the United States Our prosperity and peace always
have been affected by conditions in the neighboring
republic.
Gil proposes to carry the policies of former

stressed three purposes. First to lift Mexico from
the mre of military relationships to the free consti-
ttionalism of representative party government Sec
ond to raise the status of workers and farmers Third
to cooperate with the United States on basis of
equal sovereignty.
The orderly choice OF Gil, civilian, to take the
place of the murdered President-Elect Obregon dem
onstrates the progress already made Much of this
is due to Gales His remuneration last September of
another presidential term at any time, and his ap-
peal for party government to supersede personal rule

effective. The people have responded

In making the X-ray picture, the

In the haphazard dentistry of the

Now the X-ray picture reveals such
roots and the modern dentists
promptly remove them.

M BRITTEN of Illinois took his
pen in hand the other day and ad-
dressed a note to Premier Baldwin
of Great Britain suggesting a con-
ferc-ce between members of con-
gress and members of parliament
for the purpose of solving the naval
problem. He felt that such con-
ference might do some good and
that under no circumstances could
it do worse than the diplomatic
palaverS of the last few years.
Premier Baldwin'S reaction was
not unfavorable, but my word"
who ever heard of approaching an
international problem that way? He
would keep the ball rolling for the
sake of craftsmanship, if for no
better reason. No one should saw
that England fell down when it
came to playing toss with such a
perfectly gorgeous idea.
Being unable to address the
American state department because
it had not addressed him. or to adj
dress Representative Britten be-
cause "the thing simply was not
done" he hit on the plan of en-
closing a note to Sir Esme Howard,
the British ambassador at Washing
ton, leaving it to the latter to fig
ure out to whom the note should be
delivered.

Ex-Presidents


What to do with our ex-Presdents is a question
which regularly arises
Our President Coolidge, whom rumor dominates
to be head of the powerful oil interests lobbyist
does not choose to state what he will do until he
is through with his White House job. Which is his
privilege.
Without arrogating any undue wisdom on the
subject, we just wonder why ex-President should
not run for the senate or some such office. Expert
ence in the White House is excellent training for
legislator He would be able to see things from new
angles.
In the case of Mr., Coolidge, politics is the only
thing he really knows. AS lawyer, he would be

national disgrace. AS sage he would be wasted

he was better farmer and rancher than anything

of trumps at the left of the lone
ace-queen. Yet overcoming this
disadvantage is not half so difficult
as it may at first appear.
South leads the ace of hearts,
and then the jack of hearts,
North discarding his losing dia-
mond. South now leads a dia-
mond, and North trumpS.
North must next lead spade, but
South, no matter whether or not
East covers, discards his last dia-
mond. And West, unfortunately, is
now compelled to trump, and then
to lead a trump from his minor
tenace to South's major tenace.
The opening lead of trump in
this problem, or of a diamond,
brings obvious defeat. If the jack
of hearts is led to North's king,
North is placed in a helpless posi-
ton. There is only one way to
play the hand and to overcome
Vests advantage in trumps.

Game of Toss

Sir Esme Howard went to the
state department, as a good am
bassador should, hoping, no doubt,
that Mr.. Kellogg could give him
some light, but whether Mr.. KEEL
logg could, he did not. Mr.. KEEL
logg knew nothing about the sug-
gestion of congress- parliament
pow WOW, that is officially.
The two distinguished gentlemen
were not put out with each other,
of course. They were merely going
through the motions that conven-
tionality demanded unded the cir
cumStances.
In the end, Sir Esme Howard put
Premier Baldwin's note in his
pocket, and bowed himself out. just
as he knew he would when he
came in.
If some member of parliament is
not kind enough to intervene and
answer Representative Britten's
letter it seems doomed to the Off
cial waste basket.

Biggest Submarine

Meanwhile, and as if to let the
world know where she stands on
the naval situation, without even
being asked, France is getting ready
to launch the biggest submarine
ever built.
This submarine will be named
"Surcouf' in honor of diStingu-
ished French privateer, will be 400
feet long, and have a surface dis
placement of $3.50 tons. That is
larger than the biggest American
submarine by $50 tons and the big
gest British submarine by 725.
The "Surcouf" will have a speed
of % knots. will be equipped with
every new safety device. will be
completely covered with armcr
above the water line and Will con-
tain accommodations for officers
and crew surprising those hitherto
provided in any similar craft. It's
cost has been estimated at $4,000, 900,
and the French government has
authorized sister ship to be built
as soon as funds are available.

Many Teeth NeUer Come Through

chewing has grown less and the
jaw of man is much smaller than
it was thousands of years ago.
The wisdom teeth frequently fail
to appear entirely, aid in many
cases lie in such positions as to
injure the teeth in front Of them.
In many instances an interrupted
wisdom tooth seems to be asSoci-
ated with pain in the head or in
the back of the neck and even
with earache.
Not infrequently also these teeth
become associated with infection. If
the dentist believes that the tooth
is exerting harm in the mouth, he
will be likely to recommend its re-
moval.
The x-ray picture is the modern
method of surveying the condition
of the teeth at any given period.
Such picture should be taken
early in life and at fairly frequent
intervals so complete information
may be had relative to the care OF
the mouth.

What Is Italy?

Whatever one may think of
Mussolini, he seems to have knack
for picking real problems, as we'll
as the courage to tackle them. Just
now it is "urbanism" that challenges
his attention. Italy, he believes,
must be protected against the city
ward rush.
Unable to think of anything bet
ter, the cabinet council gave each of
the ninety-two projects in Italy
power to act as he saw fit.
Put in plain language, this means
that the FaciSt government has
authorized the administrative head
of each district to adopt such meas
ureS as he considers necessary to
prevent people who live in the coun-
try from moving to town.
More regulation, more interior
ence with personal rights, more
state control of private affairs! If
Russia is a great laboratory of social
experiments, as we are so constant
ly told, what is Italy?

Paving the Fiddler

War and rumors or war, how can
people take them so complacently
when they barely have begun to pay
the fiddler for his last performance?
In Germany, the pension roll al
ready has reached the enormous
sum of $425 100000 year with more
than 100000 persons on it and
more than 100000 trying to get
there.
Germany's bill will be going up
for at least fifteen years, as will that
of every other nation which partici-
pated in the war. Afterward,
though it may begin to shrink in
numbers, it will be kept up by an
increase of allowances, and it will
not come to an end for three or
four generations.
We are still paying pensions in
connection with the Mexican war
which ended eighty years ago.
