Of Four
teen Nations Bring Woes
to Miss Frances Scott.

All o. you who think you are
heavily laden with the cares Of life,
how would you like to carry the bur-
dcns Of fourteen nationalities on your
shoulders? This is the job OF San
Antonio woman, who plays the part
of diplomat and counsel and physi-
clan and teacher, judge and jury, to
the sons Of other lands who live
where San Antonio's guitars play at
night.
West of the San Pedro creek, where
Mexican tamale vendors vie with the
Italian orange peddler and the Greek
shoemaker. there is little city of
foreign-born; streets where little
Guatcmalan children play with sons
and daughters of Syria: rows of open
stalls, where the tongue of France
minglcs with the music of the language
that is SPANS. Here, where the
flags of many nations have been put
aside for one, lives the woman to
whom these newcomers turn for
sympathy and advice the woman who
hears the secrets of their hearts, their
sorrows and joys and cares.
RUNS GAMUT OF WOES.

Frances Scott, secretary of the In

According to DR.. 4. l.. Ncthery.
San Antonio dentist, bad teeth are II
strong contributing cause Of crime.
CAUSE FOR CRIME.
BAD teeth. probably more than
any other single cause, lead TO loss
of nerve control" Dr. Nethery said.
Normal people are often converted
into hysterical. dsagreeable nervous
wrecks because of disorders of the
mouth. | have examined the skulls
of many criminals. and without an
exception they all had bad teeth
DR.. Nethery explained that where
irritation of the mouth exists, nerves
controlling our general health and
well being-hencc our actions, arc
indirectly affected. If this irritation
continues. the resistance Of the
strongest nerves and of the most
placid disposition will naturally
weaken.
AFFECT DISPOSITIONS.
II have found that bad teeth most
especially affect the dispositions Of
women" DR.. Ncthcry said. Normal.
even tempered people can become near
criminals simply through the constant
wear on their nerves, and women
usually neglect their teeth longer
than man will. However. men are
induced to crime through bad teeth
as well as women
The statistics of n famous clinic
show that 30 per cent of all diseases
are either contracted through the
mouth or are due directly TO the
mouth. School statistics show that
unruly pupils are reformed" into
good children often by the dentist,
with the correction Of mouth and
inoth tronhlcs.

certainly right when he says: If these
total accidents were concentrated into
one calamity, we should shudder at
the tremendous catastrophe Imagine
IT. One-half million people injured by
automobiles every year, And in the
last six years the accident toll has
increased by 80 per cent"
Who is chiefly to blame for this
motor crime'?" l asked.
I'VE are all to blame. The public
is usually half asleep and doesn't wake
up until some series of dreadful acci-
dents. Occur. Then, after a short
campaign against motor crime, the
public goes to sleep again.
THE pedestrian is frequently TO

less. The driver usually gets most Of
the blame, and as a rule he deserves
it. But l think most of all the police
are to blame. 1t is only human nature
that when the public is not too en-
thusiastic about enforcing speed laws
the police should lag in making ar
rests for speed violation. However,
that does not let us out, We have
taken an oath TO arrest any man who
violates the law, no matter who he is,
and it is our bounden duty TO carry
out that oath. a police force that is
incorruptible, vigilant, and merciless
in its enforcement of traffic laws can
do much toward cutting down our

with the money wasted every year
on accidents, or 1850 locomotives to
haul them. Or we could buy $4,000. 900
barrels of flour with that money to
feed some OF the people who don't
get enough in this and other coun-
tries.
"Those are comparisons which may
make some Of our reckless drivers sit
up and think. Remember, every year
all this evaporates into thin air-in
smoke, in repairs, in funerals and in
hospital bills
Imagine blowing up 55 Woolworth
buildings every year! Yet that's
practically the equivalent of the dam
age done by our automobiles"
Aside from accidents how much
do traffic delays and other traffic prob
lens cost the Nation?" I asked.
II have no figures on that, but /
know one stretch of congested high
way between New York and Eliza
beth where traffic is held up for long
intervals, and where. if you reckon
a waste of 81 for every hour of delay,
there is an annual loss of s20, 900, 900.
Since motor trucks are operated at
a cost of about $25 a day, an esti-
mated loss of 81 an hour seems most
conservative.
Then there is the loss of life,
which neither Mr.. Hoover nor any
one else can measure in dollars and
cents Automobiles kill % every "a
hours. That, in my opinion, Is a ma
