is too general in nature is the fol
lowing query, received by the
Bonus Editor tdoay:
Us the beneficiary Of a sol
der who was killed in the
World War entitled to a
bOnuS?"
The person sending in this
question gave no name or ad
dress, and in the future such an
onymouS queries cannot be an
swered. However, the question is
typical of the "non-anSwerable'
type that it will be dealt with
today.
The answer is that, outside OF
the fact that a beneficiary can
not receive a bonus unless the
soldier himself was eligible, nc
general rules giving sufficient in
formation exist. Each such case
is purely individual, and much
depends upon many details, such
as the relationship Of the benefit
ciary to the soldier, whether OF
not the soldier designated the
beneficiary, etc.
Answers to signed letters, &C.
companied by a stamped-self-ad'
dressed envelope, will be promptly
mailed by the Bonus Editor. De

stances. however, in the event the
question involves research on the
part of the Bonus Editor or the

answers, will appear in The

By DR.. w. D. Brown
BIOPSY

Any abnormal growth is con-
sidered a tumor. The important
fact to know is what kind of tumor
is present. Some tumors cause no
trouble as for example, the COM
mon wart. Others present a seri-
Gus threat to life. The term can
Ger is applied to a group of tumors
which have a tendency to grow
rapidly and to spread to other
parts of the body through the
blood stream or lymphatics, or by
direct extension to neighboring or
gans.
The group Of tumors that are
not cancerous to begin with are
usually not an immediate threat to
life. Many never become so. Some,
however, may later become can
cerous and then offer an immediate
danger.
The medical profession, through
wide observation and experience,
have formulated some definite con-
illusions about the activity and po-
tentiality of each type of tumor.
Much of this evidence has been
gained, of course, through trial
and error methods. You probably
have heard it said many times that
if a cancer is diagnosed early
enough a cure can be effected by
surgery, x-ray, radium, or a COM
bination of these.
This early diagnosis can be made
by biopsy. This means that a
piece of the suspicious tumor must
be cut out and examined under the
microscope. This gives the tumor
expert an opportunity to see the
exact composition of the tumor and
to determine whether the individual
cells are characteristic of typical
cancer cells. When a positive
diagnosis is made in this way, be-
fore there are any effects on the
general body economy, then eradi-
cation of this small focus will be
followed by a complete recovery of
the local area.
Insist on a biopsy Of suspicious
growths that tend to progress.

tainment of the rally's objective. The
committee and the leaders III these
states affairs have announced this
movement aims at reviving the spirit
of Southern progress and unity and
at crystalizing sentiment for steady
advancement toward the solutions of
the Southern problems affecting the
general welfare
Hundreds Of outstanding men and
women of these states for several
weeks have been working in behalf
of the Green Pastures Rally and this
movement to start the South on
new forward push with the approach
ing return of good times. These men
and women will be in the throng at
the rally, which will be given thrill
ing and colorful aspects by the pres
ence of regular army and national
guard bands, hundreds of uniformed
militiamen of the two CarOlinas and
number of musical organizations
composed of young men and women
from high schools.
While the address ny the President
from platform in the vast, newly
completed American Legion stadium
will be the climax IF the rally Thurs
day afternoon, the elaborat9 program
of rally events Will include brilliant
but informal reception Wednesday
evening and luncheon Thursday
noon. The women's committee ar
ranged the reception, which will be
attended by many early arriving dis
these seven states.
AT the luncheon, to be presided over
by Cameron Morrison, of this city,
former governor and former United
States senator, number OF nation
ally known men and women will
speak briefly. The expectation here
is that their remarks will deal chief
ly with the significance of the rally,
which has come to be recognized as
one unique in the recent history of
the South.
President Roosevelt is scheduled to
arrive in mid-afternoon He will be
accompanied by a group of men high
in the nations affairs. Cavalry troops
will escort the chief executive in the
procession to the stadium along a rs
block route gaily decorated with pat
riOtic colors
Evidence of the, nationwide interest,
in the rally is the fact that the press
will be represented by more than 100
men and women and the motion pic
ture industry will have eight news
reel cameramen, for whom reserva-
tons already have been made by the
central committee on specially con-
structed platforms.
Governors of the seven states have
indicated to the general committee
their intention to join the rally day

Average Man goes in and out of the
heart once every minute.
Here are impressions Mrs. Eliza
beth F. Smith, Mesa, Ariz., has of the
Average Man:
His days are mostly spent away
from home working. When he re-
turns home he usually is mentally
and physically tired. He expects his
wife to be home and his dinner ready.
He doesn't like for her to meet him
at the door with details of young
sters' misdeeds or the days mishaps.
If she does, he becomes grouchy.
After dinner, however, his mood is
pleasanter. His idea of comfort then
is to divest himself of unnecessary
clothing and set down with his pipe
and daily paper. The paper mustn't
be torn or disarranged. He turns
first to the sports news, then to the
comics. He goes to the movies when
his wife persuades him to take her.
Then he goes to bed and nothing less
than a five alarm fire can awaken
him.
If in the morning his wife COM
plains that youngsters were out un-
til late hours, he shrugs his should
ers and guesses they are old enough
to take care of themselves. He thinks
it is unnecessary for her to stay UP
with the children so much at night
and that most of their ailments exist
chiefly in her mind. But when he
gets sick!
You'd think from outward appear
ances that he didn't care for his chill
of s,,Tn
on their rights, or let one get into
trouble, and he'll stand by them
through thick and thin. His onlv
worry is whether he'll be able to pro-
vide for all his family's wants. He
doesn't want his wife to work. He's
liable to espause any political scheme,
however sound, that promises secur-
ity for his family. He believes this
country should stay out of European
arrangements, and prepare for no
war except i1vasions. He no longer
votes for party because his father
did, but now votes for a man rather
than a party liable. He doesn't like
for persons to try to change his mind
about political questions.
He abominates any disturbance of
domestic routine, such as hCuseclean-
ing, but expects his home always to
be spick and span. He feels his wife
and children can attend to all the
FAMILY church-going and religious du-
Ties. He's more concerned with what
is going to happen to his wife and
children than to his immortal soul.
No troubles or business engagements
can keep him away from important
sports events He wants his xuifo m
be first of all a companion, second
ly a mother, thirdly a homemaker.
and only incidently a business part
ner He is honest and hates debt.
He wants no dole, only a chance to
work. He wants his children to be
better educated than himself. He
doesn't believe in INDUCING children,
he says; but~ahe, is more disposed to
spoil them than his wife"
