in his unit. Marcosson's. Of course l don't
carry any weight, but do get to see him.
And if it would do you any good -"
She was so earnest that he didn't have the
heart to tell her he didn't care hoot whether
Marcosson saw him or not. He lit cigarette
and nodded with feigned enthusiasm.
"Well, l just meant %. could tell him
that you'd tried to see him." she said.
That would be swell" He patted her
hand But she missed the amused twinkle in
his eye At the moment she was looking across
the crowded room toward the bar, and when
Ted looked too, he saw Leila Nevins She
was lollng up against the bar. her arm slipped
cozily through the arm of tall, good-looking,
husky young blonde, and he saw them raise
their old-fashioneds in toast.
WHEN Ted turned back to Gwen she was
blushing furiously, and her chin was firm and
set. Hey" he said, the Duchess" He
looked at her wonderingly. who's the -.

"Oh. Of course. seem to remember. All

Leila's eyebrows climbed an inch, and her
shrug made it plain that she really didn't care

Leila smiled a quiet, triumphant smile.

TED DOVER started blithely down the corri-
dor. He didn't look like man who'd just
been snubbed - nor act like one. He walked
briskly, laughing right out loud.
Because less than month previous, Mar
cosson had bought his play that had run
hundred weeks on Broadway. The great man
had put him under contract too, to adapt it
to the screen, and paid his expenses to Holly
wood in the bargain. Here he was, hot off the
Chief and getting twenty-five hundred dollars
a week - and the man who was paying him
wouldn't see him without an appointment!
He laughed. So loudly that Gwen Brown,
who was getting drink at the corridor water
cooler, paused to look at him.
He saw her at the same time. A trim girl
with ash-blonde hair, the kind of eyelashes
that must have tickled her victims cheekbone
when she kissed, and everything anyone
could wish in the way of ankles
1t suddenly occurred to Ted that he was
thirsty, too, and when he joined her at the
water-cooler she smiled. IF it's that funny"

tried her best not to smile "Why?"

Recommendation 2. Expansion of public health, maternal and child health services. The existing CO., operative health programs between the federal and state governments should be expanded with the help of increased federal funds. All parts of the country and all groups in the population should be able to benefit from them. Expansion is especially important to prevent disease and to provide services for mothers and children. Approxi- mately 40 million persons in the United States live in communities which still lack full-time health services.
 Recommendation 5. Medical edu- cation and research. We cannot re- main satisfied with what we al- ready know about health or disease. The opportunities for further health progress are very large.

Prevent Mouth Cancer

Cancer rarely occurs in clean mouth. Women have better mouth hygiene than men, which may &C., count for the fact that there Is less mouth cancer found among them. Here are some sound measures to observe in the prevention of mouth cancer:
 1. VISIT YOUR DENTIST ERE QUENTLY: Have him smooth down teeth with rough edges and fill or remove decayed teeth. Bridges or plates which do not fit should be repaired or discarded. Have your teeth cleaned by him at least twice each year.
 2. KEEP TEETH AND ORAL CAVITY CLEAN: Avoid picking the teeth with abrasive objects such as toothpicks: use dental floss instead. Brush your teeth and gums regularly.
 3. AVOID LIP AND TONGUE TEMPTATIONS: Rough. hot pipe stems have caused many cases of lip and tongue cancer; avoid irri- tation by this source. Keep the lips from chapping due to over exposure to sun and wind, by pro- tecting them with some bland oint- ment such as vaseline or cold cream.

 (b) The salaries of commissioners and officers in the service should be sufficient to attract persons posses sing the necessary qualifications.
 (c) Provision should be made for practical training for newly ap- pointed conciliators. During such training, the newly-appointed con- ciliators should be assigned as ob- servers in the course of actual con- ciliation of variety of cases. Ade- quate facilities should be made available to assure. thorough knowl- edge on the part of conciliators of the policies of the service, tech- niques of conciliation, labor laws and industrial relations practice Current information services should be made available to all concilia- tors to keep them currently abreast of development in the conciliation service and to provide them with up-to-date information on current labor law and industrial relations practice. In addition, periodic re- fresher courses should be conduct ed in the interest of maintaining high standards of service.
 (d) The number of conciliators should be adequate to permit the service to perform conciliation functions adequately and promptly.
 (e) Congress should immediately make available funds for improv- ing and strengthening the service.
 Reconciliation must. under all conditions, be maintained as dis tinct and separate from arbitration. A commissioner of conciliation must never be assigned to a case as an arbitrator, except where a written request for his services as arbitrator has been made by both parties to a dispute.

