And while their arguments | fill the air, it is interesting to get the point of view of one of these much-discussed small busiress men. What is his slant on recovery, anyhow? | There came to this desk the other day a letterl from the owner of a modest shoe repair shop in Hornell, N. Y. He raises a point which illustrates one of the most difficult angles of the whole tangle: “In 1926—my> peak year,” he writes, “I had a gross sales volume of $5,913.60. In 1934—the same' number of sale through the cash register—and a gross volume of business of $1,668.60; the outcomel of trving to meet the chain shops’ price dictation. No profit, and in the red. “Naturally, I cannot buy as heavily or for future needs. I cannot make the necessary improvements in my home or new additions to the shop. Why? Because a chain grocery advertised soles and heels at § cents a pair. To meet that form of competi tion I would have to work a man for nothing, give my savings to the wholesaler and donate my ser vices free of charge. Then ‘they wonder why we! have hard times and a depression!” (It should be understood, of course, that the chain store was sellitg merely the soles and heels, and“was not attaching them to the custemer's shoes for that price). sy : In trving to think our way out of a dilémnra like! this, you come up- against one of the miost vexing contradictions of the day; the conflict between the | consumer’s desire for cheap retail prices which the economies of big kasiness units make possible, on the cne hand, and the necessity for preserving one of the fundamental features of the American land scape—the small shop in which the individuul! worker or retailer can find independence. As consumers, we look for the lowest price levels available. 'lf a big corporation offers us commodi ties at a price which the individual merchant can- | not meet, we rush to the bargain counter and snap them up. Yet few of us care to picture an America ; in which the industrious and ambitious man can nol longer branch out for himself and establish a little l_wm;wss_ of his own. That freedom of opportunity Is one of our most prized national assets. i Somehow we have got to find a. way to harmonize this difficulty. A return te prosperity which squeezed | out the small business man would cost more thanm it was worth. Whatever the answer may be—and it | must be admitted that it isn’t in sight, just offhand —the pressure on units like this Hornell shoe re- | pair shop must be lessened. THE SAFEGUARD By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Associa tion, and of Hygeia, the Health Mzgazine. "ery family in which there are children ought to have a fever thermometer. ; With'it, you might worry a good deal by occas ional instances in which the temperature is above normal and in which there is nothing seriously Wrong. But you will also detect many conditions. in their earliest stages and, by calling a physician Promptly, yon will save yourself a great deal of brolonged illness and serious applications. Apparenty the first man to measure temperature Was an Italian named Sanctorius, who developed a thermometer. After he built his thermometer, ‘Which Wias an exceedingly bulky instrument, it occurre(} 0 him to measure the heat of the body. About 1714, Fahrenheit invented the thermometer Used in this country, the mercury. thermometer with the Fahrenheit scale. - As late as 1870, thermometers used in measuring fevers were about 10 inches long, were placed under the arm and took 5 minutes to register. The modern tompact fever thermometer, used in the mouth and ther cavities of the body, is a much more recent inventiom, | n the case of small babies the temperature should dways'be taken in the reetum, rather than in the mouth. The normal temperature as taken in the tectunmi varies between 98 and 99.6. : You should always be sure that the mercury is Vell shaken down before putting the thermometer nto the body. I taking temperature in the rectum, a special lermiometer with a blunt tip is used. The child is ‘Muwl face downward, preferably on the mother’s “h - The thermometer, well greased with vaseline, Ol cream or petrolatum, should then be placed in the rectum and held in position until removed. The mother should not go away and leave the ‘Vld with the thermometer in place, because the Child may turn and break the thermometer and “eriously injure itself. Neither should the ther- Moneter be placed in ‘the rectum with the child lying on its back. After the thermometer is used, it should be Washed thoroughly with soap and water, then Vliced in alcohol for 5 minutes, dried and returned 0 its case. Never wash a fever thermometer with hot water. This may break it. e e i Aoscow, Russia, is omé of the few cities of the ;"7 to boast uniformed policewomen on regular il+ They wear helmets, and, attached to a belt por, i olive-drab Jackets, is a pistol in a leather 0 Ster., i ; B e » There ape 2,000,000 permanent unemployables in the United States: 300,000 of these are mentally dl&ased!,, St g gT SR OS B : FREE LICENSES FOR VETERANS * For years there has been more or less misunderstandings of the law exempting veterans of the various wars from the pay ment of municipal, county and state taxes. Much of these misunderstandings has been brought about on account of the lack of knowledge on the part of ordinaries and other tax officers of the state. However, at the recent session of the legislature, a veterans’ occupation tax bill was passed which makes the law clear and under standable to all concerned. The provisions in the bill are given in detail in order that everyone connected officially with the tax levying department of the state and those of the veterans who may desire to secure free licenses.” L '.}‘he veteran must be at least 10 per cent disabled. 