Tuberculosis Testing
Starts Next Week
For Dairy Cattle
A number of inquiries have come
to the county agent’s office regard
ing the tuberculosis testing work
that is to start next week in McCor
mick County for dairy cattle. This
work will start early next week and
will continue until every cow is test
ed in the comty. Each farm in the
county will be visited by the veter
inarian .from the State Veterinary
Department at Columbia, and every
cow on each farm will be tested.
Thio work is being done in the cam
paign for ridding South Carolina
farms of tubercular cattle. The
ccunt es of Oconee, Pickens, Spar
tanburg, Greenville, Cherokee, And
erson, and Abbeville have already
been tested, and McCormick County
comes as the next county for the at
tention of the department.
Heretofore, in McCormick County,
the county agent has had this work
doie for farmers who requested it,
but, this campaign is being carried
on by the State Veterinary Depart
ment at Columbia, and the county
agent will not be actively engaged
,n the work.

'ligPRhe of. crime depends
not so much upon prosecuting offi
cials and courts as it does upon the
atftude of the people,” said Silas H.
Strawn, President cf the Avne: ican
Bar Association, recently. “When
prosecutors and courts and juries
know that the people are watching
them, they realize that the public
conscience has been awakened to act
ion, and they are more apt to do
c heir duty Thus, in the f'nal anal
ysis the responsibility fer the re
duction of ciime rests with the peo
ple.”
Bccore any great change or re
form can be instituted it must have a
background of pubi c interest and
activity. A lax public consciousness
must inevitably result in inaction or
retrogression.
It is apparent that today the ma
jority of the pubi c looks upon crime
as something apart from its own
concern. The interest taken in im
portant cases is mainly either mor
bid, or that cf a sentimer.tal nrnority
of professional Salvationists and sob-
sisters who make martyrs of the
most hardened criminals.
There is very little leal, intell’gent
public concern over our “crime
waves.” There is practically no con
certed public action to stop them.
The result is, naturally, more crime
and less regard for lav/.
Our ent're legal system suffers
from a superabundance of red tape.
Complicated; unnecessary laws often
allow crimlinal cases to be drawn out,
through the medium of delays and
“appeals,” over a long perioJi. and
eventually, in many instances, justice
is circumvented altogether..
And if conv'ctsd, the criminal has
ready resource to parole boa.ds,
pardon laws, good conduct reductions
of sentence, repeals and other means
to effect his liberty, with the aid Of
well meaning but often misguided
reformers. In one state it has been
said that a sentence of “1'fe impris
onment” means, on the average,
about five years. Mr. Strawn’s re
marks, coming from a high authority,
are worth regarding. They indicate
.hat the fault and the cure lie with
ho public.

painful. She averted her head as it
went by, but the operator of that
other car stared in hurt bewilderment,
looking up and watching until Mary
was entirely out of sight.
Straight from the country, untrained
and uneducated, she had come to the
city in search of high adventure, and
she had found it in the elevator next
hers, in the person of one Jim Thomas
who concealed his agonizing timidity
beneath the bravado of an abrupt, mi-
approachable manner. But to Mary,
whose beaus heretofore had always
been cravatless and often overalled.
Jim was a sheik, a fashion plate and
an Adonis all in one. Mary had given
him cheap little handkerchiefs, a neck
tie that loudly screamed its ignorance
of color harmony, and yesterday, c.n
his birthday, a box of hopeless choco
lates with a note inside: “To my dear
man who I love.” And that last v was
the straw that broke the camel's back,
for that morning Jim had slipped
her no answering note protesting Ins
affection as she had visualized his do
ing. She had waited until after ten
o’clock before going to bed, certain
that he would drop in and thank her
at least. But not a sign of Jim, and
at last she had tumbled into bed and
had wept until she fell asleep.
Her first feeling the next morning
was one <>f bitter disappointment. But
this soon turned to resentment, and
when she went to work she jerked her
elevator up and down, paying no at
tention to Jim’s signal that they stop
en route.
All the morning Mary seethed with
resentment and during tier lunch hour
went up to Doctor Denver’s office and
blurted out her intentions.
“I’m goin’ to quit,” she said in a
shaky voice.
“Now, Mary” said the surgeon.
“You’re the first elevator girl we ever
had here and I took you on because
you were in trouble and needed work.
I’ve taken a fatherly interest in you
and it seems to me you might tell me
what’s the matter.”
In reply Mary dropped her head on
her arms and hurst into tears.
“Is it as bad*as all that?'* lie asked
gently after awhile. “Have you two
young idiots quarreled?”
“He—he—don’t 1-1-love me,”' Mary j
sobbed.
“Arc yen sure? I thought he did.
Mary, 1 can prove whether you are
right or wrong by making a fluoro
scopic examination of Ids heart.”
He led her into the X-ray room,
turned on the current and looked at
her heart through the fluoroscope.
“You do love Jim Thomas,” said the
doctor, and Mary’s heart gave a little
leap at the mere mention of his name.
“Yes, you really do. Now you run
along and come back here as soon as
you get off at six o’clock. I’ll see Jim
right away.”
■When the doctor finally got hold of
Jim it was easy to convince him that
lie was’not' looking well and needed
a little attention.
“By'beorge,” said Doctor Deaver as
lie looked at the pa’ient’s heart
through the fluoroscope, “you’re in
love. That’s what’s the matter yith
you. Why don’t you get married and
put yourself out of your misery?”
“She—she wouldn’t have me,” Jim
blurted out desperately. “Her pa own®

