The gift of $4,000 to the American Histor-
cal association by Mrs. Catherine Eddie Bev-
erdge, in memory Of her husband, Albert j.
Reveridge, is both timely and important. She
explained in letter to the head of the asso-
citation that she would like the recipients to
feel that this comes from him as his tribute
to the association and to historical research
Mrs. Beveridge's gift is looked upon as the
first step in the creation of fund of 100000,
to bear the name of Albert j. Beveridge and to
be devoted to historical research. Friends OF
Mr.. Beveridge are planning now to raise an
other $4,000 by popular subscriptions to
match the generous aid given the cause by
Mrs Beveridge. 1t is recalled that Mr.. Bev-
eridge's last public utterance was an address
pleading for support for the historical organi-
zation to which his widow has just contrib
uted.
That the next annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Historical association will be held in In
dlanapolis next December should be of inter-
est to the people Of the state. Such a gath
erng OF the historians of Amerc" will tend ~
stimulate interest in the George Rogers Clark
and Abraham Lincoln memorials. The people
of Indiana are showing more interest than ever
before. They are aware that the nation is re.
garding Indiana in new light by reason of
the activities in behalf of the Clark and Lin.
coin movements. For this reason it seems
particularly appropriate that the new research
fund should have the sponsorship of residents
of Indiana.

Editorial Comment
A Sensible Repeal
New York 1'imesl

\ANcW IOIk 1IIHcS)
Representative Celler of New York City has
introduced bill to repeal those sections of the
Federal Criminal Code which prohibit inter-
state transportation Of films of boxing con-
tests. A recent Court decision took all force
from the law. 1t never had any logic behind
it. Films, under that decision, may now be
shown in States other than that in which the
fight was held, but they may not be transport
ed The result is that bootlegging against this
law has begun, and movies of the recent Tun-
ney-Dempsey fight were shown everywhere IN
the country. There is, under the Courts rul-
ing, no penalty against an exhibitor for re-
ceiving such films from bootlegger, provided
he hasn't participated in the bootlegging itself
There are enough senseless laws on the
statute books without this one. Reports from
Washington are that the House committee in
charge is disposed to allow the repeal bill to
sleep forever. The longer the law remains in
the Code, the more bootlegging there will be:
and one would suppose that even Congress has
seen enough of this sort OF thing. "Stilp' pic
lures Of fights are published by the thousands,
without penalty. It is nonsense to continue
this Intellectual ban against the motion pic
lures House and Senate leaders should put
the repeal on their order of businss.

The Anti-Smut Campaign
(MinneapoliS Tribune)

