WHY TEETH DECAY

Boys teeth are more apt to decay
than girls, according to a recent
study made by the children's clinic
of the Harvard Dental School. Now
why is that?
The children whose teeth were
studied in this inquiry averaged only
six to eight years of age, so that the
respective habits of boys and girls
may not be the main cause of this
difference. AS these youngsters grow
older, it seems possible that boy and
girl habits may affect their teeth.
The average girl thinks of her
personal appearance. She realizes
that clean white grinders constitute
one element in beauty. While she is
vigorously exercising that tooth
brush of hers, she removes food par
ticles that cause decay. Meanwhile
the boy is so rushed and hurried
with his baseball and other doings,
that he perhaps can't waste any of
his valuable time brushing his teeth.
If your boy has poor teeth. find out
if his careless haste is not the cause.

LAB0R,S NEW POWER

The decree of the U. S. Suprem,
Court, upholding the Wagner law
providing for collective bargaining
with employers, gives the wage
earners much greater power. This
decision is claimed to be a great
step forward in the struggle of the
workers.
How it operates in practice will
largely depend on the spirit with
which labor uses the new power. 1t
is not always true that new power
brings new blessings. When men
obtained the use of the new power
given byp automobiles. many of them
used that power to get into trouble.
That does not mean that labor will
use its new power in a similar way.
Many of us have faith that it will
be fair and reasonable. and
thus in position to obtain its rights.
II in any case demands are made so
that the goods produced
lnder these conditions cost too
much, the act may have other effects.

SEEING THE MERITS

1t is very easy for people to see
the defects in their home town. Per-
haps they can point out rough places
in the streets, insufficient sidewalks.
school buildings that do not wholly
conform to modern ideas. etc. But
it is not so easy for people to see
the real and important things their
home town has achieved.
If you will look over any place
like Milford. you will see that the
real things that have been achieved,
the substantial results that have
been gained. far exceed the defects.
The roads. schools. and other things
may not be perfect, yet they are far
better than those enjoyed by many
communities of the same size and
wealth. Why not talk a little more
about the good things our community
has done. and thus make people feel
confidence i'm their home towns flu
ture?

MUD HOLE ROADS

w. S. Campfield, secretary of the
Virginia State Horticultural Society
says that one of the principal rea-
sons why young people leave farm
homes, is that they can't stand the
mud hole roads. If such roads
through a rural district are so soft
in spring and after rains that the
young folks can't get out to see their
friends and take part in modern life,
you can't blame them If they want
to get out of what seems to them a
neglected and unhappy locality.
A reasonably hard road connecting
the farms with the towns is an es-
sential of modern country life. You
can't wonder il homes that don't
have it seem forsaken by the public.
Milford chronicle., 1937-04-23
THE WORD OF COURAGE

You can never tell how far word
of hope will travel. If you express
confidence that business is going to
be better. you encourage people to
buy goods. If many people speak
these words of hope. they encourage
merchants to make more purchases.
That puts more people to work in
factories. That gives those workers
more purchasing power. The whole
tempo of business is speeded up. The
money keeps going round and round,
creating work and prosperity every
time it moves.
There is such thing as over-con-
fidence, as is seen in great specula-
tive booms. We have no such boom
condition now, and what we need
most is hope and confidence in the
future.
Milford chronicle., 1937-04-23
MAKING BUSINESS FLOURISH

If the people want their home
town business to make progress and
prosper. and do everything they ex-
pect of it, they should make it their
usual habit to buy all possible sup
plies at home. They have excellent
home stores. If there is anything
important that cannot be secured in
or through the stores of Milford, we
should like to have that thing point
ed out. The merchants would be
glad to have such omissions pointed
out. as they want to provide every
thing that people need.
The business of a city can not
prosper, if a considerable portion of
the people refuse to patronize that
business. You can't expect the
stores to put in abundant stocks, and
put low prices on the same unless
hey get the patronage of their home
own folks.

