Vincent's angina is an infectious
disease which seems to have been
endemic throughout the world for a
long time, but was not forcibly
brought to the attention of more
than few physicians and dentists
until it became epidemic in the
armies during the World War,
when it became known as trench

able change will take place. In fact,
the removal Of the tonsils does not
affect the singing OF the speaking
voice either one way or the other in
most instances. Only if a heavy scar
remains is the voice changed for
the worse.
Throat surgeons who are used to
treating opera, stage and screen

used soon after a tonsil operation

Its Treatment

Its Treatment
In treatment, hot water gargles
and rest, with liquid diet (the
mouth is too sore to allow of solid
food), should be used during the
acute stage. Later. antiseptics such
as hydrogen peroxide or tincturc of
iodine should be applied to the in
fectcd areas. Reasoner and Gill
have shown that toilet soaps have
a germicidal property toward the
offending germs, and may be used
as dentifrices with benefit.
A chronic form occurs In which
little pain or soreness develops. The
gums are red and spongy, bleed
easily and often a little pus can be
squeezed from the gum margin.
Many cases Of pyorrhoca have the
Flnccnts germs as the causative or
@anlsms. Such cases are best
treated by the dentist.
In still another group of cases,
the Fincent's germs can be cult
waited from the mouth, but they are
doing no harm, simply living on the
mouth secretions.

 Delay Quick Action

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Senate Administration leaders, after poll, declared today that 10 uncommitted Senators hold the fate of efforts to modify the Burke -Wadsworth con- scription bill.
 It is also said the poll discloses others are almost evenly divided on Maloney's proposal to defer con- scription until it is proved volun- teers will not produce the necessary man power by January 1.
 Leaders today said it is not likely that a vote on the measure will be reached before next week on the Maloney plan.
 Meanwhile. Representative Dough- ton disclosed technical difficulties in drafting the bill is delaying the excess profits tax legislation.
 The House expects to complete action on the bill permitting the President to call the National Guard out in two days, by next Monday.
 The army command discloses that the delay on the conscription bill has forced postponement of the army plans to have 100000 men under arms by October.

WASHINGTON - The rigorous French censorship has suppressed the information, but former Pre- mier Paul Reynaud will face sen sational charge when he is tried before the special war guilt court. The scandal is based on what has become known in inner diplomatic circles as "Renaud'S trunk
 Following the French collapse, Reynaud attempted to escape from the country. His plan was to go to Portugal and embark for the United States, where he hoped to be made French Ambassador. He made his dash in two automobiles In one he travelled with Countess Helene de Portes, the small, home ly. shrill-voiced widow for whom he left his wife several years ago and had French divorce laws changed so he could marry her in 1941. AS has been reported, this car went off the road, killing the Countess and severely injuring Rey- maud.
 The other car contained Rey- naud's two private secretaries, bag gage and the mysteroius trunk. This car was seized at the Spanish bor- der. There, search of the trunk dis closed that it contained
 Twenty million francs in paper money, presumably from French public funds.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Capi- tai talk:
 In recent weeks, no man has so covered himself with what passes for success in diplomacy as Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull.
 When the conference was called, the capital was full of skepticism. These Pan-American conferences always had been sessions of sound and fury signifying nothing much and this, everyone said, was going to be just another one. The eco- homie situation was too full of antagonistic selfish interests. As for the Monroe Doctrine, that al- ways had been the United States own baby.
