(MTOBKH eT 1933 IIEACTY PAYS DIVIDEND The following extract from a letter received at the office of the Chamber of Commerce from an Ohio lady thla past week: "laist April I pa*sod through your city returning from a winter spent in Florida and being on the Creyhound?bux had the opportunity to seo so'mo of Camden's beauty and charm along the route. I then decided to try to get some further information a:. to a winter place to >tay thero." That praise coming from a traveler in itself ftfiowa that Camdeh's l>oauty. is enjoyed and remembered, So it is urgently toques ted of all citizens, owning property -to join in the clean-up, pain Cup and plant-up campaign being sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. So let's, all get ' busy and clean pp dead . shrubbery, plant grass, knock down unsightly buildings and dn?general give your premise* that cared for look. Camden has much natural charm, With its wide, tree-shaded streets find flower gardens and with attention to keeping them tidy, it will be one of the most attractive towns in the. country and the goal of winter tour- j , ists seeking a milder climate in a charming locality. THE VJIXACE BLACKSMITH Smithsonian Institute *to Try to Preserve Tools of Old Industry Washington, I). C.?.The village blacksmith's shop is to be saved from 1 oblivion. # f The Smithsonian Institution is making a collection of the tools ilnd other paraphernalia of the smithy which, although a flourishing institution a hillf century ago, now is , afl- ' most extinct. Already it may bo too late to reproduce entirely this colorful bit of a bygone culture. Only in a few isolated communities does the blacksmith's shop still -persist in anything like its old condition, and even in these it has many of its functions : and the old homemade tools have bean replaced by standardized manufactured articles. Among the articles being collected are -wage blocks?-heavy blocks of iron in which the smith forged dies for articles which he made in considerable numbers, such as bolt heads.; The latest swage block to come to the collection was a die for making iron } spoons. It was found in Virginia and dates from about the time of the! Civil War. These swage blocks provide a valuable record' of the culture of the past, when the blacksmith madi a great many of the household articles irk.common use. \ ises, tongs and sledges also arc being collected. Up to the present if^has been impossible to secure a good example of the old bellows made of wood and leather. When one is, picked up, it usually Ls in such a di- 1 lapidated condition that it would have ' to be almost entirely remade. Tne village blacksmith, it is explained, was one of the last survi- i ( vors of the handcrafts age and often1 a highly skilled artisan, able to do ' about anything with metal. Some were general blacksmiths?horseshoers, wagon men, and producers of all sorts of farm and household tools. Others were specialists, such as those : who did only the iron work on wagons and were highly skilled in such ] jobs as fitting tires. Some black- I smiths also made rifles, and there are | a few left who rebore and rerifle gun 1 I barrels by hand. Of course, there are many black-1 smith's shops left -but they differ greativ from the institution which ' ? ' ' ^1 . contributed 00 much to the progress of American civilization during the 10th century. The/ new one* use manufactured drills and rotary blowers purchased from the factory. Cheap tools and replaceable purts have restricted their functions to rather narrow limits, and blacksmithing seems rapidly on its way to becoming one of the lost arts. General News Notes _s_ j Samuel Scabnry, Democrat, neme is of former Mayor Jumes J. Walker of New York, is just back from a rest in Kuropu and will campaign fpr the election of Fierello H. La(Juaidiu, Republican, for mayor a' 'gainst the Tammany candidate for the office. The police court judge ut St. Joseph, Mo., has announced that hereafter ail tines imposed for liquor, law violations shall b# bitt 10 cents. points out that the minimum tine is fixed at $100, but hereafter he will j give a stay of execution of $00,00 of I each fine. 9 * An army of state police stood on gug-rd with riot guns arid tear gus at Clairtown, Pa., while 500 Fayette county coal miners marched into the town- to try to induce 0,000 workers in the Carnegie steel plant to walk out in a sympathetic strike. There was no disorder and not much success. Willie Mac Whceless, 15, is held by Federal officers in Charlotte, N. C., charged with attempted extortion of> several North Carolina people by threatening kidnaping of members of their families. The girl says she was trying to get money to pay college expenses. By the crash of a passenger boat and a freighter in the Hudson river Muring a fog early last Wednesday morning during a dense fog at Poughkeepsic, 200 passengers of the river steamer "Itensseleaer" were imperiled. Only four of the passengers were injured. A big