HUMANITY'S HALL OF FAME
They gave monkind new teeth

began to experiment with porcelain as
substitute, and with the aid of
Dubois de Chemant, chemist, he
baked some porcelain teeth. But he
could not get away from the carved
ivory idea - solid piece for the
uppers and the same for the lowers.
The result was that after baking, the
porcelain contracted and didn't fit
1t was in 1908 that the solution was
found by Giuseppangelo Fonzi, an
Italian dentist living in France. Fonzi
was not only dentist but a former
sailor, a poet, dramatist and a
chemist. On a trip to Spain he had
watched dentist pulling teeth in a
public square and had decided to 20
and do likewise.
What Fonzi did was to bake indirid-
udl porcelain teeth, each with
platinum pin, or hook, and then set
them in a base of gold or platinum
that had been previously cast to fit
the gums The base could be coated
to look like gums, and by mixing his
porcelain with oxide of gold he was
able to get various tints and more
durable tooth. Porcelain teeth, the
artificial teeth of today, had arrived.
Fonzi's discovery brought revolu-
ton in dental prosthesis - the art of
dental substitution. Before long he
was world-famous. travelling all over
Europe to fill the gaping jaws of
royalty, and it was Aaron Burr. with
set of Fonzi's teeth in his mouth, who
first brought the new idea to America.
Today. with porcelain teeth in
universal use, we have bases of vul-
canite, bakelite and various resins to
take the place OF gold and platinum
for those who cannot afford more ex-
pensive plates. New discoveries in
chemistry, new methods in dentistry,
have added to comfort, durability,
safety. You can get "store" teeth
that will serve you, or teeth made by
dental artist whose work is close to
perfection and costs $500; and the
father of it all was Giuseppangelo
Fonzi, now respected member Of

bensable boons of mankind are gifts
of men and iO0npen Who hare been
all but forgotten. Here is another of
an important series Of articles that
tell about these ussung heroes
- NE of the kindest inventions in
the world is false teeth. With
~ out them millions of people
would be old before their time, sick,
unhappy. toothless. AS a blessing to
humanity false teeth are in class by
themselves.
Had you lived in the eighteenth
century, however, a set of false teeth
would have been anything but bless
ing. AS recently as a hundred-odd
years ago you took your toothless
gums to a dentist who made a wax
impression of them and CARED you a
set out of ivory - one piece of ivory
for the uppers, one for the lowers If
he thought it advisable he joined the
two sets with pair of springs, and off
you went about your business, tight
Tipped and not too comfortable And
soon you were even less comfortable,
for the ivory absorbed food odors
But in case you had only few teeth
missing. you could buy some human
teeth and have them tied in your
mouth. They weren't steady. of
course. and you couldn't eat with
them very well, but they looked all
right - from a distance That they
might not be healthy teeth was a
chance you took.
You could also get cats teeth, or
calves teeth, in the form Of removable
bridges that could be slipped over
your own teeth. Gold bridgework.
incidentally, goes way back to 1000
B. c. when the Etruscan dentists did
remarkably good work. But of course
the teeth weren't artificial They were
just teeth, gathered from here and
there and no questions asked.
False teeth as we know them, how
ever, are comparatively new. About
1776. in France, an apothecary named
Duchateau had a set of ivory teeth
that was driving him frantic. He

If you have any evidence of dandruff,
all you do is douse full strength Listerine
Antiseptic on the scalp once or twice a

Every day we receive enthusiastic

Senator Wheeler said the White
House meeting was called to "try

she said, "but I am not sure it is
always right to be safe"
Each individual must face the
world and the world situation as
1t is," she declared. What are
you willing to give up from the
material standpoint to keep the
world at peace? What are you will
ing to do to bring moral support

She warned that we may be al
lowing other people to fight our
battles for us.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, 30
year-old founder of the conference,
sent a message apologlzing for her
absence from the banquet, at which
she had been scheduled to speak.

will come. The date will be earlier

and persistence OF those who have
faith that it will come"
Lady Dorothea Layton, British
peace leader and wife OF the editor
OF the London News Chronicle,
urged the delegates to awaken your
people from a non-moral attitude of
indifference to lawbreaking and ag-
gression.'
Both she and Louis Dolivet of

added, I'VE, too, have a RESPONSE

She advocated the organization of
an international police force to pre-
vent aggression and insure peaceful
settlement of disputes. Use Of the
international force. which should be
one and one third larger than the
most powerful individual air force
in existence, would come only after
arbitration and the application of
economic sanctions failed, she said.
Gives Cure for War.
Another recommendation to fore
stall war was made by Charles @.
Fenwick, a delegate to the Lima
Conference and a member Of the
economics and politics department
at Bryn MaWr College.
"The safest insurance against
war" he asserted, "is to let it be
known that the great resources Of
the United States will be on the side
of those that observe the law"
Advocating revision of neutrality

would break their treaties with us
and create conditions which must
in the long run involve us in war;"
Mr.. Fenwick declared. IF we are
to avoid war we must do more than
take refuge in false isolation"

Following the morning session the
delegates were scheduled to visit
their Congressman on Capitol Hill.
A blue print for future State and
local conferences were to occupy
the afternoon session, while this
evening the delegates will hear the
problems Of peace discussed in re-
lation to Latin America, the Far

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who
addressed the delegates at ban

wondered whether we have de-
cided to hide behind our neutrality"

today a vital phase in the struggle
of its highest officers for control Of
the organization.
The disputing factions prepared
for a Circuit Court hearing Satur-
day on an injunction tying up the
U. A. WIS funds. The decision in
this case would give one side a legal
advantage.
A fresh whirlwind of events in
T the U. A. WIS factional war during
the last "a hours presented this
jumbled picture of a dissembled
leadership:
Two presidents, two executive
boards, two headquarters, two i'm
pending conventions and a court
closed cash box.
Lack Of access to the unions cash
reserves, estimated at several hun
dred+ thousand dollars, was not Sc
important for the moment as the
fact that the court decision may
bear on the rights of claimants to
the offices.

ure believe they have margin of
from four to six votes to sustain that
amount Advocates OF the full
amount admit the vote will be close,
but do not concede defeat in their
effort to restore the greater sum.
While the concerted move by a
large group Of Democrats and Re-
-publicans to begin tapering down
the relief program will produce the
major battle, there also will be re-
newed discussion of how to keep
politics out of relief, and whether
to preserve the prevailing wage
principle in the new bill.
Political Ban Included.
The bill comes to the Senate car
rying the Hatch amendments
against political activity in con-
nection with relief. They are de-
signed to prohibit supervisory off,
cials from offering employment or
depriving any one of employment
on political grounds, and also to
prohibit soliciting of campaign con-
tributions from any one paid out OF
relief appropriations.
Aside from what may be done in
the pending bill, which is confined
to relief appropriations, Majority
Leader Barkley made known last
night he is conferring with Sena-
tors Hatch, Democrat, Of New Mex
leo and Byrnes, Democrat, Of South
Carolina as to broader aspects of
the question of protecting all Gov
ernment employees from political
pressure. This probably would be
handled by amendment to existing
permanent law.
Meanwhile, David LASER, national
president of the Workers Alliance,
sent to each member Of the Senate
today a copy of his statement, which
the Appropriations Subcommittee in
charge of the bill struck out of the
printed hearings. Chairman Adams

The Colorado Senator said $780,
