The contestants this morning went to the Washington Auditorium, where they tested their voices. It was the first time the four foreign orators had been in the big hall and they made the most of their opportunity to famil- arize themselves with the auditorium’s acoustics.

The Canadian Soclety will give a luncheon in their honor at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the University Club, at which time Dr. E. N. C. Barnes, -president of the society, will be official host.

Mrs, William Wolff-Smith, a member of the league, spoke of the interna- tional amity and closer understanding brought about by the meeting in such competitions of the youth of various nations.

By the Associated Press. * NEW YORK, October 10.—Of a 50 per cent increase in human cancer, indicated by mortality statistics gath- ered from reliable sources, approxi- mately 30 per cent represents tual increase and the remainder an apparent but not actual increase, Maj. James F. Coupal, official White House physician,declares in the current issue of the Amer- ican Journal of Surgery. Curiously enough, the writer says, the efficacy of preventive medicine against disease of YOung Maj, Cowpsl. L ult lite probably has resulted in bringing more individ- uals safely to the “cancer age,” be: yond 40 ars, when they. succumb easily. part of the apparent in. crease in cancer mortality Maj. Coupal ascribes to greater accuracy of diag- nosis which has come in the past decade. Thé writer quotes other authorities, however, as viewing the increase, real or-apparéent, with corsiderable alarm and declaring that preventive meas- ures run far behind the growing toll of cancer. Maj. Coupal points out that of all types of cancer in accessible sites, only that of the breast has not shown a mortality decrease in the past 15 years and that, with the advance of knowledge in the fields of surgery, Roentgen ray and radium, the coming five years may be expected to bring a decline in this type of cancer also. Determination of the absolute in- crease of cancer is difficult, Maj. Coupal declares, but he agrees with other students that of the G0 per cent apparent increase, 30 per cent is a result of more accurate diagnosis, 10 per cent the result of a greater num- ber of indlviduals reaching the cancer age with no organic susceptibikty to cancer, and the remaining 10 per cent, he says, probably is due to a larger number of individuals reaching the later decades of life with tissue defects which raise their chances of having cancer. The net actual increase in the disease he sets at 35 per cent. Maj. Coupal’s article makes the sug- gestion that statisticlans of varicus fields, whose findings he quotes, pool their interest in cancer statistics so that true figures for .the actual in- crease of cancer might be made avail- abie. Until such effort is made, he feels, true statistics will not be available. . o Must Be a Swill Place.

By the Associated PARIS, Octobes —The Lindbergh medal and others struck by the French mint in commemoration of Franco-American events were placed by the French government, along with many documents and relics, in the corner stone of the new ‘“American seventieth anniversary of the founding of the institution. Sheldon Whitehcuse, charge d'affaires at the American embassy, and many noted figures attended the ceremonies. The new structure, which wlll cost about $500,000, is a sixteenth century Gothic style edifice, The church is on | the Qual a'Orsay, close to the In- valides on the Seine, and the base- ment had to be specially waterproofed to prevent seepage from the river. The American Church is the oldest American institution in Paris except the embassy. It is undenominational and was founded in 1857 by Rev. Edward N, Kirk of Boston. Napoleon III permitted the erection of the original church building, but, fearing propaganda or international friction, forbade the church ever to have sermons in French, an injunction which_has always been observed. It was Dr. Thomas Evans, American dentist for Napoleon III, later famous for smuggling the Empress Eugenie out of Paris in a closed carriage on her flight to England, who enabled the original church to get permission for its services. .
