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.

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.

Looking ’em Over
By LONNIE FRANKUN
Coach Laval and his Lavaliers are
giving fans some good baseball this
summer and fans are going for it in
a big way. 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.

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.
