Constructive F.arlesa Independent THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER 8IX SUNDAY. AUGUST 7, 1932 1 Praises Prohibition From Dixie To Hollywood Studios Civilization Is Fine For Some Folks But It's A Toothache For Eskimos ,4 il, i I 1 I i X-V A UPSHAWDiSGUSSES PIJIFOipRYS Civilisation is fast Introducing toothaches among the Eskimo. Such 1 the conclusion drawn from Smithsonian Institution studies of the teeth of living and dead Alaskan natives which show an apparent direct relationship between dental caries and contact with whites. The effect is believed to be due largely to the white man's food rather than to race mixture, since almost no difference Is found between half-breeds and full-blooded Eskimos who are In close contact with the white settlements. The field observations were mad by Henry B.

Collins, of the Smithsonian Institution staff, who examined teeth in settlement extending along the Arctic coast from Bristol Bay north ward, where dwell the most primitive grcup of Eskimos remaining In Alaska, and around the Seward Peninsula, where the natives have been in contact with the whites for a generation or more and have considerably modified their ways of Hie. The natives least In contact with white civilisation were on Nunlvak Island and at Hooper Bay on the mainland near by. The region has no resources that might bring about commercial activity, and is seldom visited by ships because of low water and high winds. The diet mainly fish, seal, walrus, birds, and white whale has remained unchanged. Among 25 men, women, and children at Hooper Bay, Mr.

Collins did not find a single case of dental carles. At Nunlvak Island there were only two eases among 66 persons. In contrast he found tooth decay afflicting seven out of nine natives living at Nome, the largest white settle ment in Northern Alaska, who have al-' most completely given up their old mode of life. Hits Children First Interesting results were obtained en King Island, a small rocky Islet lying off the coast of the Seward Peninsula, whence, for the past 10 or 12 years, almost the entire population has gone to Nome to work during the Summer. Examinations of the children showed that all but one had decayed teeth.

The single exception was a child who never had been off the Island. But of the adults, curiously enough, only one was se afflicted. The change to the white man's ways evidently is much more dis astrous for children. "Boots" Mallory (left) and Nell O' Day (right) have found stage role the mean of entering Hollywood.

Hoover To Learn He Is Nominated By G. O. P. At Notification Thursday Battered Body Of Recluse Buried As Police Hunt Fingerprint Clues A. DEMANDS STATE SCHOOLS BE KEPT OPEN Quit Quibbling; Pass Taxes On Incomes And Sales, Says Judge Leon McCord BALANCE BUDGET AND SETTLE DEBTS, IS PLEA cooperation of the Montgomery Parent-Teacher Association in a reasonable program to balance the State's budget, provide for payment of the current debt and continue the schools la operation wu pledged yester-day at a meeting called to con-alder the Stale schoo) problem.

At the tame hour, almllar meetings were being held In all co untie of the State, It in announced by Mrs. James FltU Hill, president of the Montgomery Association, who presided. Between 300 and 400 attended the meeting and were told by Judge Leon McCord that everybody knows that Alabama must pay its debts; that the only ay to pay debts la through taxes and reduced expenses of government, and that there la no alternative. First be declared, the State must balance its budget. "We are not confronted now with solving the school situation," he said.

"Before we get to this we must solve other problems. Alabama has an outstanding debt of between 118,000,000 and (20,000,000 and we have got to take care of this before we can even talk about the schools." Most Pay With Taxes The debt, he said, must be taken care of by taxes "and you've got to reach down Into your pockets and pay it." The minute the debt is taken care of, he said, then It will be possible to go on with the school program. Judge McCord declared the public was not Interested now to how the debt was created or who was to blame. We are not Interested In whether or not somebody dislikes the Governor or the Governor's appointees and we 'are not Interested In any Senate he said. "We want the budget of the State balanced and we want these school to open." He advocated first the cutting down of the "great overhead the Legislature has created and the sweeping out of every useless Job In cutting salaries, he said, the cutting should begin at the top but declared "we would not be going forward If we cut every little clerk- or teacher's pay." "Let's start with the Governor," he said, "and cut all salaries paid to the heads." The whole trouble with the State and with its citizens, he declared, Is that all have been extravagant.

