One Eleanor
And Another
BY Rita Kelley

BOYD Thompson was putting in his
second day at the ST. Louis exposition.
Even though he had seen the wonders
Of two continents since leaving college,
he was little awcd, even oppressed,
by the very tremendous amount OF in
genuity and beauty spread before him.
He stopped at the end of the Grand
basin and, pushing back his straw hat
from his handsome dark face, drew out
his tobacco pouch and carefully rolled
q cigarette. The air was sizzling The
sun beat down on the immensity of
white buildings and Sparkled madden
ingly in the folds of the cascade and
the ripples In the wake of the Condo
las as they darted to and fro. He was
telling himself that all this was too
much for one man to see alone. He
blew out 4 wreath of smoke and look
ed diSinterestedly ut the passing
thr0ng. Yes, if he did not run across
some one he knew before night he was
going to pull out for home.
He strolled toward the main entrance
and stopped to admire an extremely
pretty girl in cool green linen standing
by one of the pillars of the Liberal
Arts building.
by Jovc"' he said as lie made a
wide dctour behind her and came
around at the other side. II know that
girl. Hang it. What's her name?"
He walked slowly past her again
She was absorbed in Il scrutiny Of the
Triulnpha! cauSeway. How refresh
ingly cool she was in that green dress
Her hair cleaned gold in the sun. That
was just the trouble--her hair! If it
were only brown. Boyd ran over the
names of all the blondS he had known.
Bertha Semplc Caroline French? Bah!
They had been fat and pudgy.
lie doubled on his steps and strolled
back nonchalantIy, his hands thrust
deep in his pockets. But wasn't she Il
princess. He tried to smooth out the
puckcr in his brow and look pleasant.
Hang it all. She was as much alone as
he was, and she would be gone In n
moment. His mind raced frantically
among the girls of two continents in
search Of the missing name
''If she just had brown hair. now,"
he said, staring ut her unmStakably
gold curls. Suddenly he realized that
lie was standing stock still and the
brown eyes of the girl in the green
dress had swept from the TrumDhal
causcway and were looking into his
with i'll concealed amusement. Instant
ly his face cleared. He swept off his
hat with charming bow and went to-

Gen. Ortiz did not insist upon his SO
doing, but he protested in writing
against the presence OF the Americans
In Colombian waters. Lieut.. PerrNl
accepted the protest and conveyed 1t
to Commander Turner, who handed 1t
to Rear Admiral Coghlan on his ar.
rival here.
During the conference with the Co
lombians ashore Lieut.. Perrill was
surrounded by Gen. Ortiz stan, while
inland a few PAGES there was a semi
circle of armed sentinels. The beach
in both directions was also lined by
sentinels. Gen. Ortiz did not permit
Lieut.. Perrill to leave the point of the
beach where he landed. While Perrill
was awaiting the Colombian protest
I.glf Edward b.. Manwaring,
commanding the marine guard of the

purpose of communicating with Lieut..
Perrill and to gain certain military in.

ashore and the cutter Joined the
whaleboat off the beach.
Lieut.. Perrill returned To the At

Lieut.. Manwaring, before returning.
pulled I'm the cutter along the coast,
observing the Colombians' camp.

How
Electricity
Promises
to Cure
Cancer.

! think that to him who makes the
~C'ScoNery OF a cure for cancer a
statue should he erected in every CAPT.
tai of the world" SO wrote King Ed.
ward of England. in 1901, and doubt
less now Emperor William of Ger
many would add his hearty second to
this statement. The royal households
OF both countries have been thrown
into fear that the head might be dis
covered to be afflicted with that dis
case.
And 1t may be that some scientist
Will come forward before long as a
Just claimant for this statue.
Since 1892 hundreds of earnest and
devoted men have been giving their
lives to a study of the disease in the
hope that this study may bring forth
the cure. Up to the present time they
have mo- succeeded, despite the fact
tina many thousands of cases have
been dealt with. BY the use of cleo
iricity, however, il Is hoped to accom-.
Dlish in the next few years what the
last two centuries have not been able
to do.
With grim persistency the doctors
work at their experiments, not dis
mayed by failure, and electricity o
plays a prominent part in the work Of
alleviating suffering from the disease.
The history of the electrical treat
ment of cancer dates back but a short
time.
1t was found that for various skin
diseases, such as ringworm, ulcers
and lupus, the Y rays were highly
beneficial, so 1t was determined to
conduct a long series of experiments
with not only the y rays but the Fin
sen light, and a high frequency vol
tage Of 10000 as well.
These are now in progress. In
discreet announcements have cruelty
raised false hopes in the hearts of
the dying ere now, SO too much must
not be expected from the July report
Of the canoe research committee.
The eminent specialists concerned
have strained every nerve to get re.
suits.
But in an official report is found one
hopeful sentence: mo honest re-
search can be carried out for long
without the securing of some new
knowledge"
The laboratories are under the direc.
ton Of Alex. Foulerton, +. II. G. S.,
and are equipped with the latest mar.
wells of electrical science.
During the high frequency treatment
the patient sits in an ordinary chair
and . glass tube is held to the affected
part by the physician. The glass tube
is the medium by which 100000 volts

The patient does not finch, but from
the smile Of satisfaction on the doc
tors face it is evident that the X
rays are doing good work.
Quite recently a cablegram from
Australia announced the glad tidinga
that a case OF lancer In Queensland
had been cured by the use of molasses
Whether this report is true or moi
remains to be proved. However, the
Middlesex hospital authorities, who
are the pioneers OF lancer research
in Great Britain. have accepted the
offer Of some molasses for expert
mental purposes.

Blue-white teeth denote weak mental
