SEPARATE UNION
Sleeping and Dining Car Employees' Union Seeks to Block Secession.
MOVE STYLED TRAITOROUS
Leaders Say Men Will Not Get Full Benefit Under Plan Now Proposed.
Colored sleeping and dining car employees of the railroads running into the Twin Cities who are united into the Sleeping and Dining Car Employees Union will make a determined effort to prevent the withdrawal of the Great Northern employees from the union by a further appeal to the men next Tuesday, R. S. Harris, president, announced last night.
"We do not believe that the men fully realize just what they are giving up by consenting to form this separate union," Mr. Harris said. "The present union was formed to secure wages and working conditions that the men were unable to get by individual bargaining with their respective roads. Now that the union has been formed, has functioned successfully and has been recognized as bargaining party by the Labor Board, the roads, it nothing short of suicide to return to the old method of individual bargaining with the individual roads. That method has proved itself ineffective.
Say Leaders to Blame.
"Then, too, the fact that the Great Northern is active in helping to form this separate union shows that it recognizes that the real strength of the men is in our organization. It wants a separate "Great Northern" union because it knows that such an organization will never be able to demand and secure the conditions which our present union can secure."
Mr. Harris expressed the belief that the men themselves did not lean strongly toward the separate union idea, but that the institution was due to the activity of a few disgruntled leaders whom he characterized as being "more concerned with their standing with the company than with the welfare of the men."
Concessions Dangerous.
W. R. Donovan, chairman of the union, pointed out the danger in the concessions that the company was asking the men to make when they joined the separate union.
"The most significant clause in the agreement desired by the railroad is that one which specifies that the employee shall not become a member of any other such organization while in the employ of the railroad," said Mr. Donovan. "Thus the men sacrifice any chance of joining any organization which has as its purpose the termen of felled emplaced on other roads. They must design this agreeable place themselves wholly in the hands of the company, and if the company sees fit to disregard the union the men must either accept or quit. They will have no independent bargaining power like the present union to fall back upon."
"Suggestions Treason."
Mr. Donovan was of the opinion that every loyal colored man will present any suggestions made "either by individuals or corporations that the colored employees of the Great Northern railway or any other railway should refrain from joining or participating in any organization or movement which has for its purpose the betterment of themselves and the race." In a characteristic statement the chairman said: "Such a suggestion is an infringement of personal liberty and is an insult to these men. Suggestions of this nature coming from a colored man or group of colored men smack of disloyalty, and may rightly be termed traitorous."
R. C. Shane, 934 Gaultier street, is general secretary of the union succeeding Clarence H. Roper. At the meeting of the union in Welcome hall next Tuesday at 2:30 P. M., the matter of the separate union will come up for discussion.
KLAN "PALACE" SEIZED
BY ATLANTA SHERIFF
Atlanta, Ga., April 4—Sheriff J. I. Lowry of Fulton county with a force of deputies early today took charge of the imperial palace, headquarters of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, under an order signed by Judge E. D. Thomas, dispossessing W. J. Simmons, imperial wizard, who took charge of the headquarters and the Klan Tuesday under a temporary injunction obtained by him against Imperial Wizard H. W. Evans.
Sherif Lowry at once proceeded to the imperial palace on Peach Tree road and placed Deputy Sheriff Milan in charge, all of the Simmons' faction leaving after having taken charge when they obtained a temporary injunction against Imperial Wizard emperorollo that threatened emperor undertook to organize a woman's order on the lines of the Ku Klux Klan.
Passage was unanimous in the face of efforts of the klan to open a two-year campaign in the state to abolish parochial schools. The campaign was opened with the arrival in St. Paul late yesterday of an emissary of the klan sent from Oregon.
THE HELPER HAS EIGHTH BIRTHDAY
Church and Social Service Organ
Grew Because it Helped
Others, Says Editor.
THE HELPER, local church and
social service publication, has just
passed its eighth birthday. Editor
Thomas R. Morgan is receiving many
congratulations upon the remarkable
growth and success of his paper
which has in truth grown from a tiny
infant to a healthy, robust eight-year-
old. Hereweth is reproduced a fac-
simile of the first HELPER, issued
March 28, 1915. As can be seen it
was then only about calling card
size. The present size of the paper
is ten inches by three columns.
Editor Morgan attributes the
growth of the paper to the policy of
printing bright, cheerful news, and
the gospel of helpfulness.
"THE HELPER believes that it has started and kept alive a spirit that is the surest means to group progress—the "helper spirit" Mr. Morgan said. "It has always believed that the good that people do should be noticed in preference to the evil and that everyone should be encouraged to help the other fellow along the road. As a result of this preaching, the Helper movement has reached out to many of our biggest men and corporation in St. Paul and given them a new conception of their colored population. From St. Paul it has spread to many other cities. In its ninth year and all the other years THE HELPER will continue to publish the doctrine of helpful co-operation."
The Helper movement was started 18 years ago with the motto, "Be a Helper." The first officers are still in office: Thomas R. Morgan, president; S. Ed. Hall, vice president, and O. C. Hall, secretary. Headquarters are in the Hall Bros. barbershop in the Pittsburgh building.

THE APPEAL.
HEAD NEW APPEAL COMPANY
JOHN Q. ADAMS
John Q. Adams, son of the late John Q. Adams, veteran editor and publisher of The Appeal is the president of the newly organized Appeal Publishing company which began operation April 1. Mr. Adams was closely associated with his father's business for many years, and consequently, is able to bring to the new company an intimate knowledge of the printing and publishing business. In addition to his duties as an executive Mr. Adams will be in full charge of the company's job printing shop, which is now the largest colored shop in the two cities.
Mrs. Adina Adams Gibbs of Minneapolis, will hold the office of vice president in the new firm. Roy Wilkins is the treasurer of the new publishing firm. Mr. Wilkins chief service, however, will be in the
BENEFIT SHOWS NET
N. A. A. C. P. $900
"Liza," "Shuffle Along" and Other Artists Play to Crowded Houses
New York, April 6.—A benefit performance given for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Lafayette Theater, New York City, March 27, by the full cast of the musical revue, "Liza" assisted by members of the cast of "Shuffle Along," company number 3, crowded the house so that every seat was taken and late comers had to stand. Incomplete returns show that the performance netted the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People about $900. Besides the two companies, whose casts made the entertainment, a number of independent artists volunteered their services.