He advocated beginning with an Income tax and if that isn't sufficient to levy a sales tax to take care of the debt. Menace to be Averted If the schools In Alabama should close for four years, he declared. It would mean the blocking of progress for a generation. He paid tribute to the work In behalf of the schools done by the late Dr. B.

J. Baldwin and other leaders and urged that the structure they have builded be allowed to stand. Judge McCord closed with a eulogy of America's greatness and declared "that the man doesn't live who I am afraid to attack this morning If be stands In the children's way." Mrs. T. J.

Rowell, of Belma, president of the Alabama American Legion Auxiliary, pledged the support of her organization to the Parent-Teacher Association's fight to keep the schools open. Mrs. James Pitts Hill was chosen chairman of the legislative committee by those who attended the meeting and authorized to name four other members to serve with her. The Legislative committee will keep In touch with activities of the Legislature as they affect the schools. Resolutions Approved The resolutions calling upon the Legislature for constructive action were passed unanimously and were submitted by Mrs.

8. D. Winn. The resolutions follow! "Whereas, the people of Alabama have within recent years made notable Improvement In their public through the lengthening of terms, the building of schoolhouses, the provision for transportation, and the Improvement of the quality of their teachers, and, "Whereas, the present uncertain, Indefinite, and chaotic conditions with reference to the opening of schools In the Fall of the current year threaten to undermine the morale of our people and to destroy quarter of a century of progress, now "Be It that the parent-teacher associations of Montgomery County heartily endorse the Governor's call to the Legislature of Alabama to assemble In extraordinary session; and that we emphasize the provision in the Governor's call whereby arraneements for the payment of past due salaries of teachers and plans for the opening of the schools of the county this Fall may be made. "Be It further resolved, that the attention of those In authority be called to the complications that must inevitably result from the failure of the State to provide for the employment of Its teacher and from an Increase In Juvenile delinquency resulting from the failure to attend school of more than children of school age, and for the absolute necessity of speedily removing by legislation any possibility of such a disastrous state of elfalrs.

"Be It further resolved, that we stand ready to cooperate with the governor and the Legislature In any reasonable movement looking to the balancing of the budget through reduction of expenses of government which shall include al! activities and services for which the State spend available revenues." Adding Machine, Briar Pipe Stolen Three burglaries were reported to police yesterday. A house owned by 3. W. Powell at 709 Goode Street was entered and a heater removed.

A gaming table, formerly the property cf tie famous Samuel Pepvs, has been Triir.d. it ms designed for chess and LEA IS ACCUSED OF Tennessee Nominee Says Idea Of Contest Originated With Colonel NASHVILLE, Aug. "my rights a the Democratic nominee" for governor. State Treasurer Hill McAlester in a formal statement today charged that threat of a contest originated In "fertile brain" of Col. Luke Lea.

Previously, Sam Carmack, campaign manager for Lewis 8. Pope, a clerk, second to McAllster in unofficial returns said Pope would present charges of fraud to the State Primary Board when it meets here Aug. 24 to certify nominations and would ask that the Board throw out the vote in all precincts "tainted with this revolting fraud." However, Carmack said any announcement as to whether an actual contest was planned would be "premature." McAlester's statement said that Judge Malcolm R. Patterson, of Memphis, who finished third in the race, and to whom opponents credited support of the so-called Lea-Horton machine, had been "deliberately betrayed" by Lea, Patterson yesterday said he would support Fope in a contest. "Mr.

Pope owes it to his friends and good government not to recognize the nomination of Mr. McAlester." said Patterson. "It is vitiated by fraud of the grossest character." "I am not in the least disturbed and shall not be intimidated by Luke Lea's threats to contest a Democratic nomination which I have fairly and honestly won," McAlester's statement said. "This threat of congest originated with Luke Lea. "Gov.

