Human Teeth — Thirty-two Beautiful and Valuable Gems

WHEN Jehovah God created man He gave him a set of beautifully polished and carefully graduated precious stones of unexcelled craftsmanship. Just what that original set of teeth was like, or whether there have been any quite as beautiful since (except a similar set given to Eve), we cannot know. But it is agreed that a good set of teeth is something to be very highly esteemed. It is the teeth that make or mar the beauty of the human face, not to speak of the practical advantage of having a good set of grinders to prepare the food sent down to our stomachs for further attention.

AU vertebrates have teeth of some sort, and a study of the curiously varied kinds of teeth with which animals are equipped would be most interesting, as well as exhausting. So no attempt will be made to tell about the 250-pound tooth of the mammoth, which sometimes attained a length of fifteen feet. Men do not have to worry about the possibility of meeting those creatures in their travels; for, as far as can be ascertained, they all disappeared from the earth before the time when the first man noticed his flashing teeth as he smiled at his reflection in the clear waters of a still pool in Paradise.

Nor wiU an attempt be made in this article to make more than passing mention of the long tooth which the elephant delights to sport and which is made of the most beautifully textured material, both hard and tough and elastic. It is safe to say that the elephant’s teeth, or tusks, have the greatest commercial value—after the elephant loses them—of any teeth that are known. This article will confine itself to the teeth which are of the greatest importance to each individual human creature, his own.

The number of teeth, and the different sort, in each half jaw, is the same. That is, the mouth of the human creature contains 4 times 2+1+2+3 teeth at maturity, if he has and keeps all his teeth. But why not just say 32? Because these teeth are not by any means all the same. There are four different kinds. On each side of the dividing line in the middle there are two incisors in both the upper and lower jaws, making eight incisors in all. Note how the word “incisors” reminds one of scissors. Both of these words are derived from Latin terms meaning “to cut”. That is the function of the eight front teeth: to cut into the food to be eaten. These teeth have single roots and chisel-like crowns.

Next to the incisors are the canines. These teeth are prominent in the dog’s mouth; hence the use of the word “canine”, in designating them. They are sometimes called “eyeteeth”, and are useful for tearing tough and fibrous foods, being more or less pointed. They are single-rooted.

Beyond the canines, on either side, above and below, are two teeth called the pre-molars; and still farther back, the molars, three in number, including the wisdom tooth. The reason why this tooth is so named is that it usually does not make its appearance until one has attained maturity and, inferentially but not necessarily, wisdom. The pre-molars are also called bicuspids, because they have two points on the crown. The molars have two or three roots. Both the pre-molars and molars have broad crowns suitable for grinding. This is suggested by the name “molar”, from the Latin molaris, “pertaining to a mill.”

The Deciduous Teeth

Babies are, as a rule, born toothless. The beginnings of the teeth, however, are already present in the gums, having begun to form six months before the birth of the child. As to whether the baby shall have good teeth depends in great measure upon the kind of food the mother eats. If her food has been deficient in lime, phosphorus and magnesium the child’s teeth will be imperfectly formed, and liable to early decay.

Regularly arranged teeth, perfectly calcified, are practically certain if the mother’s diet contains the proper elements. Mothers often find their own teeth suffer greatly as a result of a confinement. The material required for the bones and teeth of the unborn child, absent in the commercialized foods used so extensively, are taken from the modern mother’s body and particularly the teeth, leaving them soft and subject to decay.

The time when a baby’s teeth begin to “erupt” or come through is usually from five to eight months after birth. Sometimes they appear sooner. The order in which they appear is, as a rule, as follows: The two front teeth, upper and lower, erupt first, then those on either side, making eight incisors. Then follow the first pre-molars, or temporary molars, after which the canines, or “eyeteeth”, as they are sometimes called, come in between the first molars and the incisors. These come in about the eighteenth month. Last of all the second pre-molars erupt, about the beginning of the third year. About the end of the first year the child should have twelve teeth. The complete set of temporary teeth consists of eight incisors, four canines and four pre-molars, twenty in all. The permanent molars do not make their appearance until later, the first appearing about the sixth year, hence the name “six-year molar”.

The first set of teeth is called “deciduous”, which means that they will be “shed” or fall out at a later date, to be replaced by another set. If the baby does the regular thing, it will have the front teeth come out first, the central incisors. It is more important in some countries than in others to have the teeth come up in the right order. Among the Basutos in East Africa a baby born with one or more teeth is put to death, the midwife and “mayor” making sure that this is done. Any baby so indiscreet as not to have the front teeth come in first is also put to death. A few mothers, however, have the courage and independence to resist this savage custom.

In ancient Rome a child born with one or more teeth was considered to be marked with distinction. Some were surnamed “Dentatus” because of being so born.

Sometimes a precocious child has a complete set of teeth before it is much over a year old. Take Marjorie Lea Prior, of Delano, Calif., for instance. She had her whole set of teeth when she was but fifteen months old, and obligingly opened her mouth wide for the man who took her picture for the paper.

The Permanent Teeth

The permanent teeth begin to come in before-the temporary ones are shed. The care of the temporary teeth is important, because they affect the growth and spacing of the second set. If you do not want your child to have crooked or irregular teeth when it grows up, take care of the first set, by keeping them clean and especially by seeing that the diet contains the kind of foods that will keep them healthy. Information about the development and care of the teeth is disseminated by most prenatal and childhealth conferences in the United States, which operate under the Maternity and Infancy Act. The diet of the mother during nursing is quite as important as the diet of the child later, if not more so; for during that period the little body is being furnished with the elements from which the teeth get their beginning. During this period bad teeth in the mother also affect the health of the child.

Even while the first or temporary teeth are being formed the permanent teeth are in process of development, built of the same elements and constituting, in a way, a continuation of the first. Bone- and tooth-building elements, lime, phosphorus, magnesium, are found in such foods as leafy vegetables, milk, butter, eggs, whole-wheat bread, coarse cereals and fruit. Sunshine, open-air play, fresh air at night and cleanliness are also important factors in the child’s health and the proper development of the teeth. Lack of milk in the diet is often the cause of poor teeth. Milk contains a large amount of calcium.

Of the 45,000,000 children in the United States 95 percent have trouble with their teeth in some way or other. Nations where there is far less attention paid to the care of the teeth have much better “dentition”. This does not mean that care of the teeth is the cause of poor teeth. Rather, the cause lies in the refined foods which are so freely eaten in the United States, whereas in poorer countries the children are obliged to eat courser and more natural foods, and have better teeth as a result. Cleanliness is a desirable, but a secondary factor in the preservation of the teeth, whether temporary or permanent.

The Most Important Tooth

The most important tooth of all is the "six-year molar”, of which there is one on each side of both the upper and lower jaws. But, sad to say, these teeth are also, for some reason, the most susceptible to decay, owing to an improper diet. These six-year molars are the first of the permanent molars.

The manner and order in which the teeth are "built” and "compacted together” reveals the most marvelous technical and engineering skill and is a tribute to the great Creator and Preserver of all things. All His works praise Him, and this includes the teeth as well as other parts of the wonderfully complex and harmonious human organism. A feature which is of particular interest in this connection is the fact that the first permanent molars appear before any of the temporary teeth are lost. These four “cornerstones” or “key-stones” of the mouth, two above and two below, lock together in such a way that when the jaws are closed the lower jaw is held firmly in place. Hence, all the rest of the permanent teeth are aided in assuming and holding their proper place. Carefully, without haste, one tooth after another drops away and new teeth take their places. There is a divine order and deliberation about the whole process that evokes the admiration and praise of those who ‘seek out the works of the Lord and have pleasure therein’.—Psalm 111: 2.

Because of the early appearance of the first molar parents sometimes think it is a late temporary tooth. The mistaken notion that temporary teeth are not important often leads to neglect of these very important teeth. Children should have been taught to use the toothbrush long before this, and if natural foods are provided and manufactured sweets are sedulously avoided the teeth are fairly safe. What, with the great variety of natural “sweets”, is the excuse for feeding children cakes, frosted, iced or glazed, and candies, creams, caramels and the endless variety of human inventions which are injurious to the health and the teeth.

Inorganic medicines or drugs also play havoc with the teeth and are most objectionable. God has provided herbs for the service of man.— Psalm 104:14.

An Apple a Day

While an apple a day should not be depended upon to keep the doctor away, it is an excellent tooth-cleanser. Turnips, carrots and similar foods, are also of value, and taste best when eaten just as they are. Made into salads they lose much of their freshness in a short time. It seems that something is wrong when men (and women) think it is necessary to improve upon the food the Creator has provided, by dressing it, fixing it or mixing it. It is true that certain foods seem to require cooking and baking to make them more easily assimilable. It is equally certain that the “cooking art” has been carried to an unwarranted extreme and, rather than improving them, in most instances has destroyed food values.

It is because they do not get body-building and tooth-building foods that sixty percent of the children in the United States have infected six-year molars. That means that before the age of fourteen years most children in this country are already beginning to lose the most important teeth in their mouths. Conscientious dentists can do something to repair the damage, but a filled tooth is a source of danger in other directions and an extracted tooth paves the way for crooked teeth and in some instances crooked mouths.

It is to the credit of the dental profession that many of its members are stressing the importance of the proper preventive measures, especially the eating of proper foods. While this may seem to be working against their own interests, it is fairly safe to say that there will be plenty of work for dentists for some time to come. A sincere concern for the welfare of the people will bring them rewards of a more enduring quality than mere filthy lucre.

Perfect Teeth Rare

According to the National Dental Technicians there are only twenty sets of perfect natural teeth among the people of the United States. This is no doubt setting a very high standard of perfection. Bringing down the standard a little it can be said that about 5,000 persons in this country have teeth that are in a perfect state of health.

Among Tibetan tribes tooth decay is rare. Their diet is not one of great variety, and whole corn is an important part of it, supplying the phosphorus needed for the teeth. Life in the sunshine and open air supplies the mysterious Vitamin “D”, also essential to good teeth.

The possession of a perfect set of teeth is considered by the Chinese as absolutely necessary to good looks in man or woman. No one would be disposed to gainsay them, especially in view of the fact that few Chinese can afford to have teeth replaced once they are lost.

Indians of Old Mexico generally have good teeth. They eat hard corn and cakes equally hard made of coarse corn meal. These cakes are called “tortillas”, and are baked flat on hot iron plates. These are the substitute for bread among these Mexican Indians, who can erack practically any soft-shelled nut with their teeth.

The Eskimos^ while leading a nomadic life, and eating meat the greater part of the year, have good teeth. Decay follows the introduction of the white man’s food.