sATIsFACTIONs OF CLOTHES

The consciousness of being well
dressed, many women have said, has
given them a confidence that no
amount of virtue can impart.
Civilization gives us protective
covering of manners and conversa-
tion, by which people conceal their
real selves. The person you talk
with may be a liar, but he often con-
ceals it by his correct manners.
AS we look into these faces which
are masks covering the real heart,
we are at loss to know what peO-
pie really are. Clothes give us some
club. We may not be able to tell if
a man is dishonest by looking at his
clothes. But at least if he is well
dressed, he is probably somewhat
orderly and efficient. 1t may be said
that many of the modern gangsters
look very smooth, and are almost too
well dressed. Such men are likely
to give themselves away by their
extreme style. Simplicity plus neat
ness is a combination that does not |
often tell wrong story.
The well dressed lady also gives
an impression that she moves with
the times, and has taste. The hu-
man eye is charmed by beauty.
The type of character formerly
known as the dude knew all the arts
of sale costuming, but he put so
much of his brains into such
thoughts that he had too few left for
his daily work. The society dame
who buys more clothes than she is
able to pay for. may bewilder the un-
wary. But the tradesman does not
like to see her account run up too
high.
Clothes being a power. it is good
judgment to dress as we'll as one
can afford. If mans suit is shabby,
people ask if his work won't be Slip
shod too. Good clothes will never
take us to heaven, but anyone can
do better work in the world if they
fit and are well cared for.

FIRE! /!

Civilization began with the discov
cry of fire by prehistoric man. An,
for many a human being, ciyiliza
tion, so far as he personally wa,
concerned, has ended with a fire,
1t is a curious truism that one O
mans essential aides is likewise
under other circumstances. one O.
mans worst enemies. Controlled
fire is boon. Uncontrolled fire is 9
destroying demon.
The problem of controlling fire is
as old as history. Immense progress
has been made in the direction of
perfecting fire-fghting apparatus
and equipment, and developing ma
terials that resist fire. The fire de-
partment of yesterday is a ludicrous
thing in comparison to the amazing
ly efficient fire department OF today.
even as the building construction of
yesterday offered a veritabie invita-
tion to fire.
Aggressive effort has been given
in recent years toward educating the
public in preventing fire-and here.
too, progress has been made, but on
near a comparable scale.
Some of us have learned ths simple
lessons that will eliminate most
hazards-many of us have not. 1t is
a safe bet that at least one home out

ERA OF LABOR PEACE?

Some people think the validation
of the Wagner collective bargaining
act by the U. S. Supreme Court is
going to inaugurate period of Ia
bor peace, as probably the most seri-
ous auarrels if recent date have orig
mated over this question of the rec
ognition of labor unions. Now that
employers engaged in interstate com
merce are required to do business
with whatever union is selected by
the majority of the wage-earners in
each particular industry, il is held
that a leading source of contention
has been removed.
1t is said that such relations have
been the usual proceeding in the
English industries for good many
years, and that as a consequence la
bor and capital have been getting
along in that country with less frac-
ton than in the United States.
The American people will pro-
foundly hope this is true. They have
been disturbed by the recent indus
trial conflicts, also by the spirit of
lawlessness and violence which has
so frequently appeared.
Laws alone do not produce peace.
That is had only when people are
fair and reasonable. Unreasonable
people may be given the best laws in
the world, but if they can see only |
their own side of some contentious |
issue, there will be no peace. If EN-
ployers are unwilling to share their |
prosperity with their workers, no |
peace can be expected. If the work.
ers expect such additions to their
pay, and such increase in the labor
costs through short hour operation.
that the prices of the product are
unduly raised, not much peace can
be expected.
1t is a time for everybody to be-
come more intelligent about busi-
ness, to show sympathy for those
Gnot so we'll favored as themselves. I
Friendship. fairness, and Judgment
can make this law work, but no law
will work without those qualities.

OLD TIME DANCES

: The old-fashioned dances, tn
quadrilles and contra dances of for
mer days are said to be more popu
I lar. They got start some years ag'
when Henry Ford encouraged them
and when old fiddlers played Money
Musk" and the Arkansas Traveller
all over the land. Today in many
, halls, the floors are shaking and the
windows rattling, while the boys OF
J all ages swing their partners, and
the girls trip through the ladies'
chain.
Then when the call of "All hands
around" is heard, old and young ca
per around in circles. Old-timers
who thought their dancing days were
over are filled with delight at re-
newed youth, even if they have to re-
tire to the side seats. and give their
hard breathing lungs rest.
If the promoted who calls out the
figures does it in a dull and mon
otonous voice, the action of the dane
ers is not reused. But il he does it
with enthusiasm. the steps go higher
and wider, the feet come down on |
the floor with a more resounding |
thud, and the spirit of merriment
pervades the hall.
The feet of the practised old-time
danced have few idle moments on
such a floor. He is constantly
prancing up and down and pirouet-
ting around on one leg, and every
responds to the joy and pull
;ation of the music.
Modern dancing often becomes
tiff and monotonous, and many peo-
lie look at it as simply walking
round a hall. The old quadrilles
we're a type of folk dancing such as
las existed since rhythmical music
vas first heard. Primitive peoples

to speak their pieces In full and

ton, but did not deter him from his
resolution to be genteel. So he walked
up to Owens, squared of at noee-to-
| nose and said:
