oae of printers’ ink can do more to
ward l*w enforcement then a dosen
peace officers.
Newspapers, like all human agen
cies make mistakes, but such errors
*re generally traceable to miainfor-
■nation given the newsman.
I remember one such instance which
happened to me in my early reportor-
ial days. During the absence of the
editor a communication came telling
of the mariage of a young couple in
a nearby community. The letter was
apparently in the handwriting of one
of our correspondenta, and in good
faith I published the story. A few
<lays later a sandy-haired citzen, ac
companied by his older son, his wife
and daughter, stormed into the of-,
fice.
“I’ve come here to see the rapscal
lion who pul a notice in the paper
about my daughter’s marriage,’’ he
shouted. In his hand was a long old-
fashioned “blacksnaJce” whip, held at
a dangerous angle. Before I replied
I stepped to the door leading to the
shop «nd asked the two men at work
there to come up front. Then I toW
my visitor that I had edited the item
and, summoning all my nonchlance,
casually inquired whether anything
about it was wrong.
As he cooled down a little—helped
perhaps by the sight of a stove poker
in the hands of our Irish foreman-
pUrnter—he explained that the re
port was false, and that his daughter
was not married. I had saved the
letter which told of the marriage, and
showed it to him. It then developed
that it had been written in apite by
a young lady who had been going with
the same fellow as the man's daugh-
terl
Another apparently gross error,
charged to me, happened when my
makeup man transposed two hand
fuls of type. When the paper came
out, an irate hostess called me and
wanted to know why 1 had put the
names of her bridge party guests in
the “Farm News’* column—just un
der an account of a tale of registered
bulla!
1 am con Aden t that all newspaper
editors aril] go to heaven. No matter
how eloquently the editor may boost
for the development and progreaa of
hie community no matter how dtli-
geatiy ha aaay labor to build up hta

t»KK ONE MILLION UNITS
The year 1937 takes its place as the
th rd successive year in which Chev
rolet has produced more than one mil
lion units and the sixth time in the
history of the company that more
than one million cam of any one mode!
have been built, says J. R Grubbs,
proprietor of the Grubbs Chevrolet
Co. ,of Barnwell.
The millionth 1937 model Chevrolet
wav completed at the company’s Flint,
Mirb^ assembly plant two weeks after
the production of the 13-millionth car
since the founding of the company 25
yean ago. I *
The first year in which Chevrolet
produced more than a million unit*
was 1927. In 1928 and again in 1929,
the company built more than a mil
lion cars and trucks. Production pass
ed the million mark again in 1935, re
peating the achievement in 1936.
Chevrolet led the entire automobile
industry in sales during eight of the
past ten years.

Egg Supply Runs Low.
A chock-up on the Barnwell atorea
and the Barnwell club market operat-
ew twice a week by the farm women
of this county at the court house, re
veals the fact that eggs are becoming
rather a scarce commodity. Corre
sponding, the price has gone up to
some extent in recent weeks.
Harry G. Boylston, county xgant,
says that this may be attributed to
the fact that the seasonal* rise in
price and the scarcity of eggs have
begun and the peak will be reached
in December.
This condition seems to prevail, ac
cording to the merchants, despite the
fact that probably a larger number
of chickens has been raised in Barn
well County in the last two years
than in any other period for the past
decade.
In addition to the chickens raised
in the county, W. H. Moody, Jr., of
Kline, is again raising a fine flock of
turkeys for the Thanksgiving and
Christmas seasons, while other farm
ers in the county are also turning to
this field for added revenue.
College Uses Recordings
for Speech Instruction
Crawfordsville, Ind.—Wabash col
lege, pioneer in the field of college
speakers’ bureaus, uses a new in
strument in speech instruction—a
portable recording machine.
The equipment was designed prin
cipally for use in courses on diction,
interpretative reading and begin
ning speech, where recordings of
students’ class speeches are made
periodically, filed away and then
played back at a later date so that
the student may hear his progress
or lack of it.
In courses on articulation and
pronunciation, where it once was
necessary to give verbal instruc
tions and then correct the student's
errors, of which he himself was
unaware. It now is possible to re
cord his speech and permit him to
hear himself as others do.
Instructors in the speech depart
ment also plan to use the device to
record addresses of men who repre
sent Wabash college in oratorical
contests.
The college long has been noted
for its speakers and since 1919 has
maintained a college speakers' bu
reau from which it supplies careful
ly trained students for addro—as be
fore luncheon etube and other or
ganizations During the eightjreers

