TODAY and WAR . . ? then and now Maine and New Brunswick are going to join this year in peace fully celebrating the 100th an niversary of what I used to hear old people in Maine refer to as "The Third War with Great Bri tain," or oftener as "The Greas Madawaska war." N'o blood was spilled, but thousands of militia men from Maine and Massachu- ' setts were marched to the border, over a 140-mile road cut through tlje forests from Bangor to Houl-, ton, and for more t'han two years; were encamped on the banks of' (he Madawaska River, facing Can adian militia on the opposite bank. ( Before the "war" was ended by territorial concessions on both sides and the fixing of the inter national boundary line, Washing ton had appropriated ten million dollars and sent General Winfield Scott to the border to take com mand of 50,000 Federal troops; which were promised. If needed, i My grandfather, John Calvin Stoekbridge, a captain in the1 Maine militia, was one of those encamped on t'he Madawaska front. He and the other officers . received bounties of quarter-sec tions of Government land west of, the Mississippi. My grandfather! Bold his free land to a speculator named Briggs, who bought up most of what is now bhe site of' the city of Des Moines, Iowa, from the militiamen. TEETH ? ? ? ? decay causes , American dentists are the best ' in the world because the American teeth are the worst in the world and need more attention than those of other peoples. Too much sugar, not enough vitamins, cal ories, calcium and phosphorus, in our national diet is the cause of , our bad teet'h, says Dr. Russell VV., Bunting, ol the University of Michigan's school of dentistry. America consumes two thousand million pounds of candy a year, i besides the sugar we eat in other food That is more than fifteen . pounds of candy a year for every man, woman and child, white black or IITdian. , : Dr. ? Bunting tried an experi ment in which he kept 300 child- , ren on a diet containipg no sugar for a period of months. ^ey ! maintained perfect health and j showed no signs of tooth decay, while another group, allowed to eat what they pleased, 8U?ered bad general health and all had de cayed teeth. Lactic acid, which develops a germ that attacks the roots of the dental ills but for many cases of ( teeth, is responsible not only tor heart, kidney and Joint diseases. ? ? ? ?TEAH ...? motive power Thirty-six years ago, on June 15 1902, the New York Central and the Pennsylvania railroads inaugu rated their famous fast trains be tween New York and Chicago, the ??Twentieth Century Limited' and the "Broadway Limited." The twenty-hour schedule of both trains 960 miles on the Central and 908 miles on the Pennsy, was the fastest long distance time table in the world at t'hat time. Since then "streamlined trains drawn bv Diesel-engined locomo tives, have been introduced on long runs on several western rail roads. Some eastern roads have put on fast, streamlined trains, using steam for motive power. On June 15, this year, both the Twen tieth Century and the Broadway Limited will start new streamlined trains between New York and ' Chicago, on a 16-hour schedule. With six stops on each line, that will call for speeds between sta tions of 100 miles an hour or fas These new trains' will be hauled by Bteam locomotives. Most rail road men still pin their faith on steam as the most economic mo- 1 Mve power and contend that on a perfect roadbed with heavy en ough rails, steam engines can beat diesels over any distance. The new < Chicago-New York trains are the 1 challenge of the ,Iron Horse to its modern rival. ? * ? CARS redesigned For years, ever since motor ve hicles began to appear on the high ways, engineers have been saying that their design was all wrong. The engine ought to be back over the rear axle, where its weight would add tractive power to the rear wheels, and it' could be gear ed direct to the differential in- j stead of having to transmit power through a long drive-shaft. American automobile makers have experimented with rear-en gined cars, but none has been pro duced commercially. Now two European car builders, Wepner Gren of Sweden and Mathia of I France, announce that they are going to begin shortly to make ' such a car in America. England, ' Sweden and France, to sell for $600. ? . .
