Smoking Said Declared to Be Cancer Cause By Alton Blakeslee PARIS, July n-fiiPV-Three teams of scientists today blamed smok ing, especially cigarets, for, ap parently causing part of the in crease in: lung cancer, the fastest growing type of cancer in the United States. Three reports, all by Americans, were made to the Fifth Interna tional: Cancer Research congress. They constituted probably the most authoritative discussion yet held on whether many years of habitu al smoking may cause cancer. By many years, the scientists meant at least 20. About 20,000 Americans die each year of lung cancer now. The number of new lung cancer cases in 1948 was nearly three times that of 1939, said Dr. Alton Ochs ner, president of the American Cancer society and director of the Ochsner clinic, New Orleans. The death rate in England is higher than In the United States. Smoking has been suspected of contributing to the steady rise of lung cancer in many countries. So have other things, such as gasoline fumes and city dusts. No single cause of human cancer has yet been discovered. Dr. Ochsner cited studies show ing that most men with lung can cer had smoked cigarets at least zu years, witn less lung cancer. among men who never smoked. Women are far less susceptible to lung cancer, Dr. Ochsner said. MTJRROW ENROUTE WEST SEATTLE, July 17-(ff-Edward k.

The odds are almost ten to one that you don't. Youll probably miss its actual worth by one or two thousand, according to the ex perience of real estate appraisers. In these days of shifting and in flated real estate values, it's not easy for an owner to know Just what his place Is worth. However, as a result of recent studies into the comparative values of new and old homes, : the Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator company has come up with a formula to aid househoulders in this respect. Here's their new homeowners' ap praisal yardstick: 1. Find your home's replacement cost (Check your contractor to learn cost of building a new home of same size and design). 2. Discount builders replace ment estimate by 15 percent (building costs may be expected to drop). 3. Deduct a depreciation figure based on yearly rate of two per cent (higher if your home is obso lete or in deteriorating neighbor hood;. 4. Add replacement cost of vari ous improvements you've added (those not ordinarily included in average, builders plans). 9. Add the value of the lot. De termine this by averaging the prices for similar lots in the neigh borhood which have sold recently. 6. Ascertain ' selling price for homes of same size, type and con dition at which they are actually sold, NOT their asking price). Av erage these prices and discount IS to 20 percent 7. Find average yearly rent for similar homes. Multiply by ten 'Customary rule of thumb formula among real estate men). S unite an average of the totals arrived at in steps 3, 6 and 7 and youll come reasonably close to what your house is worth. GIRL DROWNS .
