Federal Agents
Arrest Martin
In Michigan

Detroit, Michigan.-Reedy Mar
tin, fugitive from a Mann Act in
dictment in st. Paul, was appre-
hended here this week by agents

lis and Duluth since the Federal
agents roundup of white slavery
suspects this summer, lived at 511
Aldrich Ave. No., in Minneapolis.
Agents reported Martin had been
seeking entry to Canada where his
sister resides. Upon his arrest he

fine group of alert youngsters,
piloted by the loveable and talented
Ed Strong, internationally known
youth leader, turned in a report
that was nothing short of amaz-
ing. These kids mean business,
and anyone who thinks differently
is due for a rude and unpleasant
shock. They have courage and
ideals, and they know exactly
what they want and, what is of
equal importance, how to get it.
They don't propose to dissipate
their efforts in bewildered fun
bling, either. When they fire they
propose to score. Personally, the
writer is for them one hundred per
cent, without reservations. And he
has a conviction that all who can't
or won't concede to giving them
the assistance they deserve are 60
ing to be ducedly upset.
About this ambitious" faction
in the Congress. One hadn't been
in Philadelphia an hour before he
or she caught the rumblings of an
anti-John P. Davis sentiment. A
group of highly organized dele
gates from the Intelligent" East
were out to GUST the organizer of
the Congress. But their reasoning
was faulty - very. Midwestern,
Southern, Central Eastern and
Western delegates arose in anger,
smashed the opposition, rode
roughshod over the rebellious fac
ton, threatened dire consequences
for any group who dared attempt
dissension in the future, flung the
handsome Executive Secretary
back in the chair with force that
took his breath away and left no
doubt in anybody's mind of their
determination to keep the Congress
intact-and did. This display of
unity in itself was worth all the
money spent in bringing the con-
vention together. 1t clearly por-
trayed that Negroes are sick and
tired of leaders," burdened with
their own self-importance and am
billions, who would reign or ruin.
And that ought to be worth at
least one good, fervent "amen."
No delegate could possibly pic
ture the entire procedure of con-
vention as large as that in Phila-
delphia. The printed proceedings
of the conclave will soon be off the
press. The writer's suggestion is
that every person secure a copy
and carefully read it. The price will

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 8.-An airplane
which plunged like q streak of light
ming" into two houses killed a 2-year-
old boy and Mexican Army Air Corps
pilot in Northwest Austins residential
section last night.
Leonard Albright, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Spencer D. Albright, and Capt.
F. A. Avelino, 20, were killed when the
plane plowed into the Albright home
Three-year-old Spencer Albright was
bruised and Mrs. Albright, who had
just put the children to bed, was
stunned.
Officers from Kelly Field, at San
Antonio, where Avelino was student
Investigated the crash today.
Albright, an instructor in govern
ment at the University Of Texas. and
friend, Dave Peeler, were in the front
room and were not hurt.
Hudson Anderson and Homer San
ders said they saw the ship plunge
like streak Of lightning" when Its
motor cut out at about 100 feet. They
ran to the house, but found the bed
room door jammed.
I'VE started pulling away timbers
and debris" Anderson said. "One OF
the boys was lying on the bed. He
was crying little. We lifted him up
and gave him to Mrs. Albright"
Peeler said, II thought the ceiling
was caving in. We were both
stunned"
The plane grazed the home of o
J. Harrington before crashing into the
Albright residence.
Avelino was a member of a flight OF
II attack planes which was on its way
from Dallas to San Antonio when bad
weather closed in.
Kelly Field officers said the field

An oil portrait entitled Jimmy
Trimble," by Alexander Clayton,
64o3 Brookeville road, Chevy Chase,
was yesterday selected as the most
outstanding work at the 47th annual
exhibition of the Society of WASH
ington Artists at the Corcoran GAL
lery.
The award carries with it a prize
Of Sl00 for Mr.. Clayton, one of the
youngest of the exhibitors. Prac-
tically all of his studying has been
at schools in Washington, it was
said. Although his portrait was en-
tered in competition with paintings
by many who have had the advan-
tage of long study in New York and
European capitals, Mr.. Clayton has
only spent short time sketching on
the Continent.
Another portrait he entered in the
show was declared by judges to be
almost equally good.
Bronze medals were awarded in the
four groups of competition. The
winners and titles of their entries
were landscape group, Nicolai Cikov-

great resistance to tooth decay.
With others it proceeded very rap
idly. But the only real difference,
he said, is that it takes longer for
the process to work in some persons
than others. This makes no real
difference if the tooth is bound to
decay anyway.
Regardless of the resistance Of the
individual, DR.. Belding said, the
chances are $500 to / that any
tooth, once a minute cavity has
formed, will decay sooner or later If
the person eats wheat.
His brother, he said, found very
similar conditions among Iowa school
children as he himself found among
the Naval cadets
During the war, when wheat eat
ing was restricted, he said, dental
decay fell off enormously. He points

quently blamed for tooth decay, as will
be remembered from parental injunc-
tions against candy. Children will be
glad to know that Dr. Belding is their
friend. He completely exonerates
sweets. The starches also showed
hardly any reaction toward acidity
when inoculated with saliva. But
when it came to wheat, DR.. Belding
says, the reaction was immediate and
unmistakable. The test tube turned
q bright red, indicating sufficient
acid1ty to eat away any enamel
Curiously enough, whole wheat showed
more of the acid-producing property
than white flour. Oatmeal was the
next worse offender, but poor second
to wheat. Third came corn, only about
20 per cent as potent an acid producer.
Ills Follow Wheat.
Examination of pre-Columbian In
dian skeletons, DR.. Belding says, shows
that dental carries was about 20 per
cent as prevalent among these people
as among the wheat-eating whites.
They were corn eaters. Further ex-
animation Of the literature, DR.. Beld-
ing says, shows dental decay has fol-
lowed wheat around the world. Wher-
ever the cereal has been introduced
among primitive peoples with perfect
teeth, cavities have begun to appear in
short time.
At the same time Dr. Belding re-
ported the finding of two microscopic
organisms which may be the germs
OF carries" responsible in some way
Tor the acid reaction. One, he said.
Is apparently straight chain strep-
tococcus," member of the same
family as the germ responsible for
scarlet fever and all sorts of strep in
1ections. The other, present in a
much smaller degree, has not been
identified. These two are found in all
saliva. The acidopholus bacterium.
commonly blamed for tooth decay, he
FOUND only in few instances.
Since the saliva itself is not acid
he said. the only cause of tooth decay
must be pockets in the enamel In
which acid-forming foods can get
lodgment. The only practical advice
resulting from the experiments to date
Is to keep all cavities, even the small
est, filled, and to keep the teeth as
clean as possible. 1t also is possible.
he said, to paint cavities in the back
teeth with the blackening silver nj
trate.
To Pursue Mystery.
DR.. Belding hopes, however, to get
~ the thing in wheat which causes
the trouble. He can eliminate the
sugar and the starch because they
DO not become acid upon contact
with the saliva organisms in the test
tube. If this mysterious substance
could be isolated, a means of COM
batlng it might be found.
