NEW ORLEANS, July 17.—With general street car service promised by the end of the week, organized labor today sought to feel the public pulse before calling out all allied unions in | sympathy with striking carmen. i For the second time during the strike | of more than two weeks' duration the| executive committee of the unions met; THE “EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON.

William Ruth, chairman of the com- mittee, said the purpose of the meet- ing was to place before the people la- bor’s ‘“‘viewpoint on the street car strike situation.” The union chiefs a week ago called off a similar meeting in the hope that the citizens’ advisory committee, ap- pointed by the mayor, would succeed in bringing about friendly negotiations over a working contract between New Orleans Public Service, Inc., and the carmen’s union that would end the strike. ‘What progress the citizens’ commit- | tee has made in attempts at reconcil-| iation of differences has not been dis-| closed. Since the operation of street cars be- | gan this week, with armed Federal dtn-i Uty marshals enforcing a Federal Court | injunction against violence, service has increased gradually without renewal of the recent street rioting incited by the c. apany's attempt to run cars under protection of the police. Four imported workers were set upon and beaten near a car barn last night and a few arrests were made for re- viling remarks. E. N. SMITH PROMOTED IN NEW A. A. A. RANKING Head of D. C.

The other ladies at the party discussed such problems as you and I might discuss at & Sunday afternoon in this church. “There was no_excitement when I entered the White House.

It is called the Kolynos Dry- Brush Technique and consists of the use o? a half-inch of Kolynos Dental Cream on a dry tooth brush. The use of a dry tooth brush means that you use Kolynos, a highly concentrated dental cream, full strength; also that the brush bristles then remain stiff enough to scrub the tooth sur- faces properly and penetrate the crevices between the teeth, and thepitsand fissures in the grind- ing surfaces. You can use Kolynos on a dry brush because it foams pro- KOLYNOS DENTAL CREAM fusely in the mouth! The secret formula contains one ingredient that causes it to whip instantly into a surging foam. This foam is active and anti- septic. It works on the mucin coating on teeth like millions of tiny fingers, breaking it up and washing it completely off the teeth. Teeth are cleaned down to the naked white enamel without injury. The foam pushes its way into allthetinycrevicesinghemouth. It penetrates where no “inert” tooth paste can go. It cleansout and disinfects all those places where food particles lodge and cause decay. Prove It! All drug and toilet counters sell Kolynos. Buy a tube today.