2. Must have had war-time service and hold an honorable discharge. 3. His income must be such that he is not liable to federal income tax.” Blank applications for veterans’ free li censes are now in possession of the ordi naries in every county in the state. When these applications have been properly fill ed out and filed with the ordinary, a li cense is immediately issued. The license is then forwarded to Paul H. Doyal, chair man of the revenue commission, in the state capitol in Atlanta, for registration. When this has been done, the license is returned to the veteran. The law reads: “Then they become conclusive of the vet erans’ right and no court can question the fact or degree of the veterans’ disability”. In case of objections arising, the objec tor must file his case with the state tax commisgion and not before any court. Ur}- der the new law, veterans will not experi ence delays and sometimes refusals from county officers, simply because, these of ficials are not informed as to the law. | AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY GROWING During the new year, the motor car in dustry has surpassed all others in this country in the way of increased business. More than 1,313,000 passenger cars and trucks have been assembled by the various manufacturers. It is believed that by the first of May there will be more units pro duced than in the entire year of 1932. With the growth and development of the automobile business, many other lines of industries are helped. Raw material of various kinds are bought and used in the manufacture of automobiles; increased employment is made necessary, not only with the automobile people, but in all lines of business tributary to this industry. Millions of men have been put to work in these varied lines of industry, and if the purchasing power of the public continues, a general revival is bound to be felt throughout the country. ~ GETTING “MIGHTY” PARTICULAR In the absence of Vice-President Garner, tone of the senators was presiding in the lsenate a few days ago. The gession was not ‘,not progressing rapid and the new pre siding officer undertook to liven up things by ordering the gallery to be cleared. The sergeant-at-arms cleared the gallery, but in so doing, several of the spectators grew resentful and showed it in their manner of speech and action. However, that opposi tion did not deter the officers in the dis charge of their duty and those outside of the press gallery and the official section were forced to leave the senate. l The action of the new presiding officer! was occasioned from continued “buzzing” | of conversations while the august body of statemens were meditating over important legislation, and could not afford to be dis turbed. The members of the senate are jealous of their rights and dignity of the office‘ they hold, but people should not be driven from the gallery, except in extreme casgs.' These people have a right to keep up wlt.h. and know just what is going on in thelr} legislative bodies. { CALLED ANOTHER SESSION From all appearances, Senator Long, of Louisiana, finds his recreation,in calling extra sessions of the legislature. So far this year, he has called some four or five sessions. The legislation enacted by the legislators has been purely of a personal type. The “Kingfish” spends a few weeks in Washington and when things do not go to suit him, down in his home state, he orders an extra session of the legislature, draws his pet hills, hands them over to his, house and senate leaders and orders them! to adopt them as written, and in no in stance have the members failed to pass his legislation. The purpose of ‘the call of the present session has not been stated, but it is be lieved that it was for the passage of per sonal measures that will give to the Sena-- tor more power, whether legal or other-| wise. From past experiences, it is not al question of legality, but it is a mere ques tion of the necessity for the legislation that will aid the “Kingfish” to continue in power. There may be others in the United | States who in manor born, the equal of] Huey Long, but such a person has not yet been discovered. In Samoa, a girl is given her brother’s name if she is born after his death, and a boy is giver his sister’s name under sim ilar circumstances. : In England and Wales, the cost of edu ctaing a pupil in the elementary schools has risen in the last few years from $23.75 to $65 annually. : Although frequently called the “cyclone state,” Kansas ranks only seventh in an nual wind damage. One-eighth of the population of Alaba ma is composed of children between the ages of 5 and 9. oo el e THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA The W]lat'ls'lt T e TR : T o oen goy T R R wOig e Py "’\:m*""~xr"';"-\rmf”‘,;;,\%""‘fl BTIT TR ' Y RS, bsee G aifij T ~e-_,.r{n',*fivl":'w“i’-‘{’.‘-‘3’.‘"2 A’3 ‘-' ot Rt Xo R =il o ""-";},L“ff‘;:x?fili§;sfr;‘§?;?7'2§".l3&¢:; Ts TR AL T "l R PATES e VRN RR e f_“:‘n;, :a::..‘j,-:i»_-!;;:’-”:_g‘_-r > 'oA -‘-‘l-».'#’ o ey WG ’!r;{' fadn -€-§»:A k : vy N BN i g j % TN e = - ) ): ; b ¢S e ¥ gt p A BLo bl =, 54 ’i l‘/.M' ? .;i}!\;:; d «fl s ¢ Ao 7 If! or f}} dunt o Wik i o [ o f‘ =i Q AL eo op T 8 1 BelS TN & ‘—\ ip’ Y L-\ Xl. — By v‘.‘ixJ - 5}% b o g S - ™ a Rt La A R WRIn g (g et 3 R b LeIST k) tar vy S R ol %&’ ~ W " £ “'la:“ ‘f":i'f' oPR "3 i- E £ ei g o AL 4.4 . e {l3 g iTRi "R 't«-'=rfiz7"~“ ' i Tit i NRk g A A 1R L T AL & ¢St A4t eA S ioo A WM“: | -~ R eTS il i 4vßg -i AR |O4 VTI RS A 4 f)v 3 : 4@‘ o e AT % "‘f&'-&;i:’?‘ !fr"&"‘;":'f ik i bA - - Yooig ' 4 By LU qa 4 P | AN QA o LTS [ S Y e ¢ NB kv N 4 :‘ e daens K 3 { : 3 TT N oel LN ' 7/ i ST \ i »:‘",»!n"a&" 537 s TEAc Al LA ;BN 7 & 'O e (Rt i(¥ 3 3 : /A M : GRS i, iAo R e .v’/ - £ g g q”" e ving s% H R SRS L 5 LBl = § RN =GAR .

