SINN FEIN LEADER IN
'FREE STATE CUSTODY
DeValera Arrested at Ennis
as He Was Starting an
Election Speech.
A despatch from Ennis eays:---
Eamonn De Valera, "president of the
Irish Republic," at last is in the cus-
tody of the Free State authorities.
He was arrested here on Wednes-
day as he was starting an election
speech to his constituents'. He had
boldly announced his coming and when
he took his position on the rostrum
in Market Square Free State troops
threw a cordon about him.
The crowd that had gathered had
given him a, tumultuous reception,
and ho had just started his address
In Gaelic when a shout arose, "the

armored cars rattled up to the vicinity
•of the platform. ,
The crowd, made up of men and
women, fled \in all directions as the
soldiers fired several volleys over their
heads. Many of the women fainted.
As several .soldlers rushed toward
the platform, De Valera was seen to
sway and then to collapse. At first it
az thought- the Republican leader
had been shot, but it turned out that
he had only fainted, probably in con-
sequence of a blow he received during
the stampede.
When he recovered De Valera was
assisted down the steps from the plat-
form by troops. He waved aside a
number of persons who were seeming-
ly desirous of attempting -to rescue
him, and surrendered -to an officer,
who recei-ved him with a kindly "Come
along."
When the first panic had ' subsided,
the people who had been about the
platform returned to Market Sqtiare.
Many of them hurled;' insulting epi-
thets at the troops and for a moment
the situation looked ugly: The troops,
however, took things calmly, fixed
their bayonet s and soon restored a
degree a order. Then, with a large
crowd following him, De Valera was
taken to the county 'jail. He offered
no resistance.
A despatch 'from Limerick says
After his dramatic arrest at Ennis,
de Valera was brought to Limerick in

Aristocracy and Proletariat Committee to Co-ordinate
Mingle in Summer Colony Canada's Air Programmes
In a summer community at Little -
stone, Kent, is just now one °I the
most democratic gatheriegs of Eng-
lish lads ever tented tincler the same
canvas, says a London despatch. For
here is the Duke of York's carnp for
boys whom he has brought together
from Eton, Harrow and many other
famous school, and boys from, coal-
fields, shipyards, brass foundries and
othereindustries.
It might, be called the Duke of
York's four hundred -half aristo-
cratic and half proletarian. This i
the third summer that this hiterestin
expermaent has been carried out, and
it has become so successful that un-
doubtedly it will grow.
Before the boys left London the
were entertained at luncheon in Buck
ingham Palace Mews by the Duke o
York. There is a clergyman at th
camp to conduct divine service and an
athletic director. The camp is run on
somewhat military lines. What has
interested observers is the fact that
all idea of class distinction evaporates
with participation in spurts. After
the first few hours the young foundry
lad and his Eton companion are on
the best' of terms.
The increasing demand on the Royal
Canadian Air Force for aerial trans-
portation in connection with forestry,
survey, inspection, and relathd work
and for transportation for those ser-
vices working in the remoter parts of
the country, made it desirable to foini
some organization where the problems
incidental to this work could be con-
sidered, and as a result an inter-
departmental committee on flying op-
erations for the civil services of the
Government of Canada has been con-
stituted
e, The committee will provide for the
interchange of information between
the various services interested, for the
consideration of the results obtained
the ce-oedinatism of flying p,rograins
Y throughout the country and discussion
ie of all matters arising.
I The first meeting of the committee
e was attended by representatives of the
following services:
Dept. of the Interior --Surveys Bur-
eau, Topographical Survey, Forestry
Branch, National Parks Branch, In-
ternatlonel Boundary Comrnission,
North West Territories Branch, Geo-
detic Survey, Dominion leilater Power
Branch, Dominion Observatory.
Dept. of 4.11.res-- Geological Survey.
• Dept. of Ageicuiture--Erttonaologics
al Branch, Experimental F.arms
Branch.
• Dept. of Public Works-Chiel En-
gineer's Branch.
Dept. of Indian Affairs.
The program of flying operations
lfor 1928 was discussed and infer/lea-
tiorrevie given to the meeting as to the
'nature and extent of the operations
contemplated. By giving all services
ei full information as to the whole pro-
gram it has been possible to consoli-
date the work and arrange for co-
operation between the various depart-
ments served, so that operations
undertaken in any district may serve
OS many departments as possible.
- en numerous cases friendships made
at the camp have been maintained
afterward. There is only one general
rule, and that Is "play the game."
The ages of the boys -range from 17
to 19. Working, boys are granted a
special ,leave of absence by their em-
ployees.. so that they can attend the

of an industrial welfare society, but

own closest personal, attention and

bringing boys from the factories and
public schools together, is a inateer for
speculation. The Duke, who is very

