It was over a year ago that we first thought of (loins "Madame Butterfly," wlien I was at the California studios. It htemed the logical place to stage such a picture, but my director declared t;hnt he knew of a Japanese garden within 30 miles of New York city, that was Infinitely superior to anything that could be found In the west. It seemed impos sible, but we actually found it to be true. Costumes Are Planned. "So we had to postpone the pre sentation of 'Butterfly' until we could come east.

It was almost in the nature of a shock when I. finally received word to make arrangements for my Japanese cos tumes, "And then I began to study Japa nese costumes a little more carefully than I ever did before.

Didn't it impress lier as being a rather idealistic picture of the Japanese character? Japanese Women Studied. "Not at all," declared Miss l'ickford emphatically. "I have been studying the Japanese women very carefully lately, and I sincerely believe that the author knew whereof he spoke when he endowed Oho-Cho-San with her wdnderful faculty for silent suf fering. "They are a Spartan race if ever there was one. What they lack in stature they seem to make up for In 1 willpower. They are the type of peo ple wno wm surier any son oi pnys lcal anguish without an outcry and the same thing applies to mental or spiritual pain. Nothing moves them from' their stolid silence, but they do not give way to hysterical laughter and frivolity to conceal their real feel ings as w-e Americans frequently do.

It Is rarely that people of such dis tinction as the marquis and marchion ess of Aberdeen make lecture tours, and it is only because they are actu ated by great motives that they are addressing meetings in the. United States now. But the war in Europe has caused many changes, and Lady Aberdeen finds that the new conditions have made it so difficult to securu funds whereby to continue her many philanthropies that she has come to America at the request of friends here to make an appeal-to our generosity. Her appeal Is for the women and children' who are made destitute by the war, and who need more care than ever. The saving of babies, the estab lishment of children's hospitals and nursing homes is her aim. Her life, far from that of being an Idle aristocrat, has been one of service and sacrifice for others, and those others always the poor. She has never forgotten that there are more than one class of people inthe world. Lord Aberdeen will be with her, and will also address the meeting with Lady Aberdeen. He will talk of his own life and of the people he has known. He la one of the few surviving mem bers of the Gladstone cabinet. This joint lecture Is to be given at the HeiUg theatre, November 22.

Blair was a gay and gay free human tank; then the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals stepped in, and now Blair wants $25,000 from the estate of William S. Harn merstetn who cancelled his act be cause of the society's protests. Blair would swallow live frogs, gold fish, bees, milk, water, anything, in fact, that the audience desired, barring elephants, and emit them again. He was booked at the Palace theatre two years ago. and his act was cancelled because the S. P. C. A. took it upon Itself to protect the festive frog. Wil liam Hammerstein was manager of the playhouse. Hence the suit. A FINE ENTERTAINMENT On Monday everting, at 8 o'clock, in the First Congregational church audi torium, Mrs. C. O.

The read leg will be preceded by an jrgan recital by Mrs. Leonora Fisher Whipp. The public 1s cordially invited. New York, Nov. 20. (I. N. S.) Ex periments in cancer that may revolu tionize the treatment of that disease have been disclosed by Dr. James B. Murphy 0f the Rockefeller Institute. His remarkable research work was unfolded before the National Academy of Science during its session in the American museum of Natural History. Dr. Murphy's announcement caused a distinct stir. He would not amplify his mere recital of facts aa shown by his experiments. He declined to make predictions. His facts, ho'Aver, were conclusive. Scientists present did not hesitate)to declare thlr . conviction that the theory of cancer treatment heretofore had been erroneous. "We have conducted 'three series of experiments with rats suffering from srontaneous cancer," he said. These experiments were made with a view of determining the role of lymphocytes in resisting cancer. Lymphocytes as lias long been known an- the white corpuscles In the blood which attack foreign tissue. They at tack cancerous growths, too, but to what extent was not known. These experiments were made to find out: Purpose of Experiments. "In the first series of experiments we took a number of rats with spon taneous cancer, and removed the can cer by operation. The animals were then subjected to X-ray treatment wave of stimulating the lymphocytes. "After this a minute portion of the cancer was replaced in the groin of the animals. We found that only BO per cent of the animals so treated were again susceptible to the disease. Of this number only 21.2 per cent showed local recurrence of the cancer. Fifty per cent were immune. "In this series of experiments the average time for the appearance of the giaft after inoculation was five weeks and four days. "The second series consisted of a similar number of rats from which w abstracted the cancer by operation In the same manner. In this case, though we did not use X-rays at all, we placed a minute portion of the cancer into the animal's groin as In the first experiment with the follow ing results: What Teats Developed. "After an average period of one week and five days 96.6 per cent of the animals showed susceptibility to can cer. Of these 48.5 per cent showed local recurrence- of cancer and only 3.4 per cent showed Immunity from the disease. "In the third series of experiments the same general lines were followedd with the exception of X-ray treatment. After removing the cancer by opera tion we treated the cancerous growth t X-rays. The animal was not so treated. We then replaced a minute portion of the cancer In the animal's groin. "The result of this experiment was that in every case the animal showed susceptibility to cancer and 40 per cent to local recurrence of cancer. Not a single animal was Immune. The average time for the appearance of the graft in this experiment was only one- weec and three days. "This can .be summarized as fol- 1 r ti- I '-In e-vnerlmpnt one FiO ner cent of animals were immune from the dis ease. In experiment two 3.4 per cent were immune, while in experiment three, none were Immune. "Tho time taken for the animals to show susceptibility to the disease in the three experiments were as fol lows: "Experiment one, five weeks and four days. Experiment two, one week and five days. Experiment three, one week and three days. "How this treatment would apply to human beings I don't know. We have only made these experiments at pres ent." Discussion Follows. At the conclusion of Dr. Murphy's paper the assembled scientists dis cussed It among themselves. They pointed out whereas hitherto X-ray and radium treatment had always been made upon the cancerous growth itself these experiments showed the very re verse should be done. 470 Cambridge Men Have Fallen in War In AU 10,000 Students and Alumni Are Enlisted in Great Britain's Army 300 Save Won Distinction. Cambridge. Eng., Nov. 20. in a val edictory address delivered to the Uni versity of Cambridge senate on the opening of the academic year. Rev. T. C. Fltzpatrick, vice chancellor said: "The university has shrunk to less than one-third of its former numbers. Figures show that we shall enter on the next civil year with an actual def icit of some 12000 pounds. A strict economy has been practiced by the cen tral authority and by the heads of de partments. In spite of all this, the financial prospect for 1916 cannot but be gloomy. "We know that of Cambridge men not less than 10,000 are fighting or preparing to fight for the defense of their country; that some "00 have been wounded; that over 300 have won distinctions in the field. We know, too, that of the whole number between 2000 and 3300 would in the ordinary course still be living and studying among us. "We pass to the thought of the n:any who will not return. Four hun dred and seventy Cambridge men have iallen; a hundred and fifty of them, at least, should have been undergrade nates still- For these no privilege that OTfe ran devise avails.. Yet the university bears them .upon her heart.
