E mAGE Si DOCTORS REJECT CANCER THEORY English Surgeon's Reason for Increase is Not Accepted Glasgow.--Lecturing on "Medi- zine and Crime" before the mem- bers of the Alchemists' Club of Glasgow University, Dr. R. AM. Bronte, the pathologist. advanced new ideas with regard to the province and duties of the expert witness. Dr. Bronte holds that a wedical witness, no matter what his emi- nence, should content himself with giving the cause of death. He denied that a doctor was more gualified than anyone else to re- construct the manner in which a crime was committed, and said: "In my opinion his evidence should be confined, with rare ex- ceptions, to his' post-mortem find- ings. Take, for instance, the dist- ance at which a firearm is dis- charged. i One often reads of a swearing to so many feet I ask you on what scientific facts does he base this evidence?

Sinclair, had a re- markable escape from inury or | death tonight when the Chief's | light roadster crashed into the rear of the new ladder truck at Dundas und Adelaide Streets. The ' heavy guy pole projecting from the rear of the truck plerced through the engine and hood on the Chief's car and entered the rear of the driver's seat directly be- tween Chief Jenner and Sinclair. The ladder truck had stopped at Adelaide Street, between a street car and the curb, The Chief's car was following immedi- ately behind and when the brakes were applied the car skid- ded 'heavily iuto the rear of the truck. The pavement was ex- tremely slippery at the time owing to the slight drizzle that was fall- inp. Chief Jenner's car was demol- | ished. Neither man was cut by glass, although the windshield was splintere by the impact. Two of the ladders on the truck were broken. The accident occurred at 9.30 o'clock while the department was answering a box alarm at Dundas and Eva Streets. The call prov- ed to be a false alarm, as did an- {other call to Talbot Street and the C.N.R. tracks. BRITISH AIRMAN London, Ont. | BIRTH CONTROL THREAT TO RAGE Declared More Serious Men- ace Than Disease or Plague New York, Feb. 23.--Birth con- trol is a more serious threat to the human race than disease or plague and might practically wipe it out in 100 years, in the belief of Profes- sor ~James W. Mavor, biologist at | Union College, Schenectady, N.Y. "We do not always realize how vital for the species is its rate of reproduction," the biologist said in an article published in the North American Review. "If, and the thing is by no means impossible, not occur, the social disorganiza- tion due to lack of workers might induce a returm to ocnditions simi- lar to those preceding of civilization."

Sometimes they reached the counter to be told that all of the goods of the kind they desired had been sold. Several instances have been reported where the co-operatives ceased selling altogether to the public although continuing to sup- ply small rations to their mem- bers. This situation, recalling the days of a famine, has been attributed primarily to the grain shortage. The resignation of Alexander Pet- rovitch Symrnoff, Commissar for Agriculture, because of failure | to manage the grain storing cam- paign which fell 2,000,000 toms short of the previous year despite the increased harvest, was re- ported Monday. A slight improvement in the grain situation has been attributed partly to the recemt visit of Jo- seph Stalin to Siberia where he issued new imstructions to the officials there in the hope of persuading the peasant farmers to send their grain to the mark- ets.
