In loving memory of my dear wife
Hattie M. Birmingham, who died q
year ago, August goth, 1886.
It's lonesome here without you,
And sad the weary way;
For life is not the same to me,
Since you were called away.
But peaceful be your sleep, dear wife;
IT'S sweet to breath your name
l loved you very dear in life,
In death I do the same.
Sadly missed by husband,
Ira Birmingham.

A WORD TO SCARE US

If one is over 80 years old, the chances
are two to one that he has 'periodonto-
clasia." The word itself is a jaw-breaker
sufficiently formidable to brighten us, and
the disease it represents is nothing to joke
about. 1t is commonly known as pyorrhea,
and next to tooth decay is the most prev
alent dental disorder, according to the
Dental Institute of America.
Broadly speaking, pyorrheao consists
of diseased pockets about the teeth, the
tissues supporting which become irritated
for various reasonz. causing lowered re-
sistance to the invasion of germsi In time,
the germs destroy more supporting tissue,
the tooth is loosened and often lost.
Pyorrhea literally means a flow of pus.
Neglect and ignorance account for
the startling prevalence of this diseaee,'
says the Institute, ''for dental science has
evolved simple and highly effective
method of treatment Vast numbers of
people are losing their teeth from sheer
lack of dental care
Statistics by some authorities indicate
that the percentages of Americans having
pyorrhea range about as follows: At 20
years. 10 per cent; at 80 years, so per
cent; at DO years. 80 per cent; at so years,
80 per cent or more.
Records show that in nearly all adj
vanced cases there is evidence of total
neglect of professional dental attention
over a considerable period of time
So whether we call it pyorrhea or use
the more fearsome term, periodontoclasia,
we should look out for this highly prev
alent disease, and have it treated early,
thus preserving health and possibly ex-
tending life.

Rains have occurred since yester-

PREVENT, OR KEEP OUT, OF WAR?

While the Congressman are ironing
out the wrinkles in their effort to prevent
the United States from ever becoming en-
broied in foreign war by passing "neu-
trality" legislation it might be we'll to pass
along the idea prevalent in many informed
heads that no legislation will keep this
nation out of general war.
In fact, experienced students of war
fare are very often convinced that, despite
everything we can do, this nation will not
be able to keep out of general war Re-
Gently, Anne O'Hare Mccormick, foreign
correspondent, expressing this view said
that ''our only safe policy is to try to pre-
vent war.
While every citizen recognizes the
desirability of staying out of European
and other foreign wars there are not
enough of them to recognize the wise in
surance of attempting to assist the world
In the maintenance of peace. Such a policy
involves risks, it is true, but they do not
seem to be out of reason when we consider
the gains that are possible.

CAROL AND NICHOLAS

For the benefit of readers who like to
discuss royal romance it may be worth
space to take up the, amazing instance in
Rumania, where King Carol has exiled his
brother because Prince Nicholas, happily
married to woman not of royal descent,
insisted upon recognition of his wife and
child.
Back of the royal argument is prob
ably much political intrigue but it hardly
seems reasonable for the King, who So
journed all over Europe with Madame
Lupescu, to indict his brother for his mar
riage. However, in countries dominated
by kings anything is likely to happen.

POPULAR NAMES FOR CHILDREN

There is absolutely no telling where
the experts are not to break into print and
sometimes they get into the news columns
with weird and fancy tales. 4E
Occasionally, one comes forward with
some splendid advice. Such is the case
with w. E. Walton. University of Ne
braska psychologist, who warns parents
against giving their children "odd-sound-
ing" names, which will plague them the
rest of their lives and thwart the normal
development of personality.
The doctor has also studied the pop
ularity of given names, with the result that
Robert, Richard, Charles and Jack take

Dorothy, Jane and Virginia hold the fore

Conducting a newspaper in Russia,
Germany or Italy is hazardous oceupa-
ton. and some newspaper men without
Intentional detraction are punished most
severely. Often there are reprisals. These
countries are depressed under yoke of die
tatorships, and are governed by DEGREES
which are final and often brutal. In Ger
mary, for instance, the Berlin Tempo was
banned because Stock Exchange report
contained a few facts about the fall of
German foreign loans, and the Essener
Volkszeitung was suppressed because a
question mark instead of an exclamation
mark had been put by mistake after the
