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

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

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.

Altitude of Cloud#
Is Affected by Humidity
ICuch type of cloud has Us own altitude
depending on atmospheric conditions,
In general each type Is lower
In winter than In summer, lower
over humid regions than over deserts,
and lower with Increase In latitude.
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.

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. H. A.
