ISLANDS CHOSEN IN CANCER WORK Stady of Dreaded Disease to b it London, - Jan, 27 M—An effort to track down the cause of cancer, just as the causes of malaria and yellow fever were trailed to their begin- nings, is to be made on the Isle of Man and Isle of Wight. _ The investigation 1n the two isles is an outcome of the belief of Dr. Louis S8ambon in the existence of “cancer houses,” ‘“cancer streets” and “cancer villages." Dr. 8ambon, who is known as an | expert in tropical diseases, malaria, vellow fever and cancer, says that no pesearch stations or hospitals will be set up in the islands. “l am convinced,” the doctor de- x clares, “that cancer will yleld up ita secret to a method of investiga- tion which cannot be carried out cither by Harley street (the great London center for doctors) or in a great metropolitan hospital, “We must do in this case as we have done before for tropical dis- cases — track them down to the places where they occur and where they are not likely to be compli- cated with other diseases. “We must study the whole nat- ural history of a location. In the; case of malaria, we know that the virus is carried by a mosquito, and the natural habitat of the mosquito in its earlier stages is water. “If we had not made a careful investigation of the water in the Campagna our natural history utudy' would have been incomplote, and |° our discovery of the sccret of the disease would not have been made. “Cancer may have some specific cause—no one knows—but the ca Las, nv doubt, many factors. P haps it has carriers. If only we find the carriers we shall have dis- | 4 £ | digease, SOUNDS CAUSE OF GOLOR SENdATruNy Tests Show Many Persons hre Boulder, Colo., Jan. 27— | Sounds have corresponding colors | for approxtmately two per cent of | mankind, says Lawrenco W.

This AUTOS LOOK LIKE NEW1 Wood- lustre “In 1873, Dr. Cole relates, “a young philologist reported to the medical aociety of Vieana oertain peculiar self-observations. He and his oldest brother had, since their carliaat youth, connected & definite color sensation with every normal tone sensation. “If a tone was sounded on the or- gan he gave that tone always the same color sensation whether he was able to recognize the tone cor- rectly or not. In childhood these colors were so vivid and surprising that on hearing a tone, he often broke out in raptures, not over the beauty of the tone but because of the secondary .eit color sensation, and thus he orought ridicule upon himself from his parents and broth- ers and sisters. “A Vienna allenist thought he was mentally unsound and warned him to be caraful, Now we know that there are many similar cases. “A little boy of three years and eleven months, who was listening to the phonograpn sald: ‘Daddy, I think soft music is yellow.’ “‘And what color is loud music? asked his father. *“Well, it is black.’ “A great many of the reports which I have collected give definite colors for human voices and for proper names, It has been sug- gested that we all have this ca- pacity for feeling one sensation shudder at the sound of a file drawn over the edge of a plece of gal- vanized iron, “In this case one sensation does arouse another out {s fundamental. ly different from synaesthsia or colored hearing, though it scrves to ! make clear ths meaning of tle| terms. “The person who coined the slang phrase, ‘a dark brown taste’ must surely have been a synaestbetic, as these persons are called, for «ne of my reports gives a headache as green, a stomachache as brown. This person feared to report he- ex- periences because she thought t©.m al. When this fear is re- most two per cent of every in psychology will report aring or some similar arousal of one sensation "y an-| other.” Foxestt;l_ife_lus Reveal Age of Wooden Objects Stockholm, Jan. 27 (P—A Ewe- dish forester, Ake Berg, has done his bit for science by finding a way lo determine the age of wooden jocts unecarthed by archeolo- ..ms His method is based on the obgervation that the year-rings of to- local climatic conditions and that this variation is absolutely uni- form in different trees in the same neighborhood.
