Nobody could tell from
the pictures that she
cared no more for the
baby than she would
have for a prop doll.
about the conversation I had with
Eddie Brand. He'll, you can't help
it If you aren't q born mother. "
WANTS BABY, NOW
81 am a born mother!" Arlene
suddenly screamed. "I'm as much
a born mother as any Of these
cows who are adopting babies for
publicity. We're going to get q
baby right now!"
Bill argued fervently against it,
managing with a terrific effort to
keep from laughing, and 10 hours
later they were on a plane with
Eddie Brand himself and headed
for Chicago. .
Every step Of that adoption was
preserved for posterity by news
cameramen and given due space
in the newspapers of the nation.
Arlene posed with Fran, q big, fat,
blonde youngster, sitting in her
lap, jerking at her $4,000 pearl
necklace and cuddled at her
breast.
And Arlene proved herself a
real actress. Nobody could tell by
looking at the pictures Of the two
together that she didn't care any
more for the baby than she would
have for a prop doll.
She figured she would come
back to Hollywood and forget all
about Fran. He would be Bills
headache. Bill could hire his
nurses and contact the best baby
specialist and pore over diets and
numerous hand books on the care,
feeingd and training Of babies.
But it didn't work cut that way.
Arlene'S artistic conscience inter
vened. What did a man know
about babies? That was q woman'S
job. And Arlene believed IN doing
any Job we'll.
Maybe everything would have
turned out all right If Fran hadn't
developed collie. It made Arlene
good and mad because she had to
sit up one whole night.
That wouldn't have been so bad
If 1t hand't been fo1 the fear.
Watching the child's agony, she
was sure she was going to lose
him and the thought was like q
stab Of ice.
The trained nurse she had pro
cured found herself relegated to
the job of giving orders that Ar
lene-and only Arlene-carr1ed
out. She wouldn't let her touch
Fran. When he got all over his
sickness she found that she had
formed the habit Of thinking OF
him. Thinking Of him?
It was an obseSS'on Every mo-
ment she wasn't busy acting she
was either calling her home OF
spending the time with Fran Ia
his nursery or on the grounds OF
her palatial home.

never was a child so strong OF

Nobody can tell you why Arlene
Frantray started to slip. It was
during and shortly after, "Old
Wives In New Bottles" her NAM
moth super collosal feature in
which she appeared with Jack
Rainey and in which she was ex-
pected to net q million. She didn't.
The picture is now reposing in the
cans.
Arlene had a lot of reasons for
her flop in the picture. The story
was no good. Neither was Jack
Rainey. the director, the rest Of
the cast nor the camera man.
She admitted she wasn't feeling
well while they were making 1t
but she went on from there to ex-
plain that she and the part Of a
mother she played in it were not
sympatico. Which boilS down to
the simple statement that she
was temperamentally unfit to
swing the role.

ton or delay. He will make a care- full and painstaking analysis to de- termine whether or not the trou- ble may be malignant. If the trou- ble is not cancer, he will treat 1t ac- cording to his diagnosis. If it is cancer, or suspected of being can- cer, he will secure the additional advice of pathologist to examine for cancer cells, radiologist to take x-rays if necessary, and a surgeon to give an opinion of the surgical aspects of the case. Proper diag- nosis of cancer is not 8 lone man" proposition. There is no reason for objection to clinic treatment, since in all probability the same group of doctors will be called in consultation as under private treatment.
 Under Observation
 After treatment and discharge from the hospital the patient is re- turned to his own physician for fol- low-up observation unless 1t is necessary for the patient to return to tie clinic at stated periods for further treatment. In many cases, the family physician is in attend ance throughout the course of the illness.
 The policy of the Tumor Com- mittee of the State Medical society and the Division of Cancer Research of the State Department of Health is to persuade people who may have malignant disease or its fore-run- ming symptoms to consult their own physicians, who will arrange to have proper scientific treatment at cost within their means.

FOREMEN'S HOMES
 STONED TODAY

NorWood, Mass, March 30.-(UP) Homes of two foremen were stoned today as violence flared for the third consecutive day in a strike of 400 workers at the Win slow Brothers & Smith Tannery.
 Several windows were broken in the homes of Dennis Higgins of Norwood and John Fitzpatrick of Walpole. Police attributed the stonings to four strikers in 8 light colored sedan.
 The entire Norwood police de- partment and several reserve offi- cers were on duty at entrances to the plant as result of violence there yesterday.
 The strikers were arrested after crowds stoned automobiles leaving the Endicott-Street plant with ex- ecutives and office workers. Win dows in the home of John Hauck, a non-striker, also were broken by stones.
 The strike was called Friday by CLOS National Leather Workers Association because the manage ment refused to renew its contract on existing terms.

