my son, scudd Clark, a world war

you that he did not go to miamma to

passed down there two weeks ago, but
he wants you all to know that he is
in favor of same and you all mought

this fall.
scudd newer went acrost but he
was reddy at all times ^o face the ger-
mans and italay-ans and russions in
defense of his country for which he
was,drafted to make it safe for the

ADVERTISING PROGRAM
IS LAUNCHED BY VICKS
Greensboro, N. C.—Continuing the
aggressive policies that have estab
lished Vicks products as the recogniz
ed leaders in the colds held, an ad
vertising appropriation representing
a 25 per cent, increase over last year
was announced! here this week for
Vicks VapoRub, Vicks Va-tro-ncl,
Vicks Cough Drops ahd Vicks Vora-
tone Antiseptic.
Three times more weekly news
papers than ever before Are included
in this season’s advertising program,
the largest in Vicks history. Year
after year Vicks enlarges its news
paper advertising—and sales of Vick
products steadily increase.
For many years Vicks VapoRub has
been the world’s most extensively
usej c °ld remedy—the family standby
^for^ treating colds in 68 nations. Over
26,000,000 jars pf this modern exter
nal treatment for colds are now used
yearly in the United States alone. .
Similar international success is be
ing rapidly achieved by Vicks Drops
for nose and throat—which three
years ago introduced a new idea for
prevention of colds.
“The immense success of this
unique aid in preventing colds has
quite naturally brought scores of imi
tations,” President L. Richardson of
the Vick Chemical Company stated.
“The trade-mark—Va-tro-nol— new
featured on the package and in adver
tising, is to avoid public confusion of
the original and exclusive Vicks fop-
mula with other products.’’
“This success has also resulted in
thousands of requests from enthusi
astic users of Va-tro-nol for a half-

There’ is one dog Id the large canine

Bull terrier. It is sad to relate, how
ever, notes a writer In the Philadel
phia Inquirer, that the Bull terrier
has a “dark past” Here Is a calm,
amiable type of dog, a wonderful pet
and household guardian, but one
spoiled by the desires of man many,
many years ago.
Despite the blemish cast upon the
Carly Bull terrier, this bfeed has over
come every obstacle In its path, has
gained thousands of admirers and has
progressed far in the dog show realm
in recent years In England and this
country. /
In reference to the Bull terrier’s
"dark past," tfhlch by the way, was
no‘fault of' the dog, It is Interesting
to learn the “white ’un" many dec

In short, this terrier was used as
A tool of the gambling cult, who
placed these dogs together In a battle,
with large betting odds placed over
their well-molded heads. They fought
quite often to the death, while the
gamblers afid on-lookers watched with
excited glee.
In this business of “pit fighting”
with Bull terriers, the environment
was none of the best, because the so-
called sport was staged In the close
proximity of* taverns. But, the dogs
fought as commanded and ably satis
fied the whims of those gathered
around the pit of canine battling.
There have been many changes
wrought in the general appearance of
the Bull terrier of those “pit fight,"
days.
After that type of Bull terrier
gained notice in England, the pres
ent day type was formed most likely,
when a breeder Is said to have crossed
the strain with a Bulldog and a lithe-
typed terrier known around 1875 as

Two other Vicks aids for better con
trol of colds have been introduced
since 1929 with outstanding success.
Vicks Medicated Cough Drops were
first presented in 1931. Their sa’es

Vicks Voratone Antiseptice, the new
mouthwash and gargle, was intro
duced! only 18 months ago—and al

been sold.
In accordance with Vicks policy for
30 years, newspapers head the list of

Vicks would) appear to be a shining
example of business recovery through
individual effort. Its expansion of
business throughout the depression
period has been accompanied by in
creased employment, shortened work
ing hours, and maintenance of pay
scales.
“Vicks has doubled its staff of em

French Colony Founded

_ Gabon Is a French colony on the
west coast of Africa at the Equator.
Its capital is Libreville. In 1849,
states a writer in the Washington
Post, a French tuan-o’-war, cruising
in African waters overhauled % ship
loaded with negroes bound for .South
America. At that period the slave
trade was forbidden and the French
^captain qrdered the slflver ashore.
Under the protection of the French
guns, the negroes were freed and as
they were far from their own homes
they decided to settle down where
they had landed. With the help of
the French they built Libreville,
which means "freetown,” and this be

“Touch” Pieces Reminder
of “King's Evil” Cures
Two Charles II gold “touch” pieces
offered for sale in London serve as re
minders of the time when monarchs
were supposed to cure the disease
known as “the king's evil,” which was
a kind of plague. The “cure” was
effected by the sovereign laying hands
on the afflicted person, who was then
presented with “touch” pieces. Ed
ward the Confessor introduced the cer
emony into England, and the power
to heal in this manner was supposed
to become hereditary in the royal line.
Usually the “touch’’ pieces were of
gold, but during the troubled days of
the reign of Charles I, gold being
scarce, sliver coins were often be
stowed, though sometimes the Royal
physician had to discharge the pa
tients empty-handed. This strange
custom was at its height in the reign
of Charles II, who proclaimed definite
seasons when “publick healings”
should take place. Those afflicted
with “the king’s evil” had to be reepra-
mended for “touching” by the parish
minister or church wardens. During
one period of four years the king
“touched” nearly 24,000 personal On
Easter Sunday,.1686, Louis XIV attend

words: “The king touches thee; may
God cure thee.” Fifteen sous were

Educated EUphanta Fail
Persuasive powers of circus ele
phants are not rated so highly In the
suburbs of Umtali, Rhodesia, as they
were prior to the visit of a herd of
wild members of th£ trunked family.
Fierce bush fires recently drove the
nomadic herd to the outskirts of the
city, and the suburbanites became
frightened.* Police placed a cordon
around the elephant area, but wheu
the huge visitors overstayed their wel
come, .atx trained elephants were bor
rowed from a traveling circus to per
suade their wild brethren to leave
peacefully. Instead of retiring, the
-unwelcome guests charged the edu
cated eleptunts and then made a drive
against the sightseers, causing a stam
pede of suburbanites. Finally the po
lice lighted the suburb’s bush and the
’ flames drove the Invaders away. "

Mermaids _ ..
Mermaids were mythical beings, half
woman, half fish, about which were
woven fanciful stories by fertile imag-
irmtlons to entertain children of me
dieval days. It Is generally-supposed
that these stories were Inspired by the
fact that certain marine animals such
as the seal, walrus and sea cow (which

Restore Wild Life
Back in 1912 a volcano eruption on
Kodiak Island in Alaska wiped out all
wild animals with the exception of
bears, and since that time the bears
have been the lone wild Inhabitants of
the Island. To restore the wild, life
and thus provide both employment and
future game for the Inhabitants, the
government, through a civil works al
lotment, has repopulated the island, at
least prepared the groundwork for a
real population. A number of Indians,
working under unemployed guides,
captured 566 animals, principally deer,
marten and snowshoe rabbits. These
were released principally on Kodiak,
although other Islands were also given
small numbers of the animals.
