PREVENTION OF CANCER No. 1

In a watch-dial factory in Newark,
N.J., a few years ago, 18 girls em-
ployed in the illuminating of watch
dials with radium, were accustomed
to shape the small brushes they used
with their lips In this way some of
the radium was swallowed. It found
its way to their bones and all of
these girls subsequently developed
sarcoma (a form of cancer) of the
bones of the legs, pelvis and other
parts of the bony framework. Such
@ serious accident is unlikely to hap-
pen again. Preventive measures now
ensure the safety of such workers.

It is a lamentable fact that, all
over the world, doctors see the ma-
jority of cases of cancer at too late
a date for effective treatment or at)
a stage when the final result is at

sults from the use of preventive’
measures in such affections ag diph-
theria, typhoid fever, infantile com-
plaints, tuberculosis and the infections
generally, give encouragement to
efforts in the prevention of cancer.
How may cancer be prevented and
how again, may its ill-effects be
mitigated? «

1. By the avoidance of those irri-
tants which are known to predispose
to cancer,

2. By periodic health examination.
8. By education—

Might Have Been Sia

Practical Jokers Found Their Idea
Cost Them Plenty

A couple of citizens of an Ontario
town, decided to play a practical
joke on a friend by removing his
motor car from its parking place.and
driving it several blocks, leaving the
owner the task of finding it. Un-
fortunately, instead of their friend's
car, it was another that resembled it
greatly. The owner reported to the
Police that the car was stolen. Three
constables started on a search and
found it with the two would-be jokers
still in it. They were arrested and
brought before the magistrate who
told the accused that they had par
ticipated in the kind of joke that
might have cost them each a year in
Jail, if the police had decided to
charge them with theft of a car.
However, the explanation caused the
charge to be reduced to one of taking
&@ car without the consent of the
owner. The penalty imposed was a
fine of $10 each with costs.

The moral of this is that there
ought to be a good deal of discrimi-
nation when it comes to deciding on
@ practical joke. Most of the latter
have been pretty well worked to
death and the modern practical
joker is more or less of a nuisance.

THE CANADIAN ADVENTURE

extending this privilege to cats.

Next week we will discuss British

way to the Orient, and tell how

mention the kittens.

to stay put or get shot—can’t sleep

Floradora—Flora for the Car, Dora
for the Trailer!

Little River in the Kootenay Val-
ley, B.C. (Special Despatch by Bob
Sim).—Last night at dusk we left the
Kootenay Trail and heading Flora-
dora (Flora is the Ford, and Dora the
Trailer) up a steep grade we found
ourselves in a wee hamlet nestled
between two mighty hills. We were
told where we could camp, but warn-
ed that if we wandered away from
camp we would be shot. We made
camp on the bank of this little stream
in a cottonwgod grove, and slept un-
der the stars with the joyous voice
of the brook in our ears. How like
the voice of youth it was! Gay, un-
tiring, enthusiastic; no obstacle too
forbidding, no canyon too precipitous.
It is clean as the silver brooks of the
Saugeen River away back in Grey
County. Too soon it will reach the
stability of maturity, join a broad
black river, mingle its pure with im-
pure, to make its unhurried way to
the sea, to final oblivion.

The Kootenay Range, besides being
the name of the family cook stove, is
also rich in precious metals and the
threat of being shot recalled those
early violent days in British Colum-
bia. But the explanation was that
there had been a Doukhobor uprising
recently. The Doukhobors had been
charged with burning down a number
of homes the locality. As we
drove along we could see in the dark-
ness the dim figures of men seated in
fence corners, puffing their pipes with
loaded guns on their knees. We built
a little fire to cook our supper, and
minded our own business all evening.

The incident brought home to us
with force the great problem facing

Study Of Suicide

Doctors Conclude That It Is A
Disease That Is Preventable

An intensive three-year study of
suicide, conducted under the auspices
of the Boston City hospital, was re-
vealed, yielding as its major conclu-
sions that suicide is a disease which
in a majority of cases is preventable.

The study covered 1,147 patients
admitted to the hospital after at-
tempting suicide. Direct author of
the report is Dr, Merrill Moore, asso-
clate in psychiatry, Harvard Medical
school.

“Regarding prevention of suicide,
Dr. Moore listed three simple
methods:

Talking to the individual concerned,
allowing him to express some state
of anxiety and then quietly discuss-
ing it with him.

Taking him out to dinner, a simple
action, yet one, Dr. Moore said, that
had been known to save a life.

An hour’s conversation with a
friend, physician or priest.

Among individual conclusions
standing out in the report are:

More women attempt suicide than
men;

More men are successful in killing
themselves;

Few persons, apparently, attempt
suicide on a full stomach;
Poison is the most

selected suicide device.

