Philadelphia, Oct. 25. (AP)
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt left
with more than 3,000 Girl
Scouts today her advice on the
role of young women in a "free"
nation at peace.
"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.

Alberta in many years, farmers
in northern districts hoped to

Edmonton struggled to restore
normal traffic conditions.
Snow fell throughout north

day with more than nine inches
reported at Edmonton where
streetcar and trolley bus sched

streets caused numerous minor
motor collisions. No motorists
were hurt.
Eighteen students were strand

MOTTLED
An officer of the U. S. 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

Washington, Oct. 25. 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. Garner is the wisest of all
legislative handcappers. and fa
miliar with the house's ways
from long experience. Having

"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.

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

way to remove plugs Is by Irrigation

tor should teach you to do. Never

and that enough recruits have been

vote, to give a clear repeal majority
of fifteen to plfjhtfen, county Dem
ocratic votes, along. Republicans
are counted on to supply the extra
vote required to maJte up the ma
jority named by Garner,
Nevertheless. It would be a grave
! mistake to suppose that house ap
proval of embargo repeal la now a
foregone conclusion, The house is a
huge body, ai.d opinion Is closely di
vlded. Before thin, the leadership
J has relied on apparent majorities,
: only to discover that this bloc or
that had run out at the last minute
I In the flrit norganlzatlon fight, for
example, the Louisiana representa
tives and the members of the La
I Pollette prweaslve group reversed
i all expectations bv voting against
the bill.
The house Ic unusually subject to
pressure, anil the most vociferous. If
not the rami representative, pressiire
groups are on the antl-repeil side.
An over-th -week deluge or orsan-la-cl
t'oughllmte mall might (rUhten
the members out of their wit. Mnnv
members, wl.llc favoring repeal and
believing -hat a majority of their
constituents aree with them, feel
that the pressure groups are of the
long-memorled. Anti-saloon league
' nien expresses Its resentment i
t the poll3.
Some may, therefore, be tempted j
lo duck a vote by staying nwav. I
Mouse Republican Leader Joseph
Martin. Jr., Is perhaps right In say- j
ing that 100 members have not yet
made up their minds, although the
repeallst rheekers reply that only !
twenty-five Democrats are In the i
category. 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

repeal, but there sue many others
of their type In the same slats of
mind, and a fair percentage may be
expected to reeolire their doubts on
the repealled side.
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. Iverson.
