In one act, 250 of the horses appear simultancously, occupying the five rings of the circus. There are 43 elephants in the produc tion. A monster sca elephant, Goliath, said to be the only one of its kind ever cap tured alive, is being exhibited in a huge tank. His keeper advises the public that Goliath consumes 400 pounds of fish daily. Yasso, the huge East Indian | elephant, who carries his trainer, Gunga, about the hippodrome track in his mouth, is another attraction and big in a circus.” The Wallendas, a troupe of German | acrobats, perform three high on a slen- der strand ot wire 50 feet above the | ground, with no net below them.

PRYSICIANS INTILT - OVER CANGER CURE | Debate on Necessity for Op- { | eration to Remove Uicers Marks Meeting. | Dispute over the relation between chronic ulcer of the stomach and can- | cer of the stomach arose this morning at a meeting of the Cancer Prevention Society at the Raleigh Hotel, following a paper by Dr. William C. MacCarty, director of the cancer research work of the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., and Dr. A. S. Warthin of the medical school of the University of Michigan. Dr. MacCarty said that extensive clinical practice had convinced him that the border line between chronic ulcers of the stomach and cancer was very slim and urged physicians to advise explor- atory surgical operations by surgeons familiar with gastric surgery. Dr. Warthin objected on the ground | that the relation between gastric ulcers and cancers has been shown to be very slight and cancer h-rsoh become more and more a genetic pi m, din; ::nmuy studies of natmy.-dmugl the danger of the .gastric ulcer operation, he said, “advising it to pre- | vent cancer is almost criminal.” { { Gives Research Result. One student of this problem, he said, | had found that less than one per cent | of gastric ulcers become cancers, and | his own experience showed the per- centage as only a little higher. He has seen several cases of operations for .|@astric ulcers which could have been cured without operation, he said. Dr. MacCarty replied that his experi- | ence was not with fixed tissue such as is studied in the laboratory, but with | clinical material, and has convinced him that the only way to find out whether many patients are suffering from tric ulcers or cancer is to cut into them and see. “No pathologist,” he said, “has a right to make such a statement as has been made about the lack of relation between gastric ulcer and cancer without com- {ing out and seeing what we can do. | have spent 21 years studying gastric ulcers and I say frankly that the re- lationship is close. It is not fair to say that the operation is extremely danger- ous. In fact, the mortality rate is very low. Of course it is necessary to have | a surgeon who understands gastric| | ulcers.” | A fund of $500,000 is being raised for | the study of otosclerosis, or progressive deafness, it was announced at the meet- ing of the American Otological Soclety held in the Raleigh ballroom this morn- ing. Of this $200.000 already has been | obtained and $100,000 more promised | conditionally, it was announced by Dr. | Arthur B. Duel of New York City.

Seven Hours for Trip. The flying time between St. Louls and Washington is estimated at about | seven hours.- When the wheels of the | Spirit of St. Louis come to rest on Washington soil for the first time, a little less than 500 hours in the air | will have been recorded for the plane | and engine. Col. Lindbergh declared in{ St. Louis last night that the ship “is in practically perfect condition mechan- ically,” adding that it “has been inspect- | ed a number of times and nothing materially wrong was found. The ship, which has flown slightly | more than 40,000 miles under the hand | of its_famous pilot in a score of coun- | tries $F fts year of existence. carried | Lindbergh through his epoch-making New York-to-Paris flight, a tour of the United States and Canada, and the goodwill flight to South America. Millions of people, craning to catch a | | glimpse of its flashing silver wings, have thrilled to the sound of its motor, know- ing that it was part of a matchless ombination that has written air history. Its fame caught the fancy of young and old alike, and thousands of miniature coples were built which found place on the mantels of homes, in show windows, and many public places.
