One TACT new to police was
brought out. Mrs. Schildhauer said
that on the afternoon preceding her
husbands death she kept an APP
pointment with Bradberry, meeting
him briefly in the county building,
where he was employed as a deputy.
She denied fatty Stege'S question
as to whether Bradberry was one
of the men whom she saw kidnap
her husband.
Police started a hunt for a
nickel-plated revolver which maid
in the Schildhauer home reported
she had seen in a bureau drawer.
They also engaged a force of
twenty-five unemployed men to
hunt in the vicinity where Schild-
hauers body was found in a belief
that killers might have tossed away
the weapon nearby.

contract with the Anglo-Per-

result Of pressure brought by
foreign interests.
Instead, the shah declared, he
had left the door open wide for
negotiations with the company, but,

government-W which controls the
company-had presented the mat

Chicago. "A plant that allegedly pre-.
vents tooth decay has just been
brought to the Smithsonian institution
by DR.. W.. A. Archer. American bota-
mist and explorer of the rain-drenclred
jungles of the Choco region of north
western Colombia. The plant was
identified as new species Of Schra-
dera, a member of the coffee family.
1t is being described as new species
by p. c. Standley of the Field museum,
the recognized authority on this fam
lily. Archer found it in use among the
hitherto almost unknown Citara tribe
of Choc0 Indians.

over the teeth. Adults chew them
about twice a year to restore any
wornoff partslof the film.

/ Whether the plant does all that is
claimed for it. Archer says. cannot be.
determined without extensive investi-
cation. 1t is a fact, he claims, that
the Citara have almost perfect teeth.
Skulls of past generations also show
Intact teeth with Sno signs of decay.
/ Even If some substance derived
from the plant should prove a perfect
thyprcservative there is one slight
drawback to its introduction in dental
practice-it turns the teeth almost jet
black. Among the Citara, however,
black teeth are considered objects OF
beauty and white teeth would be
viewed almost as deformity. And.

1t is only the little man who trou-
bles himself to be avenged, who tries
to get even with friend or an OPP
ponent against whom he has some
grievance, actual or imagined. The
great man has too much to occupy his
time and attention to waste his ener-
gies In plotting revenge.
When Clayton was in college thirty
years ago or so he and Brown, his
roommate, were candidates for the
same undergraduate Office. There was
nothing in the position but little
short-lved honor. In reality the game
was not worth the candle. Clayton
was, his friend thought, not quite
fair; and ever since he has been try
ing in one way or another to get even
with Clayton. He cannot forget the
trifllng incident. 1t has embittered
his whole existence. The great man
forgets and goes on to higher things.
