SALE MANAGERS s
NEW POLICY
=. =. PARKER HAS LOCATED PER
MANENTLY IN ARDM0RE AND
is NOW HANDLING SALE OF
STOCK FOR THE COMPANY

Mr.. =. p. Parker general sales man
ager of the BeSaw Tire & Rubber Com
pany, has had nine years Of experience
in the sales and advertising departments
with some of the best rubber tire fac
tories in the United States He has held
positions such as factory representative,
disrtict manager. eastern district sales
manager vice president, advertising
manager assistant sales manager, and
general sales manager, giving him an
opportunity to become thoroughly ex-
perienced in branches of the business
concerning the sales, advertising and
executive departments.
Mr.. Parker, during his experiences,
has put forth a special effort to con-
centrate and specialize on some policy
of selling tires that would eliminate the
overhead and local travelling salesman's
expense, national advertising cam
paigns and branch house expenses
These items alone cost approximately
$40 900 10000 during 1916, for the rub
Der industry TO market their tires.
He has been connected with the fol
lowing companies in the positions
above mentioned:
years with The G. & J. Tire & Rub
! Der Co., indianapolis, Ind.
} years with The Swinehart Tire &
/ Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio
| years with The Knight Tire Rub
! ber Co.. Canton, Ohio.
! years with The BeSaw Tire & Rub
ber Co., Tartvile, Ohio.
| When Mr.. Parker Joined Mr. BeSaw
as general sales manager Of, this com
pany. he Immediately proceeded TO es,
| tablish his advanced and economic
sales policy. which he had worked out
, from his past experiences. The present
| sales policy increased the sales over
! 100 per cent at the close Of the first
four months; at the close Of the second
| four months the increase was over 300
per cent, and since that time similar
increases are continuing.
The sales department now has orders
on file at the Ohio plant for over
10000 tires These have been placed on
| back order files on account Of the lin
| tied manufacturing capacity Of the Ohio
plant. The local orders are coming in
fast enough daily to take the entire
output Of the Ohio plant now working
day and night. therefore the back or
ders will probably not be filed until
the Ardmore factory is in operation.
As well as general sales manager, Mr..
Parker is a stockholder and member
Of the board Of directors and one OF
the executives Of the company. lie is
permanently located in Ardmore, and
owing to the fact that the output IS
oversold. he has taken charge Of the
handling Of the capital stock, with tenn
porary office in the Wilmington Hotel
awaiting the completion Of the Simp
son building.

have sprung up in one-half of the states

In 1914, after 54 years the rubber

Requirements for Admission
To Medical Colleges

tBy DR.. W. S. Leathers. Dean OF
Medical DEPARTMENT.
The standard of medical education
has advanced with great rapidity
during the past decade. This is
especially true with reference to the
literary requirements for entrance to
a medical school. 1t is of special
importance that the young men OF
Mississippi, who intend to study
medicine, understand these require
rients. There has been considerable
confusion during the past two OF
three years, on the part OF hlgh
school graduates. and even those who
have attended one or more years IN
some college.
There are at present three classes
o. medical colleges. They are classl-
fed into A, b and c groups. AS are
acceptable. Bs need general improve
ment and Cs require complete re-or-
panization. There are 81 A, ID II
and ~ c medical colleges IN the
United States.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1917-02-09

A student who desires to enter a
medical college of the grade A must
have IA units to his credit from a
high school that is properly standard
lied. In other words there are some
high schools, so called, that even
though a student graduates, he could
not be recognized as getting the
grade of work required for entrance
to a medical school. OF these II
units there should be 3 in English.
in mathematics, and a in modern OF
ancient languages. The remaining
units are elective.
All acceptable medical colleges al
so require at least one year of college
work. There are those that require
from two to four. With the session
beginning 1918 all acceptable medical
schools will require 2 years Of college
work for entrance.
The college credit, regardless of
whether it is l or 4 years, must in
clude 4 hours in Chemistry, 4 hours
in Physics, 4 hours in Biology and
in German or French. At least halt
of the work in Chemistry Physics
and Biology must be done in the lab
oratory. That is, A hours laboratory
work in each subject per week is re-
o,,,-ed There should he at least 81
weeks of actual instruction in each
course, including examinations. 1t is
not generally known that the colleges
and universities are now being CLASH
flied; and students entering colleges
| with a view to studying medicine will
do well to keep this in mind.
A student may be admitted to an
Z medical school with the following
conditions. (DHalf of the re-
| ouired course in Physics; CD half of
the required course in Biology. These
conditions must be removed before
the beginning of the work Of the
second medical year. The student
who has completed more than, or as
much as, two years Of college work
NAV secure other concessions for ad-
! mission, but all conditions must be
, made up by the student. The above
information is given because of Its
general interest.

Eos TWO COMMON PoisoNs
Harry Minor Faser, Pho, Dean
(pS of Pharmacy.)

XIV I1Cbt a
w of Pharmacy
noison has been defined as any
lance which, upon entering into
,..;on in the circulating blood or
nhemically acting upon it, is cap
uniformly Of producing serious
sodi]v injury, disease, or death; or,
a broad ~sense), is any substance
h;cb Independent of any mechani-
action. uniformly causes serious
,ad;lv injury, disease, or death, when
aOnlied to, introduced into, or devel-
oned within the body.
An antidote is any agent which
.~,rteracts or destroys the injurious
action of a poison
Two very common poisons are car
lie acid and bichloride of mercury,
Sommonly called corrosive sublimate,
and generally in the form of antisep-
tic tablets. -.
In case of poisoning by carbolic
acid. the symptoms are usually those
e burning pain from mouth to stom-
acb. a whitening of lips and mouth
,obored breathing; dizziness and later
,oss of consciousness; diminished and
,reenish, brownish, or black urine,
he urine and breath having the char
octeristic odor of carbolic acid.
The antidote is alcohol; a small
oupful diluted with an equal amount
# water. which should be immediate
" removed from the stomach with a
.tomach tube, or by means of an
smetic, such as a tablespoonful of
mustard in water. If alcohol is not

salts. Employ artificial heat, such
as hot water bottles, bricks, etc., to
he feet and sides. AS an after
treatment, give demulcent drinks,
such as milk, white of an egg, Cruel
etc. Avoid use OF oils and glycerine
as they favor solution and absorption
of the poison.
The symptoms of poisoning with
bichloride of mercury are acrid, me.
tallic, coppery taste in the mouth
sense of construction in throat
turning heat in esophagus and stom,
ach; sometimes colicky pains; mu.

The antidote in this case is first t.

this from the stomach by givin,

STATE ENGINEERS PLACE
SOON TO BE VACANT

The Gazette says that there is con-
siderable speculation here over the
probable successor TO William. Kear-
ney as state engineer. Kearney's
term of office will expire on the 22d
of this month and it is generally be.
lieved that he will not be reappointed
by Gov. Boyle.
What lends credence to this opinion
is the fact that he was not consulted
to any considerable extent when the
substitute water bill was drafted, but
Gov. Boyle says he has nothing TO give
