exploited by cancer quacks. If the patient doesn't
have cancer he wastes his money and lives in fear
he does, he wastes his money and hastens his DEATH
The final conquest of quackery lies in your
hands. Here is what every patient can do so that
our fight against quackery can measure real
improvement:
.. He can learn the signs of qnackery, so that no
charlatan can fool him.
a. He can hold on to his money until he has in
vestigated the scientific background and the claims
of all medical offers.
p When in doubt he can write for information to-:
the American Medical Association, the Food and
Drug Administration, the Post Office Department,
the Federal Trade Commission, his state or local
health department, his state county medical
society, or his family doctor.
.. He can cooperate with enforcement officials by
furnishing information and by being willing to
testify when he has been cheated.
Only when every patient learns to look behind
gittering promises and phony facades will there be
an end to the crime that takes your money and
your life. -T"H END

Perhaps you find it hard to believe that people
can be SO gulibe. Actually it is not surprising
when one considers the almost incredible discoveries
that actually haze been made in medicine during
the past half century. And even intelligent people
are not always able to distinguish truth from fiction
in fields in which they have experience. There is
always the element of hope, the desperate cropping
for help. Don't forget too that the quack is always
suave, plausible, full of glowing promises. He has
none of the scruples of the honest physician, who
cannot lie to his patient when science offers no
hope Of cure.
favorte lure of the quack is the testimonial:
II took three bottles and felt like nesU 'UOmGn."
doctors gaze me up, and then found Elixir
of Dope, and hare not had a sick day since"
These letters are easy to get; the patient feels
a little better from renewed hope, or from the
liberal slugs of alcohol many Of the remedies"
contain, and dashes off letter. The letter may be
used long after he is dead of the disease sup
posedly cured
Perhaps the most 6endish of all forms of
quackery is that which exploits the cancer victim.

The very mention of cancer strikes fear into the
hearts of many people. As patholOgist, dealing

more medical knowledge than we now possess, we
could save twice as many cancer victims - if ply

and treat their symptoms But it's Of utmost imPor

medical care promptly.

who treats patients until they are about to die and

Simulated PIeuted Lunnpshude

Have you an old lamp
shade with ribs supporting
the upper and lower rims?
If so. and you feel like try
ing a rather cute idea, make
1t into a simulated pleated
lampshade by using seam
binding, or if you wish to
spend more money. ribbon
instead. The lampshade will
look charming in bedroom
or on a dressing table but I
would keep it small.
You'll need: for a shade 8
inches deep, 10 inches di-
ameter top, and IL inches
diameter base: 80 yards
woven edge seam binding; 2
yards metallic gold rickrack
or lampshade braid.
To make:
l. Remove covering on
shade so frame is bare. Set
in front of table.
2. Place shade on table
having one third of it off the
edge. Hold V inch of seam
binding at front of top rim
and drop card of binding
through shade onto your lap.
Firmly pull binding around
lower frame, then straight
up over the upper frame to
the starting point. Pull taut.
8. Continue doing this but
be sure the edges of the
binding touch at the lower
frame. and overlap slightly
at the upper frame. This is
important. Otherwise, you
will not have a pleated eff
feet.
4. To join seam binding
strips as you finish each
card. pin first, and then Sc
curely hand stitch a seam at
the upper frame or the lower
frame. Then clip away the
excess binding and continue
winding with the new piece.

Beauty mFIowers
By MRS. HERBERT H. GREGER
Why Be Chained by Indifference?

Currently, new trends in
flower arrangement lead to q
greater recognition of the
geometric forms in plant ma
terial as well as in the fin
ished product. When we move
along with these trends of our
time, we should do so quite
consciously and with an in
quisitive mind. We then must
be willing to rearrange our
thinking and move into the
new field of experience with
out comparison to yesterday.
Only with a completely fresh
approach can we undertake a
search for new beauty along
new and unfamiliar paths
which, however, are only I'M
familiar in our medium with
flowers.
Since the time of first
records, human beings have
used geometric forms in art.
Imaginations have co njure d
countless variations, depending
on the time, the place and
the culture as well as on the
individual Simplification of
visual forms. The sphere, cube,
cylinder and pyramid are
geometric forms which are very
familiar to the flower arranger.
But, many of us have fallen

into the pit of staleneSs by
clinging to what we are ia
miliar with and what can so
easily be accomplished. Stale
ness kills the creative spark
which is the printing factor
in our endeavor for self ex-
preston. Indifference to the
pulse of our time joins stale
ness in this pit.
Instead of limiting ourselves
to an interest in the basic
geometric forms, we might ex-
tend our interest to all possible
geometric forms, including an
approach to such forms as the
cones, the ellipsoid, the prisms
and the torus. If we would
add to this a basic study of
the lines and planes which are
the generators of such bodies,
we could easily acquire such
power of understanding that
our knowledge would free us
from many narrow concepts to
an ever greater wealth of
beauty. We would come to the
recognition that all forms
which we see are related
geometric forms if we reduce
them to their greatest sim
plicity. If we go forward in
this manner, we shall investi-
gate all possibilities and each
step will lead to another.
From this overall interest, a
radical offshoot will be an in
Spection of free form compost
ton and a further step to the
current phase of abstraction.
Since pure abstraction in
wolves the elimination of all
Identification as we'll as all
relation to objects whether
they are natural or made by
man. it follows that all features
of plant material as we know
it must become unrecognizable
1t may be expected that pure
abstraction may be found in
compatible with the medium.
Surely it would be a far cry
from the concept that flowers
in an arrangement must re-
tain their characteristic as an
essentially living substance.
1t never hurts to go a little
too far to find out for sure
that you can be in error. This
would be a positive result. 1t
is a better exercise than to
just stay where you are. You
must admit that it is COM