important because it will help to solve one of the country's foremost public health problems.
 1888 Message
 The message of the campaign will be tuberculosis Undiscovered En- dangers You" Emphasis will be cen- tered on the "You," for tuberculosis is Q serious problem to "You, the Individual" You" in relation to the family and "You" as member of the community.
 Practitioners, clinicians, state and local health officers, the United States public health service, and school officials will cooperate with the tuberculosis associations. Also cooperating will be large industrial groups. In Connecticut nearly 300,000 pamphlets on tuberculosis will be distributed to the people throughout the state and 10000 pos ters will be used.
 Year-Round Plan
 While tuberculosis associations carry on year-round activities in educating the public in the import ance of early diagnosis, the April campaign is expected to result in more intensive action on the part of local authorities and in further education of the public regarding the disease. The campaign is one the activities carried on by the commission and it's local affiliated groups through the income received from Christmas seals.
 "The use of tuberculin testing and X-raying as means of discovering tuberculosis in its early stages will be recommended. The goal is not only to detect the presence of tu- berculosis germs, which more than half of all people carry in their bodies, but also to find the disease early and to discover the sources of infection" Dr. Maher stated.

8 financial surplus" were counted among the accomplishments of Re- publican administrations, with no mention made of the approximate $17,00o,0 900 in deficiency bills or the state debt of two-thirds this amount contracted during the same admin istrations.
 "Weak Spots"
 Simultaneously, at Danbury, Gov. Wilbur L. Cross pointed to the state reorganization program and estab- dshment of a central purchasing de- partment which, he said, has saved the state $750,000 during the current fiscal year. He cited two weak spots," the Merritt Parkway grand jury investigation at Bridgeport and the Waterbury grand jury affair, re- marking that these are only spots and this is state of steady habits. !"
 State income, the governor said. has fallen off considerably due to the recession. But he said that he expected that the budget can be balanced.
 Also, at Hartford, last night, Lewis E. Goodsell, of Bethel, chairman of the Connecticut Young Republicans from the time of organization more than two years ago, said that he would not be candidate for another term. New officers will be elected at the state convention at Hartford April 9.
 
 Talbot Declines
 Joseph E. Talbot, of Naugatuck, vice-president of the state organiza- tion, also said that h would not be candidate for president but was named permanent chairman of the business session of the convention. U. 8. Senator H. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire will be principal speaker at the convention banquet.
 Sen. Bradley praised Chairman Goodsell's work for the Young Re- publicans following the announce ment that the chairman would not accept reelection. This, at a meet ing of the executive committee of the state organization at which con- vention committees were drafted.
 The name of Jame B. Lowell, Canton, secretary of the state or- ganization, was mentioned as pos sible choice of the convention for the presidency.

VALLEY PLAYERS
 TO REPEAT SHOW
Little Women" to Be Of- fered for Second Time
 Saturday Morning

Naugatuck, March 30-When on Saturday morning, April 3, at 10 o. clock, the Valley Players present their second performance of Little Women" 1t will mark the first time in the history of the club that they have attempted such presentation. They believe that the idea is 8 sound one, particularly in view of the nature of the play. Little Wo- men" is 8 story that has been uni- versally popular with children and the morning performance presents an opportunity for the youngsters to renew their interest in 1t.
 It might be well to note, in view of the fact that there seems to be some confusion regarding the point, that the Saturday performance will be given in the morning and not in the evening. Also the morning show will not be restricted entirely to children and all adults who will be able to attend Friday evening are cordially invited to visit the Gem theater April 2.

The physician of today is just as much concerned with the prevention of disease as he is in its cure, and for this reason a person who even suspects he may have cancer should not hesitate to consult a physician, the state department of health said in its weekly bulletin today.
 Moreover, the bulletin said, the day is past when it was considered improper or immodest to mention such diseases as cancer, tuberculosis or syphilis, so that frank and free discussion of such things with a physician and others immediately concerned is eminently preferable to suffering in secret. This does not mean that one should liscuss his or her ills with every casual acquaint- ance, but it does mean that knowl- edge that something is wrong, even though the ailment may be pain les sand cause few or no symptoms is sufficient cause to place the mat ter before doctor.
 Clinics Will Aid
 The question or expense Snoulo not be permitted to cause delay in the consultation. If there is a ques- ton of expense, the bulletin stated the tumor clinics in hospitals throughout the state enter the pie ture. The physician by inquiry at the nearest tumor clinic can find out whether or not his patient is entitled to treatment and how the cost is to be met. For those whose means do not permit entering hos pital as private patients, the clinics are available at a fee that may be only nominal. Through the so- cial service worker at the hospital arrangements satisfactory to all con- cerned can always be made. The fees are quite flexible.
 First thing to do, however, is to consult a physician without hesita-

