The Chicago Tumor Institute will be made possible through the philanthropy of a numer of the city’s’ wealthy citizens, and it will be directed by a distinguished committee of experts in various fields. Like similar institutes elsewhere, it will be de- voted to the one main purpose of fighting cancer. It is the belief of the Times that too many cancer institutes duplicate one another’s work, with the result that there is much threshing of old straw, taking time and money which might be devoted to more varied research and experiments. Therefore, it is suggested- that Chicago Tumor Institute, besides carrying out its own program, might perform a further great service by periodically call- ing together the heads of existing cancer institutes and inducing them to agree on projects which would not conflict with one another. Such cooperation should hasten the attainment of the long sought goal. sonable’ enough, as it is said that a news- ! paper.ma) clea? itself of liability if it re- tracts offending statements within a rea- | sonable time. But it appears that in a case which has recently arisen a retraction would only make matters worse. Commenting on the candidacy of F. D.

The editor seems willing to do the right thing, but‘ points out that retracting | would imply that the gentleman would not make an elegant dog-catcher; in other words, was not fit to be a dog-catcher. And the News admits that “there, _is...nothing whatever in the public record of this dis- tinguished citizen that would warrant such a condlusion.” ; So, at last report the News was stand- ing by its original statement, refusing to retract, and declaring “it will stand.a law- suit first.” A NEW CHAIRMAN Because of the contemplated expan- sion of the national defense program, the of Congressman Andrew Jackson May of Kentucky to the chair- manship of the military affairs committee | of the House is of more than passing in- | terest.

Field, re-| }tired attorney of Washington,-D. C., who is a guest with his broth- yer, M.A: Field, of Orange, Va. jat' the La Concha Hotel, Seven years ago, Field’s physician) told him to give up the practice of law and retire to a milder clim- ate. He came to Florida and vis- ited places on both the east and west coasts. He did not find what he wanted and went to San Diego, Calif. He liked it there and for the past seven years has made his home there. “Here, to my surprise, I find just the clim- tate I needed, and there is every reason to believe that I would now be a resicent of this city had I come and hed the proper offer- ing made to buy”. A contract was let teday by the county commissioners for the Painting of six signs 44 feet by 12 feet, advertising the Over-Sea Highway. With a tropical back- ground the-signs invite the trav- eler to drive over 125 miles: of | | sunlit islands. The signs are to be placed at Jacksonville, Day- tona, Palm Beaeh, Fort Piefce, Miami and Homesteail. The cham- ber will be asked. to have three more signs painted which will be placed at Tampa, Gainesville and St. Petersburg. Chairman Otto J. Kirchheiner says the commission- | ers are going to continue to ad- vertise the highway throughout the summer season, and arrange- ments have been made to have the Heffner-Vinson Theatrical | Company carry a banner adver-| tising the city, while the com- pany is touring the south this sea- son. A fog bank, probably what was/ left of the fog yesterday, caused | | the General Machado, of the Pan/| | American Airlines, to turn back | to Havana this morning, after the! | vessel was about two-thirds of | the way to Key West on the trip | back from Havana. When nearing | the island of Key West, the pilot saw the bank and rose to an alti- tude of 1200 feet. He was well above ‘the city, but then” faced the problem of locating the city. He turned the plané back to Ha- vana. f | Captain H. Bodden, of Miami, | former Key Wester, came in over the highway yesterday and is the} guest of his aunt, Mrs. Eugene! | Knight. Mr. Bodden is accompan-} tied by his wife.

Editorial comment: Key West is making an excellent start in the |right direction. The Woman's Club, Chamber of Commerce and a private corporation are all mov- ing to provide amusement for visitors to the city. Nothing else is more important now and noth- in¢ will contribute more to the | city’s popularity and growth.
