The Kreuger Disclosures

The farther the investigation into the affairs of
the late War Kreuger is pushed the more astounding

The disclosure that the famous match king" had
personal debts and indirect liabilities or more than

In second childhood, the teeth

such as is given to a child.
Artificial dentures enable the
elderly to eat food that is hard and

The elderly should keep this fact
in mind and not overload a deficient

teeth but not, as yet, artificial
stomachs.

THE senate could argue for a

as to whether a 10 per cent tax on
tires and tubes was exactly right, or
whether it ought not TO be reduced

We Have Been Dd1Cdling
With This Depression for
Nearly Three Years, With
out Result.
NEW YORK, May 26.-First, the
IN senate votes a 10 per cent tax
on auto tires and tubes. Then.
changing front within the space Of
hours, it reduces the tax to ~
certs a pound on tires and 4 cents
a pound on tubes.
The change means a loss Of some
$20.O00,000 in prospective revenue,
wherefore, the senate restores the
tax on cosmetics, which it previously
had eliminated.
Such action reveals the senate as
not only uncertain Of its ground,
but as wasting time in useless
argument.
Men have spent 5000 years try
ing to determine what tax system
was best and how TO be- fair with
respect TO details. About every plan
has been tried and rejected.
After all the discussing, analyzing,
and experimenting, the civilized
world is unable to agree whether
a real estate tax is better than an
income tax, or single land tax is
better than sales tax.
Under such circumstances, the
idea of trying to be perfect with
regard to a thousand and one de-
tails is ridiculous.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

WE are informed that DR.. John Watson eminent
Wv behaviorist, is giving his two small ample
opportunity to fathom the vagaries Of the oppo-
site
These little fellows are not going to be taken in
by feminine wes later If their father can help it.
They are encouraged to regard nudity from critical
point of view and to think of girls as very ordinary
creatures.
For behaviorist this is uncommon good sense.
And it is to be hoped that the small Watsons will
profit thereby. But the chances are they won't.
There is nothing so futile as making plans for
about your children. Indeed 1t seems to me that
this takes away from their essential charm What
satisfaction, for instance, does lawyer get merely
by training his son to become another lawyer This
is the kind Of thing that marks the tiresomeneSs Of
the adult.
The only real fun in having a family is that one
never is just how it will turn out. It is the
unexpectedness Of your children that makes them
fascinating and that constitutes the very lure Of life
itself
ITO tell the truth, most parents lack Imagination
and the spirit of adventure about their children.
They always setting up rules and evolving plans
for them to follow. A father seldom is content to
watch the development Of a cllilds personality be-
he is engroSSed in shaping it into the thing
ne believes it should become.
He is so taken up with his precious theories Of
training that he fails to thrill over the stupendous
fact that the very young child is distinctly different
individual from other young children.
parent always should be at hand for advice and
counsel, but outside of this he IS more often a
hindrance than help 20 his children.
No individual spring from infancy into full
hedged maturity. We all must go exploring into the
enchanted forest Of adolescence and each must go
alone. None can take parents word for that
experience.
We have had slight luck, believe, in instilling
into children proper consideration for the rights
eede to them their own.

Centuries ELAPSED

THE amount of earth which had
Il accumulated over the spear
point and animal bones found by
Howard would indicate that many
centuries had elapsed between their
burial and the coming Of the Basket
Maker culture.
Authorities also point out the sig
niicance Of the finding Of the bondl
of the musk-ox as far south as
Texas.
Such animals today are restricted
to the circumpolar region, the herds
grazing on the tundra at the edge
Of the Arctic.
The finding of the bones in Texas.
suggests that the animal must have
grazed there in the day when most
of North America was covered with
the ice-sheet.
At that time, Texas might have
been a tundra on the edge OF the
ice.
Settler this summer will start In
the southern part of the Big Bend
region Of Texas, few miles from
the Rio Grande, and work north
up the Pecos toward the Guadalupe
mountains.
This is all billy and mountainous
country, with numerous caves-both
limestone and caverns in the sedi-
mentary rock and big gas pockets in
the volcanic rocks.
Last year, in one cave in this re-
gion, he found a few remnants of
an ancient Indian culture which
Psychologists have been unable to

der such circumstances, the teeth
may be taken out, rinsed in cold
water (the mouth also may be
ri1l<ed with cold water) and the
dentures replaced.
If they are left out of the mouth,
any irritated place on the ridges or
tissues may swell, which may make
it difficult or impossible to put the
teeth back in the mouth.
The average mouth and gums
may be difficult to keep clean, be-
cause of tenderness. The person
with artificial dentures may keep
his teeth clean because he can take
them out and clean them with a
special tooth brush that is sitter
and stronger than the ordinary
tooth brush.
Tartar will gather on artificial
teeth Just as it does on natural
teeth.