Patterson was deliberately betrayed by Lea In the contest which has Just closed, and no doubt thousands of Patterson's friends throughout Tennessee will be surprised to learn that he has taken up the cry of contest originating in Lea's fertile brain in his endeavor to destroy the Democratic party Instead of standing by me as the nominee of the party In the primary In which we are both candidates." McAlester asserted, however, "that I accept the challenge" if Col. Lea "proceeds now with his work of threatened destruction" and if either of his opponents should "follow the leadership of Lea In his efforts to destroy the Democratic party in Tennessee." The statement claimed a plurality over Pope of approximately 12,000 and one of more than 50,000 over Patterson. STOCKS SWEEP UPWARD BEFORE TRADING FRENZY (Continued From Page 1) aggregate quoted value some while listed bonds have appreciated more than $3,000,000,000 since their June 1 lows. The Bond Market, which had been hesitant during the previous session, forged ahead again, with utilities and rails in the lead, a number of issues showing net gains of $10 to $40 per bond of $1,000 par value. Commodities were also strong.

Wheat gained 2 to nearly 3 cents, and cotton nearly $1 a bale. The turnover in the Stock Exchange for the two-hour session was 2,718,539 shares, which would have meant a turnover of more than 6,700,000 shares for a full five-hour day. The stock ticker fen several minutes behind transactions on the floor. It was the busiest Saturday since May 3, 1930, when 4,867,530 shares were traded, and on that date, prices were falling Instead of advancing. The complete change of heart toward American securities in the principal capital centers of Europe, was perhaps as responsible as any one influence for the further buying frenzy.

Brokerage quarters buzzed with excited gossip of pools and rather flambuoyant rumors of various measures which were being, or might be, taken to restore prosperity. The rumors Involved, among other things, President Hoover's acceptance speech due next week, pools to boost commodity prices and plans to revive trade with Soviet Russia. Some conservative banking quarters warned that there was danger that the speculative enthusiasm might reach unwarranted extremes. In the long run actually damage the cause of business recovery. Among the day's tangible developments was the disclosure that the New York clearing house banks had appointed a committee to work on the proposal of Eugene Meyer that the banks together with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation form a credit pool to provide Junds to fabricators with which to buy raw materials.

It was said an announcement might be made next week. The weekly report of freight car loadings showed the moderate gain of 9,557 cars, to an aggregate of 510,687 car, or 251,131 below the like week of last year. In the foreign exchange market, the British pound sterling again declined in terms of the dollar, presumably reflecting further transfer of funds to New York. The pound closed at $3.45 1-2, off 1 1-8 cents. The French franc was a shade lower for a time, but recovered later.

A number of New York banks were said to be advising their out-of-town correspondents to use the higher prices to eliminate doubtful items from the investment portfolios, and generally to get their investments In ship shape. Sharpest gains in the market appeared in issues in which there was believed to have been a large short interest. It was notable that many Issues have more than doubled in price in the past several week. Bears pointed out that a number of Issues which have about doubled in price were shares of companies which were still operating In red ink, but this argument was not taken seriously in bullish quarters, where it was frankly admitted that the rally was based chiefly on future prospects rather than present conditions. Grains Reach New High As Traders Bid Prices Up I A O.

Aug. JP Grains reached new high grounds today in the upward movement of prices during the last few days. Traders with eyes on the New York Stock Exchange ticker bid the price of September wheat more tban 2 1-2 cent a bushel above Friday'! closing quotations. The Board of Trade closed with the figure at 64 1-2 cents, highest since early June. Corn sold from one to 1 1-4 cents a bushel higher than yesterday.

Oats also advanced. Oaina of the cereals were accompanied by a statement from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange that butter values had advanced $4,000,000 since June 30, and that fanners were getting eight cents more a pound than a montii ago. November futures sold today at 21 1-4 cents, a rise of four cent a pound sine June. August futures have climbed five cents. Talk of Federal activity in Government owned wheat was credited with pushtng wheat' advance.

The Reconstruction Finance Corporation may back a pool to buy about 30,000.000 bushels from the Federal Farm Board, reports said. The market ignored doubts of its ability to carry out the plan. The usual weekend profit taking failed to lower prices and they closed at the day's high level. FRAUD Ifl ELECTION lira on St. Lawrence Island.

They tat a considerable quantity of whit man' food. Nearly 60 per cent. It was found, showed signs of dental carles. The pre-i ponderance occurred among the adoles cents and young adults. Only on cat was found In an individual out of seven abovt the age of 31.

