Appearance and personal
charm are valuable assets
when an individual of work
ing age goes out to find a job.
While many factors contribute
to charm and personality none
is more infectious than a win
some smile. An individual
whose clothes are aspic and
span, whose appearance is
chic, and whose manners are
perfect may infrequently feel
shy, self-conScious or a lack
of confidence from carious
teeth, loss of teeth or poorly
shaped teeth, especially of
those located in the front of
the mouth. Granting that all
of US cannot be endowed with
a smile that is a photogra-
piers delight much can be
done done towards proper
tooth formation and develop
ment during the growing pc
Rod.
Dental carries, or dental de
cay, is one Of the commonest
of human ailments. Only two
to three per cent Of the popu-
lation ever escapes it entirely.
Unlike most diseases which
can now with adequate social

vaIent with the progress Of
civilization.
In most pathological condi-
tions or physical injuries the
blood supply can bring repair
ing materials and even drugs
to the site of the, infection in
an effort to control the situa-
ton. But the .calcified (hard)
portion Of the teeth, unlike
other parts Of the body such
as the skin, kidney or bones,
is not furnished with a sys-
tenn of blood vessels carrying
a constant supply Of nutrients.
Consequently, its ability to re-
pair is never undertaken by
the healing processes Of the
body. AT best the cavities will
reach a certain size and pro-
gress no further; at worst they
will destroy the whole tooth
and cause infection nf the adj
jacent bone or some distant
part Of the body For example,
neglect of the teeth is often
held responsible for many
cases Of rheumatism, diseases
Of the eyes, ears, heart, kid
ney, stomach, intestines and
nerves.
We know that if a tooth is
well formed, it may resist des-
truction when otherwise cavi-
ties would have formed. Thus,
a perfectly formed tooth such
as should develop in q person
enjoying good health and ade-
quate nutrition should be less
likely to decay than a poorly
formed one. While the best
tooth is the soundest tooth,
the next best tooth is the one
with the least possible resto-
ration. The problem of remov-
al Of decay, choice Of filling
materials, and complete res
toration Of mechanical func-
ton are decisions for the dem
fist. So in order for the den
fist to detect and treat early
decays periodic visits to him
are recommended.

EDITORIAL.
ALL REPORTS o. NEED o RETURN OF TAXES
UP TO present time there have been MANY re-
ports economic and otherwise on conditions in the Virgin Is
lands. The one significant factor about all these reports IS that
they point to the need for help from the outside. Il should by|
now be clear that even if the Virgin Islands did all they DOS
sibly could, there would still be the need for help from the
outside.
THERE ARE many here and on the mainland who re-
gard the withholding of the Internal Revenue Taxes as being
discriminatory against the Islands. Every other territory or
possession has received its internal revenues, but the Virgin
Islands. It IS also known that if these Islands could secure
these taxes the grave economic situation would be relieved
Immediately. Why, then, the logged withholdngP The men
who are responsible for this Withholding at the same time
point to Uncle Sans Poorhouse1 and the headaches it pre-
sents tor congress. In the House not long ago one Represen-
tative made the damaging statement that the Islands are vast
ing the American taxpayers money, and added insult to in
jury BY claiming that the people Of the Islands viii not work.
With the return Of the Internal Revenue Taxes, which each
andeyery other possession has, the Virgin Islands would cease
to be the proverbial p~oorhouse, andwe could balance our bud
get, and cease to be the burden which certain people claim we
are.
IT'S DIFFICULT to understand exactlyswhy these tax
IS are being withheld. Taxes from our imports running into
millions could revert to the Islands for their benefit, vet Con
gress prefers to appropriate from year to year, after petition
ing, exactly what is necessary to balance a very close budget.
To pare that budget. any closer would send the Islands even
further away from the normal standard of living expected Of
every American possession. Every effort has been made, Gov
errors have treked to Washington, as have members of the
legislature and Others, and numerous newspaper articles have
been written, but still the discrimination continues. Yet re-
ports continue to indicate that these Islands cannot sup
port themselves. Of course they cannot, when the income
, 1948-12-09

from-their exports is withheld,
as is the case with no other
territory.
THE Islands can, & should
exert additional effort to pro-
duce all it.can at home so as to
come another step closer to
even out the balance between
import and export. But be that
as it may, the records land
there are many of them
show that outside help IS need
ed. Congress, aware Of this,
should take one or two steps
either return the Internal Re-
venue Taxes, or make the ne
cessary appropriations. While
the latter would help, the bet
ter, and BY far more satisfac-
tory measure would be to re-
turn the taxes On goods ez-
ported from the Islands. That
done, many a headache would
cease.

