ONE OF THE MOST daring and largest robber- ies in Shanghai history was carried out last night when seven armed bandits, both Chinese and Ja- panese, entered the palatial apartment of Capt. and Mrs. W.

The robbers entered the apartment when the owners and a visitor, Mrs. K. Harrison, were getting ready to go to a show.

means
SOUND TEETH LATER
As soon as baby's first teeth appear, den- tists tell you to brush them at least twice a day with Kolynos...
Kolynos not only keeps the teeth clean and the delicate gums healthy but protects the teeth from the germs that cause tooth decay no ordinary toothpaste can give this protection.
Brush your baby's teeth regularly with Kolynos and keep them clean and free from infection.
The Kolynos habit, started early in life, helps insure sound teeth later. Children love its pleasant, refreshing taste.
