Beware Of Black
. Widow Spicier
POISONOUS HOURGLASS SPIDER
NOT NEW IN SOUTHEAST
CLEMSGN, July 6.—During the
many specimens of the
•• ’ -
widow, slider have been re
ceived by Clemson entomologists,
says W. C. Nettles, extension en
tomologist, who points out that this
poasonons spider is not new to this
section. It has been present in the
southeastern states for many years,
Professor Franklin Sherman,
i entomologist, says that he has
its presence for more than
• pears.
In one instance the spider was
sent for identification with the fol
lowing statement: “I am sending
by express a spider that bit me. It
came very near killing me. I stay
ed in bed under a doctor for 10 days
and after two weeks still feel the
effects of the bite in my stomach,
kidneys, and muscles.”
The black widow is a small black
spider having a dark red area on
the lower part of the abdomen. The
red spot is frequently shaped like
an hourglass and for this reason the
spider is also known as an hour
glass spider. The female is only
about one-half inch in length, not
including its legs and the male is
only about half the size of the fe
male.
“While spiders arc generally the
best friends of man, their diet be-
1 ing composed largely of insects, the
black widow is an exception only m
that on rare occasions it bites man
or domestic animals,” says Mr. Net
tles, advising that persons bitten
seek medical attention.
“Contrary to the popular opinion
the black widow is very shy and
very rarely attacks humans. In
vestigators in southern institutions
have had difficulty in provoking
the spider to bite. Only the female
is known to be poisonous. Pain in
legs and abdomen, extreme abdom
inal rigidity, high blood pressure,
and high temperature accompany
its bite. During dry seasons these
spiders seek shelter in moist cool
places. They are more likely to at
tack men in stables, privies, and
other outbuildings than elsewhere.”

faced the sting of adversity. Al
though her dearest were snatched
from her, she still had Ruth, whom
she loved tenderly, and about whom
she built fond hopes. “Her heart,”
says Dr. Stalker, “was still capable
of sending out new blossoms.”
That she was a woman of un
usual attractiveness is proven by
the affection she inspired in her
two daughters-in-law. They were
aliens, and it must have been diffi
cult for Naomi to adjust herself to
their habit of mind and mode of
life. She won their devotion.
And how tactful it was of her to
suggest to Ruth and Orpah that
they return to their own homes
rather than continue their journey
toward Judah. Of course she
wanted them to' remain with her,
but she realized full well how hard
it would be for them to begin life
anew in a strange land.
Best of all, Naomi was thorough
ly religious. All through the sad
years of her exile in Moab she re
mained true to her God, and ac
cepted the first opportunity of re
turning to the sacred land of her
fathers.

McCormick, S. C.
DETROIT, July 1.—Chevrolet
turned out more than 115,000 units
in June, a month which ordinarily
marks a slowing down of the in
dustry as a whole. Because the
demand for new Chevrolets con
tinues to exceed the supply, the
company announces, a heavy pro
duction schedule has been set up
for July, and likely will run into
August.
M. E. Coyle, president and general
manager, declared that July pro
duction will be at least as high as
June, and may exceed it.
“We are going into July under
obligation to keep up production at
the maximum,” Mr. Coyle said.
“The orders we already have, plus
those coming in during the month,
are enough to assure continued
peak activity. In other years we
would be expecting a seasonal let
down, but the way I visualize the
immediate future, I would say that
our demand will continue well into
August.
“Talk of a Chevrolet ‘shortage’ is
to be expected, when the dealers
can’t get the cars in the quantities
they want and need. It’s a pleas
ant kind of shortage to face, how
ever. It is a great tribute to our
product, that buyers who want new
cars are willing to await their ar
rival from the Chevrolet factories
—at a season when motorists most
need and enjoy their cars. That
means that they didn’t merely
order a car, but were actually sold,
in the full sense of the word, on the
merits and value of our product.
