When the Coin is deposited a six foot Long Arm rises to let the car enter. When the car leaves it drives Over a treadle which make the Gate go up. Automatic counters Are attache to the Coin Box and the treadle. They did t jibe. More cars were going Over the treadle than paid to get in. Winkelried s firm figures Small cars either were driving under the Gate or darting in behind paying cars before the Gate came Down again. So the firm suspended a Cha Nunder the Gate about 10 Days ago and seeded up the time it takes to close after a Coin is  cars still Are sneaking in.

New York up a scientist thoroughly investigated the lung histories of 8g persons with can cers of that Organ and picked up some new information on the disease which controversy has Iven a special notoriety particularly among cig Aret smokers. Or. Walter Finke of Rochester,n.y., found that 77 per cent of the 86 had had severe influenza or pneumonia at least once sometimes their Remote pasts and 65 per cent had had severe bronchitis More or less continuously for years. These results Bear on two arguments now current in science. Oneis whether cancer arises in lung tissue which has not been severely damaged by previous but non can Cerous disease. The other is whether the great world wide influenza epidemic of 1918-1920 could be responsible perhaps Only impart for the remarkable increase in lung cancers since then. Pulmonary cripples that epidemic damaged lungs Onan unprecedented mass scale and made countless thousands of Pul monary  the great majority of Finke s lung cancer vic Tims had had their major bout with noncancerous lung disease i that epidemic. Finke s findings do not apply directly to the argument Over whether cig Aret smoking is a cause of lung cancer since he did t investigate the smoking histories of his subjects. If cig Aret smoking does play a part however that part probably would be a bigger one in damaged lung tissue thanin healthy tissue according to his results. Picked 100 cases he began with 100 lung cancer cases taken at random in a big general Hospital. The previous ill Nesses involving the lungs could be traced in 86. His documentation was based largely on Hospital rec ords of the i Evious illnesses Andin Many cases there were old x Ray pictures showing the damage inflicted by noncancerous disease.