population of the United States also has reflected this improve ment during 1897 and the first two months of 1898 is indicated by re- ports received by the insurance statisticians from reliable sources. Replies to inquiries addressed to state health and registration offi- cials by the insurance statisticians at the end of last year indicate that reductions in mortality for the population as @ whole were general. during. the. first nine months of 1887.
 The statisticians point out that with the single exception of cor onary artery diseases, every cause of death of major numerical irn- portance is running a lower death rate this year than last among the company's industrial policyhold- CTS. Outstanding declines regis tered for the first two months of the year have been those for in- fiuenza, with a drop of 68 per cent, as compared with the rate up to the end of February 1897; pneumonia, 37 per cent; tubercu- losis, IT per cent; automobile fatalities, 16 per cent; accidents all forms combined-13 per cent; diabetes, 12 per cent; and heart disease, per cent. While there have been mortality in- creases for certain minor causes of death, there is not a single major item in the 1888 mortality record through February which shows a considerable increase.
 Remarkably Low
 Among Canadian policyholders the remarkably low cumulative death rate of GA per 1000 was re- corded up to the end of Feb- ruary. This marks a drop of 7.3 per cent from the figure recorded for the first two months of last year.
 A direct indication that the mortality situation among the general population is showing great improvement over that in evidence in the early part of 1888 is the fact that in 86 large Amer ican cities only 89,544 deaths had occurred during the first 10 weeks of the year, as compared with 1O4,715 in the same period of 1887.

Westport, Conn, March 30-(UP) State park and forest commission members said today that lack of funds due to a tightening of the state purse has halted development of Sherwood Island as state-owned park and bathing resort. A building and land for the resort were pur- chased late last year by the state for $225, ,000, 8 sum approved by the 1897 general assembly.

Pendergast Proves Im= pregnable Against As-
 SauIt of COaIitiOnists

Kansas City, Mo, March S0- (UP)-Thomas J. Pendergast, head of the Democratic machine that has dominated municipal politics for 12 years, proved conclusively today that he still controls one of the country's most efficient organiza- tionS.
 Leader of the middle Vests "Lit- tie Tammany," Pendergast succeed ed where Tammany failed. Com- plete unofficial returns from yester- days city election showed that his organization won every office ex- cept one, gaining one of the two that 1t lost four years ago, despite a strong coalition opposition.
 Bryce B. Smith, the Pendergast candidate, was reelected mayor by a margin of 10000 votes over his Coalitionist opponent, Col. Freder- ick E. Whitten. Seven city council men and two municipal judges en- dorsed by Pendergast also won and by majorities that in most cases were greater than two to one.
 After Whitten conceded, Fender gast said:
 Under the conditions--as the newspapers of Kansas City and the Coalition party reported that the Democrat president of the United States, the Democratic attorney general of the United States, the Democratic governor of Missouri the bipartisan election board, were all against us-I think we made g very wonderful showing"
 On the eve of the election, con- ditions had appeared favorable fol an anti-Pendergast victory series of late developments, including g United States supreme court deci- sion affecting vote fraud trials, hao given Coalitionists what they be. neved would be the spark to defeat the administration.

 But the combination which the Coalitionists had contended would help them, failed. The only office won by Pendergast's opponents was a councilman's post in the second district southwest. Charles B. Woodbury, Coalitionist, defeated Quirk J. Bernard, Democrat, by ap- proximately 5000 votes.
 All of the Pendergast candidates won by margins wider than that of Woodbury's. Typical of the man. ner in which the administration candidates won their offices was that of Smith. He received an un- official total of 118,973 votes, to 75,- 336 for Whitten.
 In contrast to four years ago, when four persons were killed and numerous others were slugged, yes- terday's election was peaceful. Even the leaders in the Coalition move- ment conceded that it had been honest.

The 17,7Oo,000 industrial policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company during Feb ruary of this year established the lowest death rate for that month of which statisticians of the in- surance company have record. The February rate of 8.7 deaths per 1000 resulted in extending further a series of all-time low mortality rates for this cross-sec- ton of the wage-earning popula- ton, which started with May 1897 and continued unbroken through February 1888, with the exception of October of last year. In no other year, except 1892 when the February death rate dropped to 89, has the rate for this month among the policyholders fallen be- low g per 1000. :,
