LANCER IS CAUSED INMICE BY S0oT : Lungs of 8 Per Cent of Ro- dents Exposed Affected, Conductors of Test Say. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 23.—Coal smoke soot caused cancer of the lungs in an experiment with mice re- ported yesterday in the American Journal of Cancer by M. G. Seelig, M. D, and E. L. Bengius, A. B, of » the Bernard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital, St. Louis. “Eight per cent of the mice exposed for a long time to soot, they stated, developed carcinoma of the lung, in contrast to only 2 per cent of mice not exposed to soot but nevertheless showing lung cancer. “A greater incidence of cancer of the lungs occurs among human beings living in cities,” the report says, “than among those living in the » gountry. “While it is impossible offhand to establish a direct casual relationship between smoke and soot and cancer ©of the lung in man census statistics are suggestive enough to stimulate further studies of the subject.” AIR SAFETY STRESSED A second inquiry into methods of | promoting safety in air travel was an- | nounced yesterday by Chairman Cope- land of the Senate Commerce Com- mittee. First hearings will be held | . early in October, he said. Returning from a month's inspec- tion of European airlines and flying facllities, Senator Copeland declared | America is “lagging behind in safety developments.” “An aggressive national policy is hecessary,” he said, “if we are to keep | abreast of our foreign competitors.” o CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.
