Germs In Blood Fought
With Ultraviolet Raw

NEW YORK-A method of in
PRODUCING germ-destroying ultra
violet rays directly into the blood
stream was on display today at
the American Medical association
convention.
The new method was discovered
by Emmett X. Knott, a physicist
of Seattle, and DR.. Lester A.
Edbloom, of Eugene. Ore, after
several years of experimentation
with their own blood and that OF
animals.
The method consists in taking a
small amount of the patients
blood. exposing it to ultraviolet
rays for nine to IA seconds. and
then restoring the blood to the
patients system.
The treated blood acts like an
internal sun" on sick tissues.
Physicians from all parts of the
country report it has been tried
on several thousand cases of in
lection with good results.

Entertaining

Dear Miss Grey: 1t seems to me
that women should use more COM
mon sense and judgment when
they entertain. Take for instance
the matter of extra women" A
hostess will not only be alarmed
but positively on the verge Of q
stroke II she thinks she Is going
to have extra women at a party.
but she fairly purrs with satisfac-
ton II there are several extra men
70 present a delightful problem.
The whole idea Is silly mistake.
Married women who entertain will
even omit some OF their best wo-
men friends II they think there
win be more women at party
than men. They refuse to give
charming. witty, intelligent and
distinctive women an invitation IL
they think it will mean more wo-
men than men. and by 80 doing
they often spoil their own parties.
for such women can do more to
put q party across than many de-
sirable extra men.
A hostess can be sure that an
extra man will have no compunc-
ton about being late-and often
he has no regrets to offer IL he
doesn't show up at her party at

GOOD TASTE
TODAY
By EMILY POST

One Of the constantly repeated
why's" asked me by foreigners
visiting our country. as we'll as
by the readers Of this column in
foreign papers. is: why do
Americans, who are so efficient
in all matters Of time-saving. fol-
low such time-taking methods in
the handling Of knife and fork at
table ,"
That imp Charlie Mccarthy,
whose guest / was a short time
ago. brought up this same ques-
ton, and since then letters by the
score have been duplicates of this
one: Il heard you on the air some
weeks ago during which mention
was made about transferring the
fork to the right hand. II was not
quite clear TO me if this American
way is preferred, or not, to the
European way of taking food to
the mouth with the fork held in
the cutting position. l wish you
would carry on the discussion in
your newspaper column"
I can only repeat that I have
written many times: The ideal
way is to be able to combine both
methods and use both hands at
will. To lay down the fork be-
tween every mouthful, merely to
take it in the right hand to lift
food TO the mouth, is an absurd
affectation quite aptly called zig
gag eating. On the other hand,
TO hold the fork in the left hand
and then pile lot of food high
against the tines is a far from
pleasant sight.
Mother in Mourning at a Wedding
Dear Mrs. Post: Ny mother
would like To know what she can
wear at my wedding, which is
taking place four months after
the death Of my father. Mother
Is wearing mourning clothes now
and will be at the time of the
wedding. but she insists that we
60 on with our wedding plans
especially az the scene of the we'd
ding will be some distance from
our home. My fiancee is accord
ingly wearing a white brides dress
and veil and will have several at
tendants. Mother doesn't know
what she and other members of
my family who are in mourning
should wear at the church. There
will be no general reception after
ward.
Answer: The most suitable
thing for your mother to do is, l
think, to wear black and add
purple to her dress-violets. for
example, either real or artificial.
If the latter, she might possibly
wear a toque of violets. Or at a
summer wedding she could wear
all white. Other members of the
family might add white in the
same way that have suggested
the violet for your mother. All
white, by the way, is as deep
mourning as all black. Black and
white is second mourning. Black
with purple when worn by a
member of the immediate family
at a wedding) Is considered deep
mourning-but only on this par
ticular occasion.

She gave it to him, and stood
idly looking out the window down
at the busy traffic in the street
far below while he made his call.

