The problem of what to do with
the woman smoker on board the
trains of the country has been solved
on some of the transcontinental
limiteds by the addition to the serv-
ice of an observation car which in
cludes a ladies lounge" Within
the sacred precincts of this lounge
are all of the appliances and ap-
purtenances of the smoker, with a
maid to furnish matches or do mani
curing, to chase the rouge spot or
the powder puff and to do the hun
dred and one other things the ladies'
may desire. .-.
Since they have come into their
own as smokers, the women of the
country have been severely handicap

places open to them for indulgence
In the seductive weed have been the
washrooms, and these generally are
found both crowded and unattractive.
Man has had 1t pretty much his own

dience which gathered at the New

DEATHSBY CANCER
INCREASE IN YEAR
Fight Against Tuberculosis
Makes Good Progress Mean
time, Statistics Show.

Deaths from cancer increased in the
United States in 1928, while the fight
against tuberculosis made progress.
A total of S6,754 deaths were re-
ported to the Census Bureau as hav-
ing resulted from cancer last year in
a registration area composed of ter
ritory containing S7.6 per cent of the
total population. This represented
an increase of 5,S16 deaths over 1922.
The rate per 100000 population was
S9.4 against s6S in 1922.
Tuberculosis Deaths.
On the same area tuberculosis
caused 90,732 deaths, against 90,452
in 1922, but the rate per 100000 de-
creased from 81 to 936.
The Census Bureau estimated that
if the unregistered areas maintained
the same ratio of deaths, cancer
caused $4,000 deaths in 1928 against
95, 900 in 1922.
Adjusted rates were made in COM
pairing the figures on both cancer and
tuberculosis by States. In the case
of cancer the adjusted figures were
made to allow for difference in age
and sex distribution of the population,
because, generally speaking only per-
sons in middle life and old age have
cancer, and consequently State with
a considerable number of the aged
may be expected to have more deaths
from the disease than a State with
comparatively small proportion Of
aged people.
Increase In Cancer.
In the adjusted figures for "a
States, cancer deaths increased IN %.
in New York, and the lowest 52.2 in
South Carolina. The greatest num-
Der of deaths was in New York,
where 12,247 died from the disease
against 1887 in 1922. Pennsylvania
had $3.50 deaths, against 1852. The
total for Illinois was 6,636, against
$40; for Ohio, 5,7s4, against 5.54s;
Massachusetts, 4,760, against 1887;
California, 1888, against 4.477; Mich
igan, 1916, against Ball; Missouri,
3176, against 2,947, and New Jer-
sey, 1852, against 3,021.
The lowest number of fatalities
from cancer occurred in Wyoming
with 116, against 81 in 1922.
In figuring tuberculosis the white
and ngro populations were sepa-
rated in some States. In this group
Tennessee had the highest adjusted
rate in 1923 for white population,
1888 per 100, 600, and Maryland the
highest for negroes, 290.7 per 100000.
Mississippi had the lowest rate for
both races, 81 for the white and 59.7
for the negro population. For the
25 States which show adjusted rates
but not by color, Colorado had the
highest, 1856 per 100000, and Ne
braska the lowest, 34.2.
The largest number of deaths from
tuberculosis occurred in New York,
where 1851 persons succumbed to
the disease, against 10,695 in 1922.
Pennsylvania had 1917 deaths,
against S.01S: California, $500, against
5,SS1; Illinois, 5,572, against $500;
Ohio, 5,251, against 5,159; Kentucky,
3,2S6, against 3,253; Tennessee, 1924,
against $500; Massachusetts,. 1866,
against 3,732; Missouri. 3,186, against
3,258, and New Jersey, S,031. against

deaths occurred in wyoming, where

Beard Once Mans Glory.

There was deep-rooted belief
among the ancient peoples of the
East that a mans glory was his
beard Compulsory shaving and the
close cropping of hair were signs of
degradation. This Is borne out by

show kings with boards and long
