semester under Mrs. Mary Gibson, .

Barber Course Next

Russell Lane, principal, said the course will be designed to teach girls the arts of beauty culture and probably will be a two-year course. The next step, he said, would be to open a course in barbering. Then, r..Lane said, the school can truthfully say it is preparing pupils to completely service the com-

Monroe County Hopes Cannon Are; Printer's Friend Takes Time Ouf By TIM TIPPETT

Hoosier Goings On

The COURT HOUSE cannon, the jumping 816-pound firearm, that has kept Bloomington in a state of “What-will-it-do-now?” will roam

no longer.

Twice in the - past year the cannon has, in midnight darkness (with the help of pranksters), left its pedestal and settled on the

Court House lawn. County commissioners think twice is twice too often (it takes 12 men to place it back on the pedestal) so they have had the gun cemented to its perch. Just to make sure it won’t wander they used heavy wire as a further precaution,

One day as the friend was walking to the railroad station, two blocks from his home, he suddenly thought he'd forgotten his watch. : Remaining calm he halted and solemnly reached in his pocket, extracted the watch, consulted it and decided he had time to return home and get it. . He woke up 10 steps later. ' ”
