district and state. So much for the
past. For the future, I am anxious to
add to these ideals, that OF all club
women supporting the nationwide
campaign for economy, in dress, en-
tertaining, food and the planting Of
back yard gardens and children's gar
dens, turning ovdr of uncultivated sec
tions of land byfowners to government
to cultivate. Anything, in fact, that
will increase the food supply and con-
serve it after increasing 1t.
ITO this / would add the unqualified
support of all club organizations in the
government measures. both national
and state, for the state of war in which
our country finds itself today. One
thing more. I would like to assist in
any small way / can in putting our
state federation on a sound financial
basis, that no succeeding president
should have to work as hard as have
all our past state presidents to make
both ends meet in state federation mat
tiers. The reader may feel that I am
a very ambitious person with a very
high opinion of my own abilities. It is
not that so much as my belief In the
power and willingness of our club
women 10 nelp IN all THESE lines. No
one realizes more keenly than that
club women's opinions must first be
moulded by their study of the prob
lens presented, before they will either
lead or follow in a given direction.
ALSO, l relize that leader must
have learned to follow before he or
she can lead others. The next year
gives us all work in SO many direc-
tions and of so many kinds. that it
will be difficult to choose where to be-
gin and we can only stop when tired
nature calls a halt"

tors in the wreck on the Pennsy-
lvania Railroad at Mount Union,
early today, where 20 persons
were killed when a heavy fast
freight train crashed into the
rear end of the East bound Mer-
camille Express. Investigation OF
the accident was begun here by
railroad officials and the hearing
will be continued at Altoona, 43
miles from Mount Union. The
Passenger train had stopped to
discharge passengers when the
freight engine, with a heavy
string of cars behind it, suddenly
struck it. The impact split the
rear sleeping car almost in two

REAL DAUGHTER CT TIE SEA
Little Girl, Born on the Ocean, Goes

Which Father Is Captain.

Evelyn Hansen, only seven years

sen, captain Of the barkentine James
johnson, now loading, and is here
with her father and mother-and,
what's more, the barkentine isn't 60
ing to Australia without her-not a
bit of it.
Evelyn is truly a daughter Of the

do with this story. Born on the
high seas, she has spent over four
years on the water. She has Sweden
written all over her face and her
eyes and hair spell the same ccun-
try.
Evelyn knows ropes and spars; !;
knows which is the mizzen and which
is the foremast knows what a mud
hook is and respects and obeys the
captain, for is he not monarch Of all
he surveys when on the high seas?

Another Liner T0RPED0ED.
American Amcug Missing From Liner Torpedo
ed by Submarine eff Ira!and's Toast.

! Washington. Feb. 26.-The
sinking Of the big Cunarder La
coma. apparently without warn
/ ing and with 27 Americans or
board, loomed up tonight as the
most serious disregard of Ameri-
can representations since the
ruthless German submarins CAM
pdigu began. Government oftici.
ais here made no attempt tc
conceal their concern.
Consul Frost at Queenstown,
reported to the State Department
the sinking of the vessel and the
loss of one life, but up TO a late
hour tonight had not been able to
furnish details from survivors as
to whether it was an American
who met death.
He expected to obtain full in
formation from the 267 survivors
due at Queenstown at 11:3O
o'clock tonight.
Officials pointed GU: that v.1lle
final reports may show that no
American lives were lost, the fac
will remain that the 27 Americans
on board were illegally assaulted
on a peaceful mission and escap-
ed death only by good fortune.
The United States is concerned
in the sinking Of the Laconia
also because a large amount OF
official diplomatic mail had beer
entrusted to her after the Ameri :
can liner ST. Louis had cancelled
its sailing.
The State Department after
having had its mai! held on the
st, Lou!5 tor three weeks, had
transferred it TO the Laconia
whe1 1t was definitely annourS ed
tia. The 81 Louis not SAT- until it
secured %u1s.
IL tile absence of official con
tlrmation expected hourly from
Consul Frost, no official would
venture au-op;n:on on the out
come Of the sinking beyoud s.y-
ing 1lat ii would G,ravely com
plicate the already critical sitna-
ton with Germany.
Whether it may prove to be the
overt act will depend entirely
on the actual facts expected to-
morrow.

BUTTERFLIES NOT ALL SILENT
Certain Movements of Fragile Crea-
lures Produce Sounds-Chry ais
Known to Make Slight Noise.

One does not think Of butterflies
as making any sounds, nor of cater
pillars as noisy creatures, yet the
careful student will find some use for
his ears in observing the habits of
both.
Certain species of butterflies pro-
duce sound during certain move
p'epts. The ''whip" butterfly, when
surprised, makes a noise like the
snap Of lash, by opening and shut
ting its wings in quick succession.
Some alternating butterflies, when
disturbed, make a faint kissing
sound by slowly depressing and rails
ing their wings. The noise thus
produced resembles that made by
blowing slowly through closed teeth
Other sounds resemble the friction
Of sandpaper.
A large number of caterpillars
make sound by striking the head
against the leaf on which thoy are
resting or by swinging the h>7l from
side to side, catching the lnandibles
in the roughness Of the leaf qr OF
the sIlken threads spun upon it. It
is said that a certain kind of chrys-
alsis, when disturbed, emits slight.
sharp chirp or clicking noise,

Cancer NOT HEa, E;DITARY NOR CONTAGIOUS
Saws Arthur EgntG! Who Bases His Remarks
on Life Insurance Figures.

Ui Iiiu AtOS1
People should no longer enter
tain the fear that they will have
cancer because some parent or
ancestor d.ed with it: advises
Arthur Hunter: president OF the
Actuarial Society of America.
Mr.. Hunter bases his advice on
the facts obtained from the vital
statistics recorded by six OF the
largest American life Insurance
companies He summarizes Their
investigation as follows:
:'The statistics show that a
man or a woman, one or both OF
whose parents died from cancer
is no more likely to die from thai
disease than those whose family
history was free from that blem-
ish; strong proof should be pre-
sented in the future to justify
asking the public to take any
other point Of view, Lien aho
women who are in anxiety q
mind on account Of the aplsH.i-
ance in their ancestry or imfn2"
late family may dismiss such an.
xieties as there is no staFl5tira'
evidence at the present time that
the disease OF cancer Is trans
mitted by Inheritance in maH~
kind"
According to Mr.. Hunter again,
there seems little to support the
views that cancer is courageous.
"If it were," he says, then 1t
a goodly proportion OF cause, tie
wife would be infected by her
husband, or vice versa" Offer
ing some original figures on TINS
subject, he says further:
"Twenty thousand applicants
for insurance were reviewed, and
it was found that in 468 c.tses on
ly one of the parents Of the a,9-
plicant was stated to have died
from cancer, and in four c"se7
both parents were stated to nave
died of that disease. Summing
up tue results, it ap ears tha'
out of the 1872 cases where one o.
both parents Tad died of ca4cer
43 per cent. Of the other parent
had died of some ether disease,
Sc per cent. were living ut an az
erage age OF 81 and less thah ]
per cent. a p9t of 1922 had died
from cancer. This clearly in
dicates that there is very little t9
fear from coutagiou ae s9@r>
could hardly be a stronger I@,t
than the case Of husband itnd
wife. The significant fact in thi,-
Investigation is that there ~ere
only four cases uut of the 20, 90 =
applicants for ins urance in winch
both parents died OF cancer
