Chinless and TOOthless
Human Race Predicted
BY e. e. FREE, PHI. d.

That mankind will not need to worry
much longer about getting toothache or
spilling remnants of breakfast on its
chin is the conclusion of a British stu
dent of dental architecture, DR.. G. B.
Palmer.
Soon men will have, he believes,
neither teeth nor chins for any purpose
at all. Toothless and chinless our de-
scendants will roam the world, unless
something forces a radical change in
human food. Ages ago men and other
animals needed really to work their
jaws in order to eat.
Cooking had not reduced the ma
jority of foods to a soft pulp, knives
and forks had not been invented to
relieve the teeth Of their prineval duty
to tear off whatever was to be eaten.
That is why nearly all the animals
Of mans class developed outward
pointing front teeth that can bite or
gnaw bits of meat or bark or succulent
root. That Is the reason, too, for the
sharp-pointed canine" teeth on either
side of the front ones-Spearlike imple-
ments to transfix the selected morsel
while it is being gnawed loose.
Nowadays none of these duties are
necessary. Cooking and table manners
have displaced them. Nature IS always
economical, DR.. Palmer believes, and &C.
cordingly she is gradually reducing the
length of the human chin, the protru-
sion of the front teeth and the strength
and number of the teeth themselves.
In few hundred thousand years table
manners are apt to leave everybody
chinless and almost jawless.

cut the number of immigrants from
1856. 900 to 10000 year, with the cut

we consider adapted for American citi-

Humanizing Federal Finance.

Those Of the countrywide air audi
ence who failed to listen in on Secre-
tary Melons talk in The Evening Star
Columbia Systems National Radio Fo-
rum on Saturday night missed one Of
the finest oratorical treats ever broad
cast. Never before was the complicated
and complex business Of Uncle Sans
financial affairs so humanized.
Mr.. Mellon Is not an experienced
broadcaster, nor particularly adept at
public speaking. His innate modesty
forbids the acquisition Of the spell
binders tricks. But on Saturday he
tackled revenue and taxation and the
average mans interest In that dry-as-
dust subject with skill and simplicity
little short OF fascinating. A school
child could almost have understood the
secretarys analysis Of the operations
Of the Treasury. and just how, and
why, 1t executes it,. duties. That Il
art In public speaking. 1t is high
art over the radio, for the brcadcaster
cannot "applesauce" the vast invisible
audience. He must deal In brass tacks.
Mr.. Mellon specialized In such.

TO the magical point where broad
caster cannot only be seen. but can see.
Secretary Mellon would assuredly have
glimpsed O myriad Of happy counte-
naces when he foreshadowed future tax
policy. Ize pleaded in particular for
cutting Earned income" assessments as
soon as revenue permits. He urged such
aid to the small taxpayer. whenever
possible, as a sound principle. 'os
Mr.. Mellon harked back TO one Of his
earliest reports to Congress, submitted
In. 1923. when 'the Treasury" as he
modestly put 1t, said this:
The fairness Of taxing more lightly
income from wages. salaries and pro-
fessional services than the income from
q business or from investment Is be-
yond question. In the FIRST case, the
income Is uncertain and limited in du-
ration Sickness or death destroys 1t
and old age diminishes 1t. In the other,
the source Of income continues. 1t may
be disposed of during mans life and
1t descends to his heirs.
There have been few state papers In
our time more to the point, more hu-
man in their appeal or more stimulat-
ing to popular thought and devotion
to the American form Of Government
than Secretary Melons radio talk. 1t
is significant and wholesome thing
that men in high Government places
are ready to take advantage Of the mi
crophone and its illimitable possibilities.
If they can contrive to perform on the
wave lengths with the dramatic direct
ness Of our veteran Secretary of the
Treasury, they will render public serv-
ice worthy OF ranking with anything
they may do in the formal execution Of
their oficial duties, no matter how i'm
portant these may be.
Popular government like ours rests
on popular knowledge Of and confidence
in 1t. When men Of Melons rank turn
the light on its functions, and turn It
on as he does, 1t is altogether probable
that the American brand Of democracy
will be able to withstand any shocks it
Is ever likely to suffer.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

No President of the United States
ever had 1.-THE so good right to en-
tertain children at the White House for
Easter egg rolling, or any other pur-
pose, as Herbert Hoover. Children come
pretty close to being Hoover's hobby.
None Of his innumerable war-relief ac-
tivities enlisted quite so much OF his
enthusiasm as the European children's
relief, as it was officially called. 1t was
the one American philanthropy over
seas after the arrnistice that Hoover in
sisted should be financed wholly in the
United States, irrespective of what Eu-
rope might do to help itself in other
directions. A year or two ago, in pri-
vate address reviewing Americas work
in Old World restoration, Hoover said:
"One general principle we laid down
from the outset. That was that every
single government and community in
Europe should repay to the American
mitted. If they could not pay on the
spot, they should enter into an obliga-
ton to repay at some later date. But
where saving the lives of children was
concerned, We agreed that not only
would America carry this burden, but
its very organization required action in
dependent from governments.

From somebody who knows there
comes to this observer a diverting yarn
about how John Coolidge met his
fiancee, Florence Trumbull, daughter of
the Governor of Connecticut. John was
coming back from Amherst on a certain
occasion and every once in q while
made his way to the rear platform of
the train to smoke a cigarette. The
second or third time he started aft, he
found that somebody's private car had
been hitched on, and when young Cool
idge tried the door, a husky who turned
out to be o member of the Connecticut
state constabulary not only blocked the
way, but became tolerably rough. John
related his experience good-naturedly to
the secret service man who then looked
after him. Thereupon the operative
made his way to the private car and
explained to the f1abbergasted State
policeman that he'd jostled the son Of
the President of the United States.
The dutiful bluecoat reported the Incl
dent in more or less terror to Gov.
Trumbull-whose car it was. John

Just then another gust Of wind took
the apple OF our eye from the roadbed,
just as 1t was about to be massacred
by small car Of popular make, and
deity lifted 1t as high as the house.
Up, up 1t went, whirling around and
around. AS we watched our mounting

ever gone, except that time we saw 1t
wrapped around package of lunch
carried by a lady to the top OF the
Washington Monument.
and we were about to bid 1t good-by,
when the wind suddenly shifted, and 1t
came sailing back again.
This time 1t went scudding due east,
carried along at about the height Of
the lamps in the lamp posts.
Taking o dart downward, 1t swept
squarely for the fat lady's head. II it

AS the paper was about to slap the
lady in the face. another eddy caught
1t. and it went flying away In q nor
easterly direction.

its pumps, and its khaki-clad attend
paper whirled downward into the side
of a car.
There were two nice-looking girls in
the car. or, rather, one was In the
car and the other was standing on the
running board
BY this time the paper had, to us,
taken on aspects Of humanity, almost.
It was a living, vital thing, flying
around the world, meeting disasters and
rising triumphant against them

ana We held our breath. What would
happen now? There was something
more involved here than just a flying
piece of paper-it was our paper.
Now was the great moment We
had "hunch," as newspaper men say,
that something was going to happen,
but just what was difiicult to say.
And then it happened, and you can
believe this or not, just as you please,
and just as Is the right of every reader.
The pretty young lady on the run
ming board-they are always pretty, Of
course-leaned over and picked up the
sheet.
1t was pretty dirty, but she didn't
seem to mind. Taking out dainty
handkerchief, she brushed of the dust,
and held up the paper.
Getting back into the car, she began
to fold the sheet of paper, and we
could have blessed her from where we
stood, for we had folded this page that
way ourself, and knew what she was
doing.
