Whiskey and Snake Bite.

The efficacy of whiskey as an antidote
for snake poison is a popular fallacy-an
exploded fallacy now. Pioneers who have
been through the rattlesnake days will
learn of this with mingled feelings of their
old fears and faiths. Most of them will
also have to revise their opinions of some
doctor who approved of the "cure." The
faith in it was so serene that it seems al
most pity, now that the rattlers are about
exterminated, to disturb it. In the early
settlement periods people were so sure of
the merits of whiskey as a snake bite anti
dote that poets could create situation of
extra solemnity just through portraying a
shortage of booze. AS one old favorite

A mountain RATHER hit him hard
In the jaw just under the ear,
With every durn drop of whisky gone
And never settlement near.

Before the germ theory was established
it was easy to err in prognosis and diagno-
sis 1t is easy now to imagine how the rep
utation of whiskey as an antidote arose.
Ages and ages ago, perhaps, an individual
was struck by RATHER. Not knowing what
to do he filled up with booze. He recov-
cred from the booze and the snake bite, and
word spread over the neighborhood that
1vhiskey was a sure antidote for snake bite.
And the error spread and spread, even
down to the present day and generation.
But now comes a physician who declares
that he has carefully investigated this
snake bite trouble, and that it is merely i'm
aginery. He AYERS, indeed, that more fatal
tiles have resulted from the Overdoses of
whiskey taken as remedy than from the
bites. He says that in seven out of eight
cases rattlesnake bite does not prove fatal
to adults where they have no treatment of
any kind. Out of 100000 deaths occur
ring annually in the United States only ten
are charged to snake bites, and in some OF
these cases it is claimed whiskey should
have at least share of the blame.
If any citizens are holding back on the
question of prohibition because of snakes
the new doctrine is respectfully commended
to them as special consolation.

Atlantic has brought out the fact that it was not the first undersea boat to per- form this feat A year ago 10 British submarines, the parts for which were made in the United States, voyaged with out mshap from Montreal, Canada, to Portsmouth, a distance of 3600 miles. But the construction of submarine capable of carrying 1000 tons of merchandise across the Atlantic is still an achievement worthy of unstinted admiration
 It is evident, however, that the allies are not gong to allow this new type nl submarine to be recognized as a legitiz mate merchantman without decided pro tests. These protests assert that sub marine of this type is a potential war ship; that a merchant ship is presumed ir international law to be so constructed and navigated that she plaily discloses her character is capable of being stopped by warning shots across her bow and can be boarded for examination of her papers What effect these protests, when formally made, will have on the government at Washington can scarcely be foretold, for it is all delicate ques- tion of international law. Meanwhile the Deutschland has a clear right to come and go as a peaceful merchantman, with the full privileges of such ships in Uncle Sam's harbors.

GOODRICH TROPHY
 TO CYCLISTS TO BE
 SENT ON LONG TOUR
Hammered Silver Cup to Be Given by Tire Company to Best Bicycle Club Team Will Be
 Displayed

A beautiful hammered silver trophy is to be presented to the bicycle club team scoring the highest number of points in open road competition this year by the B. F. Goodrich company, and the cup is being sent on tour of the larger cities
 in order that cyclist fans may view it. It is valued at, $400 To those cities not favored with the cup itself, life-size re- productions of it have been sent and are now being displayed in store windows as hangers.
 The National Cycle association must sanction the races, which must be con ducted under N. c. A. rules in order that points may count. One or two instances have already come to light where failure to do this has prevented the points from counting in the contest for the cup. Bicycle teams in Birmingham and Ala bama that contemplate contesting for the cup should write to the National Cycle associa tion, New York, or to the B. F. Goodrich company for a copy of the rules under which the contest is being held.
 Although the Goodrich company makes bicycle tires, among which is the fla nous Palmer, used by many racers, competing riders may use any make of tire they desire in the contest.

TAYLOR TALKS ABOUT
 TRUCK TIRE TYPES
Goodyear Manager Says Tires Should Be Selected With View of the
 Work to Be Done

T am often asked, What type of tire should I use on my truck?'" says J. s. Taylor, branch manager the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.
 Tt all depends, of course, upon the ser vice expected. Tires are the shoes for motor vehicles and demand the same de- gree of care in their se1ction as you ex- ercise in the purchase of your own shoes. The dancing master policeman, sports man and working man must have shoes, but no type or weight produces satisfac- ton for all of them, so each selects the type best suited to the service expected.

Likewise in the selection of truck tires
 the service expected must govern the type

Likewise in the selection of truck tires the service expected must govern the type selected.
 Generally speaking, if speeds over 25 miles. an hour are required, pneumatics are recommended. For heavy duty, slow going trucks, use solid tires, making due allowance for local conditions. On light delivery trucks the Goodyear Motz Com mercial Cushion tire is rapidly growing into favor Next to air, it provides the best cushion for both truck and load. It is the intermediate type between the pneumatic and the solid, and its field Is broadening constantly. Wherever we have recommended Motz tires, new truck economies have Justified the change. Trucks have fewer broken parts and re- pair bills are less frequent less costly. Motz tires permit speeds up to 25 miles an hour which insure quicker deliveries and a wider territory covered"

 The Firestone people do volume of around $25,oOo,Oo0 yearly. For such an in dustry a yearly increas of even 5 per
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-23

cent to 10 per cent would seem a splendid showing.
 In their newspaper advertising the Firestone people point out that such an increase means the delivery of genuine quality. It is an argument the mind of the business man understands.
 When one realizes the new competition brought into the tire industry by the de- velopment of new companies and the growing demand of tire consumers it strikes us as mighty good advertising to tell of this Firestone 3s per cent increase in volume of business.

Down to Defeat.

UTICA, N. r, July 1i-Just as Ichiya
Kumagae and Hachishiro Mikami start
ed in to burn things up in the New York
State tennis championships here. some
one has come across with a protest that
the National Association Is exploiting
tho Japanese champions.
According to Edward e. Torrey. Sec
rotary Of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association, there 10 no
ground for such accusation. Torrey de-
MES that there is any truth in charges
against the Japs. and says that their
trio to this country is at the instance
Of several prominent Japanese bankers
who have the interest OF the sport in
Japan at heart and are anxious to see
what success the Japanese contestants
can attain in the United States. The
accusation against the Japanese have
been aimed more at the National Ten

1t was the superior ability to place

continually to the deep court, SO that

There was plenty or evidence that MI
