Cancer Unknown Among
Habitual Onion Eaters

Once more the humble onion is
being honored by a medical author
ity. writes the Paris correspondent
of the London Daily Telegraph. Ac-
cording to Doctor Lakhovsky, who
has been engaged in cancer re-
search work, raw onions are not
only a preventive, but also a cure
for cancer. Onions, he says, like
a number of other vegetables, have
radioactive properties when eaten
raw. and he has sought to make use
of them. He found from statistics
which he collected from all parts of
the world that in those places
where raw onions formed a staple
part of the ordinary diet cancer was
practically unknown.
There are certain communities of
Jewish ascetics in Russia and
Poland who live exclusively on
bread, raw onions and water, and
among these, he declares, not a
single case of cancer has been re-
corded. Serbians. Bulgarians, and
certain communities in the eau
casus who eat raw onions daily are
singularly free from cancer.

Astonished Congregation

One Saturday two clergymen
were out together. Towards the
end of the day it occurred to one Of
them that he had no sermon ready
for the. morrow. He confided his
difficulty to his companion, an old
prison chaplain.
"Oh, never mind" the latter said.
"Ill lend you one of mine"
The defaulting clergyman accept
ed the offer, and, sending for the
sermon on Sunday morning, took it
into the pulpit without examination.
For a time everything went smooth
ly, but then the astonished clergy
man found himself addressing a be-
wildered congregation in the follow
ing words:
Il have seen some of you here
before, once, twice, even thrice; but
l hope | shall never see any Of you

Father Nile Long Held
Sacred by Egyptians

To the ancient Egyptians the an
nual flooding and fertiliZing OF
their country by the river was
special gift of the gods. If indeed
Father Nile were not himself a god
of special benefcence to the peo-
ple who dwell on his shores.
All their wealth. all their COM
fort, all their precious water came
from the Nile, and they worshiped
it as their dearest benefactor. When
a pharaoh saw in a vision fat and
lean cattle rising up from the
sacred Nile, it was portent not by
any means to be disregarded.
When the daughter of another
pharaoh found, in the Nile, a baby
floating in just such boat of papy-
rus reeds daubed with bitumen, or
inside with mud as ferrymen used
of a larger size for crossing the
river, it seemed to her pious and
maternal mind that this might be
special gift from Father Nile him
self. Perhaps it was meant to be
a special blessing to the royal
court. even though the little one
had its origin in a Hebrew home !

Dutch Banking Traced
to Thirteenth Century

The Netherlands has been called
the birthplace of progressive Dank-
ing. Obscure records tell of Dutch
mortgage banking and money
changing operations as early as the
Thirteenth century. The Neither
lands first great bank, the Amster-
dam Exchange bank (Wisselbank),
was established in 1909. This in
stitution was one of the first large
banks in Europe, says United
States Commerce Reports, having
been founded So years before the
Bank of England. AS its name I'M
piles, the Wisselbank was engaged
primarily in exchanging moneys, al
though it was permitted to func-
ton as a general cashier for mer-
chants. 1t could accept deposits
and pay bills. but was not allowed
to lend its deposits. Instead. the
depositor usually paid one-eighth
of l per cent to the bank for the
safe-keeping of his funds.
The exchange bank system hav-
ing outlived its usefulness. joint
stock companies first appeared as
early as 1906. The Bank Of the
Netherlands. one Of the oldest CEN
tral banks of the world, was estab-
lished in 1914. The enormous
financing required during the Dutch
colonial expansion necessitated an
international banking structure and
explains the modern and efficient
banking structure of the Neither
lands.

All members of the Del-Mar-Va

The association offers to send cop
les to other residents of the penin-

ceive immediate attention.
With the opening of the Pen
insula ferry definitely set for jan

At headquarters of the Del-Mar-

lieve that the next few months

Llama Faithful Friend
to Indians of Bolivia

The llama is an animal which
stands from 31a to feet in height,
with a long neck, which makes her
seem much taller. She is covered
with a very fine wool-black, white,
gray or brown in color. She is a
graceful animal, with the step of a
woman and having the timidity of
the gaZelle and the arrogance of the
camel, says traveller.
The llama is the faithful CON-
panion of the Aymara, or Bolivian
Indian. Everything she has is for
him; he eats the meat of the llama
he uses the wool to make ponchOs
(blankets) or cloaks, hats and
stockings; he makes horns and
flutes from her bones and ropes and
sandals from her hide. The llama
understands, recognizes and likes
her master, running instantly at
the sound of his voice and obeying
his commands like child for she
has no reins nor halter. For any
one else, a stranger or enemy OF
the Indian, she does not conceal her
dislike and will have nothing to do
with him, often splitting in his face.
She is an economical animal, for
her master never has to worry
about her food. She takes it when
she wants it from the wayside. eat
ing straw and vegetation. Like the
camel, she, too, can go many days
without water. The llama is used
more for transportation than any
thing else. She carries from 80 to
60 pounds. Some carry so, or even
100 pounds, but she knows her ca
pacity and refuses an extra ounce.
She is dear TO the hearts of all
Bolivians.

