Many Physicians Are Wrona.
Until a few months ago a popular
cancer theory was the German notion
that cells belonging TO say the liver,
are born In, let us say, the tongue,
and remain dormant until irritated
some time after the middle age, when
they take on an excessive, uncontro.-
able growth. Other theories are that
yeast cells, animal parasites, or ultra
microscopic germs, serve as "excit-
ers' to the body cells, and cause them
to multiply abnormally.
Late in 1911, Johns Hopkins uni

working under grant OF the Harvard
cancer commission. discovered BY
forcing the fluid OF cancer cells
through porcelain filter. under high
pressure, that the cell-free LIQUID,
when inoculated into chickens. would
reproduce chicken cancer. The i'm
portance OF this cannot be underesti-
mated. IL simply means that the idea
held by most physicians, that can
Ger cannot originate without starting
from other cells, Is wrong.
Whatever causes cancer then, is
ultra miscroscopic and passes through
filter, and need have no cells.
Prof. Smith, who is regarded in tie
scientific world as strongly conserva-
tive, intends soon TO publish in a gov
eminent bulletin the following prop
ositions about cancer:
There is something in the cell

or irritated spots.

A tiny parasite growing on daisies

gals. The resemblance of this bit
OF mould to tumors is so striking

In Germany they are called ''keebs,"

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Although in Paris the separate blouse
is hardly recognized this fall except fol
wear with the morning tailored suit, the
variety of models shown over here is in
finite and the beauty of them greatly
one here illustrated is typical of theil
novelty and charm.
A blue chiffon cloth was used in the
original. with white fox for trimming
band and white chiffon cloth for the
frills. The sleeves, which are made very
long-rather longer, In fact. than the
arm, SO that they drop a bit between
the shoulder and elbow, yet fit very
closely from the elbOw-are cut with the
body portion.
The fronts are cut diagonal-wise, and
the material gathered in such way
along the lower edge that the diagonal
line becomes a graceful curve. The
gathers are held in place and the gather
string covered by the banding Of narrow
fox. The frill, started just below the
throat, is continued around the curve,
the fur. More of the chiffon frilling
finishes the neck, with the fur employed
as heading.
The small buttons Of clouded blue en-
amel that are run alongside the frill In
front and up from the back of the sleeve
from its frill at the wrist add not little
to the finished effect of this very desir-
able blouse model. It is equally suita-
BILE for crepe de chine or any Of the other
soft silks, as chiffon, or, If transparency
is preferred, it could be made a more
dressy little affair by being lined with a
gold silver or cotton net.
Tiny brass or cut steel buttons are
much used upon the more formal blOuses,
but the buttons should be very plain. In
fact, very fancy buttons should oe used
only with the greatest discrimination, else
they have more Of tendency to detract
than add to the elegance of the blouse
they are designed to adorn. 1t is rather
the symmetry of the button arrangement
and the accent it gives to the general
scheme, rather than the beauty Of the
buttons themselves, upon which the de-

One frequently hears the remark.
There is another trick in that hand, "

trick would have meant winning the
game, but very often the game is won

minor Importance Il could have got

winner, and passes 1t over.
II the player saw another trick IN
the hand the question naturally arises,
why did he not take it? The only an
swer is that he did not see it until It
was too late. because there is no possi-

The trick that might have been won
but was not, but made no difference,
is nevertheless trick lost. 1t is still a

VALUABLE HINTS
FOR THE HOSTESS

Why do some people hesitate about
entertaining just because they cannot do
1t as elaborate.y as their friends or
neighbors? The sensible woman who has
accepted dinner invitations, but who per-
haps cannot manage to give a similar
dinner, can do her entertaining with little
Sunday night suppers.
In many homes the Sunday night sup
per is the company event of the week.
The hostess and guests enjoy it thorough
ly, as the preparat tions have not been in
tricate or tiresome, and the hostess is
not in worried and nervous frame of
mind. For a Sunday supper the table
can be just as attractive and the menu
just as tempting as for a course dinner.
Sunday Night Suppe1s.
Eight O'Clock is popular hour to serve
it. The maid usually arranges the table
before going out, though frequently the
hostess sees to it herself. Pretty mono
grained lunch cloths and napkins or
filet lace runners with matching doi.ies
are the thing for informal suppers. Glass
coasters can be used as a protection for
the polished table. In place Of flowers
there may be used, as a centerpiece, a
large bowl of nuts or silver t. ay with
pretty arrangement of fruits, which
often are the only dessert served.