Initials on q Dime

Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, Director of the
Mint, has taken notice of the rumor that
the letters US" on the Roosevelt dime
signify Josef Stain" mo American with
a grain of gray matter" she says, would
think this Government would place the
initials of foreigner on our coins" But
the notion that a Communist agent
"sneaked" the Soviet dictator's monogram
into the design of the ten-cent piece may
persist In spite of official denial Such
legends have an amazing popularity. Nu-
mismatists and philatelists are familiar
with dozens of them.

was reported that an engraver in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing had
introduced certain ecclesiastical symbols

Courtesy Is CATCHING

The dea2behind the courtesy to visi-
tors campaign of the Greater National
Capital Committee is 50 good that the
program deserves to be broadened. A be-
kind to visitors movement is no less
desirable, certainly. than a friendship
movement among washingtonians gener,
ally. Fortunately, courtesy toward strsn-
gers tends to breed courtesy toward
everybody, so that the end result of the
campaign cannot help but be worthwhile
Furthermore. once the courtesy idea
catches hold of the folks, it is likely to
linger on indefinitely If three-week
campaign Is beneficial, year-round
courtesy campaign might be even more
advantageous. Since policemen, bus
drivers, streetcar conductors. building
guards and other persons dealing with
the public cannot always tell a visitor
from native, the good will may be ex-
pected to radiate indiscriminately-as 1T
should.
II the courtesy plan Is carried far
enough, 1t might even permeate to a field
where courtesy has become almost as
extinct as the dodo, namely, in the realm
OF motoring. 1t Is a peculiar thing-one
That students OF human behavior have not
been able to explain-that when an
ordinarily considerate human being settles
himself behind the wheel of an auto
mobile, courtesy flies out the window. He
becomes blind, unreasoning member of
the every-man-fo himself or never-con
cede-the- -right-of-way-unless- you have to
scnool. We would really have a greater
national Capital If the day ever should
come when automobile drivers succumbed
to the GNCC good will drive.

heard the tale and seemed willing to be-
lieve it. The fact that the offending
symbols could not be found in the design
did little to discourage discussion Even
now an occasional echo of the fable may
be heard among banknote collectors and
students of folklore.
Similarly, the idea that the two-cent

in spite of formal contradictions. The
composition was based on photograph

This and That

"A brown shape with very long ears stands
out In any suburban yard where the birds
dominate at feeding stations.
This shape. of course, is our old friend, the
wild rabbit
Cardinals and blue Jays are more colorful
but for Just plain downright fun in watching
wild bunny pleases many an observer.
Just how 1T survives in the face Of dogs.
cats and cars, Is unknown.
1t leads a precarious life but In the long
run manages to keep the family on the move
year after year.
Dogs. great fakers make the most noise
when pursuing a rabbit
It may be believed however that much OF
their noise is just something to cover up their
inability to catch 1t.
Dogs put their noses to the ground, bay
deeply, and move all four legs at once. but
they seldom catch Old Man Rabbit
Those long hind legs move the wild bunny
far faster than the stride of any dog.
Our own personal belief is that most subur-
ban dogs are slightly afraid of catching rab-
oits as If they did not know exactly what to
90 with them after they caught them.
Hence they take it easy, as they lope across
yards, rather hoping that the wild thing will
make its escape just before they reach it.
The domestic cat, for all his creeping, hasn't
chance with rabbit.
Tabby can come up with young rabbits, and
sometimes does. at nesting time, but that ts
easy. in comparison with an adult rabbit on
the go.
Few Of the smaller animals can move faster

That white tail takes on the aspect OF q
comet, as the creature streaks away.
Rabbits are bit on the stubborn side
Once we heard that they are supposed to
like alfalfa pellets.
There was q big rabbit In the yard, with
snow and ice on the ground.
It looked hungry, so we went downtown and
got it big bag of alfalfa.
fine mound of the alfalfa pellets was put
in the place where the animal had spent the
night before.
Do you think 1t ate any?
It did not!
The alfalfa was there for days. as also was
the snow. but the wild rabbit steadily ignored
the dry food.
It would not even sleep on It, but carefully
selected q place on the snow about two feet
away.
Since that time We have refrsinsd from
buying any special food for rabbits.
They can get aiong the best they can, and
do, as far as we can see.
There are always the canes Of rose vines
and shrubs. and even the bark Of trees. Rab-
bits seem to find nourishment in such things.
Once we placed carrots and lettuce out for
them.
Again, not piece Of the food was touched.
Perhaps the human smell does it.
Rabbits are peculiarly creatures OF the open,

Songsters come and 60. and If we feed
them, most Of them do not seem 50 Wild after

Some even come to hand and many of them

But the wild rabbits shun us, and no doubt
they are right, as wisdom is among them.

