making the dyes and hunting for the
materials to make them.
I'm Norway" continued Nine.
Bachke, 1.-The country people weave
practically all the materials used by
them for clothing. and they dye the
materials with dyes made from plants
and flowers. We have many books
which tell what flowers or plants make
certain colors. So when the first
flowers of Spring came, I would go
forth into the woods to gather what I
needed for my dyes. I used leaves.
tree roots and moss. Sometimes If
should use too much moss or too much
of a certain root or leaf, my dye would
be too deep, and it was necessary to
make it again. But it was remarkable
how seldom T failed to get the same
shade of dye, no matter how often
found it necessary to make it. I have
frequently had to dye wool the same
shade at least eight different times in
order to have enough to finish a
tapestry or rug I was weaving. After
dyeing the wool, would send it back
to the peasant women to spin into
yarn for me. These dyes never fade.
1 have exposed some of the yarn to
the rains, SHOWS and suns of two years
and never had the slightest change in
the color. The rugs and tapestries
which I made& were with me for five
years in SoutllsAmerica beneath the
most vivid sunlight, and the colors re-
manned as bright and unchanged as
they were the day they were finished"
Used 1870 Pounds of Wool.
Nine. Bachke stated that in one of
her rugs she used 100 pounds of wool
in the making These heavy, large
rugs, exquisitely finished, have been
woven and handled entirely alone by
this slender, highly cultured woman,
whose long, delicate fingers weave the
most intricate patterns with lightning
speed, and as one section of rug or
tapestry is finished it is rolled up on
the loom by means of a winding spool
attached for that purpose. The patient
worker never knows how her entire
pattern is going to turn out until the
whole is completed and let out to its
entire length, from where 1t has been
rolled in the process of making.
Nine Bachke considers the finest
thing she has done Is tapestry. which,
in design, is a copy of Previsde Cha
vannes famous painting of st. Gene
We've watching the sunrise over Paris.
1t was necessary for her to obtain per-
mission from the director Of the Beaux
Arts in Paris to make a reproduction
of the painting. The tapestry was
made during her sojourn in her noun
tain retreat and took her year and
half to finish.
1T would have taken me 10 years
to make under normal conditions" she
said, but as worked on 1t necessarily
morning and night, finished 1t in Is
months time"

SUPREME COURT AGREES
TO REVIEW TRUST CASE
Validity of Virginia Tax Is Cues
toned in Suit by Balti-
more Company.

The Supreme Court today consented
to review the case of the Safe Deposit
& Trust CO. of Baltimore VS.. Virginia
involving the validity of tax imposed
by the State on trust property held In
Maryland, for the benefit of resident
of Virginia.
In this case. property was left to the
Safe Deposit & Trust Co. of Baltimore
in trust for the benefit of the two sons
Of the trustor, with the provision that
when the sons will have attained the
age of 25, each receive one-half of the
principal and the accumulation of in
come. and that if either of the two
should die before receiving his share
of the principal and income. then the
entire amount shall be paid to the sur
vivor. The trustor reserved the right to
revoke or modify the trust.
The State of Virginia assessed taxes
against the property held by the trust
company for the benefit of the two
sons who were residents of Virginia. The
maintained that the State had
no jurisdiction to tax the property, but
'''a c"''~fc of Virginia sustained the
tax, and the company petitioned the
49,. .~Iii1 Court 10 review the case.

CANCER IS FOUND
Study of Mice by Michigan
Scientists Traces Type
to 0vary.

BY the Associated Press.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 11.--One
cause of certain type of cancer has
been traced to definite internal organ
the ovary-by research at the Uni
versity of Michigan.
This achievement is not in the cam
GER of human beings, but OF a certain
strain of brown mice.
The value of the discovery at present
is that workers have been attempting
for 20 years to establish definitely this
one possibly significant fact. The
Michigan work indicates also the
patient, ceaseless campaign under way
in laboratories all over the country,
a campaign usually carried on quietly.
The discovery about mice is made
public for the benefit of other cancer
workers.
Transportation Figures.
Responsibility of the ovary for type
of cancer was indicated by the high
percentage of cancer in females with
ovaries, and few cancers among those
from which they had been removed.
The demonstration which seemed to
clinch the case was transportation of
ovaries to males. The males had
possessed a perfect record of no cancers,
until the transportation took place.
Then about per cent developed the
malady.
DR. William S. Murray, who made the
experiments, concluded that 1.-The occur
ence of cancer in this strain of mice is
linked very definitely with the ovary
and the activity of its secretions."
Unusual Race of Mice.
Success of the TRANSFORMATIONS was
due to an unusual RAGE of mice. de-
veloped by DR.. Clarence Cook Little,
president Of the University of Michigan.
Through inbreeding they possess what
is known as homogeneity, similarity
of physical characteristics that tends
to make grating parts from one to an
other more than ordinarily successful
Starting in 1909 with single pair"
DR.. Murray says, this line has been
developed by DR.. Little to the present
time, by brother to sister matings for
the most part. Contrary to prevailing
opinion in regard to inbreeding. such a
process does not have deteriorating
effect upon the descendants of these
animals. The colony today is as virile
and vigorous as any of the less closely
bred stocks in the laboratory"