Increase in Temperature
on the Faroe Islands
A despathh. from London says: -
The greater -warmth of the water sur-
rounding the Faroe Islands, in the
North Sea, has caused the temper-
ature of the islands to undergo a radi-
cal change during the last few months.
• Scientific investigations have shown
that a warm ocean stream from the
south is encircling the islands and
that great qunntities of strange -fish
scales have been washed ashore. These
scales belong to a type of octopus that
inhabits western European waters,
but hitherto ha e not been known to
exist north of the south coast of
England.
The temperature of the islands has
been steadily increasing and the vege-
tation has grown more rapidly. The
nights, which usually are cold, have
become very mild.
Berlin Has Red oxes
for Aerial ail Matter
A despatch from Berlin says: -
Near the main entrance of the Hotel
Bristol on Meter? den Linden a new
mail box has just been put up. It is
painted bright red and bears the in-
scription in gold ""Teuftpostkasiten"
(air mailbox). Unlike its companion
box of blue, ivhich hangs near by and
receives ordinary mail, this new re-
ceptacle takes only such mail as is
going by the modern way of traveling.
That a large amount of inail is sent
through the air in Germany is evident
from thsefact that the box is emptied
from six to eight times a day. This
patch ofbrIlliant red blazing from the
hotel facade may be seen far down
the street.
The new box has been installed to
meet a present-day need. The public
finds it a great convenience not to
have to go to the postoffice with every
piece of mail they wish to send by air-
plane. At present the box at the Hotel
13ristol is the only one of its kind in
Berlin, but others will soon be pro-
vided.

Natural Resources
Bulletin
The Natural Resources Intel-

ment of the Interior at Ottawa
says:
The products of Canada's
forests are so num.erous and
varied that it is difficult to se-
lect an industry in which some
class of wood product is not an
essential factor. A report re-
cently issued by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics' gives the
value of the &beget, of the Can-
adian sash, door and ?planing
mill industry for 1920 as $53,-
865,666, of which dressed lum-
ber and interior woodwork
formed the greater proportion,
although boxes and packing
cases, butter and cheese boxes,
handles, etc., occupy a promin-
ent place In the outputs On-
tario has the largest number of
plants, 842, of the 810 in Can-
ada, the investment of the prov-
ince in this Indus -try being $22,-
646,512. Ontario employs 5,51.5
of the total of 11,812 engaged,
Ind of the total value of the
Canadian output, 553,366,656,
Ontario produced $29,874,994.
The 5,615 employees in this
secondary industry, together
with their dependents and
others, will thus have, a very
material interest in protecting

men of Ilea ammunced that the
children of the county were short on
six-year molar; and ilie editor of the
Preston County 'Journal dropped
around to the health officer's to find
out what a six-year molar was., This
Is how he tells the story:
When we asked 'the doctor about
molars he plunged into a corner and
emerged with a diagrani of the teeth
of a six-year-old child.
"The six-year molars/' he said, "are
the first permaneet teeth a child get.
You, like most parents and some den-
tists, probable think that 'first' a
plies only to the first milk teeth, Thls
as incorrect.
"Look at this diagram. Start at
the space and collet backward. The
first five teeth are temporary; the
sixth is the first of the permanent
teeth; it is called the slieth-yeer molar
because It comes at about eix years a
age. Note that there are four of
these, one on either side of the lower
jaw and two just above them in the
upper jaw.
"Didn't know that tooth was perm-
anent, did you? Lots of people don't.
Persons who don't know, think it is
a temporary tooth and let it decay?
But It isn't temporary! It dsn'tiiei
take the place of any temporary tooth
nor doe's any other tooth ever take its
place. When it goes it goes forever." ,
"Well," we 'asked "won't it bs
stronger than the temporary teoth and
last longer?"
"It may or it may not," answered
the doctor. "It's a large tooth, but ith
upper surface has a lot of pockets
which invite decay unlees the tooth
kept clean and unless the child is prop-
erly fed." '
"Properly fed?" we asked,
"Exactly," replied the doeiors Chil-
dren can't grow as they should unlese
they are ,properly fed. Their bones,
including their teeth, will be chalky'
and chalky teeth decay quickly. More:
over, six-year molars come just when
the temporary teeth are decaying. Rot
in teeth spreads like rot in a barrel of
apples; and the molars, particularly if
they are chalky, stand 110 more chance
in a mouth full of rotting teeth than
a snowball in July.
"Some of them are allo-wed to decay
along with the temporare teeth and
others are pulled by Parents or by
officious neighbers because 'they aee
only milk teeth.' " Dr. Mustard was
waxing indignant.
We were indignant too! "How can
we help?" we asked. "The public aught
to know about this; and we want to
do our share."• '
"Use your paper." cried the doctor,
eneh-asiastically. "Tell 'ern once, tell
'em twice, tell 'ern over and ever
again. Tell each mother to examine
her child's mouth and count back, to
the sixth tooth. Tell 'ena if it's de-
cayed to hurry that child to the den-
tist. Tell 'em that once gone a six-
year molar is gone forever; and that
these molars are all as important to
the mouth as a key stone is to an arch.
Tell 'ern not to allow six-year molars
to be pulled even if they are decayed,
unless the dentitst insist.s---and, to be
mighty sure that he is a real dentist!"
?So we're tellin' them -that is, YOU.
