Sheriff Bowman la cooperating In the drive against speeders and traffic violators. Several arrests have been made by the sheriff and hie deputy and more will follow. if th« law Is violated After all. what's the u e of speeding and breaking the law? It's difficult to fathom why boys should go berserk to the point of attacking women with pop bottles and inflicting bodily harm on them. They might think it’s prankish, but we don't see that it Is an adventure necessary to their development. Our streets must be safe for pedestrians. Children, girls and women must not be molested. This civic principle must be upheld, regardless ot who finds himself at variance with it. Unless a lot of drummlng-up is done, we doubt If Henry Wallace speaks to large crowds on his proposed tour through the country. In through this part of the middlewest. the former vice-presi-dent apparently has only a small following, for few can agree with his idea of giving Russia fifteen 1 billion dollars in order to keep the! Soviets In good humor. 0 0 The five state house employes who "resigned" from their higher paying jobs to serve in the legislature are having difficulty in getting their pay checks. The state auditor will not pay them until a legal ruling has been made. The men should resign either from the legislature or their office Jobs. for under the state constitution they cannot draw pay from both divisions of government. o o Great wealth, including ownership of the fabulous Hope dia mond. apparently brought little happiness to Mrs Evalyn Walsh McLean, Washington socialite and dowager of the country-club set. whose mansion, "Friendship" was the scene of the most elaborate parties in the national capital.

Causes of Tooth Disorders

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. O. UNFORTUNATELY, the work people do sometimes has a bad effect on their health. But in the light of present medical knowledge more of these hazards can be avoided if only they are recognized and proper preventive measures taken. Dr. Lyman D. Heacock of the National Institute of Health Washington. D. C., discusses some of these In the International Medical Digest. He points out that a number of conditions affecting the teeth and mouth may develop in certain industries. Ousts are Produced For example, in certain types of work, diets are produced which have an abrasive or wearing qual ity. These dust* over a long period of time may have an ill effect on the tooth enamel. These Include such materials as sand, aluminum hydroxide and a red substance known as hematite. Then, too, softening of the tooth structure may be due to the action of certain acids. Sulfuric acid, uitric. phosphoric and hydrofluoric acids have a direct action not only on the enamtel of the teeth but upon the dentin within the teeth. Exposure of the teeth directly or indirectly to these substances may result in tooth damage. An acid dust may oocur In the atmosphere in some industrial plants which sooner or later has a dissolving effect on the tooth enamel.

for her might have been glamorous at times, but it was beset with tragedies and much unhappiness Iler youngest son was run down ’ and killed by an automobile, her only daughter died from an overdose of sleeping powder, her once wealthy husband died "broke" in an asylum and she lived to be only sixty. The diamond may not have hexed the family, but on the surface it didn't bring them much happiness. - fr— o By Proclamation. Govern o r Gates has proclaimed this Boys and Girls Week "The objects of the week,” declared the Governor, “arc to call the attention of the public to the potentialities and problems of youth so thst more | adults may become Interested In youth-serving organizations; to give impetus to year-round programs of character building activities for the general welfare of hoys and girls; and to emphasize the importance of physical, mental and spiritual development of youth." Our Decatur program is built along these lines and the more we help those in direct charge of youth activities, greater will he the results In building healthful, zestful and morally straight youth. i o~* - oIndiana Beauty: The Indianapolis Star has pen- ' nod a word picture of today's country side, which is enjoyable to ' read: 1 Across the hills the pasture land , is green the new fresh green of i April, the fallow fields are ready for this season's plantings and the plow has turned under the stubble of last year's grain. Now the first ephemeral color of the redbud and dogwood is like j a smoky haze in the dark patches lof woodland and fence rows of the country, while in the city they ' are a splash of bright against the 1 pattern of dose buildings. Soon the white to pinkish flowers of the dogwood will be full i blown and with them the brilli- ' t ance of the redbud will fill the land with color. And the people will feel that color and the pro I mise of things to follow. They will drive along the roads and breathe the damp air of the spring rains. They will look at the ground and watch eagerly for th<first buds and shoots. For the first touches of color in the redbud and dogwood trees mean more than the call to pilgrimage in the country. They are the fulfillment of a promise that beauty strikes a chord in the hearts of almost every individual, and as long as that chord is there, waiting to be struck, there is hope in thia world.

There are certain chemicals i which may discolor the troth such I as clirom, which stains them ■ yellow, and copper with causes i a green color. The gums may bes come dißcolon-d as a result of i certain minerals getting into the i body such as mercury, bismuth, lead and nickel. Inflammation of Mouth Then. too. Inflammation of the ’ mouth tissues may result from the action of many substances. For example, mercury may cause sore > gums and inflammation of the Bni ing membrane of the mouth. There may be ulcers or sores on the lips, and on the floor of the mouth pro- ’ duced by the action of chromate i fumes. Exposure to benzzene may produce bleeding ot the gums, nli errs of the lining membrane of the mouth and. even, destruction of t bone tissue. The effects of radium , iMtisonlng are well known to I many people. These include destruction of the hard and soft i tissues of the tnoulb. i In preventing these mouth dis- . orders, an effort should h« made - to remove the cause and. of course, good hygiene of the mouth Is important. This means keep- . ing the teeth clean and well cared • for. Any infection* in the teeth or gums should be cleared up. The i teeth and mouth should lie regularI |y examined and any abuonna! > conditions found, corrected at i once. This, of course, means regular visits to the dentist