Beating Cancer
By

Harold M. Brown, B.S., M.AsI LL.b.
 The more people become aware of cancer symptoms and it's danger signs. the more frequent will early diagnosis be made and proper treatment begun early enough to produce a cure. Cancer is a dread disease, but this does not mean that persons should live in fear of it. Cancer is by no means hopeless. Progress in methods for the pre- vention and cure of the disease are continually being made by med- ical science.
 The danger signals of cancer in- clude the following:
 1. Any sore about the mouth, tongue or lips that does not heal.
 ?. A painless lump or thicken- ing in the breast, lip or tongue.
 3. Any change in the color or size of a mole, wart or birthmark on the skin.
 4. Irregular bleeding or discharge from the nipple or any natural body opening.
 5. Persistent hoarSenesS which cannot be explained by a cold or other temporary disturbance.
 Persistent indigestion may be a sign that cancer of the stomach or bowel is developing and an exam ination should be had just to rule out the possibility.
 In cancer affecting the internal organs, X-rays are often helpful in making a diagnosis. But in cancer of the skin, tongue or lips. diagnosis can be made by examina- ton. However, where examination does not result in . diagnosis, a small fragment of tissue may be removed and microscopically ex- amined. This is known as Q biopSy. and 1t makes diagnosis absolute in each case.
 Examination of the male rectum and prostate should be part of . cancer checkup. In this way 1t Is often possible to determine the pre- sence of cancer of the bowel or prostate gland. It Is particularly important in persons who have had hemorrhoids for long period of time. Too often, bleeding from the bowel Is ascribed to hemorr- holds when actually early cancer may be present.
 All persons over 35 years of age should have a complete medical ex- animation by doctor at least twice each year. If younger, at least once each year. Such examina- tions, thoroughly carried out, make it possible to discover cancer early enough to permit cure with pro- per treatment. Armed with the knowledge of cancer danger sig nals, persons can beat 1t.

search, so that we shall learn more about how to prevent and cure di- sease. Federal aid should also SUD- port more adequate professional education. Special emphasis should be paid to research on the cause, prevention and cure of cancer and mental illnesses.
 Recommendation 4. Prepayment of medical costs. Everyone should have ready access to all necessary medical, hospital and related ser vices. The costs of essential medi- cal services should not stand in the way of the patient who needs care.
 A compulsory national health insurance system is proposed to- ward attaining this goal. It would be system for prepayment of the costs through premiums which peo- pie could afford, and which are paid while they are well and work ing.
 This is not socialized medicine.
 Prepayment would relieve fam- lilies of worry about medical costs and would encourage them to re- ceive care as soon as 1t is needed. Thus, 1t would also work toward preventing serious diseases.
 Patients would remain free to choose their doctors. Doctors would remain free to accept or re- feet patients. Hospitals would continue to manage their own ser vices. Voluntary organizations could participate in the insurance system, either to provide services and if paid therefor, or to assist in administration, depending on their functions.
 Decentralized administra ti o n would provide for needed local ad- iustments in fees, methods, of pay ment and arrangements for ser vices.
 Doctors and hospitals could ex- pect improvement and stability of income, at the same time that pa

Just exactly how much food your baby should eat will need to be de. cided by your baby and your doc- tor. Not that he will eat the same amount every day, but he proba- bly, won't vary the size of his meals very much, unless there Is some reason why he is especially hungry or why he doesn't want so much as usual.
 Most eating difficulties are quite apt to develop when baby refuses to eat as much as you think he should. He will doubtless make up for a light meal or 8 whole day of less food, at later meals or the next day. If no fuss is made and the unwanted food is removed, he will soon learn that eating must be done at mealtimes, or he gets intentionally hungry before the next meal.
 As new foods arc added, he may eat more because he is growing rapidly. On the other hand, when strained vegetables and egg yolks fruits and custards are gradually added to his menu. he may not eat quite as much cereal. With vege- tables and egg yolk in his noon meal, give him cereal at breakfast and supper, leaving it out at noon.

 Recommendation 5. Protection against loss of wages from sickness and disability. Disability insur- ance would protect Americas fam- lilies by guaranteeing some income when they are sick or permanently disabled.
 The President urged Congress to consider such health legislation now. This five-point program would strengthen the nation to meet future problems. It would contribute greatly to freedom from want.

The Conservative Democrats
realize that the majority of the
American people want social well
fare government. Thy know the
people want a government which
will take definite and constructive
steps to do the things which should
be done, but which are not being
done.
This does not mean that the
American people are anti-business.
Rather it means that the people
would use their government to pro-
vide goods and services and guar
antees of economic well being
which private enterprise cannot or
will not provide under existing So
cial and economic conditions.
For example, most Americans
know that private enterprise can
not or will not provide low-rent
housing, nor guarantee minimum
wage, nor provide social security,
hold down prices, nor rid the coun-
try of racial, religious and nation
ality discrimination in employment.
These are the kinds of things which
the American people want and Mr..

HENRIEHE LOVELA(E sings
in TOWN HALL; PRESENTS
SPLENDID PROGRAM
By Carl D5ton

NEW YORK, Sept. "a (ANP)-|
Henriette Lovelace, soprano, who
once held high promise as concert
artists while at Fisk university, but
who forsook a concert career for
"Showboat" and other theatrical
presentations, presented a fine list
of songs at Town Hall Sunday aft
ernoon.
Miss Lovelace undoubtedly has a
voice of rich quality and resonance
but it clearly shows abuse from her
having been compelled, as has been
the lot of so many talented Ne
groes, to do Negro dialect. 1t is best
in the middle, the low part of the
scale being almost entirely maud
ible and the upper forced, strident
and without true pitch. The the
atre, too, we feel has done much
harm to her phrasing. Rhetorical
pauses at the end of two or three
words in certain types of the spok-
en- line may prove effective but in
singing the musical, not the gram
matical phrase is the one guide.
And disintegrated phrasing was
not the only error on the part of
the singer. Each phrase segment
seemed to terminate into something
akin to a spoken sound. AS to the
diction in either Italian, German,
French or English, entirely too
much was unintelligible. Not be-
cause the vocalist did not enunci-
ate, but because her voweliztion
was SO impure.
But one could learn much from
Miss Lovelace's dignified stage de-
partment. In that lay her queen
illness. In that her long theatrical
experience stood her in mighty
good stead. But Negro singers
sooner or later have got to become
more discriminating in electing
