I I I THE WINNIPEG EVENING TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1933 Virginia Vane Says PROMISING SUITORS MUST BE INVESTIGATED TO AVERT TRAGEDY the world today? CONSTANCE M. Dear Miss Vane-What is your opinion of this case? A young man, the son of very wealthy people met a girl in the South. She was working to support herself and had a good job. The young man, after six months' correspondence with this girl, persuaded her to give up her job and come north on the understanding that he had obtained a good position and could afford to marry her, When she came north he annexed practically all her savings, saying that he needed them to help buy a home. After he had relieved her of her small bank account he proceeded to explain that the whole affair had been a great joke--hat he had no job at all, and that he depended on his parents for What do you think of a support.

wealthy family who, knowing the whole story, could calmly live in luxuary knowing that a girl had been put in a desperate position without friends, money or home simply because of a prank of their son's. The girl, I may add, was refused even a loan for the money. back home? Isn't it hard to realize that there such people living in There is no punishment too severe, words too excoriating for the selfish cruelty described in this letter. It is incredible that human beings can treat each other this way in a civilized age. No matter what the parents' justification for their actiona, there can be no excuse for their utter lack of ordinary human kindess.

But this letter was not printed simply in order to give a glimpse of the ugly side of human nature. I CULBERTSON On CONTRACT NOT BRIDGE Although she has been playing Contract Bridge only for eight months, Mrs. Oswald Jacoby has developed a very fine partnership with her husband. However, one of the general features is that Mr. Jacoby seems to play practically every hand, and usually at three notrump.

It is a sort of unwritten rule In the family that if Mr. Jacoby bids three Mrs. Jacoby passes, but every Yo once in a while she rebels. The following is an example. It was the first hand of a rubber in a match against Mr.

and Mrs. Ogden Phipps. The hand: North, Dealer. Neither side vulnerable. NORTH Mrs.

12-Mra. Jacoby is still bewildered and rebellious. 13-Mr. Phipps must make one bid. 14-Mr.

Jacoby determines to play the hand at all costs. 15-Mre. Phipps still doubling. The remarkable feature of the hand is that, due to Mre. Phipps having the Ace-Queen of hearts alone, there is absolutely no defence against six clubs, which Mr.

Jacoby proceeded to make by setting up his diamonds. (Copyright, 1933) That Body of Yours by James W. Barton, M.D. IS CANCER INCREASING? You read in the papers cancer is increasing, and that heart and blood vessel disease is increasing so rapidly that it now stands at the head of the list as cause of death, Both these statements are true, and yet the same figures will show that, despite increase in cancer and heart disease, deaths are fewer from all causes now than they were. This means that while some ground has been lost to cancer and heart disease, more ground has been won from the ravages of infectious diseases diphtheria, typhoid, and others.

Thurlow Macklin, Madge London, Canada, states that cancer is increasing because by our public health methods, so many children and young people are prevented from dying that naturally there is much larger population to grow old; and having grown old they are kept from dying of those ills of which they formerly suffered. It is the work of our health organizations that is responsible Far more it was intended to show some other girls the folly of human nature. Far more it was inten to show some other girls the folly of leaving security to follow a will-o-the-wisp romance. Dozens of girls write telling me of jobs promised them in far-distant cities by infatuated young men who want to be near them. Dozens of times I have urged the girls to remain home, stick to their good jobs, hang to their friends and let the infatuated suitors find some other means being near them.

Suppose now the girl in Constance's letter had written to me and I advised her to her friends or relatives investigate the situation. Indignantly would have repudiated my faintest, suggestion that her hero the finest type of manhood in the country. for insisting that his family write to her and make it certain that she was to be received as a future daughter-in-law--what what impertinence! Should such god-like creatures as his family be troubled by a mere financee of their son's? Certainly not. But perhaps now that Constance M. has come forward wtih such a graphicillustration of the necessity for being business-like even about love affairs some few hundred love-blinded maidens will use their heads as well as their hearts in dealing with promises of marriage.

