Anti -PrchibiLion Group Says
Washington is Supplied
With Speakeasies.
An assertion that Washington, D.
C., is as much a rebel against the
Eighteenth anmend ment as t h e
youthful colonies were revolution-
ists against George III, was made
by the Crusaders, mifitant anti-
prohibition organization, in a re-
pore issued yesterday following the
results of an investigation into the
liquor situation of the Capital in
which it was revealed that 11,671
warrants for speakeasy arests were
made last year.
The report states that although
Washington police were' unwilling
to cooperate with the organization,
a map of the city showing the loca-
tion of the various places where
liquor raids were made was drawn
in which are a number of interest-
ing revelations.
"Four ofthe more unfortunate
Speakeasies of 1931 were within, one
block of W. C. T. U. headquarters,"
the report 5ays. "About 20 were
situated within two blocks of po-
lice dcpartment headquarters and
six were within two blocks of the
Anti-saloon league headquarters."
Others were listed as being within
hailing distance of the Prohibition
bureau, Veteran's bureau and with-
in two blocks of the WhitQ -louse.
"The number of speakeasies raid-
ed." the paper goes on to say, "are
thre times the number of licensed
saloons before- the, Volstead act."
Further statistics revealed ii the
report show that 63 per cent were
in the better districts of Washing-
ton.
The report, along with the map
which was drawn up by the organ-
ization, has been forwarded to all
local Crusader battalions and is be-
ing publicized th oughout the cun-
try.
On account of the government
pay roll, other large pay rolls in the
Capitol, and the large building pro-
gram, Washington, D. C., is the
least affected of any United States
city by the present depression.

a fever country, was made during
the rainy season, and Dr. Ruthven
spent several years recovering from
severe malarial attacks. Then, while
driving to Utah one summer with
his younger son, his car was struck
by a bolt of lightning. Neither
father nor son were injured but
according to ill reports the elder
Ruthven established a new automo-
bile speed record immediately fol-
lowing the c r a s h, disregarding

strike twice in the same place."
The President's chief hobby con-
sists of collecting old literature on
the subject of natural history. He
has gathered together more than
65,000 volumes; many of them rare
autographed copies, others fi r s t
editions, valuable because of their
scarcity.
"The unfortunate aspect of this
hobby," the President once stated,
"is that you reach a stage where
the copies you most desire ar very
rare and very expensive. And your
family begins to kickabout sacri-
ficing their food and clothing for
the sake of your books."
President Ruthven is a Fellow of
the American. Association for the
Advancement of Science and the
American Academy of Arts and Sci-
ences, and a member of the Ameri-
can Society of Naturalists, the So-
ciety of American Zoologists, the
American Society of Ichthyologists
and Herpetologists, (pr esid en t,
1928), the London Zoological So-
cicty, the Michigan Academy of
Science, (president, 1913-15), and
many others. Last year he was ad-
mitted to the American Philosophi-
cal Society, an organization which
has included in its membership 12
presidents of the United States.
Now that he is an administrator,
President Ruthven is kept busy
travelling about the country in the
interests of the University. One
week will find him meeting with
some society or other in the East.
The following week he might be de
livering an address before the stu-
dents of some western college.
But wherever he is or, whatever
he may be doing, there is one per-
iod which finds him back in Anil
Arbor. The first two Wednesdays
of each Monday he plays host to
the students of Michigan at Mich'-
gan's "White House." There, with
Mrs. Ruthven (she is the first "first
lady" of the Universty who has
graduated at Michigan) he serves
tea and cakes to the group of stu-
dents who gather to look over his
collections, inspect the living-room,
dining-room, and library of a, uni-
versity president, and- finger the
rare volumes found therein. Re-
turning a week, a month, or even a
'year later, students find that their
President has not forgotten them
and is able to address them by their
correct names.

As a result of the use of x-rayI
and radium, there will be a greatI
reduiction of the cancer death rate
in the near future, according to Dr.
Harold W. Jacox, who spoke yester-
day afternoon over the University
broadcasting station on "Modern
Use of X-Rays and Radium in the
Treatment of Cancer."
"We should not be too enthusias-
tic about present results," saidDr.
Jacox, "for it is still in its early
stage of development, and much
improvement may reasonably be
expected in the future. The limita-
tions, on the other hand, must be
fully ,understood and rigidly re-
spected."
Soon after the discovery of radi-
um, -it was used as a cure-all in
medicines, continued Dr. Jacox. It
was soon learned, however, that
there were only a few definite con-
ditions for which it has a very defi-
nite use.
Due to improper treatment, the
use of radium fell into ill-repute at
first. Later, however, treatment
methods were developed which were
more or less certain of success, and
a' the same,-time avoiding serious
'injuries.
Within the last few years great i
advances have been made in the
use of radium, and we now have an
international unit of dosage, stated
Dr. Jacox. Thus we have a greater)
chance of duplicating good results
throughout the world.
'X-rays and radium are danger-
ous double-edged instruments," he
continued, "which may do untold
harm or great good. People are
often found who resort to the in-
discriminate and irregular use of
these agents."
In discussing cancer, Dr. Jacox
said that it is not a contagious or
catching disease. Neither is it a
blood disease or something of which
to be ashamed. If situated where it
can be eradicated at an early stage,
the disease can be cured.
"In the opinion of most physi-
cians cancer itself is not heredi-
tary," he said, "although it is' prob-
able that a certain predisposition or
susceptibility to cancer can be in-
herited. This does not signify that
because one's parents or relatives
have suffered from cancer, it will
necessarily appear in other persons
of the same succeeding generation."

Ann Arbor Art Association
Purchase Water Color
With Hunl Fund.
to
At a recent meeting of the Ann
Arbor Art Association, it was decid-'
ed to purchase, a water; color by
Professori Myropn B. Chapin, of the
College of Architecture as a memo-
rial to Miss Alice Hunt, the first
and for many years the only repre-
sentatiVe of art on the Michigan
faculty.
MissyHunt left a small sum of1
money to the University for the1
purchase of art pieces. Until this
year the money -has remained in
the bank untouched, with the in-
terest accumulating each year. The
money has been used for the pur-
chase of Professor Chapin's water
color "Willows." The picture was
painted at Provincetown, Mass., in
the summer of 1930. It will be hung
in Alumni Memorial hall and will
be known as the Alice Hunt memo-
rial.
