NEW SIGNS have been erected in front of the Queen City Pharmacy. They stress the Rexal products
which it handles. Workmen blocked traffic some time while the signs were being hoisted into posi-
tion.
Symplons Similar But Alcohol
Only Will Register In Tests
Many things can make a man
appear intoxicated, according to
the Texas Safety Association, but
only alcohol will register in a
test for intoxication.
Thanks to several scientific de-
vices and methods used today by
many poli ce, the truth comes out.
So instead of sitting in a police
drunk tank overnight, a sick per-
son can be rushed to a doctor for
much-needed treatment of illness

or accident- caused injuries and
shock.
This type of incident occurs
many times a year. In report to
TSA headquarters, Austin, Donald
C. Lhotka, secretary of the Na-
tional Safety Council's Commit-
tee on Tests for Intoxication, says
"Chemical tegts of blood, urine
or breath, " he said, "not only
save many drivers the embarrass
ment of arrest, but also save
lives.
"The tests provide police with
information that can enable them
to detect when a suspected drunk
driver is not under the influence
of alcohol. That naturally leads
them to suspect an injury, or that
the arrested person actually is ilL "
The tests for intoxication, Ihot-
pointed out, are not compulsory.
Thirty states now have chemical
test laws.
"Chemical tests for intoxica-
tion, " siad Lhotka, "are one of
the most effective means of cop-
ing with the problem of drinking
and driving. The tests certainly
are fair when administered prop-
erly.
"Chemical tests in themselves, "
he explained, "do not tell how
many drinks a man has had. They
merely indicate the amount of al-
cohol in his blood. The level at
which a man is presumed to be
under the influence of alcohol is
prescribed by law.
"Information on the blood al-
cohol content, coupled with the
physical signs of the driver's con-
dition, helps determine if he is
unfit to drive a car, "__

Like some newspaper columns,
newspaper advertising can be
copyrighted.
In 1903 Justice Oliver W. Holmes
declared that advertisements could
be owned and copyrighted even
without having any special liter-
ary or artistic merit.
An author^ business, or agency
that puts work and skill into an
ad can protect it as a rule with a
"general notice of copy right. "
One publisher made special road
maps for an advertiser, and got
them copyrighted; the court held
that the advertiser couldn't sell
these maps to a rival publisher.
hi another case a clever picture
ran in one ad. The court told a
competitor he couldn't use the
same picture for his ad.
You cannot copyright same things
such as a list of names publicly
available or an ad so common it
lacks uniqueness.
Most ads are "owned" by the ad-
vertiser, not the newspaper or mag-
azine.
Ads which are run to get business
may also create property right in
a "trade name" of great values
to a business even without a copy-
right.
Besides, a business or product
name itself may often be copy-
righted. Now and then, unfortun-
ately, a company name may be-
come so well known that without
proper protection it can lapse into
the common language and lose its
character as property.
Trying to gain from someone
else's ads may well get you in
trouble.
It can be a crime for anyone to
violate a copyright on purpose,
and he may have to pay money
damages covering all his profits.
And then some.
False or misleading ads can cause
loss or suspension of certain business
licenses; the post office sometimes
gets rough if someone uses the
mail to advertise fraudulently.
Of course ads aim to brag about
one'§ product — a fact well known
to the public. Therefore, within
limits, some "puffing" is allowed.
But the Federal Trade Commission
often stops advertisements if they