Irving Miller and Maceo Pinkard producers of "Liza" gave their services of the cast without cost. In connection with the benefit the N. A. A. C. P. issued the following statements: "Two entirely colored musical revues have had phenomenal success in New York on Broadway. Both of these revues, 'Shuffle Along,' and 'Liza,' have generously given their services and their enthusiastic spirit to benefit performances for the N. A. A. C. P. The association commends the fine spirit shown to prevail in the ranks of the leaders of the theatrical profession, and desires to thank publicly the producers and casts of both 'Shuffle Along,' and 'Liza,' as well as the independent artists who gave of their best."
"Problem Cases" Among Ex- Service Men.
As the rehabilitation work of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau proceeded, cases involving peculiar difficulties naturally arose. There were men who had been tried out in one line of training, often another, occasionally half a dozen or more. In none of them could the man seem to make good. It seemed impossible for him to acquire sufficient skill to be able to make a living at the end his period of training. Such men have been termed "problem cases." They are indeed a problem!
The most prolific source of such cases is men of little education, who have les than an average education. Such men often aspire to employment objectives far beyond the possibility of attainment. Other problem cases are men who have a nervous disability or some special disability that interferes with their activities in their desired employment activities, or that it makes it difficult to problem case is a man for whom it seems impossible to find an employment objective for which he can qualify because of lack of education, stability, adaptability, or was disability.
The U. S. Veteran's Bureau, District No. Ten, C. D. Hibbard, District Manager, Minneapolis, Minnesota has organized a special unit to study these cases and work toward their successful solution. This unit has an employment representative, a psychologist, three expert training men, two psychiatric physicians, a home visitor, a home physician. This committee will give constant and expert care to every aspect of the man's health, training and home environments.
PETER J. BROWN
journalistic side of the business, inasmuch as most of his training has been in this field. In June he will be graduated from the University of Minnesota with a B. A. degree. In addition to his study of the theory of journalism in the classroom, Mr. Wilkins has had three years of experience on the Minnesota Daily, the student newspaper, as a reporter, copy reader, and editor. For a short time last year he was editor of the Northwestern Bulletin, of this city, and for the past four months he has been on the editorial staff of The Appeal.
Odell D. Smith is the secretary of the new company. Mr. Smith's contribution to the company will be his training in office technique and business management. Beside purely secretarial duties, he will handle all accounts, subscriptions, and other financial matters of the firm. Mr. Smith's experience and training was obtained in the public and business schools of Burlington, Iowa. Since he has resided in St. Paul he has successfully managed the business affairs of a community club as well as participated in general community movements.
Garvey Again Suspends "Daily Negro Times"
(Crusader Service.)
New York, April 6.—If this thing keeps us, the "Daily Negro Times," Marcus Garvey's newspaper, will soon have had more suspensions to its discredit than publications to its credit. For the "Daily Negro Times" has suspended again! It stopped all of a sudden last Friday. The last that was seen of its staff they—editors, reporters, and mechanical force—were all engaged in a heated controversy outside the office that savored very much of back wages unpaid. In fact, there's talk of another suit or series of suits against the "Honorable" Marcus Garvey, self-styled "world famous orator," on the part of his unpaid and dissatisfied employees. In the meantime, the suspension of the "Daily Negro Times" brings to mind the fact of the non-appearance of the widely advertised "Black Man Magazine," subscriptions for which have been solicited for the past nine months through the columns of the Garvey paper. It is also reminiscent of the earlier failures of the "Black Star Steamship Line," the "Negro Factories Corporation," the steam laundry, the restaurant and the grocery store, which formerly played the role of fly-paper with which unwary were lured into the Garvey organization.
ORCHARD aAN GARDEN NOTES
Plant two or three dozen or more gladioli blubs this spring.
Lettus, radish, optons, spinach and parsnips may be planted early. The ground should be easily worked and in good condition before planting.
A few good hand tools, such as hand seeders and cultivators, make garden work easy. Plant in long rows in well prepared soil.
Don't be in a hurry to uncover strawberries and perennials. Leave a part of the cover on as long as possible.
Seeds may be planted in a sheltered part of the garden for transplanting later, as soon as the soil can be easily worked.
Many gardeners and fruit growers could easily increase their sales during the summer by a little careful advertising. Try it, it's worth while.
Vegetables have a greater food value than many people think. A garden of ten or a dozen kinds should add a pleasing variety to the table all summer. Plan and plant for all year's use.
Be sure your vegetable and flower seeds are of good quality. It costs no more to raise good varieties than poor, and there is a lot more pleasure in it.
The home flower garden should not be neglected. Cut flowers will prove worth while for home decoration all summer. A few perennials should be planted. Annuals give quick returns and liberal plantings of favorites should be made—University Farm, St. Paul.
Walter Chesnutt, editor and part owner of The Northwestern Bulletin of this city, died early yesterday morning of scarlet fever at the city and county hospital. Who would have been 21 years old in few days, was one of the youngest colored editors in the country.
Was Athlete.
He was graduated from the George Weitrecht Mechanic Arts high school here in January, 1921. While there he was prominent in athletics, winning letters in track, in the low hurdles and dashes.
Since graduation he has been active in community affairs, especially since he founded The Bulletin in February, 1922. The first issue of this paper appeared in the last week of February and almost immediately commanded national attention because of its clean cut make-up and general superiority over the average colored week. Under his leadership the university moved into the world of the colored press and drew enthusiastic commendation from leading colored journalists.
Paper Won Praise.
Melvin J. Chium, field secretary of the National Negro Press association wrote of The Bulletin: * * * it is the best appearing of all the fifty odd exchanges I receive with the bare exception of the Chicago Defender, and while not as a large a paper as the Defender, it is every bit, in grain, as Mr. Chewstu is survived by a sister, Mrs. Bernice Davis, and his mother. His mother arrived from Iowa just before his death.