hole was torn In the side, of the passenger boat. A New Orleans jury convicted one Pearl Lodet of that city on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in that she had killed a man with an automobile and she was sent to jail in punishment. Another jury /reed another woman after she had killed her gangster, common-law husband. One of the city's newspapers put up such a fight for the Lodet girl that the judge granted her a new trial and the prosecuting attorney nol prossed the case against her. Big buyers of North Carolina tobacco, much of which is used in cigarette making, nre. said in a Washington dispatch to have agreed to pay a minimum of 17 cents a pound for at least as much tobacco as they used during the year ending June 30, estimated at 250,000,000 pounds. As a result of the fixed average price for tobacco there may follow an increased price for cigarettes. Strikers of workers for higher wages and better working conditions under terms of the NBA codes are in progress in many sections of the country. In New York there are from 75,000 to 100,000 workers on strike in various lines; in Detroit 8,000 auto tool makers are on strike; several thousand workers in the Ford plant at Chester, Ph., are out. The strikes of truck drivers' have paralyzed transportation in the vicinity of Hartford, Conn., and at Patcrson, N. J., the silk workers continue to hold out for their demands. Bread de-1 liveries in Philadelphia have been curtailed because truck drivers are demanding more pay and better working hours. The threatened strike 0/ pilots of the air lines has been averted by their getting the pay which they demanded. Daniel Roper, secretary of commerce, speaking in New York, declared that such strikes 1 are but natural in a transitional I stage and should not seriously disturb the recovery program. i X | Welcome, Fair Week Visitors ! ^ >> \ \ Now that you are getting your new fall togs, why not touch up that old wave with a few curls, much needed with the new hats.

The higher the humidity of the air, the lowe the cloud levels, because moisture-laden air does not have to nsceiul so high to reach Its dewpoint and condense its vapor. Fog Is it j cloud In contact with the ground. Next above is Hie scud region, from 300 to 1,000 feet up in the air, with Its low-flying clouds which are seen under the raining nimbus clouds. The nimbus, formless thick masses from which the rain Is falling, have an average base altitude of three-fifths of a mile. The stratus Is another lowflying cloud, foglike In character, often merging Into the nimbus, and again clearing away like a lifting fog. In some cases it is the velo cloud, -.which is originally a thick fog layer, the lower stratum of which has been dissipated by warming. The fleecy cumulus clouds are- formed at varying heights, their bases ranging in altitude from 'J,(MM) to 4,000 or more feet, and their tops averaging perhaps twice as high. In their thunderstorm proportions. when they have become cumulonimbus clouds, their tops usually soar to a height of three or four miles, sometimes to seven or more miles. The highest of all clouds, the cirrus and eirro stratus, so high that the.v are of snow even in summer, are found at levels from two to seven miles high. Clouds from Intense volcanic eruptions have been observed at still greater heights, some in north ern ami central Furopc about fifty miles high during tlie few years fol lowing the great Krakatoa explosion of 1SK3. How Ann Arbor Got lit Name To Ann Allen and Ann Runteey, wives of the town's pioneers, It owes Its name. In IS-4 two pllgftms from the east, prospective settlers in the Michigan territory, met in Detroit andJoined their fortunes. These two were John Allen, from Virginia, and Ellsha Rumsey, from Genesee county. New York. They penetrated the forest and locnted on a beautiful tract of public land, embracing n burr oak plain, situated with the Huron river on the north and east and a smnll stream since known as Alton's creek on the west. The home they established here was named for the wives, Ann's Arbor. Then, without the apostrophe and s. the name was extended fo the village laid out on the site.

GOODALE, JR., Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can be controlled. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. A'or will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right liquid laxative brings a perfect- movement, and there is no discomfort at the tiiqe, or after. The wrong cathartic may keep you constipated as long as you keep on using it! And the habitual use of irritating salts, or of powerful drugs in the highly concentrated form of pills and tablets may prove injurious. A week with a properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A few weeks* time, and your bowels can be "as regular as clockwork." Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use.lt makes an ideal family laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child Member N.
