ARMSTRONG HUNT FAILURE Papers and Photographs in Missing Girl's Room Destroyed. HAVANA, July 31. Detectives and members of the secret police who have been investigating the disappearance of Ruth Armstrong, an American girl, today made voluminous reports to the Judge having charge of the case. The reports failed to show the slightest FOR three generations of dentists The S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Company has been headquart ers for every variety of dental equipment and supplies. Engraved on chisels, excavators, forceps on a hundred other instruments on whose fineness of temper and micro measured accuracy of design the dentist depends for the success of his work the S. S.W. trademark has always carried with it absolute assurance of quality. For 72 years The S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Company has consistently co-operated with leaders of the profession in ad vancing the science of dentistry. The S. S. White laboratories have been centers of research work whence have come forth new implements, new materials, and new techniques which have made the American dentist famous for expertness. For the dentist, it is just as important that 'his patient's teeth bo cleaned with a reliable dentifrice as it is that they be filled with a reliable amalgam. Hence, as a logical extension of our service to the dentist, we have put the S. S. V. monogram on the best tooth paste which science has prepared. We offer S. S. White Tooth Paste to the dentist and to the general public with full confidence. A Wholesome, Non-Medicated Cleanser The whole purpose of a dentifrice is to help the tooth brush re- ' move food deposits to cleanse, and cleanse pleasantly. No tooth paste can rid the mouth of germs, because an antiseptic strong enough to do this would injure the delicate mucous membranes. Besides, mouth liquids are so constantly changing that the direct effects of an antiseptic cannot last more than thirty minutes. S. S. White Tooth Paste contains no drugs or chemicals, the effect of which is to corrode the teeth, irritate the lining of the mouth, or alter the secretion of saliva. It has an agreeable, clean taste and is extremely effective as a cleanser and in polishing the enamel. Ask your druggist for S. S. White Tooth Paste. Write us for a copy of our booklet, "Good Teeth; How They Grow and How To Keep Them." This is the booklet which is now being used in many cities as a text book in the public schools.

The police claimed that they had combed the city thoroughly, but had found no one who had seen the girl after she left her boarding, house on the night of July 16. Notwithstanding their previous as sertions that everything in the room occupied by the young woman had been intact when she disappeared, the report of the detectives today in timated that photographs and papers in the room had been destroyed and that her name also had been removed from the books. This report does not reconcile the fact, however, that the young woman did leave many photo graphs of herself behind and that when she disappeared she wore her oldest dress and shoes Oregon Graduate Appointed.
