News Review of Current Events the World Over Prime Ministers of Three Nations Confer at Stresa—Presi- dent Roosevelt, Busy With Work Relief Program, Prods Congress. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ©, Western Newspaper Union. S IX of Europe's foremost statesmen, with experts and secretaries, sol- emnly considered peace plans and se- curity pacts on Isola Bella, a lovely little island In Lake Maggiore off Stresa. Italy. The conference was momentous, but It was of an \explora- tory\ nature, and no definite results were , expected. Prime Min I ister Ramsay MacDon aid and Foreign Sec- retary Sir John Simon, representing Great Britain, were willing to carry out that na- tion's military obliga- tions under the Locarno treaty but talked at further commitment in con- tinental affairs. Anyhow, they had promised to enter into no new agreements without the consent of parliament, which cannot be consulted until after the Easter holi- days. Premier Flandin and Foreign Minister Laval of France sought to per- suade England to line up with France and Russia rather than with Germany, and they presented as one argument a new mutual assistance pact they had just signed with Russia. Premier Mus- solini, solemn and pessimistic, handled matters for Italy with the help of Fulvio Suvich, undersecretary of for- eign affairs. He had already warned the world that the issue of war or peace probably could not be settled at Stresa. Of course, the chief question was the attitude of other nations toward the constantly growing Pan-Germanism of the reich under Hitler, and the first concrete problem taken up was France's appeal to the League of Na- tions against Germany's repudiation of the military clauses of the Versailles treaty. Mussolini and MacDonald were inclined to accept Hitler's rearmament if there could be an agreement against further military expansion, but Flan- •din stood In opposition. The Italians urged a three-power alliance for protec- tion against Germany, but England ob- jected and France was uncertain. AH three nations rather favored the re- armament of Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary, and the Danube pact which Italy especially has been promoting. M USSOLINI'S pessimistic frame of mind was illustrated by an an- nouncement In his newspaper, Popolo «J'Italia, that Italy would keep 600,000 men under arms \until the hori-on.is -well cleared, and give them all modern weapons.\ Both the Italians and the French are convinced that Germany is maliciously stirring up the troubles that confront them In northern Africa with the purpose of weakening their position in Europe. This matter was discussed privately by some of the participants in the Stresa meeting. T HE new mutual assistance agree- ment reached by France and Russia was at first supposed to be merely an agreement on sanctions to be taken against an aggressor once the latter has been determined by the League of Nations. But Paris correspondents as- sert that it Is In effect a military alli- ance such as Russia had been urging on France and that in certain cases the signatories will determine for them- selves who is the aggressor, without waiting for word from Geneva. The agreement is, of course, directed pri- marily against Germany. It Is believed in Paris that Russia will soon con- clude similar alliance with Czecho- slovakia and the Baltic states, thus •completing a steel ring around Ger- many's land frontiers. This agreement is still subject to alteration and final approval. That Russia still seeks M to maintain and strengthen the general peace\ was shown by the signing of a Russo-Ger- tnan trade treaty which It Is believed -will greatly increase the volume of Russia's i>rders in the reich. Under this accord the Soviet will increase purchases In Germany by 200,006,000 marks (about $80,000,000), a banking consortium headed by the Deutsche Bank and Discount Gesellschaft and the Dresdner bank to grant Import credits for an average term of five years. The credits will bear interest at the discount rate of the relchabank plus 2 per cent. The Russian trade delegation Is thereby enabled to pay cash for orders placed with German firms. A NNOUNOEMENT was made by the xl government that it had uncovered extensive frauds In the Immigration and naturalization service from 192S to 1033, and steps were taken for the ousting of a number of employees and for criminal prosecutions. It was es- timated that a ring of bribe takers and flxors hnd received as much as a mil- lion dollars from persons illegally en* tering trie country. 'itevelations so startling in character hnve come to light that Investigators believe the actual extent of corruption and frnud has been but partially dis- closed,\ said a statement issued by the |,itl>«r department after a secret Inves- tigation of alleged frauds la the New York district \Sums ranging up to $100 are alleged to have been paid in cases Involving false witnesses or passing of an appli- cant who bad failed in his test of knowledge of the government or his ability to speak English. \It Is alleged that fees ranging from $300 to $1,200 were levied in cases In- volving fraudulent or altered manifest records, where It was desirable to ob-_ tain a 1 record that would safeguard an alien from deportation or procure citi- zenship statas by showing his legal ad- mission at the port of New York for permanent residence.