Science

A common prediction today is
people soon will be toothless.
The purpose of teeth is to break up
food into smaller particles. Today
this is done largely by preparation
and cooking, and the teeth have very
little to do. Among savages, the
teeth often are worn away, by hard
work. Among civilized people, worn
teeth are rare. The jaws no longer
crunch bones and they get a smaller
and smaller supply Of blood, through
lack Of exercise, as food becomes
easier to eat. Therefore the teeth
grew weak and less numerous, dent
tstry more scientific in an attempt to
keep what we have.
The history of teeth indicates that
man is shedding his teeth in sets
Of four as he travels through the
centuries. The only hope for keep
ing his teeth is a new physical vigor
due to more primitive conditions,i
and this appears impossible.

Grand Jury Probe,

Editor, Birmingham Post

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. U.s.
| * With Oklahoma already locked
Ill in desperate struggle between
binary powers of military rule, Ala
lbama is faced with a somewhat par
allel situation as a result Of the clash
between it's Governor and a county
grand jury.
Determined that the Jefferson Coun-
| ty grand jury, sitting at Birmingham
should not investigate conditions in
a State convict mine in this county
! Governor Brandon announced he
would defy an order from Circuit
Judge Helm, commanding the State
convict department to produce four
| prisoners as witnesses.
Governor Brandon through L. A.
| Boyd, head Of the convict board, has
/ secured writ of prohibition from Asso-
ciate Justice Gardner Of the Supreme
Court, forcing Helm to set aside his
order for production Of convict wit
nesses.
The clash between Brandon and
county authorities grew out Of a mu-
!
mines. where overall hundred State
convicts are leased to be worked for
private employers.
During the mutiny nearly $40 900
worth of machinery was dynamited
and prisoners held control for a day.
Interest Is Widespread
Coming on the heels Of a long and
unsuccessful fight to abolish convict
leasing in Alabama, during which
Governor Brandon had steadfastly de-
Tended the leasing system. news Of
the mutiny excited widespread in
terest.
The interest developed into a wave
Of Indignation when it was learned
prisoners participating in the revolt
had been logged as the preceding ad-
ministration had abolished the lash
from the Alabama penal system.
Charges Of deplorable conditions
leading up to the mutiny became gen
erai, and Solicitor Davis of jefferson
County presented the matter 10 the
grand jury for a thorough invesuga-
Ion.
Governor Brandon Immediately or.
dered there be no such probe. Davis
dehed him and commenced the inves-
tgation. Then members OF the State
convict department announced they
would not appear as witnesses. The
grand jury subpoenaed them and
Davis declared the subpoenas would
be enforced, so they agreed to appear.
Secures Peremptory Order
"Convicts. however, cannot be called
as witnesses" Governor Brandon
warned Davfs Davis response was
TO go before Circuit Judge Hefin and
I secure a peremptory order for their
appearance. II is this order which
Brandon announced he would defy.
Meanwhile. Governor Brandon adj

storm of indignation throughout Ala

Members of the Alabama State

public resolutions declaring that con-
/ ditions in Banner mines had been so

months ago the State was warned q

lions accused Evans of gross brutality
