SELL SURPLUS COCKERELS

selling his surplus cockerels as soor

keeping them until they reach q

have long realized this, but too many
farmer poultrymen and women who
raise the heavier breeds, such as
Plymouth Rocks, are inclined TO
keep the young roOsters until they
reach four. and even six pounds in
weight.

demand for frying g to 3lz pound)

is usually at higher rate per pound.

Bronchial Irritaiions
Need Creosote

For many years our best doctors
have prescribed creosote in some
form for coughs, colds and bron-
chitis, knowing how dangerous it is
to let them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal
elements, quickly and effectively
stops coughs and colds that other
wise might lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the
treatment of colds and coughs, yet
it is absolutely harmless and is
pleasant and easy to take.
Your own druggist guarantees
Creomulsion by refunding your
money if you are not relieved after
taking Creomulsion as directed. Be-
ware the cough or cold that hangs
on. Always keep Circumcision on

Assault Victim Father
May Hang 3 Attackers
Special Mississippi Law Is
Passed by Senate; Re-

ny CHtteU FftSS
JACKSON, Miss, March 8.-The
Mississippi house today took up a
bill that would give the father of
the white girl victim of assault by
three Negroes the right to spring
the trap when the attackers are
hanged March 16.
The bill passed the senate yester-
day, over the protests Of Senator
Wilmington, who declared that I'VE
ouht not to go on record as au-
thorizing a person of this state to
hang another person for personal
reasons"
Mississippi law now permits a
sheriff to delegate any citizen Of his
county to. carry out the duty OF
hangman. The Negroes are to be
hanged in De $3.50 county and the
father lives in another county. The
bill authorizes the sheriff to ap-
point any citizen of Mississippi
Senator Richardson, its author
pledged himself to ask its repeal the
day after the executions.

VILLAGERS HOPE
Discard of Whale Used for
Perfume Found; Tests
Are Awaited.
By United Press

SAN FRANCISCO. March g.
Dreams Of fabulous wealth. CLEANED
from the sandy shores Of Bolinas
Bay. were revived today by chem
lists cautious report finding amber
girls, a rare and valuable substance,
in samples Of the treasure trove"
of the little coast town.
Confirmation Of the chemists
finding would mean approximately
100000 for the residents of the
town who stopped work, closed
school, and let bakirgs burn while
they cOmbed the shore for the evil
smelling substance used to make
perfume.
A sample of the stuff picked up
on the sandy beach was submitted
to chemist here. His finding pur-
portedly indicated that the sample
contained 10 per cent ambergris."
The substance sells at S28 an ounce.
BolinaS residents have between 200
and 300 pounds.
An old salt, now a radio operator,
started new gold rush" when he
picked up a lump of jelly-like stuff,
smelled it, and announced that it
was the costly discard of a sick
whale.
Families rushed to the shore. One
more test remained between the
hopeful treasure hunters and the
wealth of which they dreamed. A
report was awaited from a per-
fume manufacturer.
Until that report is made the
finders of a new California ononza"
can not be certain whether they
have found ambergriS or not.
But on the basis of the chemists
report, plans already were made to
spend the new-found wealth.
The family Of Louis Pepper. CWA
worker had enough to pay off the
mortgage on a home and send
daughters to college If the stuff
is ambergriS. Ronald Gandee, "a,
and Frances Longley, 20, planned to
set up housekeeping with the pro-
ceeds of seventeen pounds.
There were two disconsolate fig
ures. Leroy KoWer, coast guards
man, found a five pound lump, then
tossed it to another searcher. His
gesture may cost him 1900.
Arthur Cook, who rents boats,
made money last Sunday by sell
ing small pieces of the stuff to Wis
itors, attracted by the reports of the
new gold rush" Arthur averaged
ST a pound on his sales. On the
basis of the chemists report he
/ lost $4,000.

Worn Tires Involved in
Numerous Auto Accidents
FireStOne Dealer Discusses
Factors of Economy
and Safety.

The chief cause of automobile ac-
cidentS, statistics show, is the ina
bility to stop quickly due to inef-
fective brakes or smooth, thin-worn
tires, asserts E. e. Short, manager
of Firestone Service Stores, Inc,
500 North Delaware street, in dis
cussing precautions car owners
should take.
He continued:
Your brakes will stop the wheels
but your tires must stop your car.
If you ask the average car owner
what starts his car, he will say the
engine But the engine starts the
wheels-and it is the gripping action
of the tires on the road that really
starts the car. More important
from the safety standpoint, is the
fact that, when the brakes are ap-
piled, the tires clinging to the road
stop the car.
The two front wheels are really
steering wheels. Every car must
have three good steering wheels
one in the hand and two on the
road. Failure of any of them is
likely to mean disaster.
The car also needs eight good
brakes-four tires on the road and
four brakes on the wheels. All
eight of these have a direct relation
to stopping the car when the
brakes are applied, and to whether
it will swerve sideways.
Driving on tires until they fail
is the worst kind of false economy.
The last 1000 miles in the average
tire is worth only Al cents at today'S
tire prices. To use this last thou
sand miles is likely to involve much
greater expense and the possibility
of an accident.
THE greatest enemy of tire life is
friction heat within the tire, and to
minimize this was the chief pur-
pose of the gum-dipping process de-
veloped by Firestone engineers. The
tread of a tire is of great impor-
lance to the motorist. 1t is inter
eSting to note that the number of
nonSkid angles in contact with the
road has the most to do with the
amount of gripping action the tire
provides"