SEWING CIRCLE FORMED BY CITY CLUB WOMEN
Co-operative Effort to Supply Needy with Clothing is Started
On Monday afternoon, April 2, a group of club women at the "Y" center organized a sewing circle. The object of the newly organized circle is to furnish garments and bedding for the needy, regardless of age, race, or creed. Plans were made for the fall distribution of clothing and arrangements made to secure a stand in the Railroad building for the collection of garments. The president of the Needlework Guild extended the new circle a cordial invitation to work with them. Mrs. Mattie Hicks reported many cases of need and urged every club woman to co-operate. Mrs. Anna Jordan, vice president of the Minnesota Federation of Colored Women's clubs, Mrs. Mae Black Mason, president of the district federation, and Mrs. Bettie Jones all urged co-operation in social uplift. Mrs. Estella Wiley was elected president; Mrs. Sarah Morgan Warren, vice president; Mrs. Agnes Green, secretary, and Mrs. Mattie Hicks and Mrs. Anna Ramsey, the investigating committee. Mrs. Bettie Jones was elected treasurer.
JUDGE WILLIAM KELLY TO RETIRE APRIL 13
District Judge William Louis Kelly, vengable senior judge of the Ramsey county bench, today made application to Governor Preus for retirement as provided in the bill passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor ten days ago. Judge Kelly will retire April 13. The retirement of Judge Kelly will create a vancancy on the Ramsey county district court bench, which Governor Preus will have to fill. While no definite announcement has been made as to the probable successor to Judge Kelly, it generally has been conceded that County Attorney Richard D. O'Brien will be named, although several other attorneys are said to be urged for the place.

Ethics of Jesus Held Insufficient Now
(Crusader Service.)
New York, April 6—In his closing address before the Sunday evening forum at the Etheical Culture Meeting House yesterday Alfred W. Martin discussed what he called "The Inafficiency of the Ethics of Jesus."
tenty of other Jesus." As moral counselor, he said, "Jesus confined himself to the ethics of personal life, for the excellent reason that in Judea in his day personal ethics was the paramount issue. Social and international ethics, therefore, were none of his concern, and the fact explains why the world is still drifting on such issues as the spiritual significance of marriage and the ethics of divorce. "It is safe to say that if the scope of Jesus' teaching had included these problems, our civilization would be further ahead than it is. For moral and spiritual clairvoyance Jesus had a distinct and exalted genius second to none."
DAYTONA NORMAL GETS DORMITORY
Prominent People at Dedication of New Structure Costing $62,000.
Daytona, Fla., April 6.—Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute has dedicated a splendid three-story, fireproof dormitory, recently completed at $62,000. The dedicatory address was delivered by Bishop William F. Anderson of the Methodist Episcopal church, before hundreds of Daytona citizens.
Dr. I. Barland Penn of Cincinnati, spoke on Penn education in the South, which he said is progressing at an encouraging rate, the Southern states having expended thirty-five million dollars for this purpose last year. President N. B. Young of the Florida A. & M. College, also spoke optimistically as to the educational outlook for the race.
Other distinguished guests and speakers were Mrs. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and Mrs. Julia Coleman of Washington, and Mrs. Addie Dickerson of Philadelphia, who brought greetings from their respective groups. The mayor of the city was present and assured the school of the interest and appreciation of the local community.
Opportunity was given friends of the institution to pledge financial support. An aggregate of $20,000 was raised, including a single gift of $10,000 from the chairman of the Board of Trust, Mr. James N. Gamble of Cincinnati. The founder and principal, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, was given a continuous ovation by speakers and audience, many high tributes being paid to her devoted support. She has built up her ability. Beginning eighteen years ago without capital, she has built up an institution with assets of over $300,000 and a student body of 370 girls. Plans are being considered to double the school's capacity and make it co-educational.

NORTH DAKOTA TO DEMAND INQUIRY INTO FLOGGING
North Dakota Charges Convict Labor System Responsible for Boy's Death
Agitation May Result in Abolition of "Farming Out" Labor to Prison Camps.
(Crusader Service.)
Langdon, N. D., April 5—Out of the death in a Southern convict camp of a white farmer boy who started out to "see the world," has arisen the extraordinary situation of North Dakota, as a state, protesting to Florida, as a state, against the conditions which made the tragedy possible.
Virtual Slavery.
Tales of virtual human slavery in convict lumber camps of the Florida swamps where "whipping bosses" reign with a brutality compared to which that of a Simon Legree or a "hard-boiled" Smith seems mere Pollyanna stuff, were related by Gudmundur Grimson, assistant attorney general of North Dakota, who spent Tuesday in the Twin Cities. Mr. Grimson is on his way to Florida to demand an investigation of the death of Martin Tabert in a prison camp. The farmer boy who was the first cause of this unusual series of events involving the first real protests by whites against the system which has for so long victimized the colored populations of the South, was Martin Tabert of a well known family of Munich, Cavalier County. He died Feb. 1, 1922, in a lumber camp in Leon County, Fla. For six months his death meant nothing to anybody but his family. In the year of 1921, Martin Tabert, twenty-two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Tabert of Munich, decided he would spend the remainder of the season in the Central States and the winter in the South. All went well with him until he reached Florida "broke."
Sentenced to Ninety Days.
On Dec. 15, 1921, he was arrested by a deputy sheriff in Leon County, Fla., for stealing a ride on a railroad train. He was then taken before an official, who fined him $25, or in lieu of payment sentenced him to serve ninety days. He was unable to pay the fine and wired his brother to send him $50 to pay his fine and help him come him. His brother and parents sent a draft for $75, but Martin had been "farmed out" to the Putman Lumber Co. before it arrived. In February, in answer to letters from North Dakota, the Putman Lumber company wrote that Martin had died while he was working. The Tahsra never expected that anything was wrong until recently, when through the North Dakota authorities, formal charges that the convict system of Florida had resulted in the death of the boy were made.
Beaten to Death.
"Affidavits of fellow prisoners and other evidence will be presented which will prove that Walter Higginbotham, whipping boss, was directly responsible for the death of "Martin Tabert," declared the death of Mr. Grimson. "This case already has attracted nationwide attention. In addition to punishing the guilty parties, we hope to arouse public opinion to a degree which will demand the repeal of all laws permitting the farming out of prisoners. Leon county, from which Mr. Tabert was sentenced, has discontinued this practice as the result of our investigation and we propose to continue the fight until this outrage against civilization is entirely wiped out.
Prisoners Worth $20 a Head.
