 The securities exchange com mission is giving the heads of the New York Stock Exchange many new experiencesI
 When the securities exchange commission announced it's in- tention of making first-h hand examination of the New York Stock Market, executives of the latter hastened to extend warm welcome.
 Massive, sonorous Ric h ar d Whitney, president of the ex- change, was particularly eager. With characteristic solemnity he announced: 7
 "Gentlemen, we will be very happy to receive you. We are anxious to make your stay as pleasant not only while you visit the exchange. but afterwards as we'll"

The Star-Spangled Banner has just eel ebrated it's 120th anniversary. It was written by Francis Scott Key during the bombardment of Baltimore by the British troops on September IA, 18814. Incident ally if you have any arguments about the, song, you can settle them promptly. Con- fress on March 3, 1881, passed an act de- claring the Star-Spangled Banner our national anthem. An authorized version of it also puts the air in an octave low enough so that the average singer can top all the high notes without bursting the larynx.

Selected Poem
BOARDING FOR WINTER

(Martha Banning-Thomas in The Christian
 Science Monitor) Remember white phlox of this evening, Fragrant and dim, Clustered like moths on these garden spires; Remember the great. green moon, Swelling with light By the spruce in the pasture; Remember round apples, Merry and red Hanging from boughs in the orchard Remember the hay on the meadows The flat blue sword of the river lying between Dark mountains; Remember-that snow in the winter Is white as the phloX Of this evening.

Policing The Big Strike

The President was well advised in aE- nouncing, after careful consideration, that he would not call out federal troops in the Rhode Island textile strike area except as a last resort. The protection of property and life, in an industrial dispute or any other crisis, is first of all the duty of local and state authorities. When police, sher- ifs and national guard fail to preserve order and safety, it is time to consider the use of government forces.
 This is not only orderly procedure, but sound psychology. Rushing federal troops with machine guns and gas bombs to the scene of labor trouble without proved ne cessity would aggravate discontent and public alarm. Even in the excited strike areas, calmness and council are needed more than force. Mobs of "Hoodlums" can probably be handled without formal warfare So can Communists and their sympathizers. There is not yet Red army in the field. Union leaders have dis claimed responsibility for violence. There has been no evidence that the strikers are arming.
 Winter, too, is coming There are indi- cations of a winter that will try American souls. There may or may not be an epi- demic of industrial strikes, but there is likely to be great suffering and discon- tent. Wise authorities, civil and military, will not go out of their way to start trou- ble or add fuel to flames. The people in- volved are nearly all Americans. Let these disorders be handled in an American way = not Russian or Prussian way.

The recent republican convention spelled the defeat of one prominent leader, while promoting the interests of several others. Harry Mackenzie, the Fairfield county political boss, was among those to fall by the wayside. We wonder if he will be able to maintain his prestige in Hartford as he has in the past There never was an idle day for Harry. He went easily from one political job to another Latterly he has been employed at the State Capitol in Hartford. But now he'll have to scramble around bit.. On the other hand the political stars of Judge Raymond Johnson, State Agent Raymond Gates, and Howard Alcorn, son of the g.op. non1i- nee, are in their ascendancy. This vieing for J. Henry's crown of leadership is get ting to be a serious business among the republicans.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
'6y Alicia Hart EE

A womans charm and gracious ness often are judged by the way she sits. The great beauties of the world radiate a certain boise and dignity as they sink into comfort able chairs, lean back and sip their tea. It is an enviable accom- plishment, that of knowing how to grace a drawing room.
 First, the truly poised people have undoubtedly learned how to breathe. DoNyou know that deep breathing, done correctly, is one sure cure for self-consciousness And that once his bug-bear is eliminated, graciousness and boise come much easier? Let us con- slider the inhaling of oxygen into the lungs.
 You should breathe deeply, fill- ing the lungs to their very bottoms. Shallow breathing is not only bad for health but does not make for boise. Sit comfortably but straight in your chair. chest high, chin up and stomach pulled in. If you're embarrassed when sitting down among laughing group of strang- CTS, breathing deeply will help you to regain your boise.
 The recovery will be speeded up. too, if you think less about your self. Self-consciousness usually is prevalent among persons who think too much in terms of 'I."

