How long. Will lie . live? The answer. to these questions, of such vital interest to the ,.sufferer and his faintly, wore given in .a-considerationof 16 factors by Dr. Wyilliam C. Marcarty; ofthe Mayo Clinic, 'at the meeting Isere ;of the American Medical Ossociation. One of the most important factors is location of 'the growth. The more .gland that is attacked. the shorter the patient's life will be. If the cancer is so lecated that it produces pain or bleeding or obstruction 'in .the early stages, the better the patient's chances because he will' get early treatment. If the cancer grows inward on -an or ,gan the chance of recovery is' worse than if it grows, out from the organ.. If the heart and kidneys are function- ing efficiently the outlook is poor, Size et the growth, ageof the patient, loss of weight, durationofthe disease and the way in which the cancer cells act in the body all have\an leflueuce.on the patient's chance for recovery, liut the exact significance of these factors is not certain. Whon the cancer is on the breast, the outlook is good. This type of cau- cer Cart be permanently cured when it Is recognized and operated.: on in the early stages, Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan' of RushMedioal College, Chicago, said. Breast tumors occur it about three women out of every 100, he said. Of $00 women who came to a clinic during the year,com lalning of a tamer growth of the breast, only 200 women have a tumor. Half of. these women have a benign tumor and hall a malignant tumor. In malignant tumors the outlook is good If the disease has not spread to ad- joining parts of the body, such as the glands of the arm. X -Ra. 'Beneficial The use r? X-rays and radium after operation on cancer of the breast gives much better results` than the operation alone, Drs. Hugh P. Trout and C. H. reterson of Roanoke, Va., reported as a result of 20 years ex- perience in these cases. These phYsi-I clans were Impressed with the fact that cases of cancer are being seed earlier than ever before, and that therefore, results of treatment should bo better than ever, The public is notyet eufilciently aware of the need of early discovery and treatment, another speaker •on cancer, Dr. William H. Kramer of the tumor clinic, Jefferson Hospital, Phila- delphia, said. He declared that can - ser threatens the very foundations of civilization. In all tire' discussion of cancer by the country's leading ex- perts mi the subject, only radium, X-rays and surgery will lead and elec- tro surgery as adjuncts in special cases, were mentioned as treatments which could lead to cure of the dis- ease. The aver .ge patient does not yet realize that these are the proved methods of treatment. He has not sufficient faith in -the medical Profes- sion, and that is why patients by the thousands will follow fake cancer cures around the country, Dr. Kramer: said.

A patient may be without pain while resting, but on moving about he will develop such 1,315 or weakness that he can no longer Stand. Such a patient can be helped by being kept in a very hot bath, about 110 degrees Fahren- heit. The baths are repeated ,daily for two or more weeks and in many oases give permanent relief. For the child who has developed anaemia after a bout of whooping cough, rickets, bronchitis or similar weakening disease, injections of iron directly lino the lining of the abdom- inal cavity are beneficial, -Drs, Clifford and Grulee, 'of Chicago, reported. Treating, this secondary anaemia with iron has formerly bean a tedious pro cess, iron taken by mouth or injected into the arm or a vein does not re- generate the blood very quickly. The new method, which is supplemented by ultraviolet ray treatments, gave good results ona group of six youug children. They all gained weight and improvement was still in evidence eight months after the treatment. The method has no ' effect in primary anemia or pernicious anemia, Dr. Gru- lee emphasized.. Planes Have Far to Go? • Considering that the total output of passenger cars, trucks and taxicabs' in the United States for the first four months of 1930 was 1,446,590, it is, clear that the airplane has quite a dis- tance to ge before' it will have caught up" with the automobile.

Helpful Hints! It is a mistake to keep biscuits in the same tin with cakes. If placed to- gether, the former quickly become soft. It meat Is not to be used at once in hot weather, sprinkle a little pepper over it. This not only discouragers flies, but helps to conserve the juices. Mint will keep fresh for a consider- able time if it is washed in cold water in which a little carbonate of coda has been dissolved. Suet will not stick to the knife while chopping if a little ground rice has been sprinkled over it. ylrl5en frying foodstuffs care should be taken to 'avoid placing too much into the pan at one time, as this .de- creases the temperature of the fat. Add a few drops "of lemon juice to rice while It Is cooking. This not only whitens the rice, but separates the grains. Bacon will not .shrink while trying if it has been Clipped into dour. Plans are taking shape for the in- stitution of a regular air service be- tween Manchester and Blackpool, con- sisting of a daily trip that will take 40 minutes for a. journey that takes twice that time by the fastest trains at present. The existing round-trip fare for the Manchester -Blackpool trip is 413, but expectations are that thiswillbe reduced to aproximately £1 for the single journey, with the possibility of further reduction if Larger machines can be employed for the journeys.

