Pharmacy Goes Modern
lars worth of vaccines and serums
 have been shipped into Africa from
By HOWARD STEPHENSON Editor of the American Druggist)

lars worth of vaccines and serums have been shipped into Africa from pharmaceutical laboratories of America and Europe, to safeguard soldiers from infection. Pharmacy, the science of preparing medicines, has made almost incredible ad- vanceS.
 Fine autumn days, fifty years ago would see apprentice boys from the drug stores scrambling over country hillsides on herb-gathering expe- dition. The druggist collected his own sassafras, ground up his cin- namon bark, made his own rose wa ter, prepared skin emollient by boil ing out the fat of lambs wool.
 Today the young man behind the prescription counter in the drug store is 8 college graduate, with a state certificate which was granted him only after strict examination al to his scientific. knowledge. Ever common drugs come to the con sumner packaged and sterile, in air tight containers, correctly labeled as to potency by the laboratory where they were processed. No matter how modest or small the registered pharmacy in your neighbofhood, Il is regularly and rigidly inspected by state officials to make sure that its drugs conform to modern scientific standards.
 The apothecary's art, bound up of old with mystery and superstition has gone completely modern. Il has none of the dusty, shabby gen. teel aspect of old legend. The present trend is to make the pres- cription department the heart oi the store, with ware and apparatu: accurate, immaculate and aseptic this same spirit is reflected in oth. CT departments, where everything from cosmetics to ice cream soda! may be vended, all under profes' sional supervision. To the consum. CT, this means simply better healtl protection in a variety of ways Some day the public will demand of all retail stores that they b' clean and well-equipped, adequate ly lighted and conveniently ar ranged for sanitary display 0 merchandise. The pharmacy, whicl has never lost its influence as { community gathering place, is lead ing the parade toward moderniza ton.

CONNECTICUT
(Tercentenary Poem)

Home of beautiful farnsl With harvests of perfection, Pictures of exquisite charms Meet you in each direction. Here finished handskill is arrayed. Handsome, dainty, most adorningl While in thy famous mills dis
 played
 Perfect objects made, and in form-
 ing.
 The history of this state Is like silver lining to a cloud; Clear, noble, powerful to relate Of which her natives can be proud, Her motto, "Qui -Transtulit sust-
 inet"
 Tells us a grand old story. Here, the Nations Honor is well kept. Connecticut's ablaze with gloryl Thy Precautionary. we feel, Is proof of real efficiency; Like hand forged blades of steel, Cleaning with true proficiency. That shows greatest valuation. Great asset to Thy United States" We are filled with elation For the glory that thee awaits. We trust that vile bigotry Finds no haven in this fair place, Nor ignorant, low Jealousy. May thy laws entirely efface, And lessen to smallest degree; Not only crime, but it's taint. Your Justice is fair to see. Thine must be the "Cleanest Paint. Thy newspapers are works Of art. Tn all that's good they have . part We get from them the latest news Styles, pictures, intelligent views. The best in literature and art Tn their annals have Q part, fn everything it's plain to see
 Connecticut tops the highest tree.

| A Book a Day
Here's an Uneven Novel That Is Charming-and Vexing
 pu RRIICE CAPTION

Frederick Wright, painter, has turned novelist, and in "South" he has given us a richly colored nar- rative of life in a small southern city. Whatever the books defects as a novel" it does give a bright panorama of southern life, present. ed with all an artists eye for pie torial effect.
 The story deals with two north- erners who visit a mill town in the Carolinas. The northerners arc painter, who paints portraits of the upper class folk for the fees involved, and of the millhands and Negroes for the pleasure of 1t, and his wife, who drifts rather helpless ly into two love affairs.
 This wife, indeed, Is the books least satisfactory figure. She gets into one love affair by following the line of least resistance, and into a second by picking out the man she wants and going after him; and to this reader, at least, she seems somewhat empty-headed. But the books pictorial effects outweigh this drawback.
 It shows us the mill town, the individual workers, the por-whites and the Negroes, the descendants of the great old families and the new Immigrants" from the north; 1t presents strike riot, 8 funda- mentaiist revival meeting and flood; 1t sketches deftly a picture of a generation which has not yet learned to look to the future rather than to the past; and, all in all, it is very readable monument te the spell which the southland threw over a talented visitor.
 If, as I say, you can forget the | heroine.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
POLITE REQUEST TO MR.. HULL