“Our present situation is one that
spells volume for factory and deal
ers, and indicates a great return of
buying power and an improvement
in morale among the people. Fur
ther, it promises steady employ
ment for thousands throughout a
period when, in normal ‘no short
age’ years, they would be idle.
“Dealers in various sections of
the country report splendid busi
ness prospects at a season which
usually brings a gradual tapering-
off of sales. The sustained buying
that is evidenced this summer is
traceable, I believe, to the vastly
improved conditions of the farmer
ever the country as a whole.
“Optimism is greater in the Mid
dle Western states, predominantly
agricultural areas. Iowa, Kansas,
and the Dakotas have had abun
dant rains, eliminating droughts as
a factor to be feared, since crops
are now .so far advanced that a
bumper yield is assured.
“Throughout the fertile areas
around the Great Lakes—in fact
everything East of the Rocky
Mountains—much the same con
ditions are to be found. Farmer
and city dweller alike are buying
cars and trucks—and trucks make
up a substantial part of the total.
We are especially gratified over
conditions in the commercial car
field, because the improvement is
so evident that they may be taken
as an added indication that busi
ness will maintain its ' upward
trend.
“No matter from what angle it is
viewed, the outlook for the re
mainder of the season is bright. It
will take our best efforts to keep
pace with the demand.”
Tips To Tourists-V,
(On Selecting a Route)
(By C. W. Wood, National Service
Director, Chevrolet Motor Co.)
Motor touring in the vacation
period should be a pleasure trip
from beginning to end. It is all
the more remarkable, therefore,
that the average motorist gives lit
tle consideration to obtaining the
maximum pleasure by selecting the
most interesting route for each
day’s run.
“What’s the shortest route to
?” is the average tour
ist’s query as he starts from his
hotel each morning.
Naturally, the shortest route be
tween two cities is also the most
congested with traffic, especially
with commercial vehicles and bus
es; also, it is the most built-up, and
therefore traverses more low-speed
zones and has more enforced halts.
The she. test route, in fact, is not
necessarily the quickest way be
tween two points.
The alternative routes may be
longer in distance, but often are
shorter in time; however, even if
they require more time, they repay
the motorist by their pleasanter
motoring. Not only do they avoid
the dense traffic and the enforced
halts of the main routes, but in
many cases they make the extra
time well worth while because they
are more interesting in scenery, and
less trying to drive.
Unfortunately, the kind of road
map supplied for use in the Unit
ed States falls short of helping the
tourist in his search for the scenic
and picturesque routes. European
road maps make a special point of
showing the tourist how to avoid
the ordinary main road in favor of
ether routes that will reward him
with superior scenery and inter
esting historic landmarks or natural
wonders. Picturesque stretches of
road are edged with green ink;
special symbols mark points where
there are particularly interesting
views over the country, or indicate
the exact location of ancient ruins,
battlefields, caverns, and other at
tractions to tourists.
With no such maps as these to
guide them, American tourists must
rely on advice collected en route.
The information bureaus of auto
mobile clubs can be relied on to give
the tourist tips on routes from
point to point. The motorist, at
each over-night stop, will do well
to call on the club bureau for ad
vice on alternative routes to his
next objective; oftentimes, by ask
ing for the most interesting route,
instead of for the shortest, he will
be directed over highways that will
add immeasurably to his pleasure.
Planning the tour so that each
day’s run will bring the motorists
to a pleasant or interesting over
night stopping place is another
point frequently negelected by va
cationists. Because many a large
city can be by-passed en route, at a
great saving of time, over-night
halts in smaller cities are advanta
geous. Many small cities now have
hotels that are quite as comfortable
for a short halt as the larger hotels
in the big cities. Those who make
a practice of staying in the small
er towns urge as advantages the ab
sence of parking difficulties, ths
ease of finding a garage, the lower
cost, and the great saving in time
in getting away from the hotel in
the morning, and in finding the
route out of town.
