It is a cs flict between two organized factions. Revolt in the republic across the Rio Grande used to be largely a tis- sue of banditry flung across the inaccessible places in which that wild country abounds. When it failed we i centers of population, it could be maintained by Pent forays out of the mountains. Brigand chiefs like Pancho | eneralissimos. Fae erate were hard to crush. When the populous places had been rid of rebels and calmed, the revolu- tions would linger in the wild fastnesses and ie atthe and the government which arose out of the flareup was always a long time in mopping up and bringing the Jand to another breathing spell of quiet and peace. ‘The old conditions of revolution were due to the old system of peonage. The ordinary Mexican, mixture mostly of Indian with an infiltration of Spaniard, so steeped in poverty and ignorance that he did not know |; his soul was his own, was more easily led into revolu- : tion. He might not know what it all was about, but he ‘was so accustomed to implicit obedience to his officers. if in the army, or to the authorities, in civil life, that when he was bidden in florid phrases by his gold-braided ‘and mustachioed commanders to arm and fight, he ac- cepted orders as duty, heaved his sombrero into the air with a chorus of “vivas!” and was at the beck and call of the conspirators. Since the day when Obregon pacified the country ‘and had himself elected to the presidency, conditions have changed. Obregon was an organizer. So was Calles who succeeded him. Between them they put the Mexi- can army on a new basis. Instead of barefoot troops, the men were shod and uniformed and given modern arms and well fed. An era of military discipline banished f the old tatterdemalion days into which Mexico mili- > tarily had lapsed with the abdication of Porfirio Diaz and the long period of revolt and banditry and assassina- tion that strove to clutch the reins of authority which the old dictator-president had dropped. ‘The army took on # businesslike aspect. Furthermore, the soldiers learned to read. In a fsint way they have _ begun to think for themselves. They now can inform : themselves what it all is about. In the old days when A anything was to be debated in Mexico, there was not in- telligence sufficient in the average run of the people | to permit of verbal discussion. The sole mode of thresh- , ing out an issue that was within the grasp of the Mexi- cans was that of force. Might made right. So they had resort to arms instead of words or votes to settle their differences—that is the differences of the outs and the ins—the ambitious men on horseback, the intriguing demagogues seeking to exploit the country, the conspir- ing catspaws for foreign investis.ent interests, either type of which could be relied on periodically to light the torch of revolt and set the whole conflagration of comic-opera Tebellion in flame again. Word from Mexico is that the government is using this ability of the soldiers to read as a means of fighting the uprising. Aviators fly over the rebel lairs and drop Teading matter in which the revolt is argued. The revolutionary soldiers are led to see the selfishness of their leaders. An appeal is made to such loyalty as they feel for their country’s welfare, and the result is to honeycomb the revolt. ‘ 4 ‘ { i q { 4 of a great pageant. The far-flung spaces of the contuuent have been shrinking for a century; New York and San Francisco are closer than New York and Boston were @ century ago. Look at the whole picture. First there were the ox- teams and the lone riders, struggling along over roads that were no more than trails, proud of their speed it they accomplished 20 miies in a day. Then, as roads were improved, came the stage coaches--picturesque, colorful and slow, linkiag together the infant cities of the cast. and followed by the wagons in which all of the inland freight was carried. The west began to beckon. Huge wagons labored over the Alleghenies. Pittsburgh was a distant outpost. to be reached only after a long journey. The wagons were neither fast, capacious nor cheap enough: canals were dug, and the ungainly canal boats became all-important Then came the railroad. Slow and crude at first, it quickly won the favor of everyone. Towns vied witn each other for places on the right-of-way. Places that the railroads missed shriveled and died; more fortunate ones grew great and rich. The railroads made it possible for the country to develop as a unit; when they were once established, the great industrial and commercial growth of the last half of the nineteenth century got under way. More recently the automobile emerged to change things again. It made a rover out of the settled city man and ended the isolation of distant tarms. It altered countless customs, changed the layout of cities, brought in a whole new set of standards and habits. And now—the airplane. Look carefully at the amaz- ing growth of this newest form of transportation. It may be the beginning of yet another era in our national Ife. WHEN MEMORY FAILS The present season is one of two times during the year when many an individual regrets he had not se- riously studied a memory training correspondence course during the winter. The memory course might not im- prove matters but one always feels that the one un- picked horse will take the purse. Twice each year the household changes its colors. Each time certain things are stored away and certain other things are resurrected from storage. At the present time winter equipment is being stored in the attic, base- ment and closet and summer fixtures are being dusted off and repainted for use once more. Now, when these seasonal changes are made, careful people put everything where it can be found without a hunt when it is again needed. But no matter how care- ful they were, six months later the question is “Where?” Last fall great care was taken in putting away for the winter the screws for the screen door, the bolts for the awnings, the oil can and wrench for the lawn mower, the garden tools, the nozzle of the garden hose, road maps, picnic equipment, the many items in the golf out- fit and the summer toggery. Here is one advantage the naked savage has ever civilized man. And certainly the office manager, who has his filing system so minutely indoxed and cross- indexed that he doesn’t know where to start looking for what he wants, is no worse off than the householder who has long since lost the mental filing case he made last fall. Something must be done about it. Perhaps someone can think up something new in a statutory remedy. AFTER DEATH Suppose you and a friend ran away {rom civilization and built a log cabin in the woods. After finishing, you'd say: “Well, that's a pretty good | Job for just the two of us.” Then, becoming philosophical, you'd add: “Of course, we have to give some credit to the many men, now dead, who invented axes, saws, hammers and nails tor us. Without their efforts, the job would have taken us much longer. In effect, the dead men exercised the same in- fluence as if they were here and helped us.” Look about you and you'll observe that nearly every- thing you use in daily life is a gift from the dead, The inventors have passed on. But, through their creations, they continue as active producers. If all traces of former generations were erased—includ- ing inventions, short-cut production methods and fixed wealth, like buildings and roads—it would require eight men to do the work now done by one. With cach generation, the standard of living advances. And each generation flatters itself that it alone is responsible for the advance. As a matter of fact, most of the advance is a gift from the dead, the accumulation of their efforts and discoverics, Similarly, we of this gencration are preparing the stan- dard of living for generations to follow. Man, thus, operates in an unlimited expanse of time. Human energy and Productive effort are immortal. Meanwhile the loyalty and peacefulness of the people {m the uninfected areas is stimulated by the newspapers and by pamphlets and a bulwark is built up against the further spread of the uprising. Thus Mexico is coming at last to wielding the most Potent weapon against armed unrest, which is the 4s possible that the ebullient spirit of periodical revolt ; ‘will be abandoned and the public affairs of the nation il come to be fought out in discussion and decided by !