"My investigation has disclosed that J. R. Jones, sheriff of Leon county, who arrested Martin Tabert, received $20 a head for the delivery of prisoners to the Putman Lumber company. Mr. TaTbert was charged with riding a freight train and sentenced to pay a fine of $25 or spend ninety days in jail.
Friends of the Tabert family already have subscribed over $2,000 to carry on the investigation and to permit tMr. Grimson to take his witnesses to Florida. Judge W. J. Knee-shaw, of Pembina, N. D., will assist Mr. Grimson in prosecuting the case.
Good Will in Chattanooga.
Mayor A. W. Chambliss, of Chattanooga, speaking recently before the local Business Club, urged that the club get behind three greatly needed philanthropic enterprises in behalf of the colored people of the community. These were a building for delicult colored girls, the establishment of a colored orphan's home, and an addition of colored patients. Chattanooga recently established a colored branch library. It started with 4,000 volumes, and is located in the Howard High School building.

AT YOUR SERVICE
With this issue of THE APPEAL a larger corps of officers and members of the editorial staff takes charge of the destinies of the printing and publishing business that has been directed for over 35 years solely by the House of Adams.
In that period the late John Q. Adams made many friends locally and abroad, and became nationally known among colored editors as a staunch and fearless fighter for the rights of colored Americans. THE APPEAL and its printing plant became, under him, machinery to do service for his race.
It is the purpose of the new company to continue that service, to enlarge it, improve it, and to make it of lasting benefit to readers and friends.
John. Q. Adams, Jr. and the new members of the firm, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wilkins want to renew old acquaintances and make new ones. Come in and see us, or write a line and tell us how you think the new Appeal Publishing Company can best serve you and the race.
ANOTHER JUMP AHEAD
Mayor "Live Wire" Nelson is again two jumps ahead of the rest of us in his plans for a bigger and better St. Paul. Last week the mayor accepted the music for a city march, "Forward St. Paul," written by Oscar F. Baum and submitted the matter to the council for approval. But the council is not as spry as the mayor. It has hardly recovered from the Nelson-conceived birthday party, and is not quite ready for another hot civic improvement idea. So the march hangs awhile.
To say that there has been "something doing" in the mayor's office since Arthur E. Nelson was elected is merely repeating what everybody knows is true. Mayor Nelson is an executive not of whom the "city may expect great things," but to whom the city is already greatly in debt for the things he has done.
GETTING LABOR TOGETHER
A stir has been created in local railway labor circles by an attempt on the part of some of the sleeping and dining car employees of one of the roads to quit the Sleeping and Dining Car Employees union and form a separate union to deal with their own individual road.
Such a separate union, if formed, will mark down another dismal failure of the black man to appreciate the value of solidarity.
The proposed union is what is known as a "company union" pure and simple. It is one of the many devices used by corporations to get entire control of their labor. There was a time when employers resorted to blacklists, lockouts, and other hard and obvious methods of combating labor. Methods have changed somewhat. Now it is the smoother principle of the "company union" with a limited bargaining power and a pat on the back or a promotion for energetic labor leaders.
The seceding railroad employees would do well to look before they leap. In unions there is sometimes disaster, but more often there is strength and independence.
LIGHTED STREETS
Commisioner McDonald has again demonstrated that he is making every effort to serve all sections of the city with his department. Colored residents are especially appreciative of the new are lights in front of Union Hall, Kent and Aurora streets, and in front of the Maxfield school, corner St. Albans and St. Anthony avenues. This action is timely in that it will no doubt have the effect of checking the petty crime that has been rampant in the neighborhood.
A RAGE CONFERENCE
On March 24, in a preliminary meeting in New York, the first steps toward an all-race conference were taken by six interested bodies. This meeting, with its routine work of electing officers, going into permanent organization, deciding on the fields to be represented and outlining roughly the issues to be discussed was tremendously important, but by far the most significant definite accomplishment of the gathering was the signing of a concordat, calling for "the closet co-operation and the most harmonious relationship" among organizations, which no matter "what
differences, either of opinion or methods," are nevertheless "all striving for one great common goal." There will be clashes perhaps between the left wing group, the Messenger and the Crusader, and the left center, the N. A. A. C. P. and Dean Miller. Other bodies may differ with both of these. But the public now has the assurance that whatever surface differences there may appear all groups are striving for the ultimate good of the race. This is the promise; the proof will come in the proposed conference.

PYORRHEA ALVEQLARIS
Bv E. S. WEBER, D. D. S.
By E. L. WEBER, D. D. S.
Pyrorhea is one of the most vital subjects in Dentistry. It is a disease that has done a great deal of harm to mankind through all the ages. Until recent years little was known of this disease, its causes, its symptoms, or its dangerous tendencies. Today there are many methods of treatment and good results are being obtained, but none of them bring about an absolute cure, because there is no absolute cure for pyrorhea in its advance stages. It can be checked, however, by treating the disease when the early stages are apparent, but if neglected after treatment the condition will return and perhaps in a more violent form.
Pyrorhea is such an enormous subject that it would be impossible for me to relate to you all the facts concerning it. So I am going to tell you a little about its symptoms, its causes, its affects, and what it is.
Pyrorhea is a disease of the gums and peridental membrane. It begins by swelling of the gums, followed by ulceration of the epithelial surface (the outside tissue of the gums) a gradual invasion of the peridental membrane (a thin tissue which attaches the root of the tooth to the bone socket; it also acts as a cushion and protects the tooth from chck), the distraction of the peridental membrane by a suppurative process, death to the cementum and resorption of the alveolar process. Two agents are responsible for this disease namely, bacteria and predisposing causes (local and constitutional).
The local causes are as follows : Trauma (injury) to the gums, injury to the epithelium, accumulation of dental tartar and calculus around the teeth. Dental tartar always contains the bacteria called Leptothrix Buccalis. Malfitting crowns and fillings; fillings projecting beyond cavity margin; edges of poorly fitted crown bands and the putrefaction of food, etc., collection in the places from which cement has washed out; gum overlying cavity margins; bruising of the gum margin by food crowded between teeth and removed by tooth-picks; the fermentation of such food; the mechanical action of tooth-picks or floss silk improperly crowded upon the gum margin; projecting edges of artificial crowns or bits of cement used in their cementation; toobrush bristles, rings of rubber or of torn rubber dam or ligatures left in position; rubber or tape wedges forced into the gums; the crowding back of the gum by ligation which produces ischemia for hours; improper contact of the edges of plates or orthodontic appliances about the necks of the teeth; injury inflicted by rubber dam clamps, wedges, and the like.
