The farm is well stocked with cows,

locomotion by automobile and there
are no horses in the stable. But, like
most Westerners, he has ridden horses
in his day.
His wife, however, is an expert
horsewoman and enjoys q gallop along

much Of the United States.
The bone filter costs in laboratory
manufacture to 2 cents a pound.
Two pounds will filter the fiuorine
out Of nearly 500 gallons Of water.
The used bone can then be washed
with chemicals and used over and
over.
The bone meal made by packing
plants furnishes source of supply
for enough filter material to clean up
more than all the known fiuorine
water in America.
The University Of Arizona scientists
have made small filters for private
homes. Experiments with these indi-

fluorine
Freezing takes out the fluorine by
concentrating 1t In the center of the
ice. But 1t is not practicable to freeze

Mrs. Smith made the discovery that
fluorine causes mottled teeth. She has
numerous appeals for help from
fluorine water districts. One boy
wrote:
you know and I know that the
girls don't like mpttled teeth"
Unsightliness is the least serious
aspect, however. There is always a

BY baking bone in an oven at about
1000 degrees F. Prof. Smith alters its
surface. Thereafter water sets in
easily. For filter purposes it Is ground
to resemble coarse sand.
Fluorine Is q poisonous yellow gas,
one of natures 90 chemical elements,
and the most reactive of them all. 1t
does not exist in nature as free gas
but in combined FORM It comes
mainly from fluorite, cryolite and apa-
tite. Less than one part Of fiuorine
In q million parts Of water Is enough
to attack bones and teeth.
The public knows only one Of its
effects, mottled teeth. This happens
to children who drink the water while
their teeth are forming. There is no
visible effect on adults except their
wisdom teeth.
But experiments ON animals show
that fiuorine water affects all bones.
It gives them slightly worn appear
ance. They are chalky and somewhat
soft in spots on the surface.
On teeth these white, soft spots
absorb iron from food and water.
The iron stains the teeth a dark

but the teeth are still structurally
weak.

The founder was born in the little
Pennsylvania town of Pennsburg, near
Allentown, June 4. 1878. Not far away
on the outskirts of Philadelphia, in an
attic room over a livery stable, he
started while still a youth to work out
the principles of his new way Of life. "
Worked Among Jobless.
For IS years he worked among the
unemployed and the destitute of Phil
adelphia, and later In the allied prison
camps during the World War Every
where he went he found, in unsolved
personal relationships, the seeds of
world disorder. He became convinced
that when men listened to God. these
differences we're bridged.
In 1921, he travelled to Oxford and
began his mobilization Of young, men

has become the oxford Movement.
In the II years since, nations have
felt the impact of his program as it
has been worked out among individ-

DR.. C. j. Hambro, president of the
Norwegian Parliament, talked to DR..
Buchanan at an Oxford Group "house
party" and then
DR.. Hambro looked across the lake
to the home of his political opponent.
Unselflshness? Love? Hambro acted.
Across he went into the camp of the
enemy. brought him to DR.. Buchanan.
AS result. for the first time in years
the two Norwegian party leaders spoke
from the same platform. Later. when
Dr. Hambro's conservative party was
defeated, he remained president OF
the Parliament with an opposition
majority.
