Sir There Is something In the lr vlgoratlnK atmosphere of tho Maine woods thnt tends to clear thinking. Thero one may see with a keener perception and speak with moro unbiased expres sion than Is cencrally permitted amid the din nnd dust of the city. That Is why I eagerly look up the statement of Bishop Ithtnclander, Issued on hln return to tho city. Need I say 'hat be fore I had concluded I was startled neveral times? To say with one breath "that Ireland will be free within tho dominion " and tint "tho agitation was a. tempest In a teapot' was startling In tho extreme. Do tempests In teapots achieve a result thnt centuries of a nation's struggle could not gain? The prnls for Lloyd Oeorge was not ntlrely unexpected. There Is no one of us who could not tlnd something to pra'se In the career of that somersault ing statesman. But a few years ago even the Irish praised him. for then his voice was mightily raised In their behalf. It Ih the acrobatic lllp-llops that cause one to turn from the distinguished premier. Evidently the results Of the last two elections !n Ireland Inve not yet reach"il the Maine woods, otherwise the blah, n would net liavo stated that the dts turhance In Ireland Is due to "a few noisy agitators." In these election" the issue, clearly presented, was whether the Irish people wished to remain sub-sen-lent to Oreat Britain. They were conducted bv lawful officers In nn or derly manner, according to the thou law of the land Certain candidates had openly stated that they would regard their succers at the polls as the man date of the Irish people, ordering them to abstain from all political Intercourse with Kngland. They were overwhelm ingly elected It was a tremendous mud slide, ever. Dcrrv otlng with the ma. Jorlty. The Irish people did this under tho right of nations to determine for them selves their political allegiance BUIiop Ithlnelander Is too good an American not to admit that fundamental rliht The Irish set up their own government with Its legislative, executive and Judi cial branches functioning to an extraor dinary extent. British rule In the Island collapsed, being upheld In a small area solely by the bayonets of many thou sands of professional toldlers To ay that this Is the work of "a few noisy agitators" Is unjust as well as untrue COLONIAL Philadelphia, September 21.

Not having such certificates, they were nol qualified to take tholr oath, nnd their oath ! still null and void, it Is nrgued.

Governmental Distinction AT frequent intervals since the war . ended, considerable publicity has been given to tbe government stand ardization of motor trucks. We take this opportunity to point out a salient fact in tins connection. Of all motor vebicles classified as stand ard, four types 2, 3, 4 and 5 are designated as tbe motor truck class. In tbc first tbrce of these types, numely, 2, 3 and 4, several different makes of motor trucks arc listed as standard government equipment in each case. But in type 5 (Five tons and over, including special engi neer trucks) the Muck is the only truck named as standard. in other words, the "Bull Dog" is the one and only truck per manently retained by the U. S. Army as standard heavy-service equipment. The Liberty truck, which was used in the war, was solely the product of a concentrated effort towurd quantity production to meet a great emergency. These fucta nro more or less common knowledge today. It is not generally known, however, thnt shortly after the United States declared war noted government engineers conducted exhaustive motor tests which the Mack engine alone survived. The U. S. Engineers requisitioned such quantities of Mack heavy-duty chassis that our produc tion of all light 'models -1& and 2 tons had to he suspended during the war term, i Our greatest military men state that there is no real difference between military nnd commercial motor transportation. In both classes of service, the nest equipment is necessary to record the greatest possible ton-mileage within a given time. MACK INTERNATIONAL MOTOR TRUCK CORPORATION 2300 CHESTNUT ST.

To combat the film The purpose is to combat film on teeth. Film Is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. Old methods of teeth cleaning did not end it. So month after month, on count less teeth, it may do ceaseless damage. Most tooth troubles are now traced to film. And those troubles, despite the tooth brush, have been constantly in creasing. So film-removal is nowadays considered all-important. It dims and destroys It Is the film-coat that discolors, not the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in con tact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. All statements approved by authorities So dental science has for years sought ways to fight that film. Efficient ways have now been found and proved by con vincing test3. Authorities approve and advise them. And tho teeth of millions are already being protected by them. The methods are combined in a denti frice called Pepsodent.
