The research under the direction of DR.. Gerald
J. Cox and Mary L. Dodds. will seek to establish
theory first formulated by the two eXperimenters in
1884. In their work last year the two believe that
they found evidence that the presence of factor in
the diet at critical period of tooth formation leads
to the development of teeth resistant to decay.
In their preliminary studies last year, they OBJ

even some of the present day, has
given him the whole-hearted re-

class Of Britain. whether Catholic,
Church Of England or noncon-
formiSt.
Despite this, King George has
not escaped the shafts of libelous
tongues. There used to be a legend
that he liked strong drink, until
his illness revealed that the eX-
tent of his liquor was a small
glass of wine, often diluted with
mineral water.
But there was gossip far more
scandalous than that.
For years it was gossiped that
the king, when naval officer
and with no thought of being the
heir to the throne, had contracted
a morganatic marriage with the
daughter of an English admiral.
Just as Theodore Roosevelt
bided his time until he could sue
somebody and thus forever dis
prove the story about his drinking
habits, so the king quietly waited.
LIS chance came in 1911, when
Il Il a man was caught distribut-
ing a newspaper printed in Paris
and was brought to England. It
contained the old charge. The
man was promptly hailed into
court for criminal libel
The. prosecution presented an
alright case, forever destroying
the gossip, and the jury promptly
brought in verdict of guilty. The
accused went to prison.
The king fully understands the
uses of publicity and is, there
fore, kind to the newspaper pho
tographers, who desire to satisfy
the publics interest in their SOW
ereign.
King George has not the great
number of intimate friends that
King Edward had. Many in his
chosen circle are men with whom
he served in the navy.
Among literary men, Rudyard
Kipling has been admitted to his
friendship.

The private companies, on the

very potent reason why the ten

Senate Democratic Floor Leader
Joe Robinson comes up for re-
election next year. The Arkansan
faces a hard fight. Huey Long is
after Joe's scalp; and the King
fish has a large following among

be regarded as in some true sense
the head of this great and wide
spread family, sharing its life and
sustained by its affection, this will
be a full reward for the long and
sometimes anxious labors of my
reign of well-nigh five and twenty
years"
THE simplicity of this and the
L feeling for the family are
characteristics of the monarch. He
is pre-eminently a family man.
When he has no public engage
ments, he likes nothing better
than to sit in slippered ease by
his own fireside.
Philately has fascinated him
from his earliest youth. He never
accepts gifts of rare stamps for
his vast collection. He either pays

BY the same token he and the
queen never accept any favors
from tra6csmen. They are good
customers because they pay
promptly and on the nail.
Unlike his cousin, former Kaiser
Wilhelm, who always liked to don
gorgeous clothes, the English SOW
ereign only wears these when he
must. If he opens parliament in
state, he wears his robes and err

If it is a military or naval oc-
casion, he wears the uniform of
the army or the navy. But on all
ordinary occasions he dresses like
any other well-to-do, well-bred
man.

7 ONDON, May l.
- George V Of England
will never go down in his
tory as George the Great,
but it we'll may be that in
future years he will be
described as George the
Wise.
He has recognized the limita-
tions placed upon his hereditary
Office by the advancing tide of
democracy.
So he never has taken sides
with a former Prime Minister
against the one in power, as die
his grandmother, Queen Victoria,
who adored Disraeli and hated
Gladstone.
Nor has he ever sought to be
a royal ambassador, making tours
of Europe as did his father, Ed
ward VIII.
And the reward for his calm
ness, urbanity and level-headed-
ness in a popularity that few Eng
lish kings ever have enjoyed-a
popularity that will be evidenced
for two months. beginning May 6,
when all parts of the far-fung
British empire will celebrate the
Silver Jubilee of his accession to
the throne.
A FTER Is years of a personally
N tranquil, but politically
eventful reign, what sort Of man
is this 70-year-old monarch to-
day?
Physically he is rather on the
smalliSh side with a tip-tilted nose
and beard which was once dark
brown, but is now rapidly growing
silver, due partly to age, but more,
perhaps, to his serious illness of
some years ago. His walk is meas
ured and stately.
He has never been a great
reader. Most of his book knowl-
edge is from volumes which give
him information about interna-
tional politics, history and eco
Monies. Like many another mon
arch. has learned more by
meeting men of all nations who
are leaders in their professions.
TN a country much given over
Il to outdoor sports, the king
never has been known for athletic
proves.
But he likes good canter on a
horse and is still considered one
of the best shots in England
Every year he goes out for a lit
tie hunting of grouse and pleas
ants.
His voice, like that of President
Roosevelt, is pleasant baritone.
In public addresses his enuncia-
ton is beautifully clear and his
timing is excellent, revealing the
practical speaker.
Moreover. his last two Christ
mas messages-heard throughout
the world-Were quite different
from the speeches that are usually
put in the kings mouth by his
cabinet ministers. The words
seemed to be his very own, the
tone in which he read them
seemed to come from the bottom
of his heart:

lowed memories, is the festival of
