DEFEAT FOR
CANCER IN
3 GENERATIONS
IT CAN BE BEATEN
Chicago, Mar. 24.
It is within the realm of pos- sibility that man's fight against cancer could be wen within three generations, according to Dr. Maude Slye, whose cancer search has brought her world
renown.

Dr. Slye, winner of the gold medal of the Radiological Society -the same honour bestowed upon Madame Curie-said the fight could be carrled further in the next ten years than in all its his- lory if enough family medical re- cords were avaliable for study.
"I a medical students who graduate in the approaching com- mencements would pledge them- selves to collect accurate, com- plete and intelligent medical his tories of each of their patients," she said, "before these young men died we would have enough data thout cancer to stamp it from human experience."

since bred, observed and per- formed autopsies on nearly 150,- 000 mice.
From her thousands of case histories of mice which have lived in the neat ttle cages housed in! an old drelling on the University of Chicago campus, Dr. Slye knows exactly which are susceļi- ble to cancer and the location of cancer they might develop.
With similarly adequate re- cords, the same might be done for humans, she pointed out.

Merrie England Playground For Fascinating Spy
Dramas Of 1936
London, Mar. 26. As in pre-war days Merrie England has become once again a playground for the ancient but ever new and always facinating game of espionage and counter-espionage.
"If you had a complete medical history of your mother and father and your grandmothers and grandfathers." the gray-haired, dark-eyed Doctor said, "you might more possibly know whether or not you could have cancer, and what kind of cancer, just as I know about mice,"

A BAD PATCH FOR
THREE YEARS
WHY WE MAY HAVE LESS SUN AND MORE RAIN DURING the next three or four years great tornadoes on the sun will reach their maximum intensity.
What does that mean for us?
Stormy weather and radio interference. These sunspot cycles reach their peak every eleven years.
In 1920 and 1927, when broadcasting was just getting into ita atride, much interference was caused by solar disturbances, especially affecting reception of foreign programmes.
It so happened that when broadcasting was developed suddenly around 1922 the earth was passing through, a phase of minimum sunspot activity, and our atmosphere was relatively free from "solar atmospherics,"
We have just passed through another period of minimum "spot" activity, so that the next three years will bring more "static" trouble to wireless listeners:
The weather in all parts of the world soon will show evidence of the increasing solar disturbances. Hurricanes, typhoons, and, floods will be more frequent, and barometric pressure in ocean cyclones will fall to lower levels,
In Great Britain, the summers of 1936, 1937, and 1938 will be much

Often it is thought that increasing sunspots menn that less heat- jemitted from the sun. The reverse is true. Only those parts of the sun affected by the vortices emit less radiant energy than usual. That sunspots are of electrical origin and are really vast tornadoes of deep-seated origin, in which electrified particles are whirled at enormous speed, is proved by the presence of a magnetic field.

Ears For Aviators
Mechanical ears for piloting a plane by sound alone, an entirely new principle in aviation, were described to the Institute of the Acronautical Sciences_in_New York recently.
Luls de Florez, of the de Florez Engineering Company of New York, who has spent three years develop ing them and flown many hours blindfolded, gave a "ground" dem- onstration with the instruments.
Ears Replace Eyes
All "blind" flying heretofore has been done with the eyes, watching instrument boards. But with "me- chanical ears" the pilot flies wholly by listening with a pair of ear phones. He can use them in fog clouds, darkness, on any kind of plane.
The phones are connected with a tiny propeller, set far out on the leading edge of one wing. This pro peller is the size of a toy pin-wheel, Like the toy it changes speed with acceleration of the plane.
It runs faster if the plane dips, slower if it ascends, steady if level. The propeller drives a lille genera. tor. This generator hums in the pilot's cars.
Its tone grows shriller for dip. lower for ascent, tells him whether the plane is level. It tells him quicker than the eye could do the same thing. For the electric cur- rent is amplified, so that a slight Įdeviation shricks ita warning.
