New York City, is put into operation

$1,000,000 WRIGLEY SIGN
STARTS OPERATION
The new Wrigley Spearmint Gum
Sign on Times Square, New York
City, a million dollar project, largest
of its kind in the world, was formally
dedicated and put into operation re
cently.
The sign occupies the entire block
on broadway from 44th to 45 Street
on the east side of Times Square. The
new sign is a superstructure on the
top of a two-storey steel concrete
building built especially to bear the
tremendous weight of the display.
This world’s largest spectacular tow
ers ten stories high; the Spearman on
the sign has a grin a yard wide. The
package of Wrigley’s Spearmint is
larger than :a box-car.
The sign shows gigantic, multi-col
oured, tropical fish swimming about
the sky; the largest fish measuring 42
feet from tip to tail. The flashing
mechanism consists of twenty-one
pieces of apparatus, all operating in
unison, but no one piece is synchron
ized with another. The electrical cur
rent required for this huge display
would serve a city of ten thousand.
There are 1,084 feet of heon tubing
and almost seventy miles of wire us
ed. The investment on the entire pro
ject is a cool million dollars.
Hundreds of thousands of people
will pass the sign each day; the num
ber who .pass daily through the sub
way at Times Square is estimated to
be almost equal to the population of
Toronto.
OUR FRIEND FEVER
When we are sick, and have a fever
one of our greatest anxieties is to
get the temperature down, nor do we
desist from our efforts until the tem
perature is again normal.
The result .is that a great many
people have the idea that fever in it
self is something to be combatted,
to be brought under control at all
costs. This is a wrong impression.
Actually fever represents some
thing for which we should be thank
ful. Were it not for what causes fev
er more infections would have fatal
results. Why?
When the human body is invaded
by some infective 'organism, Nature
calls out its defensive forces — the
mjlitia, naval and air forces of the
body. Germ devouring blood cells
swarm to the point of invasion; their
bodies and the debris of battle form
pus. The infected area gets red and
swollen from the conflict and the con
gestion of blood cells. Hidden defens
ive units in the body are brought-into
action; these are called immune bod
ies, agglutinins, opsonins, etc. De

ce.”
It is the intensity of this battle ag
ainst the microscopic invaders which
creates the fever. If there is a tre
mendous fight and Nature puts up a
strong resistance, there will likely be
a high fever, the outcome depending
upon the opposing strengths. On the
other hand if the invaders find little
resistance and can piake rapid pro
gress there will be little conflict
(hence little fever) and the outcome
may not be so good.
Thus in certain diseases the doctor
likes to see a reasonably high fever;
he then knows that the body is alert
and fully prepared to meet the em
ergency.
Of course a low fever may mean
only a mild infection; the body may
only have to repel a scouting party,
as it were. Also some diseases, even
although of an infective nature, are
not characterized by high fever. The
experienced doctor knows how to
evaluate these factors.
If a fever becomes too high and
the patient wildly delirious, the doc
tor and nurse do try to reduce the
temperature, for the patient would
feel better and would be able to get
more rest. But the doctor, otherwise,
welcomes the lowering of the tem
perature, not because he fears fever,
but because he realizes that the drop
usually signifies that the invasion has
been overcome and the defense forces
are being recalled.