The constitution predisposing cause or are as follows:
Diabetus, Nephritis, Scurvey, Pallagra, and Sprue, are accompanied by pyrrohea or inflammation of the gums, and also Pernicious Enemia.
In addition to these diseases we have poisons such as Mercury given at intervals will bring about suppuration, and loss of the teeth. Lead and Phosphorus to poisoning of the gums. Excessive smoking and the use of alcoholic liquors produce irritative effects, resulting in catarrhal stomatitis and gingivitis. I might say that all forms of marginal gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) are to be considered as incipient inflammations which, let alone, may lead to deep seated inflammation and tissue distructions collectively called pyrorhea alveolaris.
Pyrorhea can be a source of many systeatic ailments such as stomach disorders, rheumatism, general arm down condition (no pep). It can cause infections in the mouth in the form of abscesses, infection of the nasal or lymphatics, foul breath, resorption of teeth, resorption ofcess, membranes, resulting in loosening of the teeth and the loss of them entirely.
Pyrrorea is commonly called the "CONSUMPTION OF THE MOUTH." It acts just the same as does the germ that produces tuberculosis. When it gets a firm footing it is a hopeless task to throw it off from the system. So it is very urgent that people should be ever cautious and watch their mouths just the same as you do your body.

Washington—"The 'Ararat' of a strictly American 'Noah,' real communist inhabitants, a huge lava flow, and salt and sand sufficient to cure most of the world's fish and to keep all its builders and glass factories busy"—these, says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society, are some of the by-products, valuable and otherwise, that the United States would acquire if it successfully acted on a recently reported resolution of the Arizona house of representatives. The resolution seeks to add to the state a small triangle of northern Mexico.
"It is for quite a different reason, however," continues the bulletin, "that Arizona destires what might be called this 'second Gadsen Purchase' of one of the most desolate and least-known regions of North America. The map shows that while the southern boundary of the state extends due west for a space from the southwestern corner of New Mexico, it then strikes northwestward at a very slight angle. The resolution seeks an arrangement with Mexico by which this bend in the southern boundary of the state would be eliminated so that the line would continue as it started, in a due east and west direction. The triangular area that would be added to the state would be about 240 miles long by about 50 miles wide at the point of greatest breadth.
Bottled Up by Narrow Strip.
"The important consideration is that this long narrow triangle is all that separates Arizona from the sea—the Gulf of California, huge arm of the Pacific. Add it to Arizona, and overnight the state would desert the 27 inland commonwealths and join the 21 that border on salt water. With its hundreds of thousands of tons of minerals to ship, the state is now bottled up by a narrow region undeveloped and little likely to be developed by its present owner. It is felt that even the desolate, practically trailless desert, and the lack of natural harbors on the gulf would not deter Yankee enterprise and Yankee engineering ability from laying down a trail of steel and constructing quays or pliers at which ocean steamers would soon be loading, furnishing the cheap transportation that bulky products demand.
"The areas of most states are well known, even the parts sparsely populated. It is hard for dwellers in many other portions of the United States to realise, therefore, that not only is this triangle of Mexico a terra incognita, but that the portion of Arizona which adjoins it is almost equally so. Most of the region south of the Southern Pacific railroad may be thought of as a desert on which small broken rocky ranges of mountains have been superimposed. "Both north and south of the border, this region is given over almost wholly to a handful of Papago Indians with communistic customs who range as freely as did their remote ancestors, needing to give in their desolate homeland little or no thought to border-lines or to the governmental machinery of states and nations. The region—both American and Mexican—is known roughly as 'Papagueria,' and is seldom traversed by white men.
"Through it it the international boundary extends, the ultimate in arbitrary lines. Swerving neither to the right nor to the left it extends, a straight, geometrical line, running up sheer cliffs and over craggy peaks, hurdling great valleys and tiny arrows, crossing deserts, lava flows, and sand dunes, until it strikes the Colorado river some fifteen miles below Yuma. Indian "Noah" Saved Wolf and Beetle.
"The Mexican triangle of Papagueria, which it is proposed to add to Arizona, is even a more inhospitable country than the border region. In addition to the features of the latter, it embraces a district 30 by 40 miles covered by extinct volcanic craters and an ancient lava flow, and hundreds of square miles of great towering sand dunes that create a landscape like that of parts of the Sahara. On the highest lava peaks of Pinacate, say the old Papagou'legs, their 'Elder Brother' landed from his cask after the deluge and after floating around the world four times. While his solicitude for animals was not as extensive as that of the Hebraic Noah, he at least managed to save a coyote and a beetle. The Papagos formerly were 'sand people' living in the sand-dune region near the lava fields, with headquarters at the few small waterholes. This region is now practically deserted, the Papagos living by dry-farming and stock-raising farther east and north.
"There is no general knowledge of good natural harbors along the portion of the Gulf of California that would be included in the proposed triangular addition to Arizona, but probably there would be little difficulty in constructing harbor facilities either along Bahia Arair, which would mark the southern boundary of the addition, or northward toward the head of the gulf. The larger sand dunes are 20 miles from the shore near the gulf head and an equal distance from the Colorado river. The most feasible roadline route probably would be from the neighborhood of Yuma, extending roughly parallel to the river."
Promotes Racial Understanding.
The Church Federation of Indianapolis has apointed an interracial committee of leading white and colored citizens, who meet at intervals, confer frankly and plan for the promotion of harmonious race relations.
The Federation has been earnestly studying these questions, and in the interest of better understanding has invited a number of colored leaders to present the colored man's viewpoint before it.

Unlike many leading ladies of the screen, charming Colleen Moore, the "movie" star, has never been on the speaking stage. She was born in Port Huron, Mich., and was educated in the Convent of the Holy Name in Tampa, Fla. Miss Moore at various times has lived in a number of other cities. In private life, she admits being a plain person, with no hobbies, but a tremendous ambition to make good. Many of her admirers agree with one accord that her ambition has been realized. This is one of her latest pictures.
