High Blood Pressure Cure:
Relaxation and No Worry

| that Is the treatment for high blood
pressure. Charles Lamb enjoyed it,
But then he was a genius, and he
didn't give up tobacco.
There are other people who have
been cheerful about it. Do you re-
member the introduction to A. Ed
ward Newton's delightful book of lit
erary essays, "A Magnificent Farce?
I'm the midst of renewing old asso-
cations" he wrote, II discovered I
was not in very robust health. This
Is not my discovery. I paid physi-
clan handsome fee for making II.
His advice was Go slow. You have
been pelting along for 40 years; it's
tlme to relax. Let someone else do
your work. How about smoking he
continued. how many cigars?'
ITO this I replied: Doctor, there
are some things too sacred for words,
and there are some things men do
not even tell their wives. But, in
point Of fact, I have always smoked
in moderation; never more than one
cigar at a time; three after break
fast. four after lunch
That will do. We will omit the
cigars after breakfast entirely--your
limit will be one after lunch and one
after dinner. Take up reading.
Didn't someone tell me you had writ
ten book? Write another one. and
then go to Europe, where the criti-
cisms of it will not annoy you. My
prophecy is that you will live to be
a disagreeable old man.
Il sat back. Let someone else do
your work What music was in
these words! Write book What
fun! Go to Europe More fun!

Chevrolet Dealers Set
New Three Months Record

Chevrolet dealers rounded out the
greatest three months in the history
Of the Chevrolet Motor Company by
delivering 1886 new cars and
trucks in May, W. E. Holler, vice
president and general sales manager,
announced today. May sales were the
highest on record, exceeding those for
the highest previous May, that of
1928, by 1879 units.
The company's sales in April es-
tablished new all-time high for any
month of any year, and the totals for
March and for May approached that
high point so closely as to concen-
trate within the past 80 days all
three of Chevrolet's biggest months.
Total sales for that period were $780,
$50 units, bringing the total for the
year to date, from Jan /, to 535,634.
May used car sales by Chevrolet
dealers set an all-tme high of $780,
223 units, Mr.. Holler announced, re-
sulting in substantial decline in the
stocks on hand, and contributing to
the outlook for heavy new unit
volume in June.
