Mastodons Of $4,000 Years
Ago Linked in Defective
Teeth OF arizona
Children.

It's long call from the mastodons
giant elephants who roamed over
North America $4,000 years ago-and
the teeth OF Arizona school children
but there appears to be a clear con-
nection reported from the Arizona ex-
pertinent station OF the Department OF
Agriculture.
A large number OF the inhabitants Of
che village of st. David. Arizona, had
a peculiar condition OF the teeth known
as mottled enamel. This was found In
every person whose permanent teeth
had been erupted in the locality. 1t
was finally traced to the drinking water,
mostly obtained from artesian wells.
Analysis showed this water to contain
an abnormal amount of the chemical
element fiuorine. The deeper the wells
the less fluorine.
Further research showed in the
vicinity of the village deposits of fos
Rilized mastodon bones and tusks. This
contained considerable quantities Of the
rare element. The conclusion was that
the long dead animals constituted at
least one source of the impurity in the
water that affected the children's teeth
with a presumably incurable defect.

George ]. Adams Urges Citi-
zens of Columbia Heights
to Support Move.

Support by citizens on all move

sentation was urged last night by
George j. Adams in an address be-
fore the Citizens Forum of Columbia
Heights. meeting in the Wilson Teach
ers' College.
The population of Washington is
larger than that of seven States, Mr..
Adams said, and the District pays a
larger amount of taxes than number
of States. It also led eight States in
the amount of men sent to the World
War and has many other reasons why
the citizens should have a free hand
in the United States Government, he
argued.
Approximately $50 persons attended
the get-together dinner which was held
by the association preceding the meet
ing.
Free transfers between street cars
and buses was urged in another reso-
luton adopted. Announcement was
made that organization of the North
Washington Citizens Joint Committee
had been completed and is ready to
function. Representing the Citizens
Forum on the committee are H. C..

said "the present depression was caused
principally by the failure of industry to
pay wages in proportion to the wealth

Some of those who reaped inordinate
profits during the so-called period of
prosperity are now endeavoring to force
labor to bear the burden of the en-
ployers' unsound and uneconomic busi-
ness policies" the department said.
The federation itself and President
Green of the organization have said
that labor would resist any attempts at
general wage reductions.
Secretary Doak of the Labor Depart
ment reported he had no information
that general reductions were contem-
plated, but added the administration
would consider such action violation
of faith, since employers and employees
