A far better Wav to clean teeth
A far better way to clean teeth

That is why, under old-time methods,
few escaped tooth troubles.
New ways discovered
Dental science, after long research,
found two ways to fight film. One acts
to curdle film, one to remove it, and
without any harmful securing.
Able authorities proved those meth
DDS effective by many careful tests.
Then new-type tooth paste was Gre
ated, based on modern research, and
those two film destroyers were en-
bodied in it.
That tooth paste is called Pepsodent.
To people all about you it is daily
bringing results you would enjoy.
Just opposite effects
Old methods brought in some ways
just opposite effects.
They reduced the allxalinity of the
saliva. That is there to neutralize
mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay.

Parental COURT
GETS OPEN HEARING

In executive session this morning
the subcommittee Of the House Dis
trict committee which has been con-
Quoting hearings on the Free bill to
establish a parental court in the Dis
trict, with Representative Walters OF
Pennsylvania presiding. decided to
hold an open hearing Monday at 10
o'clock. when agents of the board Of
children's guardians will be request
ed to bring records.
The records, reQuisitioned by the
subcommittee, are TO show how many
mothers have been denied access to
their children and how many did not
know where their children are located.
This action is entirely friendly to
the board of children's guardians,
representatives of which organiza-
tion have been reluctant to testify
regarding the reasons why the chill
dren were taken and kept from these
mothers. But In view OF the fact that
those who have brought the mothers
into the hearings have opened up
variety Of questions. members of the
subcommittee felt that it was only
fair that the board OF children's
guardians should be allowed to bring
in their records.
Urges Commission TO study Work.
Mrs. Walter s. Cford. a member Of
the board of childrens guardians,
urged upon the subcommittee today
the appointment of commission to
study child welfare work and laws
affecting the care of destitute and
delinquent children. to work in CO.
operation with the committee headed
by Justice Siddons. which now is con-
sidering the District code. Mrs. Uf-
ford advised the committee that Mrs.
Ella West. who is in charge of plac
ing the children committed to the
board of chidren's guardians by the
Juvenile Court. does not perform this
work on account of the small salary
which she receives. but because Of
her love for children. She said that
to get trained worker for such a
task would require twice as large a
salary as Mrs. West receives. Mrs
Tfford declined to take up the time
OF the committee in contradicting tes-
timony given on specific cases. al
though she said she could refute the
testimony given.
Representative Walters OF Pennsyl-
vania. chairman of the subcommittee
conducting the hearing. suggested
that much of the trouble that has
arisen as between the mothers and
the board of children's guardians
could be obviated. if the board would
set day and an hour when mothers
could come before il and discuss
their cases. He said that the ad-
monition that they must put it in
writing" scares away a great many
people.
Mrs. West asked that she be al
lowed to file with the committee an
swers in each of the specific cases on
which testimony was given by moth
ers and children who have been
'farmed OUT by the board of chill
dren's guardians.
