Strong searchlights play over the black rain clouds at night, National-Guard lads are drilling and shooting machine-gun blanks in front of the Willard hotel, one hears war talk everywhere, on the street corners, in the hotel lobbies snd of course the halls of congress. Washingtonians are convinced if war should be declared, not New York but the District of Columbia, would be the first target for an invading air fleet. It all sounds rather fantastic to a visitor from the Pacific coast, but perhaps if one lived permanently in the munition area of the Atlantic seaboard, it wouldn t. Even the President's press conferences have changed. No one can walk jauntily up to the White House executive offices now, for the ground gates are closed with a policeman on guard, and no unidentified persons arc admitted. Then Bill Donaldson, who has charge of these conferences, goes over the boys as they enter, more carefully than ever before. Having known Bill slightly ever since the Democratic convention in Philadelphia, and this being our third or fourth press conference we anticipated no trouble. There was none. But Bill wanted to know whether we intended to wire a report or not, and rather sternly ordered us to take our hands out of our coat pockets. We did, meekly, and then marched in, with the largest crowd of newspaper men we have ever seen, at one of these gatherings. Johnny Kelly, who was with us, explained that, hands in pockets had always been taboo when entering a room to greet the President, so this wasn 't a war regulation, it is just some thing we never happened to have run into before. It is a perfectly sensible rule of course, although we doubt if anyone PLANNING an assassination, at a press conference, would walk in like Menace No. 1 in a gangster stick-up I a a o But the greatest change was in the President 1 His chair was tilted back, his head was cocked jauntily enough, and that ever present cigaret holder was held at the usual perky 45 degree angle, but there the President of, two years ago or even seven months ago STOPPED. Here wus an older, soberer man, more lines in his face, more gray in his hair, and even more striking, more dignity and far less breezy bounce. There was no sign of dejection or lack of the old self-assured vigor, but it was clearly under control, the President was solemn, serious, and very much in earnest. a a a a From the standpoint of drama or news the conference was a disappointment. The President didn't think the new Pan American sea zoning regulation would bring the country into war; agreed that boats bootlegging contrabam at sea would get into trouble; decided to spend some money for army housing that hadn't been appropriated, on the assumption that this was a congressional oversight; also favored more money to promote trade with South America and so on find so forth. 0 a a The one chance of something colorful the President side stepped. One of the newspaper men, asked if the President would care to express an opinion, entirely in the abstract, as to the propriety of a former member of the administration, revealing matters of a confidential nature, through the public prints, This referred, of course, to Raymond Moley's recent series of articles in the Saturday Evening Post. The President didn't hesitate: "I think that question answers itself ! ' he observed dryly. The only new gadget we noticed on the President's desk was a stuffed horse, not a donkey, a roan pony about the size of a pekinese. Across the room two large wall maps were hanging, one of Poland, with arrows marked in great pro fusion around Warsaw, had been set to one side, the other of Europe had colored pins set along the Siegfried line, we got the impression they had not been checked up for a long time, though perhaps they had been. To date the Oregon delegation has received about twice as many communications against the repeal of the arms embargo as for it, and no doubt naturally all the members but one, Congressman Pierce, will vote against the "cash and carry" plan (the new term is the "title and carry" plan). At least that is the result of a survey at the present time. (One can never be too suro how the votes will be listed at the final show down.) Mr. Pierce explains his vote by the fact that the communications are the result of a definite pro-German propa ganda, and do not represent public opinion in his state, a We have an idea "Our Walter" is right this time. But how does he KNOW, bow can any congressman know, what the majority view is without a referendum 1 The answer to that is he CAN'T. Therefore in lieu of such knowledge he should do precisely as Walter is doing, vote according to the dictates of his own conscience, vote for the action ho believes is riirht, and to tho best interests of his country. We clenrly recall Evan Kennies when senator, was severely criticized for taking just such action, but as this column re marked at the time, this is any senator's or congressman's privilege, and without the assumption of such responsibility, true leadership or successful functioning of representative gov ernment is impossible. In this direction a quotation from Edmund Burke, made recently by Walter Lippmann, is decidedly pertinent: Burke said of the statesman's responsibility to his constitu ents: ' "His unbiased opinion, his MATURE Judgment, hla enlight ened conscience, he ought not to aacrlflco to you. to any man, or to any aet of men, living. . . , They are a trust from Provi dence for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your representative owos you, not hli, Industry alone, but his Judg ment; and he betrays you Instead of serving you. if he sacrifices It to jour opinion." R. W. R.

In an epitome on tha subject one cant dlsmlsa tooth ache so lightly. Decay or cav ity forma tlon may progress as far as Involve ment of the pulp In the center of the tooth before the child feels more than ten derness or slight sensitivity to hot or cold liquids or to candy or other sweets. Uncon sciously the child favors the sensitive side of the mouth and gets Into the habit of chewing on one aide of the mouth, which still further predisposes the teeth on the unused side to decay. Actual toothache means Inflamma tion In the pulp. If the ache be comes throbbing, abscess occurs sup puration, and destruction of the pulp. The pulp is not only the nerve structure but what la more Important, the vascular structure whence the tooth is nourished, chiefly. If the cavity can be seen, packing It lightly with a wisp of cotton sat urated with oil of cloves may give relief. If this does not give relief, the dentor may be able to find the opening Into the pulp chamber, en large it a bit and afford vent to the blood or pus congested or under pressure therein, thus bringing Im mediate relief. If abscess develops commonly called ''ulcerated tooth" the face swells over the damaged tooth and the throbbing pain destroys all eleep or peace until the abscess Is drained. The victim may have some fever, with or without chills, If the proper treatment la put off too many hours. If the abscess "points" on the gum, of course the Immediate "lanc ing" of the "gum boll" Is always advisable. If the suppuration la confined within the pulp chamber or within the tooth socket, relief can be given either by Immediate extraction of the tooth or, if the dentor believes the tooth may still serve a useful purpose, by draining tho abscess through the root canal or through the pulp chamber. The quaint pro cedure of ignorant practitioners In the past and some quacks today, of postponing surgical Interference un til "the inflammation has gone The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. WASHINOTON. Oct. 8. A mean ingful straw in the wind is the spreading conviction that senate de bate on repeal of the Arms embargo will lost only about half as long as originally predicted. The senate de bate la the great set-piece of the embargo fight. Once the senate cast, leaders on both sides think the house will be content with a couple of days of talk. And, If the senatorial ora tory is to continue for three weeks Instead of six. then the opponents of repeal have leas chance than ever. This does not necessarily Imply that the special session of congress Is due for early adjournment. Strong senti ment exlfta, both among Republicans and Roosevelt-distrurtlrg Democrats, to keep congress on the Job without interruption. House Republican Lead er Joseph W. Martin, Jr.. Is reported to be seriously considering making an Issue of the mntter. once the embargo H out of the way. Meanwhile, the prophecy thst the senate will soon get tired of listen ing to Itself comes from Impressively diverse and authoritative sources. Even the chieftain the Isolation ists privately admit that they can not talk forever. Repeallst stratg gtsta. such as the astute Senator James F. Byrnes, are inclined to be lieve that they can get , vote In Just over two week more. The shrewdly cynical leader of the sen ate Republican. Charles U McNary. who may be accepted aa a pretty Impartial Judge, has been heard to remark that "the trail i getting pretty dusty." The truth is. pretty nearly every thing there la to say on the embnrso haa been said already. .Senators do not mind lepetltlon so long aa they do not have to hear too much of it. But. In this case, the ivnate Demo cratic ateertn committee has de ckled unanimously ncalnst consider ing any other legislation. The President hiu Isrucd strict or ders to his department hends, warn ing them of dire penlU"w. that there must be no requests for special bills No committees hnve eren met except for the foreign relations committee, and the senator have nothing to do except listen to one another.

Tha danger from "ulcerated tooth" ends with drainage of the abscess, however this may be brought about. The damage sometime caused by unwarranted delay in surgical treatment has too often been lgnorantly or viciously charged to the treatment. UnJor tunately, the courts of Yankceland share the Ignorance of the public about this. A reasonable amount of Ignorance may be excustble. but only a veritable fool would suffer "ulcer ated tooth" for days and nights when there Is a twentieth century dentor within reach. Aside from the mere pain, there is the certainty that with every hour the trouble Is permitted to go unrelieved the dam age to the system or to the Jaw bone la Increasing and so is the danger.

Note: Persona wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D 265 El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. Besides the propablllty that de bate will be shortened, another fac tor operating in favor of quick ac tion Is the ending of the flood of letters about the arms embargo. The mall coming In now Is a mere trickle. However they may be exhorted, it will be difficult to persuade Coughltnltett and members of the other anti-repeal groups to write again when they have written already. None of this should be taken, of course, as absolutely insuring repeal. The unforseen can happen at any moment, and often does. At present, the betting on repeal Is at least two to one, but It would return to even the instant the President Interfered In ths struggle. In that event, the conservative Democrats, who have been willing to line up behind men like Byrnes, would feel free to walk out again. Other possible develop ment, such ns a real Indication that the German "peace offensive" was meeting with success, would prove damaging In other ways. There are also many possible de velopments which might reverse the prophecies of brief debate without affecting the struggle's outcome. Sev eral senators have ideas for amend ments on which they are Insistent. The problem of the 90-day credits may take time to iron out, despite the fact that the credit provisions of the present bill are stricter than those In the sacred neutrality act. The problem of cash-and-carry's ef fect on our merchant marine may j also prove troublesome, although Sen ator uosian w. cauey is woriuiiK nam to obtain an agreement to keep Amer lean shipping on the seas. Whether it Is long or short, how ever, the debate cannot be very lm presslve. With one or two exceptions, the repealists are too timid to voicv their real argument, so movingly put by the veteran George Norrls, that repeal will help to keep America out of war by helping to avert the only situation In which thla country might consider fighting danger of defeat of the English and French. Aa for the senators on the othet side, with all their sincerity and eloquence, they can hardly make much of the Idea that. If the em bargo is repealed, Germany will at tempt warlike reprisals. It sounds too much like the Newport dowager In tha last war.
