that she meant what she said.
"I thoroughly enjoy doing Greek
drama,", she stated, "not so much
for the drama itself as for the
pleasure one gets in appearing in
any great masterpiece. As long as
there are any, truly worthy plays,
it seems a- crime to waste time in
the ordinary ones which abound."
A flip of her voluminous brown
handbag sufficed for utter con-
demnation of Ordinary Plays.
Miss Yurka's eyes widened per-
ceptibly when the topic of Isben
was introduced, and her enthus-
iasm bordered on the unqueenly.
"I not only feel that he has writ-

GOVERNOR PLANS TRIP
Election Code, If Approved, to
Eliminate Presidential
Primary Next Year.
LANSING, May 25. --(')- Scores
of bills adopted by the legislature
awaited Governor Brucker's ap-
proval or rejection today.
He has asked for opinions from
the attorney general on a number
of the measures. Because the gov-
ernor plans to leave the last of the
week for French Lick to attend the
governor's conference and immedi-
ately afterwards will go on a tour
of the upper peninsula to last until
June 15, he is afxious to dispose.
of as many as.possible this Week.
Budget Heads List.
=.Alfhough the budget heads the
lies in importance, as, it forecast a
proprty tax of about $30,200,000,
as" compared with the governor's
hopes for a levy of about $27,000,000
mny other important piees of
legislation have been submitted. If
he signs an election code approved
by the legislature there will be no
presidential preference primary in
Michigan next spring.
The governor has the' mangled
Teagan bills, which started out' as
a rod license and emerged provid-
ing increased fees to be paid by
conservation director, said today
his department plans to alter pres-
ent trout fishing licenses to $1.75
may be charged instead of the
present $1 as soon as the governor
.igns the measure. It is presumed,
he will approve the bill because he
fayors increased revenues for con-
servation activities.
Whether the governor can cut
(the items in the financial bills ma-
terially was a question.
Oppose Revenue Measures.
While the prospective tax on
property is about what the goer-
nor would like, the legislature left
no doubt that it was opposed to
special revenue measures. The size
of the state tax will be determined
dially by the state administrative
board later in the year, but it will
have to be based upon the amount1
the 'budget calls for after the gov-
ernor has exercised hi, veto power.
SBy the time the board fixes the tax
there may be more definite infor-
matipn as to whether the malt tax
is to be attacked in the courts.

NEW YORK, May 25.-(A)-Or-
ganization of special cancer insti-
tutes, service and clinics through-
out the United States is advocated
in a report made public tonight by
the directors of the American So-
ciety for the Control of Cancer
General hospitals and universities
are asked to co-operate.
Claimed 100,000 Lives.
The reports says that cancer took
more than 100,000 lives in this
country in 1929, being exceeded on-
ly by heart disease as a principal
cause of death.
"The directors of the American
Society for the Control of Cancer
advocate the organization of spe-
cial cancer institutes and cancer
hospitals, where funds sufficient
for their maintenance can be ob-
tained from private or public sour-
ces," said the report. Where separ-
ate institutions of his nature are
not obtainable,' they recommend
the organization of special cancer
services and cancer clinics in ex-
isting general hospitals for the fol-
lowing reasons:
Outline Reasons.

now available for the early diag-
nosis and successful treatment of
cancer in its many situations con-
sist in trusting this responsibility
to a group of interested members
of the hospital staffs.
j 2. Such a service can be organ-
ized in almost every large gener-
al hospital at a minimum expense.
3. The group method of study of
cancer, as in so many other fields,
has already contributed materially
to the advance of knowledge and
has improved the results of treat-
ment of the disease.
4. Such a service for clinics has
also great educational value.
5. It. does not seem too much to
hope that the future development
of s u c h clinics throughout the
country may raise the standards of
treatment.

this can b' done economically and
