THANK YOUR DENTIST
The hardy dweller of old never had modern delicacies
like cake, creamed chicken and ice cream. He gnawed his
meat off the bone and ate unhulled grain—and, according to
some modern theorists, because of that fact he had healthy
teeth.
However, Dr. E. B. Renauld. professor of anthropology
at Denver university, has been looking at the skulls ot anc
ient cliff dwellers in Mesa Verde national park, and he finds
evidence to the contrary. These old-timers, who lived on
coarse tough foods all their lives, hud cavities in plenty,
And one must shudder painfully to think of having
suffered from toothache just as we do, and also had pyorrhea,
toothache in a land where the only possible remedy was to
summon a neighbor and have him knock the decayed tooth
out of your head with a pointed stone !
PLIGHT OF THE SCHOOLS
Public education should be given priority in any public
works bill which the President recommends or the congress
enacts into law.
Public education is the cornerstone of the American
svstem of government and it is in peril today all over the
United States because it has been deprived of public funds,
which are the life blood of its support.
Thanks to a partial survey recently made by the federal
office of education, the facts are at hand to justify emergency
aid for public education north, east, south and west.
This survey shows that at least six hundred twenty-six
million dollars is needed immediately for public school build
ing construction throughout the country.
This estimate is based on returns received from twenty
four state departments of education and half the cities of
over 2,500 population in forty-five states.
Returns from twenty-four states, in which this federal
survey has been completed, show that 9.828 school building
projects, at an estimated cost of $241,285,254, are needed in
rural areas.
Returns from 1,026 cities of 2.500 population and over
show that 2,915 public school buildings, at an estimat
ed cost of $384,713,768, are badly needed in urban areas.—

HE READ A BOOK
Whatever we think of progressive polygamy in Holly
wood, our hearts bleed for the grand duchess of cinema bed
scenes who has just divorced her third husband.
That callous brute, she charged, made a practice of sitt
ing up in their connubial chamber until all hours of the
morning reading books. It seems plain that the sin charged
was one of commission and not omission, since she also re
lated that (plainly as a result of his outrageous eccentricity)
he was sarcastic, embarrassed her at social functions and
refused to mingle with her guests.
Imagine, if you can, the torment of this brave little girl
as she swept into some gay ballroom. With a gracious smile
to rival sirens, she sought to hide the bitter knowledge that
they were already pointing out her escort as the man who ,
read a book. Judged by the mental standards of the com
munity. the fellow was nuttier than a flagpole sitter.—Chi
cago Tribune.
did you ever stop to think?
By Edson R. W aite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
John Garland Pollard, former Governor of Virginia, '
suys “We look with toleration and often with admiration
upon the slickness of the politician who cleverly avoids
every issue, who never leads public sentiment but who al
ways follows, who has no convictions, who entertains no
worthy aspirations, but whose only desire is to remain in
power for selfish purposes.
"Such men invariably change as their personal interests
dictate; they do not belong to those brave spirits who fight
and win the battles of right. They are mere camp followers
who live on the spoils of war.
"They fill their greedy hands with the plunder of pa
tronage. a by-product of the hard fought battles of peace in
which brave men risk and often lose their political lives.”
The merchant whose face is long and gloomy and talks
-poor business” all the time sure will have it.
