More plausible is the sugges- tion that it. all began in France. The French were the first Chris- tian nation to start the New Year on Jai-wary let instead of Meech 25th... Before the change, New Yeer merry-making ended with a bumper feast on April 1st. On that day gifts were exchanged. When January 1st became New Year's Day the French were loath to- lose their April festival. so a mock feast was held on the first. day of that month. Joke gifts were exchanged.. To-day, April 1st in France is called the feast of "poisson. d'Av- ill," which means a young fish, or April fish, easily caught. The French exchange small chocolate fish on All Fools' Day. Many people think the Feast of tomfoolery is connected with the encient, Hindu Feast of Huli. This is celebrated on March 31st, when H:ndus send unsuspecting people on phony errande. But. theologians say that April 1st was • the beginning of a mediaeval- month of prayer for the feeble-, minded, That clay was also the one day in the Middle Ages when the harmlessly insane were al-- lowed out of their, cages.

WARREN II. COLE Professor of Surgery, University of Illinois College of Medicine (Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn.) FASHION HINT Perhaps all we have to do is find out how nature did it in these 11`9cases The most frequent spontaneous regressions occur in nerve tissue tumors * called neuroblastoma. Next to leukemia, this "is the commonest kind of cancer in youngsters. If children can live with these tumors 14 months or longer, they seated almost a one- in-three chande of having a spon- taneous regression. It may be' that the hormone changes of early childhood enhance resis- tance. The most common spontaneous regressions in adults occur in cancers, of the kidney, of the chorion (a bit of 'the fetal cov- ering which is left in the womb following delivery) and in mela- noma, or "black cancer," of the skin and other tissues. Spontaneous remissions axe also recorded for cancers of the breast, bladder, bone, uterus, col- on, rectum, stomach, - ovary, lymphatic tissue, thyroid, lung and a few other sites. Sometimes, following removal or even partial removal of the original tumor, cancer colonies throughout the body disappear. It is as though the original tumor produces something which ties the hands of the body's im- munity machinery. Or as though the body's defenses against the rapidly growing cancer are over- whelmed until the original tu- mor is done away with. In some cases, the cancer dis- appears following an acute infec- trieonnsews.hich in some manner mob- ilizes all the body's natural de- On the 'basis of these observa- tions, we felt that if the body's defenses could be helped along by artificial means, they might be able to overcome cancer.