abandon their offices for the sports

by dunes and woods, idyllic forests

adise for the children ard it is as
tonishing how soon after Russia
lost the coastline the Germans, the

"Panacea"

Another word that is almost in
variably misused is 'panacea." 1t
is employed as if it were a synonym
for remedy" or "cure." But it
means much more than that. A
panacea is a universal remedy or
cure; that is. a cure for everything.
a cure-all. To speak of a panacea
for a particular aiiment IS absurd.
What the farmer needs for his eco
nomic illness is a remedy. Perhaps
it is an indication Of the seriousness
with which observers view his con-
ditiOn that they are apt to speak Of
suggested remedies not as remedies
but as panaceas. To such an ex-
tent is the meaning Of the word
misapprehended that one even sees
tho expression universal panacea,"
which is like saying "limitless in

SMYRNA AND ALL TOWNS MAY
BENEFIT BY DELMARVA TRAIL
ROUTE I3 THRU SMYRNA TO
LINK ATLANTIC SEABOARD
New Peninsula Ferry, Cape Char
les to Norfolk to Cooperate
Saving of Many Miles

The Del-Mar-Va Trail from the
extreme northern end of the Pen
insula thru Wilmington, Smyrna
and Dover, TO the southern tip is
to be carried as a link in the main
line route of the Atlantic Coastal
Highway between Calais, Maine,
to Cuba. This impressive state
ment comes from Col. Joseph G.
Stehlin, President of the Atlantic
Coastal Highway Association, and
is the result of action taken at a
meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of that Association last week.
1t is radical departure from the
previous policy and according to
officials of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association is recognition
away beyond what has been antic-
ipated. Colonel Stehlin points out
that byadopting the route through
Del-Mar-Va as link in the main
line every foot of the Atlantic
Coastal Highway will have been
paved He emphasized that previ-
GUS inadequate ferry service caus-
ed the Association to refuse to in
cllde Del-Mar-Va but with the
opening of the new Peninsula fer
ry between Cape Charles and Nor
folk on January 18th and the ad-
ditional improvement in rate re-
ductions on the existing line, the
Association has accepted route u.
S. 13 as the main line with others
being optional. Approximately one
million new maps showing the new
main line routing are to be dis
tributed throughout the entire
country, within a brief period of
time. This will place before all
travellers planning journeys from
the far North to the far South ac-
curate routing which will direct
them first through the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula.
The annual highway and trans
portation map issued by the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association
and brought up to date as of jan
uary 1, 1881, is now being distrib-
uted. This map of the Peninsula
is somewhat enlarged over the
previous editions and is featured
by heavy black lines over the prin-
cipal Del-Mar-Va trails from
North to South. Immediate ad-
jacent territory as far south as
Norfolk, west to Washington,
north to Hanover, Pa, and east
through lower New Jersey and the
route to Philadelphia are included.
The revised map for the coming
year stresses the advantages of
Del-Mar-Va trails as main link
IN the far North to far South trav-
el. 1t offers these trails from Will
mington and Elkton down through

Clothes For
Summer
By WILMA LA VILE

This is the season to make
your own summer sports
clothes, not only because you
need and can have more of
them, but because it's a season
Of individuality, when clothes
made especially for you are
smarter than anything else, and
when perfect fit is an essential.
Many women are choosing
spun silk for their sports frocks.
It's an ideal type of fabric be-
cause it's cool, washable, is in
lovely colors that are fashion
able this summer, and because
it has texture and surface in
terest, which is of great fashion
Importance this year.
The spun silks include the
shantungs, perhaps the greatest
favorites of all, the skirtings
such as silk madras. the piqueS.
silks tweeds and so on. They
are easy to work on, and are
suitable not only for active
sports frocks, but for the cool
little tub silks that women are
wearing to business, for coun-
try, spectacular sports, and for
general hot-Weather wear.
These fabrics may be made in
smart ways, the two most popu.
lar the one-piece frock, sleeve
less or with short sleeves accom-,
panied by a jacket, and the
tuck-pin ShirtwaiSt dress, or the
type that is really one-piece but
appears to be two-piece. They
all take dresSmaker details,
pleats, tuckS, jabots, bow treat
mentS or elaboration of some
sort that gives them a feminine
look, though they are essen
TALLY tailored and sports-like.
The two frocks we are sketch.

waist dress that will be seen
more and more as the summer
advances, and is of green
striped silk shirting. It has
the popular little short sleeves
that are worn for golf for
street or for nearly any
occasion now.
Most of the silk departments
in Washington stores have
models made up from popular
