SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF

EARLY BREAST CANCER

Before physicians and the public generally became cancer conscious. it was not unusual for the patient and sometimes the physician to "wait and see." if certain signs and symptoms increased in size or in- tensity, with the result that in many cases the disease progressed so far that. treatment was given too late to save life.

In a recent article we wrote about the advice given by a high author- ity that a woman should examine her own brcasis from time to time so that ally early sign or symptom would be noted and the physician consulted. Contrary to what many thought. this simple. examination from t.me to time does not cause irritation and rapid growth of any

In a special ai .clc in the Jour- nal of the American Medical As- sociation. Drs. Calvin T. Klopp, John D. Bottle. and Brian B. Blades. Department of Surgery alld Cancer Clinic of the uourtzc Washington University .Vleri;cal school. give the, histories of several patients in whom early recognition of suspect- ed cancer. often by the patient herself, saved the lives of these patients.

These physiczaiis state that there are no symptoms of early breast cancer but there are v:sible signs which point to cancer. These signs are (I) persistent scaling of the nipple, 12) slight lilf'PFfltlOl'l of the nipple. (3) drop of discharge from the nipple tbloody or wa'.ery,), and :1) persistent shadow on transli- lumlnation (light. used that shows- up the shadow.

The signs of early cancer dis- covered by feeling the breasts with the fingers are 41) slight thicken- ing of the breast, (2) slight thick- ening of the nipple, and I3) a non- tender lymph node in the armpit that is larger than 1 cm. l2y'5 of an inch in diameter.

Taclless Friends I

Fault-Finders Need A Dose Of Their Own Medicine

DEAR MISS DIX: What do you think of these "frank" people who pride themselves on "speaking their minds"? I have a friend

who is driving me crazy. Whenever she comes to my home she finds fault with something-always for "my own good. of course." She makea disparaging remark: about my clothes-even in the presence of others. It is embarrassing to me. as well as upsetting. She is a person who will do anything for you. but spoils it all with these "remarks". While I don't believe in being deceitful, I do think his better to make no com. ment at all than to be continually belittling. c G.

ANSWER: It's really wonderful 'how some out. spoken people can set themselves up to be highly virtuous. They throw overboard every veatige of fact. consideration, politeness and kindness for the dubious distinction of being perfectly honest at all times. Of course. actually they are not being hon. eat; the law of averages alone would necessitate at least an occasional kind comment, which people who pride themselves on telling us things for our own good never make. It's only human failings that are worthy of the malicious one'n attention.

FRANKNESS BEGETS FIIANKNESS

Try giving tit for fat. The next time your friend brags about her frankness, tell her you agree wholeheartedly with her prlnclples, adding: "How did you ever mate to pick a hat that particular shade of brown? It makes your dull hair look even more drab. And with your sallow skin-'.'' The lady,will be annoyed, that's sure; it's one of the strange anomalies of human nature that people who expect ol.hel's to have hides like elephants are themselves so sensitive that their fragile skins are pierced by anything that even remotely re- sembles a barb.

This particular falling. is, like so many others masquerading un- der. different guises. an outward manifestation of a deep, inward in- feriority. People who suffer from inferiority complexes often take the oddest means to focus attention on themselves. That the atten- tion is usually unflattering is a minor point they overlook. If a fairy godmother could teach these folks to bring out their betier qualities, both they. and their associates, would benefit. Why not try the role of godmother? If you can draw the lady out, win her confidence and learn what she would like from life, and what she has to contribute- though she may be unaware herself Just what her abilities in this line may be-you may be able to turn a menace into a blessing.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a young man of 3, sensitive and artistic, niarried 3 years to a woman of 39. a fine person whose wealth has enabled me to have the luxuries and ohjetsi d'nrl. I have always de- sired. At first we were completely happy, but now I find myself in love with her 18-year-old daughter of a previous marriage. The girl has inherited her mother's charm and has. in addition. a fine vibrant beauty. Do you think my wife will understand if I ask for a divorce.

F. C.

ANSWER: There are probably fine. succinct words to describe a creature like you, but I'm afraid no newspaper would print them if I used them.

You marl'y an older woman solely for money. then decide that ,Vl'lllrgflV'Zll”l(lI0uS possessivcness might as well include her daughter- who is, in herself, a charming "objet d'art." When you approach your wife with the proposition you have in mind, she should pick you up bodily and toss you out of her home. Ild give anything to see her do it.

Too many women are similarly beguiled by the blandiahments of young men who would rather marry money than earn it.

I hope your wife lakes full advantage of the opportunity to be rid of you. and that her daughter has developed enough sense to see through your cupidity.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a single girl of 21. and have been seeing a young man for about three months. Neither of us has dated anyone else in that time. and for the past month I've been sure I want to marry him. I have been hoping he'd say something to this effect, hilt so far he hasn't. Vvhcn I asked him to make something definite be- tween us, he said I was rushing him. I have no desire to rush him

into anything, but would like to know where I stand. TROUBLED

ANSWER: You certainly are an lmpleiuous young lady. definitely ready to risk romance for practicality. Proposing to a man you've known only three months is rushing things even in this jet-propulsion age. '

You aren't even being fair Io yourself. Ari acquaintance of more than three months is needed before two people can get to know each other sufficiently well to be sure they want to be together for the rest of their lives. At 21 you're scarcely ready to be put on a shelf if you happen to miss the boat with this particular young man. If you should loselhim in six months. as you seem in fear, you still have lots of time for marriage, and you've had lilo pleasant memories of a good friendship. By this time I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the boy hasn't been permanently scared off by your precipitation. If you're lucky enough to have him around yet, take things a little easier and let him do the courting.

Richardson Wrioht. for many years the editor of the beautiful House and Garden magazine. has wrlttsn several garden books and the title of the book we shall talk about today la "The Winter Diva-aion of a Gardener. In 1700 in England was born I wonderful lady. Mu-y Granville. who started her curious art of paper rnosaic flowers at the age of 74 and in the next eight years. she com- pleted nearly 1.000 different flowers. sir Joshua Reynolds Judged ho: delicate flower pictures to be im- rivalled in perfection of outline. delicacy of cutting, accuracy of shading and brilliancy of colors. The contemporary botanists, Sir Joseph Banks and Dr. Solander. thought her paper flowers were the only imitations of nature real enough to use as botanical speci- mens. Mary Granville. who became Mrs. Delaney before she began her col- lection of flora, began her mosaic flowers by placing ll. living flower against a dark background. She did not draw the plant. but by her eye alone cut each petal and other parts of the flower from colored paper Each part was cut and laid on a black paper, pasted one over an- other stamens. pistil, petals and leaves out from various colored papers. These papers she obtained from paper stalners who could provide odd lots of papers where the color had run to produce odd tints and shads. sea captains from China. also brought her rare wall- papers which provided her with special colors she needed. The mur- vel of her work was her gift of cut ting each shadow. outline, leaf. flower and stem with a high degree of exactness. some of these paper mosaic flowers are now In iihe British Museilm, and some in Windsor Castle,
