The test consists in the application of a stain

solution is allowed to remain in contact with the
cervix for at least five minutes. The cervix is
then carefully inspected.
It is possible to differentiate between the nor-

The incidence of cancer of the cervix is sec-

early it can be treated effectively with good ex-
pectation of a cure.
By this test, which authorities urge should be
applied at least once yearly on women in middle
age, it should be possible to increase the number
of early diagnoses of cancer of the cervix and
thereby to increase the number of permanent
cures.

EARLY DIAGNOSIS IN CANCER
TATHEN treated in time and when treated ade-
quately cancer often proves to be one of the
most curable of diseases.
Unfortunately, however, cancer is likely to be-
gin in relatively inaccessible parts of the body,
and to progress in its development and spread
without arousing any suspicions as to its exist-
ence.
The ultimate conquest of cancer depends no
doubt upon the discovery of its cause or causes.
Such a discovery is likely to make possible the
prevention of the disease. It is not impossible that
an effective form of treatment may be developed
which will apply to those cases which we cannot
at the present time save through surgery, ra-
dium. or X-ray.
In the meantime, however, we are making
progress in the early recognition of cancerous
conditions. This makes possible the early treat-
ment of an ever larger number of cancer pa--
tients and helps to reduce cancer mortality.
In recent decades enormous progress has been
made in the recognition of cancerous lesions in-
volving the skin, breast, tongue, throat and the
female .generative organs.

mantel (the White House is full of clocks of
every vintage from early French to modern
streamline). Cver the mantel is a painting of

EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS r •
AOTHING CAN replace property de-
\stroyed by fire. An insurance policy may
provide yo with the money to duplicate
but the burned property is gone beyond
redemption. It represents utter and corn-
- plete economic waste. It is a drain on tne
resources of the nation.
The direct loss by fire has been running
in the neighborhood of $300,000,000 a
year. It is estimated that the indirect loss
is several times as great; which would
bring the total to a billion, at a low esti-
mate.
That billion dollars would give employ-
ment to a million workmen at $1,000 a
. year each. It would build more than 300,,
000 homes costing $3,000 each. It would
buy more than 1,200,000 automobiles at
• $800. It would build 200,000 miles of splen-
did highway. It would give university edu-
. cations to 250,000 young men and women.
fIt would provide annual pensions of $50 a
•r month each to 2,000,000 old people.
This, then, is what fire destroys —
wealth, opportunity, and irreplacable re-
sources. America’s criminal carelessness
with fire is one of the blackest spots on
our national escutcheon. A fire you never
heard of, may have deprived you of a job,
or an order for your factory. It may have
raised taxes. For fire hits everybody—
and it’s everybody’s business to help pre-
vent it.

The Gainesville Junior ’ High
band, under the direction of Terry
Stephens, youthful trumpeter, was
presented in concert at the school
auditorium Wednesday morning
during the regular daily activity
period. Performing on the stage
with the band were seven drum
majorettes.
The musical group, which is un-
der the tutorship of Carey C.
Shell, local band instructor, and
Miss Loveta Reed, music instruc-
tor in the school, was organized
two months ago, and only a few of
the group have had previous musi-
cal experience. With the exception
of two ward school students, the
band is made up of students of the
Junior High school.
The concert was begun with
"America,” which was followed by
several lively marches and pep
songs. “The Eyes of Texas" was
the concluding number.

ments as follows:

LIFE AFTER FORTY’
A SURVEY has been made among the in-
A dustries of America on the question of
whether older employes are being replaced
‘by younger men. The findings show that a
greater proportion of workers over 40
years of age are employed now than in
pre-depression days. .
This should serve to refute the claims
that employers have no use for a man
after he has passed the 40 mark. Also, it
should bolster the self-confidence of older
men who have the notion they are pass-
ing the age of usefulness.
Older workers are, of course, recognized
as being more experienced and skilled, but
there are Other factors. Here is how the
employers evaluated the “old timers” and
the young ones in the survey:
A majority thought they were equally
efficient, and a large percentage thought
the old workers were even more efficient;
a majority thought older workers were
more cooperative; a majority said both
groups were about equally vulnerable to
illness and accidents; and a majority
thought the veterans were as easy to ad-
just to new conditions as - the younger
workers.
Some may dispute that life begins at
forty, but certainly life doesn’t end there.

of the Whaley Mill and Eleva-

The mill is one of Gainesville’s
most impressive industrial plants,
has one of the city’s largest pay-
rolls, and has been a local institu-
tion longer than any other busi-
ness enterprise we know about.
Death in the last two years
robbed the company of two of its
longtime leaders. J. C. WHALEY
and JOHN M. MAUPIN, and a
third. HARRY ROSENSTEIN, has
disposed of his interest in the cor-
poration.
Only newcomer to the plant is,
FRED HONEA, whose long ex-
perience as a miller in Dallas,
thoroughly qualifies him to take
the helm. Of Mr. Honea the North-
western Miller says:
“Mr. Honea is regarded as one
of the outstanding mill men in this
territory and the property is ex-
pected to enter into a phase of
'much greater activity under his
