The feeling of tension gave place to one of confidence. Gunmen were disarmed, special petrols ~dis- banded, barricades removed from the streets, and barbed wire taken down. Thousands of refugees who had flock- 2d into the city to escape the Japanese pd7ance began to wend their way home, Many of these were heartened |" by reports that the authorities intend- od to remit the land tax for a period in the districts affected by. the opera- tions, as well as affording relief in pther directions. B WAR VS.HOLIDAYS. ~ | Every year large numbers' of Chi- nese and foreign residents spénd their summer holiday: at Peitaih side resort between Tientsin and fhanhaikwan, where the Great Wall ends. This year jt seemed for a time 'as if they must 88 elsewhere for their annual vacation, Peitaiho was twice brought within the area of operations 'as a result of the Japanese advance from the Great Wall. In addition to the uncertainty as: regards communi- cations, there was danger from strag- glers turned baadit, Thanks to the truce, however, conditions wt Peitaiho { 'Without waiting the Japanese withdrawal to the free from the threats of war. SERVICE AS USUAL. Even since the Japanese seizure of 8-anhaikwan, at the beginning of the year, creditable work has been done dy the railroad authorities in main- taining services. under extremely diffi- cult conditions, Trains have been run almost to the zone of warfare, the line being shortened or extended daily as the area of operations advanced or "yeceded., Besides heavy movements of troops through Tientsin, the railroad authorities have carried thousands of = pefugees streaming to safety. Apart from unavoidable delays, usually not 'more than a few hours, they kept the ~- pervices fully running. PROSPECTS GOOD. ~~ 'Pientsin continues to develop stead- "fly. - Permits for new buildings in the British area where most of the Am: ericans also reside, doubled in value last year, and this total has been al- most equalled in the first few months of the current year. Not only are the finances of the area in excellent con- -._dition, it is disclosed, but prospects sre held out for furthui- developments 'In public services, notably buildings, toads and bridges. The area has been __yemarkably free from crime, the offi- RY 7) ® eal report states. No kidnapping oc- ¢urred in 1932, but in January, 1933, # child disappeared in the concession. The police, with the co-operation of the neighboring areas and the Chinese eity police, were successful not only in restoring the child, but in capturing the whole gang of kidnappers. . PRECEDENT SET. A friendly gesture marked the ob- pervances of King George V's birth- day in flown the Japarese flag in honor of imperial Japanese occasions. This year the Japanese authorities returned the ¢ompliment. The hoisting of the Un- fon. Jack over the municipal offices was the first time any foreign flag had been displayed over any Japanese pub- Jie building in Tientsin. 'The preced- ent having been set, it is hoped that per on the special occasions of friend- ly foreign powers. ---- War of Newspapers = Unabated in London London.--All agreements having been swept aside, the circulation war between The Herald, The Daily Ex- ress, The News Chronicle and The Daily Mail, is proceeding unabated. The {ree-gift scheme to entice readers has now gone beyond the sixteen-volume sets of Dickens and tlothing, to include cameras, cutlery, 'electric irons and tea sets. ; The Financial News put the total cost above £2,000,000 a year, and asks: "Why should the shareholders be cannon fodder in this purposeless battle between Chinese Generals, The opulence of the competing newspapers eannot stand the strain indefinitely." "Although The Daily Express hoisted its net sales to 2,054,848 copies 'daily, The Herald to more than 2,- 000,000 and The Daily Mail to about 1,760,000, the combined circulation of all morning issues is still short by peveral millions of the' combined Issues of the Sunday newspapers. "It is claimed, therefore, that the|. war has resulted in the enlistment of a large number of genuine recruits to the army of daily newspaper buyers. "The Economist writes: _ | « "The four months of expansion represents broadly either an extensive population hitherto unaccustomed to reading a morning newspaper or, 'alterhatively the successful persua- ston of three-quarters of a million readers to buy more than one paper a to grace the breakfast table or light en fi re.