, challenged. The other servants were careful not to say anything they had reason to feel he would | dislike.
 Having made his way through a fringe of scraggly. under-nourished fir trees, Pablito found himself looking at the beginning of the party.
 The setting was more dazzling than he had dreamed it could be, in spite of his knowledge of tropic nights and their power, even un- aided, to enchant. He did not at first see the one for whom he was looking. Doubt less she was standing somewhere in corner looking on, little shy and conscious of her bare legs and feet.
 The music fiared forth then and up the beach he saw dancing on the huge platform that had been erected for that purpose.
 A girl in a Spanish costume and a man in the costume of torea- dor strolled through the crowd about this time. The girl walked too well. There was a rhythmic un- dulation of her shoulders, sinuous sway of her hips that made one of the New York guests think of small salon with gray walls and se- date draperies where manikins paraded to display French cos tunes.
 "Clever, that!" the woman said admiringly, as she looked after the girl and the stocky short man be- side her. Fancy the wit that would make one disguise ones walk"
 Her companion shook his head, smiling a little. "Field has all sorts of friends" he said. "She may not be disgusting her walk after all!"
 The girl who had passed them was saying anxiously to her com panion, "Do you know where he is now?"
 The man answered her with a sullen, "Yes."
 'Watcha goin' to di, Beau if he walks off with the best before we begin to comb the place?" she questioned in a whisper that was made shrill by nervousness.
 Mind your business, will you, and I'll tend to minei" the man re- sponded in an angry undertone. "If you must know it. he's goin' to leave it with us tonight! IT fix it some way. I generally can fix things when I hafta, can't I?"
 "Yes," the girl agreed, ,lifelessly. She knew that well.

him indeed seem the Spaniard who walks calmly into the ring smell ing of blood and dust, a short handled, keen-edged weapon in his quick, nervous hand.
 Pablito had not forgotten the dagger. He had plunged it into his sash so that only the hilt showed.
 Within little distance of the camp he heard music and stopped at the edge of stunted pine woods to adjust his mask. Sud- denly he had curious conviction that someone was nearby watching him, But he could see no one and went on quickly.
 After he had disappeared girls voice said, No one but floater would come from this way"
 A man answered her roughly. '1f anyone else is planning our little game he'll come out at the short end!"
 "What1l you do about it?''
 "Ill watch him. I had good look at him and if I see him again IT know him."
 The girl shivered from nervous ness. q don't like it," she said, T got a funny feeling, Beau The words seemed to have become a chant with her.
 The man answered by cursing her with sincere and deep feeling.
 Pablito knew how Estelle was going to be dressed. He had learn ed this from the maids who always approached him on the least ex- cuse to coquette and try to exact from him some slight show of in- terest. There was something about the youth which. coupled with his physical atractiveness, made him the target for concerted feminine advances.
 Estelle, he had been told, was to be a wood dryad. clothed in green and carrying musical pipes of the sort with which Pan is said to have disported. She, was to wear her hair hanging loose and bound with garland. Her feet and legs would be bare.
 One of the servants had begun to make comment about this cos tune but had halted it abruptly at a long and coldly appraising stare from Pablito's ployment at the camp there had been an occa- sion when he had laid low another servant named Zeke. Up until that moment Zeke, who had a quick, ungovernable temper, had had things very much his own way, thrashing anyone who disagreed with him. The affair had establish ed a reputation for the blond youth and after Pablito went his way un-