CHICAGO, Ill,— (NEA) — A few doctors have witnessed and reported the most awesome and mysterious event in medical practice—a spontaneous regres- sion of cancer, In spontaneous regression, a patient with cancer, which some- times has spread beyond medi- cine's ability to cure or control it, suddenly will become comple- tely well. All evidence of cancer will disappear. The patient may live many years without recur- rence of the cancer and die of an -entirely unrelated cause. Most, however, have a recur- rence after menths or years of good health. Dr. Tilden C. Everson and I have spent five years studying the world medical literature. corresponding with scientists and doctors arid reviewing the slides to make certain each case was indeed cancer. We have verified to our sat- !erection 119 cases of spontane- ous regression since the year 1900. Considering the millions who have died of cancer during that time, 119 cases are not very many, No patient should depend or. 'or hope for spontaneous, regres- sion to cure h,is cancer. Nevertheless, that this pre- nomenon—or miracle, if yoti will —takes place at all pereuades us that new and effective methods of curing cancer are possible. al surgery, while the other half were given conventional surgery plus a cancer-killing drug, nitr- ogen mustard, during and fol- lowing their operation. Now, five years after starting the procedure, we find that less than half as many patients have died in the group given surgery plus the drug as in the group of patients who were given surgery only. It may be that surgery and drugs get rid of most of the cancer, and the body's defenses are able to do the rest of the job. We do not know yet how many more patients actually haye been cured by this method that by surgery alone. Even better results have been achieved on breast cancer using surgery plus another drug called TSPA or Thio-Tepa. A report at last year's annual meeting of the American College of Surgeons said: "At present there is a strong indication that . Thio-Tepa significantly decreases the prob- ability of recurrence. Of the pre- menopausal patients who had re- ceived this therapy, 95 per cent showed no recurrence 26 months postoperatively, compared with 46 per cent for the controls. Cancer-free rates for postmen- nopausal patients are 89 per cent for those receiving the drug, compared with 66 per cent for the controls." If these results continue to stand up, the combination of drugs plus surgery may reduce substantially the number of wo- men (now about 23,000 a year in the United States) who die of breast cancer. Comparable results have not been achieved so far in cancers of any other Site. Back around the turn of the century, Dr. W. B. Coley report- ed that a sizable number of can- cer patients who developed ery- sipelas (a severe and clangorous Inflammatory infection) h rt shown dramatic spontaneous re- missions of their cancers, Erysipelas is almost extinct in the United States. But for many years scientists have been isolat- ing various toxic fractions of bacteria and testing them for anti-cancer effect on laboratory a nirnals, In one laboratory, one bacteri- al toxin has cured about one- third of mice with transplanted cancers, hut curative doses have to be high,, and for every mouse cured another mouse dies of drug toxicity, Bacterial toxins during the. last decade have been treed cam tiously on a few cancer patients, They do not care humeri cancer. In a few cases they have given a pissing remission. Strong'dosest are risky;. Scientists have tried—and so far in vain—to separate the poi- sonous components from the therapeutic parts of the toxine, Perhaps 'the toxic and the ther- apeutic fractions are the same, Nevertheless', in a. growing number of research centers, scientists are seeking to learn. the secrets ostpeetetateous rem is- rich.

Cancer veeehisel Her Whipped Cream Was The Real Thing I never read or hear the words "whipped cream" without think- ing of Grandmother, for these words are closely associated, with her in my memory. Grand- mother used whipped cream with a generous hand, and con- sidered it fit for almost all des- serts. The cream she used was none of this vapid stuff that is squeezed out of a container, nor was it like the uncreamlike sub- stance that passes for whipping cream in supermarkets. Grandmother used no such substitutes, but „hers was the rich, thick cream from a herd of well-fed, sleek Jerseys, The cream had a tendency to change color with the seasons. In spring and summer when the cows grazed on fresh green grass and clover, it was thick and as yel- low as gold. When the cows' fodder was hay from the fra- grant haymow, the cream she whipped up was as white as the snow in a new snowdrift. I can see Grandmother now, egg beater in hand, whipping the cream in her large blue bowl on the work table in the pantry, The whipped cream in the bowl grew and grew till it resembled: a fleecy, white cloud against a blue sky, and was thick enough to cut with a knife, writes Melba Baehr in the Christian Science Monitor. Under the whipped cream one was likely to discover fruits filled red Jell-O, a pudding plump with dates or raisins, 'or' a fruit salad of bananas, apples, peaches, and grapes. Perhaps the whipped cream concealed a piece of feather-light white cake, or one of Grandmother's good esingerbreads, or there could be several scoops of homemade ice cream under the heap of whip- ped cream. One just never knew what the cream hid. And in season there was straw- berry shorteake, rich. enough to melt in one's mouth, almost hid under the crimson, juicy betties. Naturally, one was certain to' find whipped cream, great quee- tities of it, spooned over the shortcake from the blue bowl, i miss the whipped cream that Grandfather used with such a lavish hand for her deeeerts.

I was served buttermilk chiffon pie, writes Eleanor Rich. ey Johnston in the Christian Science Monitor, The chef cut his recipe down to one that makes 3 pies. Checking through about 10 standard cookbooks, I find that none of them gives a buttermilk pie recipe, so you may went this for something entirely different from other pies you serve, As you may well imagine, chefs perform a great favour when cutting a recipe down to small amounts, This one gives ounces for several ingredients., but it will not be difficult to figure ounces of sugar into cups, for instance: 8 ounces equals 1 cup,.
