Two Great Improvements Make Kotex More Con-

KOTEX scientists have im- n proved Kotex. In 2 im- Portant ways. And millions of new users have been won.
 Kotex is now infinitely softer than ever before. There is no irritation, no binding or ohahng. Iti soft as down, and light and cool to wear.
 And, by a new process, Kotex is form-htting. No awkward bulkiness to mar smooth fashionable lines.
 These ? features which arc exclusive in kotcx have won the spontaneous approval of women. of doctors and nurses.

TRAPS Laid FOR
GIGANTIC WATCH
SMUGGLING RING
Million Swiss Movements
Slipped Over Border
in Last Year.
BY KENNETH WATSON
Times STAFF Correspondent

+ WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. - The
customs service has launched a
drive to break up the gigantic
smuggling traffic in Swiss watch
movements into the United States
over the Canadian border. \
The offensive was started by
Commissioner of Customs E. w.
Camp, when information furnished
by Canadian officials revealed that
more than 100000 watch move
ments were struggled into this
country in the last year to avoid
payment of high duty fees.
All watch movements can be i'm
ported legally into Canad for so
cents each, regardless Of value.
whereas the American duty ranges
from rs cents on movements of
seven jewels or less to SLOTS on
movements with more than seven
teen jewels.
Canadian customs officials adj
vised Camp last year more than
100000 watch movements we're i'm
ported legally into Canada from
Europe. They estimate that the
normal Canadian consumption
would use but $4,000 of these, with
$4,000 more re-exported legally to
Mexico and countries other than
the United States.
Treasury officials say that all the
remainder or more than 100000
watch movements. either were

BUNKER, Mo, Sept. Some
day you may be walking down the
street in Helsingfors or Toxic or
some place and might meet some
body who halls from Bunker, Mo.
If you do, the chances are 100 to
that he knows Doc CDR. j. b
Gordon, and the chances are 10 to
that Doc Gordon brought that
person into the world.
For Doc Gordon, 77-year-old
family doctor Of this town, has Of
f1ciated at the birth of 6,744 babies
during his f1fty-six years of prac-
tlce here.
Many of Doc Gordon'S babies are
grandparents now. Hundreds are
parents and the others range in
age from a few days to 81 years.
Just the day before the celebration
Doc Gordon drove several miles
into the country7to bring a new
citizen into the world.
In 1871, Doc Gordon will tell you,
he helped the stork at SIS per help;
now he gets SIS. For twenty-six
years he rode horseback through
woods that boosted no better high
ways than paths. Then he bought
a horse and buggy. Now he spins
over the roads in a little car"
Doctor Gordon thinks that bring
ing baby into the world is one of
a doctors biggest responsibilities.

DRASTIC CHANGE
IN STUDY WILL
SPUR STUDENTS
Pupils to Do Own Thinking
Instead of Being Guided
by Questions.
BY RALPH L. SANDERS
United Press staff Correspondent


ST. LOUIS, Sept. Pupils will
do more than 80 per cent of the
talking in the st. Louis public
schools, under a new plan of in
struction inaugurated this year.
Teachers, with their allotmen of
but 0per cent, will use their time
in stimulating the minds of the
students to induce self-activity in
thinking and problem solving"
Conscientious teachers have had
this method of instruction in mind
for some time, thinking the pupils
should be guided particularly in
emotional development, character
and appreciation for music, litera-
ture and fine arts.
F. M. Underwood, district super
intendent for schools in the south
ern half Of the city, directly re-
Sponsible for the origin of the plan
here, explained the method worked
out by himself with the aid of prin-
cipalS of schools in his district.
Curiosity Challenged
The outline includes problems in
history, geography, literature, and
other subjects selected to challenge
the curiosity and capacities Of pupils
and thus give them knowledge
through direct thought rather than
the former method of memorization,
imitation and the mere following Of
instructions.
This year, under the new plan,
pupils will learn the essential facts
about the first presidential cam
paign in which William Jennings
Bryan was candidate by imagining
themselves voters of the period ex-
petced to Judge for themselves the
party deserving support and their
stands on free silver and other
questions.
Debates and discussions growing
out Of the differences between
pupils are expected to give them
permanent knowledge of the party
differences and national conditions
during that period.
New Study of Geography
In like manner, they will study
geography from the general stand
point Of social and economic factors,
finding out, by deduction, the rea-
Sons for the locations of large cities,
industrial centers, agricultural dis
tricts and other general information.
Memorizing will be ordered only
when the need for it is clearly ap-
parent. 1t would be necessary in
forming habits OF correct pronuncia-
lion, physical posture, writing forms
and like problems, but mastery of
history dates, and other statistics
will be reduced to a minimum, I'm
derwood said.
He believes that character build
ing which will result from correct
emotional development is the most
important need of school children
today, and that properly directed,
emotional reactions in children dur
ing their school years will do more
than any other one factor in de-
creasing the number of criminals,
moronS, delinquents and other I'M
social members of society.
According to the district superin-
tendent, the field Of emotional edu-
cation has been but lightly touched
by even the most modern of hand
books of education, and for that
reason efforts in that direction will
be somewhat slow and clumsy at
first.

Excess acid is the common cause
of indigestion. 1t results in pain
and sourness about two hours after
eating. The quick corrective is an
alkaE which neutralizes acid. The
best corrective is Phillips Milk of
Magnesia. 1t has remained stand
ard with physicians in the so years
since its invention.
One spoonful of Phillips Milk of
Magnesia neutralizes instantly many
times its volume in acid. 1t is harm
less and tasteless and its action is
quick. You will never rely on crude