Twenty-One: It is foolish and wrong of your friend to take this attitude about a trivial accident. However, if she is determined to be unreasonable and you care for her sufficiently to go on seeing her in spite of her feminine whims -it might be worth while to make a special effort to repair the damage done. In fact, instead of sending her A Christmas gift you might easily have replaced the broken article. Remember that when her birthday comes along, and sacrifice sentiment for (Copyright, 1933) for the increase in the span of life. People past 50 haven't any better chance to live longer than had our ancestors, but up to a few years ago the deaths in babies and children in their frat year was about 3 in 10, whereas it is now only 3 in 40.

And just as these infectious ailments have been conquered, so will man also conquer cancer. A short time ago a great deposit of pitchblende was discovered in Canada, and already a number of tons have been brought by aeroplane to a refining plant. It is from pitchblende that radium is obtained, and this will mean that radium will soon be in the hands of many physicians instead of being found only in 1 hospitals, such has been its extreme scarcity. As you know, radium is doing wonderful work in curing cancer if the cancer is located where the radium can be applied, Man has not discovered the cause of cancer yet, but until he does do so he has radium, the ray, and the knife with which he can fight it successfully in its early stages. WHAT'S WHAT IN HOLLYWOOD By MOLLIE MERRICK HOLLYWOOD, March 15-That all-American version of "Cavalcade," which every studio will be making, is being written for Warner's- -or was written rather -by an old lady, and it's called "America Kneels."

Our Children By ANGELO PATRI PENNY WISE I am a school man and so, of course, am tremendously interested in the management of schools! in any part of the world. The school is the vital organ of society. Wound It and society is going to suffer even to extremity.

We are frantically searching for ways to save public funda For some reason, old ER-AH- I CALLED OH, I'M SO To SEE DOC NOW ANY PULLER! DOCTOR, PULLER DENTIST DE LUX The scene was new to him and he was puzzled. Now he realized he was over a hundred miles from home, and he determined to put back at once; but the mystery of the basin country lured him on to a closer view of it.

He wondered why he had never come upon this country in his many wanderings, why he had not even heard of it from the natives Dropping to a lower level, he now discovered the basins were a series of shallow craters of long extinct volcanoes. as education itself, never clear to my understanding, the first place the economy hits is the school. Today, all over the country, throughout the world as far as I can see, schools are being deprived of the generous public support that the hard-fought battle of years had partially won for them. Classes are enlarged, working conditions for teachers made harder, money withto 8 degree that endangers the efficient working of the schools. As the fact that schools are run for the benefit of the children, and that these children are our own, the only hope of existence we have, seenis to be overlooked.

The salaries of the teachers are attacked. The school budgets are scrutinized with grudging eyes and cut to the bone. All sorts of economy schemes are proposed without, seemingly, the slightest regard for the welfare of the children. The taxpayer has many friends; the SO SORRY! HE'S OUT JUST NES. SEST THING I I I I CAN DO FOR YOU? SURE Doe PULLER PLATES REPAIRED BUT NOT CUPS AND I SAUCERS Suddenly the solution of the mystery dawned upon him, and he knew it was the so-called Great Thorn Forest.

He had indeed heard of the Impenetrable thicket supposed to cover a vast area and into which only the smallest of animals could venture. Now, from above, he saw it was but a relatively narrow fringe encircling pleasant, habitable country, but a fringe so cruelly barbed as to have forever protected the secret that it held from the eyes of man. body and mind. High thinking and is noble doing are not born of undernourishment. Mind and body must be fed if there is to be any health in this coming generation.

That means that money for the purpose must be provided. It is right that teachers' salaries be reduced reasonably. Be careful about that reasonable limit. When you reduce a teacher's salary, a group of people have their standards of living reduced. No teacher lives by himself.

When you crowd a teacher's class you reduce that teacher's strength, vitality and ambition in the proportion of the overcrowding. The whole class loses, not just the few who are added in excess. When you add teaching hours to an already full day you again reduce the teacher. By and by you have nothing left but this shell of a teacher who is makIng motions before a class who make motions in their turn. That By SMALL TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE HE'LL BE OUT AGAIN!

With money lying unused, locked in our strong-boxes, We are poverty-stricken. It is all unreal and must soon pass, leaving us with clearer heads and braver hearts. In the meantime, what of the children? Instead of centring upon the salaries teachers receive, why not centre upon what the children, our own children, the life current of America, are receiving?