On the lonely isle of Tristan de Cunha, in the South Atlantic ocean, the inhabitants, of whom there are no more than 156, live on a very limited but simple diet. There is no overeating among them. Of the 156,131 had perfect sets of teeth! Compare that with the record of the United States, and then consider that the inhabitants of this isle never use a toothbrush and, in fact, never think of trying to clean their teeth at all!

“Like Pulling Teeth”

The expression “like pulling teeth” indicates that such an operation is exceedingly unpleasant. The loss of teeth is a surgical calamity. While the pulling of teeth is universally dreaded, it is nevertheless thought of as a minor operation. It is a more serious operation than most people realize. Tooth extraction, especially when it involves several teeth, is really a major operation and should, according to some dentists, be done in a hospital or at the patient’s home, so that a period of rest and convalescence may immediately follow. Sanitary measures following the extraction are also important. If all the teeth are pulled a temporary set should be provided as soon as possible, so that no digestive and nutritional difficulties may result from lack of the proper foods or proper mastication.

For a long time pulling the teeth was about the only remedy thought of for an aching tooth. Then came the conviction that teeth are a most valuable part of the human organism, and every effort was made to preserve them. Individuals who formerly spent 50 cents to have a tooth out would, upon proper presentation of the matter by the dentist, spend 50 dollars to keep a tooth in. It is but human that many of the dentists, though not all, were inspired by other considerations than the desire to preserve the teeth of their patients. The theory, however, was a plausible one.

Then came the discovery that preserved teeth were as objectionable as most preserved foods. The nerve had been killed and the tooth properly repaired, but somehow that did not end the difficulty. Either the tooth kept on decaying openly and boldly or did so under cover. The undercover decay was the most reprehensible, like most things done under cover. The decaying roots discharged their poisons into the blood stream and brought about aches and pains of various sorts. At least that was the opinion of many dentists and doctors, and these opinions seem not to have been without foundation. The amount of poison discharged was, it was admitted, very small; but it was also very potent. And it still is. As the process of decay continues day after day, week after week, and year after year, the cumulative effect is likely to be noticeable, depending in degree upon the ability of the individual to resist and throw off the poisons thus produced. It is thought that bad teeth may bring about cancer, rheumatism, ulcers and other disagreeable results.

Again, there are those who think it likely that the same causes which bring about cancer, rheumatism, arthritis, etc., produce the decayed teeth. From this standpoint the bad teeth are just another victim of bad eating and other unhealthy practices.

Worse and Worse

It is an admitted fact that dental deterioration is becoming worse with each generation. This is not surprising when we consider that the race has six thousand years of gradual decline back of it. Besides, today most foods are adulterated by preservatives or refining agents, or poisoned by aluminum utensils as they are being prepared in homes or in canneries. The Devil’s world is in a bad way and those who seek safety and health see the importance of getting back to nature’s way of doing things, which is generally the simplest way.

Dr. Charles F. Bodecker, of Columbia University, a few years ago advanced the idea that teeth may be either healthy or diseased depending upon internal conditions, and that their susceptibility to decay is not primarily determined by what happens on the outside, but by what happens inside of the tooth. It is the diseased and weakened tooth that is subject to decay.

Dr. L. Norman Broomell, of Temple University, says, “Statistics show that nine-tenths of all systemic diseases for which the mouth is held accountable are directly traceable to pulpless teeth—teeth from which the nerve has been extracted.”

Modern Living, however, says that the removal of the offending teeth seldom does any great permanent good. That it does a considerable amount of good is admitted. This good can be made permanent by proper eating. The surest way to preserve the teeth, however, is to promote the general health and purify the blood. It is the blood that must build the teeth as well as other parts of the body.

The teeth are not proof against all kinds of abuses. When one works where vapors of bromine and iodine are inhaled the teeth will be discolored. Hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acids have a very destructive influence upon the teeth.

The teeth of those who play wind instruments are badly worn, as are also the teeth of glassblowers. Metal objects held in the mouth may damage the teeth. Biting off thread continually will produce crevices in the teeth. Carpetmakers, shoemakers, tailors, and others damage their teeth by using the mouth and the teeth in a way not intended.

Pyorrhea: Its Prevention

Pyorrhea is a disease of the gums in which there is inflammation and often pus at the point where the teeth meet the gums. This condition may extend to the depression between the roots of the teeth and the gum, and in some cases there is a noticeable loosening of the teeth. Pyorrhea is a result of civilization, of denatured and devitalized (or devilized) foods. It is due especially to a lack of the vitamins that are found in fresh vegetables and fruits.

The early stages of this disease show a slight reddishness of the gums near the margin of the teeth. It may be very slight, but is a danger signal. The gums may be somewhat swollen and spongy to the touch between the teeth. Sometimes pressure draws a little blood or a trace of pus.

Pyorrhea is prevented by seeing to it that there is a goodly quantity of fruits and vegetables eaten, as much of it in the raw state as possible. To cure pyorrhea that has gotten a decided start it is necessary to eliminate from the diet for a time all flour and starch foods, including puddings, tapioca, sago, rice, etc. Canned and preserved foods should be omitted. If the teeth are loose unsweetened lemonade or lemonade sweetened with a little honey, fresh orange and grapefruit juice and pulped fruits of all kinds are of value. Fresh eggs are also beneficial. After a cure has been effected care should be taken to thereafter follow a balanced diet.

Essential Foods

Fruits, green vegetables and milk are called the “protective foods” and keep the teeth well-nourished. It is the refined foods that play havoc with the teeth. Polished rice, white flour, white sugar, candies, cakes, pastries and other inventions are of no good to anybody. Cabbage, Brussels sprouts and spinach are valuable toothbuilders, containing the lime salts which form the basis of the tooth enamel. Sea foods are also good.

Sodium, calcium and fluorine are the three elements of which the teeth are principally composed. They must be taken in the form of food to be of use to the organism. The body does not assimilate inorganic elements or minerals. Sodium is found in asparagus, almonds, cucumbers, carrots, celery, dates, figs, gooseberries, cocoanuts, lettuce, raw egg yolk, milk, goat’s milk, okra, prunes, radishes, spinach, strawberries, turnips, sweet apples, and string beans.

Spinach, asparagus, cauliflower, cabbage, saurkraut, lettuce, sorrel, lentils, peas, beans, radishes, gooseberries, cranberries, prunes, currants, peaches, grapes, rhubarb, bran, whole wheat, milk, buttermilk, cheese and raw egg yolk contain calcium.

Fluorine is present in the foregoing foods in sufficient measure to supply the needs of the teeth, and by including some of both kinds in the diet the teeth will be fortified against the agencies of decay. Phosphorus has already been mentioned as a necessary element in the diet. It is found in egg yolk and milk. Milk also contains the necessary calcium.

It is not necessary that a wide variety of foods be eaten to prevent tooth decay. Not only will natural and raw foods preserve the teeth, but by the eating of such foods decay has in a number of cases been stopped and cavities “filled” or healed after decay had begun. One dentist undertook to prescribe a diet for his patients who had cavities in their teeth. Of 675 eases over which he maintained supervision he found that an average of four cavities appeared in the teeth over a period of six months. After six months of proper diet there were in the group only five cavities where, ordinarily, 2,700 cavities might have been expected. The addition of Vitamin D to the diet will stop decay. Vitamins A and D, both necessary to the properly developed tooth, are found in egg yolk, cod-liver oil, fish and meat fats.

In Minonk, Illinois, more than a third of the children have mottled teeth. This peculiarity has been traced to the city well, dug in 1893. The water has a salty taste, but is liked w^Then one gets used to it; The teeth of these children have different shades of gray mixed with spots of white, but decay is somewhat less frequent than in the teeth that are not mottled. Incidentally, the water has a peculiar effect on aluminum, which cannot be used in Minonk— and should not be used anywhere for cooking purposes.

Your Friend, the Dentist

The conscientious dentist is your friend, believe it or not. That is, provided you are in need of his services. The dental profession has made great forward strides in the last hundred years. Not that dentistry is of recent origin. The ancient Egyptians, as early as 3000 B.C. (that is very approximate), are supposed to have done dental work. Dentistry was also practiced among the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans. Mummies have been found with wooden plugs in their teeth. Ivory plugs were also used. Petronius, in the time of Nero, is credited with having introduced the innovation of gold fillings.

The Zapotec Indians of Mexico did some excellent dental work with hematite, gold and other metals a thousand years ago. Their dental inlay work was done solely for decoration, it seems. While it was being done the subject was given an anesthetic made of a wild mushroom. Peyote and marihuana were also used.

In the Middle Ages and even as late as the eighteenth century dentistry consisted chiefly of extractions. Most people attended to this job themselves. One William Byrd describes an operation of this kind under date of October 9, 1733, as follows:

I caused a twine to be fastened round the root of my tooth, about a fathom in length, and then tied the other end to the snag of a log that lay upon the ground, in such a manner that I could just stand upright. Having adjusted my string in this manner, I bent my knees enough to enable me to spring vigorously off the ground, as perpendicularly as I could. The force of the leap drew out the tooth with so much ease that I felt nothing of it, nor should have believed it was come away, unless I had seen it dangling at the end of the string. An under tooth may be fetched out by standing off the ground and fastening your string at due distance above you. And having so fixed your gear, jump off your standing, and the weight of your body, added to the force of the spring, will prize out your tooth with less pain than any operator upon earth could draw.

Transplanting Teeth

Before the time of the French Revolution the transplanting of teeth was in vogue. Poor people could sell their teeth to be transplanted into the mouth of the rich, who could afford to pay for the operation. Foolish and “romantic” couples would not infrequently submit to an exchange! “A tooth for a tooth.” Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette are credited (?) with having exchanged a tooth each. At the time of the American Revolution a Philadelphia dentist specialized in transplanting teeth.

The first dental college in the world was opened in Baltimore in 1840. It was about that time that preventive dentistry began. Extraction was the main thing and about the only thing that was done with an aching tooth before that time. But now the objective was to keep the teeth in or to supply some suitable substitute in the way of crowns and bridges. Teeth were filled, crowned and otherwise tinkered with, the nerve having first been removed and the cavity filled with cement or other filler. Then it was discovered that these dead teeth were the cause of many diseases, and numerous dentists advised the extraction of teeth that could not be filled without killing the nerve, platework being supplied to fill the empty spaces. Anemia, rheumatism, tuberculosis and some heart diseases were attributed to infected teeth. And now dentists are beginning to talk about diet as a means of preventing tooth decay, which shows that some of them have brains and use them.

The dental profession has grown to great proportions, especially in the United States. A recent survey revealed that out of $35,000,000 spent for dental supplies in one year, $11,765,132 was expended for dental gold. Dental gold is mixed with alloys of various kinds, such as silver, copper and amalgams. Platinum combined with gold is used sparingly.

