O EPItKSEN T A T I V E S of the
world's five greatest sea pow
ers are assembled In London for a
conference on limitation of naval
armaments. What they hope to ac
complish, if they accomplish any
thing at all. Is prevention of use
less waste of taxpayers' money In
competitive . building of great
fleets.
There is no thought anywhere in
the world, at present, of complete
naval disarmament.
CUPPOSE you and your neighbor
have euch a daughter, and that
thete daughters are about to grad
uate from high school.
With the idea of overawing your
neighbor and putting something
over on him, you buy your daugh
ter an outfit that is much more ex
pensive than you can afford.
Whereupon your neighbor, deter
mined not to be outdone, turns in
and buys HIS daughter an even
more expensive outfit than you
have bought for yours.
rOV are both
very foolish In-
1 deed.
You have strained your
resources to buy something you
don't need. You have confirmed
your daughters in expensive habits.
Because you have splurged for
things you DON'T need, you will
have to go short on things you DO
need.
It would be much better for both
of you to get together and say:
"Let's be reasonable about this.
Let's not mortgage our whole fu
ture in a useless effort to get
ahead of each other."
pitESIDENT HOOVER and Pre-
infer Mac Donald, sensible,
clear-seeing leaders, want the great
naval powers of the earth to get
together on this plain, common
sense basis, just as you and your
neighbor might get together and
co-operate for mutual benefit.
They can see no reason why na
f lions shouldn't co operate, just as
individuals co-operate.
FUT don't be too enthusiastic
over the prospects for agree
ment at the Loudon naval confer-r-nce.
This conference will be domi
nated by the diplomats, and all
down through the world's history
diplomats have had very little use
for common sense. They prefer
diplomacy, and, broadly speaking,
the fruit of diplomacy is war.
AT THE last session of the Ore-
gon legislature, according to
figures just compiled at Salem, 28
stenographers were employed in

If you are of a cynical turn, sou

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, noted
Kansas edltsr, says: "Adver

saticfied with what they have and
wish for better things; and so the
race Is greatly benefited."

ness, make more employment and
create greater prosperity.
T SOUNDS absurd, at first, and
all the other peoples of the earth

GAIN NOTED
ROSEBURG
POPULATION
15 Per Cent Increase Since
Census of 1920 Despite
Terminal Transfer -by
S. P. Road.
Total, Figured From Data
on Schools, Far Above
5,000; City Has Few
Empty Houses.
Roseburg's population has shown
a very substantial gain during the
past ten years, despite adverse cir
cumstances, chief of which was the
removal of the Southern Pacific
railroad terminal. On a basis of
school census, which is considered
one of the most accurate means of
checking growth, the city popula
tion has increased nearly 15 per
cent during 10 years. In 1920 the
school census was 1.396 in the
Roseburg district, while this year
the total was 1,591, according to
the tabulation just completed at
the office of Mrs. Edith Ackert,
county school superintendent.
In 1920 the city's population, giv
en by the government census of
that year, was 4.3JU, which, it was
generally conceded, was at least
1.000 below the actual number of
residents. However, even on that
basis, Hoseburg's population Is now
well over 5.000.
Few Empty Houses
General conditions in the city
point to a population as lacge as at
any time in the city s history, de
spite the losses that h'ave occurred
in the past, as the housing situation
is a good barometer of the situa
tion, and at present there are very
few empty residences.
The school census for the entire
county shows a gain of IS per cent,
having increased from 6061 In 1920
to R7H9 In 1930.
The school gain has been about
equally divided between the cities
and the rural communities. The
eairi for the entire countv linn been
IS per cent, while for the IS prin
cipal towns or settlements where
high schools are maintained, the
Increase has been 19 per cent.

communities of the county, as com
plied by Mrs. Lillian Davis, clerk

Cancer Tissue
Killing Serum
Is Discovered
(Attncliilnl Piv ImmhI Win-)
SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 21. Dis
covery by two San Francisco sur
geons of what they called a "can
cer killing serum" was disclosed
today when It became known that
medical agencies of the University
of California had decided to co
operate in further experiments
with the substance.
I'he originators. Hi. Walter Ber
nard Coffey, chief surgeon of the
Southern Pacific hospital here,
and Dr. John D. Humher, his col
league, specified that the serum
was not to he regarded as a can
cer cure but asserted that it was
able to kill cancerous tissues. Ir.
Coffey said It produced "striking
results In one case.
Dr. Karl Meyer, director of the
Hooper foundation of the Universi
ty of California, described the dis
covery as "the most notable ad
vance made In the field of cancer
research" and ns being "of the ut
most possible importance."
Dr. John (Jallwey. prominent
Sail Francisco surgeon, said the
serum had "proved Itself potent in
killing malignant tissues. but
that at this stage ft would be Inad
visable to hail It as a cancer cure.
The serum is derived from the
outer layer of the adrenal glands
of sheep and was asserted by its
discoverers to have the power,
when injected into I he human
body, of "destroying the tissues of
the malignant areas."
