Author—Burton T. Simpson, M. XX,Director , State .Institute tor tbVsJMdyof Malignant Disease, Buffalo , N. Y.. Broadcast—Frida y, August 23, 1523from Station , WGY.
Auspices—State Health Department."It " was once thought that It the
general public was taught the earl ysigns and symptoms of cancer theproblem would be partly solved, forupon the appearance of any suspic-ious symptom the Individual would im-mediatel y consult his doctor and Ifupon examination the condition wasfound to be cancer the chances forcure were very favorable, for cancerin the earl y stages is a curable dis-ease. Great effort has been put forthdurin g the past ten years toward theeducation of the public in regard tocancer and it may he said that muchhas been accom plished , for most per-sons have some knowledge concerningthis disease. However , the desired re-sults have not been obtained. Man ypersons who have recognized suspic-ious symptoms have neglected to'takeadvanta ge of this knowledge and havedelayed in consulting their doctor ,fearing that they might be told thattte y had cancer.
"This fear Is now one of the stumb-ling blocks in our success in the cureof cancer. We hare several reliablemethods for the cure of earl y cancerbut none for advanced cancer . Can-cer is a progressive disease and al-ways fatal If not treated. The earlysymptoms are not specific and similarsigns may* be caused by other condi-tions. Therefore , an individual whomay have fear of cancer becaus e ofcertain signs will be greatly relievedto find upon examination by his doc-tor that there is 0.0 cancer. On tieother hand , if cancer is present, theone chance for recover y lies in itsearl y recognition and treatment.
"K any one has any of these signs,as lumps In the breast, chronic soresor ulcers , abnormal or excessive dis-char ges from the natural orifices , donot let fear stop you from consul tingyour doctor , at once. The chances arethat you have not cancer. However ,if you have , delay is most fatal. AHpersons who have cancer must ulti-matel y come for examination and un-fortunatel y, because of fear , too manycome when it is too late.
"A fact to remember is that cancerin the early stages has little or nopain. If cancer in the beginnin g, hadthe pain ot jumping toothache , veryfew people would die from this dis-ease. Cancer Is not conta gious norInfectious , neither is It hereditar y. Itis not a bad disease of the blood asthou ght by many and It is nothing tobe concealed or ashamed of. It Is thoexcessive growth of body cells usuallycaused by some form of chron ic Irri-tation and starts In a localized area.At this period . If these cells are re:moved by surger y or destroyed byradiation , complete recovery occurs,Many people fear cancer because theybelieve It is Incu rable. This Is an er-roneous belief nnd is founded upon thefact that many persona neglect thodisease In tho early stages and onlycome for consult ation when the can-cer is advanced. There are Innumber-able persons, living who hav e beencompletely cur ed of cancer. It Is need-less to say that tho ma jority of thoseconsulted their doctor at the first ap-pearance of symptoms .
"Some typos of cancer give fewsymptoms lni the early sta ges andthese may only bo discovered u poncareful examinatio n. It is suggestedthat persons past 35 go to their familydoctor once a year for a thoro ugh ex-amination. Thus any abno rmal con.ditlon would bo discovere d enrly andcured , or a complete bill of healt hwould be obtained and fear and enx-lety would bo relieved or obvia ted.
"In conclusion lot me im pro. su uponyou. the dange r that llos in delay olconsultation , because of fear. "

AND MR ENGINEMotor Does Not OperateMore Efficiently in; Dainp
.Air, Say Scientist s. ' ¦: "
Science has finall y settled .the av-era ge motorist' s ..mystery 'of whatcauses bis automobil e engine to oper-ate more efficiently and less-noisily inwet weath er. Science's solution . ofthe conundrum Is staggeringly simple.Science says the engine does not op-erate any more <jtfl clenHy. ""
There was never anything to themyster. except "air ," science says. Itconcedes that the damp - air mighthave some effect on acoustics, andthus serve vto eliminate 'or -, at leastminimize knocks and other alarmin gengine noises. . • ¦ . -: ¦' : ' .c
Favors Damp Weather .;Char les Laverne Bradley, rwp.o for
30 years has been'- a specllaist In theidosyricrnsies and caprice s" of fick leautomobile engines, was one of thosewho was convinced that cranky en-gines opera ted more smoothly andquietly In damp weather. :"
But Mr. Bradley learned from Dr.J. A. Smallwood , professor In chargeof au tomoti ve engineering at JohnsHopkins university ^ that damp air liasno effect at all on the engine 's power.
