outwardly, involved . simple principle.
Struck with the beauty Of the blankets
handmade by Araucanian Indians Of
Southern Chile, she attempted to
order one fashioned with q design Of
her own choosing. The Indian, proud
of his heritage and seeped in tribal
tradition, refused to vary the simple
styles which have been followed faith
fully for centuries. No price could
win him to . change Of heart.
A RAUCANIAN textiles are beauti-
IA full example Of the craft. They
are closely woven and have a
deep. rich nap. They are priced also
for their characteristic designs, the
blending Of colors and the quality Of
their dyes. It Is well to know quail
ity, however, for anilin dyes have in
recent years gained some favor with
the natives and replaced to some ex-
tent the vegetable coloring used for
centuries.
Close weaving Is an art which nature
forced upon the Araucanians. Per-
sistent rains at certain seasons Of the
year have led them to fashion cloth
and robes as waterproof as possible.
A variety of colors and striking pat
terms. make the garments gay and
lovely.
Ponchos usually are woven with
stripes or rectilinear designs. Some
times a Greek cross forms the center
Of the pattern, and others have small
squares with zig-zag sides. The back
ground is usually blue or black and in
bringing out the pattern, the Indians
use method which has been followed
for generations. Upon the wool that
is to remain white. the craftsman ties
strips Of leather or resistant vegetable
fibre. After the dying is completed,
the coating is removed.
THE experience of the Washington

not buy beautiful mementos on his

- PICING travel in any country
are the experiences one en-
counters in shopping. It usual
~ ly takes no more than q couple
OF trips to Europe to convince
even the monied American that shop
keepers and artisans often fix their
prices by hope rather than by value,
and that q trade can be struck at
lower figure. Ones bargains abroad
form the basis for much animated dis
cussion when travellers meet, and one
almost invariably shares his secret
shops and trading psychology with
friends who become addicts to the
game Of "bargaineers."
Americans, trained In the school OF
department store buying, where prices
are final, sometimes are reluctant to
try paying less than the figure first
asked, but soon find themselves looked
upon as novice travellers. Perhaps
they fail to recall, too, that the system
Of bidding an article down was prac-
ticed generally in American stores
until q generation or so ago.
John Wanamaker Is credited with
instituting the practice Of setting fixed
prices when he established his first
great department store. Before this
innovation, bargaineering was legiti-
mate part of shopping, and often rival
merchants engaged in the costly fun
of contesting for an individual sale.
The prospective buyer would shuttle
back and forth between nearby stores,
quoting the latest cut, and a $50
watch would finally sell for IS or less.
COUTH AMERICA is one of the
- delightful places where one can
add much to his shopping lore.
And in certain parts Of the country,
he can enjoy the novel experience Of
finding artisans who readily and
stubbornly refuse his money rather
than sell him what he wants.
A Washington woman, who recently
returned from a trip down the West
Coast Of South America, brings home
the story of shopping failure, which,

CATCH CANCER EARLY

ONE of the most dangerous things about
~ cancer is that people have been too thor
oughly persuaded that it is utterly incurable
Feeling that way about it, and fearing the mall
ady so greatly, many people fail to seek med
ical attention in time-and their fear of an
incurable disease is translated into fact.
DR.. Ira Kaplan, director of the New York
City Cancer Institute remarked recently that
fully 40 per cent of the cancer cases now being
cared for as hopeless would not be in that state
if patients were educated to seek aid from the
proper sources in time.
In order to provide that education, New
York health authorities designated the last
month as Cancer Month" Health authorities
are convinced that if both public and doctors
can be educated to recognize the first danger
signal; of cancer, and if the public can be
safeguarded from quacks, the cancer death
rate can be reduced

INJURED GRIDIRON HEROES

A YOUTH in blue sweater hurled himself
n upon a storm of knees in football game
last week. Knees smashed into his back, his
side and swept on He lay still on the side lines
while some one tossed a blanket over him.
At last they picked him up and took him
away to hospital where surgeons found
crushed kidney and removed it, Blood from
teammate was pumped into his shattered
frame.
He has a better than even chance to live
less than an even chance in life.
1t is unlikely he ever will play football again
and he is a professional football player. Doc
tors say he never will be strong again. His
team will pay his hospital bills, his salary for
the last game-and after that he must look out
for himself.
The situation obviously is unfair. It is even
more unfair in college football. Smashing knees
and shoulders take their toll. Boys leave
school with silver plates in their heads. They
leave with permanent headaches-some leave
in long boxes
The percentage of college football men
killed in action is not large, but the score of
permanent injuries is rather larger than the
public knows. The fact that there are any
demands action.
Most business firms are forced by law to
maintain accident insurance for employees.
Football has become big business. Hundreds of
thusands of dollars flow into university stadia
every autumn Saturday.
There is the constant plant that this money
is used to finance the fencing teams. the
wrestlers and the crew. Is not the injured food
ball player entitled to as much consideration?
At least he has earned the money.
College and professional football teams
should voluntarily take out insurance or set
aside certain portion of their receipts to build
up reserve fund to compensate. insofar as
money can compensate, young man for life
time damage. If they do not. legislation should
compel them to take this step as it did in
duStry.
After the cheers have died away and the
stadium has emptied there is no more romance
in a broken back received of tackle than
there is in a hand cut of in a factory.
