Inventor OF
Popeye Dies;
Work Goes On

Santa Monica, CAL, Oct. 14.-(AP)
e. G. Segar, the house-painter, who
became a cartoonist by taking a $40
mail order course, left in death today
a $1,OOd,O0O legacy of comic char
acters to amuse the world. The crea-
tor of s'Thimble Theatre" a quaint
comic strip printed daily by more
than 500 newspapers, and "Popeye
the Sailor" a movie cartoon with
fans around the globe, died at his
home here last night after long ill
ness.
Since last January his condition
had been so serious that he did little
actual drawing. Recently, Segar un-
derwent an operation for removal of
the spleen. King Features announced
today in New York that sThimble
Theatre" would be continued as a
daily strip, just as '"The Gumps'' lived
ed on after the death of Sidney
Smith, the cartoon family's creator
in 1885.

Threads of Life

It's odd. A man thinks his own
will guides his own life. But the
world is full Of human lives; a man
is bound to blunder into some Of
them, weave his own with them In
dissolubly, or touch and drift away
and touch again, or narrowly miss
touching and maybe never know.
The pattern is on the loom. And
sometimes, looking back, you see
part Of it. A thread weaves in and
out and disappears; it is not broken
but still weaving somewhere. Is it
incidence when it appears again?
Unknown or unconscious forces.

Of glare, the eyes too can be "sun-
burned" Protect them with the
dark-colored glasses which are so
much in vogue this year. If you
don't, you will find yourself frown-
Ing at your companions with tired
blood-shot eyes at the end Of the
day.
But suppose the burn gets you af-
ter all. You have one Of the best
remedies right in your own home.
Vinegar is an excellent antidote for
sunburn. Spread it on gently over
the burned surface. You can feel
its cooling effect as you apply 1t.
Use 1t as soon as you come out of
the sun If you fear you have been
oVer-exposed.
Continued exposure to the sun,
even though you are careful not to
get badly burned, will darken the
color of the skin. The surest and
quickest remedy for this is bleach
Ing. A good bleach, used regularly
over a period Of time, will have a
noticeable effect. Beaches, how
ever, are likely to have drying
effect, so follow them up with an ap-
plication of cream. You can't avoid

side.

1. You look to this paper, and
papers like it, for fair sympathetic
news about you and yours.
2. You prefer to spend your
money where it buys both goods
and considerable treatment.
8. ALI newspapers depend upon
the advertising of merchants for
the larger part of their income.
4. The smart thing to do is to
spend your money with the mer-
chant who, by advertising in the
paper that helps you, makes clear
that he wants your trade. You
help yourself and help your paper
too when you do that.

keeping you together, as well as

H. p: Will bad luck continue to
follow us or will things get better?
Should my husband quit his job
and start truck farming?
Ans: Your trouble is not nearly
so much bad luck as it is mental
dissatisfaction. If you are able to
make the change without depriving
yourselves too much, it would be
advisable to do so. However, make
the change at the right season so
that your income will not be shut
off for too long time.
L. A.: Does my husband love me
or is it worry that causes him to
seem so Indifferent?
Ans: AS you must already know,
your husband loves you dearly. 1t
is only that business conditions
have not been any too good with
him of late, that is causing him to
feel respondent. Try to cheer him
up a bit by letting him know that
you are pulling for him. His old
affectiOnate nature will return very
soon.
L. M. b.: What does A. w. in
tend to do about the baby that is
due to arrive soon?
Ans: He will do exactly nothing
without a little prompting on the
part of someone. Go to his fam
lily in an humble, decent way, and
ask their help. If you use tact and
make the proper approach they will
be inclined to help you. Do not be-
come hysterical or make any
threats on your first visit. If
threats are necessary, threaten him,
not his family.

The Useful Bat

Bats frequently invade attics Of
houses. Although undesirable in
houses, these creatures are really
beneficial as they eat many de-
structive insects. They are noe
turnal in habit, hiding during the
day in secluded places. The first
thing to control them is to find any
opening by which they may be en-
tering the house; and to close this
up with either boards or wire net
ting. Recent experiments have in
Dictated that bats do not like
the fumes Of naphtholene. It is
suggested therefore that from to S
pounds Of naptholene fakes be scat
tered in the attic. II this remedy is
tried, it should be carried out before
the openings are closed up.

So many Of US have the idea that.
if little sun Is good for our health
and vitality, a great deal will be
even more beneficial. This is. of
course, a mistaken notion as you
are bound to learn from painful ex-
perience.
Now that the swimming season
is here and many Of US spend all the
time we can spare at the beaches,
we must take definite precautions
against sunburn. Sunburn Is a very
real burn, and, just as we would
not put our hands against a hot
stove, neither should we expose
tender.skin to the sun for more than
a few minutes at. time until we
have become accustomed to its rays.
Spread a protective cream over
the skin before exposing it to old
Sol for any length Of time. Even
better, If you don't mind the shine,
use olive oil. Cover. your face, arms,
shoulders, back and legs. If you
stay out long enough for that to dry,
repeat the application. Summer sun
is very harmful to the skin. It dries
out the natural oils and leaves it
rough and peeling. You've seen peo-
pie who have acquired a weather
beaten, leathery look from too much
exposure to the sun. Once the nat
ural oils are gone, the skin starts
wrinkling. Dry skin wrinkles more
readily than oily skin, even when
not exposed to the suns drying eff
fects. In summer we must take spe-
cial pains to ward off lines and
crows feet even though the appli-
cation Of creams and oils is more
trial in summer than during the
cooler months. Then, too, we are
likely to have deeper squirt lines
from the glare of the sun, especially
the glare of sun on water.

'Oslethorpe Trail Dates
Back Before Revolution

The old Indian trail and highway
known as the "Oglethorpe Trail"
dates back to pre-Revolutionary
war days when General Oglethorpe,
founder Of the state of Georgia, es-
tablished a thoroughfare from Sa-
vannah to Augusta In 1879, following
his famous treaty conference with
the Creek Indians at Coweta.
The British designated the trail in
1880 as a military road, and in 1871
President George Washington trav-
eled the road during his southern
tour.
Rich in scenic sites which pass
through deep, jungle-like river
swamps Astounding with game and
fish, the trail also winds through
rolling hill territory and along the
banks Of the Savannah river.
