PRESIDENT OVERLOOKS A BET.
Ordinarily President Wilson shows
much wisdom in making his appoint-
ments of men to fill important offi-
ces, but it seems to the Herald that
he missed it when naming his hoard
of control of the reginal hank sys-
tem. As we undertsand it the object
in a large measure of the regtow^ to'laTanOTheV'c*b\7^
hanks is to provide money when
there is none and to so equalize the
distribution of cash that panics will
be impossible in the future. And
this being true, we say he should
have selected a board composed of
country newspaper men, for the good
and sufficient reason that they • are
seasoned and trained to get and pro-
vide money where there is none, and
because you couldn’f make one of
them acknowledge a panic if yon car-
ried hime before a grand jury. How-
ever, we are not holding this matter
against the president.

SUBMARINE CABLES.
No Immediate Fear That Wireleea Will
Supplant Them.
While the system ot wireless teleg-
raphy continues its growth there is no
great evidence that It is likely te super-
sede the cable, for in#tbe year 1913
new submarine cables were laid by
the British government between Eng-
land and Ireland, although the British
postmaster general controls the wire-
less telegraph stations in Great Brit-
ain and Ireland.
Cables were laid by the Fre^agtegov-
eminent between France and Algiers;
by the British, Canadian and Austral-
asian governments Jointly between
Australasia and New Zealand; by the
Greek government between Chios and
Mitylene, and the German government
tween Germany and England this year.
The Dutch government is preparing to
lay new cables in the East Indies and
the Japanese government between
Japan and China. Private English
cable companies laid cables from
Arabia to Ceylon and from Ceylon to
the Malay peninsula. In fact, nearly
6,000 miles of new cable were made
and laid in 1013.
The mileage of cables during tbe last
five years has increased from 247,000
to 280,000. The governments hay# in-
creased their cables by 23 per cent and
the private companies by 11 per rent
There is no instance of the abandon-
ment of a submarine cable and tbe
substitution of wireless telegraphy.—

FIRES AT SEA.
A New Scheme For Smothering Them
by the Uee of Flue Gas.
One ot the most promising of the
new methods of fighting fire on ship-
board at sea is to fight tbe fire with
fire. It has already b<?en adopted on
some vessels and is receiving much
attention from marine engineers.
Its purpose is to control just such
fires as destroyed tbe Volturno. By this
system tbe hot gases that come from
the boiler dues and ordinarily go up
the smokestack are used to smother a
fire. A vessel is equipped with great
pipes running from tbe boiler room to
all parts of tbe ship, and at any time
the flue gases can be switched from
the smokestack to these pipes. The
pipes would pour these flue gases into
the hold or the sections of the ship
where the fire was raging aDd smoth-
er it.
Flue gas contains only 9 per cent of
oxygen, and 15 per cent of oxygen is
required to supqy't fire Consequently
if great quantities of flue gas are
poured into the burning hold the oxy-
gen there will soou be reduced to a
point where combustion caunot con-
tinue and the firo must die out—Sat-

DISEASE LURKS IN
“CANOERHOUSES"
Facts Cited Dy Scientist to
Bear Out Theory.
INFECTIOUSNESS IS SHOWN.
Sir Thomas Oliver Experimented With
. Mice—Animals Kept In Infected Cage
Were Attacked by the Malady Until
It Had Been Disinfected Many Times.
Chronic Irritation a Cause
An interesting contribution to the
discussion as to whether cancer can j
acquired by inhabiting a house prevL |
ously occupied by a sufferer from this
disease was made by Sir Thomas 01
iver, the noted medical expert. In a
recent lecture at Newcastle Sir Thom
as pointed out ti.it this qu lion had j
claimed the attention of medical men j
for a long time and that references to |
“cancer houses” abound in medical
literature, but nothing had been con
elusive!y proved.
"Sir Thomas said that the evidence in
favor of the theory of infectiousness
was too strong to be ignored He gave
instances of several remarkable cases
in a village of Norway which had a
population of 800 persons There had
never been more than one case of can
cer annually until one year there were
eight cases, which seemingly centered
around a single sufferer from that dis
ease.
Eleven Deaths In Block.
In a French village of 400 inhab-
itants there had been eleven deaths
from cancer in seven years in the same
block of houses, while three years later
there were seventeen deaths in the
same block.
Sir Thomas said that 1,062 bouses in
Paris in which deaths from cancer oc-
curred are being watched. In twelve
of these houses there have already
been two successive cases of the dis-
ease. There were, he said, nineteen
deaths in” a short street in an unnamed
town between the years 1893 and 1908.
and in several of the houses there had
been more than one case. The circum-
stances were such -that these deaths
occurring In the same houses could not
be regarded as merely a coincidence.
Tbe lecturer cited several striking in-
stances where more than one death
from cancer occurred in single booses
or even in the same rooms,
There was a case of a vicarage in the
north of England, where two succes
slve vicars died of cancer. Another
was in Somersetshire, where a man
died some time ago of this disease
Since then his wift, her second bus
band and two other occupants of tbe
house have died of cancerous affec-
tions.
Sir Thomas said he foand further
confirmatory evidence of tbe theory of
“cancer bouses” by experiments which
he conducted some time ago with an
infected mouse cage, in which he
placed healthy mice which had been
collected for laboratory purposes. A
large proportion of the mice became
cancerous until the cage had been re-
peatedly disinfected. Other mice which
were kept at the same time in an un-
tainted cage remained healthy.
Food as a Cause of Cancer.
Chronic irritation is the most im-
portant condition which predisposes
tissue to cancerous growths, according
to Dr. William J. Mayo of Rochester^
Minn., president of the American Sur
gical association.
The peculiar cancer which attacks
the mouths of natives of India, Dr
Mayo says, is due to the irritation set
up by the juice of the betel nut which
they chew. Cancer of the groin Is al-
most entirely confined to sailors and
chimney sweeps. Cancer of the stom
ach forms one-third of the cases
among civilized people, but is less fre-
quent among savages and animals.
Dr. Mayo seems Inclined to blame
the prevalence of cancer more on the
quantity of food eaten by people In
civilized countries than on its quality.

quality gold jewelry will be more

NOVEL CURE FOR STAMMERING
Left Handed Patients Change to Right,
and Vice Versa.
Dr. Hudson Makuen. specialist at
the Polyclinic hospital. Philadelphia,
asserts that arsons afflicted with
stammering may be cured If they will
reverse the use of their hands. His
theory is that if a stammerer is left
banded he should cultivate the use of
the right hand and the stammering
will probably disappear. The same ap
plies to a right handed person.
Dr. Makuen has treated 2.000 persons
afflicted with stammering. In man}
cases permanent cures resulted. ’ Of
the number 77 per cent were males.
85 per cent of average mentality, 14
per cent below normal and 1 per cent

HE minute daddy got home that evening he was at once seized by Jack

“What—is it that we are going to tomorrow?” asked daddy. Just as

“Now. daddy.” said Jack, “yon mustn't pretend you nave forgotten, for
you know that we know better.”
“Dear me.” said daddy, “it does seem as if 1 couldn't get tbe best of

“‘Do you know that this means it is spring?"
“‘Yes,’ said a second elephant; T am very glad Aren’t you?’
“ ‘Yes: I am delighted, but we had better not say to the keepers that we

“But at that one of the oldest elephants spoke up:

“The elephants thought it all over, and then they came to agree with the
