with tuberculosis of the lung there are usually some signs that the patient and family can db- serve--cough. loss of weight. aul tiredness. However. with cancer of the lung there are few or no symp- toms except a light wheeze at first. but this is practically always pres- ent. In Paris Medical. Drs. Ci. Gir- ani, P. Cazal. and F. Boyer state that needle biopsy - inserting a needle into the lung and examin- ing contents withdrawn by tho needle-offers considerable aid in discovering the differences in cancer. tuberculosis. and syphilis in the lung in patients whose X-ray findings are not clear enough to distinguish between these diseases When there is an abscess or eye! present or signs of bleeding, a needle biopsy should not be made. An injection of 50 mg. of vitamin it should be given twelve hours be- fore the puncture with the needle. The needle biopsy should be pre- formed under a local anaesthetic. The patient is asked to breathe out all the air in his lungs and not breathe in again until the needle and its lung tissue has been with- drawn. This means that as much air as possible is out of the lungs and the lung is drawn as near as possible to the wall of the chest. The needle then passes through the pleura (lining of chest wall and outer covering of the fungi directly into the spot already re- vealed by x.ray. The needle is directed to this spot by means of the fluoros-cope.

By needle biopsy. in a great many cases. the condition present -cancer, tuibercuiosis, syphilis - can be recognized. which means that some of the extensive surgical operations - removal of ribs and a lobe of the lung-may not be needed to recognize the disease present. We, can see the great value od needle biopsy in helping the physician to diagnose a. dis- ease. '

Early discovery of cancer is a long step forward in its treatment.

Granddaughter came in this morning wltif the bright glory of a bouquet of Nasturtiums her hands to have us at the housework recall old gardens of memory quiet. peaceful sanctuaries of the long ago. Where days of golden and mending. and life moved about and by at a leisurely rate. No busy noisy tractors passed. nor lumber- lns truck or transport, nor flash- ing car. Odd vehicles - a farm cart, or perhaps a horse and wagon driv- en by mi-lady on her way to pick ill! zroceries or mail at the corner- store. A few pedestrians would be abroad: a sun-hatted or bonnetted Mlllewlle to an afternoon "Kaley" skirts sweeping the ground, mov- ing sedately as behooved her sex and station; a barefoot lad of the farm or lass. a basket at hand - eggs to exchange for an errand of buying. eagerly anticipating the cent left over for abundant pur- chasings of sweets; guests from the seaside hotel with letters to mail. or the Minister perhaps. walking ."reverend” by. in his clerical black, on some pastoral visitation. I O C

"Do Ministers ever take off their clothes?" younger sister of an ex- ploratory turn of mind once quer- ied. "Sure. they do!" a sophisticat. ed child-of-the corner spoke up. "Their collars. and long black coats?" she queried. "Uh-huh!" the other nodded. "Hat and boots too?" "Yes" the worldly-wise one said. "and puts on a long night-shirt! It's striped flannelette. I saw it on the line. He has two" she confided with a chuckle "and they're both striped!" "Striped!" our small one gasped. amazed to think of the like in connection with one who talked always of the gold and silver glor- ies of Heavenly places. Then "I don't believe you!" she declared "he just takes off his hat and boots, doesn't he?" she appealed to us. our knowledge was quite inadequate for the occasion. True. it was a matter to which we had never giv- en much thought. We had been reared to respect The Cloth which gave Ministers a place in life. neither of earth nor I-leaven, but nvertheless their words were to be heeded and remembered by chil- dren. But whether or not they dis- robed - that was something we were not clear about. "I guess" sis- ter settled the matter to her own satisfaction", if he only had one collar clean. he might take that off. and perhaps if he was uncomfort- able. he'd loosen his coat" she low- ered her voice to a whisper, amazed at the very thought of a "clergy- man without his "black". 0 0 "Hal" the other scoffed" he does take them off! I know! Biddy. that washes for them says he's 'a regul- ar divvle' on white shirts - three a week sometimes. It's not the same one he wears all the time. stupid! If you don't believe me ask your father or mother. they'll tell you!" But parents were not to be asked the like. That would be sheer sacru- ege. Better to let the matter test.

