That Is why all my appointments are
made with a huge IF oeewpying a
conspicuous place In them.
"Tor that matter." continued Miss
TMckford after we had been comforta
bly seated, "'the . role of Cho-Cho-San
has been about as nebulous to me as
my appointments. 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.

shown driving the dogs, lie is distinguished by a stick carried in the right hand. Lieutenant Rene
llanse of the French army appears at the right in a Stetson hat "Scotty" Allen, well known dog
racer, walks just behind Lyng.
"Somewhere in kJianco" Alaskan
dogs are to play an important part in
the miow r-anipLiigriM of the French
army this winter. Inured to pulling
heavy loads over the snow they will

Alaska-Malamutes and Slberlan-Mala-mutes
were chosen, among them the
racing pack of "Shorty" Allen, five
times winner of the Alaska sweep
stakes for a purse of $10,000. "Shorty"
sold all but four of his dogs.
When the time came to ship them
by boat from Nome to Vancouver the
lut dogs were tied together by a one
inch rope, SI'.' feet long. Attached to
a 10 ton truck to restrain their im
petuous desire to go forward they made
the longest dog team ever hooked up.

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. Aren't they a
perfect riot of color! I have never
seen such Ingenuity in combining
shades and tones into a harmonious
blending. And the weird designs that
they trace Rll ovr the kimonos. I
wonder If the originators of some of

' "Still, if one of theSTartlsts should
happen to stroll down Fifth avenue
and see some of our alleged styles,
they might be tempted to say the same
of us." added Miss Tickford with a
smile. '
"There is another thing that amazei
me about Japanese customs. Why on
earth do the girls the smallest in
the world Insist upon piling great
masses of hair and huge hair orna
ments on top of their heads? They
all look as If they would topple over
in a strong wind, they seem so top
heavy. And deliver me from their
wooden sandals. I would rather learn
to 'skate on ice all over again than
learn to manipulate those awful san

of reproach to her false lover, was
overdrawn? 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

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

They take their medicine and they
swallow it without a whimper. So I
am very proud to have been chosen to
Interpret Cho-Cho-an, as I consider
her to be one of the noblest charac

Titled Woman to
Aiding War Victims
Z.ady Aberdeen and Husband, Lord
Aberdeen, Eere to Lecture at Selllg,
ITOTember 23.
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.

New York, Nov. 21. For 30 years
Gustav F. 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. Youns, of Chicago,
formerly of this city, will read Tenny
son's "Enoch Arden." with Strauss
musical setting; Miss Ada Alice Tut
tle will preside at the piano. 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.
