BRITAIN TO RETURN FOOCHOW
TO CAVE-DWELLING ERA IF WAR COMES
London, May 15.
Thousands of Britons probably will become "cave- men" again in the event of another European war.
(Old smugglers' caves in the chalk cliffs near Dover and Folkestone are being examined now by experts as possible air-raid shelters.
Other caves in the cliffs at Margate, Ramsgate and Southend on both sides of the River Thames estuary also will almost certainly be used again as refuges, as they were in the great war when these towns were subjected to intensive air-raids.
Experts are studying the possibi- lity of gas-proofing these caves, where thousands could and shelter during rakis.

You will find there is nothing like Kolynos that acts so quickly and safely to make dull stained teeth white and brilliant. Its surging, invigorating foam reaches every pit and crevice. It removes ugly stains and destroys dangerous mouth germs that cause tooth decay.
Try Kolynos-its clean, cool taste is de- lightfully refreshing. It is most econom. ical too-because you use only, half as much as ordinary toothpastes. One-half inch on a dry brush is enough.