Reports are that about 5,000 acres have been planted in this seetion to tomato plants and most o;'these are being grown under supervision of the state depart ::ent of entomology. Eight ento ologists are now located in south Georgia inspecting the plant flklfls and will inspect the plants as they wre pulled and packed for shipment. The plant shipments Wil carry certificates showing in spection. Tifton is ‘the chief point son tomate plant shipments, moving nearly two hundred express car loads last season. With favorable weather conditions, the movement this year may be larger, growers say, although the weather is a vital factor. : : Arrangements have Dbeen made to run special tomato plant ex press trains to handle the plant shipments. For plants to the east, the special would run from Al bany to Nahunta or Folkston, connecting with a fast through train from Florida to the east. For plants to the middle west, a special would be run from Jacksonville to Cincinnati. This fast service would make it pos sible to set plants in the field in the east and middle west two days after they are pulled in south Georgia, a grower stated. Local plant growers have leased three tobacco warehouses to use for packing sheds. The plants will be pulled in "the flelds, truck ed to the sheds, where they will be graded and packed, and load ed direct into thel express cars and picked up by the special trains. Movement of the plants gives work to many day labor ers. A few plants are moving now but volume shipments will begin the last week in April with the peak early in May, the weather permitting.

Stallings of Waycross, at present deputy district governor of Lions clubs for the Ninth zone of Geor gia, be elected district governor of Lions for the state of Georgia, is one which should meet with the approval of every member of Lions clubs in Georgia. Mr. Stallings has been an un tiring worker in activities of Lion ism and has also been one of the outstanding citizens of 8 o u t h Georgia, He is eminently quali fied for the position and the Lions clubs of Georgia ip their annual convention, which is to be held in ‘Columbus on May 27-28, could make no better choice for their: district governor than Arnold Stallings. There are a number of accom plishments which qualify Mr. Stall ings for the position. Among t.heml are: Associate editor of the Waycross Journal-Herald for more than 13 years, He has served as secretary, vice president and president of the Waycross and Ware County Cham ber of Commerce. He originated the idea for a se ries of meetings to be 'held by the Waycross and Ware County Cham ber of Commerce to promote great er friendliness among the cities of wouth Georgia, which meetings are receiving wide support. He is one of two men in all Lions International to have a per fect attendance record for more than 13 years, He served as secretary and pre sident of the Waycross Lions club. Under 'his presidency the Waycross club grew from 15 to 61 members. The club meanwhile came second in Lions International for the or ganization of new clubg. The Way cross club ip that time led Lions International for growth in mem bership and attained state leader ship in the number of Key mem bers. 4‘ Mr. Stallings is mow serving as district deputy governor of the Ninth done, composed of the Lions clubs at Adel, Valdosta, Homer ville, Waycross, Alma, Fitzgerald and Hazlehurst. He was the first deputy district governor in Georgia to inaugurate a policy of visiting each club in the zone each month and to hold a zone meeting of all the clubs every pixty days. ‘ In addition to the above activi ties in Lionism and Chamber of Commerce activities — both of vhich bespeak for Mr. St,amngs“ an unselfish devotion to his city‘ and section—he is a member of the board of stewards of the First Methodist church of Waycross and is a member of the board of direc tors of the Okefinokee Golf club of Waycross. By his multitudinous activities Mr. Stallings has proved himself a man who is devoted to 'his city, his section, his state and the civie organizaitions of which he is a member. Certainly Arnold Stallings is a standout for district governor of Lionism for the state of Georgia.— Valdosta Times. MILL REPORTS LOSS MANCHESTER, N.

And, Mrs, Batterton adds, the clinging vine type is a thing of the past, Mrs. Batterton can’t even recall the time she has seen a blush but there’s always one thing that will hack the bride-elect. That's when she comes in to purchase the li cense herself, “They make all sorts of excuses and explanations,” Mrs. Batterton sald today. “The boy friend had to work—he lives in another town— he is sick—and so on. They want you to understand fully that it was mot because he did not want to come.” Mrs, Batteron has noticed that more and more brides of the mod ern days are older ithan the grooms, Mayhe—she suggests—it is only that brides are more truthful about their ages than formerly. “Anyway, a girl may be any where from five to six years older than the boy but this doesn't seem to bother either of them.

The allies had seized the city from Hungary during the World War and, while Italy and Yugo-Slavia wrangled over its possession, D’Anrunzio led a force into Fiume and took control. The Treaty of Rapallo made Fiume independent, but D’An nunzio defied the powers for more than a year, even declaring war on his own country, But Italians bombarded the city and D’Annun zio fled. One of the stamps of Fiume that depict this incident is shown here, an Italian sailor raising the Italian flag over the city.