Madge," Towne said, handing her
slip of paper. She read it, and
then stared at the writing. 1t read:

SUITCASE
From her car, she took suit
case she had packed before she left
the house, and carrying it with her
went to a large department store
which was only a block away.
There, in a rest room, she rap
idly changed hats, put cheap imi-
tation pearl clasps in her ears, a
gold necklace about her neck and
several silver bracelets on her left
wrist.
This done, she took a small
makeup kit from her purse and
applied more rouge and powder,
exaggerating her mouth with a
generous application of lpstick.
Satisfied with the transformation
of herself reflected in the mirror,
she slipped out of her coat and
turned it inside out.
1t was a reversible coat which
she had purposely worn. One side
was plain tan gabardine and the
other side which she had worn
downtown was plaid wool.
With the few changes she had
made she thought she would pass
muster on Court st. A bit too
highly roughed, but respectable.
She was certain no one who saw
her would ever recognize her az
Madge Kendall, daughter Of the
Reform candidate for mayor OF
Altonia.
1t was highly important that no
one should recognize her, and she
knew her features were familiar
to many people because her pic
ture had been in the papers in con-
nection with the Bryce murder.
No one would expect to see
Madge Kendall riding on a street
car, rather shabby suitcase by
her side, cheap, flashy hat on
her head and her cheeks glowing
with an unnatural color.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

" L. a
Madge was having her second
cup of coffee the next morning
and leisurely looking over the
morning paper when the phone
rang. II was Vic Waring. His
voice seemed slightly petulsnt.
"Oh. so you're all right. are
you ?" he inquired, bit ssrcas-
tically
What do you mean?" she
asked. He couldn't know about
her adventures Of the night before.
When you didn't show up for
our regular appointment, l secured
the town for you Waring said.
Il called and called your house, but
got no answer. Doesn't anyone
ever answer the phone there?"
Not after 10 at night, unless
Dad or I happen to be home. I
didn't get home myself till around
midnight, and I didn't hear the
phone ring"
II gave up about quarter to
twelve, and decided l was a fool
to worry. about you. Where were
you. any way, and why didn't you
show up?"
II thought you were out of town.
Your secretary told me"
you should be smart enough
not to believe what secretaries tell
you. That was the message l told
her to give anyone who called, but
naturally I'd notify you if
couldn't keep our appointment"
Sorry
I'm sorry" Madge said. I'll
know better next time. l really
accomplished something, though,
and I'm glad we missed connec-
tons"
what was it ,"
"I don't want to tell you until
I see you. Vic. I don't even trust
my own telephone any more"
The usual time and place,
then ?"
Yes. And be careful"
you be careful, too, dear" And
Waring hung up. If he had waited
for moment he would have heard
her quick intake of breath at his
endearing term.
Hilda, who stuck her head
through the door a minute later to
see if Madge wanted some hot cof-
fee, was startled out of her wits to
find herself suddenly seized by the
girl, dragged into the room and
waltzed around until she was dir
zy, while Madge kept singing, "he
called me dear, he called me dear"
who called you what? 2" Hilda
demanded, finally breaking loose.
She was breathing like caliope
at the unaccustomed violent ex-
ercise.
Vic Vic called me dear"
Madge explained, and then with a
laugh dashed from the room.
ut must be love-" Hilda told
Clyde later. II never saw her act
so crazy before"
Going Downtown
When she was dressed, Madge
walked through the kitchen ano
told Hilda she was going down
town.
Don't know when I'll be back
probably not till afternoon, any
way" she said, and walked out
the back door to the garage.
She visited her fathers office
first and learned that Forbes Ken
dali was in court.
He can't devote all Of his time
to politics." old Alex Towne, who
had been her fathers clerk for
more years than she was old, told
her. You know he has a pretty
big practice, and there are some
cases that can't be postponed until
he finds out if he's going to be
mayor or not"
Madge had known Alex since she
was a little girl, and she didn't
hesitate to ask him a favor with
no questions asked"
What is it?" he asked.

this laxative wonder. 1t seems
she had been to see a movie that
contained all the important ele-
ments ito her). 1t had sex APP
peal, society background, and
much wealth implied.
Now she couldn't say that she
saw the show and let it 60 at that.
but in her sing-song voice she pro-
ceeded to tell the whole story. i
could see that she irritated every
one and she should have been able
to see it, too. but / doubt II she
cared. She was too intent on let
ting everyone know how interest
ing and fascinating she found this
film.
For one hour she talked about
the good looks and talent Of the
leading man and woman and then
capped the climax by trying to
remember everything that was
said by members of the cast. She
pathetically repeated the jokes OF
the comedians which didn't sound
funny at all in repetition and
when she left the rest of US were
aot only annoyed but exhausted.

all. But she can almost count on
him either drinking too much or
getting off in a corner with the
most attractive girl there and do
ing nothing to make things pleas
ant for everyone else. Whereas
the extra woman can be counted
on to show up on time, drink in
moderation and to talk a bit with
everyone present, whether she like
them or not.
This country needs more extra
women. Too long they have been
considered liabilities. especially by
members of their own sex.
