Purpo.se of Cancer Week
About ten years ago a few men and
organized themselves into a | oo
society to teach the plain facts about
cancer; for it was clear that many , M
cases of this disease could be cured if **•*
the ignorance and indifference with * ^
which it was commonly regarded in its j ;
early stages could be dispelled.
This society which began in a small ! 4I
way is now one of the largest and » »♦
most influential public health agencies 1 **
in the world and its educational cam
paign has reached a large part of the |
population of the United States. Each
year as: a part of its work the society **
initiaes, through the state chairman
and a series of county chairmen, an
educational campaign to spread the
knowledge of the dangers, the pre
vention and the treatment of cancer.
Dr. Louis Fligman, member of the
State Board of Health, is chairman
for Montana, and Dr. H. D. Bonenss,
Director Child Welfare Division, State
Board of Health, is assistant chairman

The population of Montana by the 1
1920 census was 548,899. This makes
the Montana death rate from cancer];
for 1922, 61.5 per 100,000.
This is a marked advance over the
1920 rate but the figures must be
terpreted cautiously. With the great
ly increased knowledge of the disease,
better means of diagnosis, etc., it
probably means merely that we are
discovering a larger percentage of the
existing cases than ever before. It
should also remind us that with all
these newer and better methods of
diagnosis we should be getting cases
earlier and in time to effect a cure.

Engdahl And Two Others
Arrested at Anti-Fascisti
Meeting at Cicero, Ill.
Louis J. Engdahl of Chicago, editor
of The Worker, and two other speak
Anti-Fascisti meeting in
Cicero, Ill., on Oct. 11, were arrested
charge of disorderly conduct,
according to a communication reach
ing the American Civil Liberties Union
from the Anti-Fascisti Alliance of
North America. The others taken
with Engdahl are Ignazio Camarda
and Mario Giordano, both of them ac
tive in Italian-American labor circles.
This was the second meeting in
three weeks to be broken up by the
police. A rally to protest against the
activities of Mussolini agents here
called for September 27 was prohibit
ed. The one on Oct. 11 was permitted
after a promise had been exacted by
the police that the American govern
ment'would not be mentioned in any
connection.
Another gathering to test the right
of free speech will be called with the
American Civil Liberties Union par
ticipating. Engdahl was arrsted after
he declared that the workers should
organize strongly in their unions in or
der to establish eventually a workers'
and farmers' republic.

study of world timber conditions
shows that the world's requirements
of sawtimber will double within the
next fifty years if the rate of increase
during the past few years is main
tained. Moreover, as the rate of tim
ber growth is equal to only two-thirds
of the amount of wood consumed, the
total supply is continually shrinking.
"The most pressing forest problem
from a world standpoint is the neces

This can be done by using all,
of the forest land for the continuous

world's timberland, is so handled, the
rest being regarded as a mine val
