PARENTS ARE PROTECTORS '
AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS
Ah a person approaches adolescence,
the possibility of infection from the'
serious type of tuberculosis Increases
rapidly. It kills one out of every seven
youuK men who die and oue out of
every four young women. It Is thu
grmire&V cauqe of disability among
those of college age. It hits the girls
liurder and works faster in them, attacking
most readily the girl who
marries and has a child very young
"Fifteen years ago, says Doctor
Harold S. Delhi of tho University of
Minnesota, "wo would have been at a
loss to know how to proceed in the
face of these facts." The disease was
usually not discovered until symptoms
appeared. A positive diagnosis was,
If not a death sentence, usually a
sentence of oxlle. Under the circumstances,
It was only human to put off
facing fucts about Infection as long
us one could.
Now, however, we lonow that If
discovered In tho early stages, tuberculosis
may usually be arrested easily.
Discovered In time, the disease can
nearly always be successfully treated
without Interfering seriously with ordinary
work. During this tlmo tho
Individual should be uuder constant
observation of X-ray to watch the progression
or recession of the disease.
Medical scientists and public health
experts have given us exact methods
of diagnosis. .
Parents should know if the best Is
to be accomplished toward preventing
nnd curing tuberculosis In young people.
they and not the youngsters
must do It. You can't rely upon adolescents
to take even simple precautions
about their health. They are
likely to show unwillingness to undergo
medical examination Just as they
would object to any other Inspection
of their private lives.
What should bo dona by way of
protection Is difficult to carry out.
it couslsts In checking up on the drcle
Ju which youngsters live. The Ideal
would be t0 make examinations for
tuberculosi* as regular as the exau}'|
Inatiou of the family tcgth by a dbn-l
tlst, but few of us get around to do
it. There are certain Instances, however,
In which we must always consider
the possibility of the disease.
. J
No servant should be taken into a
home without a thorough medical examination.
Trained nurses, when engaged to
care for children and young people,
should be carefully chosen. Older people
in ill health should be taken Into
consideration and tests made. Generally
speaking, physical contact of the
?oung with the old and sick is to
be discouraged.
In a family where there has been
a case of tuberculosis, It Is well for
all''ip^'mbers of tfiA' household to be
X-rayed once a year. Tuberculosis Is
not hereditary, but it spreads eablly
from one generation to another In the
ordinary contacts of home life, and
spociul precautions are required in
a family where it has once taken Its
toll.
The parent who Is everlastingly on
the Job as health officer for the family
will remember that tubercle bacilli,
like moths, huve to be hunted,
not once In a lifetime, but over and
over again.
The Kershaw County Tuberculosis
Association, with Christmas Seal Sale
funds, maintains a service that helps
parents In tho search for the presence
of tuberculosis infection in the
fnmlly circle.
Wlntor Corn Crop
Lexington, Aug. 24.?Barley Is fast
becoming a "winter corn crop" in
Lexington county, says County Agent
R. * R. Mellette. Excellent yields are
being harvested and farmers are well
ploasod with the fine crop. Tne Indications
are that the coming year's
crop will be more than doubled. C. O.
Amlck, Jr., is harvesting a crop of 30
acres with an average yield of at
least 40 bushels per acre. B. V. Shealy
and W. K. Shealy, two of the pioneer
growers In their community, have excellent
crops of barley. A group of
farmers made a trip to Marett's seed
farm at Westminster, and wore so impressed
with the new varieties of
barley they bought for fall delivery
about 80 bushels of the best seed for
sale.

Banking Does Not 8tand $tiil
No business can stand still and
serve the nation to the limits of its
capacity. That is true of banking as
any other calling. And banking realizes
it?as Indicated by the Graduate
School of Banking, maintained by the
American Bankers Association, whose
work is to give men a better understanding
of the duties and obligations
of their profession.
Robert M. Hane?, President of the
Association, recently said this; "The
best preparation for the future lies
in the development of our capacities
In the present. We shall be prepared
to meet the changes of the future to
the degree that we are masters of ourselves
lii our profession in the present. I
The banking system is the keystone
of the American economic order.
Whatever strains and whatever ohang-|
es are visited upon the business or-j
der by the conflicts in Europe v/ill be'
reflected in It. They can be coped;
with successfully only by bankers |
who are the masters of their busi-J
ness. From this point of view the
Graduate School of Banking is thej
hope of banking."
Banking, Mr. Hanes continued, baa
always been responsive to the'^country's
needs. At the same time ,if has
reflected a certain amount of 'parochialism.
It Is this parochialism, he
added, which the Graduate School is
overcoming?by "lifting the thinking
of hundreds of men beyond the confines
of their own local business environment;
giving wider horizons to
their thought and an understanding
of banking and the economic forces
related to it." .
Today local problems and national
problems are Inseparable. Today we
must all look beyond the boundaries
of.oAin Qwrtjpvya and .countyjuud jmc.
state, and Into the vast spaces of the
en life, unified country. Banking is doing
that?which moans that banking
will bo ready, whatever demands are
made ujx>n It, and whatever problems
the future may hold for this country.

