CANCER CLINIC
PLEA RENEWED
California Physicians Appear
Before New York State
Board.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Their plea
for their own clinic to treat human
beings in New York with adrenal gland
extract for cancer was renewed In per-
son yesterday by Drs. Walter B. Coffee
and Jorr D. Humber of San Francisco
before the State Board Of Social We'll
fare.
The board took the application under
Amusement
Organized medicine of New York City
and State was present. and the discus
sion boiled down finally to a question
whether these Eastern savants were
shutting out cancer sufferers from
chance for possible relief.
"A Chinese wall is erected against
Drs. Coffee and Humber" said their
counsel, Herbert L. Satterlee OF New
York. In reply, city. county and State
authorities offered to take the Western
extract and experiment with 1t in their
own hospitNS, under supervision OF
Coffee and Humber.
DR.. John A. Hartwell. president OF
the New York Academy Of Medicine, Of
fered the official cooperation OF the
academy for research in visiting New
York hospitals and laboratories.
But Drs. Coffee and Humber said
they could not accept, because they be-
lieved they should have also the priv
ilege OF treating a certain number OF
cancer patients in their own hospital.
Neither side would yield on the ques-
ton OF O clinic for the California doc
tors.

Your Health
Proper
Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

By Logan Clendening, M. D.
Mrs. T. j. M. is eager to
knew about the advisability Of
tho removal Of embedded wis
dom teeth and of roots of teeth
that have been left in the jaw.
A particular case which she
recounts is that Of a patient
with a part Of the apex Of a
root remaining in the lower
jaw some years after a molar
tooth had been pulled. The
root had evidently been broken
off in the process, the tip re-
manning behind.
The patient has some symp-
tor supposed to be due to
local infection, but the .X-ray
of this root tip shows no
evidence of infection or gran.
u,--.a or of bone raretication.
Difficult Questions
The questions are not easy
ones to decide. Medical opinion
on tk, subject has swung from
one side to the other and is
still swinging back and 1ortn
at the present time. There are
some who think that all such
remnants should be removed;
others who think that they
should be removed only under
tho direSt necessity,
Far be it from me also to
attempt to give advice concern
ing a situation 1 have not
seen at first hand. The opln-
ion of the doctor on the case
is always the best. But &C
cording to Mrs. M. he also is
puzzled, and under those Cir
cumstances some general opln-
ions can be safely hazarded.
What Science Discovered
It certainly is possible for
tooth roots to be broken OF
and remain in the mouth a
long time without doing any
harm. Several German inves-
tlgatorS, among Cnem IoIUAAeO'
have made sections and put
under the microscope tissue
from jaws in which retained
root stumps have been en-
bedded for years. They were
plenty of them without evil
dence of infection and some
times they had grown to the
bone.
But in general we know that
a. foreign body or foreign piece
of tissue which does not OBJ
tain a blood supply from the
tissues where it is embedded
will cause trouble. It is called
sequestrum, and tends to form
pus around it and be a source
of great irritation. In the
case of a broken tip of a
tooth root, however, it might
be that this would be, broken
off during the extraction with.
out severing it from it's blood
supply SO that it would not act
in the nature Of foreign body.

Who hasn't dresses hanging
in the closet that need a fresh
ening touch, about this time of
year? We wonder, too. who
else is guilty of owning dresses
short a button-or even two?
And who, besides us, has
found herself deciding not to
buy a dress just because the
buttons seem to spoil the ef.
feet?
Button Button
We wish we hadn't lived so
long without knowing the SIM
pie secret that will solve all
these and lots of other clothes
problems. We mean, Of course,
just buying a set Of buttons
and the buckle that matches
them. For, though buttons
look like ordinary ornaments
enough, we've discovered they're
the quickest means OF put
ting chic into a costume-the
surest way to make or break
it! And there's not a single
kind of trim this season that
fashion thinks is smarter on
dresses for general daytime
wear.
Classic English
We were needing most OF all
a very tailored type of trim for
the simply tailored dress you
see sketched above at the LETT,
and the galilith button illus
trated with it is our ideal
choice. It's an English pattern,
the kind you associate with
tailored English clothes. In
fact, this very pattern might
have been made in England,
200 years ago-it's that classic.
That oblong groove in the
center which the thread goes
through is called a fish eye"
and the ring around the but
tons edge adds that much more
to the tailored air. In sany
color, there are three distinct
sizes, the largest suited best to
The Washington times., 1931-11-25