Three things—the will, the work,
the success—span the whole of hu-

brilliant and happy careers; the work
carries one across the threshhold, and
when the journey has ended, success
crowns the work.

London’s Most Exclusive Club

Famous Criminologists And Dis-
tinguished Lawyers Among
Its Members

Of all London's dining clubs that
known as “Our Society” is quite the
most exclusive. Originally it was
known as the Murder Club, its pur-
pose being to dine with murder, as it
were. Of the “First Twelve,’ who
founded this most desirable society,
but one is now alive—Sir Max Pem-
berton. Among its members were
such famous criminologists as the
late H. B. Irving, George R. Sims,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and, later
on, William Le Que the famous
Sir Edward Marshall-Hall, and Sir
George Turner, the great surgeon.

The idea of this club then, as it
is now, was to have the story, and
the whole story, of the famous crimes
of the day. Distinguished counsel
were willing, in the profound secret
of its meetings, to disclose those in-
ner truths of certain trials known
only to the judges and the lawyers
engaged.

It was also a missionary society,
rescuing more than one innocent per-
son when guilt had been generally
accepted. Acting under its inspira-
tion, there is no doubt that Sir
Arthru Conan Doyle established the
innocence of a man condemned for
murder at Glasgow.

To-day the membership of the
society is representative of many
callings, some of the more famous of
our leading barristers being enthusi-
astic supporters, while Stewards of
the Jockey Club, generals, admirals,
to say nothing of front-rank authors
and playwrights, are to be found in

Increase Of Drunkenness

Noted War Padre Says Liquor Sap-

Warnings against the increase of

were heard from Archdeacon F. G,
Scott, noted war padre with the
Canadian corps, who addressed the
Canadian national exhibition direc-
tors’ luncheon at Toronto. “The in-

for bing, we met a

farmer in Saskatchewan would re-
ceive in a month's relief for a fam-
ily of ten. Even so the people in
Banff are human like ourselves. They
are gay and sad, buoyant or depress-
ed like any dirt farmer.

We called on a Senator the other
day, and spent forty-eight hours en-
joying the hospitality of his moun-
tain home. On the first day I got
my feet wet, and had to borrow the
Senator's bedroom slippers. During
the afternoon we visited one of the
high class hotels of the district, and
someone mistook me for an eccentric
professor in those parts, who wore
queer clothes. While visiting the
Senator we enjoyed the luxury of a
clean bed; after so many weeks sleep-
ing on Mother Earth's kind but rough
bosom, the clean sheets and deep
mattresses actually kept us awake.

Our favorite high hatting trick
around Banff and Lake Louise was
to stroll into an expensive hotel, buy
a post card, then ask for a handful
of writing paper. Then seated in a
comfortable chair in the hotel writing
room we would write. our friends on
the stationery. ‘

Visit to E. P. Ranch

South of Calgary we drove to the

. P. Ranch coming through the
Turner Valley on the way back. At
the E. P. Ranch we found the 1,000-
acre property of the Duke of Wind-
sor, the stables, the corrals, the main
bungalow, and the men’s quarters,
built and equipped in princely style,
were desolate of life except for a
Chinese cook, and two milk cows. The
men were working on the harvest,
and Professor Carlyle was away. In
the stable the geneology of some of
the fine E. P. Shorthorn herd were
posted; on the dotted line for the
owner’s name the words, H. R. H.
the Prince of Wales, had been typed.
These were scratched out with a pen
and replaced significantly by—the
Duke of Windsor. In spite of the
beauty of the scenery and the spac-
jousness of the ranch we were seized
with a feeling of depression that re-
mained with us long after we had
ee As For Plain People

Even so a farmer is not alone in
any summer resort to-day. The
automobile is a great demoralizer. In
Banff Hot Springs I met a
farmer from Alberta's irrigated
Jands. In the tourist camp where we
pitched our tent we ran into plain
people from all parts of the conti-
nent, who must count every nickle.
It was good to be among them; the
people in the west are friendly, few
artificial social barriers exist among
them,

At Edmonton we had two kittens
given us; these were in great demand
as pets among the young ladies of
the camp. We found it very con-
venient to lend a kitten for half a
day in exchange for washing the
breakfast dishes. At night the kit-
tens were glad to come back to the
bachelors’ tent, While we do not
fuss with them, we don’t mind if they

veterans in particular, Canon Scott
declared it was their duty to make
the world a happier and better place
to live in. “In Canadian life there is
a lack of sympathy for the oppressed,
especially during the recent depres-
sion,” he added. “We see covetous-
ness and dishonesty spreading among
our people.”

“There is no reason for antagon-
ism between employer and em-
ployees,” said Canon Scott. “We
need the same comradeship in indus-
trial relationship as you displayed in
the trenches.”