The principal center cf whit popular tlon on the Arctic coast I Kotzebue. Here 51 per cent of the Eskimo population examined had carious teeth. "The conclusion to be drawn from these results," Mr. Collins reports, "1 that dental carle among the Alaska Eskimo 1 directly correlated with their proximity to white settlements. Tho number of carious teeth to the individual ha a similar distribution." The examination shows carles to have Increased materially among the Eskimo since they, have corns into contact with civilization.

Since their food habits are known to have changed, there can be no doubt that diet Is the predisposing factor, whatever may have been the Immediate cause of the carious lealcru. Native Diet Harmless "For as long as the Eskimos adhered to their native diet consisting mainly of sea mammals and fish rich in the essential food elements and requiring hard usage of the teeth and Jaws, dental decay and crowding of the teeth were practically unknown. This was true of the Eskimo as a whole prior to white contact and is true today cf those living in the most remote settlements. Deterioration of the teeth begins when the native diet Is supplemented by soft manufactured foods, and Increases In direct proportion to the extent that these are consumed." This statement holds true, Mr. Collins points out despite the fact that the teeth of primitive Eskimo adults are greatly worn down because considerable sand becomes mixed with their food and grinds on the teeth.

Actually, It is shown by a study made by Marcus 8. Goldstein, of the Smithsonian staff, of teeth from skeletons in the National Museum collection, tho primitive Eskimo enjoyed the least Incidence of caries of any racial group. Even when It occurred, he found, tho progress was very slow as compared to tnat common among wniie races, in most cases, he found, the teeth were greatly wrrn, partly because of the use of the teeth in preparation of skin, but wear around ban. President Hoover tonight divided his time between rest and work in the quiet and cool of bis Rapidan mountain camp. Leaving the White House during the mid-afternoon after a day's work upon routine governmental business and the task of completing his acceptance speecu, the President ana first laay had an uneventful but longer than usual drive to then- Blue Ridge Mountain retreat.

Unusually heavy traffic on the Virginia roads slowed down the presidential party. Arriving at the cam well before sundown, the Chief Executive found tne atmosphere so cool in contrast to the heat In Washington that he ordered tne urea to be lighted in the huge open fire place of the camp's "Town Hall," and in some of the other cabins. Alter an early dinner he chatted for a while with his guests before retiring to his own cabin, Mr. Hoover had an opportunity to discuss the section concerning the tit Lawrence waterway project, probably to oe included in his acceptance speech, wltn Hanford MacNlder, American minister to Canada. MacNlder talked with the President about the waterway during the morning at the White House.

He was active in concluding ths treaty with Canada. Although printed proofs of the acceptance address to be delivered next Thursday night have been made, the Chief Executive desires to do considerable revising, and aides of the presidential camp cud not expect him to complete tnis before next Wednesday, Other guests included E. A. van Val-kenberg, Philadelphia publisher, and Mrs. van Vaikenberg, and Charles Hiobard, Spokane, industrialist Lawrence Hichey, one of the President's secretaries and Dr.

Joel T. Boone, the White House physician, also were present at the camp. Although Mrs. Hoover had spent three weeks at the mountainrretreat- driving back to the White House with Mr. Hoover last Monday night, she returned with him again for an indefinite stay.

The President plans to return to Washington Sunday night or early Monday morning. Today's Radio Program SUNDAY, AUGUST 1 Program! and nation Uata nibjaot Chans. P.M. tinleaa indicated. (Bjr the Auoclated Fma) KBC-WEAF 1:10 Orchestra Gems, Sslolat.

Her family had moved to Los Angeles when she was still a child, but her hopes centered on the stage. "I thought I'd like pictures some day, but wanted to be an actress before I tried," she says. Began In Vaudeville She began a a dancer in vaudeville and was signed for a New York revue when the director came to Hollywood for "The King of Jazz," The revue troupe came, too.

and that was Nell's Introduction to the cameras. Later her work with Joe Cook In the stage musical, "Fine and brought her offers of film contracts. She came to Hollywood and goes to work Immediately as leading lady to Will Rogers in "Jubilo." Officers said Dana, known In the neighborhood as "the wild man" because he-has allowed his beard and hair to remain uncut for a number of years, told them that he and Miss Dockery "had differences with Miss Merrill" because Miss Dockery's herd of goats had grazed on the plantation lands of the latter woman. Dana whose plantation adjoins that of Miss Merrill said he heard two shots fired Thursday morning but did not investigate. The sheriff said Miss Dockery confirmed his story.

