The remarkable development of Japan after her ports were opeend to trade with the rest of the world is a matter Os history.

Taft s name will remain on the New Jersey primary ballots for the April 15 flection, although previously the Ohio presidential candidate requested Withdrawal of his name. In many counties the bajlots and election forms have already been printed with Taft’s name abd state authorities say it would be too expensive th reprint them. Mr. Taft charged breach of faith with New Jersey Governor Driscoll, when the latter openly, announced for Gen. Eisenhower. Mr. Taft is having more trouble with the Easternlwing of the Republican party than a tricky boy does at a girl’s ice cream party. He doesn’t seem to be wanted, although a few months ago the GOP leaders recognized him as Mr. Republican. However, one of his organizations in is Indiana, especially in the fourth district where an effective Taft-inrpreSident-club has been organized! ’ L

The Care of Children's Teeth Should Start At An Early Age

By HERMAN N. BWOISEN, OLD. DECAYED teeth are high on the list of our most widespread li and difficult health problems. ‘ Decay also strikes in early youth, and thus lays a heavy responsibility upon parents. i Who would guess, if asked, that no less than 98 per cent of this country’s boys and girls have decayed teeth! Even among our two-year-olds, over 50 per cent already have one or mor&decayed teeth. The average five-year-old has at least six teeth in some stage of decay. By the time a child is 16 years old, he has at least seven decayed, filled, or missing teeth. Ideas Changing What can we do to keep our children from having cavities? Ideas on’dental health are chang- ** ing even now, and methods must sometimes be adapted to Individ- ' A ual cases. But, in general, here are the rules to follow; " The teeth should be brushed within ten minutes after each meal, for at least three minutes at a time. The right way to brush is away from the gum. Brush the chewing surfaces first. Then brush the lower teeth up from the gum, and the upper teeth down from the jdam, both on the Inside and outside surfaces. It is especially important to get the bristles in between the teeth. Right Diet Vital To eut down the number of cavities, the right diet is vital. Chil-

Wi// Rogers Story:— Fans of the late Will Rogers, actor and humorist, will be looking forward to the release of a picture based on his life. Rogers Will be played by his son Will Rogers Jr., an ex-congressman. Those who remember the lank figure of the father on stage with a patter of home-spun humor and an assortment of tricks with a lasso, may wotider whether the son’s Resemblance is more! than physical. > . \ Will Rogers for some time wrote a syndicated newspaper column which attracted wide < readership. His wit was always gentle although he bad away of ? shattering the pretentious and. deflating the pompons. When he was killed in an airplane crash in 1935 while flying with Wiley Post in Alaska he was mourned by millions who felt! they knew him tiom his column, as well as from his stage and movie appearances. His name may yet produce a» measure of box office ihaglc when His life story is released with hjs son in the starring tjble. f \ 1—— o- -o— ’ IForeign Investment:— Eric Johnston, foreign ajid adviser to the government, believes that one way the amount of foreign spending can be reduced is for private capital in America to make further investments abroad. He has\ proposed a partnership investment. plan under which American <pd foreign businessmen will jointly finance overseas ; enterprise It will not be an easy ma:ter to convince Americans Io invent capi- : . ■ J — I I tai abroad .today.

dren in general eat too many sweets—in fact, we all do. The sugar consumption of this country has risen from ten pounds per person a year in the early 1800’s to 125 pounds at present. The diet should be rich in milk, and fortified with meat, eggs, butter, cheese, fresh fruit, green and yellow! vegetables and wholewheat bread. To prevent future trouble, children should be taken to the dentist regularly. ! Fluoride in Water Certain communities have cut down the number of children’s cavities by adding a small amount of fluoride to the public water system. | If your community does not have this type of drinking water, the dentist may want to apply the fluoride to your child’s teeth. This treatment seems to work only with children up to about 15 years of age. The fluoride is usually applied at the ages of three, seven, ten and 13, and it has been found that this helps reduce tooth decay as much as 40 per cent. i Good teeth are necessary for good health, So take your children / to the dentist early and regularly.

SYNOPSIS It is the year 1914 and we find Henry Lemay and Eloise, tits sister, living is the somnulant city of Charleston. S C.. living m anticipation of a more abundant life News has reached them that the Lemay family ’fortune’ long impounded tn France, may be released to .them. ’Oh. blessed escape from the genteel poverty that. has too long enfulted them ' Henry exalts. What wonertuli tidings for Leonie. their niece, on her return to them from college, any day now. But. will she take up with that Calvert boy, again? Heaven forbid, Henri prays. . CHAPTER THREE MISS JULIE did not perhaps care about the money involved, but she was a recognized authority on the history of her own and other families and loved to dispense her knowledge. Theophile Lemay,” she said to Henri, “was your grandfather’s third cousin once removed. He married into a family named Perrier. They owned a lot of vineyards and I believe it was said that they watered the wine they sold, r I I expect Theophile may have come into the property in some way or \ other. How much money it was is another question. It would have to be considerable if it’s to go around the Lemay family. They were like rabbits, all of them.” : “I don’t know the hows and; whyß of the money being tied up so’lqftg,” Henri said, determinedly ignoring this coarseness, “but I judge there's some legal technicality involved.” "If that’s the case,” said Miss Julie, “you’d best not put too much stock in it. The lawyers will get whatever there is. He that expecteth little will not be disappointed. \ A bird in the hand is worth t4?o in tpe bush.” She broke off her! imitatipn of Bartlett’s Quotations. “Well, I’ve got to be running along, Henri. I want to make me confession to Father Dodd. Father Schmidt at the cathedral is getting a bit hard of bearing and I don’t want to bellow me .sins out to every Tom, Dick and»Harry.” “Do you want to give ten dollars for this investigation?” Henri asked. ‘Til have to see about it,” Miss Julie said. “Ten dollars is a heap of money. Give Heloise my love, and the child, too. She’ll be bome sobn, 1 suppose.” “Her graduation is next Saturday,” Henri said proudly. “H’m,” said Miss Julie, convey--' „ ing to Henri what he knew quite well—that she did not approve of girls going to college. “You go- . ing?” ' "Yes,” Henri said. “I feel I ought to be there. It’s a great occasion.” “I must send her a trifle/’ Miss Julie said. “Good-bye, Henri. Remember me in your [prayers.” Henri promised- He replaced his hat and Watched her cross the street. J !

