Medical Expert Gives Sci
entific View of So-Called
Patent Medicines

Dr.. Arthur J. Cramp, head of
the department of investigation
of the American Medical associa-
ton, told the Kiwanis club here
Yesterday that manufacturers OF
most so-called patent medicines
do not have a patent on them,
but merely a trade mark on the
name. and that even if they could
obtain patents they wouldn't want
to because such action would
compel them to make public the
ingredients.
Testimonials of the "wondertul
cures" affected by many proprie-
tary medicines are written in all
sincerity "by persons who are
incompetent to testify by the fact
that in so or IS uer cent of the
cases they would have regained
their health with or without TAX
ing the medicine, and that they
did not have the disease for which
the medicine was recommended,
DR.. Cramp said.

gram chairman and introduced

ident of Brightwaters.

DOGS NEED LOTS OF
WATER ON HOT DAYS

LORAIN, O., July %. (uP)-
A woman who has spent Il years
in handling dogs, gives this advice
for making pets comfortable dur
ing the hot summer:
/. Comb and brush frequently.
2. Use plenty of flea powder.
3. Allow the dog to sleep in the
basement or other cool spot.
4. Give it plenty Of water, but
limit it's food rations.
Mrs. Rosamond Stencil, secre-
tary of the Lorain Country Ken
mel club and a veteran of canine
PROBLEMS. says the combing and
brushing is the most important
rule. Excessive bathing, she says,
dries the hair and destroys the
natural protection.

HOLLYWOOD
FILM SHOP

HOLLYWOOD, July %. (UP)
Richard Wallace is a peaceful
man, at least as far as comedy is
concerned.
He probably would return the
punch if someone hit him on the
Jaw, but he isn't returning the
punch in any comedies he directs
for punching does not exist for
him in comedy.
Director Wallace feels that Hol-
lywood has gone "slug nutty" IN
the iargon of the squared ring.
Too many punches have made
Hollywood comedies goofy and
they are punching at the air in
stead of registering boxoffice hits;
"The idea has taken root
SAYS Wallace, that unless it is
dizzy, daffy and punehy it isn't
comedy. Somebody has to hit
somebody else, many picture
producers believe, before the
audience will laugh" ,
Wallace believes a rest period
is in sight which will not only
restore comedy to its normal pace,
but will provide relief to audi
ences, which fast were becoming
as "punch drunk" as the actors IN
the smuggling type of comedies.
Asked for his vie won how COM
edy should be made, Wallace said ::
when you see something you
know could have happened to you,
it is more interesting than II IT
happens to characters too crazy
to be true. Comedy, even more
than serious drama, should be true
to life to be funny. Any other
type of comedy is merely pass
ing fad"
Wallace currently is working on
"The Young in Heart" a Sell
nick comedy of the
type he thinks will set the trend
back to natural comedy. 1t is the
story of an English family that
lives by it's wits. The family is
composed of Janet Gaynor, Doug
las Fairbanks, Jr., Paulette God
dard and Roland Young.

1T is hardly possible to think
that the ambassador considers
such threats a good diplomatic
measure" Litvinov said. Some
governments, indeed, give in to
such threats but the Japanese am
bassador must understand that he

Litvinov said thae the maps used

tention that Changkufeng is IN

Japanese demand for the recall OF
Soviet troops is not supported by
documents establishing the from

Shigemitsu's sharp warning FOL
lowed Litvinov's blunt refusal to
withdraw Russian forces from the
Changkufeng area.
"The movement Of Soviet troops
is regulated by Soviet authorities
and the interference Of other gov
ernements cannot be permitted,
Litvinov said. "The Soviet troops
in this region (Changkufeng)

maintenance of the status quo.

GATHERING IS
BIG SUCCESS
Boys Show Training For
Future Leadership in
Varied Ways
By J. F. CORBIN
Hendersonvillc High School
Agricultural Teacher

The Henderson Pennsylvania
group of agriculture teachers, to-
gether with two delegates each
from their local chapters. attend
ed the State convention of Future
Farmers of America held in RAJ
leigh.
About 1000 Young Tar Heel
Farmers assembled in Pullen Hall
on State College campus and at
the blow of the gavel were called
to order by their state student
president.
The hall presented a beautiful
setting with a teacher and Two
boys from each vocational agri-
cultural department Of the state
sitting together, wearing Future
Farmers caps and badges, and a
marker showing the name OF their
school and their home county.
The first number on the pro-
gram was music by 40-piece
string orchestra, made up Of Flu
ture Farmer boys from different
parts of the state. These boys
throughout the three-day session
broke the monotony of the bust
ness activities.
One of the outstanding features
of the convention was the public
speaking contest. These confess
ants had won over their fellow
students in their local schools, and
in their district contests, making
them eligible for the state contest.
The winner at Raleigh goes to
the southern regional contest at
New Orleans, from which a win
ner is selected for the national
contest held at Kansas City in
October. Senator Capper gives
$4OO to the national winner. The
speeches were the best | have
heard students make and showed
real oratorical ability in prepare
ton for legislative halls from the
farm.
Livestock judging was another
contest feature of the convention
which was won by the western
part of the state. Each afternoon
was devoted to educational tours
of the capital city and recreation.
The F. F. A. boys were address
ed by Gov. Clyde Hocy and Dean
HARRISON of State college. No
person attending this three-day
session of young men in their
teens would for one moment
doubt the seriousness. industry,
and ideals of our present day
youth.

FRANCE BEGINS
TO SEEK GOLD
IN COLONIES
Wide Prospecting Activity
in Possessions Are
Financed
BY HUGO SPECK
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, July %. (UP)-Francc
is going to make d great effort to
become one of the worlds gold
producing countries.
By a decree 200,000,000 francs
Approximately $3,0O0,000D has
been set aside for prospecting the
mineral resources of the French
colonies and To improve the gold
producing methods now in use
where the precious metal is TO be
found.
Although France is by no means
one of the leading gold producing
countricS-it is not among the
first II producing countries and
the total production in 1888 only
amounted to seven tons. it is hop
ed that with the funds now avail
able this amount can be dOLs,lcd
or even triplcd in the shortest
possible time.
French West African possessions
now produce the largest amount
of gold for France and its colon
les, with the annual output
amounting to almost three and IA
half tons: two and half come
from Guinea while Madagascar
and French Equatorial Africa fur
nish around three-QuarterS of
ton yearly. Only about 600
pounds are mined in Indo-China.
The first real tangible effort to
increase the countly's gold pro-
duction was made in 1884 when a
movement was started to set up
the output. In 1887 a project al
lowing Guinea a credit of 60.000,-
600 francs was framed but never
passed and early this year a Co.
lOnlal Bine bureau was set up.
It's duty was to aid in prospecting
while its expenses were to be
paid from tax on the metal
mined. A portion of the present
1OO,000,000 francs will be turned
over to this bureau, while the re-
mainder will be used to improve
methods now used to mine the
metal.
According to the terms of the
decree law winch provides the
funds the money is destined to:
Finance explorations and pros
pecting; intensity the exploiting
of different strata; carry out the
work necessary to exploit the
zones already prospected such as
constructed roads, etc, and where
necessary make sanitary improve
ments; improve housing condi-
tons and assure that the workers
are protected from the many trop-
ical diseases to which they are ex-
posed.
All of this will be under the d.
rect supervision Of the minister
Of colonies who will be assisted by
