CANGER CAMPAIGN AIDS WOMEN MosT Delays in Taking Remedies Are Decreased, Hospital _'Records Show. By the Associated Press. | PHILADELPHIA, May 14 | have profited more’ than m : | medical campaign to save porting cancer earlier. This is the showing in a study of de- erease in avoidable delay in 27 years' records at the Lankenau Hospital here. The figures were made publ'c today by Stanley P. Reimann, dircctor, and Fred- erick H. Safford, consultant statl of the Lankenau Hospital | stitute. Delays Are Costly. “By avoidable delay,” their report| states, “is meant the time elapsing be- tween the discovery of symptoms and the institution of treatment. In treat- ed malignant cases it is this time in- terval which determines the end re: sults in the great majority of C;Lrs;:s e more than any other one: factor. delay averages 5.8 months.” The histories of 3,780 cancer cases at Lankenau from 1900 to 1927 were studied. In earlier reporting the patients moved up an average of 3 weeks and 6 days. Most of the gain is due to women re- porting earlier. They appear on_an average of a month and three days sooner, while men have moved up oni about six days. | and women now delay in about equal| degree. ‘Education Is Needed. “The difference in the delays from 1900 to 1927-is small,” Dr. Reimann sald. “It is quite obvious that con- tinuous, increasing education is needed to diminish the avoidable-delay. “While statistics show that women are but slightly more subject to car- cinoma than men, women enjoy a prob- able advantage in that the majority of their tumors appear where the symp- toms are detectable early and with pre- cision, whereas many in men are whe early diagnosis 1s impossible.” WALT WHITMAN PAID | HALL OF FAME HONOR Poet Takes His Place in Shrine,| Along With Monroe, Maury _and Whistler. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 14.—The north shore of Long Island is feeling an added touch of pride for one of its native sons. Walt Whitman is taking his place in the Hall of Fame today. ‘Woodbury, West Hills and Hunting- ton, the center of the early days of his career, still nnnmerve ‘memories of him. The lolag der, & newspaper which he founded at Huntington, is flourish- ing, the little school house where h2 taught is standing and the house in which he was born has been restored. ‘The house, already something of a literary shrine, was saved by chance. During the World War Mrs. John D. ‘Watson and her sister, Miss Bertha Mitchell, decided that if they took up a farm some young farmer might be re- leased for active service. Scouting a’ong the north shore, they came across a tract which was about to be cut up into building lots. They remained uninter- ested until they came to a dilapidated, | shingled farm hous> and learned that it | ‘was Whitman's birthplace. | ‘They bought it immediately and be- | gan the work of restoration. ‘Whitman, the “good gray poet,” known best for his “Leaves of Grass. ‘Three other Americans honored to- day by inclusion in the Hall of Fam: are President James Monrce, sponsor of the Monroe Doctrine; James Abbott | McNelll Whistler, painter and etcher, and Matthew Fontaine Maury, scientist and oceanographe; “SHORTS” APPROVED National Board of Girl Scouts| Give Sanction for Uniform.

C, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1931 MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, May 14.—Now that Jack Gilbert is going back to the subtle and sophisticated thing, he has run the gamut during the stormy period | of his talking picture career. From the sparkling feathery quality of Molnar’s “Olympia,” which became “One Wonderful Night' in movies, he has passed through the various stages of sallor, gangster and other he-man types. Now in “Candlelight” he will ccme back to the gentleman who has nothing on his mind but his hair and nothing to concern him but the cut of | di his waistcoat. Such a gentleman need not have a deep, booming voice. He may be shal- low at will. His tailcr is more impor. tant than his tone. And comedy—singu I~rly ligh'-footed comedy—may be just the thing for Gilbert. Sylvia Sydney 1 about 16. She's one of the girls imported by Paramount to build up the sex-appeal angle of the | studio.

And Sylvia | Sydney has peculiar allure. | She’s a tiny little thing who looks as it she had esceped from her governecss to come looking for a motion picture job. She tells me she was born in 1910. That she was at work at the Theater Guild Scheol at 15 years.

She had made a brief flurry into Hollywood once before and hadn't found it such a great place for unknown little girls. She had tried the Eastern Paramount studio and George. Cukor’s guidance. But when a movie man finds you and signs you up, that's a different thing. And Sylvia Sydney is a person in Hollywod these ays She has a tremendous sense of humor and a determined idea of “keeping up Four months in Hol- Ivwod hasn't robbed her of the idea that this may still be done, so I didn't have the heart to tell ker. “But I long ago abandoned trying to read on the sets,” she said. “I do tap- estry, to the great amusement of every one concerned, but if I didn’t keep my hands busy at least, I think I would get | into mischief o You see,” confides Sylvia Sydney, “I'm rather a flat sort of personality o far as the public is concerned. I've never been engaged. I've never been married. I go about and have a nice time. I go out with boys. But I have no past. I suppose I'm the sort that just t_get a past. Some people never do. I shan't intrigue the public that way, as other actresses have done. There's never been any gossip about me in New York—' ney is just that young and eager that I think she would welcome a teeny little bit of gossip just so she could feel very worldly and full-grown and sophisti- cated.
