SOME PEOPLE HAVE SOUND
TEETH YET THEY NEVER BRUSH
,CM

All I know is what read in the
clippings. This particular clipping
purports to be by Morris Gilbert, and
1t is copyright by New York Evening
Post, Inc. and bears the dateline
London, March 10. For all know 1t
may be some deep laid plot to get
me in Dutch somewhere, but it is so
good that 1 can't let it pass without
commenting on it.
The item tells of the annual visit
of the supply ship from Cape Town
to lonely island in the South At
lantic named Tristan da Cunha, with
supplies, mail. and various official
inspectors On the island there are
1853 inhabitants. One of the official
inspectors was a dental inspector, the
president of the Dental Society of the
Cape Province.
This expert examined the teeth Of
l56 of the inhabitants in the two
days the ship remained at the island.
and found no less than 13l persons
ranging in age from few months to
80 years, with teeth entirely free from
decay. teeth he was constrained to
regard as perfect.
Now according to the dental hy-
giene that is accepted as scientific
and sound by the dentists of this
country and by millions of the laity,
two fundamentals are necessary if
you hope to have good teeth. First,
you must brush your teeth quite regu-
larly. and second you must include a
considerable proportion Of hard tack
or rough food in your diet, things
that require some chawing to exercise
and harden your teeth and gums
Most old time dentistS-and most
dentists seem to be old timers about
this-hold that the massage of the
gums is the main feature in brush
ing the teeth. and they generally con-
cede that if a person were to subsist
entirely on raw vegetables, fruits
whole cereals, etc., the gnawing ano
grinding of these foods might keer
the teeth clean and sound without
any brushing. But they always imply
that such a diet is not feazible FOL
civilized man.
These inhabitants of Tristan ds
Cunha are the answer to all thi.
baloney the dentists have been pass
| ing out here in America. AS MI
Moore, the inspector quoted, says
In no case did the examiners flint
an islander who had ever cleaned hi
teeth"
Somehow that reminds me of an
tithetic statement which is publishe.
by dentists in America from time Il
time, to the effect that perfect teetl
are never found in this country
where toothbrushes are positively d.
rigueur.
These islanuers with the astoniSh
ingly good teeth do not subsist OF
hard or rough foods at all. tn
staples of their diet are precisely tn
things we are trying to persuade PEG
pie to eat and feed their children il
this country-milk. eggs, potatoe
and fish. They eat meat on holi
days. They use some refined flour
tea and other groceries" while thes

The Travelling Man

Inc 1ravenng man
Heroes of the grip" is more thar
a facetious phrase judging by the
stories of hardship which are being
related by many travelling men as the
result of the bad weather which has
enveloped the state during the last
few weeks.
During that period these ambassa-
doris of business have been stuck in
the mud and snow, have been forced
to seek accommodation at roadside
farm houses and have endured more
than their share Of distresses.
But the manner in which they
have met and conquered these OBJ
stacles gives one an idea of the tenn
per of these apostles of better times
Their work requires them to travel
and they have done so, even though
public transportation services found
it difficult to carry on in some cases.
At his worst, the unskilled travel
ing man can be a pest and a bore.
At his best the travelling man is a
harbinger Of hope, distributor of
new ideas, perennial optimist.
Many a merchant traces his success
to the constructive suggestion of
some friend ION the road"
There are those who say that mod
ern business conditions and practices
are reducing the number of travelling
men. That may be true but we hope
that this hardy race will continue to
live on. We believe they will. The
spirit with which they battle storm
and difficulty gives renewed faith in
hem.

Germany's Struggle

There is intense world interest in
Germanys struggle for equality of
armament. In fact world peace seems
to be menaced in the reluctance of
some nations, especially Japan, to
limit ornaments.
But Germany's position stands out
in interest over that of any other
world power.
With other nations about her free
to arm, Germany is rigidly restricted
to the limits as laid down by the Ver-
sailles treaty.
Those who visit Germany see many
childish and foolish DEGREES of Yer
sailles carried out to ridiculous
limit. In some art galleries certain
pictures are turned to the wall. These
works of art depict largely German
victories in the Franco-Prussian war
following which Bismarck drove a
bitter bargain with the French. Tour
lists smile but in such reprisals hate
and resentment are fostered.
This and several generations of the
French people will continue to hate
Germany. Leaders may seek concil-
iatory policies toward the defeated
but the French people will long re-
member the ravages Of the World war.
That is but human.
Such resentment initiates against
re -uction Of ornaments on the part
Of the Allies in the great war. These
nations are still too near to that con-
flict to consider German demands for
greater ornaments. 0ermany's army
Is reduced to 100000 men and no re-
serves can be trained. Germany in
military power is outnumbered by her
neighbors about 70 to one.
Napoleon crushed Prussia and re-
stricted her army to $4,000 men. But
Prussia came back, for her leaders
passed into rapid training her entire
man-power simply by reducing the
term Of military service so that while
the army was at no time more than
the treaty permitted, yet thousands
passed yearly into the reserves. force

THE HOOTERS GOAL
For 20 years, the Palace has been
variety's Olympus. Martin Beck,
who built it, interests himself at the
moment in the Abbey Players from
Ireland, among other things. Beck,
one of the fathers of vaudeville in
America, had come from Czecho-
slovakia and settled in San Francisco.
There the variety type of entertain
ment grew out of the combination
beer hall-theater and became the
Orpheum Circuit. It was only after
he had established himself as ,
theater figure that he came East and
built the Palace.

of having shot and killed Salvatore

cribed Arena as an anti-fascist work.

was a fascist, belonging to the Ho-
boksn Section of the Fascist FEEDER
alton Members of this organization
participated in the Garibaldi COM
memoration organized by the Sons
of Italy, it is reported.
The bloody collisions at Rosebank,
in front of the Garibaldi house, de-
veloped when sincere and well-mean-
ing anti-fascist workers called to par
ticipate in an "anti-fascist" comme-
moration of the Italian General, we're
stirred into action by the provoking
appearance of members of the Fas-
cist Federation with their black
standards.
The anti-fascist workers who did
not forget the bloody and murder
GUS deeds of the fascists in Italy,
where hundreds of proletarian fight
ers and communists were murdered,
resented the appearance of the fas-
cists as a challenge.
They had been called to participate
in an alleged "anti-fascist" CONNIE
moration of Garihaldi, by Carlo
Tresca and other social-fascists. A
worker who was present at the de-
monstration reports the following ex-
ample of the adventurous nature of
Tresca.
The Police Inspector detailed to
protect the Sons of Italy during their
commemoration, with hundreds of
uniformed policemen and plain
clothes men, told Tresca that he
would held him responsible for any
thing that might happen. With his
habitual anarchist courage, Tresca re-
torted: mo, am an indiyidualist;
I am responsible only for myself"
1t is reported that a united front
movement is on foot to smash the
police attempt to railroad the anti
fascist worker Lista on a framed-up
charge. All workers are urged to
support this movement.