Drill Your Own Teeth

Dentists consider themselves custodians of masticating equipment that must grind up several billion dollars’ worth of food every year. It is their business to grind the grinders. There are about 50,000 dentists in the United States. A full dentist’s kit contains 6,000 instruments. American dentistry is the best in the world because until recently most Americans could afford to spend money on their teeth. Now that the bankers, ably assisted by politicians and clergy, have just about ruined the country, things are different, and a general decadence is noticeable, affecting the dental profession as well as everything else.

Some dentists contract to keep the teeth of certain of their patients in perfect condition for a specified sum. Knowing the teeth of these patients, they know how much work they are likely to require and how much the charge should be. The patients are required to visit the dentist three or four times a year for an examination and such attention as may be necessary. Decay does not, as a rule, progress very far in the space of three or four months.

A new idea in painless dentistry is to give the patient control of the drilling machine. He has his hand on a switch by means of which he can stop the drilling when he wishes. This keeps the nervous patient calm, or nearly so. As a rule the patient is more courageous when he can boss the job in this manner, though a good many would be strongly inclined to keep the thing turned off most of the time.

Dentists who have not yet installed the remote-control drilling system try to keep the minds of their patients occupied by a continued line of talk. At least some dentists have tried hypnotizing their patients. Whether they knew it or not, these men were calling in the aid of wicked spirits. Hypnotism is a trespass upon the will and mind of another and can be ascribed only to the Devil. No one has a right to control another in any such manner, regardless of the “benefit” in view.

Gas, which is supposed to put the patient to sleep, sometimes has a peculiar effect upon him.

On one occasion a patient to whom gas was being administered sprang up and struck the dentist and the attendant, overturned furniture and caused general havoc, breaking his leg as well. The advice of a physician before taking gas is a precaution often taken.

The Signorina and the Piltdown Man

Signorina Emilia Quaranta is a famous Italian woman dentist. She caters to kings, queens, princes and princesses and other blue-blooded or moneyed individuals.

Dr. James Leon Williams invented a system for the production of artificial teeth which is now accepted as standard. It is based on the theory that there are three kinds of teeth in all races of men. The doctor was a clever man. His foolish side was shown in his belief that the teeth found in the Piltdown skull, unearthed in England, belong to a man who lived “possibly a half a million years ago”. Humanity has lived on the earth only about 6,000 years. There is no proof whatever that they were here any longer than that.

Another “wise” professor thinks that the human race may be a toothless one in the future. He blames the dentists for this probable development, because they supply men with false teeth. He is afraid “nature” may lie down on the job of supplying human teeth; no doubt because she resents competition.

The Murry and Leonie Guggenheim Dental Clinic of New York examined 4,600 children in 1932 and found that 97| percent had an average of 9.7 cavities each.

Dr. S. T. Jonas, of Chicago, advertised his business by giving free dental service to poor children every Saturday morning. That was not a bad idea. It is mentioned here for the consideration of other dentists. The free service included fillings. No extractions were made unless absolutely necessary.

Parents of children in Union, New Jersey, complained because Civil Works Service dentists were too eager to pull the teeth of school children, and promiscuously extracted teeth without the permission of the pupils’ parents.

James Walsh, of Pittsburgh, unable to afford dental work for an aching tooth, confessed to a robbery which he had not committed, and got the work done by the prison dentist.

Dental surgery is frequently in demand after automobile and other accidents. Dr. R. H. Ivy, of Philadelphia, urges the provision of dental and oral surgeons in small hospitals as well as the larger ones.

Hard Water and Cod-Liver Oil

The neck of a tooth is called “cervix” by dentists, and the root, which used to be called a fang or prong, is now termed the “apex”. A “vault” is defined as “the longest palatal border obtainable through a coronal section of the maxilla”. Don’t ask The Golden Age to define the definition, however. Such terms as “inclination”, “anchorage,” “neutroclusion,” “distoclusion” and “mesioclusion” show that every trade has its trick names. Wouldn’t they make an interesting topic for conversation?

Soft water is considered unfavorable, and hard water favorable, to the development of good teeth. Cod-liver oil assists the body to use the lime in the diet for the building of the teeth. Calcification of the teeth is not complete until the twentieth year.

The toothbrush is not a recent invention. As long ago as 1700 B.C. the Indo-Europeans used a twig from a certain tree for cleaning the teeth and gums. The ancients, and especially the ancient orientals, seem to have had an aversion to making an effort to keep themselves clean, and so the mouth-cleaning operation was made a rite, which must be religiously observed at stated times, accompanied by “prayers”.

Though toothbrushes are cheap and easily obtainable everywhere, dental technicians tell us that only twenty percent of the people in the United States use them. Dr. Menzies Campbell says, “The toothbrush is merely an unnatural method of trying to right the wrongs of unnatural feeding.” However, he would not discourage the use of the brush altogether, especially since so many pasty and sugary foods are eaten. Instead of the slogan, “A clean tooth never decays,” up-to-date dentists offer, “A properly nourished and properly exercised tooth will not decay.”

Make Your Own Tooth Powder

Toothbrushes, tooth pastes, tooth powders, mouthwashes, etc., are made to sell. A little baking soda and salt makes an inexpensive and effective substitute for commercial tooth-cleansers. Or if you want something a little more like the commercial article, just get a quarter of a pound of prepared chalk at your druggist. It will last a long time.

A few drops of lemon juice on the brush is a splendid tooth-cleanser. Lemon juice is beneficial and whitening. Apples as tooth-cleansers have already been mentioned.

An unsterilized toothbrush that lies about here and there is not a very sanitary thing. A salt-water solution will sterilize it sufficiently. It should then be permitted to dry, and be kept in a place free from dust.

The Last Resort

The last resort, viewed from the dental angle, is a set of artificial teeth. It appears that primitive men, when they had lost all their teeth, would grind their food with a small mortar and pestle made of stone. Modern man uses artificial or store teeth.

Generally speaking, a person’s natural teeth are to be preferred to any substitute. Natural teeth cannot be swallowed or mislaid or stepped on. False teeth nearly always make facial changes that are not desirable. Sometimes a new set of teeth so changes a person’s appearance that his friends do not recognize him. That, however, may not be an unmixed evil. Sometimes, again, artificial teeth are a distinct improvement.

A woman of Phoenicia who lived about 300 B.C. had some nice dental work done, artificial teeth having been wired into the mouth in a rather clever way with gold wire. This was the first known use of false teeth. Her jaw is now on exhibition in the Louvre, Paris. Such is fame.

Dental plates made from wax molds of the mouth were first made about the time of the Revolutionary War. They were hinged or kept in place by springs. The vacuum method of keeping the upper plate where it belongs was invented A.D. 1800, by a Frenchman.

During 1926 the dental laboratories of the United States produced teeth to the value of $6,494,032. The total output of dental goods for that year was $42,695,252. Who says Americans don’t take care of their teeth ?

Some persons make their own artificial teeth. A Texas man carved himself a set from a steak bone. A man of Manchester, England, made himself an outfit from an old billiard ball, purchased for two shillings. A dancer who did not have very attractive teeth made jackets to cover them. She used pearl shell for the purpose, and as a result has unusually bright and flashing teeth—when on the stage.

A Klondike hunter, nicknamed Nimrod, having lost all his teeth, set about to make himself a set. From the various animals killed in his hunting trips he collected teeth which he matched, filed, shaped and arranged so that he had the desired number of incisors, canines and molars. Then he took an impression of his own mouth by means of spruce gum. He strung the sheep, wolf and bear teeth together with silver wire and imbedded them in rubber plates made from the remains of rubber boots, and has no further use for the dentist.

Paul Severance, of Montana, was under his car looking for trouble, and got it. A part of the engine fell, knocked out and broke his teeth. The insurance company refused to pay the damage, but the state board decided that the teeth, whether natural or artificial, are a part of a person’s anatomy, and that Severance was entitled to collect $35 insurance.

Not all materials used for making gums for artificial teeth look natural. A substance has now been found that has unusual strength, retains its form a long time, and has the color of the lining of the mouth.

Humanity has tried to make the best of its difficulties and to smile, even with false teeth, but the time is coming when God’s kingdom will bring to every obedient human creature full perfection, including teeth that for beauty and efficiency will rival those of Adam and Eve in Eden.

Two Helpless Idiots By

AT THE beginning of the nineteenth century a boy who was born from a drunken father inherited a mental weakness that required him to have a guardian all his life. He managed to raise two children who were also feeble-minded like their father. Fortunately, this boy on the day of his birth was given enough money by his grandfather to keep him and his children in good circumstances. In addition to this money, the grandfather gave him a million dollars, with the provision that his guardian was to keep it invested in 4-percent securities, and when the income was received it was to be invested in more 4-percent bonds and kept in the family.

When this baby was one year old his investment brought him $40,000. This feeble-minded infant had no earning ability; therefore the $40,000 was earned by 100 other persons who each had an earning capacity of $4,000 and who contributed $400, which was 10 percent of his income.

The guardian invested the $40,000 in more securities and when the baby was two years old his wealth was again increased, this time by $41,600, to which each of the 100 contributed a little more than $400. Each year the income from the investments was larger than it had been the year before, and when the boy was 18 years old he had $2,000,000 invested. That year each of the 100 contributors gave $800, which was 20 percent of his earnings. When he was 36 years old, his $4,000,000 investment required $1,600 from each of the 100 contributors.

David W. Kassens (Idaho)

When the millionaire was 54 years old he died and left $4,000,000 to each of his tw^ro children. The 100 contributors also died and each left two children who began by each giving $1,600, or 40 percent of a $4,000 income, earning power, to sustain the investments of the two millioji-aires. When eighteen more years had passed, the two millionaires each had $8,000,000 invested, which required a contribution of $3,200 from each of 200 producers of wealth. In the ninetieth year from the time when the first million dollars was invested, the two heirs with no earning ability each had $16,000,000 which required from each of the 200 sustainers a contribution of $6,400, which was $2,400 more than his earning capacity, and each had to draw from his savings.

Pathetic Case of Paternal Attachment

IN Budapest, Hungary, eighty years ago, a famous physician lost his only son with diphtheria. Carried away with grief, he obtained permission to embalm the body, which he did, keeping it in a glass case opposite his desk in his study. It has just been found, in an attic, a beautiful little body, sitting on a tiny chair, dressed in a purple coat and white trousers. The child was but six years of age when he died. The mummy was perfectly preserved and will be retained in the Pathological Institute of Budapest University.

A Scot’s Letter That Won a Prize

1 SHOULD like to be clearly understood that anything that I have said or may say is not in any way intended to hurt the feelings of people who are Roman Catholic. Your correspondent F.J.M. assures us that, approximately, the number of such people will total 360,000,000. In such a vast number of people there must of necessity be millions of people of good will. Nevertheless, neither numbers nor antiquity, nor yet sincerity in belief on the part of its supporters, is in any way a guarantee that any religious institution is worshiping God in spirit and in truth.

