EurlY Recognition
OF Cancer Signs
Big Step In Cure

Familiarity with the signs of
early cancer, and the yearly ply
steal examination were cited by
DR.. Eva Dodge, obstetrical con-
sultant with the maternal and
child health division of the Mis-
sissippi State Board of Health,
as the two most promising wea-
pons in the fight against this dis
ease. Dr.. Dodge spoke in the in
tereSt of the Kinds County Wom-
ems Field Army against cancer
of which Mrs. Luther Manship is
director.
Every person should know the
six danger signs which may
mean cancer" DR.. Dodge said.
These are; a lump, no matter
how small or painless, any irreg-
ular bleeding from any part of
the body openings: a persistent
cough or h~oarseness not caused
by cold; any digestive distress APP
pearing in a person IS or over;
any sore that does not readily
heal; warts or skin blemishes that
change their form or rate of
growth. Even more important is
the yearly physical examination,
by which physicians may detect
early cancer and treat pfe-ean-
cerous conditions"
Although cancer is the second
highest cause of death in the
United States and fourth highest
IN Mississippi. it becomes incur
able only because of neglect or
delay, the physician stated, esti-
mating that three-fourths of early
cancers can be cured.
Commenting the work of the
American Society for the Con-
troll of Cancer through its Wo-
mems Field Army, DIR. Dodge
urged that special consideration

From The State
Health Officer

ConvaleScence, the gradual re-
covery from illness, is often the
most critical time for sick per-
son, since his desire to get back to
normal activities may exceed his
capacity for both mental and ply
steal effort Impatience, business
duties, social pleasures, or definite
disregard may be responsible for
carelessness during the period of
recovery. To refuse to follow the
physicians orders, however, be-
cause aches and pains have gone
and temperature is normal is to
run an unwarranted risk.
After an illness or operation,
physical feeling alone cannot de-
termine activity. This should be
governed entirely by the physi-
cans judgment. His advice is just
as important during the period of
recovery as it is during the period
of illness. Serious relapses can re-
suit from disregard of the care re-
quired after the acute illness has
disappeared.

Further Questioning
Awaits Panamanian
In Dorsey-HaII Case
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Dec "A
Panamanian actor-sailor and two
physicians who patched up Screen
Player Jon Halls nose will be
called to the witness stand when the
assault trial of Band Leader Tommy
Dorsey, his wife, Pat Dane Dorsey,
and a next-door neighbor, Allen
Smiley, is resumed Monday.
Deputy District Attorney Edwin
Myers said tonight he has some
more questions to ask the Pan
amanian, Antonio Icaza. who testi-
fed yesterday he saw Dorsey strike
Hall between the eyes with bottle
after a drinking party. Hall was cut
on the nose and the back of the
head.
Claim Conflicting Statements.
Hall admitted under questioning
that he wouldn't like to be con-
victed on the kind of testimony he
has given against Dorsey concern
ing the balcony battle which took
place August 5, when a number of
guests had assembled for a night
cap in celebration of Pat Dorsey's
birthday.
Isaac Pacht, counsel for the
Dorseys, and Jerry Giesler, Smiley
lawyer, had cross examined Hall for
hours on contradictory statements
they said Hall made at press inter-
views, at his attorneys Office, before
the grand jury, in the district at
torney's office and at the trial.
These statements variously quoted
Hall as saying he was (A) cut by
Smiley, OBJ cut by Dorsey, Co cut
by Mrs. Dorsey and Cd that he
really didn't know who cut him, or
with what.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1944-12-03

Icaza is the first witness who has
named a weapon which could have
inflicted cutting wounds-a bottle.
He didn't know where the bottle
came from, but he said there were
plenty to choose from in the apart
ment.
Guests included Singer Jane
Churchill, her escort, Bernard
Mitchell, a Chicago manufacturer;
Dorothy Nesbitt, a golfer; Actor
Eddie Norris and several others not
yet identified. Icaza said that they
all looked drunk to him. But Icaza
was sober, said Icaza; he put his
one drink on a table, untouched.
Hall and Miss Churchill have
testified there were some drinks, but
they didn't see any one intoxicated.

Surveys made by the American Association of Home Economists, and late report by Mrs. Phillip Crowlie, OPA's official housewife, show that textile buying remains a major quality buying n"oeram throughout the country. The next six columns of the Home Front Forecast are made up of clothes and textile buying advice from the Textile and Clothing Division of the Department of Agricultures Bureau of Home Economics. and from other authoritative sources.
 The National Consumer-Retailer Council, Inc, made up of leading consumer groups working with mer- chandising experts points out that clothing and textiles are a major item in the family's, and therefore the nations, budget. "The con- sumer," according to NORA, "can do something about these costs. Haphazard buying on her part will make them soar. Wise buying will make them drop"
 CONTROL IS LIMITED
 Textiles and clothing have proved difficult to control, both as to price and quality, short of con- plete regimentation of the indus try. or clothes standardization such as has been established in England.
 One U. s. effort at standardiza- ton was made in the children's clothes program allotting IS mill lion yards of cloth for specific use on children's garments, but it could go no further than writing in required amounts of cloth for each dozen garments to curb skimping. Donald Nelson. chair man of the War Production Board, has told one consumer group that he could not promise any in- provement of quality on these clothes.
 If the more pessimistic prophe- cies of the length of the war come true, there may be quality stand ardization of textiles to eliminate