That is the view which Herr Kron- fold, the Austrian gliding champion, expressed to a reporter recently when he discussed the possibilities of glid- ing in this country, "You have an !cleat country here" he said "and I am surprised that Great Britain has not taken 1t up more seriously. She became a great na- tion of seaman in the days of sailing ships. That gave her a sea sense which power -driven ships will never chine rarely acquires. ' e "I am sure that more thanhalf the aeroplane crashes could be avoided' if the pilots were trained first on glid-I ers..and then on soarers." Herr Kronfeld explained how In a glider one learnt to do a series of hops then 3n a more advanced type of craft one learnt to do "S" bends in the air. Finally in a high efficiency soarer, one was able to keep up al- most indefinitely while there was any wind.

The rseent owner had spent large sums of money on it and, amongst other things had erected a colossal bronze monu- ment of the old Northern godThor af- ter ter whom the island is called, and which cost twice as much as the teachers have paid for the whole' is- land, with .residence, ,outbuildings, museum and s., forth. The Copen- hagen Municipality has guaranteed the purchase sum. The purpose Is to turn this island into a holiday resort or "colony," as they call it in Denmark, for Copen- hagen school children, and for which, purpose it is simply ideal. Some more cows will have to -be added to the live stock, so that there will be milk enough for 'the children who are to spend their holidays there. There will be an "all theyear round" colony for children, and this section of the work will naturally en- tail regular teaching of the children. There is ample accommodation for the teachers. Tins is the first venture here in the matter of an "all the year round" colony for children needing care, and the innovation is being re- garded arded withmuch interest. The build-. lugs leave nothing to be de fired, being equipped with central heating and other modern instar'^tions and it is expected that 100 children can be re- ceived in the new home. • The island, which in the past has been much frequented by tourists, will remain open to the public throughout the year. Denmark is rich.` in islands along her extensive coasts; they num- her about 50 and 'Thorn Island now will become a children's sanctuary.

"May I have this to dress up with? I want to be a queen."' "Mercy no! Where did you find my Venetian lace bertha?" 'It was in a box on the closet self, and you don't wear it any more!" A quiver was appearing in Sylvia's chin. Mrs. Burnet was just putting on her hat, but she tookitoff, and going to the closet, carried the lace box to the bed. A pang of memory shot tbiough her. She could remember ber own mother geutly unwrapping the blue tissue paper covers, taking out a cbrie- tening robe and saying: "Three Syl- vias have been christened in this dress. See the lovely little puffs, and the lace .it is trimmed with is real Valenciennes." Now a fourth Sylvia had been christened in that same dress—leer own little Sylvia who was locking at her with tears of disap- poiutment. The laces in the box were scrambled by hurried little fingers, and on one wrapping was a black smudge. 'That's my fault," thought Mrs. Bur- net, "for not having taught her about these beautiful things." She unfolded the point lace wedding veil that lay inside and began to tell all she knew about the way it was made; how the peasants gathered great bundles of flax and soaked them is water until the thick jacket of the stem trotted away leaving the tiny tangle of white fibers beneath; how it was combed and then spun Into threads, and how the patient women sitting on their doorsteps in the sun worked away day after day, and some- times 3'ear after year, on the same pattern, putting in the flowers and tendrils and dainty traceries; how cer- tain families had been so noted for h their lace -malciug Y h that they had come to make lace only for the kings and queens and royal princesses. "Do the Indians make lace, Moth- er?" Sylvia asked. "Not if you mean the American in diens," her mother answered. "Some of the . tribes make embroidery, but they have never trade lace, at least, not until taught by white people. Some civilized nations have never made any of importance, either, but you and I would need to travel a good many miles it we visited every country buy. where the lace in this box was made.
