President Signs
Biggest Measure
of Peace Times
Roosevelt Approves Bill to Add
More G-Men to Department of
Justice and Investigation

President Roosevelt's signature
made law, Saturday, the biggest
peace time army appropriation in
the country's history, while only
brief congressional action remains
before his receipt of the same kind
of a navy supply bill.
But, while Congress was finishing
work on the bill that will bring to a
billion dollars the total provided
next year for the two arms of de-
tense, skepticism arose over the
chances for passage at this session of
a bill to authorize 81 new naval aux
Hilary vessels.
A push for early adjournment
threatened to block this measure.
Chief among the measures provi-
sions were:
Building the army enlisted strength
up to the full authorized 10000.
Approximately $8,5O0,000 for de-
lenses on the west coast and in Ha-
wall and the Panama canal.
Adding SOS new airplanes to the
army feet.
The navy bill has passed both
House and Senate, but has yet to
have comparatively minor Senate
changes approved. It carried $751;
068,70 when it passed the House. It
calls for bringing the navy man
power to treaty strength, for two
new battleships and Is other vessels,
more airplanes and other defense
equipment.
Mr.. Roosevelt also approved the
1887 supply bill for the State, JUS
tice, Commerce, and Labor depart
ments, carrying $116,452,19 It pro-
vided more liberal funds for the JUS
tice departments Bureau of Investi-
CATION, and larger allowances for
airline maintenance and extensions
and for sea-safety ship inspection.
J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the bu-
resu, said 225 new agents would be
added to his staff. ~ 49,. sssss.ss
A new drive on receivers of stolen
property and new activities under
the Federal fugitive law will be part
of the work made possible by the
increased staff.

Teeth regain dazzling whiteness

EILM is the cause of dull, dis
l. colored teeth. 1t is also the
cause of serious tooth and gum
disorders. Run your tongue across
your teeth and you will feel this
film. 1t absorbs stains from food
and smoking and turns white teeth
dull. 1t clings to teeth and hardens
into tartar. Germs by the millions
breed in it. And germs, with tar
tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Ordinary brushing fails to remove
film successfully. So dentists urge
the special film-removing dentifrice
called Pepsodent.

then removes it in gentle safety to
