In the laboratories their caretakers grew tooth cavities in the rodents almost at will, or prevented them almost entirely. . All tltis was done simply by giving the rats the right proportions of phosphorus and calcium. This correct ratio was about four parts of phosphorus to three of calcium. Proportions of three to two did not work. Not only the ratio was important but the amount also. There was a minimum of the fertilizers below which they failed of effectiveness.

FEDERAL AGENTS ARE I EYEING ‘LOVE CLUBS’ - - - ■

. — f Powers Case Starts Government Probe of Matrimonial Agencies. Washington.—While Harry F. Powers prepares to go to the gallpws In March in the state penitentiary at 4 Moundsvllle. W. Va., federal authorities are making a nation-wide Investigation of matrimonial agencies and love clubs such as the one through which Powers met two women he murdered. There are more than 300 such agencies In the United States; It Is asserted, and they have more than a million “members,” including both men and wotben. The government charges that men and women are not only being swindled by these organisations but also that through them they are also being placed at the mercy of confidence men, blackmailers, and even killers. Powers, who was condemned to die for killing a Chicago woman after he had made love to her and obtained her money after meeting her through, a Detroit matrimonial agency. Is not the first to take life under such circumstances. Still remembered is the case of Desire laindru, called “Bluebeard," the Frenchman who dismembered the bodies of tl women to whom he had made love before robbing and then killing them. Landru lured his victims through “love wanted” notices, as also did Bela Kiss, Hungarian.

that 80 per cent of them developed cavities in 140 days. With properly balanced diet this decay was cut to 5 per cent. The investigators further ascertained that the portion of the phosphorus in the blood is of vital importance. and that tills is related to .vitamin D. Calcium and phosphorus are two of the principal fertilizers. They reach man daily in many different kinds of food, but their proportions vary greatly. Vitamin; D comes noth from eating food and from sunshine or ul-tra-violet light on the skin.

Years ago Johann Hoch, of Chicago, became acquainted with 12 women whom he married, robbed and killed. The fate met by the victims of Powers has not by any means put a damp- * .• on the business of the matrimonial agencies and the love clubs. Investigating agents have learned.. Hundreds of letter# are put into the mails every day in all parts of the country as men and women from all walks of life take advantage of honeyed offers of "soul mates” and “connubial bliss.” Investigators assert that all aequaintances arranged through these matrimonial agencies are. dangerous. There are numerous cases where “love club” correspondence has resulted tn happy marriages, but at the same time the dangerous contacts so greatly out-, number the safe ones that federal authorities have asserted that there should be more strict federal supervision of the activities of all of them.

LIKE THE THOUGHT OF BEING MARTYRS Some Deliberately Seem to Cultivate the Habit. Successes are all right, but It’s your failures that make life really worth while—if you. are really interested In the art of Martyrdom. All that’s necessary to make you a topflight martyr is to convince yourself (a) that yo have been wronged, and (b) that you have great Spiritual Qualities. Take business, for instance. You> are. anxious to put that transaction across, and you go to Smitbers and give, him your sales talk. He retaliates by giving you a super sales talk in which he explains clearly why your schemes are all .svet. If you are foolish you put that down as a tough break, and sulk about it If you are wise you become a Martyr on the Altar of Big Business, and have loads of fun. You convince yourself that you are a Noble Soul—not interested in material things, a Soul too good for the crass mercenary world In which you have been placed. People don’t appreciate your Spiritual Side. Cultivate the habit of not being appreciated, and in no time you’ll be so happy you' could sing. Or take sport. You go into a tournament. and take a beating from some duffer who obviously has no more Spiritual Qualities than a side order of spinach. Is your failure due to inability? Nonsense. It’s due to your Spiritual Qualities. Think of the people you’ve been practicing with. Haven’t you sacrificed yourself? Haven’t you been playing against inferior opposition just to give the others joy? Os course you have, if you're worth 2 cents as a martyr. Couldn’t you beat anybody in the world if you concentrated purely on winning instead of playing for the Joy of the (Janie? And there you are. You’re a Noble Soul, and glad you lost. Did you take a beating at bridge? rDidn’t you sacrifice yourself and make a fourth when you'd have preferred to be alone; communing with your soul? (And maybe you had bad cards, too.) Disappointed in love? Obviously pot appreciated for your Finer Side. Not invited to that party when you should have been? Because you refuse to stoop to being a pusher. Os course not everybody in the world can be a martyr, bub , be honest with yourself. Aren't you one? —Kansas City Times.

French Writer oil American Culture I should like to meet In every European country women as truly cultivated as those whom I have seen in the great colleges of the eastern United States —at Bryn Mawr, tit Vassar and at Smith. My students at Princeton were capable ‘of following intelligently a lecture In French, and ; their reading, was wide. To read the,,output of the younger American authors is to be convinced that it could not be the expression of an uncultured people. A novelist such as Hemingway, by his taste and his restraint, heralds a great epoch. A critic like Edmund Wilson would do honor to any French or English review. The tone of the best magazines indicates a 1 taste for ideas. It might be vered that these magazines address themselves only to a small minority of highbrows, and that the rest are vulgar. But is not that true of all countries? For my part, I think, like my fellow countryman, Paul Morand, that we shall have difficulty In saving our western civilization during the next few decades, bnt that one of its sanctuaries, along with Paris, London and some of the grefit European universities, will be the rocky islets of Manhattan.—Andre Maurois In the London Morning Post. Romantic Cipher Some years ago a clever American professor was asked by a young lady for a cipher that could be easily worked out without being too difficult to read, whereupon he penned the following: I U 0 a 0, but I0U: O 0 no 0, but O 0 me; O let not my 0 a 0 go. But gi\*e 0 0 1 0 U so. When the key to this is obtained It lilts like a love song. The secret of it lies in the fact/that a naught" Is a cipher and that it is easy to make this word “sigh for” whenever required. It reads phonetically with 'perfect ease, hut the written form IS perhaps more readily intelligible: You sigh for a cipher, but I sigh for you: ’ j O sigji for no cipher, but O sigh for d me, ' j ' * O let not my sigh for a cipher go. But give sigh for sigh, for X sigh for you so. Precaution j ■■ j, Rosddie was taking his little brother Phil to Sunday school for the first time.