\ N EW dust storms, the worst of the destructive series, swept over Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas, completing the vir- tual ruin of the wheat crop and caus- ing great losses and suffering among live stock. Schools and shops were closed, airplanes grounded and train and bus schedules disrupted. Some regions were being abandoned by all Inhabitants. A delegation of senators and repre- sentatives from four of the stricken states called on President Roosevelt and asked him to earmark $150,000,- 000 for a land program foe the next two years. He did not indicate what amount would be allocated, but was said by the delegation to have given assurance that he would permit the expenditure of all the money that was P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT, deeply tanned and In good physical con- dition, was landed at Jacksonville, Fla., by the destroyer Farragut and started Immediately for New York, to attend the funeral of his cousin, Warren Delano Rob- bins, after which he returned to Washing- ton. Aboard his spe- cial train the Presi- dent read through the $4,880,000,000 work re- lief bill as it was -final- Harry Hopkm. , y pagsed b y b( houses of congress, called for pen and ink and appended his signature to the largest appropriation iipajure ever enacted by congress. Tli»*r«[were some features of it, agreed upon m the sen- ate and house conference, which he did not like, but he said those who had studied it recommended its approval. The President at once signed two al- locations from the amount appropri ated. The first was $125,000,000 to the administrator of th& Federal Emer- gency Relief administratoin, In order that relief might not stop. The sec- ond was $30,000,000 for continuation of the emergency conservation work. In Washington the Republicans and some others discussed with dissatisfac- tion the probability that Harry L. Hop- kins, relief administrator, would be the President's chief assistant in carrying out the vast work relief program. \It is extremely fortunate for Mr. Hopkins that, If he Is going to be the lord high distributor of the money, the bill is so drawn that he wont have to be confirmed by the senate,\ said Sen- ator Vandenberg of Michigan. Representative Snell of New York, the Republican leader in the house, de- clared it was \a sad commentary that a man like Hopkins,\ who had termed critics of work-relief methods M d—n dumb,\ should \appear to be In line to be clothed with extraordinary grants of power over the greatest sum of money ever appropriated.\ TN HIS first post-vacation confer- *• ence with congressional leaders, President Roosevelt disregarded their fears of a prolonged session and in- sisted on enactment of his legislative program. ^Especially he wants legisla- tion dealing with extension of the NRA, social security, utilities holding companies, extension of federal au- thority over banking, ship subsidy re- adjustment and extension of, $416, 000,000 in nuisance taxes. Later the President conferred with Senator Joe Robinson, who said botb of them felt that very 'satisfactory progress is being made. To the cor- respondent Mr. Roosevelt said* he hoped to have the work relief program its peak by the middle of November, at which time 8,500,000 unemployed should be at work under Its terms. He Indicated this program would be carried out as far as possible by ex- isting governmental agencies. He will seek to avoid moving workers from one area to another, and will taki care of as many \white collar\ work- ers as possible. The social security bill finally was produced on the floor of the house of representatives. There were several blocs against It in its form as re- ported. These included representa- tives who want higher unemployment and old age payments; members from the poorer states, who want the fed- eral government to bear the entire cost of the program, with the states re- lieved ofvany contribution, and the conservatives, who are opposed ro the \government going Into the Insurance business\ and exacting a pay roll tax during the depression. Paul Goebbels pi EN HERMANN WTLHBLM GO3- vJ RING, the dynamic premier of Prussia and aii minister of Germany, and Emmy Sonnetnann, thirty-seven- year-old actress, were married In Ber- lin, first in the city hall and then ID the evangelical cathedral, with Relchs- fuehrer Hitler acting as groonvsman In both ceremonies. It was a most spec- tacular wedding, with many famous Germans and a grand opera chorus In* attendance, a triumphal procession through the crowded streets and a display of the Nazi air force. QCIALISTS and Catholics of Dan- zig combined to give Chancellor Hitler of Germany his first big set- back. \D the free city's parliamentary •••-::;;?a e 1 e c t'i o n the Nazis polled .60.6 per cent of the total vote, but failed to get the two- thirds majority of the seats that would give them complete con- trol of parliament Hitler and his follow- ers had hoped Dan- zig would follow the lead of the Saar and return to the reich, and this may yet be the result, for the population of the city is more than 90 per cent German. But the Nazis were defeated In their at- tempt to lay the groundwork for the suppression of all other political par- ties and the establishment of a dicta- torship. Presumably their next step will be