SCORE WITH RIFLES.
Central Girls Surprise Army
Observers.

Since long before the time of Cae-
and the man. but the girl and the gun
has not seemed SO fitting a combina-
ton. Somehow the Amazons have
never been very enthusiastically re-
ceived by the general public. either in
literature or fact. Nevertheless, it is
being daily proved that girls can
shoot and shoot exceedingly straight.
For the last two years rifle shooting
has been one of the most popular
sports indulged in by the girls of
Central High School. The sport was
organized and conducted by Miss
Hart. faculty director and Katherine
Edmonston. student manager for
1920. Since that time almost three
hundred girls have made use of the
school range. and many of them have
attained high degree OF ehclency
in craftsmanship.
/ The season. which closed this
month. has been a wonderful one for
the girls rife club. Sophia Wald-
man was manager. and proved an ex-
ceptionally capable one In a series
of informal matches with rife teams
from Eastern, Western and Business
high schools. the Central girls won
all the matches. Technical High
School did not have team prepared

The signatories of the petition
beseech the minister OF justice to
grant Toller a brief literary holi-

The movement already is pro-
voking the sharpest opposition
from Bavaria's reactionary press,
which designates the petition as
an onslaught against the constitu-

CHICAGO, June 24.-"You call that

at the fashionable Clarendon avenue
beach.
His stentorian tones were directed
at a dripping beauty-and she was all

the spray. His blazing eyes were
fixed on the simple lines of her neat
but swimmable suit She opened her
mouth in protest as she pointed to
the white belt that encircled her very
slender waist.
Doesn't the belt make it a two

But two policemen already were
hustling her away just in time to pre-
vent apoplexy on the part OF their

Parker made Ave trips abroad with
patients, and spent two interesting
years with patients in Davos, Switzer-
land, which she considers by far. the

receive treatment, both from a point
of view of climatic conditions and
because of the excellently developed
sanitary condition of the colony.

Mrs. Letter Says Control Of
Disease Rests on Open
Warfare.

Open warfare by open discussion
will mean the prevention Of many

Joseph Letter, secretary of the local

statement yesterday, in which she
gave a brief discussion of the disease
to be vigorously attacked this sum-

States.
During the war. Mrs. Letter pointed
out, the United states lost about
10000 soldiers, and during the same
period 100000 persons died of cancer
| In this country. Cancer is now kill
ing one out of every ten persons

Many of these deaths are prevent
! cancer is frequently durable, If recog-

stages. Cancer begins as a small
local growth which can often be en-
tirely removed by competent surgical
| treatment, or, in certain external
forms. by using radium, X-ray or
other methods.
Not Blood Disease.
Cancer is not constitutional or
blood disease. and 1t Is not a COM
| municable disease. 1t Is not possible
to catch cancer from one who has it.
, Cancer Is not inherited. 1t is not
certain even that a tendency to the

frequent that simply by laws of
chance there may be many eases in
some families, and this gives rise

The beginning Of cancer is usually
painless. For this reason its in

and Is too easily neglected. When
danger signals are observed COM
