R OEss Robsv,s esresa .

Waiting in a small hotel be- tween trains, I noticed two fine- looking business men enter the lobby. In few minutes young fellow with whom they evidently had an appointment came in.
 could not help overhearing their conversation. The young man evidently was being inter- viewed for a job and he thought success depended on his Knowledge of business, and upon this he con- centrated. The bright young man knew the answers. They would nod gravely and occasionally there would be a laugh. It all seemed very friendly and cordial, and I am sure our hero thought he had something in the bag.
 Taking up their hats finally. they said they would let him know. I think he expected another an- swer. After they. left he was un- easy and preocupied.
 Speech Against Him.
 He was a splendid looking chap, dressed carefully and in good tas- te. But was sure he would never hear from that job. And of the reason, possibly, why he was not invited to the club for a cultlet and coffee.
 He had said things in the way they should not have been said. Not only had he used a surplus of glib slang but there were slips such as Tt DON'T add up; If I WAS to go to Chicago: "They told Bill and I to get that order be- cause no one else had used THEIR heads"
 felt so bad for the witIess young scamp who hadn't studied his English in school could have wept.
 "I'll wager he majored in in- ternational law or history of art or something" said to myself. "Or else starred in sports. In high school very likely he read sir Roger de Coverly' and The An cient Mariner He probably knows Macbeth backward and The Mer- N~ANSAAS OA VNhASS LOOs
 Maybe he sweat blood over French verbs or German genders. Maybe he can recite two pages of Vergil without a stop. Maybe he took honors in original proposi- tions. Maybe he did and maybe he didn't; but what he didn't do, and his parents did not make him do, was to get his grammar when the getting was good.
 Perhaps his parents themselves never tried to master the fifteen :'dont's' of correct English, and he fell into the habit of thinking that careful speech is not important in life.''
 The school child should be taught to realize that knowledge is only half of success. The other half involves people, and people watch for literacy. @ 4 We are a strange public, we Americans. Often those who are none too particular about their lenses and relative pronouns de- mand more perfect speech of those who serve them.
 It takes years to perfect syntax. 1thas to become reflex, without thought, part of self. My young friend could have felt his way more carefully, linguistically speak ing, if he not been concentrating on another subject. Too bad that most boys hate grammer so. Noth- ing gives more assurance to either a boy-or a girl-than a feeling that he can speak with the best. Copyright 1885, NEA Service, Inc.

 No tooth disease has received so much publicity in the last few years as pyorrhea; with the pos- sible exception of carries, or decay, none has received the scientific att tention, either. A dental scientist recently said that enough time and energy has been spent solving the problem of pyorrhea to build Boul- der Dam, and 1t still requires much l work.
 The chief result has been to prove that. pyorrhea, which is a very ancient disease, has no one single cause. It is systemic, fre- quently, or it may be caused by un- equal pressure on the teeth, dis ease or neglect. Many persons con- tract it sooner or later, and despite the knowledge gained by research, the best way still to handle the dis ease is to prevent it.
 Prevention requires cooperation between the dentist and yourself. It is the: dentists job to remove the tartar, study the way the teeth fit in the "bite," and head off any difficulties he can foresee.. But the patient must cooperate by brush ing the teeth properly, keeping his general health good, and coming regularly for dental inspection. Pyorrhea has been called the Hong toothp disease because, as the gums shrink back, the teeth appear abnormally long. This is sometimes the first symptom of py- orrhea. More often, the earliest symptoms have to do with bleed- ing gums. When gums bleed easily. as when they are brushed, the den- tist should be consulted. He may find the cause easily, or it may be obscure, hard to discover.
 i. No toothpaste, powder, or mouthfash can cure or prevent 'pyorrhea.
 In his next article Dr. Wisan will discuss feeding the teeth.

musical comedy stars. vaudeville stars
or motion picture stars. Almost all
the other comedians and so-called
comedians made 'em laugh in the
paid admission temples before taking
their talents into the radio studios.
They knew they were funny because
people had paid money to see them.
Stoop and Budd sort Of had to take
their funnineSs on faith. l haven't
the slightest idea what Stoop and
Budd did before radio. Judging from
their slant on life, 1t must have been
sort Of trying on the neighbors. Ger
tainly Col. Stoopnagle was never
glorified by Ziegfeld - nor did Budd
pass through the same portals as Mr..
Carroll's most beautiful girls in the
world. Maybe they were born In a
radio studio and just grew up there.

deliver amusement without depending
on a studio clacque deserve a statue.
IT'S hardly fair to intimate that
Stoop and Budd are the only good
comedians who have come up the
ladder right N radio. Al Pearce and
his gang, on N. B. c. afternoons, are
radio products and mighty funny. In
fact, Pearce can stand comparison