John Gleger, a logger, arrested yesterday in the case, has been released. Officers said he admitted that a coat found at the Merrill home belonged to him, but said that he had left it in a cabin he had abandoned several days "before. The sheriff said he believed the slaying was prompted by a robbery attempt as dresser drawers in the house had been hurriedly ransacked and the mattress of the aged recluse's bed had been slashed, presumably in a search for money. Miss Merrill, daughter of a former ambassador to Belgium, had lived in seclusion on her estate for years. She is reputed to be wealthy.

Dana said today that he was a nephew of Charles Dana, pioneer American journalist and former publisher of The New York Sun, and asserted that he is distantly related to Charles Dana Gibson, well known artist Miss Merrill is survived by a sister, Catherine Merrill, who lives in Switzerland; three nephews, Ayres P.

Anti-Saloon League activities this year have been devoted chiefly to the collection and dissemination to local dry groups of information on the prohibition views of congressional primary candidates. But League officials are looking fur ther ahead than the election.

Both party planks would have any new amendment submitted to State conventions instead of Legislatures for ratification. Edward B. Dunford, league counsel, Is makins- an exhaustive legal study and analysis of this method of ratification-one which never before has been tried. He Is delving into the relation of Fed eral and State powers over sucn conventions, seeking the answer to such questions as the qualification of candidates, whether thev shall be elected at large or by districts, whether Congress should appropriate for expenses of such conventions and whether such conventions can be compelled bv Congress. "This Question mav end ud in the Supreme Court some day," Dunford said today.

"Most every other constitutional amendment if ratified, has gone there. Gregory Deplores Note-Issuing Act WTLLIAMSTOWN. MASS, Aug. 6 JPl The proposal In the last of the so-called reconstruction acts to Increase the note-issuing privilege of national banks by $1,000,000,000 was deplored a "terribly depressing" today by Dr. T.

E. Greg, ory of the London School of Economic "It seems to me every indicative of the demoralization, not of the public but of the government that It should be deliberately fall back on an antiquated method of allowing the volume of currency In this country to expand," he told the institute of politics. At the same time he said the faults of the banking system in the United States are commonly known to all economists Evidently referring to the recent organization of a $30,000,000 whest por under the direction of Arthur W. Cut-ton of Chicago, Dr. Gregory asked: "What is the news that so Inspired the stock market yesterday morning, and will presumably inspire it to a greater extent today? "It is the news that with the encouragement of certain governmental agencies it is proposed to repeat on a smaller scale, 1 years after the failure of the Federal Farm Board, exactly the same policy the Federal Farm Board followed until It was swept out of existence as a stabilizing organisation." At no time in the test 19 yean," also said, "have governments proved themselves fit to carry out their task.

They could not preserve peaca 1914. They could not make a decent peace treaty in 1928. They have not been able to settle economic problem arising out cf that peace treaty to this day." 'Wee Willie' Would Eliminate Alcohol From American Vocabulary CHICAGO, Aug. 6. VPh-The leader of the National Prohibition Party a slight, partly crippled, little man of 66 years outlined today a program which he said would make the word alcohol obsolete in the American vocabulary.

His eyes shining with the Intensity of a sealot, William D. TJpshaw, the Prohibition Party's candidate for President of the United States, declared the Eighteenth Amendment is the most noble part of the Constitution and the Volstead Act the greatest law on the statute books. "America needs and wants prohibition," TTpshaw declared, lowering himself Into a hotel chair with a pair of crutches WhicVhe never is without. "Prohibition must be enforced. Even If we used a hundred million dollars a year, the Navy, the Army; and the Marines, the enforcement of strict prohibition would be cheap." Upshaw served two terms, from 1919 to 1927, in Congress and has devoted the whole of his life to the cause of prohibition.

While still a young man, he-injured his spine in a fall on his farm in Georgia. The next seven years of his life he spent in bed but during those seven years he wrote a book on prohibition which, together with funds derived from lectures delivered from a wheel chair, plad his way through college. "I can answer every argument which any vet can make against the merits of present prohibition laws," he said today. "And my answers will be. sufficient to convince any Impartial listener.

