The nation's loss from fire is so great that Pr sident Truman has called a conference on Fire Prevention at the White House next week. State and municipal officers have been invited to attend the meeting. This country destroys much property by fire nad for a twelve month period ending last February, the total exceeded a half billion dollars. o o— The General Electric Company has announced an aggregate 15 cents an hour increase for its employes, to bp followed by an average boost of seven percent in the price of certain products made by the workers. The increase is J in line with those announced by the steel and auto industries, as the horizon over the industriallabor field seems to rise. —— O— — O— — Retail leaders are the first to point out that spiraling prices are a peril to the American economy. Retailing, of course, works under fixed limitations. If wholesale prices go up, retail prices must follow the trend. No store can operate without a profit. But the fact that retailing of all kinds, big and little, realizes that the price problem Is of consideration today, is one of the best signs on the horizon. Full understanding of a problem Is the primary step toward its solution. o—. o— Radio listeners were moved when they heard the great Babe Ruth acknowledge the tributes that were paid to him at Yan-

Everyone's Job To Watch for Cancer Signs

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WE are nuking real progress in cancer control and can say today with great confidence that early cancer is curable. But in order to cure cancer, it must be discovered early. Although cancer has been studied by many acdentists for many years and is the object of much of today's research, It is still true that the only successful way of treating it is to remove or destroy the cancerous tissue completely. In One Plane The best chance of doing this is while the cancer is all In one place, before metastasis occurs. We say a cancer has metastasized when some of the «ncer cells have been carried by blood or lymph to other parts of the body to set up new cancers In these locations. This does not utrually occur in the early stages of the disease and that is why we say early cancer Is curable. Take breast cancer for example. According to Dr. Eugene P. Pendergrass of Pennsylvania, the pattent herself is the first line of dafetue against breast cancer, it is her job to watch for those Aligns of cancer which can be seen or felt, ouch as a lump in the breast, and to consult a doctor immediately if she notes any of them. Whether or not a woman has signa dr eiddeoce of cancer she should have an examinaUou

kee Stadium. Recovering from the shadow of death the Babe Bounded like a voice from the grave. Always the idol of youngsters, the King of Swat, urged boys to start playing baseball early. The medal given him read: "To Babe Rutb, whose tremendous batting average through the years is exceeded only by the size of his heart." That tribute, should help keep him a live. Q. {J— — The result of the national elections in Japan over the week end. General MacArthur declares, Is that the Japanese people decisively rejected communism. Under the supervision of the American general, a free election was held ' and the Communist party lost ground everywhere, electing only four of the 466 members of the house of representatives. It speaks well for the future of Japan and the example set by MacArthur and American troops. I Employment is expected to . reach its peak late in the summer with about 5S million persons gain-' ( fully employed, a government ' agency forecasts. Seasonal farm and construction lines will boost j employment, and then It is expected that hiring will taper oft. ) Well, it might if we keep on talk- i t ing about a crash, human nature is ' such that It will gartify its wish. < With more than 5» millions em- , ployed, we don't see how business can go in a down-spin, unless the 1 inflation bogey causes a stalemate f in buying. ——o o— — f Parents need not hesitate to take their children to the free J health clinic at the Lincoln school Wednesday. A free physi | cal examination will he given the | child by a local physician and a , health chart will reflect the in ' dividual's condition, with recom- t inendation for correction. During , the summer months the impairment can be corrected and the child will be in robust health for the beginning of school next fail The clinic is sponsored by the Lincoln school Parent-Teachers Association and has that worthy organization's endorsement. o 0 Princess Elizabeth of England had a twenty-first birthday the other day. and made a fine little speech to all British people—with 1 quite a few eavesdroppers all over the world listening tn. She got nice presents, including diamonds for a lovely necklace from South Africa. Elizabeth got a raise in her allowance, too. She gets 560.000 a year now. being all grown up and everything. But her take home pay after taxes is only 514,- j 000. She can 14-ve on it nicely, of course. But it’s a sharp reminder that there was a war there, too. and a national debt which will take years to pay.

made by her doctor mrgularly every six months. It is sugested by Dr. Pendergrass that any woman past 3S years of age should examine her breasts for cancer signs once a month. These signs include a lump in the breast, any deformity of the breast, such as attachment of the skin to the tissues underneath. This causes a slight depression of the skin. Other signs are retraction or pulling-in of the nipple, bleeding or a discolored discharge from the nipple, and enlargement of the lymph glands in the armpit. Because many of these ulgtis may Indicate some condition other than cancer, a woman should not be overcome with fear if one of them Is discovered. In fact, no one should fear cancer but rather remember that. If the condition is diagnosed early enough, it can be cured. However, lack of fear should not mean carelessness or keep patients from consulting the doctor at once if suspicious signs are present. Only the physician can make an accurate diagnosis. If the condition is not cancerous the patient’s mind will be put at rest. If It is cancerous, no time will be in securing proper treatment. Pain, as a rule. Is either a symptom of late cancer or of some other abnormal condition, if a woman has a lump in her breast, she should not wait until pain dervtope to have nu «xaiu>u»iiou made By then it may be too late.