Lucifer is older than man, and still lives, but that in no way contradicts what Jesus said of him, viz., that he (Satan) was a liar and a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth. Jesus at the same time applied this statement to the clergy of His day and told them that they taught the traditions of men and were the children of the Devil and were also liars and murderers.

The clergy of the “Christian religion” and the Roman Catholic religion have confirmed these words of Jesus to be true in every respect, and by their doctrines and course of action have made a very urgent claim upon the paternity of Satan the Devil.

There have been martyrs in all ages, and for many reasons and faiths, religious and political, and Roman Catholicism can boast that they put to death more “martyrs” than any other “Christian” sect. August 24,1572, saw thousands massacred for being Huguenots, and the number in this, the St. Bartholomew Massacre, is, of course, dwarfed by the number that died deaths of agony during the Spanish Inquisition.

“A little more charity,” and most emphatically “a little less ignorance”, and there would and could be no religious hatred, for the reason that only in ignorance can religion exist. Where-ever religion has had full say, and the people have been the cowed slaves of superstitious teaching and bullying clergy, we find that the education of the masses has been terribly neglected. As a proof of that I quote Russia, before the revolution, France before their revolution, also Mexico and Spain.

In the face of the fact that millions of people in “Christendom”, where the Roman Catholic church has had so much power, are in abject poverty and starvation, and even in our own country where the banner of this alleged “Christianity” is waved so energetically, it makes one mentally sick to read such syrupy twaddle as that the Roman Catholic church “is fighting for the right of man to live like a man” and that “it was the church that first taught the brotherhood of man (that in the face of its exploits in Abyssinia and now in Spain) and the equality of man” and “God-given rights” and so on and on ad nauseam.

Words fail me as I see on every hand poverty and filth and vermin, wherein countless thousands of Catholic children are thrust with a regularity that shames machinery and with much less discrimination. Here are no “glories, dignities and sanctities of motherhood”, but a race of debilitated women debauched to serve the demands of expansion of Roman Catholicism.

If the Roman Catholic church nor any of its Jesuitical agents has instigated the war in Spain, then I apologize: but I do so at the danger of making several of the said church’s dignitaries look as if they might be plainly lying; for is it not proclaimed from the housetops that it is a war of Christ against Bolshevism?—Leo Kust, in the Clydebank (Glasgow, Scotland) Press.

Pagan Fire Dances in Britain

ACCORDING to the London Daily Mirror pagan fire dances to Baal, the Devil, have been observed in Britain every year, from time immemorial, and are still observed. It reports one such dance which took place Saturday night, July 4,1936, at Whalton, near Morpeth, Northumberland. The Mirror explains that the lads who dance all night about this huge bonfire once a year, most of them, have no idea that they are taking part in pagan worship of the Devil. They do, indeed, refer to their bonfire as a balefire (see dictionary on this), but they do not realize that balefire and baal-fire are one and the same thing. This is what comes of people’s passing foolish customs on from one generation to another. Indeed, the word “bonfire” is of no better origin, for a bonfire was originally a bone-fire—a fire in which the bones of so-called “heretics” were reduced to ashes by the savages operating the Roman Catholic religion.

Animal Stories

(From The Open Door)

ANIMALS do smile, talk and convey definite information immediately acted on.

Take a pack of wild dogs: One loose from the pack happens to come across buried offal. He eats all that is exposed, then goes a distance to the yet unobserving pack. He gives them such definite information with his eyes, nose and voice that the pack goes straight to where the finder has been, and does as he did.

My Siberian sled dogs Pamelus and Pavlova use numbers of Chinese words, sometimes humorously. They answer winks with the same eye that I use, and answer smiles in the same way: lighting up the eyes, drawing the points of the mouth up to expose the teeth slightly. The mouth is drawn wider and the eyes sparkle.

Animals talk among themselves. A big dog and a small one were neighbors. The former was asleep on his lawn. The small dog was joined by a passing dog that became too familiar. The small dog whispered across the grass tops. The big dog understood, woke up suddenly, rushed the intruder across the street and, his police work done, immediately went back to sleep.

A member of my family recently tamed a wild Samoyed from the Siberian steppes by constantly telling her, quite against the facts, that she was a “good girl,” and associating the compliment sometimes with a reward. The whip now hangs dust-covered. We can calm her frequently flaming spirit any time now with these magic words, which she fully understands.

That all birds talk with each other and chant chorals with leaders at regular times is certain, and your friendly robin will change his song into a definite scolding meant for you if you bring a dog on the lawn where you are friendly with robin.—Exchange.

Are cats clever? Oh, yes! Listen to this:

Duncan boasts a cat which, although homeless, gets along very well indeed in cold weather, thank you.

It haunts the warm radiators of cars parked downtown. When a new car draws up to the curb the cat leaves its perch on the cooling radiator to settle on the warm hood of the latest arrival.—Exchange.

There was a story in one of the Sunday papers to the effect that a wolf puppy was captured by a man and taken to his home, where the dog was reared along with some other dogs, German Shepherds. The wolf puppy soon out-distanced her school fellows and became the star pupil, showing a marvelous talent for detection. This went on for quite a while, but finally the con* tempt of the wolf for her more domesticated companions became so marked and finally so unbearable that it was necessary to take her off the force. The policeman who had found her felt her situation so much that he too resigned from the force and went to live alone with his wolf puppy.—Exchange.

For several years a small businesslike dog sold newspapers to hundreds of people in Boston every day. The little dog, so loving, patient and faithful to his crippled master, was always to be seen near the Park Street subway entrance, trotting around with a paper in his mouth, until a sale was made to a regular customer or a stranger.

Silently, yet persistently, this dog of business approached the men, women and children with the latest news of the day. Patrons dropped their pennies in the pocket about the dog’s neck and hurried away, more thoughtful and considerate of others because of this friendly morning greeting. Often the shopping people and children would linger for a friendly talk. It was not an unusual sight to see from fifty to a hundred persons waiting their turn to buy and say a few kind words to the intelligent little worker.

Each week the dog earned about twenty-five dollars for his master, who, in return, shared his fire, his food, his bed, his heart, with his companion. Such love and service were as the love of David and Jonathan!—News.

E. N. Zeikle has a pet goose that follows him around like a dog, even on crowded sidewalks. The goose has learned the meaning of the lights and rigidly observes traffic laws when crossing the street.

Mr. Zeikle bought the bird from a farmer and placed it in a sack in his auto. It raised such a row that he took it from the sack and for the rest of the journey it sat on the seat next to the owner and made friends. That did it! Billy, as the goose is named, was accepted as a pet, not as a dinner.—National Humane Review.

There are only about 3,200 acres of the 604 square miles of Sequoia National Park in which the Sequoi Gigantea grows, but there are deer and bears in every part of it.

After we got into our cabin we unpacked and went out for a look around. On returning we grew grave. Intruders had pushed open our cabin door and made away with a lot of our provisions. Being just out of a big city, we were ready to suspect that some other camper had robbed us. But we had been robbed by bears.

Beside our camp cottage is the outdoor kitchen and dining-room. As soon as plates begin to clatter deer and chipmunks begin to arrive. Often while we are eating our meal three or four different deer will come up to be fed, eating from our hands if we will let them.—Exchange.

John Gabbert, the camp guide and lecturer, says there are several thousand deer in the park. And one of the rangers says there are about four hundred bears. Every afternoon at three o’clock a truckload of camp scraps is taken up on Bear Hill, and all the rest of the evening bears are dropping in there to eat.

We went up yesterday afternoon and saw eighteen feeding at once; the ranger said about forty a day are regular customers. They range all the way from cubs to Clubfoot, a big brown bear that weighs seven hundred pounds.—Park Item.

Taking Care of Gorillas

THE London Record states that in the United States “one-fifth of the entire output of dogfood, one hundred million cans, is eaten by humans, and only 15 of the 200 plants manufacturing that food are under the regular inspection of the Department of Agriculture”. (The other day, on the way to a train, two men were actually and literally picking meat scraps out of a gutter where they had been thrown from a wholesale meat market. Probably these meat scraps, after cooking, were made into dog-food.) Then the Record quotes Dr. Julian Huxley, caretaker at a London zoo, as giving the following description of the food given two gorillas, Booboo and Jubilee, at the zoo:

This is what each of them gets daily: 2 lbs. grapes, 2 lbs. apples, 6 bananas, 3 oranges, some rhubarb, tomatoes, lettuce, onions and carrots, with plenty of greens; half a loaf of bread, a quart of fresh milk

(tuberculosis-free and irradiated), half a tin of condensed milk, a little porridge and some weak tea. In addition, they get boiled chicken or meat three times a week, and various vitamins and special health preparations.

The Golden Age

SOMEBODY thinks that The Golden Age sees too much of evil and rascality in the Devil’s world and would like it not to have so much to say about the need of God’s kingdom, but be like all the other “nice” magazines. Yeah! Would such please send in a revision of the Lord’s prayer? Come to think of it, somebody did actually do that very thing; for after Jesus had openly and honestly prayed “Thy kingdom come”, as something then future, somebody else secretly and dishonestly added words in contradiction, which same are to be found in the latter part of Matthew 6:13, but sire omitted from Luke 11:4, the corresponding passage. The interpolated expression, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen,” is missing from the two oldest manuscripts yet discovered, the Vatican MS. No. 1209 and the Sinaitic.

Proposed Union of Church and State

OVER WHN radio station the so-called “National Committee for Religion and Welfare Recovery”, the same being a combine, more or less complete, of the 210 kinds of Catholics, Protestants and Jews, presented plans for a half-hour course of “religion” at the outset of each school day. This would not be by clergymen of the 210 varieties. Mercy, no! It would not be as simple as that. The teachers would be “examined by the Board of Regents in accordance with standards approved by religious authorities in the individual faiths”.

All that would be needed in each school would be 210 kinds of teachers, and to split up the youngsters into 210 groups and pump in the religion, beads, scapulars,holy water, images and other junk until it came out their noses. Does anybody really think this would be either for the welfare of the state or for that of the children ? Most certainly not; and it is so ridiculous that one wonders how they could ever have proposed such a foolish thing. Religion should be kept out of the schools altogether.

By Trail and Stream and Garden Path By Grace A. Estep (Pennsylvania)

<<OALLY, I’m sure that’s a brown thrasher kJ I hear, This is late in the season for him.” “I hear him, Jane. Where is he?”

“I don’t see him, but he should be on his way to the southern states.”

“Is that the one, Jane? In that wild-cherry tree?”

“No, Sally. That’s a towhee. He looks a lot like a robin, doesn’t he, except for all that white on his breast?”

“He’s pretty. I love to go for walks with you, Jane. You see so many things I never notice.”

