The best disguised enemy we have
is cancer. We talk about it as though
it were one disease, but scientists
see it as a multitude of diseases with
one common characteristic = cells
growing wild.
No one yet knows whether each
different cancer must be treated
specifically or whether a common
cause and cure can be found Most
scientists tend to believe that indi-
vidual causes and individual cures
are called for.
"The war on cancer is still war
of maneuver," DR.. Keith Cannan of
National Academy of Sciences has
said.
Scientists are hunting everywhere
for chemicals known to be cancer
causing in cigarette smoke, car ex-
haust, factory smoke, food additives,
insecticides, preservatives, radioactive
fallout, food carton wakes, and so
forth.
Some findings are ominous, but
the scientists aren't setting out to
frighten us. Their job is to help
US keep informed about the dangers
we face. No one is going to tell US
we can't some. But the scientist
IS able to tell us that cigarette smok-
ers have a higher rate of lung cancer
han non-cigarette smokers. We take
our own risk.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY Z. Z. EDGAR

FAVORITE: Like most
conductors. Arturo Tosca-
mini wasted little affection on
singers, with whom he kept
up a running battle during
opera rehearsals.
Once. at the Metropolitan,
after a stormy session with
a temperamental soprano. he
was rehearsing the ballet
sequence. AS the prima ball
lerina fitted about the stage.
he watched her admiringly.
Isn't she wonderful" he
exclaimed. Ten minutes she
has been on the stage and
she hasn't opened her mouth

banks was a confirmed prac-
tical joker. So fond was he
of playing pranks that he
could not resist playing one
even after his death.
During the last years Of his
life, Fairbanks had led a
number Of his old friends to
believe that they would be
remembered in his will. How
ever, when the will was read,
their names did not appear.
They consulted Douglas
Fairbanks, jr., but he had
no explanation. A couple Of
months passed. Then Doug,
jr., summoned the friends to
his home. His father, he
told them, had left a sealed
envelope in his care. with
instructions to open it two
months after his death.
Sure enough, it was found
to contain a supplementary
will, leaving a legacy to each
Of the friends.

kept growing worse. We had
heard that there was such a
thing as allergy to dog dan
der, so we pleaded with him
to get rid of the dog.
However, the family was so
attached to the animal that
they found every excuse pos
sible to make it seem as
though the dog was not
responsible. The little dog
finally died, and Dad imme-
diately began to get better
until in a comparatively
short time, he was completely
well.
We had heard recently that
a French poodle or a Chi
huahua would be all right;
that they would not cause
asthma, Well, we tried a
French poodle. He was with
the folks only a few weeks
when Dads asthma returned
and became SO bad that we
had to get the little pup in
the middle of the night and
bring him to our own home.
Dad soon felt relief. He
was completely recovered
until we visited my sister who
had taken the dog, and an
attack came on again. He has
not had an attack since that
visit, or so long as he is not
near the dog-or near any
dog for that matter.-Mrs.
A. B.
ILOVE DOGS, but I must
say l have seen many asth-
mates behave in a similar
manner. If there is asthma
in your family, better make
a survey of your pets.

permitted us TO move in. I
was never clever at finance,
but this deal worked out
well In a year. the $500 had
been paid back to the loan
company. and Malkmus had
his $500.
1T WAS OURS. Between
that time, and the time Eli
nor died, we bought and sold
six houses. None Of them held
the thrills of that first one.
] did all my own carpentry
built the little white picket
fence, planted enough trees
for a jungle scene, edged the
driveway with fieldstones,
painted the house when it
didn't need it, bought SO
worth of tools in Goodman's
hardware store every week,
enclosed the porch. built a
workbench, called the rela-
tives in and watched their
pale green pastel compilations
as they looked the place over,
and thought of myself as a
king.
Elinor hung curtains, cooed
over Grapes. moved the fur
niture, marveled at the for
sythia and the grass, put a
laundry in the cellar.
We had our greatest hap
piness, and our best battles,
in that house. On Saturday
evenings, we had Bill and
Helen Scanlon and their son
Billy up to the house. After
dinner, we hit the beer and
the laughter was constant.
Scanlon cranked the record
player and played Deep. in the
Heart Of Texas until the
Kellys, the Cramdens and the
LauS complained.
Eventually, the house was
sold for $1,000. We left more
than 81 200 in improvements,
and we were leaden of heart
leaving the place.

to mind today is that I am

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:

DEAR DIX. STEINChOHN:
We never miss your column
which we find most informa-
tive, comforting and some
times amusing. Recently you
had a column on hives, but
I cannot recall the contents.
Therefore, would you please
comment on the following
problem?
My sister, who is in her
early COS, is married to a
selfish man who rules their
home and watches her every
move, tells her what and
when, and is a chronic nagger
and critic. They never quar-
rel because she bows to him.

