A mouth hygiene exhibition is the
latest enterprise of those who were try
ing to awaken the public to the impor-
lance Of giving direct and persistent at
tention to the physical condition of the
individual as q correlative of effort to
improve the public health. The display
was suggested by the success of the
tuberculosis exhibits throughout the
United States, which have been fol
lowed by noticeable awakening of the
people in the interest of personal by
giene. A circular issued i'll promotion
of the mouth hygiene exhibit now in
stalled in the Metropolitan Life building,
New York city, states that if the school
children of Gotham are typical there
must be more than twelve million child
rem in the United States who have de-
fective teeth. with incidental handicaps
such as malnutriton, enlarged glands
and defective breathing. The movement
for improvement Of the mouth is worthy
of encouragement because the mouth is
the avenue by which disease germs get
into the alimentary and pulmonary
tracts. By keeping the teeth in good
condition and by the use of antiseptic
mouth washes for that purpose. the
general health of the people may be
greatly improved. The work done by the
teeth is contributory to processes i'll the
digestive tract. and many cases of chrOn
ic indigestion are doubtless due to insult

British engineers are now preparing
plans for carferry service from Dover to
Calais, and between other ports on the
English channel from which passengers
and freight are transferred from Eng
land to France, and vice versa, by
steamer, thus entailing double handling
Of freight with corresponding addition TO
cost of freighting. There is no reason
at all for fear that such ferry service
will not prove successful. The carferries
of the Great Lakes have longer courses
and rOugher water 20 contend with, at
times, and they have been remarkably
successful. However, the plan Of the
British engineers embraces the transfer
of passenger trains, which will bring into
consideration new problems. Carferrles
can be made large and fast, but they
must have ample width. and width gen
orally increases the tendency to roll.
Therefore the Gualms of the channel
passage would remain for passengers de-
spite their occupation of vehicles for
transit on land.

Blazing forests represent a worse waste
of the country's timber resources than
reckless numbering, because there is not
even q small economic benefit. but on the
contrary a heavy economic loss. when
ever a timbered tract is swept by flames.
The number of forest fires would be very
greatly reduced if there were care in
the disposition of the slashings. Now
nothing is done with them but to leave
them on the ground to dry up and be-
come infammable as finder, spreading
destruction whenever they are ignited as
they often and almost inevitably are. II
those stories of the immense posi-
bilities in the distillation of ethyl alco-
hol from wood are true. why don't the
patentees hurry up and get their pro-
cess into operation =? Then the slashings
might become an industrial factor that
would in many ways increase the com
fort as we'll as reduce the cost Of living.
With cheap alcohol there would be
revolution. in small power machinery as
we'll as in heating, lighting and cooking.
The gasoline manufacturers might not
like it. 1t would compete with gas to
certain extent. But it would be a boon
to the public.

A shipbuilding firm of Verona Maine
has signed with the Minister of Marine
of the Argentine Republic contract for
the construction of a steamer to be used
in Antarctic exploration that in her main
structural features will be similar to the
steamer Roosevelt. which twice success
fully pounded her way through the icy
channels leading to a winter berth on the
shore of the Arctic sea and twice
brought her crew back to civilization in
safety. The new vessel is to cost the
Argentine Republic S15OOOO. and is to
be ''as strong as wood and iron can make
her" The Roosevelt. after which she
is to be patterned, is undoubtedly the
strongest sea going vessel for navigation
in icy waters that was ever constructed.
The Fran. in which Dr. hansen drifted
across the Arctic circle. is perhaps
stronger than the Roosevelt but in com
parison with the latter she is big wood
en- bottle constructed of heavy oak tim
Der and planking. The Fran is too
short and too wide for sea service, and
her power is not sufficient for such work

Secrecy characterizes aeronautical de-
velopments by European governments be-
cause of the expected utility OF the drug
ible balloon as an aerial scout if not as
an aerial torpedo ship. Therefore sud
Cen announcements as to the trials OF
new balloons will soon cause no surprise.
At present, however, the public is thrown
into Estate of mind by the appearance
of new airships. and France is the lat
est nation to have this experience. 1t is
announced from Paris that a dirigible
balloon constructed under the direction

there will be no fright over the French

New Orleans has made bid for the
proposed Worlds Panama Canal Expo
sition by raising $780, 900 and promising
q fund of 81 100000. This is consider
ably short Of what San Francisco has
done in pledging over 81, OOO,OOO in a few
hours. There will be intense rivalry for
the honor Of commemorative the open
ing Of the canal, but San Francisco will
doubtless hold the lead, not only because
Of her energy displayed in a financial
way, but because Of the fact that for
half a century she has stood as the rep
resentative seaport of the great Pacific
coast which is to be joined with the
ports of the Atlantic coast by the canal.
1t is not likely that Seattle will enter
the lists as even the people of the north
coast recognize San Francisco's tradi-
tional position; and moreover, Seattle has
just had an exposition with all that it
implies, before, during the show and
after.