An examination of dental litera ture will prove that the dental profession is paying much attention to prevention.
 American dentists have earned world wide recognition for their ingenious dentistry. Examples of American removable and fixed bridgework, gold and porcelain in- lays have been praiseworthy. The development of the porcelain jack ct crown enabling dentists to cover a defective front tooth with na- tural looking crown was worthy accomplishment.
 To add to these, America can point to the work of many re- search workers who are attempt ing to answer the question: How can we prevent dental decay?'' Gradually the concept of proven tion is looming up prominently.
 There is No Panacea
 While present knowledge offers no panacea or cure-all for tooth decay, it has been pROved that a prenatal diet and properly selected food during the prenatal period ot life will produce sound teeth il , most people.
 When teeth develop with denta defects-and large proportion ot | people at present seem to have such teeth-frequent dental inspec. tion and treatment are indispen sible.
 Brushing teeth keeps them clear but do not depend on the bristle attached to a bone handle to builc teeth. Rely on scientifically chos ten foods to help produce a health!

| body as well as teeth to resist the process of decay.
 What About Diet?
 Is there a specific food that will guarantee healthy mouths? AS far as we know at present we can not depend on any one food to prevent dental decay.
 However, we can state that milk is the most important food. Die tetic authorities, therefore, pre- scribe a quart a day for every child and at least a pint for adults. Orange Njuice and tomato juice for their vitamin c content-is probably the second in importance, followed closely by cod liver oil and other VitamIn D foods.
 We must not fail to mention the necessity for putting the teeth to work. Eating coarse foods like apples or celery stimulate the cir culation of blood to and from teeth, aiding in their nourishment. Dis use contributes to the decline of tooth health in many mouths.
 Summarizing then: milk, fruits vegetables. whole grain cereals and exercise foods contribute handsomely to mouth health and aid in preventing dental disease.

HOW FAR AWAY IS FAR
 ENOIJ(SH?

Correspondent sends clippings
 from metropolitan newspapers in
 which an editorial writer com-
 ments on the health commission i CTS difficult admonitions about ! avoiding colds. For instance he says we ought to keep far away
 from persons who have colds.
 Easier said than done. His recom- mendation to take walks regularly for exercise is excellent, but the
 time approaches when we may ex-
 pect some pretty bad weather, when exposure might help give colds to some people not hardened
 to wet and wind."
 Very true, 1 find encouragement, however. Tn the health commission CTS bulletin, or whatever it was that aroused the editorial concern about the weather. The health commissioner courageously insert ed the word FAR in the admoni- tion. Tinted that it is wise to keep FAR from persons who have a communicable disease. At this rate, in another ten years, I dare say, some such creature of politics will become reckless and tell the peas- antry how far it is necessary to keep from the scoundrel who pur- ports to have what our eminent trick health authorities call cold. Then it will require only few years more to break it gently to the public that the danger is chiefly within range of the scoun- dreps conversational spray, which is less than five feet
 It is, as the editorial writer ob-
 served, easier said than done. not only in offices and subways, but on
 busseS and trains, at counters, at ticket windows and tells grilles, at soda fountains and across restau- rant tables, at the movies, in school in church, in the home. The only influence of bad weather on the oc-
 currence of conversational spray infection is that it tends to increase the chances of such infection, since it encourages people to huddle to- gether. .Especially people who are intimidated by the obsession that "exposure" in some mysterious way robs one of resistance. This
 plausible but meaningless theory persists in spite of the fact that no one can define or measure or esti- mate in advance such a state as "resistance'' in any specific case. It is perhaps confused in the slovenly mind with immunity, which is well defined, in some instances measur- able and positively practicable state but always specific-that is, it applies to some particular dis
 ease or infection, not to vague group of ailments such as the poli- ticians in medicine and health would have their imaginary resist ance" cover. Immunity to diph- theria, for instance, has nothing whatever to do with immunity to scarlet fever or pneurhonia or in- fantile paralysis. If you can con- ceive some mysterious state or in- fiuence which protects one against all of these respiratory infections