Latest Finds In Science World New Cancer Research-- Tests With Sheep Give Hope * of Progress With Plague The news published last week to the effect that two coal-tar derivatives have been discovered which invariab- ly produce cancer is not news at all to specialists. One of these deriva tives is known as 132:516 dibeganth: tacene, It was discovered by Drs, Cook and Kennaway of London: The other is 1:2 benzpyrene and resulted from researches, also «concluded in England, by Drs." Cook, Hewett and Hilgér, ; ; "All this work was the natural de- velopment of ~ the fact, long well 'known, that petroleum, lubricating oil and tar produce cancer. by repeated irritation. The next step was to find what it was in petroleum that had so terrible an effect. As a result biology and medicine are the richer for the isolation of its irritants, Dr. Thomas Lumsden, who figured prominently in the recent news, is one of the most distinguished of Brit- ish authorities on cancer. For years he has been working at the Lister In- stitute, trying to immunize the organ- ism - against cancer, Transplanted cancer tissue confers a certain immu: | nity to animals, which he attributes to the acquisition of an anti-malig- nant factor in their blood. His con- clusions are--bagsed on the discovery that the blood serum of the immuniz- ed animal will injure -cultures used Ttor transplanting but not cutures trom normal tissues. ) For the last eight years Dr. Lunms- den has been experimenting in accor- dance with this theory with a serum derived from sheep. Cancer cells were injected into a sheep, From the ser- um drawn off, a particular protein, called euglobulin, was precipitated. Promising results were obtained with thig- euglobulin when it was injected into a tumor or into the veins of ani: mals inoculated with.a strain of trans. planted tumor. Whereupon it ---was decided to proceed with the:treatment {of twenty-five human cancer -patients. With commendable caution Dr. Lum. sden declines as yet to recommend his procedure 'to the medical profes: sion. The world will watch the course of the disease in the twenty-five ex- perimental humans with interest and with some skepticism, It is probable enough that the use of a heterogen- eous serum, like that obtained from a sheep, may contain a protein that checks the development of a cancer- Sheep serum has a well known growth-arresting effect, The best that can be said for Dr. Lunmsden's procedure is that it is an interesting phase of cancer research, but that it must still prove its worth. Too many vaunted treatments which have finally proved to be ineffective have been based on the inoculation ot proteins foreign to the human system. It will probably take years of clinical experience to decide definitely wheth- er or not Dr. Lumsden has discovered something highly important, House Air-Conditioning. More and more articles on air-con- ditioning appear in the engineering press--a sign that the day is not far distant when, however sultry the wea- ther may be in the street, & 'man may do his work indoors in comfort. That the apparatus for conditioning is in existence is evident enough when we enter a motion-picture house or one of the newest traing, It we are not yet able to manufacture our home climates to order, it Is part- ly because of our houses. They were built for furnaces and not for washed and cooled air. . "Close that door," we shout when December roars without. Can we im- agine ourselves shouting the same injunction at the height of a humid day when training and Instinct tell us to throw open every window?

The home plant must be designed to chill and dry a definite number of cubic feet of air an hour and to Inject that air into kitgheng, bedrooms and living rooms, not in a gale, but in an im, percepfible zephyr. If windows and doors are open the plant is futilely trying to cool all outdoors. 'Moisture in the Air, Air must contain a minimum of moisture. On a cold day water drips from the windows, The glass is cold and the air warm. the air may eontain is condensed, to trickle down and form little puddles. In 'an air-conditioned house in sum- mer it is the same. The air within is cooler than the air without, Win- dbw panes are slightly chilled, Again the glass acts_as a condenser, and again we see water trickling down, How is this difficulty to be over- come? Charles F, Kettering, who has been experimenting with air-condition- ing in his Dayton home for- twenty years, would have us dispense with windows entirely, Electric light is cheaper than daylight it we reckon the cost of window gass and its main- tenance and especially of the heat absorbed by it in winter. If we must have windows, Kettering tells us, let them be mere double portholes--two panes 'with an insulating air-space be- tween, ; Walls and Windows. - It Is doubtful if house-owners will deny themselves the privileges of look- ing out upon the street, Probably the air-conditioned residence of the very near future will have double walls and double windows. The cost of such an insulated home will be high, but there will be a notable saving in fuel bills, Fuel in summer to keep cool? The notion must seem strange to those who use coal and gas for cooking dur- ing the hot weather and who throw open windows and doors. Let us sub- stitute energy for fuel in our think- ing. It takes energy to Sort home, just as it takes energy 'to make ice cubes in the kitchen refrigerator. Air must be codled. somehow, The usual process in the refrigerator Is to com- press it, absorb the heat from it by some such artificial refrigerant as ammonia or ethyl chloride and then tet it expand. So we must have a motor to do the compressing. Be- sides, there must be some way of controlling "the .moisture--removing the excess when the air is too moist and adding a little when it is too dary. Td ha Requirements for Future. ' Just how a domestic air-condition- ing plant is to do the work expect: ed of it and meet the requirements of a householder is not yet clear. Walter I: Fleisher, an. engineerer who has specialized in this field, indicates in The Technology Review what will be summarily rejected. Evaporating pans, cast-iron radiators, unsightly fan-housings, bulky enclosures, unit coolers that stand idle in winter, any system .that requires water and drain connections and refrigerating pipes anywhere except in some central out- of-the-way .place in the basement or cellar will have no place in the home. Moreover, the cost of operation must be low--no more than the present cost of heating a house in winter, Thus stated, it looks as if the prob- lem of domestic air-conditioning were hopeless. Let us not forget that the kitchen mechanical refrigerator seem- ed just as unpromising twenty-five years ago. Most engineers saw little prospect then of designing and build- ing an apparatus that needed no care, iv it is with household air-condition ng. insoluble, but that the engineer is call ed upon to cope with an entirely new set of conditions.

It is estimated that this tilting is increas- ing and that it will take the earth somewhat more than 24,000 years 10 turn completely over, thus bringing a new glacial age. ; This turning, slight as it is, is be licved by some to cause a crustal movement resulting in these carth slips. The earth continually settles to adjust itself to the new conditions. No section of tlie earth is immune. Prolescor Chase S. Osborn, author and geologist, says the turning "over of the carth is the only way carth- quakes can be adequately accounted for. } Regarding the possibility of Japan and the Philippines sliding into the Pacific, the Meteorological Observa- tory at Tokio has reported 5,207, an increase of 1,472 earthquakes record- ed at the same spot in 1024. . -- Tyne Shipbuilding Industry Picks Up London.--Shipbuilding, which has for long been the sorriest of all indus- tries, ts demonstrably on the mend on the northeast coast. clude three train ferries for gervice on the English Channel between Dunkirk and Dover.
