Reformers reform often to the di% advantage of all except a few job holders. Travelers returning from Tampa say} Governor Cone has clamped the lid so tight that a policeman has to know you before he will sell a bolita ticket—Fort Myers i ress. We can’t imagine that Tampa could be so wicket, and no wonder Governor Cone had to act with such severity. Conducting a newspaper in Russia, Germany or Italy is a hazardous occupa- tien, and some newrpaper men_ without intentional detraction are punished most severely. Often there are reprisals. These countries are depressed under yoke of dic- taterships, and are governed by decrees which are final and often brutal. In Ger- many, for instance, the Berlin Tempo was banned because a Stock Exchange report contained a few facts about the fall of German foreign loans, and the Es%ener Volkezeitung was suppressed because a question mark instead of an exclamation mark had been put by mistake after the headline: “Hindenburg Congratulates Hitler.” Freedom of the press should re- main a cherished institution in the United States, but if we are not constantly vigilant it will be loct, { Dental Institute of America. ‘elasia.” The word itself is a jaw-breaker sufficiently formidable to frighten us, and | the direase it represents is nothing to joke and next to tooth decay is the most prev- alent dental disorder, according to the -. Broadly speaking,.. pyorrhea,. consists \of diseased pockets about the teeth, the tissues supporting Which becime irritated for various ‘reasona . causing lowered .re- sistance to the invasion of.germsi In time, the germs destroy more ‘supporting tissue, the tooth is loosened and often lost. Pyorrhea literally means a flow of pus. “Neglect and ignorance account for the startling prevalence of this disea-p,” says the Institute, “for dental science has evolved a simple and highly effective method of treatment. Vast numbers of people are losing their teeth from sheer lack of dental care.” Statistics by some authorities indicate that the percentages of Americans having pyorrhea range about as follows: Af,20 years, 10 per éént} at 30 years, 50.’ per cent; at 40 yeaxs,.80 per cent; at 50 years, 90 per cent or.more, Records show that in nearly allad- vanced cases there is evidence of total neglect of professional dental attention over a considerable period of time. So whether we call it pyorrhea or use the more fearsome term, periodontoclasia, we should look out for this highly prev- alent diseaye, and have it treated early, thus preserving health and possibly ex- tending life. PREVENT, OR KEEP OUT, OF WAR? While the Congressmen are ironing out the wrinkles in their effort to prevent the United States from ever becoming em- broiled in a foreign war by passing “neu- trality” legislation it might be well to pass along the idea prevalent in many informed heads that no legislation will keep this nation out of a general war. In fact, experienced students of war- fare are very often convinced that, despite everything we can do, this nation will not be able to keep out of a general war. Re- cently, Anne O’Hare McCormick, foreign correspondent, expressing this view said that “our only safe policy is to try to pre- vent war.” While every citizen recognizes the'| desirability of staying out of European | and other foreign wars there are not! surance of attempting to assist the world ; | in the maintenance of peace. Such a policy involves risks, it is true, but they do not seem to be out of reason when we consider the gains that are possible. ‘ POPULAR NAMES FOR CHILDREN the experts are not to break into print and | sometimes they get into the news columns with weird and faycy tales. Occasionally, one comes forward with some splendid advice. Such is the case with W. E. Walton.
