THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1926. FEATURES. 8HI: TRIED TO LOOK AWAY, AND TO H COULD N¢ THE MILLION-DOLLAR WIFE BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. IR AMAZEMENT FOUND SHE Betty Ames nurses James Cornell through pnewumonia and they fall 4 love. Dr. Amos Craig is in love with Betty and is hurt at the news. Jim is the kind of man who is al- ways talking about what he will do when he makes his “million,” and Retty soon realizes that she must learn to dress smartly as icell as like the people he docs. She is somewhat at a loss among the smart people who are his friends, and. although she is dazzled at the future he keeps talking of con atantly. she is pu because he does not seem in any hurry to bhe married. In order to be with him more, she gives up all night cases. ~he realizes that if she is not with him other women will be, particu- larly Alice Grifiith, a girl in whow he has once been interested. The staff of St. Martin’s Hospital plans @ dance and Betty had counted on going_with Jim, but a couple of days before the event he is called to Washington, and she is forced to go alone CHAPTER XXVL At the Dance. Fetty wore her Spanish shawl and her white dress with the twinkling rhinestones to the dance. She had never been lovelier. Perhaps it was because she felt more at home with these people, who knew her and with whom she had worked for so long. At any rate, there was a radiance about her that drew all eyes, a glad- ness 8o provocative that it was like @ direct challenge. St. Martin’s had never had a dance before, so that this was the first tim she had seen Dr. Craig coat. It changed him, made him seem older. As she fox-trotted expertly with Dr. Hunt, she watched Amos dancing with Miss Anderson. She had never thought him handsome, but he did have a distinguished loc There was something tine and clean cut about him that she had never noticed before. Botty had grown so used to having the other nurses tease her about Amos that it rather piqued her when he did t certainly is unjust to say that miodern Is aren’t intevested i cooking.

He had pointedly voided her, and now he could take uences. She would delib- flirt with him, let him see how sweet she could be, dangle her charms that were not for him before his eyes. It would serve him right. The grehestra was playing that most hing of fox trots, “Tea for Twe 15 Amos took Betty In his arms | she sang the words softly under her breath. She was almost as tall as he was, so that he could watch her lips as she spoke.

"Almost insensibly, his arm her tightened, and although Betty was aware of it, she made no =ign. She did not look at him, but she heard him ch his breath sharp- ly. And then because she was curious, she turned her face slowly and met his glance. 1In a casual way, she had known that his eyves were gray, but nOw he looked into them they ecmed almost yellow, as though flamas were dancing in their depths. She tried to look away, and to her amazement found that she could not, Some mesmeric force held her gaze. It w as_though in that moment she was seding Amos Craig for the first time, seeing him as a man rather than a doctor, and recognizing for the first time his feelings for her. Count less times she had looked into Jimmy’s laughing dark eyes, but in their depths she had never seen an emotion like this. She did not like it, it was uely terrifying. Under her feet the seemed to be slipping a smooth floor ay from her, She had a sensation of panic that made her suddenly angry. And then, with his eves still holding hers, he spoke: ow you know!" s words broke the spell that held her, and her lashes dropped. But all through her there tingled the knowl- edge that he was right. She did know, and she was sorry now that she did She hated the knowledge that he cared for her like that. She would always hate the memory ey He had no right to feel that | way about her.