swallowed up by his dictation
and ego. Two years ago she
began getting hives but did
nothing about them until re-
Gently.
At last she went to a skin
specialist who inquired about
her emotions. He must have
been suspicious. But I do not
believe she gave him the true
story. He gave her medica-
ton for 10 days and now she
has no more hives.
My sister and her husband
are going on a round-the-
world trip. Is there a posi-
bility that the hives will re-
turn? How can one handle
these chronic critics? / am
helpless to do anything for
my sister except sympathize.
Mrs. x.
THANK YOU for the kind
words about the column. AS
for a cure for nagging, I
wish ! knew one. But people
are people and people are
funny. They get into a
groove, their characteristics
become an ingrained part Of
their personality - and you
have to choose between
fighting them or joining
them"
Your sister has made her
choice. In doing so she may
have made a choice of hives.
I'VE know that tension and
emotional stress may play a
part in their causation.)
Otherwise there would be
constant pickering. ending
possibly in divorce. AS for
the trip around the world, l
doubt that will ease any ten

take our personal problems
with us. With her doctors
consent, it might be advis-
able that she take along a

JIM BISHOP:
REPORTER
Initiation Comes Back Home

The first house we bought
was new. It was on a muddy,
unpaved road called Long
view court. The town was
Teaneck, N. j. It was q wood
frame Colonial with two bed
rooms and a bath upstairs. a
living room, dining room and
kitchen downstairs and a
clean concrete cellar with a
York oilburner. 1t had an
attached garage.
THE PRICE: $500. 1t was
on a plot about SO feet by
100. To buy it, we needed
ten per cent-$600. We did
MT have 600 cents. The year
was 1910. Elinor and ! had
been married almost ten
years, and had lived in apart
ments. We we're in debt all
the time. Every time we got
out of it, we couldn't wait
until we thought up new ways
of getting back in it.
There we're four of us-a
2la-year-old daughter. Vir-
GINA, and a mother-in-law
with a built-in suspicion.
There was also an English
springer spaniel named Duke
of Amherst, and a 1886 Ford
sedan. We looked the house
over, again and again. We
extolled the praises Of it to
build up the general morale
of the family.
The house could be paid
off in 90 years at SAT a
month. Harry Malkmus, the
salesman, made it sound easy.
After much soul-searching,
we weighed the pros and ig-
nored the cons, and said yes.
l told the salesman that 1
didn't have $500, but that 1
could lay my hairy fists on
5000.
This, he insisted, was a
horrifying thought. What
about the other $500? I said
that I would owe that to him
personally. l would sign a
note and pay the $400 off.
How? he asked. How" I
said. Easy. I'm making $81
a week as a rewrite man. Big
money"
Yes, he said, it was indeed
big money for a man only 80
years of age; a man with a
solid future who might, with
luck, someday hit 500 a
week. We stopped thinking,
and Mr.. Malkmus started. He
thought and thought and
thought. Finally, he did what
he had known he was going
to do all along-accept.
The papers were signed.
! had to run to a local loan
outfit to borrow the 5000, and
then hand it to Mr.. Malkmus.
He put $500 to it. put my
note among his papers, and

mother about $1,000. She
wants to take this money,
or a part of IL, and give it
to my sister who was re-
Gently married and hasn't
yet been able to furnish her
home.
l feel that Mother should
keep this money for herself.
1t would be nice for her to
take a long vacation at a
summer resort or to buy
some nice clothes and go out
more. She has very little re-
serve in the bank. She may
need 1t. My sister has a
young healthy husband to
take care of her.
Mrs. L, T.-Vacations and
clothes mean nothing to me.
My greatest joy is to be of
help to my children. My
married daughter contributed
to the home when she was
single and that is one rea-
son she may not have been
able to save up enough for
her home.
Irma has always been a
little on the jealous side. Now
that she sees her sister
married, she seems to resent
anything I want to do for
her. Rita never asked for
anything. I want to give her
this money. will put a little
aside for Irma if she gets
married.
I know another thing that
annoyS Irma is that some of
our own furniture is a little
old and shabby. But it is
good enough. Newlyweds
need nice home for enter
tanning and all.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
1t is most unkind to &C
cuse Irma Of jealousy in this
matter.
Irma is in the very diff
cult position of being forced
to take a back seat in a stu
alton that really concerns
her. She now is sharing a
home with her mother and
together they make a family.
She is an adult. yet she is
treated as q child who can't
have the privilege of making
decisions on important mat
tiers.
The way Mrs. L. T. states
her case, only marriage will
give Irma the right to some
of the better things in life.
The old and shabby furniture
is good enough for her be-
cause she is not married.
Money will be put aside for
her "if she gets married"
Irma isn't married, but she
is alive and desires a good
life now.
Irma undoubtedly feels
reSentful. We think she is
justified and ought to speak
up more strongly. In all
probability, If her mother is
Ill the whole responsibility
will fall on her. Shouldn't
Mrs. L. T. consider the pos
sibility of keeping this money
as an emergency fund for
such an eventuality?
Irma may be a bit jealous,
but Mrs. L. T. should ask
herself whether or not her
own lack of consideration is
responsible for that.