BAD BREEDING
Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue, too, passes current all the world over.—Euripides.
IT IS always a temptation for those who discuss matters of politeness and etiquette to become arbitrary and to say that those who do thus-and-thus are flied bred, and that those who do so-and-so are well bred. Such a list would be bound to be unfair and could be interesting largely in giving the point of view of the one who wrote it. In matters of superficial etiquette we should not sit in judgment on others, especially in a land like ours where family and racial traditions vary so extensively. But there are some things that remain the same the world over—little acts that might be regarded as earmarks of bad breeding that were just as repreensible a thousand years ago as they are today. Among them are these things:
To permit oneself openly to "cut" a one-time acquaintance save for the most grievous offense. You would be justified in cutting the man who has robbed your safe or attempted your life or kidnapped your child or eloped with your wife, but just because Mr. A. has blackballed you in the club to which you hoped to belong, or because Mrs. B. has complained to the dogcatcher that your pet is going around unmuzzled, or because those C children throw putty balls at your front windows, is no reason why you should cut any of the A's, B's or Ca.
To reveal any information of a confidential nature that has been revealed to you by anyone while a guest in your house. There is a law of hospitality that would prevent you from doing that whether you lived on this side of the world or the other; whether you lived a thousand years ago or a thousand years hence.
To reveal any derogatory information concerning any one that you have acquired through a purely professional relationship. The priest regards it as his religious duty to keep secrets that he hears in the confessional, no less does the doctor keep a sealed mouth concerning his patients. It seems almost as much a matter of principle for the trained nurse or the seamstress who by chance learns something of a confidential nature concerning those who employ her to refrain from spreading the information broadcast.

WOMAN CATCHES PARIS RAFFLES
Fashionably Dressed Thief Looted Many Houses Before He Was Finally Trapped.
Paris—Paris boasts of a "gentleman burglar" in the person of one Serge Henri Louis de Leuz, a young man of good family, fashionable appearance and extravagant tastes, but with degenerate tendencies and a long criminal record. His trial, however, rubbed off most of the glamour of his career as a gentleman, if not as a master of his profession. Leuz is thirty years old and is the son of a former director of the Franco-Russian bank. He lived a good deal of the time with his parents in the suburb of Neully while pursuing without their knowledge his double existence in Paris as a man of the world and a house-breaker.
He was educated at the Carnot Lyeum and the Paris School of Electricity. Before the war he served in the cavalry, but was discharged as unit because of frequent attacks of hysteria. In 1914 he enlisted in the miliary supply train as a camion driver. He soon deserted, however, and, having also been accused of theft, was transferred after arrest to an African battalion. He asked to be sent to the front and behaved creditably there for a while, obtaining two citations for bravery. But once more he deserted. He was again arrested and was put into the non-combatant forces.
Three Times a Deserter.
He deserted a third time and was thrown out of the army. In November, 1820, he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for burglary, but was soon released under the general amnesty. Since then it is estimated that he has committed 85 robberies, 23 of them involving house-breaking. He operated almost exclusively between noon and 1 p. m., when most of the apartment house concercles are at meals. He was always stylishly dressed and carried his tools in a small bag something like a brief case. He stole only articles of little weight and high value. Leuz was caught a few weeks ago through the vigilance of a concercle. She saw a young man with a limp enter the house, but asked no questions, mistaking him for the son of the owner. Presently he came out again, bag in hand. She halted him. "You don't know whom you are talking to," he said contemptuously. But she insisted on an explanation.
"I am a wounded soldier," he went on, more ingratiatingly. "I just stepped in here to rearrange my brace. I didn't think it was necessary to ring at your office."
Trapped by Janitress
He then limped away and entered a neighboring house. The janitress became suspicious and followed him. She told the other concerge to go for a policeman while she detained the stranger.
"Here is a thousand franc note for you," the latter said, becoming alarmed.
The concerge refused it.
"Have pity on me," he pleaded, "I have a sick mother."
The second concierge appeared with the officer, who arrested Serge. At the police station they found that he carried a complete burglar's kit. He confessed and even furnished the police with a full list of his robberies.
He valued the articles which he had stolen at 2,000,000 francs, but said that he had realized very little on those he sold through stolen goods recalcvers.
At his trial it was brought out that he had had a passion for stealing since early youth. He had robbed his school-mates. He had been arrested four times before the war for theft, and seven times in all before the two conclerges trapped him.
Leuz made the claim that he committed his crimes while under the influence of drugs. But the physicians who examined him declared him to be completely responsible.

OUT under the wonderful western stars, near the turbulent Mexican border of the present day, most of the action in this thrilling story takes place. While replete with the atmosphere, romance, exciting events and human elements so characteristic of its author's work, it strikes a note that is different from the average of western fiction; indeed, it is quite different from any of Zane Grey's other stories and has been acclaimed in various quarters as the best he has yet written.

Ladies Minstrel Show Pleases Packed House
Ladies Minstrel Show Pleases Packed House
Original jokes, catchy music, colorful costumes and bewitching dancing marked the Minstrel show given at Union Hall last Tuesday night by the city federation of women's clubs for the benefit of Crispus Attucks home.
Mrs. Cora Grissom, president of the city federation, had charge of the event, which was under the immediate direction of Charles H. Miller.
The show was a success from an artistic as well as financial viewpoint. Unquestionably it was the best all-around entertainment given by local talent in many years. Among the many numbers on the generally excellent program the drew annual applause was the dancing of Ruth Murray, Betty Yale and little Cleo Hunt. Chorus numbers were well rendered. The S. R. O. sign was out at 8 P. M. and twenty minutes later hundreds were being turned away.
Mr. Grissom announced that the proceeds would go far toward paying off the mortgage.

WISE MEN OFTEN FOOLED BY GIRLS
WISE MEN OFTEN FOOLED BY GIRLS
Recent Escanaba Fever Hoax Recalls Fasting Young Women Who Astonished Sages.
What, do you think, was the object of these girls in pulling the stunts they did?
