WALES FORSAKES
i HIS FAITHFUL UKELELE

LONDON, November 3.-The
Prince of Wales has forsaken his old
love, the ukelele, for the bandoleon
which he brought back with him
from South America.
This instrument is used in the
tango bands which are now the rage
in London. 1t is like an elaborate
concertina, but is possessed of a
sweet, mellow tone.
1t is difficult instrument to
play, but Wales is taking daily les
sons from the bandoleonist of Lon,

CANCER DURABLE IF
 TREATED EARLY STAGE

PARIS, May 20.-(P)-"Cancer is curable," declares Dr. Roger Peroux, noted dermatologist of the Paul Brosse hospital, in Paris, provided two conditions are scrupulously full filled.
 "The first condition is that the cure can be commenced in time. No matter what the cause, cancer is in it's beginning, a local disease and can be treated successfully while the infection remains localized.
 Unfortunately, many people neg lect a slight sore, or an insignifi- cant bruise, and then, when it is too late, they hasten to their doc tor, whose aid at the eleventh hour is too frequently unavailing.
 From the time when the cancer can be eradicated to the moment when it becomes too late for surgi- cal relief, often only month elapses and sometimes even less.
 Therefore, the extraordinary growth of the disease should coun- sel immediate action.
 "The second condition is an hon. est treatment. Countless are the remedies that claim their efficacy against cancer, but I have found by long experience and research tfat there are but two treatments that really are worth while-radium and X,rays.
 Let me again caution those who have needed the false promises of patent medicines and cure-alls. They are not always harmful, but they never accomplish what they claim, and their use is a snare and a de- fusion.
 Between the radium and the K ray methods there is really very little to choose. It is all matter of the surgeons ability. Some doc tors have accomplished phenomenal results with radiun1, but not all with X-rays. Of late some experi- ments, not yet conclusive, have been made with, serums and chemicals.
 "The important thing to be re- membered is that cancer in it's be- ginning will rapidly respond to treatment and at that stage can be- successfully eradicated However, that phase passes very quickly, and hence the necessity of immediate surgical intervention before it is too late."

MURDER CHARGE AGAINST
 WOMAN WHO BEAT CHILD

TILLAMOOK, Ore, May 20.-(P- An indictment charging murder in the second degree was returned by the grand jury here the other day against Mrs. M. c. Patton, accused of brutally killing her four-year-old grand daughter, Sylvia Louise, daugh- ter of Mrs. Cora Deschamps, of Port land and c. B. Deschamps of Wash ougal, on her homestead, near Meda. The indictment followed a long hear ing in which many witnesses were called
 More than fifty people, mostly residents of the Meda district, wait ed in the court room during the day for the opportunity to testify.
 The alleged failure to act on a petition drawn up by neighbors to have the children taken out of her custody before the death of Sylvia occurred has caused severe censure of the county officials, some of the petitioners said.

GAS STOVE REVEALS
 SECRET WEDDING

LYNN, Mass, May 21.-(P)-A hid den romance and a secret wedding were revealed here recently by mistake in the delivery of a new gas stove.
 The gas stove arrived at the home of Mrs. Alfred s. Hill. Mrs. Hill, knowing the stove was not for her, began an investigation. As re- suit she learned that her son, Alfred s. Hill, an employe of the Lynn post office, and Miss Alice Schroeder were secretly married last October, and immediately after the ceremony they went to their homes and failed to divulge their secret.
 The gas stove had been purchased by the bride and groom and should have been delivered to their home.

year-old Spanish girl, is held in jail here charged with killing Phillip Medena, 23, her former sweetheart. Weping beside the dead mans bier is his bride of three days, formerly Virginia Triana.
 Consuelo, police charge, followed the newlyweds to this city from Fresno, California, where they were married. She accused Medena in front of the home he and his wife had just occupied, and plunged a dagger into his breast. He died in his brides arms, before medical aid could reach him.
 Miss Robles left the city on a motor stage but was removed at Livermore and returned to jail here.
 "Oh, I didn't want him to die,' she sobbed. But he refused to mary me. He say he will many times, and I am about to have a baby. Then he go away and marry Virginia"
 The bride was too broken heart ed to hold enmity against the girl who, it is charged, killed her hus- band. My Phillip-I love him only three days then she take him from me. My Phillip, he so good, and now he is kill. This Consuelo, she was his friend, but Phillip loved only me. And then she kill him. I wonder why?

Similarity in Names Often
Causes embarrassment to
Respected Citizens

Similarity Of names, especially
when one or more Of the persons
mentioned is well known, causes
many embarrassing complications.
A case in point 10 the publicity
given yesterday incident to the
charges before the Senate judiciary
subcommittee against Judge John
p. Mcmahon. Much Of the argu-
ment hinged on the case OF one
Julius Lansburgh, who was released
by the judge after being arrested
on a charge Of violation or the
Volstead act.
The name of Lansburgh has be-
coyne familiar to Washington
through the activities Of some OF
its most influential and respected
business men. 1t is virtually need
less to state that the Julius IAnsr
bursh arrested has no connection
with the well-known Lansburgh &
Bro. department store, or with the
Julius Lansburgh Furniture Com
Such Gases Numerous.
President Harding suffered sew
efal times from enlbarFaesnFents
occasioned by similarity OF names.
President Roosevelt and President
Wilson were also called upon many
times TO deny connection with in
dividuals who bore their names
Occasionally newspapers, the
agency responsible giving publicity
to such mixups, are hoisted on
their own petard. During the in
vestigation OF the Teapot Dome
scandal, the editor of Washing
ton paper was described in press
dispatches as having testified be-
fore the committee. AS a matter OF
fact, the person who did testify was
the publisher OF another paper,
whose name was similar to that or
the editor.
The editor, on being interviewed,
was quoted as saying. that didn't
know Teapot Dome from Pigeon
Hill, nevertheless, several hundred
newspapers all over the country
informed their readers that he had
testified in the hearing.
Showing that sometimes the
editor gets il In the neck.
