Well : Being to Unknown
Preparations

before you take any prepara-
- ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it i comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without i'll effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discovered for the relief
of headaches and all common pains
-. and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store - simply by never
asking for it by the name aspirin
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

Turning Back Point Is
the Measure Of Success

On every hand we see people who
have turned back, people who had
pluck enough to begin things with
enthusiasm, but did not have grit
enough to carry them to a finish. The
point at which you are tempted to
turn back, the point when your grit
leaves you, will measure your achieve
ment power. Your ability to go on.
to continue after everybody else has
turned back, is good measure Of
your possible success.

ECONOMIC RICHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tiOnal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

Two elements must be con-
sidered in apprais;ng Industrial
recovery: The first is output
how much more of an appetite for
goods and services has the public
developed, and is it able to pay
for? The second is earnings =
after all the expenses of carrying
on operations are paid, what is
left for the owners OF industry?
During the early stages of the
recovery movement, Improvement
was largely confined to output.
Many important industries were
selling much more, but were earn
ing little more. During the re-
cent stage, with the recovery
movement we'll advanced, earnings
are becoming better reflectors of
production and sales. However,
as even a cursory survey of cor
poration reports will show. indus
trial arrangements are far from
satisfied that earnings are as SUBJ
stantial as they should be, in the
light of production.
An accurate and inclusive sur
vey of earnings record has been
made by the staff OF Business
Week and appears in a late issue
of that publication. The tabula-
ton compares 1885 with 1884 ex-
perience, and includes LABS COM
panies, which should certainly
give an excellent cross-section OF
all industry. Interesting and sig
nificant fact is that principal ina
provement has occurred in the
capital goods field, which took the
worst beating during depression.
Machinery industry's earnings,
for example, were 1921 per cent
better in '35 than in "a; cleo
trical equipment went ahead 251.9
per cent steel and iron went from
a $4,000, 900 deficit into a $49,-
100000 profit.
As anyone could guess, motors
and related industries Jared much
better. Automobile earnings rose
1855 per cent; automobile ac-
cessories, 1888 per cent; oil,
1861 per cent.
/ Smallest increases tended to be
confined to the consumer goods
field. Drugs and toilet articles,
for instance, earned but g per
/ cent more; foods, 4.6 per cent

TAKEN AWAY SUNDAY OVER
HIGHWAY IN CUSTODY OF
SHERIFF THOMPSON

Sheriff X. o. Thompson left
Sunday over the highway having
in his custody BERTHE Disdel, to be
placed in the county Jail at Dade
county to await the arrival of the
prison conveyance to take the
prisoner to Raiford where he is to
serve sentence.
Disdel was arrested April 10
after a long chase by officers of
the police department, and ac-
knowledged his inception of COM
hitting a misdemeanor. Arrested
with him was Elizerto Quesada, a
minor.
Charges of entering without
breaking with intent to commit a
misdemeanor were filed by Coun-
ty Solicitor Allan b. Cleare, Jr.,
and on April ID, at a special re-
cessed sessio2 of criminal court,
both boys pleaded guilty.
Disdel was sentenced to serve
three years at hard labor in the
state penitentiary at Raiiord.
Quesada was given a suspended
sentenceand released in the GUS
tody of his father with an admoni-
ton from the bench that any fu-
ture transgression would mean the
same sentence given Disdel.
