FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1939 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE Important to every motor car buyer Is the fact that Chevrolet, first in passenger car sales, is also first in motor truck sales, because truck buyers select the trucks that pay the greatest returns. The same qualities that distinguish Chevrolet trucks exist in equal degree in Chevrolet pa»- senger cars. You may choose your Chevrolet solely for its beauty, comfort, or performance but you will get in addition that all-important extra value. Davis Motor Company 1515 - 1517 MAIN STREET NEWBERRY, S. C. lIUMOHHOlYi -tf. - . FRftHK PARKER [•TOC KB B SULFANILAMIDE panacea That’s a new word of which every body will hear more and more. It is the new drug which comes nearer than any other yet discovered to being the panacea for arhich medical science has sought for centuries. “Panacea” means, literally, some thing which cures all diseases. Sul fanilamide doesn’t do that, but it has cured more different kinds of dis eases than any medicine previously known. It literally kills disease germs by smothering them to death. Certain types of perms, when they invade the human body, produce a chemical known as hydrogen peroxide. With out that chemical the germs die, in stead of multiplying and causing disease. Sulfanilamide acts upon substances in the blood-stream in such a way as to prevent the germs from ex tracting the oxygen necessary for them to produce the peroxide. Re sult, the germs die and the patient So many reports by physicians all over the world of almost miraculous cures of diseases formerly practically incurable or nearly always fatal, have been made about this new drug, that doctors everywhere are begin ning to use it with confidence that it will save lives that otherwise would have been lost. POLIOMYELITIS . paralysis That is the name of one disease for which no certain cure has been found yet. Its common name is in fantile paralysis. Most of its vic tims catch it when they are children, but President Roosevelt was at tacked by it when he was 41 years old, after he had been a candidate for Vice-President in 1920. Now another famous man has been found to be a victim of this same dreadful disease. I )u Gehrig, the “Iron Man” of baseball, whose record of 2,130 consecutive games, in which he batted in more than 2,000 runs, 500 of them homers, has never been equalled, found himself unable to play his old game at the beginning of this season. For two years Gehrig had been complaining of pain and weakness in hig arms. A week or two ago the doctors told him he had chronic poliomyelitis and could never play again. The research work into the causes and treatment of infantile paralysis, stimulated by the President, may yet, and probably will, discover why so many people are made cripples and how they can be cured. Nobody knows the answer yet. AUTOGIRO safety When Juan de Cierva, the Span ish inventor, brought out his “auto- ^iro” ten yean ago, it looked to it is practically foolproof in opera tion and if the engine stops it doesn’t crash. The main reason the autogiro hasn’t come into wider use is that it doesn’t fly fast enough for most people"! Ninety miles an hour is about its limit, and people want to travel 150 or faster when they go up in the air. Besides its “pay load” isn’t big enough. Now the autogiro is getting its first -real ocmmercial test. On July 6 the Post Office Department began flying mail across the Delaware River between the roof of the Cam den, N. J., Post Office and the Phila delphia Post Office roof. If this plan works successfully, Uncle Sam plans to use autogiros between many other mail points. Maybe the Post Offices of the World of Tomorrow will all be built with flat roofs for the flying postmen to land on. UNCERTAINTY . . predictions . What’-s going to happen in the stock market or the next election? Plenty of prophets will tell you, but will they tell you correctly? A couple of Harvard University in vestigators have been looking into this matter of predicting the future, by getting a large number of people to predict their own future actions and then checking up to see if they were right. If you can’t tell for sure what you are goiig to do tomorrow or next Sunday or a week from Tuesday, ho*v can you tell what anybody is going to do some time in the future? The people whose predictions were checked with the occurrences were practically all wrong. Women were further wrong in their predictions of their own behavior than men were. SOBRIETY drinking The problem of how to drink liquor and rtill stay sober is one which has perplexed many a man who finds himself in a drinking crowd, and wants to be a “good fellow,” but at the same time has no desire to get drunk. British colonials on outpost duty where there isn’t much to do but drink have sometimes solved the problem by drinking half a pint of olive oil before going to a drinking party. The Result is said to be rea sonable sobriety and a stomach-ache. Now a famous Vienna scientist has inented a method of making whiskey and other alcoholic bever ages absolutely non-intoxicating, or so he claims in his patent application recently granted. A compound de rived from starch or cellulose, by treating it with a derivative of acetic acid, which is vinegar, is added to the contents of the bottle. From ten to 25 per cent is enough, it is claimed, to make it impossible for the drinker to get drunk, yet the taste and aroma 0 the beverage are unchanged. But since most drinkers drink to get the “kick” of partial or complete intoxication, the general adoption of this idea seems doubtful to me. Job TRY Atheys R. M.

The idea is to try for a Class D league here next season and with Mazda baseball, it may pay. For Class D baseball Newberry would have to average around 500 three nights a week, but with some thing to shoot at in a first division team, Newberry fans could top that But getting a team may be the big thing as a whole team with pos sibly one or two exceptions would have to be had if they went very far organized ball. Stick to the Lavaliers throughout this summer and assure a team here next year. But if Bill Laval does nothing else he has been the cause of Newberry college’s having one of the neatest athletic set-ups of any school its size around these parts. Just Jots And Boston took the Yanks five straight. Gosh, if I had borrowed ten and let it ride, I could buy a ball club now. Diz Dean is getting knocked out faster than they can start him. May be we were too fast in saying he would come back. Bob Feller has won 14, lost 3, and Cleveland is fighting to stay in first division; if only Allen and Harder got going they could make a race yet. Donald has won 10 straight for the Yanks in his first season. Funny the Yanks hit 13 homers one day and for a week afterward they couldn’t hit the Empire State building with men on. Ted Lyons, for seventeen seasons with the Chicago White Sox, has won 9, lost 2 so far; Red Ruffing, up many years, won 12, lost 3; Lefty Grove, over 10 years, 10 wins, 2 losses, and they say it’s a game for youngsters. Oh, Yeah ? Mickey Livingstone, Newberry boy with .Springfield, Mass., in the East ern League, is hitting a cool .369 and Derrill Bouknight, another Newberry product, is smacking a neat .341 for Johnson City team.

Estill, July 9.—Church attendance in this tiny town has taken a sudden jump today as the result of a suc cessful move by local pastors to hold church services in the new air-con ditioned theater on Main street. Churchmen in this vicinity were quick to take advantage of the op portunity offered by the installation n air-conditioning system in the 304-seat theater, particularly since Estill is reputedly the smallest town in the United States that boasts an air-conditioned movie house. Charles Harper, manager of the theater, immediately agreed to offer the cool auditorium to help the pas- ine resuu was pleasing noi only to the churchgoers, but also to the theater manager. His gesture brought people into the theater, familiarized them with the comfortable surround ings and sent attendance soaring for his week-end shows. Summer Memorial: Sunday: 10:00 A.