New York.—Temperatures as high as 114 degrees Fahrenheit, registered with the aid of a hot-water bottle by Miss Evelyn Lyons, who fooled the doctors of her home town, Escanaba, Mich., for more than two weeks, are actually recorded sometimes in cases of sunstroke, according to local medical authorities, who explain that the patient always dies within four or five hours unless the temperature is reduced. Hysterical temperature or thermal ataxia, occasionally will run as high as 108 or 110 degrees without giving permanent injury, according to some medical textbooks.
The young woman of Escanaba was described as a "hysterical malingerer" by Dr. Morris Fishein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, who investigated her strange case and exposed her deception. It was found that Miss Lyons was running a slight temperature, due probably to injuries she is said to have received in an automobile accident. Miss Lyons' case suggests the cases of the "fasting girls"—found as far back as the Middle Ages—whose deceptions, usually the result of hysteria, convinced many learned men of their time that they were able, with the aid of some mysterious power, to live for long periods without eating.
Hysteria, in the opinion of many medical authorities, is certain to be accompanied by mental changes, in some cases disclosing only a lack of balance and will power, the partial loss of memory, or in other cases recurring melancholy, sudden emotional outbursts, loss of judgment and disgard of truth. One of the marked symptoms of the affliction is a craving for sympathy.
The last two symptoms were the basis for the strange actions of the "fasting girls" and self-mutilating martyrs, as well as of persons who sometimes pretended they were suffering from paralysis, tumor, stone in the bladder, and who often were eager to submit to surgical operations.
The story of a nun at Leicester who was said to have taken no nourishment for seven years, yet preserved her strength and health, attracted the attention of Hugh, bishop of Lincoln in 1225. He assigned 15 clerks to observe the subject without relaxing their vigil. When the clerks reported to the bishop that they had followed his instructions and had found that the nun took no food, the bishop said he was convinced of the genuineness of the nun's claims.
Grow Without Eating.
One of the most striking cases in the early part of the modern era was that of Margaret Weiss, a girl of ten years who lived at Rode, a small town near Spires. A history of the case of the little girl was left by Geraldus Bucolianus, whose patient she was. The girl was said to have taken no food or drink for three years, during which time she continued to grow, to walk about, laugh and enjoy herself like other normal children of her own age. She was said to have suffered greatly from hysteria during the first year.
The child played her part so well that she was sent home to her friends by order of the king after she had been watched persistently and declared to be no dissimulator by Doctor Bucolianus and the parish priest.
"Doctor Buccolianus appears to have been somewhat staggered," says Dr. William A. Hammond in his book on "Fasting Girls," for he asks very pertinently: "Whence comes the animal heat, since she neither eats nor drinks, and why does the body grow when nothing goes into it?" Symptoms of the "fasting girls" varied, and there were some who were reported to have been marked in a miscellaneous manner with the wounds received by Christ at Crucifixion. One of the most recent cases of abstinence from food with stigmatisation was reported widely about six months ago in some of the newspapers of New York city.
While temperatures fluctuate widely in the case of women who are afflicted with hysteria, the highest temperatures usually found are accompaniments of inflammatory rheumatism and malarial fever, in addition to sunstroke. The limit of human endurance is usually reached when the temperature reaches 106 or 107 degrees and stays there for any length of time, according to Dr. Samuel W. Lambert, who has served as attending physician at some of the leading hospitals of New York, and as professor of therapeutics and dean of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia university.
Doctor Lambert believed the case of the Escanaba girl fraudulent when it was brought to his attention three days before Miss Lyons was exposed.
"A hot-water bag in the bed will often send the thermometer up," was the first observation on her case made by Doctor Lambert, who added: "The temperature will go to 114 degrees in cases of sunstroke, but the patient
will die within a few hours unless the temperature is reduced.
"I have seen temperatures rise to 110 degrees in cases of inflammatory rheumatism, but the patient always died. In cases of that kind the temperature rises very suddenly and death quickly follows. Temperatures will run as high as 107 degrees in cases of malarial fever, but they come right down again. Otherwise the issue is fatal."
The mean average temperature of man is 98.4 degrees by mouth. His temperature is marked by daily variations, the lowest point usually being reached from two to four o'clock in the morning and the highest after eating. The normal range is less than 2 degrees. Death usually follows temperatures below 80 degrees and above 106, but variations from 75 degrees to 112 have been recorded where the patients survived.
Compared with the mean average temperature of 98.4 degrees in man some of the lower animals show markedly higher temperatures. The sparrow, for instance, has a temperature of 110. The temperature of the horse varies from 99 to 100 degrees, the ox 100 to 101, the cow 101 to 102, sheep 104 to 105, the dog 100 to 101, the cat 100, the pig 101 to 106, the rabbit 101 to 107, and the duck-bill platypus 76 degrees. The hen has a temperature of 106 to 109 and the duck 107 to 110.
Of diseases in general fever is one of the most common accompaniments. Temperatures in excess of normal are largely caused by toxic poisoning, although in some cases fever is caused by nervous shock. In children's diseases high temperatures may develop suddenly and subside rapidly. In typhoid fever, for many years one of the most dreaded diseases, the temperature at first registers from 104 to 105 in the evening and 103 to 104 in the morning. In the second and third weeks the daily range is comparatively small.
Moscow Shows Bogus Prosperity to Aliens
Moscow. — Surface comfort which Moscow now shows to foreign visitors and the prosperity which her native profiteers enjoy are not reflected in the lives of workingmen and the other native residents who make up the bulk of her population.
All are living better than last year, but recent statistics of workmen's districts show deplorable conditions. Instead of the approximately 15 square yards of living space which is the legal allotment for each person, many workingmen's families average only one and a half square yards of living space for each person. Many have to sleep in relays on the basis of one bed for four persons.
In one children's home 80 per cent of the inmates have lived so long on a scanty diet that they have utterly forgotten even the taste of milk, meat and fats. In one district a survey of these homes showed 85 per cent of the children suffering from tuberculosis, or predisposed to that malady, because of undernourishment and overcrowding.
Woman at Age of 80 Has Jet Black Hair
Philadelphia. — Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren — 171 persons in all—were gathered about Mrs. Mary A. Santmyers of 1806 West Columbus avenue, when she observed her eightth birthday. Mrs. Santmyers was born in Frederick, Md., on December 9, 1842, was married at the age of sixteen and came to this city two years ago. She had 14 children, all living. Mrs. Santmyers, who appears to be much younger than eighty, still has jet black hair.