“It’s just because I’ve taught myself to be interested in nature. There is so much going on around us all the time—I don’t want it all to escape me.”

“I never thought of that.”

“There’s a meadow lark, Sally. Wait till he moves, then you’ll see his yellow breast and his spots.”

“I see him now. Where will he spend the winter ?”

“Here. He has come from Canada. Our meadow larks are on their way south now.”

“Listen. Hear that loud sort of clacking sound?”

“Yes, that’s a flicker. And there he is—that large bird on the dead tree. Quick, Sally! Look! There’s a killdeer down by that stream. See how he runs along on those long legs. Watch, I’ll make him follow us.”

Jane walked on down the road that followed the stream, and as she went she called out, “Killdee—killdee—.” The killdeer answered, and ran toward the sound.

Just then a flash of brilliant blue attracted them to a thicket. A small bird teetered on a twig, twitched his tail, then sang—a rollicking, merry little tune.

“An indigo bunting,” Jane announced. “That little brown bird in the hedge near by is his mate.”

“That’s funny. They’re so different.”

“Bob-white! Bob-white!” came across the field.

“A quail,” Jane said.

“You can’t fool me, Jane. That was a bobwhite.”

“Of course it was. A quail is the same thing, Sally. Two names for one bird. We’ll not be able to find it at this distance. The quail hides so easily because it looks like the grass. It walks with the funniest waddling motion.”

“Where does it go in winter?”

“The quail is a peculiar bird. It can easily be domesticated, and since it does not need to migrate, it can be kept as a sort of barnyard fowl.”

“Why do birds migrate, Jane? Is it because they need food?”

“No one seems absolutely sure what instinct causes birds to migrate so regularly or to go to the lands they do.”

“You mentioned food. But look—there’s no shortage of food now, yet most of our birds have left. All we see of our migrant birds are a few strays. And in the spring the first of our birds return from a land of plenty when there is scarcely a bite to be found.”

“Could it be the cold that drives them away?”

“No, because we have our warmest days after many of the birds have gone. And some of our deepest snows come after the birds have returned.”

“Then what is it?”

“It is generally believed that the length of day determines the time of migration. When the northern days begin to lengthen, the birds return; when they begin to shorten, the birds leave.”

“Do they go far?”

“Some travel thousands of miles, much of it over water. They breast terrific storms sometimes. Others go only a few hundred miles north or south. Still others do not migrate at all, while many simply pass over us during their migratory flight. Many birds go south a few miles and are replaced by others of their kind from a little farther north.”

“How wonderful, Jane! What strange and marvelous things Jehovah has given us!”

AT Macy’s great store, New York, there are 159 departments, handling 300,000 articles;

115 elevators and escalators; a hospital; a sundeck ; 135,000 customers a day, and 11,840 Macy employees to take care of the business. One may be shown the entire store, twenty stories, absolutely free, including the place where they slide crockery and glassware down ten stories without a crack.

Aeronautics

hafen, Germany, at 9:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 6,1936, landing at Lakehurst, New Jersey, at 5:23 a.m., Saturday, May 9. One of the widely advertised features of the trip was that Reverend Paul Schulte, Roman Catholic priest, said mass on board. This was apparently to give the Roman Catholic organization some share of the glory of the trip. The hocus-pocus then performed lasted for just one year. On the first trip of the current year, the ship was about to land at Lakehurst, and was within 30 feet of the ground, when it exploded, at 7:23 p.m., Thursday, May 6, 1937, and was completely destroyed. Of the 97 on board 36 have died, among them the former commander of the Hindenburg, Captain Ernst A. Lehmann, a Roman Catholic. Schulte saw him after he was dead; but what good did that do ?

Air-Mail Service to Britain

rnHE planes being designed for air-mail serv-A ice to Britain will have a 200-foot wing span and will carry 150 persons. In summer the trips will be direct from New York to Southampton; in winter the route will be via Charleston, Bermuda, and the Azores, to the same destination. The mails will go every other day. At first the planes used will carry only about 60 persons.

Five and a Half Hours to Bermuda

ONLY a little while ago, to get to Bermuda, it took two days, and does yet, if you go by steamer, but the planes hop over the 773-mile journey in five and a half hours. Pay-passenger service has been installed, and is the initial leg of the transatlantic service so long delayed.

7^l/i Times as Fast as Falling

SEVEN and one-half times as fast as falling,

James B. Taylor, at Farmingdale, New York, brought a bombing plane down from a 20,000-foot elevation to a 5,000-foot elevation at a speed of about 600 miles an hour. Earlier on the same day he made eleven other power dives.

Fast Time from Cape Town

TT L. Brook, British flier, made the trip from Cape Town, South Africa, to England in 4 days 20 minutes, a distance of 8,000 miles. by the ankles by two fellow passengers while he fixed one of the landing wheels so that he and all the passengers could land safely. Had he not done it, quite probably all on the plane would have been seriously injured, and all might have been killed.

Eight Days from Pole to Pole

THERE is now airplane service almost from pole to pole, and it takes only eight days to make the trip. Starting at Nome, Alaska, 1,500 miles from the north pole, there is Pacific-Alaska Airway service to Juneau, thence 700 miles to Seattle by steamer, and thence all the way to Magallanes, within 2,500 miles of the south pole, by Pan-American Airways and the Chilean National Airlines. Virtually the entire earth is now accessible by regular plane service. Immense airdromes are being built everywhere.

Seventy Cents per Letter for Pacific Air Mails

THE charge per half-ounce letter for postage for transpacific air mails is seventy cents. Mails leave San Francisco every Wednesday, arriving in Hong Kong the next Wednesday. At Hong Kong connections are made with Imperial Airways for mails to India, Australia and New Zealand. The 70c takes the letter all the way to its destination.

Fast Time to Australia

IN THE London to Melbourne (Australia) air race of 1934, C. W. A. Scott and Campbell Black, British aviators, covered the distance in 1 hour 1 minute less than 3 days. The trip in the reverse direction has recently been made by H. F. Broadbent in 6 days 10 hours 55 minutes.

One Day, Moscow to London

THE new one-day service by Dutch Airlines between Moscow and London is via Riga, Stockholm and Amsterdam and takes 13 hours 55 minutes for the trip. The Dutch company uses American-built Douglas planes.

IN THE Roman Catholic organization all priests are addressed by the term “father” and the pope is called the “holy father”. Says The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume IV: “The name ‘Father’, which originally belonged to bishops, has been as it were delegated to priests, specially as ministers of the Sacrament of Penance. It is now a form of address to all priests in Spain, in Ireland, and, of recent years, in England and the United States.” Such teaching is directly in violation of the Word of God, concerning honor to men, and specifically contrary to the command of Christ Jesus.

The apostles of Jesus Christ addressed their brethren in terms of affection, such as son or children, but not one of them ever applied the term father to himself or to any other man. In taking this course the apostles were strictly obeying the commandment of Jesus given to them, to wit: “Call none your father upon earth; for one is your Father, who is in heaven.”— Matthew 23:9,10, Douay.

The Pharisees, who were the clergy of the Jews, used the titles of “father” and “master” and caused themselves to be thus addressed in order that they might receive adulation and honor from the people. Knowing that such practice was the Devil’s scheme to turn the attention of the people from God, Jesus gave warning to His disciples of such danger, and further said to them: ‘Ye cannot serve two masters. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.’ (Luke 16:13) For these things the Pharisees derided Jesus. “And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”—Luke 16:15.

Why is the wearing of long robes, gold lace, peculiar hats, and other like things, an abomination in the sight of Jehovah God? The reason is that such tends to turn men away from God in support of the Devil’s scheme and to do injury to the people in their liberty, property and life, and therefore is an abomination in God’s sight. Everyone should be respectful to his fellow creature, but to make the distinction between the followers of Christ by giving great honor to some is entirely wrong. All are one in Christ, and such was the prayer of Christ Jesus, that all should be one. (John 17: 21) God has placed safeguards about His people that they may not be deceived and led away by the Devil, but that they should give honor and glory unto God and not to man. (Psalm 66: 2) Christ Jesus took no honor to himself. (Hebrews 5:4, 5) He gave all honor and glory to Jehovah God His Father. Jesus did not seek the honor of men. “But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.” (Philippians 2:7) On the contrary, the pope, who claims to be the vicegerent of Christ, takes to himself great honor, and upon him is bestowed the title “Holy Father”.

“The Trinity” is another false doctrine. Says The Catholic Encyclopedia: “The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion— . . . that in the unity of the Godhead there are three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit . . . the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal; all alike and uncreated and omnipotent. In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the three divine Persons are denoted together.” It is therefore seen that The Catholic Encyclopedia admits that the doctrine of “the trinity” is based upon tradition; and that alone shows that it is contrary to the Word of God. The Scriptures clearly show that Jehovah God, the Eternal One, remained in heaven and sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to earth to die and redeem the human race, as it is written (John 3:16): “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” This clearly shows that there is one God Eternal, Jehovah, and one first-begotten Son, Christ Jesus, separate and distinct, and that therefore “the trinity” is a false doctrine.

Items Concerning Yellow Papal Fascism

Beginnings of Tyranny

THE BOSTON TRAVELER, explaining how Fascism begins, said:

Prof. Michele Cantarella, of Smith College, a Mazzini Republican and World War lieutenant who fled from Fascist Italy, today contended that such legislation as the compulsory flag-salute and the teachers’ oath law is “the beginning of tyranny as I saw it in Italy”.

“Later the same thing may start on other religious groups. I know Fascism very well and I know it is important to defend religious freedom, ’ ’ the youthful Italian said.

“In Germany they started with the Jews and then the Catholics. In Italy everybody was considered to be a Catholic and there were not many Jews, so Mussolini invented a Communist danger. He started against the Freemasons, then the Socialists, and then the New Communists—all in the name of patriotism.

“The American Legion I do not understand. I don’t know why they have become the most reactionary force where they were the very ones who fought for democracy. ’ ’

Prof. Cantarella, a former faculty member of Boston University and of the Erskine School, “saw children of 17 and 18 going out With revolvers” in the early days of Italian Fascism, and, heartsick, hastened to the United States.

A Monster of Many Heads

DISCERNING a part of the truth regarding Fascism, Libertad Narvaez, of New York, writing in La Prensa, says:

Fascism is a modern social monster of many heads. In England it is represented by Sir Oswald Mosley (together with the newspaperman Rothermere) ; in Ireland by O’Duffy; in France by De la Rocque and by Doriot; in Belgium by Leon Degrelle; in Spain by Francisco Franco; and in Spanish America it is typified by General Anastacio Somoza, new commander of the ‘Republic’ of Nicaragua. Its directing heads: Hitler (Germany) and Mussolini (Italy). In the United States it has been represented by different mandarins, such as Gerald K. Smith, the political Father Coughlin, and William Randolph Hearst.