PEATTIE. | Equinox. | The equinox has come and gone, and nobody is much the worse for it in Washington, vet there have been terrific floods in the Middle Western States, and hundreds of people are homeless. The mentlon of the equinox these days nearly always raises a hot discussion. Grandfather can remember an equinox back in sixty-something when the Potomac arose from its bed in wrath and threatened ‘he_underpinnings of the Capitol. while Tommy, who Is study ing meteorology in high school, says there is no such thing as the equinox. In the drunken spinning and sway- ing of this old earth as it careens | around the sun, there are two times of year when for a moment the line between the poles—the imaginary line passing ‘through the center of the earth—s actually vertical—that is, at right angles to the plane of the carth’s orbit around the sun. On these #wo da in the middle of March and the middle of September, there is equinox—that is, equai length of night and day. Long before i s understood that the earth moved or Inclined, the equal length of ay was noted, and mystical portents were attached to this fact. Saturnalia in some countries, in others the festivals of Spring sew- ing and Autumn harvest were cele- brated. As to the tradition of more recent origin that there is always a terrific storm at that time it is hard to pe | certain. It would be quite possible to point in the records of the Weather Bureau to great equinoctial storms; the country has just been enjpying & taste of theni. It would be quite as possible to muster an army of con- trary evidence—years when the equinox passed under faultless blue kies. In other words, if a storm falls about the middle of September, people s Chere, that's the equinox, that prov it.”” But if the weather 18 beautifui, they forget all about its being the equinox. It a storm comes 10 days afterward, they say, “That's the equinox; just a little bit late. Actually the equinox, in the strict astronomical sense, can never be late; the equinox of the astronomers is an undeniable fact. But the equinoctial storm is too irregular and misses too { many yvears to be considered some- thing caused by the position of the parth at this time of year. It is safest just to call it the Autumn storms, and if grandfather wants to believe in the old-fashioned equinoctial tempest, it is safest, too, not to con- tradict him.

ISLE VALCOUR, Lake Champlain, September 28, 1776.—The American fleet, commanded by Gen. Benedict Arnold, which proposes to dispute the passage of Lake Champlain by the British ficet from Canada, is now anchored between this island and the mainland to the west. The vessels are in a small bay as near together as possible and in such a formation that few enemy craft can attack them at one time, whereas any at- tacking vessels would be exposed to the fire of all the Americans. Gen. Arnold finds it no easy matter to learn the whereabout of the enem) A French Canadian whom he sent to St. Johns as a spy came back with such a confusing story that Gen. Arnold new believes him to be a British spy and has put him under guard. A still more annoying inci- dent was when Sergt. Strickland and 12 men left here on a scouting trip in a provision bateau und recurned yesterday without locating the enemy and also without a packet of im- portant military papers belonging to Gen. Arnold. They spled in the dis-| tance a ship which they believed to | be of the British fleat and to provent | the seizure of the papers Sergt. Strickland threw ihein o i !

Thus this Mttle scout- ing party came back with much in- formation lost and none found. There are Torles hereabout who add to Gen. Arnold's worries. He has rounded up and sent to Gen. Gates at Ticonderoga several inhabitants of the rleighborhood who had talked much of their friendliness for America, but who turned out to be rabld Tories. One of these in par- ticular, named Gilliland, Arnold says, is a most plausible and artful villain. On the 2ith he sent north- ward a German and a New England man who speaks French. These two went in the disguise ‘of American deserters, but with full instructions and credentials sewed up in the soles of their shoes. As they run a great risk, Gen. Arnold promised to reward them if they are successful by divid- ing $500 between them. Two small schooners are constantly cruising above and below the feet and two guard boats are posted 2 miles beyond. Another boat is on patrol duty constantly, completing its round every two hours. Every ship in the fleet keeps half its men con- ntly on deck under arms and with matches lighted. (Copyright. 1926.) BY EDNA KENT FORBES. More Paris Fads. The smart Parisian has a new fad which some of my readers might like to copy. I found out in Paris that the most fashionable color for the next season or so is black, a useful and economical fad, by . some of this year’s bright silks can be dipped in dye. But unrelieved black is too trying. All black dresses have a touch of color, and one of the smartest V' of achieving this is to wear a bunch of brilllantly shaded flowers made of feathers on the left shoulder. It is necessary to have several bunches of thesa in different colors to match the different hats. The gloves and ‘he stockings must match, and the hand- bag and the hat and the flowers must match up with these. With a blue dress, for instance, you can' wear either beige-color stockings and gloves or gray stockings and gloves and a scarlet handbag, searlet velour hat and a small bunch of red-feather flowers. The only absolute rule is that your costume must be somber and your accessories bright. It is really a season of .accessories. You do not need so many clothes if you wear dark colors, for one black dress is very much like another. You can vary it unendingly and economi- cally by such things as hats, belts, vestees and shoulder bouquets. Prac- tically all hats are tailored and almost all_are felt, even for the dressiest sort of aftérnoon costume. Almost any one cun take a cheap felt hat and twist and drape it into smart and becoming lines. It is the best season I have ever known for the woman who must dress well on practically nothing. A good plain taflored suit and a good quality dressy black satin gown Is all she really needs for daytime wear. She should put her money into hats and ves and stockings and With these to vary her cos- tume, and perhaps a change of collars and cuffs and vestees to add still more varlety, she can achieve the effect of half a dozen dresses for the price of one. Do not forget to add a bright color touch with a little bunch of flowers. Worried.—There is nothing you can do to destroy the fine hairs over the skin without injury to the skin. These invisible hairs are essential, acting as a_ protection to the skin avhile they | also give a softening effect. . There is always an unnatural shine to any part of the skin where these hairs have been destroyed. A. E. H~Apply hot, damp cloths to open the pores over, the skin where you have the blackheads, after which massage with a cleansing cream to soften the impacts. Bathe as formerly and then close the pores again with very cold water or an-ice rub. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Pop came home wile T was sitting on the frunt steps yestidday afternoon, me saying, G, pop, holey smokes, gosh. Meening on account of his mustashe being fixed with 2 little points on the ends, and he sed, Well wats a matter, is enything rong? Your mustache is diffrent, I sed, and pop sed, Well wat of it, have you eny comment to make on it? Sounding as if other peeple had noticed it before he came home, wich no wonder, and 1 sed, No, sir. £ Good, pop sed.