a dozen. The next size is about
$1.20, and the smallest 60c
dozen.
We're used to seeing metal
trim on hats and bags and shoes
and everything. but we hadn't
tried to carry the ensemble into
dress trim-until this week. We
found flat round metal buttons
in either gold or nickel that
come in almost any size, priced
from $1.00 to nearly $3.50 a
dozen. And the incest thing
about these discs-besides their
smart appearance - is that
they'll never tarnish, not a bit.
It's the type Of button worn
many years ago by European
peasants to adorn their national
costumes. The matching oval
buckle with a metal prong costs
only about IS cents. Both are
illustrated on the surplice
blouse toward the right.
Instead OF, Wood
There's a popular wood-button
fashion, too, of course, and we
found something right in line
with it that we like even better.
Illustrated on the right above
) are nice, thick, French ivory
buttons in a satin finish to
look like wood. Each one is
divided by a groove and thinned
off on each side in a two-tone
effect. They're a little more
expensive than the others, but
they're worth it, every bit. The
smallest size is about $2.25 q
dozen. There are two medium
sizes, and the largest is around
$3.50. The scanning in the
dress we've sketched points to
the squariSh matching buckle
which costs around $1.25. These
buttons look especially nice on
coat dresses and on coats.

For
Buttons

coats and suits. The price Of
each button that size is about
IS cents. The two smaller
sizes are meant for trimming
dresses-the smallest on the
sleeves, if you like. They cost
about 75c a dozen. and the
medium size about $1.20. The
buckle to match is really a
very tailored slide, as the illus
tration shows. It comes in
several sizes, too, costing from
about IL cents to 20 cents
apiece.
French Shell
No matter what we'd planned
to buy, there vas no resisting
8 the humorous half-moon look
Of the buttons in our second
sketch. The design is French,
taken from shell, and worked
out in celluloid. Half the but
toms white, with radiating
lines in the color Of the other
side-which, is almost any one
you'd like. The little loop
underneath for sewing the but
ton, on, called the shank. is
made of self material. There
are four sizes, ranging from 81
to SO a dozen in price. We
bought a medium size to accen-
tuate the intricate diagonal
lines Of the dress above. That
cunning clasp, as you see from
the sketch. is made Of two ex-
actly matching buttons hooked
together-in two sizes, soc ant
75c each.
Hard Cushions
When you're using lots Of but
tons on a dress, they can't be
very large, \but they're smart
and new if they're high. We
love the squarish cushion-shaped
buttons that turn diagonally at
the belt Of the two-piece woolen
dress in the center UP above.
They're made Of brightly colored
galilith, and yet in the largest
size, they only cost about $1.75

Advice to the

Second Hand ROmeOs

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of 18 and I am
in love with a married man.
He is always asking me to 60
out with him. I would love to
go but I am afraid. I am a
very good friend of his wife,
and I wouldn't want her to
know it, or to be disloyal to
her. Please help me.
DAILY READER.
In refusing to go out with a
married man. you show your
good Judgment and common
sense. Besides being disloyal
to his wife whose friend you
are, to go with a married man
at 18 years of age, is like TAX
ing something secon d-h a n d

Haven't you some mutual
friend who will introduce you
to the young lady? That
shouldn't be difficult as you
say you see her almost every
day. Who are her friends? =?
Can't you become acquainted
