Toll of Cancer in u. S.
Is Steadily Increasing

WASHINGTON Ravages of cam
Ger in the United States have al
most doubled over the past 40 years,
the census bureau reports.
Cancer is one of the few diseases
the mortality record of which has
grown steadily worse in that period,
the bureau records disclosed.
In the 40 years of the bureaus
records of death registrations, can
Ger deaths have totaled 3,115, 932-
almost equal to the population of
Chicago. Since the registration
area did not include the entire coun-
try until 1888, the number of deaths
from cancer in the period was even
greater than shown by the records.
The bureau estimated that if can
Ger fatalities were localized each
wear, a city the size of Des Moines,
New Haven or Fort Worth would be
wiped out.
The death rate per 100000 popula-
zion in 1900 was "a, while in 1910, it
was I20.3-almost double The
death rate per 100, 900 increases with
age from 4.8 under years old to

Stay Out of Debt

II you would live to a ripe oio
age, never fall in debt. This Is
the advice of Misao Chiba, editor OF
the magazine Long Life. After
spending eight years investigating
the secrets of longevity, he an
nounces the following results, In o.
der of their importance:
Of the thousands of persons over
80 years of age questioned through
out Japan, not one has ever been
heavily in debt.
The vast majority are always OPP
timistic.
All partake of plain meals.
Most are early risers.
These are the only points COM
mon to the majority of aged per-
sons, Chiba's QUESTIONABLE re-
veals. He adds that there is moth
ing secret about the last three points
for optimism frugality and early
rising have been regarded from an
cient times as essential factors OF
longevity.
As for the first point, that OF not
contracting debts, the investigator
claims that he has made startling
new discovery.

Even Japanese Beetle

As il we weren't having enough

Appearance of the tree scaven'

usually do not trouble commercial
orchards and forests, feast on snaoe

cur along the East coast from Wiz

New England.
DR.. Felt warns that trees and gar

insect aerial marauders, while trees
and shrubs growing in heavy SOL
with cold northern exposure are
more likely to escape the full blow o.

Rather SheddingS

Our RATHER sheds his skin three
times during the summer season
and is always dangerous during
these sheddings when, it is said, a
film covers the eyes and impairs' its
vision. Throughout this period it is
very irritable and is likely to strike
at anything-even a waving reed.
Another general belief is that the
rattlesnake always gives the warn
ing sound before striking. While
this is his usual custom, it has been
known to lash out without warning.
And while on the subject of the
rattle, no one really knows its pur-
pose. Certainly. it is not intended to
warn prey of his presence because
that would place it at decided dis
advantage in foraging for food. It
has been suggested that perhaps it
is used during the mating period to
locate their kind While they have
no external ears, they are not &C
tually deaf and probably half hear
and feel these vibrations.

Fish Next Brainiest

Next to men and the anthropoid
apes, Director George M. BREEDER
Jr. of the New York city aquarium
reported, the brainiest creatures in
the world are fish of the family Nor
myridae.
Mans brain is about one 5Oth of
his weight. He is closely followed
in this respect by the chimpanzee,
the orang utan and the gibbon. Next
comes the Mormyrid. For it's size,
it has more brain than a whale. It's
brain, DR.. BREEDER calculated, ranges
from one Sind to one 82nd of its
weight.
Normally, the Mormyrids swim in
the Nile river of Egypt. Because of
its dropping snout ancient Egyptians
called one member of the family the
elephant fish," and made it sacred.

Air Conditioner
Help to Miners
Controls Temperature and
Humidity; Has Other
Advantages.

