I LADY ADVISES GIRL SCOUTS TO TAKE Philadelphia, Oct. 25. (AP) Mrs. Franklin D.

"To remain free," she de clared last night at the 25th an nual convention of the National Council of Girl Scouts, "you must take an interest in all the problems that come before your country." Mrs. Roosevelt told the Girl Scouts: "You have time to train your selves to meet emergencies that may arise In a world that is none too stable. "You must think, too. of what you can do to help other people throughout the world women, children and families like yours, now living under conditions they probably never dreamed they would see." At Mrs. Roosevelt's right hand was Mrs. Herbert Hoover, in Girl Scout uniform. Mrs. Roose velt wore a simple black dress.

(AP) In the wake of one of the most disruptive fall snow storms in Alberta in many years, farmers in northern districts hoped to day for warm weather so they could resume threshing opera tions while both Calgary and Edmonton struggled to restore normal traffic conditions. Snow fell throughout north ern and central Alberta yester day with more than nine inches reported at Edmonton where streetcar and trolley bus sched ules were disrupted and glassy streets caused numerous minor motor collisions.

T LADY EARLY IN ISMS SHOPPING; LIKES WASPISH WAIST New York, Oct. 25. (API- Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt did her Christmas shopping early to day, explaining "this visit coin cides with the suggestion of an early Thanksgiving." In one hour and 15 minutes. the President's wife breezed through a Fifth avenue depart ment store, buying handbags, handkerchiefs, silk stockings, neckties and baby things for presents, and a winter wardrobe for herself every one of the eight dresses featured by the new style "wasp" waist. Last year Mrs. Roosevelt did her Christmas shopping at the same establishment, but did not appear there until November 20. She did not mention her hus band in connection with the earlier Thanksgiving proposal but. in recommending the holi day be advanced a week, he con tended it would provide more time for Christmas shopping. A military cut distinguished a black crepe street dress Mrs. Roosevelt bought for herself. It had officer's braid in front and a red vest. Another black street dress was the most waspish waisted of all her purchases, a circle of spider web shirring in front giving it this pronounced effect. A din ner gown of gold lame, two evening gowns, two more day time dresses and a suit com pleted the wardrobe. IN Vale, Ore., Oct. 25. (AP) Since U.

Public Health Service reported in 1901 a mottled state of the enamel of the teeth of Italian emigrants coming from a district a few miles from Naples. The same enamel defect has been found in residents of several districts in this coun try. In 1927 other health officers of the U. S. bureau learned that the Italian district had changed its supply of wa ter since 1901, and the resi dent of the dis trict no longer had mottled enamel. Mottled enamel makes the teeth appear a ghastly opaque white, quite unlike the normal lustre of the teeth, and in many instances gives the teeth a brown or yellow stain, in some cases the teeth appear almost black. The form of the teeth is not affected. The condition is rarely seen in tiie temporary teeth. Most in stances of mottled enamel are in school children. Once the stain develops it is irremovable. The condition is due to the presence of fluorides in the drinking water. The only way to eradicate the trouble when it affects a considerable number of persons residing in the com munity is to change the public water supply to a source known to cause no such trouble, or to import drinking water from a source of known purity. Dental Care in Pregnancy During pregnancy there is an increased requirement for cal cium, phosphorus and the es sential vitamins. If the woman's daily intake of these is not much greater than what might be suf ficient to prevent deficiency di sease in her ordinary condition, the growing fetus will not exact ly take the calcium and phos phorus out of the mother's teeth but. being a parasite, will have first call on the limited intake of the essential minerals and vitamins for building bones, teeth, etc., so that the mother's own bones, nerves, teeth, etc., are bound to suffer from nutri tional deficiency. That Is why so many expec tant mothers suffer rapid soften ing and decay of the teeth. There Is no mystery about it all. Sim ply nutritional deficiency.

As the senate debate winds tip, the house's attitude on repeal of the arms embargo becomes an im mediate question. As of today, the answer appears to be that, while a majority of house mem bers favor repeal, the margin is narrow enough to leave plenty of room for accidents. Despite reports to the con trary, the repealist strategists are rather confident that acci dents can be avoided The house situation was among the topics discussed at the White House Monday, when Vice - President John N. Garner, Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley and Minority Leader Charles L. Mc N'ary conferred with the Presi dent.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS "Tovlc" Goiter Please (give your opinion of the treatment of toxic goiter with X-rays (A. D.) Answer It would be risky to put yourself In the hands of a charlatan such hh the one who distributes the pamphlet you inclose. A doctor or specialist who Is good can keep fairly busy taking care of people sent to him by his satisfied patients. In the hands of a physician skilled In it use X-ray Is sometimes excellent treatment for exophthalmic goiter. Fibroid Doctor has advised operation to remove fibroin tumor of uterus. Is surgery the only remedy? is there no other treatment tha$ might cure? (Mrs. B. H. J.) Answer In many cases of fibroid tumor X-ray treatment Is sufficient, provided that sterility usually In duced by X-ray treatment Is not a bar. Such tumors may never cause any serious trouble In fact women with fibroids (myomata) sometimes learn only incidentally of the pres ence of the tumors. Fibroid should not be confused with cancer. If fibroid tumor does give trouble, re moval of the tumor is an absolute cure. riiipf-ecl Ears Sometimes one, 'sometimes both of my ears are plugged up and I am quite deaf after a bath. When this happens 'iere are unpleasant noises In my ears too. C. J. F.) AnswerAccumulation of hardened cerumen (ear wax) swells when wet. and produces such trouble. Only safe way to remove plugs Is by Irrigation of ear canals with agreeably warm water containing tablespoonful soda (salei-atus) to quart, which your doc tor should teach you to do.

I On the other hand, there Is also a possum, tv that the house will approve repeal bv a majority well above darner's minimum. The sen at vote is cxiMvted to be two to one for rejw.U. which will inevitably Impress the house The house will lie presented with the Issue In the pleiisantest and easiest way. for the plan is to avoid all voting en details of policy, merely sending the sen ate bill to conference and then act ing on the confer.-m'c report.

Meanwhile, everything possible is being done to hold the repeallst line. One or two high administration of ficials who enjoy much prestige with congress have already atarted prose lyting. As a last resource, perhaps fifteen additional votes may be ob tained by putting the heat on In earnest, with the president mobiliz ing governora. national committee men and uther potent allies to drive house members Into the repeal cor. ral. Altogether, house approval of repeal la a good bet, but not a cer tainty. And the only very likely ac cident is over-opttmism among the leaders. Communications For Park Bull To the Editor: I am emphatically for a park and the P. and E. tract is the ideal place for it and will at the same time remove an eye sore right out of the center of town; also, both Ashland and Grants Pass have large parks and Medford has no place to even hold a small picnic. I have always advocated that the whole length of Bear creek from Jack son street to the fairgrounds should be parked. But there are some strings attached to my approval of the present plan. My opinion is that the ground could be bought for less money and I have talked to several real estate agents who are of the same opinion; really, though, the difference in the prices would be only a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the park. The second string is that no park will ever be developed there for any less than about $100,000, and although the first bond issue will be $30,000. we can be sure to be saddled with several thousand every year tacked to the city budget for that purpose. The third string is that we need to straighten out some rot ten spots in all our budgets and one budget is rotten to the very core. We need a citizens' com mittee that is not hand-picked by the officials themselves, to look into this. String four will be that the sponsors of this park have given us no budget as to how they intend to use this money; how many thousand dollars for sur veying and engineering, etc.; how much for trees, shrubbery, grass seed, water mains. We should have a budget on this proposition. Another item is. who Is going to have charge of this work? We have too many irresponsible money spenders now who have no idea as to the value of a dol lar. My idea is to first have a tax budget committee who will have guts enough to wade into our present budgets and straight en them out, then we would have enough money every year to build three such parks and not raise taxes one cent. So. until some of the above mentioned are attended to, I am going to be AGAINST any more bond issues. At the same time. I do not want this matter dropped; let us get all the plans for a park before the people and at some later date, when we know something- about it, we can have an other try at it. Respectfully. Geo.

This senator has consulted col leagues as to his right to quote the president and has been ad vised that while he can say any thing on the senate floor ex cept something reflecting on the character of a fellow member or the chief executive, it is not regarded as ethical to quote what the president says in a private conversation.
