IRONING
BY Hannah Wing
An Acknowledged Authority on
All Matters pertaining to
Household Management.

VoU may think that nothing
h new In irons has happened
since the electric iron made sum-
nier ironing or pressing q de-
cidedly easier ask than it had
formerly been. But that is not
true. Ironing has its needs
which the manufactures has been
improving the electric iron to
meet.
Home ironing Is usually 4 par
ticular matter Of silks and frilis
and .laces and. particular irons
have been developed for this pur-
pose.
Perhaps the most outstanding
development, because ii meets
the want longest felt BY the
home ironer, Is the Temperature
controlled iron. Taking a les.
son from the finely controlled
oven OF the electric range the
electric iron now has its auto.
matte switch which keeps the

Another iron has developed a

Something altogether new In

EARLY STAGE
OF CANCER

NEARLY all cancers in their
IN earliest stages, may be re-
moved. either with the KNIT or
with radium or the X.rays. The
problem is to detect them in
those earliest stages. It is com
plicated enormously by the fact
that most cancers, when they
first appear, are relatively harm
less in appearance. and may be
readily mistaken for LESSONS that
are quite harmless-lesions so
common that everyone is familiar
with them.
Nevertheless, there are certain
signs that serve to distinguish
that are beginning cancers, or
may conceivably develop into
cancers, and 1t is chiefly to edu.
eating the public in the recogni-
ton Of such signs that the
American Society for the Control
OF Cancer addresses itself. Many
OF them are simple and plain
enough. and may be detected by
the layman.
There are, for example, moles.
Nearly every human being has a
mole or two, and most Of them
are harmless, but when a mole
IL dark in color and begins to
show irritation 1t is a potential
cancer, and should be cut out at
once. So with Jumps in the
breast, especially In women. The
majority Of such Jumps do no
damage, but there is a minority
