CCIENCE has made significant
~ discovery. The cause of dull,
discolored teeth is found to be the
chief cause of serious tooth and
gum disorders. That cause is a
film that forms on teeth.
You can feel film with your
tongue - a slippery coating. 1t
clings to teeth, absorbs stains from
food and smoking, and turns white
teeth "off color" Germs by the
millions breed in it, and they, plus
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.

The three great Pacific powers
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan-are at present involved in a
complicated embroglio, with counter
plots, quiet diplomacy and plain ordi-
nary hardfeelings dominating the
proceedings, and with the chance of
armed conflict in the offing..
AS Raymond Leslie Buell. recently
pointed out in a feature article in the
New York Times, the three power
navy discussions, now going on in
London, have cached an impasse be-
cause of disagreement over three vital
issues:
First, the military question, involv-
ing Japan's demand for naval parity
with Great Britain and America 1.-THE
present ratio is 5-5-3, with Nippon
on the short end);
Second, the political question, in
volving Japan's ambition to expand
into Asia;
Third, the commercial question, in
volving the expansion Of Japanese
foreign trade. at the expense Of Eng
land and the United States.
Japan has flatly refused to contin-
ue the existing naval ratio-she de.
mands parity and threatens to sigr
no more treaties, when the present
one runs out in 1886. unless It If civ.
en- her. Both England and the u. S.
are afraid to agree to pacity-ret
each nation knows that if Japan starts
building ships, undeterred by treaties
they will have to follow. The result
would be a gigantic naval race, cost.
ing hundreds of millions of dollars
and i~nceasing the chances for war.
Once a nation newly develops a first
class naval or military machine, it is
Inevitably eager to try it out on SONS
adversary.
As for the second issue, Japan't
desire to take I'VE part Of Asia may
be explained in two words: Iron; oil
No nation can be a major power with.
out these commercial I'D military es'
sentials. and Japan at present must
obtain al her steel and oil from
abroad If she could control the
great, undeveIoped iron mines anl
oil fields Of Nanchuria she would b
in a much stronger and safer position

Sam K, Greenleaf Appoints Arthur McCaw

Japan needs new territory in
order to provide space for its people
she is vastly overpopulated at pres
emit. However. the Japanese are
poor colonizers-they seem to pos
sess little pioneering instinct. For
example, some years ago Japanese
officials made a determined effort to
send emigrants to Korea. They of
fered substantial payment. both in
land and in cash, to those who would
go. Yet only a handful Of the under
fed. underpaid, overworked Japanese
peasants were willing to take on the
job. AS a result, it seems certain
that colonization is a comparatively
small item in Nippon's ambition to
move eastward. .
The third issue. that Of commerce,
is one Of the most irksome. It's a
well known fact that the japanese
are poor innovators-but magnificent
imitators.. If someone starts manu-

as good or almost as good, at a frae-
ton Of the price. Between 1881 and
1888. Japan increased her world ex-
ports Of rayon yarn by 322 per cent;
her exports of wooden yarn by 514
per cent; her exports Of wooden piece
goods by 1888 per cent. In addition,
she is sending othe products into the
world market, TO be sold at prices
American and English manufacturers
cannot meet. This is partly due to
japanese efficiency-and largely due
to low wages, depreciation of the yen
and long worrying hours. The Japan
csc worker puts in between 55 and 60
hours a week-and all major indus
tries have been formed into cartels
and trusts, to lower costs. It seems
certain that a trade war will develop
befora long7already both England
and the United States have put w
tariff barriers to lessen the inn
ports of certain Japanese products
However, Japan is a good customer
of both countries-and it is obviuo:
that If her exports are cut off, she
viii retaliate by reducing her i'm,
ports.
That is the Pacific question as j
now stand, and all the disagreement
in London over the naval treaty re-
volve around these. three issues. Il
is an important fact that, under
Japan's form Of government, the
ARMY and navy are not subject to tn,
control of the Diet-they are respons
ible solely to the "Son of Heaven
Japan's m~uch-beloved young Emper
Or Thus, it would be possible fol
Japanese government officials to tall
resoundingly in favor of world peace
while Japanese troops and ship
set out for war.

SAYS oath Street
Is Traffic Hazard

Chief of the Police Department
Robt. p. Samardick
929 S. AZ St.
Omaha, Nebr.
Dear Mr.. Samardick:
I took it up with Mr.. Allen, at the
time he was chief of this department,
in regards to the traffic on oath street
following several accidents that oc-
Cured. At that time / asked for
slow down signs between Grace and
Burdette Streets. These streets are
sr narrow, and those passing some
times fail to see cars coming or going
when coming from behind parked
cars. They stated that in front OF
the theatre there sholld be no parked
cars. I could not see the benefit OF
this. This was started but not con-
tinued. In NOSE communities where
streets are narrow coming into q
highway, there are stop signs.
For the protection Of the public ]
would suggest and think it advisable,
between Cunning and Maple streets. to
put stop signs in the streets entering
oath street.
There have bern eight people killed
in the past two years which accidents
I believe could have been avoided If
this section had had more protection
Regardless Of how large or how small
one may be, ones life is worth every
thing to him, and once destroyed can.
not be replaced.
This is food for thought, and I an
asking that we will receive coopera
ton to the extent that something will
m~aterialize that will be beneficial K
this section.
Thanking you very much.