NEW Y’ORK, Nov. 12—The Brit
ish steamer Vestris, with 109 pas
sengers and a crew of 210 aboard,
was sinking 250 miles off Hampton
Roads today and the passergers were
taking to the lifeboats. The Jap
anese steamer Ohio Maru was stand
mg by. The sea was reported mod-
e ‘ately rough.
The nature of tilr Vestries’ disabil
ity was not disclosed in tho series of
SOS messages wh'ch she dispatched
during the morning. Her captain
William J. Carey, reported that he:
starboard decks were awash, that she
had a 32 degree list, and that im
mediate aid was needed.
In the message picked up by the
radio corporate.*r of America an
nouncing abandonment of the ship it
was said that no steamer had yet
reached the Vestris. There had been
previous deports that the Japanese
vessel Ohio Maru was standing by.
The weather was reported moderately
rough as the 129 passengers and the
crew of 210 went over the side and
too; to the lifeboats. The message
'ncluded the information that the
radio operator was also leaving the
ship as he did not believe he could
get any further messages through.
The second night since the steamer
Vestris was abandoned off the Vir
ginia Capes found more than 200 of
the passengers and crew rescued but
more than 100 still unaccounted for
and hopes for their survival lessening
with every hour.
The Ameuican Shipper, first to ar
rive at the scene, reported rescue of
128 persons. 36 of them passengers.
The liner Berlin rescued 23 persons
and started for New'York where it
was expected to arrive about 8
o’clock Wednesday morning.
The tanker Myiam saved 63 per
sons and the battleship Wyoming
picked up eight persons. There was
one report that a dead man had been
found by the Wyoming, but direct
messages from the battleship made
no mention of this.
This would give a total cf 222 res
cued and 117 unaccounted for up to
early Wednesday morning.

In the Highland Park plant of the’
Ford Motor Company at Detroit
there i s a machine wh'ch tries with
all the efficient fiendishness of arr
engine of destruction, to shake the
life out of a For<J Automobile radia-
t 0> _i n the shortest possible time.
Ten hours is the t : me allotted tc*
this^ machine, known as an "agita
tor,” to do all within its power to
ruin a water-filled Ford radiator. At
the end of that period the much
'’ffepsed radiator is taken off the nia-
cb,‘ne and examined by experts for
any signs of damage and a biand new
Ford radiator, also filled with water,
is put on for another ten hours of
torment.
This agitator device is part of the
testing equipment for radiators that
are being built .for the new Model
‘A ’ Fc-rd car. When you watch it
joggling and jolting and shaking the
gurgling radiator, you have a feeling
that no automobile driver could drive
a car over roads and at a speed which
would give it such a severe shaking
up and still hold on to his wheel and
his seat. Then the factory foreman
tells you that within the per'c-J of
ten hours this agitator gives the
new radiator more and severer jars
and jolts than the average Ford car
will get in its whole lifetime of serv
ice.
And he tells you also that the
great majority of radiators tested on
this agitator cc*ne through the or
deal without a sign of injury. Those
that spring even the smallest leaks
are rare indeed.
Then the foreman takes you
through the radiator factory and
shows you why this is so. He shows
you that every part of the radiator
which is tcoiched by water is made of
either copper or brass, which w : ll
not rust and which will resist cor
rosion to a high degree. He shows
you also that the construction of the
entire radiator is rugged and strong
—parts welded and soldered together
in such a manner that eng’ne vibra
tion and road jars cannot shake them
apart.
To make sure that the finished
radiator is free from l^aks or pot
ential leaks, as soon as it comes off
the assembly line it is given a severe
ccmpressed air test. Filled with a‘r
under high pressure and sealed, the
radiate-:* is submersed in a tank of
water. If there is the slightest sign
of bubbles, due to escaping air, the
radiator is thrown out as faulty.
The foreman points out to you also
the features of this new Ford radia
tor which make it an unusually ef
ficient unit cf the coo’ing system.
The upper and lower tanks are large.
The openings through which the wa
ter flows from the tanks into the
radiator tubes are bell-shaped, thus
providing faster flow and faster-
circulation of'the water. The tubes
of copper and the fins of brass per-
m't very* rtfpid ladiatic-n of the heat
and therefere quicker cooling.
Throughout the radiator of the new
Ford car has been built in keeping
with the greater power, speed and
durability of the Model “A” Ford.
The speedometers of the new
Model “A” Ford cars have shc-vn
remarkable accuracy in the measure
ment; of speeds.
Designed and built to maintain an
accuracy of within three miles fast
at seventy miles per hour, tfecse
speeddmeters of the new Fords thus
far have shown, in tests, an average
accuracy of not more than one and a
half miles fast at seventy miles per
hour, or just one-half of the toler
ance allowed.
The allowed tolerance of three
miles fast at a speed of seventy
miles per hour mean§. translated in
to terms of average driving speeds,
that if the speedometer on the car
indicates a speed of twenty-four
miles per hour the actual rate of
travel o? the car at that time is not
le?s than twenty-three miles per
hour, or that if the speedometer
oh-ws a spoed of ilorty-seven miles
per hour, the car actually is traveling
'It a s'pecd of net less than forty-five
miles per hour.
Whatever the speed limit allowed
by law, tho drive: of one of the new
Fords may be cci*tain that he is with
in that 1'mit if his speedometer in
dicates exactly that figure which is
the legal limit.
The speedometer which is standard
equipment on the new Fords is on 1
of the best known and finest o'
miakes. It is driven from a gear cn
the drive shaft and measures speed
from the revolut'ons per minute of
the shaft. The tests of these instru
ments that are being made regularly
in the Ford Engineering Laboratory
at Dearborn are interesting. The
speedometers are tested against an
electric tachometer, which in turn is
checked with an integiating revolu-
t'on counter, the most precise device
made foi determining speeds in rev
olutions per minute.