How time flies! 1t has been just ten years, we
note since we called the attention of Secretary of
State Frank B, kellogg to the fact that 25 states
had rejected the Child Labor Amendment to the
Constitution, and invited him to officially declare
the Amendment dead.
That, Mr. Kellogg did not see fit to do, and We
hardly thought he would But what quantity OF
time and trouble it might have saved. t.. s.,
Ten years later the child labor cranks are still
hopeful though they are still short of ratification
by half the 4S states, let alone the necessary Sc.
The Amendment still hangs around, a discredited
ghost troube-maker approaching scandal
We hesitate to add to the troubles of Secretary
of State Cordell Hull, but we feel constrained to
ask, will not Mr.. Hull do what Mr. Kellogg shirked
and declare the Child Labor Amendment dead for
lack of ratification within a reasonable time?
Dead it is, beyond doubt Even if more states
yielded to the propaganda of the paid agents Of
the child laborites, and turned to Washington
bureaus the control of farm children, we do not
believe the Supreme Court would now uphold such
a ratification. few years for ratification might
be allowed-say seven years to be liberal But
ratification of 1924 Amendment in 1886 or 1887?
We don't believe it would be permitted
We think, therefore, that the farm child is safe,
and that the normal relations of the farm family
will not be disrupted by edicts of Washington bu-
Nevertheless Mr.. Hull, would it not be
well, now to declare that the Child Labor AmenI-
ment not having been ratified by sufficient num-
Der of states is rejected? useful precedent would
thus be established-Farm Journal.

MADE GOOD POLITICAL THUNDER

We made CASUAL survey among the merchants
of Mecklenburg county last fall and found that
nearly every one of them, with the exception Of
those interested in politics and political influence,
preferred the sales tax to any kind of tax system
which North Carolina had used in the past. We
now believe that 90 per cent of the merchants in
Meckenburg county would y6te for retention Of
the sales tax rather than go back to ad valorem
tax which placed the tax burden on few rather
than sthe masses. sales tax is conceded by all to
have been of the most painless methods of col
lecting taxes, though they should have to IN
clude with the price of their meals small amount
for MISUNDERSTANDING Times.

"YOU ALL" SOME MORE
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

81 have read with interest the
letter written to you by Mr.. JOS
eph Cummins, OF Greensboro, Ala
bama, in which he states that all
the negroes and half the whites
in his community use "you all" to
refer to one person.
II have lived in three towns in
Alabama and have Travelled all
over the state, having been in
Greensboro several times. I have
never heard a white person in
that state-or anywhere else for
that matter-use you all" in the
singular, nor have l ever met a
Southern white man who had ever
heard any other white person use
it that way. Ny guess is that Mr..
Cummins was born and reared in
the North.
Il did once hear a negro use
"yOu all" to a white man whose
name he did not know. 1t was OBJ
Viously the use Of the polite plu-
raj, like the French "vous"; and
/ have heard Of one or two other
cases of that sort. But for thirty
years / have been trying in vain
to find a Southern white person
who used the phrase to mean only
one person. If Mr.. Cummins really
has a whole community of them,
he ought to put up a fence and
charge admission"
Since debating the foregoing
dissertation the brilliant idea
struck me to see what the new
edition Of Webster's International
Dictionary has to say about "yOu
ALL" Listen to Webster:
"You all. You-said in address
ing two or more persons or, some
times, one person as representing
also another or others. Colloquial,
Southern U. S. You all and we
all, you-uns and we-uns invariably
refer to more than one indi-
Vidual."
Now then, is that troublesome
question Of "you alp solved and
closed? Can you all" and eve
uns" get together on a common
definition of "you alp? Anyhow
the discussion has helped stimu-
late thought and keep our minds

ADVERTISING

The good will created by advertising is in
tangible asset that is just as valuable to merchant
in Forest City to the manufacturer of any of
the thousands of things that have made fortunes
for their owners because they have been well ad-
vertised.
1t is often hard for merchant in a place the
size of Forest City to realize that advertising has
effect, if all the people in the community
know already that he is in business and that ne
wants them to buy what he has to sell. This fact,
however, does not alter the truth established by
the experience of too many business men, that ad-
vertising, like the truth if stuck to, pays.-Forest
