THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C.
RULES ARE RULES
A hard-and-fast rule on one of the
major airlines requires each plane
fly a house flag on take-offs and
landings. It is the co-pilot’s duty to
put the flag in place, and a $5
fine may be assessed if he for
gets. TTiis happened on a bitterly
cold January night; the plane was
flying the New York-Chicago run.
The captain was one of the line’s
veterans, hard-boiled and cigar-
chewing. His co-pilot was a young
ster on his first scheduled trip. Two
hours out of New York, with the
ceiling down to nothing, the wings
began to ice. The captain chewed
another inch off his cigar and said
nothing. jSoon snow-static had made
the radio almost useless. The co
pilot began to feel jittery. Fifteen
minutes later a cylinder head blew
off the port engine. Controlling him
self as well as he could, the co-pilof
spoke:
“What are we going to do?”
The captain eyed him coldly.
"You see that, don’t you?” he asked,
pointing to the altimeter, which in
dicated that the plane was going
down into the darkness like a
dropped brick. The co-joe nodded
woodenly.
The captain’s voice rose to u roar.
“Well, stick out the damn flag!
You want to get fined five bucks?*'
CONVINCING EVIDENCE
“Mary,” said her mother reprov
ingly, “every time you are naughty,
I get another gray hair.”
“Gee, mom, you must have been
a terror when you were young-
just look at Grandma!”
Evening It Up
“Bridget,” Mike complained to
his wife, “I don’t like the thought o’
yez goin’ out so much at night.”
“Why, Mike,” she rejoined,
“don’t yez realize I’m gettin’ an edi-
cation.”
“An’ phwat are ye learnin’?” de
manded Mike.
“Why tonight I learned about the
laws of compensation.”
“Compensation,” said Michael.
“What’s that?”
“Why, I can’t explain; but fur in
stance, if the sense of smell is poor,
the sense of taste is all the sharper,
and if yez are blind, ye can hear all
the better.”
“Ah. yes,” said Mike, thoughtful
ly. “I see, it’s loike this. Fur in
stance, if a man is born wid wan
leg shorter than the other, the oth
er is longer.”
Silence Please
Three men who were cronies be
came convinced the world was mak
ing too many demands on their time
and energy, so they packed up,
gave up their jobs and went to a
cabin in the North woods. At the
end of the first year, one remarked,
“This quiet is enjoyable.”
A year later the second remarked,
“Yes.”
At the end of the next year the
third replied disgustedly, “If you
two are going to keep on chattering
I’m going home.”
PIDGIN ENGLISH
A Chinese gentleman was trying
to catch a train at Union Station and
a porter was trying to locate his
baggage. The Chinaman got very
upset. Finally, as. the train was
about to depart he hammered upon
the counter and exploded in these
words:
“Pretty damn seldom where my
bag go. She no fly. You no more
fit run station than God’s sake.
That’s all I hope.”
Glimmer of Sense
Author Elbert Hubbard was ad'
dressing the inmates of ah insane
asylum. Suddenly one of the group
got up and started to walk out, say
ing as he left:
“I can’t stand another second of
this nonsense.”
Later Hubbard expressed his coh-
ceyj over the incident to the head
of the institution.
“Don’t fret,” consoled the asy
lum’s director. “That act was the
patient’s first symptom of his re
gaining his sanity.”

CLINICAL IMPROVEMENT
after only 10-day treatment
Foster D. Snell, Inc, well-known consult*
ing chemists, have just completed a test
with a group of men and women suffering
from Athlete’s Foot. These people were
told to use Soretone. At the end of only a
ten-day test period, their feet were exam
ined by a physician. We quote from the
report:
“After the use of Soretone according to
the directions su the label for a period
of only ten days, 80.696 of the cases
showed clinical improvement of an infec
tion which is most stubborn to control."
Improvements were shown in the symp
toms of Athlete’s Foot—the itching, burn
ing, redness, etc. The report says:
“in our opinion Soretone is of very def
inite benefit in the treatment of this
disease, which is commonly known as
j ‘Athlete’s Foot’.’’