the sidewalk before him. It was a ten cent piece. The heir to the Lemay millions underwent a struggle. That dime promised a good agar, and Henn’s mouth almost wateredpublicly. His C* vstmas box of Colorado claros, henry O’Donnoll's regular gift, had long been exhausted, probably with the assistance oi Lafayette Washington Lee, their hanger-on, via Queenie the cook, and Henri could not often afford to buy a cigar. Now, the thought having entered his mmd, he longed tor one. hut could tie, literally and figuratively, stoop to retneve a base coin right there tn the street? Henri set a thin shoe carefully over the piece of money. Ten cents. On the one hand, a good cigar, and. on the other hand, the indignity of bending over to pick up a dime on King street on Saturday afternoon, instead of grandly pointing it out to some small boy, as befitted the son of George Lemay, once owner 1 of broad acres along the Edisto river. An old superstition came to Henri's aid. "Coming events,” he murmured, “cast their shadows before.” Suddenly seeing the finding ; of the {dime as a gopd omen for his inheritance, he decided that it would not do to affront fortune, so he picked up the coin. Perhaps, he thought, Heloise would enjoy a bit of ice cream. Cigars, after all, were bad for a singer, Henri bought a half-pint container of vanilla and hurried home before it could melt. He did not like to be seen carrying packages, but luckily the neighborhood piazzas were deserted. He Unlocked the door and entered the piazza, and the stooped figure of Lafayette Washington Lee rose from its restful posture at the rear. “Evenin’, Mistuh Henri,” Lafayette mumbled, and collapsed. "Good-evening, Lafayette,” Henri said. He hung his hat on the ancient hatrack, rested his cane in the umbrella stand, and went to the kitenen, where he found the diminutive Queenie ironing a shirt. “Queenie, I’ve brought some ice cream: for Miss Heloise. You’d .better serve it before it melts.” ~ “Yes suh,” Queenie said, replacing the iron on the stove. “You iwant®: some ?” "Nd, 1 don’t believe so. Better have some yourself.” “Thank you,. Mlst uh - Henri," Queenie said, ”bu£ I don't think I ; .cares for any this afternoon.” Henri nodded curtly. For a tno- > Iment, with the sensitivity of the ‘poor, he wondered if Queenie was gibing at the fact that he had i brought only a half pint/but he ■ decided that she wasn’t It was just i the way of everyone 'tn that house, forever pretending not to t want something so that somebody ■' - /J ‘ 1-

else could have enough. Heloise sat in a rocking chiir on the upstairs piazza hemming a handkerchief. She was a short plump w oman, a couple of years younger than her brother, with a hearty round face, pretty blue eyes, and a small, round. humorous mouth. She was dressed in thin gray col ton. and the toes ot sensible black shoes peeped out from her lone skirts. Her hair, which was graying, was worn high on her headl and swept back from her brow, giving an even greater look of frankness to her pleasant features. “Ehijoy your walk, Brother?” she - inquired. •'’id . Henri sat down rather wearily in the other piazza rocker. “Not so much ad 1 might have,” be said. *T met Cousin Julie and she hauled me over the coals because she hadn’t been told about the legacy. “pear me,” Heloise said, choking back a Hugh. “She was eating hard candy,” Henri complained, and then Heloise did laugh. ! L “Dignity;” Heloise said tolerantly, “was never Cousin Julie's long suit.” A “And, of course, she’s' put out about not being told. How do you suppose she found out? I haven’t told Anybody.” “Neither have I,” Heloise said quickly. “The grapevine, 1 expect.” She indicated the general direction of the kitchen and rolled her eyes. Whereu]K>n, as if conjured up, Queenie appeared with the ice cream. “ I I ■ . Heloisje started and then looked pleased. - \ *!Wtell, what a surprise!” exclaimed. hank you, Queeme.” Queenie silently vanished. Aren’t you goixg to have some?” “No, 1. just thought a mouthful would tiste good to you,” Henri said. “It was Very thoughtful. I hope that legacy isn’t making you extravagant.’!; J “No,” Henri said. “You know I’m too old a bird to be caught with that sori of thing. Sister. I found a dime,” he admitted,' flushing. “Wail, I’m glad you weren’t too proud to pick it up. I feel pig, eating all by myself. Go on, tell me what Cousin Julie said about the legacy 1” “She don’t seem to take much stock ir it. She said ten dollars was a hleap of money.” i “It certainly is.” “On the othec hand, I don’t like to think of depriving you and Loonie of—-of a competence,” Henri j said, “just to save a few dollars.” ; ; Heloise waa silent. Henri, disappointed pt her lack of support, although of course he hadn’t expected it, dropped that aspect of the 'sutect. “L wish Queenie wouldn’t talk,” he said fretfully.