TIMELY REPAIRS MEAN
BETTBR MOWER SERVICE
One of the best investments a farmer
can make is timely repairs and adjustments
to tho mower, says County
Agent \V. C. McCarloy. Good caro
increases the life of the mower, reduce*
the draft, and improves the
Quality of the work done. I>oss of time
from breakdowns is also reduced when
die mower is kept in good running
condition.
The "heart" of the mower is the
cutter-bar assembly, where probably
?0 per cent of all mower troubles
originate, the agent declares. A good
Job of cutting requires that the cutter-bar
and guard plates be In proper
alignment. The knife should be sharp
and centered so it will register properly
It Is also Important that the
knifo sections rest flat on the guard
plates In order to give a smooth outting
action.
Mr McCarley advises that farmers
who are Interested in checking their
mowers for needed repairs and adjustments
can find some very helpful
Information in Extension Circular 173,
Mower Repairs and Adjustments. This
I
circular may be secured from the county
agent's office or by writing direct
to the Extension Service at Clemson.
ANCIENT MARINE WHEEZE8
HAVE GONE BY THE BOARD
Gone are many of the old-time
pranks which are played at the expense
of the hapless recruit, according
to Sergeant Homer E. Tinklepaugh,
who interviews applicants for
service In the Marines Corps In the
Columbia City Hall Building, Room
16.
"A few years ago every recruit was
regarded as a greenhorn," says the
sergeant "and was considered legitimate
prey for the oldtimers who
delight In sending him on some mythical
errand aboard ship or In the
barracks."
Today, when somewhat higher educational
standards prevail, the average
recruit is not nearly so gullible
as formerly.
Only a few years ago oil lamps
were used in the Navy, it was not uncommon
for a chief petty officer to
send some recruit for some green oil
for starboard lamps, or red oil for
port. Sometimes they were sent to
find W. T. Doors, only to learn later
they were not in search of an individual
but for water-tight doors.
A classic example of humor in the
old Navy or Marine Corps was Charley
Noble. "Charley Noble" was the
funnel In the ship's galley or kitchen
In the days when wood was used as
fuel.
Sometimes it was necessary to
clear the funnel of soot and a blank
cartridge was fired into it. After the
explosion it took a lot of elbow grease
to clean up the galley. One can Imagine
the amaflement of a recruit
when he was told in all seriousness
that the cook was going to "shoot
Charley Noble at eight bells."
Occasionally "rookie'^ sentinels of
the Marine Corpd are asked foolish
questions as to how they would behave
in some Impossible situation.
One of these questions Is thifi: "What
would you do if you saw a battleship
steaming across the parade grounds?"
The time-honored reply Is: "I'd run as
fast as I could for the doctor."
"When everything Is considered I
believe that would be a real sensible
decision, don't you?" remarked the
sergeaut wlho, perhaps, was giving
the newspaper reporter a gentle ribbing
on his own account.

Wichita, Hans., Aug. 26.?I^ancaster
(South Carolina) Red Roses couldn't
stop the heavy hit and run barrage
the Duncan, Okla., Halliburton Cementers
slapped on them and as a
result they were eliminated from the
national semi-pro baseball tournament
tonight by a 17 to 2 score.
Wallace Lynch, Harold Northrupp
and Sam Fowler couldn't stop the defending
champion's 16-hit attack in
the contest that was trimmed to even
innings by the tournament rules,
which gives a team a win If It has an
eight-run lead at the end of seven
chapters.

General News Notes
Turkey is reported In informed quar-^
ters In Athens, to have promised
Greece to come to her aid in the
event Qreece is threatened by Italy.
A bitter press campaign against proBritish
Greece has been underway In
ijUuly since an Albanian patriot, Daut
Iloggia, was decapitated near the Albanian-Greek
border a week ago.
Government purchase of the farmer's
leisure time to improve his soil
and develop his land's resources, Is
proposed by C. B. Baldwin, national
administrator of the farm security administration.
This would enable an
attack from two angles on the problem
of rehabilitating low Income, poorly
housed farm families situated on
depleted land, he said. ???
Two men, listed as E. A. McCain
and K-nry Steproe, are being held at
Hot Springs, Ark., for questioning in
connection with the death of Louise
Blakely. 15. The girl was fatally injured
Monday, .-when, she -allegedly-leaped
from a taxicab in which she
and a sister, Clesteene, were returning
from a suburban club which they
had visited with two men. They denied
that she had been mistreated on
the way home. '
A cryptic reference to the possibility
of German difficulties with the
Soviet air forces, was made in the
house of commons by British Prime
Minister Winston Churchill Tuesday.
Discussing the inevitability of continued
Nazi air raids, Churchill said:
"We may bo sure that he will continue
as long as he has strength and as
1 long as any preoccupations he may
! have with respect to the Russian air
force may allow him to do so."
A compressed air gun which the inventors
say will shoot 10.000 times a
minute?and possibly many morehas
been demonstrated at Los Angeles
with half-inch ball bearings as
bullets. At 100 feet the missiles pierced
airplane armor plate and cut a
3-inch oak plank in two. The gun
emits only a gentle hissing noise. The
steel balls shot out so quickly they
struck brilliant sparks from each other
at the targets. The inventors are W.
B. Hale and Durand Beam.
Germany has enough to feed her vanquished,
Hugh Dalton, British minister
of economic warfare,- told the
house of commons. He said the Reich
has about 7,000,000 tons of bread grain
In Germany Itself, and some 2,000,000
tons In occupied territories. However,
he added, the Germane have set up
a virtual one-way traffic for the removal
of goods from><j?noocupied to
occupied France. Dalton said steps
are being taken to inform yptttrals of
this situation.
Germany has advised the ,United
States that Dr. Friedrich Reed, one of
its consuls in New York, is being
transferred to this country as a result
of the state department's Investigation
of his activities. Reed recently
came to this couptry from Brazil,
where his activities had proved objectionable
to authorities. As a result
the state department was asked by
the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi league to
Investigate him It Is understood that
Reed will become consul general at
Kobe, Japan. .
