NOT GENUINE
Even today there is a limit
beyond which a, woman dare I
not go in matters of dress and j
makeup lest
she become an J
object of ridi
cule. After all.
perso n a I ap
pearance and
personal man
ners, pleasing
voice and dic
tion are not
quite suffic
ient testa of
ref i n e m e n t
and culture.
Taste is indis
penslble. A woman of 50 who
has contrived, or perhaps Just
had the good fortune, to retain
more than the average degree
of grace and charm (vite Is the
word for it), mentioned that
although she had never devoted
much time to brushing her teeth
she had always visited her den
tist regularly for periodic In
spection, treatment and polish
ing. She couldn't understand
why some women went about
with teeth darkened and stain
ed for want of proper dental
care.
In the same breath this wo
man, whose good looking teeth
contributed considerably to her
p. a., remarked that only a year
ago she had lost a wisdom
tooth and a second molar which
the dentist had deemed too far
damaged from infected old root
fillings, to keep in the Jaw. Oh,
no, she hadn't felt it necessary
to have any artificial dentures
installed to fill the vacancies
and carry on the functions of
the missing teeth. The dentist
tried to persuade her to do so.
but she was sure the loss would
never show, for they were only
back teeth . . .
Now in casual conversation
you can't be too didactic, es
pecially when your opinion or
advice has not been sought. You
may manage to cite the rule
that one must deduct two years
from one's expectation of life
for every tooth lost by disease
or accident and not promptly
replaced by a functionally effic
ient denture of one kind of an
other. Even at fifty a man or
woman who still has fair health
pays litle heed to such gener
alities they apply to other
folks, perhaps, but hardly to
the Individual under considera
tion. Not long afterward the same
charming woman, chatting with
some friends, at the club, sym
pathized with one of them who
had fractured an upper Incisor
in an accident, said it was lucky
In the matter of peace which
we have been hearing so much
about, while I am not digest
ing that it is likely, it does
seem like a safe hot that Hit
ler must have at least paused
to consider offering England
some sort of terms in view of
the Russian development.
Should the Bolshevist threat
become more grave, it would
not cause overwhelming sur
prise if he did indeed say to
British Premier Churchill: 'You
keep what you have apd I'll
keep mine." The fuehrer cculd
afford such an offer, and it
might be tantalizing, though
England would be asking for
trouble if she accepted.
Anyway, Anglo-German de
velopments will depend in no
small degree on what Russia
has up her sleeve. This inva
sion of Bessarabia and nortnem
Bucovina of course cuts a lot
deeper than a racial question
and the return to Russia ot
land which she formerly held.
Long Russian Dream.
For generations Russia has
dreamed of driving a path
down the Balkan peninsula to
Constantinople, to secure con
trot of the Dardanelles and
thus dominate this whole srea
of the eastern Mediterranean.
Peter the Great was o:ic of
those fostering this idea, hut it
wasn't until 1812 that trio Rus
sians made real headway In
their program.
Prior to that they had forced
their way southward until they
had reached the great Dniester
river, which according te Ru
manian tradition God h.id Trac
ed as a boundary between Ru
mania and Poland. But the
Russians had no thought of
stopping at the Dniester, which
formed the northern boundary
of Bessarabia. They wanted to

the whole tooth had not been
lost, for probably the dentieti
could install a porcelain facing
or something which would be
indistinguishable from the nor
mal teeth. She herself had lost
two back teeth a year or two
ago, but as the spaces did not
show she had not bothered to
have bridges made. She had
heard that some dentists can
install peg teeth to fill spaces
without disturbing teeth on
either side of the space, teeth
built on some kind of metal
posts or pegs which are literally
screwed into the Jaw bone.
Yes, indeed, another woman
here remarked, a peg tootn
solves the problem In some
cases where a single tooth is
lost. She had a friend whose
dentist installed peg tooth to
replace a lower incisor two
years ago and it has proved
quite satisfactory. The dentist
who installed it advised that
peg teeth are used more for
appearance than for efficiency
and that he would not attempt
to insert one in place of a back
tooth where the chief strain of
mastication is borne.

