A clause in the Irish treaty af.

service committee decided against
the claim and appeals have been
taken from the decisions.

At the same time, says the Far

Europe and Asia, as we'll as by the

Stonecutter's Tools
Are "Wished On"
Sec. Davis

Secretary Of Labor Davis has
a set of stonecUtter tools and
is in a quandary what to do
with them.
They arrived Saturday in a
neat package, triple padlocked
and were followed today with a
set of keys to open the locks.
Accompanying the keys was a
long rambling letter from a
Philadelphia man saying the
tools were useless to me as
organized labor in the building
industry wants to deprive me of
existing by my labor"
Secretary Davis will endeavor
to get in touch with the mans

The Film Combated
Why not keep those prettier teeth !?

Your dentist, when he cleans
teeth, removes the dingy film. Then
teeth look whittier, cleaner. Why
not keep them so7
Millions of people now daily
fight that film. They use a new
type tooth paste. Now, wherever
you look, you see teeth glisten-
see them free from clouds.
How teeth lose their beauty
You feel on your teeth a viscous
Aim. Under old-way brushing,
much of it clings and stays. Food
stains, ETC., discolor it, then it forms
dingy coats to cloud the luster of
the teeth.
Film also causes most tooth
troubles. It holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions in it. They, with tar
tar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea.
That is why tooth troublestcome
to 30 many, despite the daily care.
The Washington times., 1924-02-26

two ways to fight that film. One
disintegrates the film at all stages
OF formation. One removes il
without harmful securing.
Many careful tests have proved
these methods effective. A new
type tooth paste has been created
to apply them daily. The name il
Pepsodent.
Today careful people Of some 50
nations employ it, largely by dem
tai advice. To countless homes it
has brought new dental era.
Ten days shows what
1T means
This delightful test will quickly
show you what Pepsodent can do.
It does more than fight Aim. It
multiplies the alkalinity of the
saliva. That is there to neutralize
mouth acids. It multiplies the
ptyalin in saliva, which Is there to
digest starch deposits on teeth.
These combined results give a
new idea of what a dentifrice
should do.

Appeal to Congress
To Pass Law

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 26.-State
regulation Of carrying pistols has
proved SO ineffective that legisla.
i've leaders are preparing to ask
Congress to take a hand and give
the United States army control OF
the sale Of firearms. The Sullivan
law making it a misdemeanor to
purchase and carry revolvers is al.
most dead letter because it can
not be enforced by State and mu.
hclpal police agencies.
The menace to the public of hav.
ing reckless young thugs wander

IN recent crime waves and hold-ups
ana the lawmakers have about con-
GUIDED something more drastic must

State Scope Limited.
The State law is effective as far
as 1t goes, but does not prevent
any one who wishes getting a pis.
Coi oy sending his money to any Of
q number of gun manufacturers in
other States. The weapons are
shipped in by express or carried

IS easy to get a gun in Connecticut.

Inc man who does not care to GO

IL there is to be effective reeu-

Inc legislature has the authority
to modify the Sullivan law by
making 1t legal for a citizen to

Public Protests.
The public has been protesting
for years against that provision OF
the law and recent crimes have
brought to public attention tie ad.
visibility of giving the home owner
a little more latitude in guarding
his own.
A resolution has been prepared
by Assemblyman Cuvillier, of New
York, memorializing Congress to
eract general law along the gen.
eral lines of the Sullivan law. That
would make illegal the practice OF
shipping guns into this State. The
resolution will ask that Congress
place the administration bf the law
under the army. 1t would then
be impossible to obtain pistols eX
cept at army depots, and the Fed.
eral officials would have complete
control of all firearms.
The leaders of both parties are
said to favor the resolution.
Hoold-ups and gun play have be

and the reason assigned Is that
young men became proficient in
the use of firearms during the

STATE FISHERIES
GET PIKE PERCH
FROM LAKE ERIE
Favorite Variety Is Rare in

Quarts in Shipment.

One hundred and ten quarts OF
pike perch eggs taken from Lake
Erie have been received by the
State conservation department
through courtesy of the Ohio con-
servation department. They will be
artifcially propagated and the
young fish planted in Indiana
streams this year.
George n. Mannfeld, chief of the
Indiana fish and game division,
estimates the consignment consists
of 100000 eggs. It is usual for a
large percent of the eggs to prove
fertile
The pike perch is one Of the most
edible and favorite of the game
fishes. States controlling the waters
of Lake Erie from which the spawn
comes, must agree to permit eggs
being taken before they can go into
other States not interested in the
control of the lake waters. On
several occasions Indiana was I'M
successful in obtaining eggs of this
species.
Fifty quarts of the eggs are now
lncubating in battery Of glass jars
at the Riverside hatchery in this
city, and The other sixty quarts are
at the trilakes hatchery in Whitley
County near Columbia City.
Manifold calls attention that only
three species of fish are protected
1uring the, spawning season between
April 80 and May 16. They are the
large and small-mouth black bass
and bluegill.
Are Not Protected
The Rock bass, often called cog
gle-eye or red-eye; crappie, often
called calico bass or strawberry bass,
and the Yarmouth bass are not pro-
.ected.
