SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Or. g. "a. II. Reed


r HAPPEN to know that much
i is being done at the present
moment that promises q final
solution OF the cancer problem.
The investigators, however. are
wisely refraining from premature
publication. and their reports may
not be Forthcoming for another
year. In the meantime Drs.
Greenwood and Clayton call at
ton Gondon lancet to some en-.
couraging facts.
While it is true that cancer is
the most savage enemy OF civilized
mankind and kills numbers whom
no human power can save, yet
many die of it who have no bust
ness to. This is shown by some
figures recently given by two lead
ing British Investigators, Prof.
Major Greenwood and DIR. Janet
Lane.C Clayton.
These authorities compared tins
age figures OF registered deaths
from cancer OF the breast and
womb with the age figures Of
those who applied to hospitals for
ing. 1t showed that, OF women
who die of cancer or the breast
q per cent are over 20 and 46.7
per cent are women over so. Yet,
OF all patients Of cancer, only 2.8
per cent are women over 20 who
apply for treatment and only 17.6
per cent are women over so.
Similarly, of all deaths from can
Ger of any sort, 14.4 per cent are
women over 20 and 1913 per cent
are women over so with cancer OF
the womb. Yet those who ask
for treatment only number FL per
cent and Ill per cent Of the total
number Of patients.
The available figures show that,
even 1t no woman over 20 could
hope for q successful operation
land this is by no means SOY,
about rs per cent Of all women
suffering from cancer OF the
breast, and 86.6 per cent OF those
suffering from cancer of the
womb are capable OF benefitting
by present methods Of treatment.
Prof. Greenwood and DIR. Clayton
state that not more than so per
cent Of all women dying of can
Ger OF the breast make any appli.
cation for effective treatment;
that is, treatment likely to remove
the disease for good. The num-
Der OF those with cancer OF the
womb who ask for treatment is
believed to be rather less. Sta
tisticS from the Leeds Hospital
show that, Of women operated on
while the disease is still confined
to the breast. 80 per cent are

ton. The English investigators
conclude by saying that If all
women would attend for radical
operation at an early stage of the
disease the reduction in the death
rate from cancer of the breast
and probably also from cancer of
the uterus would be so per cent.
Nowadays, they say women de-
lay SO long that of those who
come up for operation little more
than half have any hope of bene-
fit, and even this half are suf-
fering from advanced disease. The
present death rate under opera
tion IL 17.S per cent, and the num-
her of survivors after 10 years is
1926 per cent,

We speak OF failing in love"
as thought 1t were a pit, or the
Grand Canyon; hut love is the
light on the imountain-top to
which we must eternally climb.
Love is q gIorified friendship,
highly intensified, favored with
romance, spiced with passion and
sprinlkIed with star-dust.
Love, in the romanticist, is ex.
pressed in soulful kisses and by
his inability to do any work for
days at a time.
Love. in a bachelor, is demon.
strated by his willingness to tie
himself to q woman for life, and
thereby exchange the admiration
and embraces Of q. lot of women
for the criticism and coffee'kisses
Of just one.
Love. In q husband, is shown by
his willingness to give his wife
ANYTHING that will make her
happy, from the heart Of the
salad to a Paris divorce.
Love, in a college sheik. is
evinced by his ability to think OF
somebody besides himself for u
whole hour at time, or to shave
off his pet mustache to crafty
q girls aesthetic ideals.
Love. in a philanderer, is dem
onstrated by his inability to think
of any OTHER woman, while he
happens to be kissing a particular
one.
Love. in any man, is the essence
Of >unselfishness-and the most
selfish thing in the world.
It is the flash Of light, by
which one sees clearly that TO
give to another and sacrifice For
another is after all the magic
way to get the greatest happiness
out of life.

AUTO DEMAND
TOPS SUPPLY
More Cars Wanted Than
Can Be Supplied.

There will not be enough new
automobiles in the world to meet
the demand OF the public for about
forty-five days following the first of
April
That is the prediction of Edward
S. Jordan, president of the Jordan
Motor Car Company.
The picture is a reversal of the
situation that existed in the indus
try last year
Because of overproduction last
fall and the slowing up of sales
previous to the Ford announcement,
there has been no excess produc-
ton forced upon the dealers dur
ing the past ninety days.
Stocks OF new cars at the fac
tories and in the hands of dealers
are lower than usual for this time
Of year.
Dealers who had hundreds Of
cars in storage last fall now have
just a few cars on hand.
Everybody has been conservative
and now many dealers are worried
about the difficulty of getting cars
for spring delivery.
Another factor which creates a
favorable situation is the fact that
practically every manufacturer has
new and greatly improved models
at lower prices.
Secondhand stocks are not large
and the public realizes that the de-
mand for new models is so great
that they are not asking for long
trades on their old automobiles.

