ACT CHIEF FEATURE
 OF FARM YEAR
Answer of Congress to Eight Year Old Ques-
 lion Event of 1929
By FRANK I. WELLER Farm Editor

Associated Press Feature Service)
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Passage of the agricultural marketing act, the answer of Congress to an eight year battle for farm relief" is re- garded by agriculture as the out standing event of this year.
 Under it the President has cre- ated a Federal Farm Board with Alexander Legge, former manu- facturer of farm machinery. at it's head Its eight members, repre- senting the major farm eommuni- ties, are pledged to effect better adjustment of production to dc mand and a more efficient syste n of marketing
 So far it has set up a S100000,- 900 national marketing organiza- tion for grain, $1,000,00O agency for livestock, and national mar xeting concern of the same capi- talization for wool and mohair.
 Approves Loan
 It has approved a loan of from $l5 100000 to $20.000,000 for the American Cotton Growers exchange and advanced funds on smaller loans for farm industries ranging in type from seed associations to Florida citrus cooperatiyes and California raisin cooperatives.
 It has used approximately $50.- 100000 of the original S15000000O appropriated from the authorized revolving fund of $500,000,000
 It is the theory of the Federal loans that they are to help the farmer help himself and that they are to be paid back with interest. | While stress is laid upon the ef- fective organization of cooperativc marketing associations as means of improving farm conditions, tht act contemplates a program em- bracing all major economic factors that materially influence farm in comes.
 To this program Secretary Hydc an ex-officio member of the faln board, has correlated every agency in the Department of Agriculture and behind this union of the two i governmental forces stands S tht broad sympathy and cooperation ol the National Grange and the Amer ican Farm Bureau federation-thC farmers own organizations through which he struggled for farm relic legislation.

 She cooked her head on one side to listen. She could hear faint squeak. like the sound of some small insect. There was no question about it. Her bright eyes ran over everything about her. They studied the place where the squeak seemed to come from. Not a living thing was to be seen anywhere. not even little red ant. Nothing moved ex. cepting that leg from the Centlpede. That lay just where she had thrown it and it kept twitching Jenny had seen too many legs twitch to be in- tcrested by that All she was inter- ested in was getting something quickly to feed those hungry babies over i'll the nest. But though she quickly hunted all around. she couldn't find that chirping insect.

When youth dances in summer moonlight, her costumes should ex- press the beauty of the occasion, the Tilt of her spirits and emboiy the feeling Of her young years.
 Madame Tollmann. of Paris. has created three stunning everins gowns for young wom"n that ,nl- fill every requirement. Each has some distinctive way os fluantinE itA youthful spirit in >.ry plcasin,: manner.
 'Tis not fabric alone nor yet col or that creates the impression of happy youth. The cut has much to do with it.
 Left-In a lovely little pale pink mousseline de soie gown Madame Tollmann develops semi-princesa line with a swaying skirt of two circular tiers that follow the down. in-the- back hcmline, all scalloped on the edge to further create the impression of rhythmic motion.
 The front neckline of the bodice is sweetly rounded in | modest manner while the back is cut lower with an original touch in its use oi a loose cape collar. This swayinz collar is embroidered in strass and three shades of pink bugles, all darker than the dress itself.
 
 Center-For the girl who wears yellow, Madame Tollmann uses both sides of beautiful tin-back crepe to fashion an original little gown that points its stripes Of both the shiny and dull sides of the fab. ric. From the hipline full panels fall to fashion cute little trains that float as it's young wearer dances.
 Right-Some girls yearn for their first black dance frock. feeling that it gives them a sophisticated charm. Madame Tollmann uses black poult de sole and makes little gown with two such youthful touches that 1t becomes almost demure in spirit rather than sophisticated.
 First, she makes detachable black net bertha. embroidered in black jet bugles. that Is cut little deeper in the back and fastens tight to the collar line. Second. she cuts the skirt in tiers and makes Q huge pouf on the longer side. This is caught with a sparkling buckle of diamonds and pearls.