"The first factor In the method of making liquor unknown in the United States would be total abstinence by those who have sworn to do so in their oaths of office upon entering public life. So should those in private life abstain, if for nothing else as an example to American youth. i "Our present prohibition laws are perfect. It's the enforcement of them that Is bad. We have good administrators, but the Government doesn't give them one-tenth enough money.

A few wet drinking politicians In powerful places see to that. "They tell us prohibition has brought gangster-bootleg chains. I'll show them proof there were thousands of speakeasies, then known as 'blind before national prohibition ever was dreamed of as a possibility. "Some of them say liquor would bring prosperity. My answer to that is "you can't balance the budget with cork For every dollar the liquor interests paid the Government in taxes they'd take 100 from the American public" As to the chances for election of himself and his fellow Prohibition Party candidates In November, Upshaw refuses to make predictions except that "we'll get a lot of votes If all the drys follow their convictions." Illinois Miner, Former Depositor, Quizzed By Taylorville Authorities TAYLORVILLE, ILL, Aug.

Though his death had not been definitely established, two men were charged In warrants today with kidnaping and slay ing John B. Colgrove, former president of the defunct J. B. colgrove ana company. State bank.

Meanwhile, authorities' continued feverish hunt over two counties for the body of the former banker, whose insti tution failed three years ago with loss of more than 1 1.000.000. Officers, and neighbors rushed to his small home late last night after hearing his screams and found a room in great disorder and some of the furniture blood be -spattered. Neighbors said they am the banker dragged by two men to a parked automobile.

Gammatonl was arrested at his home while washing what police believed was blood from his automobile. In his house was found Colgrove' wallet. Gammatonl told police blood on his clothing came from rabbits he had killed. Two year ago, officers said, Gammatonl fired twice at Colgrove but missed. The bank president refused to prosecute the man who had lost 95,000, his life's savings, through the bank's failure.

Pouzzouti, also miner, admitted, officers said, he had stayed at Oammatonl's home for two months although Gammatonl denied knowing him.

As funeral services were held here today for Miss Jane aristocratic gentlewoman of the old South, officers redoubled their efforts to unravel the mystery surrounding her' death.

Anti-Saloon League's Position On Campaign May Be Defined WASHINGTON, Aug. Two day after President Hoover's acceptance speech, the attitude of the Anti-Saloon League in the 1932 campaign will be discussed publicly for the first time by F. Scott McBride, general superintendent. League officials said today that McBride, now vacationing, will speak at Winona Lake, Ind, on Saturday, Aug. 13.

They expect him then to' give an interpretation of the prohibition Issue as outlined in the party platform and statements of the respective candidates. While board action would be required to put the league formally on record, McBrlde's utterances largely will sound the keynote for whatever position may be taken officially. The league supported Mr. Hoover In 1928. But since this year's conventions its public views have been confined to concurrence in two statements issued by the national prohibition board of strategy analyzing the platforms and records of president Hoover and Gov.

Franklin D. Roosevelt. "During the presidency of Mr. Hoover," one of these statements said, "Federal enforcement of the prohibition laws has steadily advanced and has attained a higher degree of efficiency than in any other period since the adoption of the eighteenth amendment In his acceptance speech he will doubtless deal further with this subject" Dr. Edwin C.

Dinwiddle, executive secretary of the board of strategy, has said his group also may take a more pronounced stand between the parties after the Hoover speech. Meanwhile, he made public an analysis of New York's wet and dry votes during the past 12 years, covering presidential, gubernatorial and United States senatorial elections. This tabulation. Dr. Dinwiddle said, "was known to certain leaders at the Republican national convention" and also is familiar to officials close to the President.

"The most significant fact about the analyst of the New York elections i the sorry showing made by the Republican for the past 12 year in almost exact harmony with the wetness of the Republican nominee and the Republican Legislature," Dinwiddle summary said. "The record i one that he who runs may read. Even a child will not take as many rifks with fire a the New York Republican havi. been willing to take In toying with the liquor cause." M'BRIDE EXPECTED TO SPEAK SATURDAY.
