new president, on these occasions, to
make some observation on matters of
general interest from the engineers g
standpoint.
1--WE have in this country probably
100, 900 professional engineers. The
events Of the last few years have great.
ly stirred their interest In national
problems. This has taken practical form
In the maintenance Of joint committees
for discussion Of these problems and
support to free advisory bureau In
Washington. The engineers want
nothing for themselves from Congress.
They want efficiency In government.
and you contribute to the maintenance
of this bureau ont Of sheer idealism.
This organization for consideration of
national problems has had many sub
jects before It. and I propose to touch
on some Of them this evening.
Post War Problems
I'VE face a Europe still at war still
amid social revolutions some of Its peo-
pies still Stacking on production mil

of it's civilization Is still hanging by a
slender thread. Every wind that blows

'Out of the strain of war, weaknesses
have become even more evident In onr
administrative organization, In our
legislative machinery. Our federal gov
ernment il still overcentralixed, for We
have upon the hands Of our government
enormous industrial activities which
have yet to be demobillzed. We are
swamped with debt and burdened with
taxation. Credit is woefully inflated
speculation and waste are rampant. Our
own productivity is decreasing. Our in
dastrial population Is crying for RENE
dies to the increasing cost Of living and
aspiring to better conditions Of life and
labor.
Experiments in Socialism
THE war naturalization Of rail
ways and shipping are our two greatest
problems in government control await

fundamental objections to continuation

nation that can grow from governmental
operation. Beyond this, the engineers
will hold that the successful conduct Of
great industries Is to q trnnscendant
degree dependent upon the personal
abilities ard character Of their employees
and staff. On the other hand, our people
have long since recognized that we can I.

Is that of the relationship of employer

Mr.. Hoover said that, while with the
railroads government inefficiency could
be passed on to the consumor, "on the
seas we will sooner or later find Il
translated to the national treasury"
Mr.. Hoover asserted that the country
had until recently greatly neglected the
human factor that Is 80 large an ele.
ment In our productivity" and that this
neglect had accumulated much of the
discomfort and unrest throughout thu
industrial population and had reacted
In decrease of production.
In brief reference to the intcrna-
tioDal situation he declared that the
safety Of European civilization was
changing by a slender thread" and that
America was faced with new oriepta-
ton to world problems.
Opposed to Coolie Labor

spirit was aroused. however. when Sid.
ney J. Jennings, professor of the United
States Smelling. Refining and Mining
Co., advocated the importation OF
Chinese labor to stabilize the coal In :
dustry. It had been tried with success
in South African mines. Mr.. Jennings
said, md the coolie labor afterward had
been repatriated to China.
II am wholly opposed to any i'm.
portation into America Of coolie labor, :"
said Mr.. Hoover. because that would
involve an undesirable admixture OF
races. The Chinese never can be as
simulated by the American people.
What we want here are people who
offer n reasonable prospect that they
ultimately may become Americanizci.
am confident large part of the country
never would acquiesce In the importati tion

HOOVER TELLS WAY

Federal Budget
DOES NOT FEAR RADICALISM

New York, Feb. 1S.--Herbert G.
Hoover last night framed what many
regarded rs the personal platform on
which he might possibly stand for high
ofire IN the United States. He was the
principal speaker at the annual banquet
Of the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers. of which
he was elected president yesterday aft
ernoou.
Not that Hoover injected any pal
rable politics into his address. He
studionsly rcfrained from so doing, and
during the afternoon sessions Of the
institute he refused repeatedly to dis.
euss other than strictly engineering
topics. Questions were put to him about
his political views and possible candi-
dncy for the presidential nomination,
hut these were met with the quick reply
that he had nothing to say on any sub
jtct outside of engineering matters.
Finally he was asked:
DO you think that the action of
President Wilson in bringing about the
resignation of Mr.. Lansing has been
misunderstood by the public?'
n am not in politics." asserted Mr..
Hoover. raising his voice In emphasis.
s'and I positively refuse to say any
thing about political matters"
But there was a twinkle in his eye
despite the austerity of his voice.
In his evening address. delivered as
president of the institute, however, Mr..
Hoover defined his attitude toward
many of the paramount problems of the
lhoment. such as the destiny of the rail-
roads, the future of the American mer-
chant marine, the fuel problem, the
necessity for federal budget. the
growth of radicalism and the relations
between capital and labor.

Stain Your Teeth
And See the Film Which Wrecks Them
All Statements Aao,o4sd BY hleh Dental 4ukhe,fHss

Stain your teeth, as your dentist does,
with an iodine solution. You will see
dark patches, probably. And those are
film. There Is more Aim which you
don't see.
Film is that viscous coat which you
feel with your tongue. 1t clings to teeth,
enters crevices and stays. The tooth
brush does not end it. The ordinary
tooth paste does not dissolve 1t. So much
of it remains and may do a ceaseless
damage.
There lies the cause of most tooth
troubles. That is why so many brushed
teeth discolor and decay. Tooth troubles
are constantly increasing, and the reason
lies in film.

We Apply a Digestant

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the di-
gestant of albumin. The film is albumi-
nous matter. The object of Pepsodent is
to dissolve it, then to day by day COM
bat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. 1t
must be activated, and the usual agent is
an acid harmful to the teeth. But science
has found, after years of research, a
harmless activating method. And now
this efficient film combatant can be every
day applied.

Their Greatest Enemy

Film Is what discolors not the teeth.
It is the basis of tartar. 1t holds food
substance which fernents and forms acid.
It holds the acid In contact with the teeth
to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in 1t. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Thus night and day, while you feel
that teeth are kept clean. that film may be
doing ceaseless, fearful damage.
