Eureka's does. It fills from the top. The dirt drops to the bottom of the bag, out of the way. And that old suction just keeps pass- ing free and clear.

RODGERSON, M.D. Q. What do we know about cancer of the uterus? A. We do not know the cause, or causes, but we do know that: — Promiscuous sexual rein - tions are a factor. — Early age and increased frequency of sexual relation* have some significance. — Early age for pregnancy may be important. — Irregular bleeding and discharge may be signs -of cancer. — Women of all ages at* susceptible to cancer of dif- ferent types. — An early diagnosis usual- ly means acure. — Cancerof the cervix (the part of the uterus that extends into the vagina is the most common pelvic cancer. — The Pap smear helps rule out cancer of the cervix. — The endometrial biopsy (a scraping of tissue from the lining of the uterus), or a cu. rettage, helps rule out cancer of the body of the uterus. — Cancer of the cervix oc- curs most often 'in women of the child-bearing years. — Cancer of the endometri- um occurs most often near and after the menopause. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity are of- ten associated with cancer of the endometrium. Cancer Is cured, or con- trolled, by surgery, irradia- tion, and chemical means. — The number of children a woman has seems to make no difference in the development of cancer. — Estrogens have not been. shown to cause uterine can- cer. Q Are IQ's affected by birth -control pills? / mean, are babies born of mothers who took birth -control pills before their pregnancies just asinn ant t not? A. A. recent report from Puerto fico whew the ., 't control pills were first .fid, from 1101 on,.tella of emu*. nations of chin born to mothers who took the first. pills. These 5-8 year aids had the same test result,* $3 ami- lar children born to motben who " took no b rib cotitt'ol pills. Therefore, it would seam that the eggs in the ovaries were unaffecteid in an intelligence -measuring way, by the artificial hormones in the pills. Q. Will an alcoholic mother have a normal baby? A. It appears to be definite that there is an increase in congenital anomalies -- like growth deficiencies, small heads, heart defects, • joint problems — in alcoholic mothers as compared with nonalcoholic mothers. 'Aka - hot is, after all, a drug and one which can pass through the placenta (the attachment be- twe'en mother and baby) and affect the baby. An addition- al difficulty in the railingof these children is that those brought up by alcoholic moth- ers do not do as well as those brought up by nonalcoholic. One could get into the ques- tion of why mothers are alco- holic in the first place. Do they have more deficiencies, congenital anomalies, etc., and are less able to cope with the. world? They turn to alco- hol for escape? Or what? We can at least say, that the child, if born normal, is more likely to be neglected if the mother is alcoholic. TQOTHBR'1JSH STUDY More than 65 per cent of American citizens . use a toothbrush less than six months before replacing it, according to a survey per- ' formed by the Bureau of Den- . tal Health Education. — CNS CHILD'S PLAY Cardboard makes wall plaques " By BUROKER & HUNTSJNGER An outstanding pair of wall plaques can be made out of corrugated cardboard, paint, sharp scissors, and a little time, patience, and imagina- tion. Black and white, of course, create the sharl est color con- trast, but any two bright ,shades can be used for this distinctive room decorator. Two sheets of identical size and colored construction pa- per along with two sheets of corrugated paper are needed. The latter is cardboard which has been made with parallel ridges and furrows, usefulfor packing protection when ship- - ping boxes. Gift or china shops and de- partment stores may be happy to give you white cor- rugated sheets which have guarded their breakables from the factory. If the or- dinary brown kind is used, however, it can be painted or sprayed any desired color. Begin by cutting two picture frames both the same size such as the nine by six inches used in the examples in the accompanying illustration. Make one frame of the corru- gated, the other of the plain constauction paper. Now glue a three -quarter - inch - wide mat onto this frame so only a narrow edge remains show- ing. Reverse the papers used for these mats. The background of the de- sign comes next, made four by seven inches. And this, again, involves using a re- versal of the papers. Besides contrast, etch of these layers add a depth to the -finished plaque *hick will have almost a thredimensional effect. The final layer of papers to be glued on are two freehand abstract cutout designs. They -- can be traced to be identical in appearance or they can be slightly varied for additional interest, as desired. The im- portant thing, however, is to make one from. the construc- tion paper, the other of corru- gated paper. Although extremely simple, the results will be a modern design with stark simplicity. The results will suggest a far more difficult process than what is actually involved. i One thing about these plaques is the way they will offer ample proof of that popular saying: "Opposites do attract." VERSATILE --Corrugated contrasting cutouts show how versatile cardboard can come. be. • b• oor*. SAP �a! bgp� may low . to mentoteetured et plasm in the future ti* Gen.

I have a 'new and beautiful home but I chose the wrong carpet. The furniture is in golds, orange and browns and looks blah with the white and celery greeln shag carpeting. Cathedral ceilings are with open beams and all walls are - white. What . new decor in furniture would help or what could I do to salvage what I have? I am contemplating an off-white couch and splashing colorful pillows and wall de- cor as well as accent chairs. What color shall I splash and what color for draperies? — B. T. A. Instead of doing a solid off-white couch, hew about n bright green and white for the couch in either a small stripe or a diamond pattern? Then use a bold print of the same bright green and white with shades of orange, brown and gold. This print could be used on a pair of accent chairs and matching draperies. If you had another single chain you were redbing you could select a gold or brown for that. You could use orange and gold for accents in pillows, mirror and picture frames and plant con- tainers. If you wanted even; - more color you could do a wood chest in a bright green. Q. What can be done when you only want some advice and professional counseling about interiors and yet do not want to purchase anything through—a decorator, which I've been told is how they make their profit? We have a problem divider which we would like to change but do not know what would look bet- ter. Also, I would like some advice on remodelling our kitchen so that it would be Avery special set for that verb special moment more efficient. I would be glad to pay on an hourly basis just to have someone give the some, ideas about decorating. Whom does one contact for such services? — D.G.W. A. There are sone designers who do this and you should be able to find anskwho will work on an hourly basis.
