Recent discoveries, bringing near
haps therefore of the treatment OF
cancer. are Of very great public and
impersonal interest
But do not make the fatal blunder
of thinking that they are of personal
interest, to any one now suffering or
threatened with cancer.
There is nothing so dangerous in
cancer as delay. and the results of
these investigations will be long de-
layed-much too long to be of use
to any present patient.
The only thing to do, if you have
anything that resembles cancer. is to
seek advice on it quickly, and if it
turns out to be cancer. to have it
treated by present methods. imme-
diately. These methods. fortunate
ly. offer a good chance. if used at
once.
Delay, waiting for new methods
would find those methods useless
even if they we're developed. So let
no possible sufferer think these re-
ports are for him.
His only salvation is to use pre- sent
knowledge. now. Future knowledge
if it comes, is for the use of others
Why Schepp Took to the Woods
Unfortunately, the impersonal
view Of anything is the rarest thing
in the world.
Take the much-discussed case OF
Leonard Schepp, who had more mil
lions to give away than he knew how
to dispose of beneficially.
He asked for suggestions where
they would do the greatest good to
the greatest number. He was swamp.
ed with suggestions how to do the
greatest good to the least number
that is. to "me."
Everybody wanted something FOL
himself, and practically nobody had
any ideas for the general good.
So the poor millionaire fled to the
woods, leaving corps of secretaries
to answer with printed form letters

Slang

Sometimes slang impovershes rather than
riches the Language.
Take the word dumb" for instance, which is rap
idly coming to stupid
Obviously it is the German word DUNN" 1t IS
more vivid and picturesque than stupid" and would
be an Improvement except that it leaves without
any cooquial word meaning mute"
II are going to import DUNN" then We SHOULD
import 'stumm' also Let who can not think
be dumb and one who not speak be "stumb"
Otherwise may find our colloqual speech
incapable of expressing the state Of inability to

epotism selfishness and enthusiasm.
The first two qualities magnify him
self and his job until he thinks
them worth while; the other makes
him fling himself into life, beyond
his own interest and in the service
of ideals which he feels but does not
comprehend.
So we struggle on, toward the un.
known goal, whose reward is not
ours, and whose meaning is prob
ably not ourselves.
Suppose the Ancient
Scribes Are Cont radicted?
1t is the Age of Excavations. The
next is to be Armageddon. where the
mystics suppose the last trump is to
sound. The mystics may continue
to dream of its future. We will dig
into its past.
What if, there or elsewhere in Pal
estine, we should stumble on con-
temporary records of the Kings of
Israel, written on stone by them
selves. and find some of them in
consistent with the later chronicles
of the scribes?
Such things have happened. every
where. else that men have dug-in
Mesopotamia, in Egypt and in Rome.
The contemporary stone records
have always compelled some revi-
sion of the later parchment docu-
ments.
It would shock no modern mind
thus to increase our knowledge of
Palestine. also But would our
medieval minds allow this knowl-
| edge to be disclosed in schools?
The Danger in Trying
To Cut Rubber Prices
Rubber prices are too high. But
do not jump too certainly at the
conclusion that the only remedy is
competition.
Most of the rubber in the world
| is produced in the British and Dutch
Indies. The British combine has. put
the price up, with the result that
American consumers are paying
Britain's installments on its Amer-
can war debt.
We can raise rubber in the Phil
ippincs. and perhaps should. But if
we did, we should want to join the
I same combine.
There are enough bearing rubber
trees now to overproduce the mar
ket. The scarcity is artificial.
1t should be remedied. But more
overplanting might be an expensive
way.

After this position is obtained one
must drive oneself ahead by very
rapid up-and-down leg motion. keep
ing the ankles fully stretched all the
time and the feet just under the wa
ter.
The water should "boil'' at the
feet. To get this result the knees
should limp up and stiffen alternate
ly.
This leg action is fish-tail action.
though because of the shape Of the
feet, it is horizontal instead of verti-
cal as in the case Of fish.
Make the action as rapid as pos
sible.
Though very exhausting at first.
little practice will make this exercise
easy-and it will bring results.

Not Perfect

An old woman found in the poorhouse of an
Ohio town She born there. IS years ago, and
has never been out OF it.
Officials of the poorhouse aren't at fault. They
only did what they had to. And yet this woman has
been robbed of something that can never be repaid
to her-in this life at least.
Ours is a great country. But long as things
like that can happen in it, it is still very far from
being perfect.

HaDpy findings

The people demand happy ending, say the
movie manufacturers. No doubt But does
happy ending necessarily mean stupid one?
If kingdoms must be overthrown, cities destroyed,
whole peoples martyred and multitudes tortured
and slaughtered. all that the final closeup may
show the right man embracing the right girl that
is "happy" only on the assumption that audiences
have sense of proportion
Yet this is an exact description of more than one
famous film 1t is strange sense of perspective.

Wage Cuts

The textile wage cuts, it is reported. came partly
at least because the manufacturers. vexed by Pres
dent Coodges refusal to boost the tarin on wooden
goods wanted to take sly rap at him.
Let's hope that report is wrong. 1t would be a
shameful thing If the wages of thousands of work
ers were cut merely because certain business men
wanted to try to show the president that they think
he is wrong.

long dresser near the icebox and an
other near the sink; closet in the
pantry and a long counter, which does
much to make the preparation of food
| easy. The dining nook leads from the
pantry to the living room. 1t is one
of those cozy little corners that gives
an intimate air TO the small dinner.
For more formal dinners the living
room may be utilized. The living
room has most inviting fireplace at
one end, with a corner for books near
by. There is an opportunity for
long, deep, comfortable window-seat
in the side window. and the whole
room is SO spacious that there is none
of the cramped sensation so often eX
perienced in the small house.
Leading from the living room is
small hall. which separates the living
quarters from the bedrooms, thus Sc
curing quiet and SeculSion. The bath
is between the two bedrooms. Both
bedrooms have windows on two sides,
insuring light and fresh-air circula-
ton. And closets! There are six in
this gem of house.
The house is almost 60 feet wide
and the same in depth. This seems
very large at first, but if you will
study the plan you will see that this
measurement is not extreme. 1t is
from the outside wall of the kitchen
to the same wall of the bedroom. Both
of these rooms extend at an angle
from the main living room.
The roof on such a design will cost
slightly more than if the house were
square. But one must pay little
for beauty in this life, and where may
we enjoy such extra expenditure more
than in a home?
Since the prices of material and
labor vary so materially in different
localities, we do not attempt to give
an estimate as to cost, but suggest
that you consult your local builder,
who can give you detailed information
as to your exact needs to be installed
in this design. For information as to
the procuring of the building plans
of this design, No. "a, send a stamped
and self-addresSed envelope to the
Real Estate Editor of The Star.

The Spring readjustments in wage
scales DO not now promise more than
slight fluctuations. The majority of
crafts appear willing to renew 1924
scales, although there is a slight up
ward tendency in some of the larger
cities. In some of the smaller cities
the unions have decided to reduce
rates to stimulate building. The five
day week movement has apparently
been postponed. The supply of labor
generally is believed to be sufficient.
For the country as whole no inn
portant changes in building material
prices were reported. Most changes
that did occur were in the Atlantic
and Central States, where. in certain
cities, there was noticeable increase
in the price of cement and moderate
decrease in the cost of common brick
There was a slight weakness in GER
tain grades of lumber, especially
Southern pine. Building tile was
somewhat higher. Some weakness
was shown in the structural steel
shapes market.