CHAPTER TWENTY LEDA WAS looking exceptionally wclL Her dark hair, with the light fronting of gray, was swirled in a shining crest. The deep purple of her well-cut dress gave her a regal took, augmented by the pearl choker she wore and the pearl clips on her ears. Roger said, hto eyes appreciative as he leaned back on the divan, a brandy goblet in his hand. “You're looking very lovely tonight, my dear." “Why, thank you, Roger," Leda said with pleasure. She had just seated herself in a chair opposite the divan when Roger spoke. Now she settled back comfortably and let her eyes rest on his face above the rim of her glass as she sipped the warming amber liquid. Roger was looking well, too, oho thought. But then, Roger always looked well. He was of medium height, with good shoulders and no tendency toward fat. The gray hair receding in two stoping points above his temples gave him a distinguished look. The blue eyes behind his rimless spectacles were intelligent and keen and his mouth was firm, if a little lacking in humor. He said now, "A few months back 1 thought you were looking tired, rather disturbed. I thought you were probably working too hard. Now you seem more rested.’’ Leda smiled. “I had no Idea you | noticed, Roger. But it wasn’t my work—l love that. For a while I i was rather worried ove- Vai.’’ “Yes, 1 know.” Rogsr Bedloe nodded. "Children are a great responsibility. Sometimes I’ve been just as Mtlsfied not to have had any. Then again—" He left it at that Leda said, “Vai went through such a miserable time—but now that she’s married everything seems to be fine with he.'. She and Wade are very happy—not that I see much of them, they're so busy all the time with their own friends —and they’ve boon away loL" “It must have taken quite a toad off your mind to see her settled, after all that other tragic business." “Oh, yes,” Leda said. Her eyes , grew thoughtful. “Vai was quite a worry to me for a while. She's —different than Sherry—harder, more reckless. Sherry's an agreeable child, ahe trios to do what I want Vai never cared—and after Rick died, she grew even worse. She resented my having talked her out of marrying him before he went away—although everything has certainly worked out better than it possibly could have if I hadn’t interfered. She sees that now, too, I’m sure. She’s been very sweet—the few times I’ve seen her since her marriage to Wade ...” Leda's voice trailed off. Roger turned his brandy goblet around and around in hto fingers. “You’ve been a wonderful mother to those girls. Leda. I hope they appreciate you. Working so hard to give them every luxury, devoting your every free thought to their welfare.” “Why, Roger, wbat a nice thing tow.” ♦ *’ » ,k. J * -

"Sometimes," the man on the divan went on slowly, his eyes on her face, “I've thought you gave too much time and thought to your work and your children." "But—what else have I?” Leda asked. “Those things are my whole life." Roger Bedloe set hl* glass down on the coffee table and leaned forward a little, his elbows on his knees. He said, “Sometimes, Leda, ft seems to me you hardly have time to remember yourself—that you're still an attractive woman, with a woman’s natural needs and desires. Sometimes I think you've lived for your work and your children to the point where you haven't had a chance to fulfill your personal destiny.” “What an odd idea, Roger," Leda Mid after a moment Never had he spoken to her In this vein before. She didn’t like it -she didn't like it at all! Fulfill her personal destiny, indeed! What did he mean? What more personal destiny was there for a woman than marriage, children, work that she loved? The fact that Tom had died fairly young didn't aiter anything. She Etill bad her children, her work. She was still quite Mtlsfied with her life. What had got into Roger, Leda wondered. He wm staring at her, too, In a way she didn’t care for*. There was a kind of warmth back of his blue eyes she didn’t wholly understand. Or maybe she simply didn't want to understand. Roger Mid quietly, “Leda, you needn't pretend with me. We know each other so well—and I’m so very fond of you.” “I'm—fond of you, too," Leda Mid. “Your friendship means a great deal to me, ft always has.” Roger leaned back again and the , warmth of his glance was guardi ed, controlled. Leda could almost , convince herself she had Imagined i it He seemed his usual self again —the self Leda liked so much betI ter!—sitting there relaxed and easy once more, reaching out tor ’ his drink. He said, “Os course, you’re right, i my dear. For a woman in your . position and a man In mine, dto- , cretion is absolutely necessary. Friendship to our only possible re- ! lationship and it’s better not to [ let ourselves forget it even in pri- . vate. But—there’s one thing I feel I should tell you, something you have a right to know. Then I ( won’t mention it again—till later.” Leda could only ait there, star--1 Ing at him, a little pussaled frown [ knitting her brow, her fingers i tense around her glaas. i Roger Bedloe cleared hie throat > and stared down at hto drink un- > comfortably. This isn’t easy to . speak of. esperuwiy under the cirl cumstancM. Perhaps you’ll even . think ma guilty of bad taste. And r yet—a certain measure of’frankr ness Is necessary.’ My wife has I grown much worse lately. Her . heart to very bad.

“There, my dear. Don't say anything. I know how hard this to for you. And—l'm not callous, believe me. I loved Margaret once- but she's been ill so tong, we’ve been apart ao many yeara, whatever there was between us to blurred now, unreal. And I’ve known she couldn’t ever be well again." “I’m sorry,” Leda said, trying to fight off the smothering senMtion ; that settled over her. "I'm truly i sorry, Roger. But I still don’t see ; why you feel you have to—" "All right," Roger Mid quietly, ] “if you prefer, we'll consider toe i subject closed. But later, Leda—" ' “Please, Roger—" “AU right,” he Mid again. “All 1 right, my dear." He smiled and ] Leda mw that she had been wrong < in thinking she imagined the light ] In his eyes. It was stiU there, < steady, a little frightening. He Mid, “This to excellent , brandy—very good indeed.

It was only a little after lunch time and Leda had just arrived home , from work unexpectedly early. She said, “Somehow the thought < of the country appeals to me today. The farm should be restful ■ and relaxing. And it will be pleas- 1 ant to see Steve and Pen again.” "They'll love aeeing you, too." Sherry concurred, putting aside ; that first little reaction of unwillingness with a sense of guilt “And I’ll love having you go 1 along."