"The contention tha t thick weatherdoes Im prove the engine" performanceIs a widesprea d fallacy, " said DoctorSma llwoud. "Several manufacturers,capitalizing the false Idea, began sev-eral years ago to advertise water carburetors , claiming that they Incr easedpower and efficiency, eliminated carbon and made a generally smootheri-mn.hi g motor. "
Liken Cold Water -But the United States bureau of
standards made tests and proved defi-ni tely, said Doctor Smnllwood , tha tonly one of the manufacturers ' claimswas true. The bureau of stsmdardsfound that an internal combustion en-gine will run more smoothly when coldwater absorbs some of the ben t anddecreases expansion.
"It is one of my own speculations ,"Doctor Smallwood stated , "that water-laden atmos phere brings about achan ge In acoustics which deadenssound nnd gives the motoring;.Initya firro belief In better operation attheir cars."
J.O lesi tor urugguig uruKtre , epueuup. the car to 30 miles an hour on asmooth , level road, then shift to neu-tral and let the cat, const. When thespeedometer shows 25 miles on hour,begin timing the deceleration. If theenr is not rollin g Ave miles an hour ,or faster , nt the end of GO seconds,have the brakes Inspected. To offsetthe effect of wind, the driver shouldmake the test In both directions overthe same level stretch nnd note theaverage time taken to decelerate from25 miles per hour to 5 miles per hour ,The overa ge should he CO seconds ormure, if the car slows down too rap-idly and the brakes are found 0. K..then there Is too much Motional reslstunce somewhere, and tho quickerthat Is corrected tbe better. Drug-ging brakes will affect the nccr 'onitlon nnd hlll-cllmblog nbllltics of unautomobile Thoy Impost: j ' t bo muchextra load ability and lncreu&u If * gasollne consum ption. »

• Made by,A. O. SmkhA tabulation ot the highway mileage
figures -for the ten towns within theCount y of Suffolk ,"' made by Count ySuperintendent of Highways A. O.Smith tor the Long Island Chamber ofCommerce , reveals that of a total of2,660 miles la the county, not includ-ing, incorporated villages, all but 641miles have been improved - Of these ,iZl miles are stat e and county roadsand 2422 miles ar e town roads. Of
^concrete roads there are 167 miles and1209 .mites are oiled earth. The re-mainta g '404 .inilea of Improved roadsare shaped and crowned.
Brookh aven town leads with 851miles of roads ,. Isllp is second With437 miles, Southam pton third with 335miles. . Shelter Island is at the bottomot the list with but 27 miles. In thistabulation the . towns of Huntin gton,Shelter Island. and'Sinithtown are list-ed , as having no unimproved roads,while; Southold tofvn has less than onemile.
Huntin gton leads with 63 miles ofconcret e roads. Brookhaven with 28miles and Islip' with 26 miles are nextin rank. t
Oiled earth roads in Suffolk -Count yhave been very highly commended bythe motorin g public. Of these Brook-haven and Isli p have the greatestmlleaga, 28? each , Southam pton with176 and Southold with 119 taking sec-ond and third places , respectively.
The total mileage by towns is, Baby-Ion , 161; Brookhaven , S51; Bast Hamp-ton , 165; Huntington , 274; Islip, 437;Riverhead , 131; Shelter Island , 27;Sm.ltb.town , 141; Southam pton , 336;Southold , 144..
County Superintendent Smith saysthe increase in road mileage due to anew measurement raises the countyfrom eleventh In the State of NewYork to third , and will increase therevenue from the Gas Tax and CountyAid Funds at . least $50,000 per year.The total estimated amount each yearfor the construction of what areknown as county aid roads in the var-ious towns is as follows ;Gas tax '. »115,<M)0.Lowroan Money, State 74,460.Lowman Money, County 74,460.Automobile license 202,000.
Total J465 .920.This, the County Superintendent ex-
plains , will build 15 miles ot concreteroad each year In Suffolk Count y.
The ton-mile stri p of unimprovedroad at tho extreme ' eastern end ofLon g Island Is on tho 1930 program ' ofconstruction by tho State HighwayDepartment , It has boon annou nced.TJils is tho .portion of the MontaukHi ghway which extends from HitherHilts State Park thr ough the thous-ands of acres of th,o Montau k BenchDevelopment Corporation to MontaukPark , at tlio very ti p of the Island.
In a surve y recently conducted bytho Sunrlsors , a .dtvlaion i of the LongIsland Chamber of Commerce, it.wasfound that ri ght-of-way soarchors andengineers from tho Stat e Departmentot Public Works have alread y boonover the ground so that actual con-struction con begin prom ptly after thoIrtgislaturo and tho County of Suffolkappropria te tho nocossnry funds.
Tho coot will bo shared by tho Stoleand oounty on tlio customary 65—35per cent , basis, according to E. T,Hawkins, Supervising Engineer of tlioBabylon Engineers' Ofllco of tlio Bur-eau of Hl BhwayB.