PlTTSBURGH.-M who dig for
coal hundreds of feet beneath TIE
surface of the ground are benefting
rom the same air-cleansing primo
pie that keeps the office of their
president cool and dry.
Conditioned air for the miner was
IEaugurated recently at the Beech
bottom coal mine of the Windsor
POWER House Coal company on the
Ohio river above Wheeling, w. Va,
and the 500 men there who turn out
million tons of coal year to pro-
woe power for war production
plants in West Virginia and Ohio,
already profess to feel better"
Installed primarily as a safety
measure to reduce roof falls by
maintaining constant temperature
and humidity, the air-conditioning
also has provided a sorely needed
Improvement in the working condi-
tons of miners.
Solve Water Supply.
Air conditioning in mines is not
new, according to the United States
bureau of mines, which is keeping
close check on the efficacy of the
project, and encouraging expert
mentS have been made in Illinois
and Indiana mines in recent years.
However, a novel twist, which
means the solution of the water sup
ply problem encountered by many
mines, has appeared in connection
with the new air-cooling program.
Engineers say that rock falls,
which trouble all mines, are caused
oy expansion and contraction of the
rock, due to f1uctuation in the tenn
peratures and humidity, and varia-
tons between the inside and outside
temperatures, creating beads of con-
oensed moisture on the rock in the
summer and leaving the rock dry in
the winter. Rock falls-from a
pound to ton-invariably accom-
pany summer -drippings.
Other mines have used chilled wa
ter to bring the intake air down to
the desired temperature and give it
the proper moisture content.
Has Many Advantages.
Before releasing the exhaust air
from the mine, however, the Wind
sor plant, which has limited sup
ply OF spring water, passes the cold
air through the water that has been
warmed in the original process,
thereby cooling it for another air
chilling job.
The installation of air-conditioning
provides control of a constant tenn
perature and humidity, and since it
has been in use, the inner surfaces
Of the mine have been dry.
Officials have pointed out that con-
troll of roof-falls results in several
beneficial factors; the elimination of
the mental hazard that slows up the
miner, the maintenance of produc-
ton at an even pace without inter-
ruption caused by injuries to miners,
and through improved atmospheric
conditions, the company is enabled
to make a larger recovery of coal
from its property, thus conserving
an important natural resource.

Girl Pilot Faints,
Ship Lands Safely
Learner Swoons Again on
Landing After Trip.

ANN ARBOR, MICH. Joan Tesch,
10 years old, who has had only
four hours of solo flying time,
was under treatment for severe
shock today as result of her har-
rowing experience in flying uncon-
scious in her trainer cabin plane
for full hour last night.
Dwight Reynolds, manager of the
Municipal airport, and Robert
Young, the girls instructor, went
aloft In their own planes to investi-
gate why Miss Tesch kept circling
the field. They were Mortified when
they saw her slumped against the
side OF the cabin, unconscious. i,
They flew around for several min
utes, then came down and made
preparations for a crash landing. A
sheriff's ambulance was called to
stand by. Fire extinguishers and
first aid equipment were brought
out. Dusk gave way to darkness.
Still the plane circled aimlessly.
Finally, an hour after her takeoff,
Miss Tesch regained consciousness
and tried for a landing. Groggy
from her experience, she twice
missed the field. On the third at
tempt the motor stalled when her
gasoline supply ran out, and she
landed without lights in farm field
adjacent to the airport. The plane
stopped when it bumped into fence.
Stepping from the plane I'M
scratched, Miss Tesch tainted again
before she was taken to the hospital.

Soldiers on Leave Have
Real Comedy of Errors

A recent visit to Philadelphia to
pay court to the ladies fair was
mostly comedy of errors for Sergt.
Robert Park and Stanley Buza of
Camp Davis, N. c. Making the trip
by car, they took along a group of
their buddies, among them Private
First Class Robert Mullins. Null
Inns destination was Washington, so
when the party reached the ma
tons capital, he climbed out and
the others went on. Only thing
wrong was that in the dark Mullins
had taken the wrong Gladstone out
of the car. Thus, when they
reached Philadelphia, Park and
Buza found themselves with one
pair of clean pants between them
Mullins Buza's heartthrob was
waiting for him at Philadelphia, and
Parks was in Wilmington, Del, so
they had to flip a coin to see who
got the trousers-and Park won. But
don't think they didn't get back at
Mullins in the end. Since their
shaving equipment was absent in
Washington along with their clean
clothes, Park and Buza proceeded
to use Mullins toothbrush as shay
ing brush. Then, to top off the
whole performance, in the rosy glow
of parting from their women-folk,
both Park and Buza forgot all about
Mullins luggage, climbed into the
car and drove off to Washington to
hand the key to his suitcase to Null
Inns and announce that it was still
roosting in a hotel nearly 200 miles
away!

Nimble Fingers Obtain
Attractive Wardrobes

Woman, woman, save those
clothes. repair the ones you tore;
you're likely to be needing those be-
fore you can buy more.
Those are suggestions from Edith
Berry, clothing specialist, Ohio
State university, who says women
with nirnble fingers can have attrac-
tive wardrobes without buying many
new garments.
The pertinent questions to ask
when considering the remodellng of
clothes are whether the seamstress
has the time and skill, how much
the remodeihg will cost, and
whether the completed garment will
be satisfactory. Most women will
DE content with changing the minor
details of garments to give them a
freshened appearance.
New collars, recut necklines,
wide necklines filed with lace or
fabric frills, refitted shoulders or
armscyes, changing waistlines,
streamlining skirts. and reShaping
sleeves are tasks within the ability
of most women. The cost of these
changes can be kept down, and the
remodeled garment will have a
changed and pleasing appearance.
Remodeling jobs that involve rip
ping out the old garment, cleaning
the fabric, and recruiting the cloth
require more experience In sewing.
The work becomes more difficult il
the fabric is worn in spots so allow
ances have to be made for this con-
dition in recruiting.

