New Haven, Conn., Pec. 30. Three outstanding conclusions were announced- today hy leading exponents, of -medicine and genetics during a symposium on cancer conducted »t- Yale University by the American Society of Zoologists. These con clusions were: That cancer is not an infectious thaf’jieaneer can not be' de veloped except by persons in whom there is a hereditary cancerous strain. That even persons tainted at birth with a cancerous strain can not de velop the disease spontaneously but only through the. ageucy of environ mental factors, chief among which is frictional irritation. The first was expounded by Dr. James B. Murphy, of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Dr. L. Strong, of the Bussey Institute, Harvard University, supported Dr. Murphy in his finding and added his convictions on hereditary, which were disputed, however, by fir. James Ew ing. of Cornell University. Another announcement of .signifi cance was that of Dr. Halsey J. Bagg, of the Cornell Medical Coliege, who 'reported that experimentation with mice and study of the clinical history of two hundred cancerous mothers in dicated t?iat the nursing of babies has little if any effect in producing can cer of the breast. Abstention from nursing, on the contrary, he believed, had a noticeable effect in increasing cancerous susceptibility. f In connection with recent published reports that Dr. William E. Gye, of London, in collaboration with J. E. Barnard, had succeeded in isolating the cancer germ, Mr. Murphy warned scientists that "observations of this nature will require perhaps years of careful analysis with parallel biolog ical experiments before any final judg ment can be passed (At them." “It is quite evident that cancer is inherited." said Dr. Strong in | launching his heredity contentious. “There is strong presumtive evidence that unit factors, probably multiple, are functional in the incidence of cancer. Whether these factors are all sufficient for the production or whether they produce merely a sub stratum ou which certain extrinsic factors such as irritation must act remains to be demonstrated. Dr. Strong cited a long list of in stances brought to light by science in which cancer obviously has been a family heritage and he called upon the experience of preceding research workers to substantiate his findings. DR. FRED M. HANES KILLS HIS FIRST LIQN Winsign-Sakm Man Successful on Fonrth Day of Hunt in Africa. Winston-Snlem. Dec. 30—A mes sage received here 6fotp Dr. Fred M. Hanes, who is now on a hunting trip in Africa, accompanied by Mrs. Hanes, conveyed the information that he had just killed his first lion. It was on the fourth day of his big game hunt in the jungles of the Dark Continent. Dr. Ifanes stated that he and Mr. Turltou, ytdely kuowy big game hunter, and n group of camp- at tendants went out one night on the plains, to have his first lion hunting experience. During the night the lions werev heard passing some dis tance away, and as day dawned the natives in the party soon “stirred up” five lions, including a inale, two females and two young lion*. The male escaped but a female and the two young iipns were killed. The trail of blood was followed and a little later a'huge lioness came into view- Dr. Hanes shot the bcjwt at some little distance. She charged again andthis time she fell a victim to the Winston-Salem physician’s gun. only about six paees e-—-. where he stodA 1 Mabel: "How is your husband get ting pn with golf?” Alice: “Oh, very well indeed. .The children are allowed to watch him now.” Mistress: "Have you finished clean ing the brass ornaments yet?” Maid (sore about soinetliing): ‘Ten, ma'am —all except your rings and bracelets 1” LKNOTRRHYNE VICTOR OVER CONCORD V TEAM Local* Lose Rough and Tumble Match by Stage of 27 -11.—Y Team Shoot ing Ineffective. 4 Another game was lost by the Con cord Y basketball five Wednesday night when it was unable to break through the Lenoir-Rhyne defense for markersc'the collegians taking the big end of a 27-IJI score. From the outset the contest was red-hot, both sides scrapping over the ball as though their lives depended on holding it, but the superior coach ing of the collegers came to their aid nnd they were able to work the ball better under the goal for ’ “crip” shots. The game was one of the roughest ever seen ojn. the local floor, both sides plgying a brand of basketball more in keeping with the gridiron game than with the indoor-cage game. The Lenoirians, however, had the better of this department of the match, as in others, using their su perior strength to an advantage. Starring for the Lutherans were Moose at center, Hodge at forward, and Coulter, substitute forward. Each of these three players made eight points, but of the three, Moose showed up best, being the central figure in all the passwork of the team and mak ing some shot** of the miracle va riety. No player starred for Concord, the enttire squad doing good work but for the most part making ineffective advances toward the goal, t The game started with a rush, Con cord drawing first blood when Easley . dropped a short one in from the side. This lead was not maintained long. coming through shortly after ward with a field goal and a foul goal. This score of 3-2 stood fgr a period of over - ten minutes and to ward the end of half, the Luth erans made several goals, the half ending lft-3. The early stages of the second pe riod were Hotly contested, Lenoir gradually crept away 1 from the locals aqd when Coach Denny ran in some new material, not making it plain the position to be played, the Lutherans scored baskets consecutively before the Concord team collected itself.