Prevention of smut-tainted grain is Of inl-
portance to the producer, the grain dealer, the
miller, and even the consumer. Essentially, Of
course the problem is one of economics, or of
dollars and cents but it is also one in a lesser
way OF table food refinement, and perhaps even
one of health.
There is. however, motive enough in the
economic phase alone to induce cooperation by
farmers, grain dealers, millers, railroad men,
business interests and agricultural educators
Tor smut prevention. Smutty grain is vitality
impaired grain. 1t commands no such prices
IN the markets as grain that is untainted
Dealers, shippers and millers would gladly be
rid OF it, but in the first instance the farm
ers should be gladly rid of it,
The Northwest Grain Smut Prevention com.
mittee, which has just held conference in the
offices Of the Minneapolis Civic & Commerce
association, has very important self-imposed
mission to perform in minimizing or eliminat-
ing grain smut. It is entitled to all the prac-
tlcal help it can get from any source to carry
on its work Of education. It's existence and
its efforts have been vindicated by the results
It has helped to bring about in the last two
years.
In 1925 one car of wheat in each six UNI
loaded in Minneapolis was smutty In 1927
the ratio had changed to one car in r. AS
to this particular marketed wheat the reduc-
ton of smut was SO per cent. If that reduc-
ton were translated into monetary benefits
actually received by producers, it would be
readily apparent that smut prevention is amply
worth while 1t is intended that attention shall
be focused on the problem through the observ-
ance of grain smut prevention week from
February % to March 3.
The purpose is to induce the planting of
clean seed, or seed not infected with disease.
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana are in
the spring wheat area; that is, in an area
where most Of the wheat is planted in the
spring. That is the reason for intensifying the
educational campaign at this time Of the year.
When these states have reduced black stem
rust and smut to minimum, they will have
gained very important economic ground. This
is not simply to be fondly hoped for; it is
something that can be done with the right
concerted effort by all interests affected.
The movement is worthy Of crystallized at
tention in boys and girls clubs, in radio
broadcasting studios, in demonstration ex.
hibits in agricultural extension activities and
elsewhere. It deserves active support in city
and country. It has had that support in some
measure, and as the years 60 on it will have
it in large measure because it commends itself
to economic good sense.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 2.-The other
morning they found a beautiful
young Russian singer dead in q gas
filled Brooklyn bathroom. She had
made her New York debut q few
nights before. The critics CURLY
and briefly recorded that she could
not smg-at least she could not
sing WELL. She had spent many
years studying with great teachers.
She thought FER hour had come. It
had taken q few hundred dollars
perhaps all she had-to make the
gesture of a public appearance in
a public forum. After that, it SEEM
ed to her, there was no use going
on.
And there you have a typical
"little tragedy" Of Manhattan. Per-
haps me of the most sinister re-
actions Of the great city is this
destructive effect upon vanities and
egos and hopes.
To be a ''success" in New York
seems to be the beginning and end
of 50 many dreams. To get good
notices" in New York seems such
a magnified achievement. To fail
in New York seems to sound the
death knell of any hopes. New York
j looked upon at the goal. If one
is to achieve anything, tradition
says lat New York is the place
that must stamp its O. K. on the
performance. And so little strug-
Cling humans come to get their
values all mixed up.
Heartbreak, heartache, despair,
despond and even suicide follow in
the wake of the innumerable efforts
made to crack this city's hard shell.
Individuals, wrapt for so many
years in Themselves perfectly
natural consequence when one is
training toward some end-seem to
forget that tens Of Thousands are
constantly doing the same thing.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-02-02
WHY TEETH DECAY

The causes Of tooth decay may
be mechanical, chemical, nutritional
Of psychological.
The teeth Of many children have
2 poor start in life because the
mother, during CESSATION, does not
understand the science Of feeding her
body properly in order to supply the
materials for the growth of the
baby's bony structures. If her diet
is deficient in calcium and phos-
phorus the baby's teeth will not de-
velop properly, and when they do
burst through the gums they may
grow in with faulty positions.
Both the first and second teeth
are really formed before the birth Of
the child but can usually be made
to grow better il the baby is fed
properly even though the mothers
diet during pregnancy is incorrect.
When the child's teeth grow in i'm
properly, and the diet has not been
corrected until the child is at the
adolescent stage, certain teeth may
be affected because they do not fit
properly wit, the corresponding
teeth Il the other Jaw. Sometimes
one or more teeth will be so out of
alignment with the others that they
are hardly used at all for chewing,
and consequently become ,yeak
through lack Of exercise. The teeth
which do strike together may be
overly irritated through meeting too
forcibly, as these few teeth may
have to do all the work of 1astica-
ton. In many cases the orthodontist
can correct the trouble bv the extrac-
ton Of one or two teeth or by wiring
the teeth to grow in . certain po-
sition.
When one eats the ordinary
mixed diet, the friction Of the food
against the teeth is not sufficient to
clean off the bacterial mold which
forms between meals. To keep the
teeth clean from these molds it is
necessary to brush the teeth well two
or three time daily. It is a good
plan to have five or six tooth brushes
to use 50 that there will be time for
the brushes to dry out q they are
used alternately. Every few days
the brushes should be sterilized in
boiling water and each dipped for
. few ecoEds in grain alcohol or
some ,ther antiseptic.
The teeth should be brushed from
all directions, including up I'd down
between the teeth. It is very i'm
portant to give the inns . good
brushing, even though tkev bleed a
little at first. LITER a few days
the bleeding will stop il no pyorrhea
or trench mouth exists. Any good
dentrifice may be used to scour and
chemically clean the teeth.
The teeth of many people ar. in
jured by a poor quality Of saliva. It
is known that saliva contains ntyalin,
which is an alkaline digestive fer
ment. It may be that other aka
lines or bases exist in the saliva of
the normal : -rson, but the have not
been actually found. Some patients
who seem to have normal ptyalin
test to their saliva will still suffer
from what appears to be an acid
mouth. Eating plenty Of green veg
etables and whole grains seems to