Less Salt for Salt Lake

Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah,
have decided that they want to be-
come industrial towns, and have just
about decided to unsalt part of the
Great Salt lake so that the fresh
water may be used, together with
native coal, to generate power with
which Utah's treasures of zinc. lead,
copper and iron, still in the nearby
mountains, may be processed at
home.
The lake contains from IA to Is
per cent salinity, depending on the
water level. 1t is constantly receiv-
ing fresh water from the Jordan,
Bear and Weber rivers, but the wa
tiers cannot escape, so the minerals
continue to accumulate until the sol
ids in Great Salt lake are in almost
a saturated solution.

Gardeners Should Not Be
Discouraged by Leaf Loss

If wind, hail, or insects strip half
or even more. of the leaves from
vegetable crops at this season, vic
tory gardeners should not be dis
couraged.
Under favorable conditions, the
damaged plants still will produce a
good crop.
Storms are hazards which market
gardeners continually face, and in
sects have to be kept under con-
troll, he added. The recovery which
plants are able to make from appar-
ent ruin is remarkable, and in some
cases they seem to be benefited by
hard usage.
Yields of snap beans in tests con-
Quoted in 1889 and again in 1910
were actually improved when one
fourth OF even one-half of the leaves
of the plants wete removed during
the growing season, Dr. Stout point
ed out. In 1889 when no leaves were
removed, the yield was 307 bushels
per acre. When one-fourth of the
leaves were picked off on May 80,
the yield was 269 bushels, but when
one-fourth of the leaves were re-
moved from other plots on June
and Is, yields were 329 and $50 BUSH
els respectively
Loss of foliage also has been test
ed on tomatoes by DR.. Stout. In
no case has the reduction in yield
been so great as the loss of leaves
unless the plants have been two
thirds defoliated or more.

Tale of Phantom Visitor
Mystery After 100 Years

The brick house of mystery ro-
mancR, at 131 Tradd street, In
Charleston, S. c., was built about
1900. It is situated in the midst OF
a friendly garden at the end of a
lane which stretches $50 feet from
the street.
II was the residence, for a num-
Der of years, of the late Arthur M.
Manigault II. It is now owned and
occupied by his sister, Miss Mary
H. Manigault.
The house, with its characteristic
Charleston piaZzas, has a simple
dignity. 1t is two stories on high
basement, its bricks are laid IN
Fleming bond and it is covered with
slate roof An unusual decorative
feature is incorporated in the Chin
ney masonry, writes Francis b.
Taylor in the Charleston News and
Courier. The bricks are set to form
a cornice around each, conforming
to those on the east and west ends
of the house.
The houses history enfolds not
only ghost, but an unexplained
romantic mystery as well. The
ghost is an unusual wrath, who
moves in modern ways his eerie
duties to perform. Occupants for
generations have told of hearing ar
equipage come charging down the
lane, first accompanied by the sound
of horses hoofs, but now with the
exhaust of an automobile engine
To those within doors, who hasten
to welcome an unexpected guest
there is no doubt of hearing some
ones progress toward the house
The door, however, swings open tc
reveal an empty threshold.
After a hundred years there is
yet no satisfactory explanation.

Cowbird Faster Than Pigeon


The cowbird has bad reputation.
It hays its eggs in the nest of other
birds. It is too lazy or too inefficient
to build its own nest. But in a race
starting at Chicago's municipal air
port, the little blackbird, known as
the cowbird, has beaten three car
rier pigeons at their own game It
was the winner in a 55-mile race and
it covered this distance in As min
utes, 80 minutes faster than the
homing pigeons.
The race settles an argument be-
tween the owner of flock of hon.
ing cowbirds and the president of
the Inland Bird Banding association,
who owns the pigeons. All of the
birds were released at the airport
at sos p. m. and one of the cow
birds reached the yard of its owner
at $50 p. m. Half an hour later the
pigeons arrived at the premises
of their owner. proving they were
homing pigeons but that they were
slower than homing cowbirds.,