Spear Heads

covered evidence Of an old civiliza-
ton, a civilization older than that
Of the Basket Makers, previously
considered the oldest in America.
This ancient civilization appears
to have fiouriShed at the time when
the animals of the region were
changing from those forms preva-
lent during the Glacial Age to the
modern forms.
The identity Of this ancient people
is puzzle. They appear to have
fiourished for a while and then van
ished, to be followed, at a much later
time, by the earliest Basket Makers.
To date, the evidence of this early
civilization has rested entirely upon
peculiar type Of spear point, the
so-called Folsom type. found as
ISOLATED with bones OF extinct ami
mails.
In his present search, Settler will
devote his major efforts to the
search for human bones.
His search receives encourage
ment from the finding made last
fall by Edgar B. Howard, archeolo-
gist of the Pennsylvania museum.
Howard, excavating a cave Just
across the New Mexico line, found
the Folsom type spear head asso-
ciated with bones of an extinct bison
and musk-ox. This was in a layer
of earth approximately four feet
below a stratum which represented
the earliest level Of Basket Maker
culture.
Many authorities consider the
finding of this spear point as al
most positive evidence that human
beings were in this country at the
same time that the animals of the
Ice Age hourished.

it is incompetent to enforce the
prohibition law as written IN the
Constitution, or, that it is double
crossing the people, in that it IS not
trying; or it should know in twelve
years trial whether it may or may
not be enforced and so should de-
clare.

publicans will caucus and confer,

Anthropologists Clash on
Vie10 Of Who Settled Amer
lea, and When.
by DAVID DIETZ-

A N archeologist Of the Smith
1 y sonian Institution will explore
the black caverns Of western Texas
this summer IN an attempt to trail
the oldest Americans. He is Frank
NJ. Settler.
One Of the riddles Of anthro-
pology is the settling Of America.
There are two schools Of thought.
One, championed by DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka. famous anthropologist
claims that man has been on the
American continent less than $4,000
years, perhaps only 10000.
DR.. Hrdlicka, after many expe-
ditions into Alaska and northeast
ern Siberia. believes that the orig
inal Indians entered the American
continent BY way Of Alaska, cross
ing over from Siberia via the Ber-
ing strait.
The other school believes that
man has been in America at least
$4,000 years, since the close OF The
glacial age. There are even some
authorities who insist that man has
been on this continent for as long
as 100000 years. But the holders
Of this view are in the minority.
Settler, while he thinks the view
that the first Indians entered
America by way of Alaska may be
correct, nevertheless hopes to estab-
lish that man has been on this con-
tinent since the close of the glacial
age, a period of $4,000 years or SO.

MILWAUKEE, May 26.-I have
wi been a reporter at political
conventions, but this week, at the
National Socialist convention here,
I served for the first time as a
delegate. 1 think it's better to be a
reporter.
Almost always it is difficult to
sleep at a convention. I mean in
your room at the hotel. When you
want to go to bed you generally OBJ
serve that there are six or seven
other reporters sitting around. 1
generally make it point of asking
them whether they are tired. They
answer that they never felt better
in their lives. This makes it difficult.
But a delegate is little worse OF.
When he tries to go to bed there
are five reporters in the room ana
six or seven fellow delegates. Some
of the reporters do not like some OF
the delegates. and it works the other
way round. But none Of them IS
tired.

CTILL I should not complain.
= There are consultations. Nobody
ever interviews a newspaper man,
but here in Milwaukee a delegate
can get himself misquoted in al
most any paper.
Probably nothing much happens
in the city. 1t has no gangs ana
very little crime, and so the local
reporters get lonely and come
around to ask delegates what they
think of prohibition and Karl Marx
and bimetallism.

camera men if you loaf around the
lobby long enough. That hasn't
worked for me yet.
