Polish Red Cross
Mission, Stranded
Here, Presses Relief
Visits District Chapter
To Help Organize
Unit of Volunteers

Two high officials of the Polish
Red Cross, stranded in this country
by the European war while on q
mission to obtain relief supplies, to-
day visited the District Chapter of
the Red Cross to see what is being
done for Polish sufferers and to
help organize a Red Cross unit of
Polish volunteers in this country.
They are Gen. Alexander Osinski,
president of the Polish Red Cross,
and Miss Anna Paszkowska vice
president of the Polish Junior Red
Cross. The visitors were on the
North Atlantic when war was de-
clared, and do not know when they
can return to their native land.
They were accompanied on their
visit 10 the work rooms of the chap
ter house at 1880 E street NV. by
w. WankoWicz, counselor of the
Polish Embassy, and Mrs. Wankowicz
and Mrs. Andrze Chramiec, wife of
the military attache.
Plans for Volunteer Unit.
Mrs. WankoWicz and Mrs.
Chramiec made plans to form Red
Cross unit of Polish women to pre-
pare surgical bandages and hospital
clothing for the soldiers and warm
clothing for the refugee population.
They asked volunteers wishing to aid
in the work to communicate with
them through the Polish Embassy.
Miss Paszkowska told her fellow
Red Cross workers: 1T is difficult
for us to be away from home when
our countrymen are so much In
need of help. We will return by the
first possible means and in the
meantime will do everything we can
to secure Red Cross relief for our
people"
Special Boxes Assured.
The Polish Red Cross already has
requested hospital garments and
bandages. Volunteers are being added
to the staff daily as the war work
increases the routine duties at the
headquarters.
The Polish women anXiouSly in
ouired of Red Cross officials whether
there was a possibility the material
they prepare might be sent else
where than Poland.
They were assured the material
assembled would be packed in spe-
cial boxes labled for Poland.

were at work at the sewing and cut
ting tables when the visitors were
shown through today.

Two Major Victories
In Cancer War Told
At World Congress
SuperoItoee x-Roys
Better Cure; Earlier
Diagnosis Possible
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept,
15.-Supervoltage X-rays are curing
human cancers that showed no i'm
provement under the milder X-rays
to which the medical profession had
been limited until recently.
Evidence of the better results
from the high-power rays, of half a
million volts or more, was reported
to the Third International Cancer
Congress today by DR.. Albert
Soiland Of Los Angeles.
With new million-volt X-ray ma
chires going 10 in a dozen places
in the United oates, there is a con-
troversy whether they cure any bet
ter than lower-power rays. It is
admitted they penetrate deeper and
do not burn the skin so much, but
biological guinea pig" tests have
failed to show any curative differ
ence.
Human beings show the difference.
DR.. Soiland said. The voltage
rays are kinder to them than to
guinea pigs He exhibited pic
lures of considerable number Of
human cases where the super
voltage rays had wiped out all traces

Early diagnosis. before it is too late
to save life, is one of the great
goals in cancer and this report of
a new method Was made to the
cancer congress today by Drs. z Ell.
Pfeiffer and George P. Miley of
Philadelphia.
The steam from the two cups
turned to frost on the window, but
the shapes of the two frost pat
terms were not the same. DR.. Milev
noticed this and asked himself if it
might be possible that frost pat
terms of blood, from cancerous and
healthy humans. would also be
different.
That was IA years ago, in his boy
, hood home in Basic, Switzerland.
when he was 25. 1t has taken IA
years and work on two continents
to get the answer. For blood does
not frost"
But when 1t is mixed with copper
sulfate, the copper forms a greeO
crystal frost patter on the surface
OF a glass dish. And the blood
modifies the shape of this pattern.
This is what DR.. Pfeifer TODAY
showed the cancer experts from
many countries.

A tiny drop of healthy blood mixed.

an equally tiny drop of human
cancerous blood makes a frost" pat

Before he could demonstrate this
DR.. Pfeiffer had to make, with his
own hands. 100000 copper sulfate

one such flake to set" as the metal
slowly crystalliZes.
He and his associates have now
analyzed 1900 samples of known
cancerous human blood. The copper
crystals have been 80 per cent ac-
curate in this human diagnosis. d

have been 80 per cent correct for

In mice tests. the copper has dis

 Physicians and mental specialists predicted that she would be normal in a year. Now the year is almost up. And pr.

Alice was, you see, kept in a half reclining position and fed only soft foods.
 She seems to lack ambition, so says Dr. Davis. and lacks training. One is dependent on the other.
 After all we have learned about the innate urges of babies and growing children that develop al- most in spite of us, it would seem that science has been all wrong.
 But not SO. In this childS case, evidently the natural ambitions to play and exercises, to try out mus cles and noises, and revelop dexter ity with hand and fingers, feet and toes, were all present as in any other baby. But without the oppor- tunity to use them, they atrophied or dried up and disappeared. Now she may never reach the stage of normal receptivity. She may even be unable to use her faculties at all

At one time it was so general in Europe that there was a saying, Always take good care of the hus- band while ris wife is giving birth to 8 baby" pr.

As soon as the baby was born 1t was washed, dressed and placed in bed with the father, who immediately began to moan and complain of pains.

the subject of experience as 1t con- cerns all young children.
 Training Parallels Growth
 The child builds. It adds layer on layer to the original foundation and eventually a structure of physi- cal and mental strength emerges. And training must accompany the different phases of growth. AS the child understands and his field of reason enlarges, more and more may be expected of him in the way of conduct and character.
 His natural ambitions will extend beyond the accustomed rut. He will reach out, try new things, gain his victories and learn what is safe to repeat and what is best abandoned. He cannot do all this without liber- ty, a carefully measured liberty, and he cannot do it without guidance, example and precept. He cannot be kept back too much and he should not be permitted license.
 Liberty means both activity and control. His prowess in mental and physical things will depend upon the means put at his disposal to learn. A good home life, education, friends, and individual experience are the best things for any child to grow on. He needs them all if he is to advance.

MANNERS HELP FAMILY WIN SOCIAL STANDING

What a help socially to be one of a family known for its well-bred behavior! The Smiths observe the fine points of etiquette in company and at home.
 When they meet the important Mrs. Jones at the club, Mrs. Smith knows it's correct to introduce her daughter before her husband, so she says, "This is my daughter Faith, Mrs. Jones'" Women, even young girls, are always introduced before men.
 MT. Smith she introduces with Mrs. Jones, may I present my husband?" She'd never refer to him as MT. Smith"-eXcept to servants or tradespeople.
 The Smiths make such charm ing impression that Faith will surely be asked to the dance Mrs. Jones is giving for her daughter.
 And Faith will fit easily into the Jones circle. She's accustomed to courtesies from men, for MT. Smith opens doors for his wife and daugh- ter, helps them with their wraps. When Jones, Jr., sends flowers, Faith will telephone at once to thank him.
