WOULD MANUFACTURE OWN
STEEL
Washington, Feb. 21.—Senator
Nye, Republican, North Dakota,
proposed today that the nary
manufacture its own armorplate
and munitions as a means of
meeting the refusal of steel com
panies to bid on material for the
nation's shipbuilding program.
The navy construction plan is
seriously Jeopardised, he declared,
because the steel-makers do not
want to comply with the Walsh-
Heal ey act.
lliis law requires all bidders on
luge government contracts to
meet certain wage and labor stan
dards, including the 40-hour
week.

BOONVILLE MAN IS
VICTIM OF ROBBER
I ' '
Attacked As He Leaves Home
of Frienh At Winston
By Negro
WANTED ONLY MONEY
Roy W. Reece, young Boonville
man, was the victim of a highway
robber about midnight Sunday
night, as he was leaving the home
of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Spencer,
just north of Winston-Salem,
where he had been visiting.
Shortly before midnight a Negro
accosted Mr. Reece as he was
leaving the Spencer home, order
ed him to turn his back and give
up his money. Having feotten the
pocketbook in his posession, the
Negro walked across the highway
and down Polo road, and, it is be
lieved, disappeared into the
woods.
The Negro was hidden in the
shrubbery by the Spencer home
when Mr. Reece came outside to
get into his automobile. The Ne
gro followed his victim to the car
where Mr. Reece turned on the
lights as a precaution. However,
this did not deter the intruder.
He explained that he did not in
tend to hurt anyone, that he sim
ply wanted money.
Mr. Reece put up his hands and
the Negro went through his pock
ets. taking his bill folder which
contained a small amount of
money and an automobile driver's
license. ,
The robber was masked with a
bandanna handkerchief from the
nose downward, Mr. Reece stated.
Sheriff Ernie G. Shore and
deputies were called to the scene
as quickly as possible but some
little delay was occasioned because
of the fact that the officers were
concentrating on a burglary
a mile away.
The
FAMILY DOCTOR
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.)
SPEAKING OF TEETH
I doubt if anyone ever fully ap
preciates his or her teeth quite so
much as when they have just been
all extracted by the dentist. When
the victim struggles through the
agonizing days, trying to "break
in" a set of artificial teeth, he re
members what a treasure he has
lost in his natural teeth; it
were to do over again, he'd treat
those native molars and incisors
with a great deal more of respect
than he did when he had them.
The modern advice as to care
of the teeth is plenty voluminous;
the ether-wave sizzles with the
bray of the charlatan. The hawk
er merciless besets you with his
sugar-coated nostrum, and wise
columnists hand you theories, so
phistries and "isms." Those and
many more. Why should I add my
bit? Wen, common sense at this
time may not be amiss.
There is no law on God's green
earth that requires the obedience
as to how often you shovJd see
your dentist, or how often a man
or child should apply a nostrum to
any part of the mouth, gums,
teeth or throat. Just the simple,
well-known admonition; Be clean,
alert against any harmful prac
tice—and consult your dentist at
the first symptom of rebellion in
the dental region. There is no
minimum or maximum on your
visits to the tooth doctor; go when
you need his services, be it one,
none, or twenty times a year.
Continual and senseless scrub
bing of the teeth is highly capable
of doing grave harm; many a case
of pyorrhea has been set up by
the use of septic tooth brushes;
the enamel of your teeth was not
put there as a field for exploita
tion by the swarm of nostrum
vendors that Infest the land. Na
ture gave us about all we need in
food-elements for keeping the
teeth clean. Look for them and
use them—and dont believe ev
erything you hear.
