i Il rich sirup pour into the soda
glass in her hand. Then she
added a large scoop of ice cream,
turned on the charged water, and
stirred up the appetizing mixture with
a spoon. She added a dash of whipped
cream on top. poured out a glass of
water, and served the order TO a GUS
toner in the Corner Drug Store.
Coming back to the fountain, she
glanced at the clock on the farther
wall. It was almost o'clock, the hour
at which she quit work. Every after
noon, from $50 until 6, Helen attended
to the soda fountain in the drug store,
and she worked all day on Saturdays.
In this way she earned several dollars
a week, dollars that were very precious
in the Winslow household. Helen's
father had died several years before,
and her mother was hard pressed to
support the family of four children.
Therefore. In her senior year at high
school Helen had decided to work after
school hours, and this drug store, only
a few blocks from her home and close
to the school, had offered tempting
position.
Helen was usually a very cheerful
girl, but tonight as she put on her hat
and coat and started for home the
corners of her mouth dropped. Al
though she never complained, it had
been a great sacrifice for her to give
up every afternoon to the important
business Of earning money In the
first place, it had meant that she had
to quit playing basket ball, for the team
practiced in the afternoons. This had

Helen, for she had been a star player

Helen's low spirits this evening. Her
mother noticed her sad face as they

The Thumb Tie"
Easy to Learn

Did you ever see a professional ma
gician perform 1.-THE Thumb Tie? In
this clever effect the performers thumbs
are securely bound with two lengths Of
cord, yet he succeeds in catching large
hoops on his arms; he can pull his
hands through an upright pole, as
shown in the sketch; he can remove
his coat and perform various other
seemingly impossible feats. The knots
real mystery.
| And, more, it's mystery which any
boy or girl can present after few
minutes practice.
Here's the how: The equipment con-
sists Of two lengths of fairly stiff cord

about one-eighth of an inch in thick
ness, and, respectively, 16 and 20 inches
long. After the cords have been ex-,
amined, the longer one Is wrapped
twice around the thumbs and tied, as
shown In Figure /. The shorter cord
Is then wrapped around the first one,
as shown by the arrow, In Figure /,
thus forming figure eight loop with q
thumb In each loop, .as shown in
Figure 2.
And so the trick is done! BY
separating your thumbs slightly-scis-
sor fashion--you will ind that you can
easily remove the right thumb from its
loop, and, since the cord Is rather stiff,
the loop remains rigid and the thumb
can be instantly returned.

CANCER Groups
PROPOSED

The question as to how to control
cancer formed ths subject of an
address yesterday by DIR. James
Ewing, head of the pathology de.
partment of Cornell University at
the closing session of the annual
convention of state and provincial
health officers with the Public
Health Service.
DR.. Ewing outlined a program
of cancer control through cancer
institutions" located in all large
cities, each equipped with $500. 900
or 81 100000 worth Of radiuIh treat
ment apparatus. a staff OF surgeons
and other scientific experts. The
speaker said such institutions must
and will be established In a few
years through State health depart
ments, with financial assistance
from philanthropists.
The institutions, with educational
centers, he said, would distribute
to the public information such as
the early symptoms of the various
forms of the disease.
They would insure free diagnosis
and thus early treatment, and
would prove the best possible treat.
ment by expert surgeons and radio.
logists. he said.
DR.. Ewing contended that radium
treatments alone, surgery alone, or
the two together, out of the hands
of experts would prove unavailing.

Stresses Importance of
Good Motor Oil

The problem of fabrication fails to worry
VIA. Burdge of Burdge & Sons, Red Bank,
N. y. He picked the proper motor oil when he
stated business, and depended on it to take
care of his trucks. 1t did.
Fright now" says Mr.. Burdge, any one of
our 2o-passenger buses can step out in high
speed from complete stop. That shows ex-
cellent condition If anything does. Most cars
ardworn out after 100, 900 miles, but we don't
consider bus really good until it has gone
that far.
Drivers Prefer Oldest Trucks
"PFetty strong statement? Well-maybe. But
RECENTLY had to send a man on long trip
and told him to take our newest bus. Instead
of being pleased he asked if he couldn't take
thu one that has 375 900 miles credited to its
mokor. He knew it was the best job we have.
That" continued Mr.. Burdge, merely illus
trades my point-the value of good lubrica-
ton Throughout the eleven years we have
been in business we have used Standard
Motor Oil exclusively in every one of our
bu$es, vans and trucks.
Here's another secret. When bus comes in
from a hard run of many miles at high and
steady speed we insert a dose of Standard
Penetrating Oil through the carburetor to
lubricate the valves and keep them from
sticking. Another way we keep the buses in
good condition is to spray the springs with
Standard Penetrating Oil. In fact, we use
almost the entire line of Standard Oils and
Grsases."