Ruciul Riders

The House Appropriations Committee
has acted wisely in striking down an
attempt by one of its subcommittee to
use the device Of appropriation bill riders
as a weapon against segregation in the
South ..
Under the subcommittee rider, some
SITS, 900 900 to be provided for such things
as hospital construction, vocational re-
Mobilization and education would. be with
held from States which permit segregation
in employment and in schools. In other
words, II the Southern States wanted to
share in these Federal funds, to which
they would have contributed by payment
of taxes, they would have to do away with
the segregation practices at which the
rider Is aimed.
The full committee, by a vote Of twenty
FIVE to six, struck out the rider and wisely
so. For 1t is idle to suppose that the prob
lens raised by racial discrimination can or
should be dealt with In any such manner
as this.
In the f1rst place, 1t is mistake to think
that the Southern States can be coerced
into abandoning segregation through the

were to be adopted its only result would be
fewer schools, hospitals and so forth in
the States where these facilities are needed
most, by white and colored alike. Secondly,
If the question of segregation in some
States is proper subject of Federal regu-
lation, which is exceedingly doubtful. then
the matter should be approached directly
and openly, not through any such devious
method as that set out in the subcom-
mittee rider
Some House leaders are reported to
have said privately that it would be good
politics" to push the rider through when
the bill comes to vote on the floor. And
1t may be that it would enable the Re-
publicans to pick up some Negro votes in
States like New York and Illinois Assum-
ing this to be true, however, there is ample
reason to believe that the partisan advan-
tage gained by the Republicans would be
more than offset by the damage done to
the 1ong-range effort to secure a better
deal for the Negro in the South.

The Condor Case

At this stage of the controversy over the
criticism which has been made OF DR..
Edward u. Condor, director of the Bureau
of Standards, one should be wary of leap
Inc tn conclusions. There are at least three
conclusions. however which seem clearly
Indicated and which can safely be drawn.
One. is that there should be full public
,nvestisat ton of the accusations against
DR.. Condor.
This is essential because OF the i'm
portance of the position held by DR. Con-
don and because the published evidence
AGAINST him, while one-sided and highly
inconclusive, Is still enough, standing
alone. to raise doubt as to the wisdom OF
retaining him in key position af1ectins
our national security
The second conclusion is that this pubic
Investigation should be conducted by the
Joint Confessional Committee on Atomic
Energy. and not by the House Committee
nm Un-American Activities or any sub
committee OF the latter group.
The House group should step out of the
picture because Its subcommittee has
handled the Condor case In such way
as to destroy confidence in any findings 1t
might make, even after a public hearing.
The essential facts supporting this con-
tention are that the subcommittee on
March published Its blast against DR..
: Condor without giving him any oppor-
tunity to be heard in self-defense, that the
subcommittee report did not disclose that
the Department of Commerce Loyalty
Board had exonerated DR.. Condor of dis
loyalty. and that, by omitting significant
sentence, the subcommittee statement gave
an inaccurate picture Of an FBI report on
DR.. Condor. A further reason Is that the
Atomic Energy Committee is the congress
sional agency most directly concerned with
atomic security, and should therefore take
Jurisdiction of this important matter.
The third conclusion Is that the Depart
ment of Commerce has acted properly in
refusing to make its confidential file on the
Condor loyalty investigation available to
the House committee.
This refusal is justified on the same
ground as the refusal to turn this informa-
ton over to persons accused of disloyalty-
namely, that the life of the loyalty pro-
gram depends upon keeping secret the
Identity of individuals and other sources
of information drawn on by the loyalty
boards. When one considers some of the
irresponsible performances of the House
Committee on Un-American Activities it
would be unwise, not to say downright
foolish, to suppose that confidential 10y
atty information. once in It's possession,
would long remain secret.
AS for other conclusions. especially any
conclusion as to the loyalty or discretion
Of DR.. Condor, Judgment should be sus
pended until after the public hearing has
been held.

to their disadvantage and in favor OF dairy
farmers.
1t is just possible that the committee
may be Influenced by this pressure from
a growing and hence politically influential
farm group to do what no other commit
tee has done-report . repeal or modifi-
cation bill to the House, where it can be
debated on its merits. This Is the only
fair and logical course for the committee
to take, II 1t wishes to serve the interests
of all the people-not of selfish few.