Referee, Hawn. MT- McKinley opens up FOR VOLCANIC ACTION A Change of the Climate of Alaska Is Expected. Anchorage, Alaska. Dec. 30. —The return of volcanic activity to North America’s loftiest peak. Mount Mc- Kinley. 20,000 feet high, iudieated by (he volume of smolje and stelJm -«ten rising- from the mountain, jand an earthquake felt here yesterday, is one of a series of volcanic phenomena in which many observers today saw a promise of radical permanent cli matic changes for this southern part of Alaska. Since Mount Shishaldin. in the Aleutians, 800 miles southwest of Mc- Kinley, erupted November 11th. this region has eximrienced a spring-like November nnd December, unparalleled in the memory of the oldest inhabi tants. Streams, usually frozen at this season, have remained Open and in place of the usual snow-bound landscape is green vegetation. The affected area covers several hundred square miles, all along Cook Inlet, to the northwest of which Mount Mc- Kinley, rises, and far up into the val ley of the Sushintna River. Anchor age had a fnhreuheit temperature of 128 degrees above Christmas Day. when the memory usually is around zero. Mount McKinley’s smoking appears to mean a shifting northward of Alaskan volcantie activity, which hitherto has centered in the southern end of the Alaskan range, of which McKinley is a northern outpost. The greatest recent outburst was in 1012. when Mount Katmai blew off its three-mile-wide cap. and the valley of tjje Ten Thousand Smokes came into being. A year ago Mount pavalof erupted and last month Mount Shi rfhaldin followed suit. Each of these eruptions was accompanied by earth quakes and climatic changes. Since the Slieshaldin blow-off the warm ail' from Cook fillet's heated waters has caused considerable melting of large glaciers. Observers believe that subterraliean fiyes are bring turned northward pro ducing temperatures below the ocean surface, which like the Gulf Stream and the Japan Current, cast their warming influence inland. Geologists consider these forces similar to thos/ , which ages ago sdmerged the land bridge between North America and Asia and while no such major altera tion is probable now, many think the banishment of the former bitter wint ers from this of Aluska may be permanent.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE f 200 “RARE” VIOLINS • PROVE IMITATIONS Rochester Experts’ Committee Disap points All Owners Coming Miles For the Test. Rochester, N.- Y-, De*. 20. —Into the office of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle yesterday trudged 200 old men, women anTT some children from many towns in western New York state, buoyed by a great hope. Under their arms they carried vio lins—soiqe quaint and purporting to date as far back as 1600, some mere toys, and most of them worthless imi tations of great makes. Their pilgrimage to the newspaper qffice was prompted by their desire to prove they were owners of genuine rare old Stradivarius violins—even though it already has been established that most of the few Strads in the world have been located. A little Associated Press despatch had told how Mr. and Mrs. Phil Jienges, of Urban, 111., had foil ml an old broken fiddle in their garret which proved to be a Stradivarius and brought them an offer off SIO,OOO. Soon after an old man came to the newspaper here and showed the edi tor his violin and declared he too was entitled to SIO,OOO. A few days Inter several men and women invaded the Democrat and Chronicle office and declared they also owned Stradiva rius, Stiner. Guarnerius and other noted originals. Pretty soon the news paper was overwhelmed by long-haired musicians, old maids, engineers in overalls, bricklayers and schoolboys, all loudly proclaiming they were own ers of first makes of famous violins, The distracted editors finally gave publication to their predicament. Then a group of local musicians, headed by Gustav Tinlot, concert master of the Rochester I’hilharmonic Orchestra and for ten years concert master of the New York Symphony Orchestra, came to the rescue, an nouncing it would examiue all violins submitted. Meet of those who came in response to this offer were poor folk from mites away. They filled a big room set apart for the examination. Some body casually announced there weren’t 200 Stradivarius violins in existenee, whereupon those present stared sus piciously and contemptuously at each other. ~*Tn the heart of each was a conviction that his instrument was one which would bring/fame and for tune. Mr.. Tinlos. 'uirnself a professor and an expert judge of rare violins, smiled sadly as scores of old men and wom en crowded anxiously about. Time after time owners bent anx iously toward the judges as they hand ed over their violins, and time after time the judges shook their heads and ■said: “Very good—" nnd the expectant faces of the pilgrims would brighten until the judges added—“ But only imitation.” BRAMHAM SAYS HE ISN’T RUNNING Baseball Magnate Avers He Will Not Be Candidate For Office. Durham, Dec. 30.—.“1 positively w’tmld not run for die office of ptver ’nor of North Carolina nor for po litical office of any kind—none what soever.” declared William G. Bram ham. Durham attorney and state Re publican chairman, here today. Chairman Bramham’s statement was his auswer to the mention of his name as possible gubernatorial can didate on the Republican .ticket in 1028. Mr. Bramham was emphatic. All and sundry plans for a Repub lican coup in North Carolina, which involve the use of t’ae Durham man’s najne on the ticket are therefore with out standing and to no avail. Mr. Bramham is strong in his own party. He is president of the Pied mont, the South Atlantic and the Virginia baseball leagues. He is one of Durham’s most able lawyers, al though he rarely practices before the courts. He has long been a faithful worker within t*ae Republicau party of North Carolina and esrves now as State chairman. He is. in fact, a very clever man. and therein perhaps, is good reason why he will not run for political office. Mr. Bramham has many things to occupy his time, between directing a state political organization, three base ball leagues and making a satisfactory living, FQUR BOYS SENTENCED TO DEATH IN GEORGIA Two WUi Die on Gallows and Two Others Meet End in Eleetrie Chair For Murders.
