NEW YORK, Dec. ga f1axen-
haired 18-year-old girl who sang
Morse folk songs to keep up the
courage of sailors huddled on the
bridge of sinking ship far out
in the Atlantic has been revealed as
the heroine of one of the luckiest
and most dangerous rescues in sea-
faring annals.
The girl, blue-eyed Svanhilde
Larsen, is the daughter of Capt.
Bernard Waldo Larsen of the Nor
Wegian freighter Smaragd, which
foundered Friday in a raging full
gale and hailstorm some 500 miles
southeast of New York.
Svanhilde, her mother and IA
ther and the Smaragd's crew of II
were landed safely at New Yorks
Battery Saturday by the American
rescue ship, the freighter Schodack.
AS survivors and rescuers pieced
together the full story of the sea
saga, high lights of the tale were
how the girl sang through a night
of terror as rising waters drove the
two women and 18 men to the
captains bridge, how an officer used
an ordinary f1ashlight to talk with
the rescue ship and how each res
cued person and dog had to make
dangerous jumps, one after an
other. into lifeboats tossing in 40
foot high swells.
Ship Far Of Course.
But possibly the most amazing
disclosure of all was the announce
ment by Capt. Clifton Smith of
the Schodack that if his vessel had
not been far off its normal course
all abroad the Smaragd probably
would have been lost. Because of
the heavy weather, the Schodack's
course to New York Harbor was
altered, thus bringing them within
4 miles of the hove-to Norwegian
boat and within sight of its crudely
made distress flares. The Smaragd
had no radio.
1t was leaking badly when sighted
Thursday night, but Capt. Smith
had to postpone rescue operations
until morning because of the high
seas and 65-mile- an hour wind.
During the night Second Officer
Ingwald Tindelund used a f1ashlight
to communicate with the radio Of
ficer of the Schodack. Tindelund,
who had not used the Morse code
for years, said, "It all came back
to me when I needed it most"
Il sang all the songs I knew over
and over again, until I thought I

COATESVILLE, Pa, Dec. 90
d.. Eleven-year- Earl Baker found
q new leg in his Christmas stock
ing yesterday-an artificial one.
The gift of sympathetic friends
in this community, it replaces the
right leg Earl lost eight months
ago when he took dare to hop
q moving freight.
A stranger told Earl shortly after
his accident that if he would COL
lect $4,000 match box covers he
could exchange them for an arti-
fetal limb.
So Earl started gathering covers,
only to find the tale was a hoax
and the covers worthless.
But Earl's story reached sympa-
'thetic ears. Mayor A. r. Berg
strom announced municipal Offices
were open for the collection of funds
to buy Earl leg. Within weeks
time the $3.50 needed was oversub-
scribed by nearly $3.50.

Exhibit Will Warn
Public on Possible
Cancer Causes
Non-Evosive Replies
To All Questions
Promised
- the Associated Press,


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-Or-
ganized medicine has set out to
teach the public that the cause of
cancer may lurk in about 40 innocent
appearing chemicals and even in
over-exposure of the body to light,
heat and other forms of radiation.
An exhibit at the Forthcoming
Golden Gate Exposition, opening
February 18, will list these sub
stances as we'll as the generally
recognized danger signs of the
disease.
Representatives of the California
Medical Association, sponsoring the
exhibit, said they would go into de-
tails about which physicians often
have been reticent because of ethical
considerations. They said they would
meet all questions with "non-evasive
answers"
The exhibit is under the supervi-
sion of DR.. Chauncey d. Leake,
head of the University Of Cali
fornia pharmacology department;
DR.. Alison Kilgore of the California
the State Medical Association, and
DR.. Milton Silverman, head of the
expositions science staff.
Derivatives of Coal Tar.
Most of the chemicals listed are
derivatives or impurities of coal tar
and some types of paraffln (not the
kind ordinarily used by American
housewives).
The coal tar products are used
to make aniline dyes, aromatic sub
stances and other articles coming
into increasing use with the ad-
vance of chemistry into industry.
Still another exhibit will show
how this chemical advance has de-
veloped an industrial cancer"
hazard.
This comparatively recent discov-
cry involves the sterols, mysterious
~ potent substances found in the
coal tar derivatives and in living
tissues as well. The sterols are
distant relatives of alcohol, but are
not understood as yet.
One division of the sterols pro-
> duces sex hormones, which govern
the degree of masculinity or fem
ininity in an individual. Still an
other division of these substances
was found to produce the appear
ance of cancer when applied to
animals.
Warning to Be Issued.
Following up clues like these, re-
searchers found cancer in workers
handling sterol-containing sub
stances. Because this hazard oc-
= CURED only in certain highly spe-
cialized trades, the result was cate
gorically termed industrial cancer"
The medical exhibit will warn the
public against excessive doses of
strong light and heat, such as in
sun bathing or overexposure to any
form of lamp rays, and against re-
peated contact with raium sub
stances.
Danger signs of cancer will be
stressed. The public will be ad-
monished to suspect wart-like for
nations which begin to grow; raised
black "moles"; Jumps on the breast |
sores in the mouth which fail to |
heal after two weeks and unaccount- |
able bleeding.
Cancer can be cured" said an
other exhibit pronouncement, "but
cure is possible only If the disease
Is recognized early and treatment
Is started before the disease has
spread"
Yv1,& Il, IL, {aN y, l,N%
cannot be contracted by contagion
or by the ordinary methods of in
fection, but that susceptibility to the
disease can be handed down from
parent to child. 1t will recognize
only three curative agents-radium,

Strawberry Crop
Best i'm Years

Strawberry harvest is at its peak
this week, with the finest crop 60
ing on the markets that the district
has perhaps ever seen. The berries
are unusually large, the cool wea-
ther up to now having been ideal
for berries. The warmer days are
making them ripen perfectly and
the yields are much heavier than
has been the average for the past
few years. Many patches are COM
ing into bearing this year, too,
which adds to the total tonnage.
Prices dropped rapidly after the
first day or two, but still shipments
are rolling in carload lots from the
several agencies handling the crop.
It is expected that a sharp drop
will be felt in the price over the
holiday, and arrangements are be-
ing made to ship to freezing plants
next week.
Asparagus shipments, after q
month Of light cutting, are begin
ing to strengthen. Daily receipts are
running around thirty tons, most Of
which is being shipped to process
ing plants, although several car
loads have rolled on the fresh mar
kets.