“Admiration Among Thieves”

TT IS a long time since anything in the London ■I Times has aroused such world-wide interest as its editorial about the German-Italian-Japanese anti-Communism alliance. Its sentence “If there is not honor, there is at least mutual admiration among thieves” was a ringer and stung the Japanese so badly that they would not allow the editorial to be reprinted in Japan.

The Cowardice of Fascism

TJAPAL Fascism in Austria rests entirely on bayonets and machine guns. It is without the confidence of the people. It is admitted that in every restaurant there are government agents listening to every conversation, even of foreigners, to see if anybody dares express disapproval of their beastly rule. A favorite exhibition of governmental power is to drag women Socialists out of their prison cells at night and then question them all night till their nerves break under the strain. Vienna has been placarded with posters attacking the Jews.

It is illegal in Austria to be a member of any political party except the Vaterlandische Front. Anyone suspected may be arrested and held for months. He must pay six shillings a day for his keep, but anyone assisting his family with food or otherwise is liable to arrest. A physician who treated the poor political ex-prisoners was expelled from Austria. Relatives may see a prisoner for five minutes once a week. Women prisoners are allowed washing water twice a week, but denied hairbrushes and soap.

Fascist Attacks in London

THE Jew-baiting by Mosley and other Fascists is beginning to bear fruit in London.

Here is a two-page article in the magazine Jolin Bull, entitled “Grim Terror by Night in the East End”, from which it appears there is no longer any safety to life or property in a large district in the largest city in the world. Threats of murder, smashing of windows, hustling of people off the sidewalks, personal abuse, spitting upon people, etc., are all part of the Roman Hierarchy’s well-thought-out scheme for seizing and ruling the world by the worst men and the worst methods ever used on the planet.

Eden’s Aid to Fascism

Eden’s aid to Fascism (Catholic Action) is thus described by the London News Chronicle:

Mr. Anthony Eden prepares to rehabilitate Italy and to give her reassurances in the Mediterranean, which will only strengthen her belief that she can crush freedom wherever she finds it. There is even talk of a new loan to Germany to be spent only on foodstuffs, in order that what little money is now spent on food in Germany can be added to the large amount of money that is spent on arms.

Who Controls the World’s Wealth—and How Come?

or threats of violence, and that she takes all and gives nothing, it is reasonable to conclude that her wealth, the steady accumulation of centuries, has- reached unbelievable and

The Sad Little Basque Children in England

Von Ribbentrop Arrived in England

murders being carried on at Bilbao, but because they could not be convinced that the peaceful planes flying overhead had not followed them all the way from Spain, the government had to issue directions that planes remain away from the neighborhood where they are encamped.

Even Afraid of Children

mHE Hierarchy is so afraid of the truth that it is even afraid to have any of the Basque children brought to America as refugees, for fear these little folks may tell of the devilish doings of the Hierarchy’s man Franco in Spain. The Advocate, official organ of the Knights of Columbus of the state of Ohio, makes this clear in its issue of June 3,1937, claiming that 40,000 of the Massachusetts Knights protested against this act of mercy. Dorgan (yes, the same one) was back of the protest.

Making It Hoi for the British Government

MAKING it hot for the British Government, the Fascist radio station at Bari, southern Italy, it is said, sent out a stream of anti-British propaganda, in Arabic, Egyptian, Hindustan and Jewish, and Mussolini’s government is virtually giving away radio sets all over the East so that listeners everywhere will hear plenty of anti-British and pro-Italian news. The effect was said to be a rapid weakening of British influence in all the countries affected.

Hitler Called “Paperhanger”

"PHILADELPHIA paperhangers were sore about this, and you cannot blame them. They insist that Hitler is not in their class at all, and that the only thing he has hung in the past fen years is the liberty of the German people. They want the charge that he was any kind of paperdanger (let alone the Philadelphia kind) expunged from the record.

Bulgaria Aping Hitler

"DULGARIA, aping Hitler, and led on by Ger-D many’s example, has built up her army far and away beyond the limits of the peace treaties, and has blossomed out with new motorized artillery, including heavy guns and small tanks. It appears that idiocy is catching. ed to lecture the British people to be on the lookout for Communism, the great scarecrow of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy. Thereupon a Communist member of the British Parliament, Mr. W. Gallacher, denounced him as having his hands red with blood for the murder, after three years of imprisonment and torture, of the German Communist Andre. The British Parliament backed this up by sending a telegram to Hitler, signed by forty of the members, protesting against Andre’s execution, in face of the evidence at his trial. The trial, by the way, was held in secret, for offenses alleged to have been committed from five to seven years ago.

No More Bogus Uniforms in Britain

FROM January 1, 1937, there are no more bogus uniforms in Britain; a good law, and should be duplicated everywhere. It is much needed in the United States, which is every day getting more and more into the idea that people in uniforms are different from other people, and more to be heeded. When the gas man comes to read the meter nowadays he is purposely gotten up to look as much like a policeman as possible. It is all poppycock.

Little Girls Wanted to Keep Their Hair

A RATHER comical and touching incident of the landing of 4,000 little Basque children in Britain is that girls of all ages kicked, bit and scratched the British barbers that removed their Spanish tresses. They could not understand why they must lose their hair, but it was necessary.

Restriction of Liberty in Ireland

IN ITS new charter Ireland takes a long step back toward the Dark Ages by its express provision that “the education of public opinion” “shall not be used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the State”. This is merely another way of saying that the Irish Free State is afraid of its own shadow, and does not dare permit the free and full discussion of all subjects. The charter or constitution has the Fascist-Nazi ring characteristic of all products dominated by the Roman Hierarchy.

Satan’s Ultimate in Glory

IN THE winter of 1935, in London, when the late King George V was carried through the West End, even in death that wasted little man was surrounded and followed for miles by a mingling of the ‘holy’ men of the empire and the tough guys, the champion wholesale killers, of all the earth. The professional killers took the show—doddering old field marshals hardly able to drag their dry old bones over the four-mile course, admirals, generals, princes and diplomatic conspirators against peace, sanity and all

Satan’s ultimate in glory.

the decent objectives toward which civilization strives. They came in plumes and horse feathers, with swords clanking against their calves, to conduct the little old king to his grave, where the clergy intoned God’s blessing, while from the distance there came the boom of cannon made to kill men.—Westbmok Pegler, in New York World-Telegram.

Curious Treatment of Lincoln’s Body

COLLIERS magazine says: “Paradoxically, the funeral of Abraham Lincoln was the most pompous and his burial one of the most casual in American history. The fourteen cities in which his body lay in state vied with one another in final tributes to him. But from 1865 to 1901, his body was moved 17 times, once being hidden—for a period of two years—under a pile of scrap lumber in the cellar of a monument in Springfield.”

Funeral Rites

UNDER the heading “Funeral Rites” the Encyclopedia Americana says: “Funeral rites have developed from the belief that the dead are not really dead and the desire to propitiate or alleviate the departed spirit.” Placing a corpse on exhibition, and placing the bereaved on exhibition, has little to commend it.

Silly Cost of Burial

THE proposition that the average funeral in New York city costs $430, and, for families already on the charity of the city, is often as much as $300, is so silly and unreasonable that the whole subject needs to be overhauled. Funerals have been turned into a show, a spectacle, a display of wealth by people at a time and under circumstances when they can in no way be afforded. In the Bahama Islands the funeral associations make their own plain coffins, dig the graves and bury the bodies of their deceased neighbors without a cent of cost to anybody, and an hour after the funeral is over the corpse is in just as honorable position in the Bahamas as it is in the most aristocratic cemetery in New York.

One-Third Die Penniless

SAYS W. L. Scott, traveling salesman, dealing in undertakers’ supplies: “One Richmond undertaker made the statement that over one-third of the people who die have no money whatsoever, and in other sections of the country it is even worse. In Richmond they have just started to levy on the cash values of life insurances of the poor; thus they leave old men without life insurance, and when they are old they cannot secure any more.”

Astoria’s Bid for Settlers

rpWO undertakers, at Astoria, Oregon, are bidding for the burial of the paupers in the county in which Astoria is located. Three years ago the price per burial was $35; the next year it was $15; and in 1934, ten funerals for one cent.

Killed by Fright

A T Warsaw, Poland, when Israel Schneider-mann, supposed to be dead, but still living, stirred in his coffin, one of the watchers was so shocked that he collapsed and died of fright.

About Kings and Dictators and Such

Shaw on the Coronation Ritual

TN A letter to the editor of Time and Tide A George Bernard Shaw paid his respects to the coronation ritual in the following typically Shavian manner:

The coronation ritual is either offensive or ridiculous to an enormous majority of the inhabitants of the Empire. The thing has become so absurd that from every quarter we are urgently reminded that the proceedings are symbolic and that the king himself is a symbol.

In the coronation the symbols are not merely obsolete; they symbolize conditions which have been reversed. They represent the king’s investment with powers that he no longer wields, and of which it has cost us two revolutions and several regicides to deprive him.

They make him high priest as well as king, and commit him to the 39 Articles of a little sect called the Church of England, the subscribers to which are described by our greatest Churchman as necessarily either fools, bigots, or liars.

Farewell to Divine Right of Kings

IN HIS farewell speech to the youth of the British Empire, Premier Baldwin frankly admitted that “the old doctrine of the divine right of kings has gone”. He also stated:

We have no intention of erecting in its place a new doctrine of the Divine Right of States, for no State that ever was is worthy of a free man’s worship.

Mr. Baldwin manifestly does not believe in flag-worship. It does not fit into the British idea of the way things ought to be done. America might heed.

Defender of the Apocrypha Too

THE coronation ceremonies include the consecration of a king of England to his position very similar to that of a bishop to a bishopric. At one stage the king is handed a copy of the Bible, and the copy that is handed to him must contain the Apocrypha. By virtue of his position the king is “Defender of the Faith”, and that, supposedly, includes the defense of the Apocrypha, which all real scholars know are really no part of the Word of God, being merely traditions of men.

Revenue of Coronation $500,000,000

THE revenue of the coronation is put at $500,000,000. The actual cost to the government of the forty-minute show was around $2,000,000.

Rupprecht of the House of Stuart

THERE are persons in England (“Jacobites”, so called) who hold that the rightful heir to the British throne is the crown prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, oldest living representative of the Stuart kings of England. They recently made a demonstration on his behalf in the city of London. The Stuarts reigned from 1603 to 1714, when they were succeeded by the present reigning house of Brunswick. Most Britishers are as amused at the proclamations of the Jacobites on behalf of the Stuarts as they would be if others should appear on the scene urging the claims of the Tudors, Plantagenets or Normans.

