2 T1 oda //. G. Wells for Birth Control. Intelligent Bootleggers. Style Dress for Working Girls. Try to Be Honest—But. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ H. G. Wells demands legalization of birth control and widest pub licity of birth control knowledge. It’3 true that every rich woman, from her doctor, can get the knowl edge withheld from poor women and it is true that the individual woman, not distant lawmakers, should, in strict justice, be allowed to decide on the size of her families. Rut there are a good many “buts” in volved. Nature manages the problems of reproduction among men and lower animals, in her own way, without worrying about “strict justice.” The mouse lives two or three years, on the average, and has 100 children and many thousands of grand chil dren. The elephant lives 100 years and averages not more than two children. Elephants survive, mice die off, so nature provides more mice to keep things balanced. The children of the rich survive to an extent 100 per cent greater than with the children of the poor. So nature provides more children. It is to be remembered that chil dren of poor mothers are usually the most valuable. Take Lincoln, Edison and Henry Ford, as ex amples. If Caruso’s mother had ap plied birth control, after the arrival of her 18th child, there would be no Caruso, singing on the talking machine while his body lies in the grave. He was number 19 among his brothers and sisters. Letitia Ramolitjo Bonaparte be gan having children before she was 16 and had several before Napoleon was born. Perhaps it would have been as well, for the world, had he never appeared. But, generally speaking, the really able man usually appears early, in the family of the great, and late in poor families. Galton says it’s because great peo ple, kings especially, soon tire of their wives, so that the first child horn in affection, is apt to be the best. With poor people, affection increases, between husband and wife with time, and the later chil dren are the best children. It’s a difficult problem. Not even H. C. Wells ran be sure about it Bootleggers may be criminals. In fact, there is no "maybe” about it. But they are intelligent and prove it in violent protest against the attempt to legalize 2.75 per cent beer. They will provide funds, liberally, to fight that light beer idea. Light beer and wine would de stroy at least three-quarters of the bootlegging business. Thomas Jef ferson, more than 100 years ago, urged the use of light beer and wine as Ihe only way to check whisky, which, as he truly said, im poverished the people of his time and killed half of them. However, bootleggers need not worry. Prohi bition is in the constitution and will stay there for 30 years anyhow, barring revolution, jvhich is not coming. College young ladies of the Young Women's Christian association, tell working girls to dress plainly and demurely for their souls’ sake and to impress possible husbands with their good qualities. Sensible Helen Gwynne, retiring president of the Y. W. C. A., who is a factor} worker, and has presided over an assembly of 30,000 factory girls tells these girls to dress as conspicu ously as they can, “even flashily.’ The rifh gill, says Miss Gwynne can afford to dress plainly. That sets her off in her luxurious sur roundings. But the working girl, ir her plain home, must dress as well as she can, by way of contrast with her surroundings, if 'he wants to marry. Sensible Miss Gwynne. Don't steal. Be honest, upright worthy of citizenship in this glori ous republic. Rut, if you musi steal, remember it’s extremely dan gerous to steal only a little. Anj free born American who feels tha' he must steal is much safer in thii fine democracy if he steals a grea: deal. Take the case of Mr. Jules C Rabiner, when he felt that making money honestly was too slow, h» had sufficient intelligence to follov the established American plan ant keep away from petty larceny. H< went to Wall street, started a bucke shop, atole $800,000 from his vie time. Justice with all solemnity sentenced him to jail "for xii months to three years.” That wai three months ago. The wisp Mr Rabiner is now out of jail, and bar! !n Wall street, on parole. When h< •vent to prison he remarked to hii friends that. he. wouldn't, stay long Let us all hope that Mr. Rabine will hereafter be a model of all thi virtues and appreciate the quality o judicial mercy that sends an ignor ant half-brutish man to jail fo stealing $100, and sets free an in telligent, shrewd thief at the end o three months for stealing $800,000 (Gopyrlfht, 1424 ) Vi heat in Folk ( lonnty Promises Heavy Yieh Oaceola, Neb..

Washington, May 12.—The federal treasury faces deficit of more than !470,0o6,000 should the new tax bill and various other money hills become law, President Coolidge and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon were told today at a White House conference by Senator Smoot, republican of 1'tah, chairman of the senate finance commltte. Aside from the revenue bill, the measures In question are those to which the president has voiced re peated opposition, holding them to he legislation entailing "unwarranted ex penditure” of the public moneys. Senator Smoot detailed the various hills to the president and Secretary Mellon, together with the amount car ried in each. • "I Just wanted to give them a clear picture of the financial problems con gress is creating in departing from the budget,” Smoot explained. Much of the deficit would be created by the elimination of certain of the provisions originally written Into the new revenue bill: the remainder would come from extension of federal aid to various classes. Smoot said. . He cited. the amendments to the tax hill, which w-ould deprive the government of expected revenue from radio, tax-exempt securities, telegraph and telephone tolls, corporations, au tomobiles and accessories, and drafts and checks.

The great enemy is film Film is the teeth’s great enemy —that viscous film you feel. It causes most tooth troubles. It clings to teeth, becomes dis colored, forms cloudy coats, No ordinary tooth paste can effectively combat it. It makes teeth dingy and unclean. Film also holds food substance which ferments and forma acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause de cay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Few escape such troubles under old ways of teeth cleaning Modern science has found better Protect the Enamel Pepsodent disintegrates ths film, then removes it with an agent far softer than enamel. Never use a film combatant which contains harsh grit. _ The New-Dey Dentifrice Rased on modern research Now advised by leading dentists the world over. I way«. It hat found two film com batant!. One disintegrates the film at all stages of formation. One re moves it without harmful scouring. Able authorities have proved these methods effective.

Now careful people of some SO na tions use this modern method. Fe«l it act. See its results Pepeodent does other things im portant.
