THE DETROIT ELECTIONS

At the beginning Of the moyoroIty oompoien in
Detroit. political observers there predicted that UAW
Vice President Riohord Fronkensteen would win by
about so 900 votes
About month before the election, otter the
JAW announced its possible program Of tying up one
big outo company otter another by strikes these
same observers gave Mr.. Fronkensteen about on
even-noney chance.
At the election which came OF time when in
dustriol unrest showed signs Of Quietine Mr..
Fronkensteen lost to the incumbent Mayor Edward
J. Jeffries by more than $1,000 votes
1t may be coincidence thot Mr.. Fronkensteen
seemed to lose political strength as labor troubles
increased But the foot remains thot strong labor
condidote, who-o -ot one time seemed shoo-in, lost
on election in one Of the country's most strongly
unonized cities.
There have been indications for some time thot
the public is growing Increasingly weary Of industrial
contention and strikes. The Detroit election would
seem to offer further proof of that.

If general must be tested

straight forward, not too dram

maybe, but mostly he depend

shooting. he identified himself.
Conditions are nowhere near
as bad now as they used TO be,
he says; the government has
caught up with the peddlers.
Keep away from dope, he warns
with the greatest emphasis, for
cures are few and far between;
"once a junker, always a junk

he half believes, when she
started to execute narcotics ped

When Till replies that it s

asks, do you mean you have

TEMPERAMENT: More beau

late Henry Miller presented the
"Changelings" in New York, he
had to build a third star dress
ing room so that all his leading
women-Blanche Bates, Laura

on the stage level. One youthful
star now famous in pictures,
says Miles, had canvas tunnel

sometimes did more harm than
good, because the tender men,

irritated and easily became in

The baby's mouth should be
let alone until after the teeth
come in. AS soon as several
teeth have appeared a small,
very soft toothbrush should be
used twice day.
A healthy baby who is prop
erly fed usually has a clean red
tongue and sweet odorless
breath. But some babies who

When bottles or nipples are
oarelessly sterilized or handled,
the baby's mouth may become
infected and show small white
spots or patches on gums, tom

PACIFIER UNNECESSARY
The home nurse may try
moistening small piece Of
sterile cotton with boiled water,
dipping it in a little baking soda
and touching the spots with it,
taking care not to rub them.
This should be done after each