Colloidal Lead Treatment of Cancer Fifteen years ago Wassermann and Keysser found that the salts of tellur- fum and selenium would destroy cancer cells when injected into the cancer, but when doges sufficient to do this were injected into the blood stream the effect was as likely to prove lethal to the host. The idea of these and many other scientific in- vestigators was to find a remedy which would destroy cancer cells when administered through the blood stream, vet not attack the normal cells of the hody. Colloidal copper, colloidal silver, colloidal gold, colloidal selenium, col- lojdal sulphur and various combina- tions of these have been tested by search workers, both on animals and on human beings, and these observa- tions and experiments have warrant- ed at least the hope that some remedy might be found which, when injected into the blood stream, would attack or destroy or even impair the vitality of cancer cells without seriously in- juring the normal body cells. In 1920 W. Blair Bell of Liverpool began the treatment of human cancer by Injections of colloidal lead into the veins. The colloidal form of lead was selected because varfous lead com- pounds had been found too polsonous to the host. Out of 227 patients with otherwise hopelessly advanced cancer, that s, cancer advanced beyondshope of any relief by the one remedy we have to- day, surgery, this treatment with col- loldal lead has to its credit 50 patients who have lived from one to five years with complete arrest of the cancer. Speaking of this extraordina; ord, Dr. Francis C. Wood, director of Institute the of Cancer Research, Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN l “1 would of seen a movie tonight except Papa didn't like it about me practicing to be a mechanic an’ bustin’ a spark plug.” (Copyright. 1926.) o START says: “For the first time a substance has been found that will arrest the growth of carcinoma for a period of from one to five years, and this in patients both inoperable and beyond the power of irradiation to sffect cure.” Bell himself says much remains to be done in order to diminish the dan ger of this treatment. The injection of colloidal lead in the method Blair devised {s a highly dangerous pro cedure, for it is necessary to approach a lethal dose to the host, and thix calls for the highest skill and judg ment as well as special clinical ex perience on the part of the physician In anfmals the injection of the col lofdal lead preparition causes intense congestion of the cancer for 24 hours, with subsequent capillary thrombosis, necrosis and shrinkage. In human be ings & great deal of pain occurs {n tho first 24 hours after injection, then the patient becomes more comfortable. Doses are given about once a week for three months. However, Bell feels from his own experience that “the time 1s not yet ripe for the general employment of lead.” Scientific stu- dents of cancer everywhere are work- ing on this line mow, and there is some ground for hope that a weap on may be found which will ba of some use against this most baffing of modern plagues. That Bell hax no illusions about the colloidal lead treatment being a specific “cancer cure” is evident in his practice of operating on all operable cases, as hs believes that offers the best chance, reserving the colloidal lead treatment for carcinoma or sarcoma cases which are beyond hope of surgery, (Covsright. 1926.) g - Creole Sauce.
