The Cherry
~ Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
We tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly. IS.

Christmas approaches, coming fast,
as it always does at this time of
year.
Christmas means many things to
many people, nothing. to many others.
To the mother Of five children,
evicted from a company owned textile
mill house in South Carolina it means
one more day of struggle, perhaps
with reflections upon certain gross in
equities.
Have you, dear reader, ever seen
company-owned mill house in tex
tile village?
Chic Sale builds better than most
mill companies build, and Chic builds
only for part-time occupancy.
Christmas may mean good feast,
plenty Of present and an easy con-
science to the owner of the mill, but
if there can be an easy conscience
within maker Of eviction orders then
there might as well be none at ALL
OF course for the nation as whole
this Christmas is better than last,
but the better condition is somewhat
a superficial condition. It may be
destroyed or it may be foundation
for more progress.
Just now the increased buying
power is not based upon any struc-
tural improvement in the economic
vehcile. It moves more easily because
q little grease has been put on an
axle, not because the wheels have been
aligned.
Many things must be done before
another Christmas or this fleeting
glimpse at reviving prosperity may be
washed into a deeper gulf than that
from which we have been trying to
climb.
It is good time for reflection,
especially with congress coming
along as New Years celebrant.
One good thing has come to the
wage earners during these past
months. Their movement has been
strengthened and their labor press has
grown much stronger.
The labor press is immensely
stronger and better. There are
many high in the councils of the
movement who still fail to recog-
nize the great value of the labor
press, but it is one of the most po-
tent arms of the movement.
The first thing wanted when a con-
flict starts is the printed word-a
newspaper. Nothing takes it's place.
And no other medium takes the
message to the rank and file and to the
non-unionist regularly throughout the
year half as efficiently or tenth as
cheaply.
The labor press is better and strong
er, thank you. Let that good work
continue.
This is no review of the year. This
is but bit of a chat as the great
holiday draws near.
Almost all big food companies can
rejoice because their dividends have
been fat, though plenty of Americans
have had insufficient food. That
doesn't concern directors, of course.
1t concerns the victims, however.
Utility corporations, too, have had
a good year and they are lining up
to defeat extension Of the IVA idea.
That field is too good to give up with
out struggle.
Santa Claus will have a big load
to carry to certain kinds of people.
To ten millions of unemployed and
to twice that many who are underpaid
he can go only to give hand empty
of everything except perhaps a
friendly grip.

II May BE an Irritation

TN this instance the usual vigilane profession of
fidelity to the Constitution is forgotten. Under
graduates who do not for DR.. RObinson's devo-
ton the system of NIusSOlini to be expelled
from the country by no warrant which is mentioned
Indeed even criticism Of this militarstic educator
Is construed treason to the United States 1 know
OF nothing in the Constitution which places any col
lege president in such a sanCtifed position.
But the same attitude is taken in the case of re-
cent student demonstrations in the University of
California at Los Angeles Here the issue is COM
pulSOry military training. Now there certainly
millions Of American men and women who always
have felt that it perfectly possible to be both
patriotic and at the time utterly opposed to
compulsory military training in the colleges. Mrs
Caroline ODay. for instance. who has won the sup
port of Mrs. Roosevelt is openly and earnestly
against the system
But DR.. Ernest Carroll Moore provost of the uni

criticises the r. o. T. c. is a red. There is no
choice" SAYS Mr. Moore The student must support

bent bringing revolution and chaos to
America" Another charge against the reds" Of
u C. l. A. is that they invited Dr. Albert Einsten to
address a student meeting.
I believe the liberals who intend to support Mer-
Ram as the lesser OF two evils" should open their

is-deciSion to say farewell to democracy and to
raise a hand high in the air in invitation to Mus

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN =

nNE OF the commonest conditions resulting in
~ destruction OF the teeth is pyorrhea. Yet a
simple routine OF cleansing and care should enable
you to prevent such pus formation irritation and
loosening of the teeth.
Mummes found in Egypt showed signs of having
had this disease Mummies dug up in northern Italy
had gold bands which held their teeth in place be-
cause pyorrhea had loosened them.
The disease persists among great many of us,
and yet review Of the causes show you how
easy it is to prevent it.
First, there may be mild infection around thu
gums Then deposits of tartar around the teeth and
under the edges of the gums may cause trouble
Third, wedging Of food between the teeth where
they 60 not touch properly, and similar factors may
be responsible for pyorrhea.
WHENEVER tissues become inhamed or irritated.
w it is easy for the germs to attack them and
break them down Pyorrhea slowly destroys the
tissue by which the roots Of the teeth attached
to the bone Little pockets Of pus form between the
gums and the roots. These called pyorrhea
pockets.
The way to prevent pyorrhea should be obvious
from this description of its nature Since the con.
dition usually begins at the margins of the gums,
it is important that you keep these margins clean.
The teeth must be brushed regularly and prop
erly. Dentists should see the teeth for cleansing
purposes at least twice year, preferably four times
year.
IF thtre IS tendency for particles of food to catch
Il between the teeth some dental care may be
necessary to realgn the teeth The dentist also
instruct you to proper methods Of mouth hygiene
to keep these particles of food from collecting
Many persons with pyorrhea require special in
formation to their diets, that they may have
the food substances associated with sound gums and
sound teeth.
Once pyorrhea is well established it is hopeless
for the average person to attempt to control the
condition by mouth washes and tooth pastes
various kinds.
Unless the pus pockets are emptied and the teeth
given the right kind Of dental care the condition
likely to get worse and result in loss Of the teeth