Poking Fun at the British

IT IS well known that the British people look upon royalty merely as a symbol, and would be just as enthusiastic over an automatic manikin livened up by electric eyes and phonographs as they would over a real king. That is their business ; that’s what they like. Why disturb them ? So it is just a bit naughty for the Chicago Sunday Tribune to print evidence that there is a very real censorship in Britain as to what may be said about rumors of epilepsy, mental deficiency, etc., on the part of royalty. It is like taking the gay nightshirt off an archbishop; when that is done the holy man looks like any other ordinary chunk of human meat.

Britain’s Protestant King

CALLING attention to the fact that the king of England must swear to protest against the doctrines of the Church of Rome, The People, Trinidad, British West Indies, comments sagely on the expulsion of The Golden Age and all Watch Tower literature from the island:

The legal adviser of the Government of Trinidad is a Roman Catholie and the Port of Spain Gazette in trying to whitewash the Executive Council rested its case on the alleged virulence of the protests of Jehovah’s witnesses against the Church of Rome! Their crime is doing what the king must do!!

The King May Do as He Pleases

THE British king may do as he pleases, except that he may not become a papist or marry one. He may make the lady of his choice a queen or not, as he prefers. He can dissolve Parliament and rule without it by orders in council for a period of three years.

Jardine More Noble Than His Critics

Reverend Jardine, who performed the church wedding for the duke of Windsor and Wallis Warfield, after the couple had been already married by the French civil authorities, has more nobility than his critics. Reared an agnostic, he became a bookkeeper, Y.M.C.A. and slum worker, and was disowned by his father. Then he went to preach among the poor; and though he is an Episcopalian, he does not think that the Episcopal church is the one true church outside of which there is no salvation. He honestly thought it an outrage, the way the duke of Windsor and his bride were treated by the Church of England authorities, and as soon as he had rectified what he believed to be a great wrong to a fellow man, he resigned his position in the church.

“Lest We Forget”

T EST we forget, in these critical times, it is helpful and healthful to remember that Henry VIII, founder of the Church of England, was a much-married man. He disposed of two of his wives, Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves, by divorce, and sent two ladies to the block. Also, one of his wives was his sister-inlaw, which was certainly irregular. The holy archbishops of the Church of England need not now forget the humble origin of their church, sprung from the most devilish of all churches, the Church of Rome. Nor need they forget that the grandfather of Edward VIII, namely Edward VII, was alleged, in his day, to have stepped about as high, wide and handsome with the ladies as any king yet.

What Edward Did Not Do

T^HE duke of Windsor did not marry six wives in quick succession, put two of them to death, and annul the marriage with two. Had he done so, as did Henry VIII, founder of the Church of England, the archbishop of Canterbury would have had great respect for him. Archbishops are like that.

Don’t Be Too Sorry for Edward

TAON’T be too sorry for Britain’s ex-king. He ■*“' is to get $500,000 a year for not being king. That is just about as good as being paid for not raising corn or hogs. But then, as shown on another page, there seems to be a lot of this being paid for not doing things. It is a part of the Devil’s system. He is always glad to pay a person for not telling the truth, for example.

The Menace of Dictatorships

Stanley Baldwin, M.P., voiced the contempt that every Britisher and every true American feels for dictators when he said, in a speech broadcast throughout the British Isles:

I admit a dictator can do much. When in power he may do everything. There is one thing he cannot do, and that is, create another dictator. Dictatorship is like a giant beech-tree—very magnificent to look at in its prime, but nothing grows underneath it. The whole tendency of it is to squeeze out the competent and independent men and to create a hierarchy used to obey; and when the original dictator goes, chaos is often the result. We have no hierarchy in this country used to obey. Our people are independent. They have been accustomed to taking part in the government of their locality or of their country, and they realize that the ultimate responsibility for law and order is in their hands. Do you remember when Sir Henry Wilson was shot, and the gunmen tried to escape, how the man in the road with the shovel went after them? Do you remember the holdup in the streets of London the other day, when that gallant man came down from his ladder and attacked the men although they had revolvers with them? Do you remember the taxi driver the other day who rammed the car in which the smash-and-grab men were making off? Those things don’t happen under dictatorships. Those things are the result of freedom and responsibility.

Huxley Will Get His Wish

TN ONE of Julian Huxley’s books he says:

If we had a benevolent dictator, then just by telling the people what food they should eat he could add an inch or probably two inches to the average stature, and six, eight or ten pounds to the average weight, enormously reduce the incidence of infectious disease, and increase general alertness.

How happy it makes Jehovah’s people that all this and a thousand times more will be brought about through God’s kingdom! The people then will nevermore say “I am sick”, but will rejoice in life and health and strength and wisdom and every good thing. They will say, “Lo, this is our God,” and ‘the former things will not come into mind’. Today man lives in barbarism of the worst type; tomorrow, beyond Armageddon, he lives in Paradise, Eden restored.

London’s Huge Fire

WHEN the Crystal Palace burned in London the flames ascended 600 feet in air and were seen clearly at Brighton, 50 miles away. The loss is put at $10,000,000.

The Love of ⁴ⁱMoney”—Root of All Evils

Duff Cooper Defends Bribery

IN THE British House of Commons Duff

Cooper, British secretary of state for war, defended bribery by British members of International Murderers, Incorporated, in about the rawest speech ever delivered by any so-called “statesman” in this day of unabashed meanness and dishonor. Listen to this:

A British firm might not be able to obtain a contract unless it paid a substantial commission to corrupt statesmen. This contract might give employment to the people of this country. It is said that it is wrong to make money out of people’s needs. But what can you make money out of except the things that people need? We have been told that British soldiers have been killed by British bullets. It could make little difference to the men themselves where the bullets were made.

What Was Haig’s Prize?

ONCE upon a time The Golden Age printed the facts regarding the cash award made to Britain’s war-time commander-in-chief, General Haig. If memory serves aright he received a cash pension of a million pounds, or about $5,000,000. In the second volume of his memoirs Lloyd George says of Mr. Haig:

Haig ordered many bloody battles in this war. He only took part in two. He never even saw the ground on which his greatest battles were fought, either before or during the fight.

It is Lloyd George’s opinion that Haig was personally a contemptible coward and a merciless sacrificer of men.

The Heir Presumptive to the British Throne

IN A speech at Oxford, England, James Maxton, Scottish Laborite member of Parliament, protested that Princess Elizabeth, heir presumptive to the British throne, is to receive a grant of £6,000 a year while in his own constituency the child of an unemployed man gets only three shillings a week and her father but seventeen shillings.

Salaries of Legislators

BRITISH members of Parliament receive salaries of $2,000 a year, which is one-fifth that received by American members of Congress. The British legislators ride free on the railways; the Congressmen are paid 20c per mile, which is many times what it costs them, no matter how they ride.

Ramsay MacDonald Well Cared For

Ramsay Macdonald is expected to receive £2,000 annual pension for having once been prime minister, £600 a year as a member of Parliament, £1,500 a year as a gift from the estate of Sir Alexander Grant, and his unmarried son, Malcolm, Dominions secretary, receives £5,000 a year. That figures up a grand total of about $45,000 a year.

Afraid of Their Gold Stocks

THE stock market crash in Britain is because the British people are afraid that their gold mine stocks are not as valuable as they thought. It was all right while Uncle Sam was buying all the gold he could get at almost double the usual price. When he stopped buying nobody else wanted the gold at the fancy price, and the stocks went kerflop.

Woolworth’s in Britain

WOOLWORTH’S in Britain made £6,541,663 in profits last year and split a melon for the stockholders but not for the clerks. Stock was watered to the tune of 100 percent, and dividends paid on the original stock and the water too.

Richest Man in English History

Sir John Ellerman, richest man in English history, died three years ago. He was a great shipowner. $100,000,000 of his fortune will go to the British government as inheritance tax, and a like amount to his son.

Women Who Lost Their Sweethearts

ENGLAND has 250,000 women who lost their sweethearts in the World War and are now getting on in years, with no families to help or comfort them. They are demanding, and rightly, that the government pension them at 55.

Not War, but Financial Collapse

NOT war, but financial collapse, is the outlook for the near future, according to Sir George Paish, British economist. Sir George, accounted one of Britain’s ablest thinkers, is credited with having foreseen the World War and the more recent great depression in world business.

Heartless and Lawless Employers

THERE are still heartless and lawless employers in Britain. One was found working women and girls 71 hours a week, w’ith continuous working spells of as long as 6% hours at a time. Another worked a boy from 8:00 a.m. to 5: 00 p.m. Then the boy came back and worked from 10:00 p.m. to 5:15 a.m. Then he came back again and worked from 2: 30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. He often worked similarly.

More at Work in Britain

IN November, 1936, there were more people working in England than in any other year since 1929. In 1929 10,300,000 had jobs, but in last November 11,103,000 were employed. This still left 1,611,810 without work, despite the rearmament prosperity.

Fatal Accidents in British Mines

THE number of fatal accidents in British coal mines in the year 1934 was 1,073. The Church of England is heavily interested in coal mining. It draws more than £250,000 a year in royalties.

The Mine Explosion at Gresford

PRIOR to the mine-gas explosion at Gresford, England, in 1934, at which 265 lives were lost, the gas conditions in the mine had become so bad that many of the men were overcome with nausea at their work, some had outbreaks of boils, some had spells of giddiness, and not a few worked stark-naked because their bellies were so sore from the rubbing of the sweat that they could not keep any clothes on their bodies. The owners and officials of the mine were being prosecuted three years after the explosion took place.

£66,540,000 for British Coal Mines

mHE price which the British Government agreed to pay for all the coal mines is £66,540,000. It seems like a modest sum, compared with the tremendous sums paid for armaments. Here is hoping that when the new owner gets to running the mines the poor miners get enough to live decently inside the mines and out, and also that the better day will soon dawn when light and fuel for humankind will be obtained by superior methods, sure to be discovered in God’s own due time.

Unwilling to Kill Their Customers

Robert H. Jackson, assistant United States attorney general, in a speech to the Georgia

Bar Association indicated that the legal profession know where their bread is buttered, for:

No realist believes that any public policy touching big business can be entrusted to the legal profession to enforce.

Twenty-one Kinds of Spies

IN 2| years the bill of the General Motors Corporation for spies came to not less than $839,764. This is admittedly incomplete. Twenty-one kinds of spies were employed. About one-half of the money went to Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency, Inc., of New York, one-sixth to Industrial Standards Corporation of Chicago, one-eighth to Corporations Auxiliary Company of Cleveland, one tw’enty-fourth to the Railway Audit and Inspection Company of Pittsburgh, and the balance to lesser fry engaged in the business of spying on their fellow men. While the hearings on this spy business were on in Washington it was disclosed that the Pinkertons had men spying on the LaFollette committee investigating their activities.

