CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE IS REPORTED
AS PROGRESSING

Progress is reported from the
christmas Seal Headquarters of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association as
the preliminary work draws to a close
throughout the counties of the state:
and everything is in readiness for
Thanksgiving, the day upon which the
seals will be released to the public.
For several months busy staff has
been preparing the seals for mailing,
folding the letters and addressing the
envelopes in anticipation of success
ful campaign. In many of the coun-
ties where the work is being done
there are also most favorable reports.
1T is hoped, said William B. Mat
thews, Managing Director of the Mary
land tuberculosis Association, that
the enthusiastic spirit that has been
shown by the various county chairmen
and other volunteers will be reflected
IN the number of purchases of the
christmas Seals. It is expected that
the lifting clouds of depression will
make 1T possible for many to help who
We're unable to before, and enable the
tuberculosis associations to augment
their work."
thirty years ago today the death
rate from tuberculosis in this State
was most appalling, Mr.. Matthews con

that the rate has been reduced nearly
two-thirds. This year, in the United

VARIOUS VIEWS
By Arthur Van Define
QUALIFIED

The prize is not always conferred
on the swift or the strong, but usual
ly goes to those best qualified to re-
ceive it. Four young men some years
ago secured positions in a factory.
They were ambitious, intelligent and
industrious, except one, 1--WE shall call
him Jimmie) who showed signs of
laziness, spirit of Indifference, and
his countenance expressed lack of in
terest seemingly for everything, be-
sides this, he was seldom at work on
schedule time. Alert and active, the
other workmen were usually at the
factory several minutes before the
whistle blew, and started their daily
routine promptly at seven.
Three months passed while the
three young men continued doing their
best, but Jimmie never showed anv
signs of improvement. Often the boss
would come around during working
hours to ask, "Where's Jimmie?" No
body seemed to know. The truth was,
Jimmie at these intervals, was usually
outside smoking cigarettes.
One day the manager said, "Come
with me Jimmie" and turned to leave.
Jimmie followed him without a word.
He was being fired! That is what
they thought! They expressed their
conclusion orally, but the next morn
ing Jimmie met them at the factory
entrance. Were the boys surprised
to see him? They sure were! Es-
pecially to learn of his promotion: he
was operating a machine now. His
wages had been raised also.
Two weeks later they were surpris-

them, was now completed. you're

we'll call you when something turns

said, your services are no longer re-
quired.
They sought employment elsewhere,
and wondered why the most uninter-
esting and Indifferent one was Sc
lected for the permanent job. Time
elapsed; they reached a solution to
the problem. Jimmie was the best
qualified man among them for that
specific position, because he had no

NOVEL PROMOTION
CAMPAIGN OF
SUNOCO COMPANY

Advertising and merchandising au-
thorities in all parts of the country
were focusing their attention upon
the new and novel promotion cam
paign just announced by the Sun Oil
Company, manufacturers of Blue
Sunoco Motor Fuel.
In this interesting and convincing
demonstration, the Sun Oil Company
bred motorists without even one of
them being suspicious of the fact that
he was being converted into testing
laboratory for Blue Sunoco.
In this test, according to M. H.
Lester, sales and advertising director
for the Sunoco organization, every de-
tail was handled by the Ross-Federal
Research Corporation, an entirely in
dependent fact-finding organization
which conducted the experiments in
fourteen widely separated cities and
towns.
''In each city" Mr.. Lester explain
ed, "a crew of Ross-Federal investi-
gators solicited the help of approx
mately one hundred average motorists
in testing mystery gasoline. Those
who agreed were asked to drive to a
designated point where all the gaso-
line which was in their cars was drain
ed out, and ten free gallons of the
mystery gasoline substituted. After
that each driver was asked to COM
pare the unknown gasoline with the
fuel he had been using.
"Of course, this mystery gasoline
was Blue Sunoco-but to make iden-
LITIGATION impossible, we had omitted
the blue. In every other way, how
ever, the gasoline was regular Blue
Sunoco and an independent testing
laboratory certified to this fact after
testing samples of the gasoline as it
was shipped by Ross-Federal people
to the various points where the tests
were conducted.
CATER each motorist had been al
lowed three or four days to test the
unknown motor fuel, an investigator
called upon the motorist and obtained
his unbiased opinion. When this data
had been assembled we were amazed
to learn that Blue Sunoco had been
compared to no less than fifty-four
other gasolines, and that ninety-five
out of every hundred motorists agreed
that Blue Sunoco had improved the
performance of their cars. Eighty
seven percent said that it gave them
quicker starting than the gasoline
they had been using.
Frankly, we know Of no more con-
vincing evidence of the outstanding
quality of our one and only motor fuel
than this test which was conducted by
an independent research corporation,
made by average motorists and wholly
uninfluenced by us!"

to Champion Vincent Lopez Lo-

State Athletic commission has IS
sued an ultimatum demanding
that Lopez meet Calza in the near
future or forfeit his title.
Calza has beaten solae OF the
best wrestlers in the country and
is one of the cleverest matmen
in the game. On the other hand
Count Varga employs rough tao
tics to win his matches. He IS
equally as rough as the Black
Knight and has a long record
behind him.
Charley Santen who made such
a hit here last week with a victory
over Monahan employs the flying
dropkick and has dropped many
opponents by this method OF at

His opponent in this match
Chris Cclumbo, plans to counter
act the flying dropklck by rough

BY HENRY McLEMORE

ately with the garden cutting oown
the middle on the Max Schmeling-
Joe Louis fight which Jacobs has
scheduled for June in New York.
Critics are of the opinion that this
fight will draw better than 81 OO0,-
900.
Jacobs refusal, we learned, was
met with a flat statement by the
garden that it would never allow
Champion Jim Braddock, which it
has under contract, to fight Jacobs
man, Joe Louis, for the title. Jacobs,
it is understood, countered this
threat with a set of figures which
showed that Louis was a greater
profit-maker as o challenger than
as a champion.
IN his five fights under Jacobs,
Louis has drawn more than ST 500
900. If the fight with Schmeling
draws a million the Negro boy will
have pulled $2,500,000 in the box
offive in less than year. For it
was only last June that Louis met
Camera in the first of those five
fights for Jacobs.
Jacobs, we learned, pointed out to
the garden heads, that if Louis won
the title he'd probably follow the
example set by his predecessors and
fight but once a year AS a chal-
lenger ne has fought five times, and
could have done $500,000 more IN
business had he chosen to accept all
engagements.
The garden offer to Jacobs prom
ised him an unlimited bankroll and
absolute charge over boxing. He is
supposed to have answered this by
saying he already had enough bank
roll to corner the fistic market, anG
would rather continue his lone wolf
ways.
