By DE-. LOuis .. Bisch

HAVE You ever looked into

your own. for that matter, to see
whether the teeth of the upper
jaw fit snuggly over Hose oI

Such an observation viii sur
prise you. am sure. You will
note that there are inlperfections
that perhaps spaces exist between
the biting surfaces. At any rate
such is the rule rather than the
exception.
There are many types Of so
called inalocclusion. Dentists who
specialize In this sort Of work
the orthodontists classify them
readily.
What difference does It make,
you may ask. whether malocclu
sion is present or not? So long
as the food is chewed properly,
what of it?
That is just it. In cases Of
malocclusion the food is not
cheWed properly, nor is it mixed
as is should be with saliva.
which. as YOU know, contains a
digestive element called ptyalin.
Besides. maiocclusion may distort
the face. 1t weakens or other
wise interferes with the muscular
action of the jaws. Malocclusfon
may lead to digestive and even
to nervous disorders!
Quoting from recent scientific
paper, written by a pioneer and
celebrated authority on ortho-
dontia: Eighty per cent OF our
children chew on one side OF the
mouth as a result of an inyolun-
Ntary habit caused by sore tooth
early in life or by an imperfect
occlusion of the cusps and fis-
sures of the teeth.
We would not run our automo-
bile with half the teeth broken
off the fly-wheel. Why do we ne
glect the mechanical function of
the human crushing organ, which
has such a marked influence over
digestion of food. operating for or
against the growth and well-being
of the body?''
How many people really have a
symmetrical face, one side ex-
actly like the other? Very few,
indeed. And the reason the
learned doctor gives Is undouht-
edly responsible for the great ma
jority of the cases.
That the so-called ductless
glands play part in causing
malocclusion there can be no
question. Often orthodontic appli.
ances must be backed up with
gland treatment. But what these
orthodontists can accomplish, es-
pecially with children, not only
in making their faces grow as
normally and, 1 may say, as
beautifully as passihle, but also in
promoting general health and
stimulating intelligence develop

Velous.

He should also have teeth that

FOR WORKERS OF u. s..

Moisha was a millinery operate
for 16 years. He wasn't a very
pleasant person, but nevertheless he
was a very hard worker. He worked
for nine years in our shop. Then
he became sick and the doctors de-
cided on an operation.
He said goodby to everybody. The
boss wished him good luck, telling
him not to worry and told him that
he'd get his job back as soon as he
was well again. The operation was
not quite successful, and for sew
eral nights the men of the shop
took turns at watching at his bed
side, for Moisha was expected to
die. After being in the hospital for
three months, he recovered. He
finally came back to the shop, and
although he was only about az or
43 years old, he looked like an old
man. Our boss took one look at him
and decided that he didn't want him
anymore. He told him to go.

FORUM IN CHURCH DEFY DARKNESS
is BUNK" AFFAIR OF SOUTHERNERS
Communist Speaker Is
Not Invited
by a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
Recently there was a symposium
of the presidential candidates at the
Community Church forum. To my
surprise John Haynes Holmes, the
minister, announced that a Com
munist representative had not been
invited because the forum had no
time to listen to any "minor" party
and he therefore stopped when he
reached the socialist party.
This same minister on various
occasions has claimed that he is q
fighter for the working class and q
champion of the common people. On
the first page of the church calender
the following is written-"The pur-
pose of this church is for Service
Of Humanity, seeking truth and free
dom-knowing no sect, class, ma
ton or race" Why, then, this dis
elimination against the Communist
Party?
The first speaker was Mrs. Block,
socialist. She described the re-
publican and democratic parties as
grafters, how "public ownership"
would be the remedy and pointed
eloquently to the wonderful work
which the socialists are doing in
Europe.
Congressman H. Fish then spoke
for the republican party. He tried
to show how prosperous America
has become under Coolidge's leader
ship; no unemployment, and high
standard of living for the workers
He, said that Coolidge and Hoover
were entirely guiltless of any graft
or corruption during the Harding
that Hoover knows the farmers
administration He ended by saying
needs because he was born on a
farm, and the other candidates dc
not because they were born in the
city.
Mrs. Bruere then spoke for the
democratic party. She praised
Smiths accomplishments as gov
ernor and his wonderful personality.
This is the kind of bunk the work
ers are forced to listen to at public
forum, which advertised itself as
unfolding truth and free speech. No
wonder they did not invite a Com
munist; he would rip the mask off
those liars and expose them for what
they are--capitalist paid agents.

SERB REGIME TO
TRY cRoAT CHIEF
Violent Outbreaks in
Provinces

BELGRADE, Nov. 9.--The Bel
grade regime announced today that
it would prosecute the leaders of the
Croatian peasant party and the in
dependent democratic party, DR..
Machek and Svetozar Pribichevitch,
for their writings and speeches
directed against the Serbian regime
of oppression. The newspaper Pol
itika was suppressed Yesterday for
the third time this week.
The Belgrade parliament still
calls itself the government Of Jugo-
slavia, although the Croatian and
Dalmatian autonomists have de-
clared that they will no longer con-
slider the laws passed by 1t as per-
tanning to them. All efforts to sup
press the autonomist movement in
the provinces have failed, and violent
demonstrations of Croatian peasants
and Dalmatian workers are reported
to have broken out again.
The peasants and democratic par
ties have formed coalition against
the Belgrade government, but due to
the passive resistance policy urged
by the leaders, the Jugoslav regime
has been able thus far to run rough
shod over its opponents.