There was the delightful old gar- den we knew where we came many a time to keep tryst with a friend. To chat quietly about those items of mutual interest to school-girls and to plan very surely for the years to come. with never a thought or allowance for time or circ stances. elements of small impor- tance to weavers of dreams. There Nasturtiums grew and spilled over ths sides of an old iron pot to laugh with their sisters in the bed below. Close by a bush gave of! the fragrance of numbers of blown pinky roses while scores of lean and fat buds awaited their turn to blossom. A gnarled Damson tree sheltered it westward and in- the old orchard just beyond twisted and bent from the neighboring winds of sea the piquant bitter-sweets limited for potato-picking time.

Granddaughter: gift of blossoms returned too a. sight of the grac- ious llving in an old Manse of mem- ory. There stately rows of Nastur- tiums edged the walk. welcoming young and older to the door. and yielding colorful scented pickings to grace the parlor table. And the Minister's voice, that now must surely sing and preach and talk with those "saints in glory" he knew of so well, asked again: "Are you God's child today. Ellen? Ay". he would smile whimsically. "not only this day but every day - Praise His Name" All of these un- dying memories came back to us today while at granddaughters fancy we "put them in a glass so the stems will show through!" -the posy of Nasturtiums. she brought us this morning.

Parents Can't Shield Children From All Life's Difficulties

DEAR MISS DIX: II it fair to bring children into the world when everything is so uncertain? some people. through no fault of their own have such unhappy lives. Is it worth while having children from the parents' standpoint?

MRS. L. N.

ANSWER: It is certainly as serious a matter to give as it is to take it. and men and women should consider long and thoughtfully what sort of chance they are giving a child before they bring it into the world. Ceriainly no one has the right to give a child such a rotten deal as to handicap it with the g stigma of illegitimacy. or to doom it to a lifetime of - .2. -. suffering by inflicting on it hereditary diseases. But if people refrained from having children until they multitas- sure them a perfectly safe and prosperous journey through life t ere would never be another baby born. because there has never. been a safe world and there will never be one.

LIFE ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE

Always. and to every child, life will be an adventure. full of dangers and difficulties through which he must fight his way. and no pro- visions of the parents can safeguard him. No man knows what fate may befall his children. And that is what makes life interesting and exciting. and probably no baby. if zyven its choice. would prefer to come into a cut and dried world, no matter how safe.

As to your question whether it is worth while having children from the parenfs' standpoint. I should say yes. if the parents are nor- mal human beings. Possibly people who are selfish. self-centered ego- tlsts do not find children worth the trouble they cost. but most. men and women get the purest happiness they ever have out of their babies.

As we grow older our interest in ourself wanes. We don't care so much about ourselves and ounpersonal hopes. We don't believe in ourselves so much. We know that nothing much awaits us in the future. What was in us to do. we have done, and it wasn't so hot. And so if we have no children we have no keen interest In the future.

But if we have children we still have a stake in the game. What we haven't done we expect them to do. Where we have failed we look to them to succeed. We live again in them and it keeps us keyed up. alert and young ourselves.

DEAR MISS DIX: What is the difference between an intelligent wife and an ignorant one? Are consideration and truthfulness the key- notes to happiness? if either the husband or the wife is a gosslper. does it make for unhappiness in marriage? Does keeping mum about one's affairs show superior intellect? These subjects have been mal- iers of discussion in our circle and we would like to know what you

think. R. E. L

ANSWER: First. I am tempted to say that the difference be- tween an intelligent wife and an ignorant one is the difference be- tween success or failure in a marriage. An intelligent woman is bet- as; fitted in every way to be a helpmeet to her husband than a stupid

Second. Consideration. whether we apply it to other people or they apply it to us, certainly makes for happiness. since we all love to have our little peculiarities respected and deferred to and object to HOW!!! people tread on our fees. But I doubt if any of us could speak the truth. the whole truth and nothing but the truth to our fellow creatures without making wholesale enemies and being avoided as if we had the plague.

