plications for parole.
She was released before her five
years were up, but the prison rec-
ords unfortunately do not show
whether she and her musician lov-

Rogers, an arrogant murderer
who professed to be a graduate of
Oxford University, was one of the
coolest figures of the old West.
His dress was impeccable, but no
one dared accuse the quick-shoot-
ing Rogers of being a dandy.
Rogers' reputation as a musician
was as • great as his prowess in
handling a six-gun Once while he
was in the old jail, one of Yuma's
leading citizens asked him to play
at a reception at his home. The
warden consented, but Rogers
would not appear at the gathering j
until he and his two guard es-
corts were provided .with dress

Not Patient of 4,000 Lost
After Treatment By
Alabama A|an
BIRMINGHAM. Ala. <U.R>— Dr.
Tom Spies, who began a campaign
to control pellagra after his moth-
er died of the disease when he was
a child, reported today he had
treated more than 4,000 cases in
five years without losing a patient.
Dr. Spies studied medicine at
the University of Cincinnati, but it
was in the South where he found
the natural laboratory for his,
work in the meat, meal and mt>
lasses belt of Alabama, where pel
lagra '-aged unchecked among pool
people.
Five >oars ago Dr. Spies obtain-
ed leave of pbsencc from the Cin-
cinnati school and went to work
at I lillman hospital here with mo-
ney supplied by various health
foundations.
He began experimenting with
nicotinic acid, which a German sci-
entist iiad developed in 1867 from
nicotine. « deadly poison. First he
injected the acid ihto his own body,
preferring to risk his own life ra-
ther than those of actual pellagra
sufferers.
When he suffered no ill effects
from the injections, he began treat-
ing the men, women and children
who flocked to the hospital seek-
ing relief from the disease which
had sapped their vitality.
Among the 4,000 cases treated
in the last five years. Dr. Spies
said, were many advanced one?
who seemed to improve" almost
miraculously." Many who had been
confined to asylums with insan-
ity resulting from late stages or
the disease were able to return to
their families.
With his anti-pellagra work fat
advanced. Dr. Spies is branching
into other fields of medical re-
search.
Preliminary studies have led
him to believe that pyorrhea, fore-
runner of tooth decay, may be due
to some form of diet deficiency.
He predicts that the time is not
far away when bakers and othet
food manufacturers will place vita-
mins and nicotinic acid extract in-
to basic foods to forestall such
maladies as pellagra, scurvy and
pyorrhea.
Eye In jured In
Corncob Fight May
Check Career
PARIS <U.R> An eye injury suf-
fered in u "corncob fight" when
he was a youth mi.-y prevent the
army from getting Jack Wilson,
Baylor university football star.
Wilson demonstrated during
spring practice, however, that he
till can handle a pigskin, ana
Baylor lans expect to'see a lot oi
him this ."all.
Relatives said Wilson was seven
years old when a flying uftncob
struck him in the left eye during
an engagement with neighborhood
children. /
The sight of that eye subse-
quently was impaired. When the
Paris youth went before a draft
board at Wtico recently, he was
declared "otherwise physically
perfect."
He indicated this in the springs
last football scrimmage, plunging
for four touchdowns and passing
ror two more.
Draft officials said he may Ik-
given a 1-E ciassiifcation whirl;

sical condition. "Light perception'
in the defective eye was said tt
be inadequate.
Wilson boasts an unusual ath
letic record. He was a leading
score for Paris high school and
Paris Junior College football
teams. He ulso was an outstanding
trackman i n Junior College,
smashing several conference ret-
ards.

ics as the "All-American Hope'

More Dimes per Dollar
IT ccrtainly would be a grand thing
these days if you could count on
every dollar doing its share as com-
pletely as the dollars that buy gasoline
for the trim new 1941 Buicks.
For in any of these magnificent cars
you can have Compound Carburction,f
whieh adds as much us an extra ten or
fifteen cents to the buying power of
each gasoline dollar.
It works like this:
With FlREBAL\nr1esign and Compound
Carburetion, the same-size Buick en-
gines now give from 18 to 24 more
horsepower than last year.
We expend that horsepower through
rear-axle gears that travel you farther
for each revolution of the engine.
At the same time, the rate of fuel is fed
to your engine according to need-in
light loads only one carburetor func-
tions, when plenty-power is wanted the
other also comes in.
Thus, all the time, your engine is oper-
ating on the most cfficicnt fuel supply
tor the job in hand, while your speeding
rear wheels are stretching the miles
out behind you.
So if you'd like
an extra dime or
inore from each
gasoline dollar,
why not ask a
Buick dealer how
