Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Hardly one in fifty escapes such troubles under old ways of teeth cleaning. Modern science hag found ways to fight that film. One disintegrates

tion ripe for his radical activities. The close of the World War had brought great prosperity to Vera Cruz. Salaries went sky high. But rents went the salaries one better. Houses that formerly rented for 15 pesos a month were raised In some cases to as high as 125 pesos. Naturally there was much bitterness against the landlords. Proal saw his chance and took it. He began making speeches on the street corners. He advocated the taking over of the houses- he refusal to pay rent. At first he was jeered—even stoned. But gradually he built up a fol lowing. Following Claimed Today he claims a following in the city of Vera Cruz of 45,000 and in the State of 300,000. The 45,0°9 in the city comprise 10,000 families who do not pay rent. Proal has his headquarters near the magnificent custom house built hv Porfirio Diaz, the former president of Mexico, who, thirty years ago, put down a similar rent agitation in Vera Cruz, by shooting the leaders in the plaza. As he talks, he works himself into blind fury. I asked him to tell me something of his movement. “We are not Bolsheviks,” hp almost shouted. (I hadn’t said anything about Bolsheviks). "All you Americans claim that I and my people are Reds. We are not. We merely want a square deal for the people. Workers Oppressed “It makes no difference to us who is president—or what form the Government takes. All of them have oppressed the workers. “Freedom. We have It in name only. The Spaniard rules us. He owns all the land, the big businesses, the banks, the factories. "We are still his slaves —as In the time of Cortez. “We want our economic freedom. The right to enjoy the products of our labor. To live in sanitary houses whose rent is within our means. “What does it matter to us who is president? “They fight—not because of the honor that it is to he president—but for what they can get out of it. "They steal their millions from the people, and then go to foreign lands to enjoy them. People Pay "And the people pay. “But the time is coming when the people will rule —when the worker will have come Into his own—and then there will be peace and plenty for all.”

ALLEGED DIAMOND ROBBERS HELD AS ‘TRUST’ MEMBERS Man Arrested in Indianapolis One of Four Picked Up in Chicago. By United Press CHICAGO, March 18.—Four persons are in jail and a dozen suspects are being watched in a diamond robbers’ trust investigation under way by two private detective agencies and police of Chicago and New York. The operations of the trust netted some $8,000,000 in gems and insurance money, State's Attorney Crowe estimated. Morris Levinson, Chicago diamond merchant; Lawson Jaffe, salesman employed by Levinson; James I’robasco, former cabaret owner, and Miss Julie Smith, companion of Probasco, were taken into custody last night. Other Chicago diamond dealers and salesmen are under investigation. Detectives also are investigating a beautiful young woman of "oriental caste" who played the siren and lured diamond salesmen into submitting to fake robberies. The girl with the “oriental caste” resided in a fashionable South Side hotel, detectives declared. She had an unerring nose for salesmen with valuable consignments and after a round of dances and flirting, would suggest fake robberies. If the salesmen agreed she passed the word to her confederates. Where the salesmen disagreed, they were held up and robbed just ahe same. Detectives charged Levinson was involved in many of the fake robbery deals: that Jaffe is an accomplice and that Probasco and Miss Smith also aided in the deals. Miss Smith directed the police to a $50,000 cache of diamonds. She told them Jaffe took the diamonds to Indianapolis last week, but was unable to dispose of them. Lewis Radt, salesman for A. Lorsch j Company, New York diamond mer- | chants. Is under watch in a New | York sanitarium, Crowe said.