Third. Stevenson rated being a good gossip as one of the most dg. sirable qualifications that a Wife could have. I agree with him. A gosslper need not be a scsudal-rnongor. Certainly the wife who cannot go two blocks to the grocery store without seeing and hearing some- thing intereatlng nukes a dinner table a far plearanter place than is the one presided over by a silent woman who never says a word ex- cept to correct Junior about the way he eats.

Fourth. Keeping mum about one's affairs is a bar to friendship. but it is no indication of profundlty of intellect. People who don't talk are generally empty-headed ones who have nothing to say. We used to fall for the great silent men. but now we know them for what they are. Just stuffed shirts.

DEAR MI& Dix: If a man has done wrong and paid the penalty and is determined to come back and go straight. in it best. for him to return to the town in which he has always lived when he lg 1", out of prison? Is it possible for him to ever entirely coma back?

, 3El:KING THE WAY.

ANSWER: Of course. he can some back if he wishes to do so Many have gone back to the old home town and made good there but I think it is far easier for them to do so in some strange plan. in 'l:;V"W'l'l'le':l)t be continually reminded of their out and have it

lb: today: true success story 1 have chosen the name of Jean Rousseau. pronounced Roo so. who

in; l'II'f. With only a desultary education he was, to become the most celebrated and most influent-' ial lunch writer of the eighteenth century. .

His youth gave little promise of his future eminence and his first work. "Confusions", published in lid did not set the world on fire. Early in life he was apprenticed to an engraver, from whose real or fancied severity he ran ,away. He next fell under the notice of Ma- dam de Warena, who sent him to a Roman catholic institution at Turin. Jean did not prove an apt student. and next we learn of him taking up residence with Madam de Warens after a bit of eccentric wandering that took him all over Europe.

Flor nearly three years Rousseau lived the life of Riley. In 1741. he went to Paris. and in was he filled the post of secretary to the French Ambassador at Venice. This office he resigned to return to the French Capital where he led a precarious life. copying music and studying science.

0 O 0

About this time he became ac- quainted with such prominent men as Grimm, Diderat, eu:., and he did a bit of writing on the side.

From this period also dated his love affair with Therese Lenasseur. with whom twenty-fiva years later he went through some form of mar- riage ceremony.

In 1750 his essay k: which he d i ” the negative side of the question whether civilization has contributed to purify morals, won a prize offered by the Academy of Dijon and brought the struggling author for the first time into the general notice.

In M54 he revisited Geneva. where he was admitted as a free citizen on once more embracing the Protestant faith. When he re- turned to Paris he wrote a sort of novel, "Julia. of the New Heloise". which was quickly followed by "soc- ial Coniract". a political work. Lat- er he did a vast work on Education. which on the framework of a story builds up an elaborate system of education. Later French writers drew much of their inspiration from this bood. and some say it laid the foundation of modern ele- mentary education.

Though well received by the pub- lic. his books were condemned by the Government of Paris. and the resulting persecution. exaggerated by his own morbid outlook. forced Rousseau to flee to the island of St. Pierre in the Lake of Bierne. and finally to England, where he was welcomed by Hume, ” l. and other noted writers of that day. After a. bitter quarrel with 1-fume. he returned to Paris, where the old feud seems to have died out. He lived in great poverty. supporting himself by copying music and pub- lishing occasional stories.

In May of 1773. he retired to lir- menonville. just outside of the Hench Capital where he died the same year. The chief importance of his writings lies in the fact that they held the germ of the doctrines which were carried out with such ruthlem consistency in the French Revolution.