They realized that many struc- tural defects of the jaws and an early decay of the teeth are often caused by a lack of the right food elements during the formative years of life. It has been found that a deficiency of fat soluble A vitamin causes the odontoclasts (the cells which form the teeth) to form a much softer bone structure instead of dentin. This causes the dentin of the teeth to be less dense and much less resistant to decay. In experiments upon rats it has been found that when the diet is defi- cient in the antiscorbutic vitamins, the dentin-forming cells cease to function, but upon the administration of orange juice or other foods con- taining these vitamins, new dentin be- gins to form within one or two days.

Do you think it should be re- moved surgically? If so, where would you advise taking him?” Answer: I suggest that you put your little boy on a short fruit fast and follow this with a well balanced diet, for which I am sending you by mail. I believe in the ing the years when the teeth are forming and growing, it is possible to determine whether the permanent teeth are to last throughout life or | whether they will decay in the early twenties, Excess acidity of the stomach is di- rectly responsible for most of the diseases which affect the teeth and such diseases as pyorrhea cannot be cured by direct treatment to the teeth alone, but must be eliminated by con- stitutional measures which will affect the general health, with the principal care given to correct diet and espe- Clally to food combinations. Once the teeth have become fully developed they must be guarded care- fully even though they have not been nourished as well as they should have been during childhood. One can Prevent decay to a large degree by keeping the teeth thoroughly clean. The American custom of finishing a meal with a sweet, starchy dessert is not a good one, as some of this sticky, fermentable food usually clings to the teeth or within the crevices and forms the first focal point of de- cay.

Ae FE BBN OCCUPATION OF BOSTON One hundred and fifty-three years ago today General Washington and an untrained, poorly equipped army occupied Boston after General Gage and his British had evacuated the city. It was the first pleasant news of the Revolution. For almost a year—from July, 1775, ue bebe Ue te took his place at ie head of the army at Cambridge, Mass, until March 18, 1776—the Americans had laid prayerful siege to Boston, but with the resources at their command there was little they could do to dislodge Gage and his well-trained, well-fed regiment. Finally, by a skiliful maneuver at night, the American army secured @ position on Dorchester Heights from which its guns could sweep the Bos- ton harbor, and Gage removed his army from the city. Thus, without the firing of a single shot, the first victory of the Revolu- tion was won. General Gage—and the American soldiers—did not know thot many of Washington's barrels of “powder” stacked in as conspicuous ® place as possible, contained nothing more deadly than sand! answer to the question: What would the world lose if we were suddenly to die? Would not many people be rather startled to discover that in their death the: world would not lose very much after all? Someone might mourn for them and some small circle might be affected, but would any good cause or any great endeavor be really worse off, or would the life of any one in the world be morally or spiritually poorer? When we put the estimate of our lives in that bald and very practical way we ought to see very readily in what life consists. It is the invest- ment of real living and influence that marks the real worth of our lives, and where there is no such moral and spiritual investment life is the mere semblance of living.
