New Hope For Cancer Cure Seen By Doctor Chicago—New hope for cancer sufferers—hope that centers in those mysterious substances known as "hormones”—was held out by Dr. Antoine La Cassagne, associate director of the famed Curie Insti tute of the University of Paris. Now on a lecture tour in the United States on invitation of lead-; [ ing medical and science groups, I Dr. La Cassagne said: "Great progress in the under standing of cancer has been made. The major lines of present research are especially promising.” The research with which Dr. La Cassagne and the Curie scientists are principally concerned now is that involving hormones, or chemi cal substances which circulate through the body, producing changes in its functions and con dition. Dr. La Cassagne said: "There is evidence that, for every hormone, there is an antag onistic hormone. The problem, then, is to determine the cancer producing hormone, and then try to identify and stimulate the action of the hormone that will fight it.” Making the cancer-fighters’ task all the more difficult, he said, is the fact that there are many different types of the disease, and probably many different causes. If the causes can be determined, then methods of prevention and treat ment can be more intelligently sought. The physician declared: "Surgery, radium and X-ray re main the principal methods of treatment. Research may show us entirely different and more effec tive methods.” Because hormones are transmit ted from parents to children, the importance of learning what hor mones are cancer-producing is tre mendous, the doctor pointed out. The study of cancer-producing chemicals is being led by the Lon don doctors, Kenaway and Cook, he said, and their work has shown a close link between these chamicals and the hormones. Home News "'Don’t try to change your voice.” That’s the advice of Ellen Claire Couch, prominent dramatic coach and teacher of speech. "You are born with your irJ vidual voice—soprano, mezzo or contralto—and are likely to injure your speaking apparatus by any at tempt to change the timbre or quality. No woman should try to force her voice below its natural pitch,” says Miss Couch. She also suggests that many girls make a mistake in thinking that the rule about peaking softly means the use of low, throaty tones. Even a high soprano voice can be as soft and well modulated as a naturally low one. Care in the pronunciation of words, and a pleasant natural, un affected voice that best expresses one’s individual personality, is more important to success' than voice tone, according to Miss Couch. 9 9 9 Silk prints for spring are sprink led with stars, vegetables, birds, beasts and fish.

Today it means greater attention to the importance of vitamins in the diet, for we now know that most 'tonic’ effects come from the vitamins in our foods. Milk, eggs, plus sunlight or cod liver oil, plenty of fruit, and the new green vegetables such as lettuce, celery, endive, parsley, cress and spinach will help supply your quota of spring tonic vitamins. * * * It’s so simple you’d think it would have been done long ago, but a brand new type of metal kitch en stool just shown in Chicago’s Merchandise Mart has a simple fold ing rest that drops down com pletely out of the way when not needed and lets the stool slip easily under a kitchen table. * * * Handy Kitchen Hint: A dajnp cloth will enable you to pick up easily, the smallest fragments of a broken glass. * * # King Henry of England was so pleased with a roast his chef pre pared that he drew his sword and nighted, it on the spot.
