Sang in Feminine Voices

Up to about 1880 the singing voice
Of adult males was greatly dis
liked In Europe, and consequently,
writes Arthur Coliani, Newark, N.
j., In Golfers Weekly, male parts
in choirs and opera companies
were assigned to those who were
able to sing In an artificial soprano
through an operation which they
had undergone at the beginning of
their training. Even the parts Of
the most virile heroes In operas
were sung In these high feminine
voices.

People believe what they want to believe.
All Of us would like to believe that we are about
70 fsE heirs to vast sums Of money, for most Of us
find ourselves In a financial position that would
make even a small inheritance most welcome.
Which probably accounts for the activities Of those
who have persisted liz believing In the Drake Estate
and it's vague promises.
The estate" has been labeled a myth by the Brit
ish government.
Every ambassador from the United States to the
Court Of ST. James has In recent years dubbed 1t a
fairey tale.
Every British ambassador to Washington has said
there is nothing to 1t.
But the gullibles have kept up the flow of dollars,
even after the conviction and imprisonment Of the
main racketeer, Oscar Hartzel himself.
Today we find several residents Of the Valley ir-
dicted by the federal government for their participa-
ton In the racket.
We are sorry that they mixed up in the thing TO
the extent that they are considered amenable to due
process of federal law.
We are sorrier for the thousands Of dollars they
have succeeded in extracting from those OF the VAL
lev who could lily spare the cash.
It is to be hoped that with the federal indictments
returned in Chicago Tuesday the Drake Estate ac-
tivity in the Valley viii be permanently closed.

We may not be quite sure. just yet. how we are
going to solve our transportation problems. But It
is surely logical to suppose that any step which
makes transportation cheaper is a good one to take.
It is worth remembering that II we ever really ex-
plot our vast industrial resources to their fullest ex-
tent. we shall need all the transportation facilities

Taking into due consideration the necessity from
the military standpoint Of preparing for any ana all
eventualities in case Of war. it does appear that Gen.
ersl =. nj. Andrews covered entirely too much
ground In his recent testimony before the house
committee on military affairs.
Talk Of svading the spirit Of the agreement by
which the 5000 miles Of Canadian border is left UNI
fortified by both the United States and Canada is not
only a manifestation Of bad faith, but Is arrant non
sense. No one In his senses. whether he be a citizen
OF the United States or Of Canada, can conceive of
circumstances which would bring about any diminu-
alton Of the friendly spirit existing between the two
countries, and as for war between the two. or be-
tween the United States and Britain. the very
thought is inconceivable.
As for the good sense and judgment displayed by
the COMMITTEES itself In making public the testimony
given before an executive session Of the committee,
The least said the better.
Tn United States will applaud the action taken BY
President Roosevelt In sharply reprimanding the
COMMITTEES for making public such balderdash and for
making 1t extremely clear that such sentiments as
attitude Of the present administration nor Of the
United States.
We Of the Mexican border are thankful that there
appears no cloud on the horizon to mar the friendly
relations between the United States and either of
our neighboring nations. north and south. We know
that 1t is Just such popping" off by so called mill
tary experts who feel II their bounden duty to pre-
pare for anything. whether or not within the bounds
Of probability, that creates q spirit Of distrust and
unfriendliness between border nations.

Stains on your teeth result from a variety OF
causes. In most cases such stains are derived from
the food that you eat and from permitting food
debris to remain in contact with the teeth.
Most tooth pastes now available are quite salts
moved by use Of a mixture Of two or three parts OF
water with hydrogen peroxide. OF course the den
fist. at the time when he cleans your teeth, may
scrape away deposits on the enamel at the place
the gums join the teeth.
Most tooth pastes now available are quote salts
factory as an aid in cleaning the teeth. Probably
results just about as good can be secured by using a
toothbrush with a little soap or with a little salt
water.
But most people prefer the pleasant taste and the
feeling Of cleanliness that comes with a properly
Favored tooth paste. Children particularly are like
iy to clean the teeth much more regularly and often
II they are provided with a pleasant tasting tooth
paste for the purpose.
The argument goes on constantly as to whether a
tooth paste is better than a tooth powder or vice
versa. The chief argument in favor of the tooth
paste Is ease OF handing and less wastage. Further
more. in the tube the material will keep a pleasant
appearance and a uniform composition.
Some persons prefer powders because they think
they get a better abrasive effect. Some dentists OBJ
iect to tooth pastes because they feel the paste may
be left in the mouth and actually form a place in
which germs may multiply.
OF course. no tooth paste is actually a~ntiSeptic.
Not one Of them will really destroy the germs Of
tooth decay. A powder that contains gritty mate
rails may scratch the teeth or injure the delicate
membranes of the mouth.
Nowadays. tooth pastes and tooth powders may be
purchased at reasonable prices. However, some peo-
pie may prefer to make up their own preparations
for keeping the teeth clean. Several mixtures may
be used in this way.
Table salt is a useful substance which has stimuli
ating effect on the gums. Willow charcoal also Is
useful when applied once or twice a week on a nearly
dry brush. especially to brighten and polish the teeth
Sodium perborate. which is now available IN sew
eral different forms. when properly favored. is an
agreeable d~entifrice with slightly antiseptic quail
ties, and is particularly useful in preventing trench
mouth or VincentS angina.
Another good tooth cleanser is a mixture Of magne-
stun peroxide. six parts; sodium perborate. three
parts. and pulverized soap. one part. because It does
not contain any ingredient which may scratch the
enamel Of the teeth.