Half Soles Cost 10,000 Marks in Germany
Berlin—It costs 10,000 marks to many now because of the extremely have soles nailed on shoes in Gerhigh price of leather. This is about half the monthly salary of the average domestic servant. Consequently it is frequently part of the agreement with servants that shoe soles are to be supplied by their employers.
Horse Kleeser Fined.
New York.-Accused of kissing a horse which he had led up on the sidewalk in front of 121 Bowery, James Ryan, thirty-five years old, of 185 East Sixteenth street, was arraigned in night court here, charged with disorderly conduct and was fined $5 by Magistrate Emilparin.
"Did the horse like the embrace?" asked the magistrate.
"Well, your honor," said Patrolman Wandling, "the horse said 'neigh, neigh,' and I arrested Ryan." The prisoner described himself as "a great lover of horses."
Kansas First Woman Jury Frees Prisoner
The first all-woman jury in Kansas acquitted James Cecil, of Cimarron, charged with having intoxicating liquor in his possession. The jury was out seven hours, and 12 Cimarron men had to get their own suppers while their wives debated whether Cecil's car contained a jug of rum or vinegar. They finally decided that it held vinegar.

"What's in a Name?"
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; its history;
meaning; where it once dwells;
significance; your lucky day
and lucky jewel
MADELINE
BIBLE history is responsible for origin of Madeline. The only possible source of the name is the New Testament story of the tragic figure, Mary Magdalen. Magdalen, it seems, is not a surname, but merely translates into "of Magdala," the village of the scarlet woman's birth, and is regarded as an adjective of place.
So the soft harmony of "Magdalen" was not employed as a proper name at that time, but history records that various institutions, or rescue homes for unfortunate girls, sprang up under the name, until it began to be used as synonymous for fallen women. Writers, artists, and poets, who find fascination in portraying the type of Mary Magdalen, with her luxury, her embroidered robes and flowing hair, and her inevitable tears as a repentant sinner, kept the two names in vogue. But finally the "Mary" was dropped completely and only Magdalen persisted and waxed popular.
Each nation has taken the name Madeline and placed upon it the stamp of individual spelling. England calls her Madeline, eliminating the "g" for the soft sound; Madeline, Maudlene, and Maun are other English derivations. France prefers Madeline; Spain and Russia, Madeline. The French also claim the derivations Madeline, Madlen, Lene, and Lenchen. Madalena is the Italian version and Leil is Swiss.
Despite the story of Madeline's origin, the poets have chosen her name rather to portray the shyest and most virtuous of maidens, the typical sweet-heart to whom young lovers write odes. The best known poem to "Ever Varying Madeline" runs:
Smiling, frowning, evermore.
Thou art perfect in love-lore.
Revealings deep and clear are thine.
Of wealth smiles, but who may know.
Whether the knight be sweeter,
Who may know?
Madeline's jewel is the moonstone,
that gem so potent for lovers who may
read their future in its opalescent
depths. If she shears her talismanic
stone, Madeline may have her heart's
promises. The poppy is her flower, 3
is her mystic number and Saturday
her lucky day.

Two-Foot Snake Is Found in Calf's Body
A year-old calf owned by Henry L. Clarke, of Eavart, Mich., died under mysterious circumstances. Unusual symptoms baffled veterinarians, so an autopsy was held. A two-foot water snake was found twined around the lungs and heart of the animal. Death came when the snake began eating its way through the walls of the stomach.
Went West to Seek His Fortune and Found It
LONDON PRESS
In 1916, Edwin, Callahan graduated from the University of Chicago and, with an engineer's diploma and a lot of nerve, headed for the West to seek his fortune. Finding things kind of tame in California, he drifted into Mexico and became interested in the guerrilla warfare, fighting on both sides, and when the natives got through fighting, he began to mingle with the Indians, where he soon established a reputation as a "Smart Man." Through his technical training and tips given him by the Indians, he has managed to secure 160,000 acres of rich Mexican land and also holds valuable gold placer interests. Callahan is twenty-eight years old and says that Mexico has won him for life.
Skeleton Shows Cliff
Dwellers Were Dwarfs
Prescott, Ariz.—Scientists who will visit Prescott next summer to attempt to clear the mystery of the ancient cliff dwellings on the Verde river will be asked to give their attention to a skeleton found recently by Morris and Howell Payne, ranchers, living a few miles north of this city.
Although the skeleton is apparently no larger than that of a child of four or five years, the skull contains a fully developed set of mature teeth. The Payne brothers unearthed the skeleton while excavating for a road in Granite Dells, a vast granite formation near Prescott.
The skeleton has excited lively interest on account of the size and the maturity of the teeth and skull bones, which, one physician said, showed none of the evidences of immaturity such as would appear on an infant's cranium.
Prints of the hands of the builders of the well-preserved prehistoric dwelling known as Montezuma's castle are still seen in the mudlike mortar holding the stones together, and these prints indicate that the dwellers were persons with very small hands.
The tiny doorways and low cellings seem to bear out the theory that the people living there were of small stature.
Tucson, Ariz.-Henry Bode, a mining engineer, and his wife, are in Tucson after a successful fight against the desert region that lies along the eastern shores of the Gulf of California. Their supply of water gave out in the hills, where no springs could be found, while the nearest settlement was several days travel away. So, seeking the shore of the gulf, they improvised a crude distilling apparatus, mainly from a five-gallon oil can and several tomato cans. Thus they obtained enough water for themselves and four burros for ten days. Then the party sighted a small Mexican coastwise trading steamer, which was signaled by the burning of palm fronds and which sent a boat to the beach. Return to the United States was by way of the Port of Guaymas.
Hermit's Hoard 1e $27,000,
Emporia, Va.-Herman Seely, an aged hermit, and for months a public charge, died here recently. Preparations were made to bury him in the potter's field and his body was encased in a rude pine box. When authorities visited the shack where the hermit formerly lived and moved his scanty furniture, a box containing over $27,000 in gold and currency was found.
The State of Minnesota to All Whom It May Concern: The petition of Ran Lewis, having spent the E. Lewis, then resident of the City of Winnipeg, Manitoba, died intestate on the 6th day of March, 1923, and praying that his estate of said estate be granted to W. T. Francis.
