The worst BODY ODOR It has been estimated that the used car business in the country has an annual dollar turnover of approximately two billion dollars for a normal year. Statistics ;:ay that there are more than 11,000,- 000 motorists who buy regularly in the used car market. “An interesting picture of this market is obtained by examining the figures of sales that Chevrolet dealers send to the central office,” commented Holler as he discussed the phases of the gigantic used car business. “Nearly 700 used cars per aver age hour were sold by company dealers since March, 1935, • when the present record, was started. That means about 13 per minute and 5512 per day, more than 33,- 000 per week and an average per month of 143,320. ‘‘There are 9,400 Chevrolet deal ers In the United States and they employ an average of 30,000 sales men. Since last year, when the used car organization was started in the sales department, used car salesmen have been especially trained—before that new car sell ers also sold used cars. The record the Chevrolet dealers and sales men have made in selling so many used cars is a tribute to their ability in merchandising and one of the great assets of the factories for if used cars are not sold then new cars cannot be handled by dealers and factories close.” A statistical expert figured that the 5,732,819 used cars sold by the Chevrolet dealers during the last forty months would reach 12,000 miles, bumper to bumper, or half way around the world at the equator. At $250 average per car, the total dollar value would be $1,250,000,000. xxx May File Claims In All Counties street; Newberry, 1015 Caldwell street; Orangeburg. 33 East Rus sell street; Rock Hill, 214 Hamp ton street; Spartanburg, Mont gomery building; Sumter, .Court House; Walterbcro, Walter street. The South Carolina unemploy ment compensation commission began receiving claims at these oliices July 1. Not all unemploy ed persons will be able to qualify for out-of-work benefits but the offices assist all persons in finding work. Out-of-woik benefits may be paid each jobless wage-earner willing and able to work who has had at least 13 weeks in covered employment during the 52 week; immediately preceding his most recent week of work. To qualify for total unemployment benefits, however, the worker must serve a two weeks waiting period and at least one week of his work in cov ered employment must come after June 30, 1938. The two weeks waiting period may be accumu lated over a period of 13 consecu tive weeks. To claim these weekly benefits the worker should take the wage and separation notice given him by his most recent employer to the nearest state employment of fice and apply for work and file a claim. He must report back weekly, or as often as instructed to do so. Covered employment is work for an employer who contributes to the unemployment insurance fund in behalf of his employes. The workers themselves do not con tribute. Tb« worst bod? odor comoo from P. O — perspiration odor un der tbs arms.

That is the list of 39,- 000,000 workers to whom Social Security numbers have been as signed. More than 470,000 of them are named Smith. The Johnsons come next, with 350,000 names. Next in frequency are Brown, Williams, Miller and Jones. A man’s name is no sure indi cation of his ancestry, since in America one’s name is whatever one chooses to call himself. Most people, however, keep the names of their fathers and grandfathers. The preponderance of the names I have listed indicates that the dominant racial strains in Amer ica are still British, German and Scandinavian. Smith is a name almost as com mon in Scotland as in England, though many Smiths are of Ger man stock, their names having once been Schmidt. The names of Williams and Jones are distinctly Welsh. Johnson may be either Scandinavian, English or Scottish, Miller is English or German, and so is Brown. * * * JOBS ability Speaking of unemployment, a friend said to me the other day: ‘‘The greatest area of unemploy ment is above the ears.” He was trying to emphasize the trutn that most people do not use their heads when looking for jobs. A day or two later 1 saw a newspaper paragraph about a young college graduate wno used his head so well that he got four jobs when he only wanted one. He took competitive examinatitm for engineering posts in the Arm> and Marine Corps and applied foi Anny service on the strength o. his college record in tne Ivtse^v*. Officers Training Corps. Then ht went out and hustled for a job in private employment, and got ont After he had gone to work he re ceived notice that he had bee*., appointed to the Army post anu that he had pa&sed both cf In. engineering examinations. lhat boy, of course, had special qualifications. But the point is that he didn’t sit down and wait for a job to come his way. He used his head and got four jobs! Almost everybody has some special ability. Too few use their heads to find where those abilities are needed. was willing to work hard. He told me the other day that he had jobs for a dozen good workmen if he could find them. The trouble with most workers, he said, was they tried to get by with poor work and take things easy. A building contractor I know will not hire young workmen be cause, he says, they don’t use their heads and don’t take their work seriously enough to master their trades. I don’t know how far that is true generally, but I have an. idea that it is pretty general. I think that the idea that boys, should be kept in school until they are 16 or 18 has made white-collar loafers out of a great many young, Americans who could have become, first-class artisans if they had. been allo^ved to work when they were young enough to learn, a trade. * * * EDUCATION learning There is a homely old proverb which says: “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” AIL i he schooling in the world will, not make a scholar out of a person who is not capable of learning* Those who are capable will ac quire learning and often wisdom in spite of lack of educational, “advantages.” I was re-reading the other night Rudyard Kipling’s autobiography. What struck me most forcibly was his efforts at self-education. He was under 16 when he quit school to go to work on a small daily paper in India. Inside of ten years his name was known all over the world.
