Snake Venom as Cancer Cure.

Because Of the universal existence
Of cancer, scientists all over the world
are engaged in search for q remedy,
but it seems that every lead In this
direction does not prove to be an
effective one. Experiments in France
seem to indicate that the venom Of
the cobra might be of some value in
scattering the growth. It seems to be
certain that injections Of the snake
poison have shown a tendency to re-
tard the growth of the neoplasms.

Grounded BY Nazis
On its arrival here with 48 pas

circled the field, offering a ma

A ground crew recruited from
the ranks of Nazi storm troopers
quickly caught the airship's ropes
on an order from Capt. Ernst Leh-
mann, commander Of the ship,
and hauled it to the ground, while
the passengers from their cabins
smilingly answered the cheers Of
the crowds.
While the Zeppelin was being

"Only young George Turner" her husband
muttered miserably. This second blow was al
most more than Mrs. Spratt could bear.

"Alice had just begun to forget him."

went off the road again. He spoke with an al

slight pause, "Say, that s new breed of hand

more Russian Princes left, or have they gone
out of style?"
mo matter what the style is, said Tony
softly, IF Alice wants it, want her to have

melted Arizona to an unprecedented softness:
She actually reached over and, for fleeting
second, laid her hand lightly on his knee.

The south terrace of the Spratts' mansion
made an imposing setting on which to serve

DO YOU KNOW ARIZONA VEST
A RIzoNA WEST came east to try her hand
~ at wrastiing living in the canyons of
Y New York.
Spratt's department store where she got
a Job as saleswoman, attempted to put
check-rein on her breezy western methods.
But Arizona soon convinced everyone that,
left alone, she could handle any situation -
from a horse to a honabre.
The boss's son. Tony. tumbled head over
heels in love with her, and even took job In
the store, Just to be near the beautiful, blonde
Westerner.
This complicated matters for Mamma
Spratt, who had social aspirations for her
only son.
So when Tony and his father insisted on
inviting Arizona down to the Spratt's summer
home on Long Island, for the weekend,
number of startling and amusing incidents
we're bound to occur; particularly after Ari-
zona met the Spanish Count who knew all
about raising bulls

stories of this series does not matter; each is
complete in itself.

Spratt declared positively Count

Toher amazement, Mr.. Spratt showed signs
of rebellion; not very active signs because
here, in the big house on Long Islands North
ern Shore, Mrs. Spratt ruled with an iron
hand. For once, however, the great depart
ment store owner whose word was law to
eight thousand employees in the city. was pro-
testing her dictum.
THE Count" said he, "is in democratic
country and besides, Miss West is not an or
binary shop-girl." His majestic spouse made
a gesture of impatience.
"Oh understand that" she said. And
was perfectly willing to have her down. es-
pecially as you've told me Tony seems to be
interested in her But, this weekend of all
times!
How can you spoil your own daughters
