BONTHRON PLANS
BUSINESS CAREER
Cunningham, Too, May Pass
Up Track Game After
Foreign Tour.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Press Sports Editor.

~ ILL BONTHRON will hang up
- his running shoes as soon as
ne gets back to America from
IL Europe and start q business
career in New York.
Glenn Cunningham, finished with
his college career also. may decide to
settle down in the Middle West and
give up foot-racing after he returns
from the trip with the American track
team to the Orient.
Jack Lovelock is going back to his
home in New Zealand. undecided as to
whether he will attempt to continue
in competition.
Thus, after the most amazing series
of performances at the classic dis
tances of / 800 meters and l mile in
the entire history of athletes, it ap-
pears we will have to close the chapter
and forget all about the thrills it
would produce If these three great
runners were brought together for
the 1896 Olympics in Berlin. 1t isn't
safe to make sweeping predictions, but
I venture that it will be at least an
other generation before we see any
thing like the feats Of this trio on
the cinder paths.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., August 18 (P.-
Breaking loose with another subpar

eron of Houston, Tex, off his feet,
w. D. dub Fondren merely coasted
in the afternoon round today to sue
cessfully defend his Biltmore Forest
invitation golf championship with a
7-and-6 victory.
Finding the Texan wild on the

three-put greens himself, to hold an
Sup advantage when time was called

salvation are the ones who are not
responsible for killing $4,000 per-
sons in a single year. To put a
stop to this tremendous death toll,
which can be prevented by no more
difficult method than each person
being careful instead of careless, is
one of the most vital tasks facing
America today. The Delaware
Safety Council, which recognizes
the fearfulnes of this situation, is
making the prevention of motoring
casualties one of it's foremost cam
paigns, but cannot save 10000 lives
in 1884 unless the public in general
will be intelligent enough to be-
come more vitality interested in its
own welfare. Better be safe than
sorry" is a good adage, but per-
haps most people would take it
more seriously if they realized that
in most auto accidents one does
not get a chance to be sorry.

SANE DRIVING ADVICE

The automobile, considered one

tieth century, is more deadly than
the beasts of the jungle, the ele-
ments at their worst, or the devas-
tating weapons of warfare, accord
ing to the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil, which is waging a fight for
safety on the streets and highways.
To prove this startling statement
the Safety Council produces figures
which show that in all Americas
wars since colonial days 100000
Americans were killed in action or
died of wounds, while in the last
fifteen years, 325,OO0 Americans
have been killed in automobile ac-
cidents or died of injuries received
in them. Pedestrians also have ex-
hibited inexcusable and wanton
carelessness which have caused IA
talities. In the same year over

DEATH OF MRS. MARY EN-
lily WILLIAMS Mary En-
lily Williams, who died at Milton,
May 20, and was buried at Bethel
near Summit Bridge, was born
near Greensboro, Md, Nov. Is,
1889. She was of English descent,
her grandparents having come
from England and settled in Caro-
line county. Her mind was always
of religious cast and in her tenth
year she was converted, under pc
culiar circumstances. While at
school, she, with several of her
schoolmates, met at noon one day
to conduct a play prayer-meeting.
The play became serious and our
sister and two playmates were
there converted. The older schol-
ars became interested and many of

crossed carelessly at intersections;
and almost IA per cent where per-
sons were walking along the high
way. Deaths caused by natural
catastrophies are unavoidable; IA
talities among primitive peoples
are expected momentarily; but In ?
civilized world with all its safe
guards only mans own careless
ness is to blame. The astounding
death toll makes us wonder what
progres has been made since the
hazardous era of the Neanderthal
Man. There is no doubt that the
American people have progressed
potentially, and it would be foolish
to say tht in the invention of the
automobile man has done nothing
but create a hazard. An auto is
like fire, which people are wont to
say is a good friend but a danger
Gus enemy. The auto in itself is
not a hazard; it is merely a piece
of machinery. But with a person
behind the wheel who has no re-
gard for the rights and safety of
others, and apparently just as lit
tie for himself, the piece Of ma
chinery becomes more dangerous
than ten lions and more deadly
than Big Bertha. The insane de-
sire to get some place in hurry
with probably nothing to do when
there-has caused more deaths in
the United States an a major mil
itary engagement. Drivers who

them professed faith in Christ. The
community around was impressed,
great numbers attended and in a
short time those monday prayer
meetings became the seat of a
wonderful revival and 112 souls,
old and young, were brought into
the church of God by their instru-
mentality. Thus early in life had
God seen fit to make her laborer
in extending His kingdom. In her
18th year she took charge of a
Sabbath school class and became
the honored instrument in the
hands of God of leading many
young people to the. Savior. A
great favorite in the community in
which she lived, her loss was deep
ly regretted by old and young,
when on the 22nd of November
1860, she was united in holy mat
rimony to Rev. T. S. Williams. The
itinerancy opened a yet wider field
for the use of those gifts and
graces which she so largely owned.
She took great delight in making
her home not only happy, but a
place of welcome to the people
with whom she was related. A
physician, calling in one day to
visit her in her sickness, remarked
afterwards, 'I have found in the
last hour a model woman, a model
housekeeper and model Christian.
Her devotion to her family and the
sacrifices made for its enjoyment
and welfare canot be told. Said
the grown sons and daughter, 20
that she could have lived, that we
might in some degree have repayed
her exceeding love and labor for
u.s." Twenty months ago disease
took hold of her to end its work in
death. Yet the same calmness
and composure that characterized
her whole life deserted her not in
her last days. The Christian fort
itude with which she bore the
struggle showed the support of a
stronger arm than the human
and never for a moment did she
doubt the power and purpose of
that arm to bear her gently and
safely over the river. She would
talk of meeting death with that
resignation and of going to the
grave with that holy triumph and
of meeting her loved ones in heav-
en- with that inexpressible faith
and joy which could come only
from a heart wholly in unison with
the Divine Will. Said the Meth
odist Protestant Pastor who had
talked and prayed with her, II es-
TEEN it not only a rare privilege
but a peculiar pleasure to have
been in the presence of Christian
wife and mother so grandly tri-
umphing over death" To Brother
Hazard, who had prayed touching
ly and comfortingly with her, she bid
goodbye saying she would meet
him no more on earth, but would
in Heaven. A few days before her
death she said to her husband, ''Pa,
I heard Bishop Simpson preach in
| Philadelphia once, in which sermon
he said we would have living grace
while living and dying grace when
we came to that hour. The latter

There Is
Something
Wrong
with the logic of the business man who makes his adj
vertsng budget bear the brunt of what he thinks is
reduction in overhead 1t is poor psychology
to that reduce the thing that produces
sales and not suffer proportionate reduction in sales
If advertising is good in normal times it is wise to try
advertising first aid to volume when the sales
fall below the average.
American business have always professed
their faith in advertising Indeed, anybody who has
experimental with advertising plans knows that
advertising pays in sales return
FIVE wait to go ahead with advertising plans until
we can make our advertisements reflect better times
we'll never reach the goal We've got to advertise first
and have confidence that the general business picture
will soon take on the hue of our advertisements
Advertising paves the way for actual sales effort
Nothing takes the place of elbow grease But it is a
fact that when spending money for adve1+
tlslng, we just naturally work harder make sales
Our solution for 1934s troubles little more adve1
tising and lot more effort
Nobody foretel what this combination will do
for any of us. But doesn't take prophet to predict
what will happen without the expenditure of money
advertising and the increasing of sales effort