to vote for a change in the Free City's constitution and to ask the League of Nations, which admin- isters the city through a commissioner, to permit a plebiscite on return to the reich. This was openly discussed by Paul Joseph Goebbels, German propa- ganda minister, during the hot cam- paign in Danzig carried on by the Nazis. Poland was enraged by the violent methods of the Hitlerites In the campaign and demanded an apol- ogy from Berlin. The whole affair endangered the new friendship between Poland and Germany, and probably this was not mourned by the other nations of Europe. W ITH the rubber workers in the tire plants of Akron, Ohio, ready to quit their jobs, the American Feder- ation of Labor pledged itself to finance the strike, which President Green de- clared would be a crucial attempt by organized labor to force on industry the collective bargaining provisions of the NRA. He announced his organi- zation would \support the rubber work- ers of Akron for as long a time as may be necessary.\ Green definitely marked out the tire strike as a test of labor's ability to make good on the promises held ont to it by the New DeaL The national labor relations board, he pointed out, had ordered the big tire companies, Goodyear, Goodrich, and Firestone, to allow their workers to elect represent- atives for collective bargaining. The companies have refused and labor now takes into its own hands the enforce- ment of the NLRB decision, Green ar- gued. Tire manufacturers, on the other side, recognize the threatened strike as a key move In the New Deal pro- gram for regimentation of tebor and industry and are fighting back. Fire- stone expected to go before the District of Columbia Supreme court and ask a permanent Injunction against the i*LRB and NRA meddling in its labor situation. P OSTMASTER GENERAL JAMES A. FARLEY went to New York to study the political and legislative sit- uation there, and It was declared by local Democratic lead- ers that he would* re- tire from the cabinet soon after the ad- journment of congress. Mr. Farley neither af- firmed nor denied the story. He has been bitterly attacked for retaining his cabinet post and at the same time con- tinuing as chairman of the Democratic na- tional committee and of the New York Democratic commit- tee, despite the edict of the President against such double holding; Mr. Roosevelt wants Mr; Farley to remain head of the national 1 committee and' to conduct his campaign for re-election, so be wifl give up his post office job but he did not wish to resign while still under fire from Huey Long and others. O UR minister to Canada, Warren Delano Kobblns, succumbed pneumonia in a New York hospital aft- er a week's illness. He was a firsi cousin of President.Roosevelt and had been In the diplomatic service for more than 25 years, being one of the most distinguished of the \career\ men. Adolph S. Ochs, veteran owner and publisher of the New York Times, was stricken with cerebral hemorrhage while visiting old friends In Chatta- nooga, Tenn., and died without regain- ing consciousness. He was seventy- seven years old and had been in poor health for some time. Another notable man taken by death was Edwin Arlington Robinson, gen- erally considered the foremost Ameri- can poet He won the Pulitzer prize for poetry In 1822, 1926 and 1928. A NNOUNCEMENT was made by the State department that the United States has accepted In general terms the proposal of Argentina and Chile for co-operative efforts to end the Bolivia-Paraguay war in the Gran Chaco. It was expected Brazil, which had been consulted, would join In the plan. Just what will be done has noi been determined. New U. S. Destroyer Makes Test Run 1—U. S. S.

Latest Craft Last Word in Efficiency Although the United States is de- termined to keep out of any disputes that may be brewing in Europe, the Navy department is not going to be caught unprepared in case trouble should be forced on us. The newest sensation of the fleet, the destroyer Worden, shown above, is considered the last word in efficiency. She has been sent on her test cruise from the Puget Sound navy yard to the At- lantic coast. The Worden Is the first of its type to be built. It is speedier than other vessels of this class, and is equipped with guns and other fighting equip- ment of the newest design. Naval expansion will proceed rap- idly under present plans. The PWA has allotted $278,000,000 for new war- shfps, and in addition to this the navy's budget has been increased to more than half a billion dollars. HE INVENTED IT When the National Basketball Coaches' association held its annual convention in Chicago, the most dis- tinguished man present was Dr. James Naismith of the University of Kansas, for it was he who invented the game. Mr. Garner Meets a Lord Mayor Vice President \John M. Garner is here seen with a distinguished visito: from overseas who stepped into the Capitol at Washington to chat with th< gentleman from Uvalde. He is Rt Hon. Alderman Alfred Byrne, lord mayo of Dublin, Irish Free State. That the lord mayor 4s not suffer-* ing from an overdose of dignity was evidenced when he aririved in this country and was questioned by report- ers as to how one in his position should be addressed. He rather as- tonished news hawks by telling them: \\Just call me Alfie!\ Bible Well Read Allentown, Pa.—Mrs. Tillie S.