Washington, July 2. In Eu

is whether the President will

probsbly intended to do In sny ess.
Knox, being snxlous to terra his
country, then sccapted ths presi

While talking to Knox, however,

Tha fact remains thst tha pres

cannot took forward to each day's
work with quit hta old asst. If he
did, ha would bs superhuman. In
the ft rat place, during the early
atagea of the world crista this spring,

presented problems while suffering
from a series of minor but exhaust

Important enough to make heavy
calls on ths president's time to pre
sent plans for Improved national de
fense, offers of cooperation end the

Being tired, tha president must
certainly feel a strong return of his
old unwillingness to run sgsln. Bo
fa. as your correspondents can dis
cover, not ons man or woman who
sees tha president often and is In
a position to Judge hta mind has
ever supposed thst If ha consulted
his purely personal Inclinations he
would seek a third term.
Before the war. the objective of
the third term movement, as Is now
acknowledged by tu lesders, wss to
give the president power to dictate
a Democratic nominee of new deal
type. It wss only when the war
broke out thst the third termers
began to hope they could put the
president himself in nomination, de
spite their previous talk for the rec
ord to the contrary.
And It was only this spring, when
tha war crisis became acuta, thst
they began to feel sure their hopes
would not be disappointed. The pres
ident hsd come more and more to
think, rightly or wrongly, that he
could not be certain of the election
of any other man who would carry
on. the policies he thought vital.
The fact of the president's being
tired, with Its inevitable accompany
ins; reluctance to carry on with a
killing Job, is one new element in
the situation. The other, and per
haps the more significant, Is the Re
publicans' nomlnstion of Wendell
Willkie. If they had chosen Senator
Robert A. Taft, committed aa he fin
ally wae to a sort of American ap
peasement program, tha president
would unquestionably have taken the
plunge.
But Willkie la quite & different
matter. Not only la he likely to prove
the kind of opponent no tired man
would want to face. He la also com
mitted to precisely the same pollclea
thought vital by the president. Aa
so many people sre Interested In so
many ways In the president's re
election, he will undoubtedly be
urged to "save the country from
Willkie" on grounds other than the
acuteneas of the world situation. The
foolish charge that Willkie la a sort
of pro to-fascist la already going ths
rounds. But now. despite the equally
foolish suggestion thst he will be a
quitter If he does not take W mile's
dare, the president may possibly de
cide that he haa had enough.
It must be sdded thst If he reaches
such a decision, enforcing his wishes
will be difficult, for the Democratic
convention will care far more for
victory than the third term Issue.
Ons of the wisest moderate conserv
ative Democrats said today, "He can
only get out of It on grounds of

ON the American front. Presi
dent Roosevelt announce!
this (Monday) morning that he
will Immediately submit to
congress a recommendation for
an excess profits tax.
If an excess profits tBX will
PREVENT EXCESS PROFITS,
it will be sound. We want no
abnormal profits in the present
emergency. Abnormal profits
arising out of war will merely
start costs spiraling upward,
thus upsetting the structure of
industrial efficiency. We need
all the efficiency we can get.
If the proposed excess profits
tax Is merely another PUN
ISHMENT TAX, we want none
of it.

My LUlle Girls.
My little girls are now big girls,
And stand before the glass.
To pin and then repin their
curls
And rearrange their dress.
There was a time, to tie theip
hair,
I bent to place the bow.
Now if 1 pin a flower there,
I have to stand tip-toe.
My little girls, when they were,
small.
Forever asked me "why?"
They know the answers, now
they're tall
j And" I'm Just standing by.
They learned to walk, and I
stood by.
To keep them from a fall.
It's now their wings they want
to try
I can advise, that s all.
And while they're trying out
their wines,
I pray with all mv might
That they hold fast the crecious
things.
Courage and honor bright.
Edna V. Chamberlain.
