said that unless the coal supply
is increased soon at least 25.000

Most of the other steel mills re

The magazine Iron Ago esti

Jesse V. Sullivan, secretary of

insurgent stevedores demand

representatives of the Ryan fac
tion who have urged the dock

blamed the union split on Harry
Bridges, west coast CIO long

Toothpick Not

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 17
(IP) The toothpick, long a

can bo fondled without getting
that down in the mouth feeling.
That is the opinion of Dr. Ed
ward L. Ball, Cincinnati, Ohio,
presented in an address at the
Oklahoma Dental, society con
vention here.
Toothpick ticklers are few in
this country because the practice
is frowned upon but in Europe
and South America, Ball pointed
out, the instrument comes into
its own at the finest of parties.
No table setting is complete
without this aid to dental hy
giene which is used discreetly,
he said.
