B—10 CANCERRESEARH ADVANCE CLAWED Diseased Tissues Are Found to Make Lactic Acid of Glucose. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 20.—One stumbling block to a likely lead in seeking the causes of cancer was re- ported cleared up yesterday in the | American Journal of Cancer. | This lead was the peculiar use cancers make of sugar. Cancer tissues produce fromglucose large amounts of lactic acid, one of the body's fa- tigue chemicals. The discovery of this fact some years ago was greeted as a hopeful sign. But its follow-up was blocked, because no extract from cancer was found capable of producing lactic acid. Discovery Is Announced. Discovery of a method to do that is announced in today’s Journal by Fred- erick H. Scharles, M. Dwight Baker and William T. Salter of the Collis P. Huntington Memorial Hospital, Har- vard University. The lactic acid is produced when an extract of mouse cancer known as mouse sarcom 180 is mixed with hex- osphosphates. “The finding of lactic acid produc- tion from hexophosphates,” the report states, “presents an opporunity to study in detail the type of carbohy- drate metabolism peculiar to tumor.” | Animal Cancers Cured. | Cure of a few animal cancers by such things as making the animals go thirsty, by filling them with fluids and | by high protein diets was reported in today’s Journal by M. J. Shear of the United States Public Health Service, These treatments and numerous others disturbed the “fluid exchange” | throughout the animal's body. It was tried on about 2.000 mice which had cancer. Mostly the treatments failed, but in a few cases the cancers disap- peared completely. Why, is not known.

Following complaints from auto- | mobile associations and individuals against the actions of some of the men who solicit motorists to have their | parked cars cleaned, police yesterday | arrested Clarence Dendy, 27, colored, 927 Fourth street, when his auto- | mobile-cleaning paraphernalia was found on the sidewalk in the 1300 block of H street. Dendy forfeited $5 collateral on a charge of occupying public space for private purposes. Police said that in one instance a | motorist who refused a soliciting cleaner later found the windshield of his car smeared with tar. WAGE LAW INTERPRETED| Prevailing Level Schedule to Af- fect Roads and Sewers. i Corporation Counsel E. Barrett | Prettyman yesterday forwarded to the Commissioners an opinion holding | that the amendment to the Bacon- | Davis prevailing wage law must be applied to highway and sewer projects &s well as to building construction. | This was an interpretation of the addition of the phrase “other public works” in addition to building con- struction for which contracts are let by the District government. Scales of wages for the additional classes of work must be predetermined. The amendment is effective September 30. .

Reinach, 204year-old French- man, has abandoned his plan to establish an American nobility through the sale of titles for prices ranging from $200.000 to $1,000,- 000. He gave up the idea when he received only 20 replies to letters mailed throughout the country. Some of them came from persons he had not approached, he said, and others wanted to bargain for a cheaper rate of payment for titles ranging from baron to duke. —A. P. Photo, VIOLATION SUSPENDS RETAIL BEER LICENSE Policeman Buys Bottle, Drinks Contents in Rear Room, Brings Charges. ‘The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board yesterday made the first use of its new power to suspend licenses for violation of its rules. It notified Daisy Kogok, 1219 Good Hope road, that her retail beer busi- ness must be suspended from Septem- ber 19 to 26, inclusive, on a finding that an employe sold a bottle of beer to a customer and allowed him to go to a rear room to drink it there, al- though she had only an off-sale li- cense. The customer was Policeman Frank A. Jordan. Complaints about drink- ing of beer at the off-sale place pre- viously had been made to the board, it was said. Formerly the board had authority | only to revoke licenses or prosecute offenders in Police Court. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, Ja P.W. A. FUNDS URGED FOR COURT BUILDING 50 Civic Groups Called Upon By Board of Trade to Ask Money Advance. More than 50 civic organizations and service clubs of the city have been called on by the Washington Board of Trade to ask the Public Works Administration to advance funds to the District for construction of the court group of the Municipal Center. Congress has granted authority to the District to obtain the money, which would require a loan from the P. W. A, and the architectural plans for the Municipal, Police and Juvenile Courts and the recorded of deeds office have been approved by the Fine Arts Commission and the Park and Planning Commission. John Saul president of *the board, and Arthur B. Heaton, chairman of the Public and Private Buildings Com- mittes, have sent a joint letter to the organizations that may be interested, urging them to make the project a major activity and asking them ¢o act promptly in contacting Secretary Ickes, P. W. A. chief. “The courts we have,” Heaton's let- ter said, “are entirely inadequate in every particular and would be a dis- grace to any city, much less the Capi- tal of the Nation.” “SNAPPER” A dapper new tie, perfect accent for Fall tailleurs, equally smart for afternoons. makes your foot The rounded toe look inches smaller; the grosgrain bow is pert and saucy. brown.
