THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1939 tlncle Phli £ay3: And Criticism, Too When you don’t know much about music, let someone else ! start the applause. Skepticism sometimes saves a man from being everybody’s fool. It takes a good deal of wit to perpetrate effective ridicule. Beyond Estimation About the weakest of statistics are those that purport to state what crime costs the country per capita. n Occasionally we meet a man r" who asks for only half a chance, ' 1 but the majority prefer the chances whole. One born lazy is generally hap pily born without cupidity. Play the Game Don’t ask, “Is life worth liv ing?” You have been dealt the cards. The man who wants to be good has less opportunity than 1 the man who wants to be great. > • A worm may turn, but a sheep never will. Perhaps the Darky's Ducks Were Storks A salesman was rattling along a country road in Tennessee, when he came to a ford. A Negro was standing by the little stream where some ducks were swim ming. The salesman said: “Can I get through the creek with this car all right?” “Yes, suh, drive right through.” The salesman, thus encouraged, drove into the stream, only to find that the water was so deep that it flooded his engine. The salesman turned and said: “What do you mean by telling me that I could drive through?” “Well, boss, I never knew dat water was so deep. It only comes half-way up on my ducks!” — «— Have you noticed that in hot Weather your digestion and elimina tion seem to become torpid or lazy? Your food sours, forms gas, causes belching, heartburn, and a feeling of restlessness and irritability. Your tongue may be coated, your com- bifio plexion . action sluggish or ous, and your bowel insufficient. These are some of the symptoms of biliousness or so-called “Toi >id Liver,” so prevalent in hot They call for calomel, or better still, Calotabs, the nausealess calomel compound tablets that make calo mel-taking a pleasure. Calotabs give you the effects of calomel and salts combined, helping Nature to expel the sour, stagnant bile and washing it out of the system. One or two Calotabs at bed time with a glass of water,—that’s all. Next morning your system feels ' clean and refreshed, your head is clear, your spirit bright, and you are feeling fine with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you wish and go about your work or pleasure. Genuine Calotabs are sold only in checker-board (black and white) pack ages bearing the trade mark “Calotabs.” Befuse imitations.

It Won’t Bother Ark Owner One of the famous landmarks at Olympia, Washington’s state capital, is the craft known as “Noah’s Ark No. 2,” which serves as the home of William Greenwood, who built it. Greenwood is convinced that the end of the world is coming, and is prepared for a second deluge. At the left. Greenwood in one of his many “suits,” looking like a combination of Buffalo Bill and Bojangles of Harlem. Right: The ark owner dreamt up a few hot licks on a rather dilapidated organ in his homemade boat. It is only one of the ”19 musics,” as he calls them, that he can play. British Army Shows Strength in Mimic Warfare An anti-tank gun crew in action during recent exercises of the tank division at Aldershot, England, which were witnessed, by mapy high-ranking army commanders.

Mailman May Ask Bird-Housing Project Tony Plummer, Newport-Balboa, Calif., mailman, peruses his postal guide for the answer to a very baffling question. In a mailbox on his route a mother linnet is rearing four babies. Postal regulations specify that rural carriers must, during the winter, carry ample provisions to feed birds on their routes. But the rules say nothing about housing. Tony has been forced to ring the doorbell and deliver the mail in person, but is thinking of applying for a federal housing project for the youngsters. ■ — 1 1 T Darkhorse Captures First Duck Derby These Arcadia, Calif., ducks, under the supervision of their attractive trainers, were part of a large field of entries at the first annual dnck race at Santa Anita racetrack recently.