 The average person thinks oS cancer as a horrible sore or tre- mendous growth. That is because cancer is all too frequently nGSlec- ted until it has reached a serious stage.
 In the earliest stage the cancer is a tiny spot, often just a little scaly place on the skin or on the lining of some internal organ. This very elrly beginning of the cancer, indeed the change even before |. becomes visible, can be prevented. go far as we know, only through prevention of the irritating factor that may give it an initial start. Obviously that is 50 difficult under many conditions that it cannot be prevented at all.
 However, once the cancer is rec. ognixed in its earliest stages. the growth and spread may be prevent ed by early complete removal. The importance of this fact is greater than can be estimated. It is the only certain thing that is known about controlling cancer in the human being. The hereditary fac. tors seem beyond control in man. kind.
 The prevention of cancer there- fore rests on elimination of sources or irritation and on the removal of all precancerous lesions particu- larly moles, warts. ulcers and ero- slons, which are subject to irrita- ton and which experience teaches may become the basis Of cancer.
 Cancer of the lip and tongue are among the most common cancers of men and have heretofore oc- cured infrequently among women. Cancer of the mouth is found most frequently among men who use to- oacco to excess, who neglect thelr teeth and allow broken or 1axsed teeth to cut the tongue. who wear
 A'e'oot iou6hSuCu eQKSQ QSn- tai accessories.
 Some men smoke the same pine year after year, holding it always at the same corner of the mouth and directing the stream of warm smoke at the same spot on the tongue. It is believed that thorough cleanliness Of the mouth and teeth, correction of all dental defects and the avoidance of such sources of Irritation as have been mentioned will do much to lower the incidence or cancer of the mouth.
 On the other hand, women have no" taken up smoking at rate far beyond that of many men. Ii will be interesting to study the cancer statistics of the future to find out how tar this change in the habits of women affects the incl dence of cancer of the mouth among them. At present they suf- fer primarily with cancers of the organs that are specially feminine and which therefore do not con. cern men.

vexEY FINDS A QUEER INSECT

By Thornton W. Burgess Every day brings something new: ll not to me. perhaps to you.
 Jenny Wen
New Britain herald., 1929-06-17

.Munsry babies require . great 14al of food and this is especially tfus of hungry bird babies. You eSe. bird babies have to grow very fest. They som metimes eat more than thetr own weight in food in . day. O that means that while they are tlay and helpless. Mother and Fath- es must work very hard to get food enough for them.
 Did you ever stop to think how simple the matter of getting food b for us humans? We just go out aAd buy it. We know just where to % for it. Rut it is very different with the bird people and the ani- nal people. They not only have got to ee get it and bring it home to their babies, out they have got to hunt for 1t before they can get it Nov. in Jenny Wren's nest in the clsthespin bag hanging in the shed back of Farmer Browns house were six hungry mouths. So there were three apiece for Jenny and Mr. Wren.
 It l. we'll that the Wrens have sharp eyes. If they didn't have. 1 em afraid 1t would be impossible fer them to find food enough to feed the big families they raise every year. Jenny Wren long ago learned that bugs and worms and insects are found in all sorts of places. 50 she looks in all sorts of places. This is how it happened that she was searching inside the shed where her nest was. She had dis covered that there were spiders in there. and spiders are very good eating for those who like them. So every day she made thorough search of the woodshed. hoping about over the neatly piled stove wood, peering and pokins into every corner and crevice.
 So it was that one morning she happened 10 discover a queer in sect. At least. he was queer 10 Jenny. His body was made up of many little parts joined together called seSnlents. He had long legs and there were fifteen pairs Of them! Jenny hadn't the slightest idea who this queer fellow was. or what family he belonged to. Actu- ally. he was Centipede. one known n the House Centipede. be- cause he is often found in houses But Jenny's only interest in hini was as . supply Of food for hungry babies. So she darted at him just as he was disappearing in a crack
 Much to Jenny's disgust she was just . trifle too late. All she go. was one of the Centipede's legs one Of those long legs. Of course. a leg was of no use 10 her, SO she dropped if. She pecred into the crack where the Centipede had dis. appeared. She hoped she might b. able te get her bill in there and pull him cut But the centipede had diNppeared and Jenny knew that il was . waste of time for her 10 wait around Tor him 10 come out aSain.
 'TTl probably have a chance 10 catch him ssmS other day." said

 Without doubt Anns experiences the baby equivalent of triumph. Without doubt. too. the fact that thus early in life she has scored such a magnificent conquest over an important part of the world will leave its mark upon her character.
 There is chance for initiative even in the cradle. Watch your your baby Don't do for him any thing which he is trying to do for himself. unless he has tried over and over again and failed-then