It was owned by Anne Boleyn, whom Henry Vm mar- ried in 1553 and beheaded three years later. FULL OF MISCHIEF Dental Hygiene The Road to Health By! DR. R. ALLEN GRIFFITH HOW TEETH INFECT TK2 SYSTEM T17ITH the exception of venereal dis- V \ ease, every disease, every germ that enters the human system must enter through the mouth, nose or a break In the skin. The mouth is the most extensive breeding place for germs. Before any disease can gain a foothold the human system. It must have place of Incubation and a period of Incubation and that place Is the un- clean mouth. 'Where are the pneumococcus, the tu- bercle bacillus, the virus of scarlet fever, measles, croup, etc., most f r©^ quently found? In the unclean human mouth. We are not astonished \vhea we find millions of chains of the six varieties of streptococci and million-* of pneumococcl In the average moutli and these are among the dangerous dis- ease germs. AH of these micro-or- ganisms are absorbed from space. 1 * around and between the teeth Into tb» mucous membrane of the mouth arflt into the tonsils. They are swallowed into the stomach and dtawn. into the lungs. Constant and persistent doses of micro-organisms and their toxins ultimately break down the resistance of the healthy human organism. The germs found in diseased teeth and septic mouths are swept into the stomach with solid and liquid food an«i infected saliva. While many of tber* are destroyed, many of them pass ipto the intestines where they set up putre- faction and manufacture toxins and food poisons. These have a special predilection for nerve cells. The absorption of micro-organisms and their toxins into the circulation is responsible for rheumatism, arth- ritis and endocarditis. The micro-or- ganisms are carried by the blood stream to the joints and heart where they produce these destructive diseases. This has been proven by injecting into guinea pigs cultures made from the mouths of persons so infected, the same diseases being produced in the guinea pigs. Also, treatment of the mouth has caused an improvement or cure of the diseased conditions. Without treatment of the mouth, the cure of many of these diseases by sys- tematic treatment otherwise has failed and will continue to fail \At the Century of Progress in Chi- cago in the dental exhibit was shown the fossil jaw of a mammoth which contained a dental abscess that wonl« \ hold three and one-half quarts of pas. Who knows but what this dental ab- scess may have caused the death of even this immense prehistoric animal? • • • THE FIRST PERMANENT TOOTH Princ«ss Josephine Charlotte, only daughter of the king and queen of the Belgians, snapped as she was on her way to the public school she attends in Brussels. The seven-and-a-half-year- old girl is said by her teacher to be the most mischievous member of her class. Find Rare Albino Frog This albino frog, said to be a greater rarity than qaiatuplets. Is being raised at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. It was found on a farm In St. Lawrence county. New York, and sent to Dr. G. Kings- ley Noble, curator of herpetology and head of the department of experi- mental biology at the museum. Th»- frog's color Is saffron Instead of green, and Us large bulging eyes are pink, Ii Is being nursed with the greatest care by the museum officials. T HE first permanent tooth comes into the mouth between the sixth and seventh years. It £omes in just back of the baby teeth and is fre- quently mistaken for a baby tooth because it does not replace another tooth. It is called the six-year molar, and is the largest and most impor- tant tooth in the dental arch. The six year molar is of the great- est concern to dentists. Most dentists are familiar with the troublesome na- ture of the tooth. It drives more chil- dren to the dentist than all other teeth combined. ' If we are to do the most for chil- dren we must save the six-year mo- lars. When the six year molars are extracted the dental arch is robbed of its support. It soon collapses. The teeth in front of it fall backward and a space appears between the front teeth. The beautiful, symmetrical curve of the face is lost, and nothing can restore it The six-year molars are particularly- valuable because they do most of th.> chewing for a period of five year?. These four teeth take their places when the child Is six years of asr«». the upper biting squarely upon th<* lower. There are no teeth back of them uptil the child is twelve years of age, when the* second molars come In. In front of them are the baby molan which are small and frail and are not made for chewing heavy food. If the baby molars are lost or decayed thoy cannot assist the six-year molars in chewing food. Thus, for five years, the four six-year molars are compelled to chew all the food that goes to nour- ish the rapidly developing child. The six-year molars also act as a prop to> hold the jaws apart while the other permanent teeth are coming In. The pressure of the jaws falls upon these- four teeth until the other back teeth .come In between the ages of ten and twelve, and In case one or two of these first permanent teeth are lost, the jaws are not held open the correct distance and the Jaws closfe anoD the? other teeth that are only part way In, forcing them out of line and prevew- Ing them from coming entirely In. The only proper way to care for your children's teeth Is to place the child in the care of a dentist at three years of age. He will keep the child's teeth free from decay If the visits are made at frequent intervals. He will fill small cavities as soon as they ap- pear, and keep the teeth free from stains and tartar. He will tell you bow to keep the mouth In a clean, healthy condition, and if this rule la followed the permanent teeth will some in in a clean, health; mouth free from decay.