Engineer Advises Thorough
OverhauIing; Explains
Way to Do 1t.

Short runs and operation in freez-
ing weather place a severe burden
on the mechanical parts of a car,
but careful "once over" at the
service station will go long way
toward guaranteeing a summer of
care-free operation, says David
Gregg, research engineer of the AC
Spark Plug Company, who tells what
should be done.
First of ALL" he says, "Iet's start
with bath-clean the engine,
chassis and body thoroughly-dirt
covers many defencts. Check the
chassis first. See that the spring
clips are all tight; take any ex-
cess clay out of the spring Shackles.
Clean and grease the steering gear,
and check the alignment of the
front wheels-first adjusting the
wheel bearings and filling the hub
caps with fresh grease. See that
the nuts holding the rear wheels
to the axles are drawn tight and
fastened with a cotter pin.
Kerosene Helps Transmission
Drain the old oil from the trans
mission and rear end, and put
quart of kerosene or flushing oil in
each. Put a couple of handfuls of
sal soda in the radiator and run
the car for few miles till it is well
warmed up. The soda cleans out
the scale and rust in the radiator
while the kerosene will loosen and
wash out all the old Oil in the trans
mission and differential. Drain these
as soon as you stop, then drain the

Tail Lights
BY SWEDE SWANSON

1t takes just a little careleSSnesS to
make an accident. Which is why the
automobile accident rate remains
high, despite sincere efforts of po-
lice officials, safety organizations
and automobile clubs to educate the
motoring public and keep injuries
down.
Only very few accidents are due
to downright recklesSnesS. Motor
| lists have more sense than that.
But there are many little things the
driver shouldn't do while at the
wheel, but which he almost I'M
consciously does, that bring about
collisions and injuries.
Distracting q drivers attention is
big factor in this item of care
leSsness. Both eyes and mind must
be on the road ahead, or there
danger of accident Both hands
must be on the wheel.
Motorists should remember that
there are many others on the road,
and nothing can be taken for
granted. Who knows what the
other fellow might do next? Lack
Of attention and alertness, which is
just plain carelessnesS, coupled with
this ever-present doubt, makes acct
dents.
The rule is to watch your step"
and there Will be no accident.
Use Crude Oil on Body
When you have tried everything
possible to bring some sore of luster
back to the body of the car that is
the time to try crude oil.
A little of this rubbed over the
body will present a very neat ap-
pearance. 1t fills the pores of the
paint and has a tendency to revive
the color.
Of course the body should be
rubbed down with dry, soft cloths,
otherwise the crude oil film will act
as dust-catcher. The plan is
recommended only for the older cars
which are not done in lacquer.
1t is the oil in the average pol
ish that does what little good such
polishes do to old paint surfaces,
but in such form it is expensive and
not as effective as crude oil, due to
the other ingredients.

Loose Wheel Causes

Just saying that the front wheels
are loose does not mean very much
by way of finding the remedy
There are several places where such
looSeneSs can occur and they may
not be in the wheels at all.
If there is question as to
whether the looseness is in one of
the wheels or in the king pin,
which holds the spindle to the end
of the axle, it can be decided easily
enough Just remove the wheel and,
grasping the spindle, see if it is
loose.
If it appears tight and there Is
no loosening observable at the king
pin, you are safe in assuming that
the trouble is in the wheel.
Such wheel trouble may be due
either to worn bearings or, which
is more likely, to the nut not being
drawn up tight enough.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., June 12.-Miss
Amelia Earhart climbed into the
cockpit of the monoplane Friendship
at 11:30 a. m. eastern standard
time) today and said she was ready
to start her long-delayed flight
across the Atlantic.
She, with Wilmer Stultz, pilot
and Lou Gordon, mechanic, were
expected to leave momentarily. The
perfect flying weather and the fact
that Miss Mabel Boil was flying up
the coast on the start of an air race.
Spurred the crew of the Friendship.
Weather reports said the strong
west to northwest wind would con-
tinue indefinitely. Such winds would
be behind the Friendship and help
push it eastward across the Allan
tic.
Weather conditions over the east
earn Atlantic we're not encOurag-
ing, and it seemed possible the
start would be postponed until there
was change.
1--WE are not going to take any
wild plunge" said Miss Earhart.

Friendship will take us to our deS-
tination safely. At present we are
ahead-and any weather that will
take the Columbia across will take

shrug of his shoulders. "Our start
will not be influenced by the move
