ROBOT EXPLORERS
ARE SENT UP INTO
THE STRATOSPHERE

The secrets of the sky are being
discovered by balloons. These robot
explorers climb ten miles into the
stratosphere from Kew observatory,
where they are launched by Profess
sor Paneth. On reaching the ten
mile limit they burst, and the vacuum
flask. carried by each, opens auto
matically, collects a sample of air,
reseals itself and floats home by par
achute. Self-registering instruments
record the temperature and the max
imum height reached.
Their main object is to discover
what happens to helium, the rare gas
which is set free when radioactive
materials break down into commoner
elements such as lead, process that
takes thousands of years.
The balloons also explore thunder
clouds in order to find out how the
source of atmospheric electricity Is
replenished. Little pilot balloons
calculate the height of clouds. Their
rising speed is constant, and the
number of seconds they take to dis
appear shows. the height of the low
est cloud layer. Twenty-Five miles

Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
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 - in 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.

Ice in the air over the polar regions.
This ice ceiling (congealed atmos-

THE FARMER AND FAITH

One sees ait This time of the year an exhibition
of faith that no other class approaches in bust
ness adventures when you observe the farmer
tilling his soil, planting his crop and going in
debt in such cases as are necessary in order to
finance his way Through another season.
He is dependent upon the elements, upon the
markets. upon various factors to come through
in the end and produce his own bread and meat
and, in addition, enough of other or the same
commodities to take care of his essential ex-
penseS fvariwuS dimensions.
Folks talk about the way farmers complain
Few talk about the way he has to work for
his living, long hCGms, dlreary, unromantic rou-
tine, dull and drab Details and then to pitch his
destiny out upon the threads of faith both in his
fellowman and i'm his fellowman's divinity
And society generally is dependent upon the
farmers labor and his enterprise and his crops
and this faith of his.
American prosperity takes its origin in the
soil. We get nowhere trying to get away from
that simple fact.
Dominantly, this country is rural and domi-
nantly, therefore, it is dependent for it's living
upon the activities of its farmer population.

SPRING CLEANING

May is the month for doing that spring clean
ing around our premises that we have been
planning If we let this month go by, the chances
are tina TIVE will let the summer pass and the
wood pile will still be in the front yard and the
door step will still be falling down, or gate will
still be off its hinges
AS we have said so many times in this col
umn it is not always money that makes an at
tractive home and yard. All the money in the
world would not make yard or house beautiful
if they were unkept and filthy looking. It is
only matter of little extra work for the poor
est home to be clean and neat both inside and
out.
Each year the towns i'm the county have made
it practice to set day apart for all the resi-
dent sof the various communities to hold gen.
eral cleaning up. Trucks are provided to haul
away the trash accumulations of the past year
This creates interest and is usually entered into
in the spirit in w hich it should be. So far, so
cleanup day has been called that we have heard
OF, and we are hoping that the custom is not to
be abandoned.
We, who live in Ashe county, have all the
decorations nature give us free of charge;
it is up to U.S. if we cannot improve on nature,
at least to keep what we have free from filth and
dirt.

Find Substitute for
Morphine, Opium

A drug which works directly on
the mind to relieve pain after sur
gical operations, and which he said
rids surgery completely of the need
for the habit-forming morphine and
opium now commonly used, was re-
ported to the American Psychiatric
association in st. Louis, last week by
Thomas J. Heldt, M. D., of the Henry
Ford hospital, Detroit.
The drug is recently developed
hypnotic. Under the name of '.X,' -
DR.. Heldt said, it was used in 100
major operations. Only he and one
physician knew what it was. Nurses
and patients supposed it was some
thing like morphine.
It's results were compared with
100 other major operations using
and opium. It worked
more effectively to still pain than
the habit-forming drugs.