If You Have a Criminal Record

IF YOU have a criminal record, and do not concern yourself about what happens to your fellow man, and want employment, how about making application to the National Metal Trades Association, which has labor spies in 952 factories ? Of 42 of these spies in one factory 16 had criminal records. That is 38 percent. The company you have to keep, and the kind of work you may have to do, would probably not be such as any decent man would be willing to do for any consideration whatever. You might not like it, but—.

Exclusive of Returns from Investments

EXCLUSIVE of returns from investments, some of the big incomes for 1935 were: William Randolph Hearst, $500,000; Mae West, $480,833; C. W. Cuttzeit (steel), $398,808; Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of the General Motors Corporation, $374,505, and Wm. F. Knudsen, general executive of the same corporation, $325,869. What is it that Sloan and Knudsen want, anyway?

McCahey Feeds His Flock

Gas-Proof Foolishness

in feeding his family, and also his friends. His touch is touching, as may be seen from the fact that of 155 recently appointed principals of Chicago schools no less than 8 were either relatives or friends of his family. Some of the recently appointed Chicago educators, alleged in the Chicago Herald and Examiner to have obtained their jobs through political influence, are Rena Flanagan, Mary Malone, Angela. Cylkow-sky, Marguerite Flershem, Marion Moran, Margaret Hayes, Mary Sheridan, Susan Gorman, James Kasparek, Margaret Lynch, and Sadie Kalmon. Guess their “church”.

For What Is Rosanoff Looking?

"T\r. M. A. Rosanoff, teacher in Duquesne Uni-U versity, a Roman Catholic school, stated that a Government appropriation of $5,000 would be used to survey health conditions in district high schools and state school laws and economic conditions of rural schools. Does this mean that the Roman Hierarchy is getting ready to take over the entire education system of the United States, and wants to be in possession of enough information to prepare its propaganda and make it seem reasonable ? And now, has the Hierarchy carte blanche to go ahead and get the data?

Britain's Desperate Straits for Soldiers

"DRITAIN is in desperate straits for soldiers, as her young men fail or refuse to enlist in the army. All sorts of expedients have been resorted to to overcome the inertia. Men have been told they could come for a week and see if they like it, and if not they can go back home. At one place in the north of England 30 had agreed to spend such a holiday at an army camp. On the day selected the regiment band went to the station to meet them, and just one man showed up. The other 29 concluded to stay at home after all.

Encouraging Enlistment in Britain

"DRITAIN does all possible to encourage en-■*-* listment in the army, and to discourage it. Five hundred men who went to Palestine to help restore order there found that when they got back home their jobs were gone and other work was not obtainable. Next time there is trouble, will they volunteer? Would you?

government recommends a gas-proof room in every house, well knowing the bulk of the people can have no such room and that one bomb would blow all the windows out of the house, gas-proof room along with the rest. They also mention the government’s advice that children be sent to live with friends in the country, well knowing that not one family in ten could do so. And they want to know what happens when the family has breathed all the air in a room and there is still gas outside.

London's First Gas-Proof Office Building

LONDON has completed its first gas-proof office building, with a bomb-proof shelter under the ground floor. The shelter is equipped with radio, telephone, water and food, and has air-locked doors and gas-filtered ventilation. It won’t be long now before all the great financiers will have their dens and holes, like rabbits and groundhogs.

Questioning the Value of Gas Masks

OF LATE there have been statements in the British press that gas masks are of no more than bowler hats. This is denied. Chemical gas masks contain chemicals which neutralize, but a separate kind of mask is needed for each kind of gas. The absorbent gas masks pass the gas through wool pads or charcoal, to filter out the gas.

Blindness After Twenty Years

LACHRYMATORY gas, highly irritating to soldiers’ eyes in the World War, but never supposed to produce permanent disabilities, is now causing blindness after twenty years. In the last five years 190 men in Britain have gone blind from the effects of this experience in France in 1914-1918.

A Survey of All British Caves

ALL caves in Great Britain are being examined and made ready for what the Hitlerites are again referring to as “der tag”. The hope is that at least some of the population will escape strangulation by poison gas.

Grotesque Misconduct in High (?) Places

THE League of Nations has all the buildings and other machinery needed to create an impression of great respectability, but it has been the scene of great disorder. Herr Greiser, Nazi president of the Danzig senate, prefaced a violent speech by giving the Nazi salute to Mr. Eden, the president of the Council, and then, taking offense at the laughter that broke out in the galleries, turned to the international Press and put his thumb to his nose, whereupon some of the journalists were restrained only with difficulty from throwing him out bodily. Another instance happened in the English House of Commons. This time Mr. Eden, foreign secretary, stood up and said solemnly that “the league of nations must go on”, and was interrupted by loud, spontaneous roars of laughter.

A Treaty a Month Executed

IN THE first eighteen years after the Treaty of Versailles (which was to end all European wars and even misunderstandings) there have been executed 250 pacts, treaties, protocols, agreements, covenants, etc. If you figure it up, this is a little better than one a month; one every 26 days, or thereabout. Maybe you wonder what became of those treaties. Well,—they were executed. That’s the right word. That is all those that signed them ever intended to do with them. Mussolini even sneers when he signs, having not the least regard for his signature to anything. Hitler is even farther down the scale. He lets it be understood at all times that such things as truth, justice, honor, righteousness, manliness, decency, he holds in utter contempt.

Desertions from the League

TAPAN, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Paraguay, Nicaragua, have left the League of Nations, and Chile is expected to follow suit.

Cruel Killing of Montenegrins

TVTEAR Podgoritza, Yugoslavia, Montenegrins ' were having a funeral of one of their number who had been permitted to starve to death. A peasant was speaking at the graveside, reproaching the government for having permitted such cruelty, when gendarmes opened fire, killing two of the mourners.

Some Results of the Leagues Activities

IT IS not quite true that the League of Nations has been a total failure. It stopped two wars, one between Greece and Bulgaria and one between Yugoslavia and Hungary. It keeps the world posted on bubonic plague, smallpox, cholera and leprosy, malaria and yellow fever. It issues reports on drug smuggling, the traffic in women and children, public finance, banking^ prices, trade, production, navigation and kindred subjects. It is not yet entirely dead.

No Room for God

REFERRING to the demands of Fascism, Nazism and Bolshevism, that the State is all in all, Reverend F. A. Iremonger, of Britain, said, ironically:

There has always been, in “Christendom”, a place of honor both for God and Caesar. But there is no room for God in the new dispensations, unless He is prepared to dance to Caesar’s tune. If God disagrees with Caesar—then God must go.

The-German Embassy in London

THE German embassy in London, being rebuilt at an expense of half a million dollars, will have a throne room capable of seating 1,000 persons at a time, and will have a powerful broadcasting station, technically in German territory, from which directions can be issued in the projected fight to make Britain into a Fascist colony. It may work; but if it doesn’t, what a showdown impends!

Fascists in London

TpASCISTS in London showed the same cowardice and lack of manhood as everywhere else. One hundred of them invaded the Jewish quarter and hurled flaming torches into the shops. The Jews bolted their doors, and quenched the torches with buckets of water. It will be hard to see Britain fall to the Fascist level.

Police Also Getting “Jumpy”

THE police of Britain are getting “jumpy” as well as those elsewhere. In a single year the number of persons arrested on suspicion increased from 2,398 to 4,384, and of these the number dismissed increased from 623 to 1,449.

Wandering Sickness in Britain

IN THE flu epidemic Britain was not spared any more than the United States. In the process of recovery many Britishers have been affected with wandering sickness, leaving home and unable to find their way back. One wealthy man upon complete recovery found that he had been hoboing with tramps, jumping freight trains, etc. Recovery of memory is instantaneous.

Assyrians Still Without a Home

IN THE World War the Assyrians, then Turkish subjects, aided the British cause and were useful to Britain in breaking up the old Turkish empire. After the war, unwelcome in Turkey, they were tolerated in Iraq, but since 1933, when many of them were massacred by the Iraqians, they seem not to be wanted anywhere. It is the plain duty of Britain to take care of these people that were encouraged to fight Britain’s battles in the World War.

Old-Age Pensions in Britain

IN Britain persons 70 years of age, and without incomes, receive pensions of $2.50 weekly, payable at the post office of their choice. It is not required of such persons that they, at any time, shall contribute to the pension fund. Contributors receive their pensions at age 65.

Probation Emptied British Prisons

IN THIRTY years the population of British prisons has fallen from 180,000 to 60,000, with more than half the prisons closed for lack of tenants. It is generally conceded that this result was brought about by a judicious and honest use of the probation system.

Ireland Wants Tourists

IT IS a good sign that Ireland wants tourists.

It is claimed that more than 20,000 Americans visited the island this year, with Britons in larger numbers than ever before. Ireland has many lovely scenes for the tourist’s eye, and a healthy influx of strangers is educational.

European Nations Have All Kinds of Money

THE European nations that could not or would not pay their debts to the United States, or even pay a part of the interest on them, are spending billions to rearm. In the next five years Britain is expending $2,500,000,000 on the navy, the air force and the army.

WHO ARE THE BIGOTS?

THE Roman Catholic Press and the Hierarchy loudly proclaim that Judge Rutherford is a bigot. However, just calling a man a bigot doesn’t prove that he is one. It might be enlightening to those men to find out what a bigot really is. A bigot is one who is intolerant of anything conflicting with his own opinion, one who is blindly and obstinately attached to some creed, practice or ritual. One who can present authoritative proof for his statements is not a bigot. Now we ask in all sincerity, if the Roman Catholic clergy are telling the truth, why won’t they come out in the open and meet Judge Rutherford in a public debate and prove their statements? A man or organization of men who can’t back up their statements, who won’t listen to or consider any proof that exposes their false teachings, but resort to threats of boycott, violence and other unlawful means to try to shut up their opponents, such are true bigots in every sense of the word.

Are you going to let these bigots keep you from finding the truth? Do you endorse such methods of intimidation?

All honest people will be glad to consider with an unbiased mind both sides of the question. We invite you to read the following booklets by Judge Rutherford, examine the proof from God's Word submitted therein, and then determine who are the real liars and frauds. These seven booklets, UNCOVERED, PROTECTION, ARMAGEDDON, INTOLERANCE, CHOOSING, WHAT IS TRUTH? and WHAT YOU NEED, each 64 pages, will be mailed anywhere on receipt of a contribution of 25c. If you have them already, why not send them to some friend or acquaintance? Use the coupon below for convenience.

The Watch Tower, 117 Adams St., Brooklyn, N. Y.

Please send the booklets Uncovered, Protection, Armageddon, Intolerance, Choosing, What Is Truth? and What You Need, all by Judge Rutherford, to the following address. Enclosed find a contribution of 25c to aid in distributing similar publications.
