So. Dr. Frank R. Menne, patholo gist of the University of Oregon me dical school, told members of the Pacific Coast Surgical association here today as the group met for a series of clinical sessions and lec tures, and for demonstrations of the newest of the scalpel's art in special operations. Contrary to popular opinion. Dr. Menne said. Increase In cancer can be traced only indirectly to a civi lization whose newer ways have been blamed generally for the prevalence of the malady. Rather, he said, the improvement of diagnosis and the growing move ment of the public to consult phy sicians rather than to use quack cures, has given cancer what he de scribed as largely a "book" increase. "While there have been slight in creases," he said, "in not only can cer, heart disease, and a small per centage of Brighfs disease, the world probably is in Its safest period in history with relation to cancer." Dr. Menne said that some of the old cancer "cures" not only had no beneficial effect but in some instan ces caused tlie disease they were re puiea to cure. The newest discoveries of medi cine and surgery occupied the physi cians in today's session, the first of a four-day conference. Among the most interesting lectures was a dis cussion by Dr. H B. Myers, profes sor of pharmacology at the Oregon medical school, who dealt with stu dies of fungicidal growths. Discov eries in this field, he said, have led to the rehabilitation of many work ers, particularly those in canneries and in similar industries, who have become Inflicted by fungicidal infec. Hons. F ovum Contributions to this col umn must be confined to Soft words and slined by writer. To the Editor: The recent in vestigation of the sheriff's office has brought out some interesting facts. The mileage claims totaled 20,236 or 1593 miles more than the year 1932, at six cents per mile this would be $95.58. The sheriffs of fice seems to be a great deal more active in running down farm thefts than it has been for years. They got one gang of poultry thieves that had been operating on a large scale for a number of years, and if this one gang had not been stop ped, they alone would have cost , the farmers of this, and nearby ' counties, many times $05,58 or the extra mileage for the year. The farmer knows that he can get an officer when he needs one. The farmer has about the least po lice protection of any one and when a sheriff is willing to give him police service and investigate farm thefts he should not be discour aged. The amount saved on the board of one prisoner for 1933, as compared to the cost for 1932 would about make up the cost for the extra mileage. J. S. TURNBULL. Salem, Route 4, 2-20-34.

Today a bit of pantomime literally rocked" judge. Jury and spectatora. It followed a Ions; argument on tha word "vlsnomy" which even that Judge admitted was unknown to him. Baldwin Robinson, who had asked a witness to describe Miss Keith a vlsnomy. leaped for a dictionary and in so doing knocked over a water filled vase of almond blossoms.
