} THE TOURIST INDUSTRY
*The biggest business in the Unit
•**i States, today, according to Roger
W. Babson, is the tourist industry.
With paved roads everywhere, bet
ter and faster automobiles than
before, Americans by the hun
dreds of thousands are “seeing A
nrrica first.”
The tourist industry in 1936
reached the staggering figure of two
fcoilion dollars. Some communities
profited by this lavish expenditure;
athers didn’t—meaning that some
went after it and others just let na
ture take its course, and that course
b usually in the direction of the
camnninities who go after it.
According to Mr. Babson, the
tanrist industry in 1936 was: 60 per
mt greater than the lumber indus
*o; 51 per cent greater than petro
leum ; 11 per cent greater than pack
ing;? business; 45 per cent greater
Vkiiik printing and publishing; 186
cent greater than the baking
kmsiness; 222 per cent greater than
tke shoe industry; 11 per cent larger
t* an the clothing business; and
cpial in dollars and cents to the
iron and steel industry.
He estimates the tourist spends
fc' dollar as follows: 6 per cent for
•wsfections; 814 per cent for amuse
■oits; 17 per cent for lodging;
IS '2 per cent for auto accessories
fuel; 20 per cent for food; and
2S per cent for purchases in- retail
.stores.
HAVE YOU DONE YOUR BIT?
Tuberculosis still takes some 70,-

Yr. It still is our leading killer of
tknse between 15 and 40. It is es
sential, then, that the National Tu-
Wrrulosis Association continue to
Stanly methods of early detection and
keep up its relentless search for a
positive cure. There are today 21
separate scientific bodies working
with its committee on medical re
awsrch to find an effective serum,
■drants from the Association of
fends obtained by the sale of Seals
fcmve made this inquiry possible. Al-
Msjdy the committee has improved a
wa*y to find out whether or not
tuberculosis is silently at work in the
Body. With the perfected Tubercu-
Bub Test, anyone can know for sure
within 48 hours.
Nearly a million tuberculin tests
w'ere made under N. T A. auspices
■a the United States last year, and
tkey are rapidly coming into use
far>ughout the world. If the Christ
•bms Seal had done nothing more
tfcan make possible a world census

place on every piece of mail matter
throughout the whole year. Foi 4 the

HUGO BLACK’S THYROID
Justice Hugo Black went to see
his doctor for a physical checkup
some time ago, after which the doc
tor said:
“Your trouble is that you are ex
reting too much thyroid.”
“What does that mean?”
“You are burning up too much
energy.”
“Well, what do you do for a thing
like that?” asked Black.
“Operate on the thyroid glands to
reduce the amount of energy.”
Black thought a moment and then
shook his head.
“I don’t think I want that done,
Doctor,” he said. “I started my ca
reer pushing a plow behind a mule
on a little farm down in Alabama.
It was energy that brought me from
those plow handles to a seat on the
Supreme Court. I’m afraid that if
anything Is done to that energy I
may find myself back behind that
mule.”

81-YEAR-OLD MOTHER TRAVELS
BY PLANE AND LIKES IT
Mrs. J. I. Patten, 81, of near Ab
beville, Ga., stepped out of an air
plane at Nacogdoches, Texas, a few
mornings ago, and went around to
631 North street to spend a while
with her daughter Mrs. R. B. Blake.
A reporter from the Daily Sentinel
published this story illustrating pre
war and post-war life conditions in
Georgia. Mrs. Patten was a young
girl when the breadwinners in her
family were called away to join the
army. She and her older brother
undertook to make a living for the
mother and several younger children.
As she now tells it, the principal diet
was sweet milk and cornbread. She
gathered about her a few of the
neighboring children and taught
them in a tenant house on the farm,
giving them the only education most
of them ever received. Her mode
of travel at that time was the ox
cart.
She married, and she and her hus-,
band worked hard on the farm, lived j
humbly, and rode to church on the j
ox cart. Then came the horse-and-i
buggy days, followed by surreys, and
carriages. Then came bicycles, and
soon followed the automobile. And
How the airplanes. Mrs. Patten ate
breakfast with her youngest son in
Miami on Sunday morning, boarded
an airplane, and lunched with her
oldest son in Atlanta on that same
day. The next day she went to see
her Texas daughter. She says she
has tried all the modes of travel, but
now she is wedded to the airplane;
and as she looks out over the young
er generation of this day she says,
“If I had your chance I would
amount to something.”

The danger of developing lock
jaw from even superficial wounds
was emphasized Saturday by Dr. T.
F. Abercrombie, state health depart
ment director, in a warning to per
sons using firearms or fireworks dur
ing the holiday season. He urged
immediate use of tetatus anti-toxin
by those who receive such wounds.
Dr. Abercrombie said 40 deaths
from tetatus occurred in Gedrgia in
193 C.

ING SHADOW
As the fourth chapter of Univer
sal’s “Secret Agent X-9” starts at
the Roosevelt Theatre on Tuesday
and Wednesday, another G-man
stops the machinery that lowers the
spike-tipped gate, just before the
points pierce X-9. Pidge later tele
phones X-9, giving him the location
of the painting. Brenda’s men shad
ow X-9 and get the information.
There is an auto race between X-9
and the thieves to reach the spot
first, which results in a desperate
gun-fight. X-9 and Tommy Dawson
are in a shed getting the painting,
when Brenda’s men send a giant au
to truck crashing against the shed,
which fcontair.s a gasoline tank. The
gas ignites and explodes, apparently
dooming X-9 and Tommy.
