II must be remembered that news OF the sign
Ing OF the treaty OF Ghent had not yet arrived In
America and that. although Jackson had smashed
Pakenham's amy. there was still strong British
force under Keane and Thornton on board the
British feet at the mouth OF Lake Borgne. There
was no assurance that they would not try again
to capture New Orleans. SO Jackson was wise to
take no chances OF being caught unprepared-

We Should Take More Interest
in the State

Among the things that no fond mother ever told
her snub-noSed young son Is: And II you work hard
and be q good boy, you may grow up to be a member
OF the state legislature"
The state government in most Of America. in other
words, works under q cloud. There stiIl Is a certain
glory to being governor, perhaps, but the ordinary
american would be hard put II he had to name. from
memory, as many as three other high state officials.
or six members Of his legislature.
Yet the state government touches the life of the
average citizen quite as closely as does the federal
government, with which he is far more familiar. 1t
affects his taxes even more directly.
1t has the power to alter the conditions under which
he works or does business. With the county govern
ments, IL is at his elbow every day OF the year.
The point Of all this is that a direct and simple
road to cheaper and better government is wide open
Tor the people OF America. IL they viii only take the
trouble TO find 1t. BY bringing state and county gov
ernmentS up to date, by taking an interest in them

they can save themselves untold millions.
Here Is an illustration. A committee OF business
experts headed by Col C.. o. Sheriff., former city
manager OF Cincinnati. recently made a survey Of the
Ohio state government 10 see II 1t could be run more
cheaply. A glance at a few OF their commentator
Is enlightening.
In the administration Of the state sales tax alone.
for example, Ohio could save $4,000 a year. It
could save $750OOO more by a more intelligent pur-
chasing system IN its highway department. It could
save another sl66,000 by adjusting the warehouse and
trucking contracts OF its liquor department.
Altogether, simply by running the state govern
ment in the way a business organization would be
run, the experts figure the state could save 3d.
100000 q year This. be It noted. does not call for
abandonment Of any state activity: nor does II even
touch the county government, a political form which
is as out Of date today as the one-hoss shay.
The moral is obvious. We have abandoned our
state governments to the politicians, and then we
have gone off and forgotten who the politicians are.
AS a result. We are paying right through the nose.
II we want lower taxes. we might bring our state
and county governments UP to date, take an intelli-
gent and unsleeplng interest IN the way they are
operated. and insist on getting full value for our
money.
That issue is quite as pressing as the more talked
about issue Of reducing expenditures Of the federal
government.

It's All in the Game

Once again We are getting the annual fall furore
over the deaths caused BY football. A recent survey
shows that IS boys have been killed by the game this
fall, with the season only about half over, and the
customary plans are being made by those In authority
for taking the risks out Of the game.
1t Is q little hard to see how this can ever be done,
II football is to remain football. The essence Of the
game Is hard bodily c~ontact-the tackle by a swiftly
moving player Of another player who is moving equal
~ swiftly.
AS long as that is in the game. there will be &C.
casional serious injuries. some Of which win result in
death. And II that is taken out Of the game, it ceases
to be football.

and Of Hygeia. the Health MagaEiue
Millions OF dollars are spent every year In the
United States for tooth pastes and mouth washes.
Most people think when they use these preparations
that they are performing a valuable function for the
health Of their mouths and particularly for the gums
and teeth.
The dentists have organized an advisory body Of
psychologists. pathologists, p~racticing physicians, and
dentists to consider the claims made for these prepara-
tons. Their views are constructive.
For instance. We constantly hear the claim that a
preparation is good for acid mouth. Actually, den
lists say, the reaction Of the mouth is relatively con-
slant for every individual
One Of the theories OF decaying teeth argues that
this is caused by acid generated in localized areas
from sugars left in the cavities. There does not
seem to be any proof that this in any way Is related
to the decay of teeth Rats. for example, may be fed
large amounts Of sweets and yet never develop de-
caying teeth.
Brushing teeth Immediately after meals Is a good
practice, because ii keeps the mouth clean and free
from debris in which bacteria may develop, but
whether the preparation used with the brush Is al
kaline or antiseptic does not seem to make much diff
ference.
Mouth washes are considered by dental authorities
merely favored solutions which make the mechanical
washing Of the mouth pleasant. Considering the man
ner in which such mouth washes are used. they can
not have any real antiseptic value.
OF course. the intake Of calcium appears to have
some relationship to the quality of the teeth and OF
the bones. 1t has been demonstrated with children
that an adequate diet. particularly with a sufficient
amount Of calcium and vitamin D, will stop the prog
reSs Of dental decay.
Calcium compounds are generally soluble in acid
substances. Most calcium compounds are absorbed
from the stomach. Reaction in the ~intestines Is al
kanne. while that in the stomach Is acid.
Calcium also is associated in its use with phos-
phorus, so that both calcium and phosphorus are neces-
sary, together with vitamin d. for checking dental
decay.

CHAPTER XXX
IT did not occur to Jean Dunn
until Il was far too late TO make
any difference-that the robbery Of
her fathers bank was TO be q pro
foundly important event IN her own
life.
Her father wrote to her about n,
and she saw accounts Of Il I'm the
newspapers; but although Jean
shivered pleasantly an she read,
and wrote a long letter to her faith
er bubbling over with thankfulness
that he had not been hurt-still.
II did not seen to Be anything
that really touched her. A few days
after II had happened she vas 60
ing her way Just M she had be-
fore.
She had other things to think
about. She had promised Sandy
to become his wife. at some hazy,
unsettled time in the future She
had spent a miserably unhappy eve
ming explaining TO Bobby Wallace
that she could not be hts wife
and the misery had flared up into
an outright quarrel when Bobby,
learning at last that she loved San
dy. had tried. once again. 70 tell
her that Sandy was q shady char.
acter.
Afterward. 20 justify herself in
her own mind. Jean had assured
herself that she did love Sandy,
deeply and truly. and that her at
fair with Bobby had been. after
all. only q boy-and-girl romance.
With things standing thus. four
or ave days after the holdup. she
answered her desk buzzer one
morning and went into Mr.. Mon.
tague's Office with pencil and note
book I'm hand. expecting to take
dictation- Instead. she found Mr.
Montague looking at her with
grave sympathy.
Sandy Harkins. he told her, had
been painfully hurt in an accident
She gasped with surprise No
Mr.. Montague did not know any
OF the deails-it was q traffic acct
dent. apparently. somewhere down
In the southwestern corner OF the
state. Sandy was IN q critical state
and he wanted Jean 70 come &c
him.
Long afterward. Jean remem.
bered an odd thing about her own
emotions at this moment She re
membered that instead OF feeling
a sudden outpouring Of racking
anxiety and fear she had been
chiefly concerned with the thought
MY lover has been hurt and he
needs mel mustn't let him down.
| mustn't fail 10 be properly wor.
ried about him" In other words.
she felt the need OF emotion. rather
than emotion itself. But n was q
long time before she bothered To
analyze her feelings In this way.

September at 9.466l OOO. a decrease Of $4,000 from the
