To Have Jeritza like Teeth
4" Essay by JAMES WA1LEN

"A THEN Maria Jeritza sings, she is as lovely w to look upon as she is to hear.
 Jeritzas teeth arc as white as alabaster, as smooth as polished ivory. They show devoted care.
 ohaVe Jertza-like teeth Use ORpHos, the greatest improvement in dentifrices since tooth powder gave way to paste.
 oRPHos IS compounded for the special purpose of ehml1atlng the soft sticky tartar normally present in every mouth, ORpHos removes tartar before it hardens into the stony substance that creeps under the gums to wreck teeth and impair health
 ORPHoS should be used at bedtime, because more tartar solidihes during one hour of slumber than through all the day, Then, brush with ORpHos in the morning for the blessed satisfaction of being mouth perfect.

S26o,oo0 Robbery at PaWtqcket 20. Biggest in New England

Fawtucket, r. l.. Feb. ? Rl-A relentless hunt was in full swing 10. day for four tough looking birds" who stole the years supply Of s250,- coo worth Of stamps from the main postoffiee here in the biggest postal robbery In the history Of New Eng land.
 Five postal inspectors were on the scene and more were preparing to come. Police Of thls state as well as those Of Connecticut and Massa- ehusetts were cooperating in q high way patrol that was expected 10 re- suit in the capture of the robbers should they attempt to flee in the automobile In which they sped from the footed post office yesterday morning.
 Details Of the robbery pleced to- gsther by police and postal inspec- tors from the stories of night clerk and the watchmsn. the only em- ployes on duty, show 1t to have been one Of consumate daring.

 AS clerk and watchman watched, the robbers started a leisurely job on the main vault, burning through the door with an acetylene gas torcls
 During the course Of this the ~atehman complained of the cold and one Of the men put coat over his shoulders. Later he said he was hungry and both he and Sullivan | were given sandwiches for which | the robbers had sent to nearby restaurant.
 When the door had been wrecked | the men calmly piled the supply Of stamps into II mail pouches and left.
 The only clues police have 10 their description are those furnished by the oyerpowered employees who re- ported all four wore light caps and dark overcoats, and that of res- taurant waiter who says he served them just before the robbery. They were four tough looking birds" he told the police.
 The men left behind them three tanks Of acetylene gas, torch, a sledge hammer, some dynamite fuses and cartridges. They warned Raf- ferty and Sullivan not to touch the fuses but advised them 10 leave the explosives for the police to handle.

 Discusses Industry The king pointed out that the im- 1 rroYement in trade and industry at the end of 1924 which it was hoped would decrease unemployment was unfortunately checked early last year by widespread depression in the coal mining industry, Since autumn | Of last year. signs of revival of industry had begun to appear. but the growth of confidence upon which I revival depended was being ar rested by fear of industrial strife.

The New Britain Institute has re- gently subscribed to two new ma salncs. the Bulletin of Pan-Ameri- can Union and the National Muni- ujpal Review.
 The National Municipal Review is published monthly by the National Municipal league. It covers the field of government by means of articles, comments and news notes. IL discusses frankly he vital prob i4us facing the people. In the January issue. Mir. Austin MacDon- aid of the University of Pennsyl- rana writes of the alarming politi- cal situation in Philadelphia. The National Municipal Review, in fact takes up all sorts of civic affairs from outdoor advertising to regional planning and budget making.
 The American Union has definitely for its problem the better understanding and union of South and Central American countries with United States. II accomplishes this through the Bulletin, which is the official organ Of the Union. Some of the articles in the January issue were: Cuha's new ambassador 10 the United States, Labor court in the Argentine republic, Sun-up in Pan American Red Cross and Intcrna- tional Uruguay II also gives notes on agriculture industry and com mcrce as well as economic and f. nsncial affairs.

A. We are infested by mushroom

resented by high-priced officials, are
eternally in quest of some new issue

the money to support the oCGaniZa-

guided belief that we are the greatest
humanitarian nation in the world.
The American people are humane and
considerate. But they do not realize
that they have become dupes for "a

RUBBER GROWING BY L. s.

/ ber problem are wholly useless and
! time wasting. He says that every

/ Making faces and calling names will
! not do the trick. Action is needed.
4 Ii takes seven years for rubber
! trees to reach productive maturity.
/ Every day of delay is costly"
| The report submitted to Congress in
June. 1925, treats of the present small
I Philippine rubber industry and dis
cusses the extent to which il might
/. be expanded. With a population of
over 10,000.000 people sn the Philip
pines. it is believed that the more con
geSted provinces. together with local
/ labor, might ultimately furnish Il Suf-
lcIent force To produce. when mature.
10000 tons of rubber yearly. The
present land laws, designed to retain
diffuSed land ownership, do not lend
III rubber plantations. Nevertheless
moderate sized plantations are possible
with foreign capital. and, moreover
the small native planter. with proper
encouragement. might become a pro
ducer of important further supplies.
Cites Dutch Plan.
In certain parts OF Dutch India,
where rubber planting has been fos-
tered by the Netherlands government
natives have become prosperous
through planting rubber with their
annual crops grown on small forest
clearlngS. The Department of Com
merce told Congress that the same
means might be taken to encourage
Filipino native planters. such Il
plan the department said would be
in harmony with the present land pol
icy OF the Philippine government by
helping to solve the problem of induc-
ing the so-called caingin farmer to
become a permanent landholder and if
carried out. would increase the produc-
tive wealth of the islands"
Y. q. Bunuan. one of the represent
atlVes of the Philippine government in

Philippine Legislature 50 far has not
received any formal proposition from
American investors with regard to in
veStment of capital in the Philippines