Experts Find Geological Fault
in California Aroa.
Berkeley, Calif.—California seis
mologists hsve discovered s new
geological fault on the Pacific coast
which holds sAhreat of mors earth
quakes in the future than in the
past.
The discovery of the fault was
made as the result of three sharp
quakes which occurred on July 6,
1934; January 2, 1935, and June 3,
1936.
The succession of quakes and oth
er similarity of symptoms led seis
mologists to believe that the seat
of the trouble must be in the region
of Humboldt county and it was
there that they eventually located
the geological fault. An official re
port of the finding has just been
made to the Seismographical Socie
ty of America.
“Accurate location of the epi
centers of these shocks,” Dr. By-
erly, seismologist at the University
of California, stated, “showed that
their centers do not lie along the
prolongation of the famous San
Andreas fault from Point Arena,
but rather line up in a more or
less north and south direction along
a line between seventy-five and 100
miles out from the, coast and ex- J
tending from the northern to the '
southern border of Humboldt coun
ty.”
That shocks have an erratic tend
ency just like the symptoms of a
disease, Dean C. Carder of the geo
detic survey, declared and for rea
sons which cannot be explained the
San Francisco bay region is having
fewer seismic vibrations at present
than during the period when the
San Francisco-Oakland bay bridge
was being constructed, while since
the Golden Gate bridge has been
virtually completed, still fewer vi
brations are being recorded than
during the construction of the San
Francisco-Oakland bridge.
Italian Amateur Shows
Own 3-Dimension Films
Rome.—Three-dimensional results
In film work, which cameramen
have been seeking for more than
90 years, at last have been ob
tained, an Italian scientist de
clared.
Although loath to disclose how he
had obtained these results, the In
ventor. a thirty-one year old ama
teur. Ubaldo Magnaghi. declared
that the apectroacopa effects had
been obtained solely by the use of
filters.
At a private projection of his
Alma, the audience saw that ha had
succeeded In getting threw-dimen-
•tonal effects, not only of still Ufa,
but of moving objects aa wall, giv
ing a realistic quality to th# sub
jects not hitherto seen on the
The results were aD tho more
striking because Louie Lumiere. the
Frenchman who lays claim to hav
ing invented motion pictures, has
been working on this idea for a
•core of years and has failed. Lu
miere has succeeded In showing pic
tures with depth, but the specta
tor is obliged to wear a pair of
colored spectacles, each lens of a
different color. Magnaghi's spectro
scope pictures appeared mors ef
fect nrs. however, and did not re
quire any spectacles.
Magnaghi has been taking still
and motion pictures for more than
thirteen years, although ha has nev
er worked on ordinary sue films.
Magnaghi said that ha had pro
duced his first spectroscopic films
about three years ago, but only
after years of experimentation.
Water of the Zuider Zee
No Longer Contains Salt
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.—
The fishermen of Marken island and
Volendam learned from an official
report that analysis of the water
which for centuries used to provide
herrings and other fish shows that
it no longer contains salt. This, of
course, is a natural consequence of
the construction of the dike closing
the Zuider Zee.
The altcfation in the biological
balance has caused the almost to
tal disappearance of fish, bringing
a plague of gnats.
The Zuyder Zee reclamation
scheme is by far the biggest thing
of its kind that has ever been at
tempted. By 1960, it is expected,
it will have recovered 867 square
miles from the waters, enough new
land to support a population of
3,000.000.
England Finds It Has
Increase in Population
London.—The popular belief that
the marriage and birth rates of
Great Britain are falling off and
that the population is declining is
disproved by the latest statistics is
sued by the registrar-general. In
1935, the last period of calculation,
there were more marriages, more
babies and fewer divorces.
The marriage rate was 17.2 per
sons per 1,000 population, compared
with 16.9 in 1934 and 15.3 in 1932.
There were 598,756 births, an in
crease oAhe 1933 total. The popu
lation of England and Wales is now
estimated at 40,645,000.

YOUR
COTTON
Before Ginning
We have installed the latest type, government approved
/
construction, Cotton Drying Equipment; which abso
lutely dries your GREEN and DAMP cotton scientifically
before it is passed through the gins.
Especially advantageous in the processing of STAPLE
COTTON. Staple cotton, due to its length, of course
stays damp and green longer than ordinary short staple; and
its delicate fibre is greatly protected by being thoroughly
DRY before being allowed to pass through the gins.
Experts advise us that there is No Loss in Weight
due to the use of the Cotton Drier, for the cotton ab
sorbs from the atmosphere all the natural weight canied,
after it has been ginned.
