CAMPAIGN TO SAVE TEETH
Proposed in Address Before National
Dental Associa ton.

Louisville, KY, July 25.--"That pre-
vention is preferable to cure is conceded
by all possessing the true professional
spirit, and it is the duty of the dental
profession to prevent, in large measure,
malocclusion of the teeth of the rising
generation" said DR.. j. Lowe Young of
New York City to-day in an address be
fore the annual convention of the Ma
tional Dental association, his subject be-
ing "The Prevention of Malocclusion."
DR.. Young claimed that all orthodontic
appliances could be dispensed with at II
or l3 years of age if proper precautions
and methods were adopted. In order to
obtain the results desired, he said it was
necessary that treatment be begun prior
to, or during, the eruption of the perma-
nent teeth.
"The principal causes of malocclusion,"
said DIR. Young, may be set down as
follows abnormal tissues in the oral
cavity and adjoining parts; loss of tooth
material; mechanically disuse; habits.
Observation has convinced me that the
two latter are the most important. For
generations, human foods have been so
prepared that little or no mastication is
necessary to tickle the palate and swal
low the food. The result of this very
limited use of the muscles of mastication
is lack of normal stimulation of the tis-
sues surrounding the teeth lack of flow
of blood, and lack of normal resorption
of the roots of the deciduous teeth"
After commenting on the possible ef- |
fects of this condition on the habits of |
childhood, DIR. Young continued "The |
mandible is a movable bone, and close |
observers are convinced that the child |
uneonsciously shifts the mandble me-
sally, distally or to either side, to get
the teeth in the position to best masti-
cate food. This position, if abnormal
and allowed to continue, brings improper
muscular force and, necessarily, improp-
er development. Children of three years
of age or older should have their mouths
carefully examined by a dentist, and it
is the duty of a dentist conducting a
family practice to remind parents of the
necessity of sending their children for
such examination"
DIR. Young maintained that orthodon-
tic appliances should be. removed from
the mouth at certain intervals and the
child permitted to enjoy a period of sew
eral months of freedom from the device.
the object being to permit uninterrupted
development as much as possible and also
to facilitate proper cleaning of the teeth.

| service was held last night aboard the
interned North. German Lloyd steamer
Neckar, lying alongside the submarine
Deutschland, for the captain and crew OF

quet The Neckar was brilliantly light
ed.
The Deutschland was partially sub
merged at her slip at 6:30 last evening.
The water is not deep enough for full
submergence.
A series of events yesterday afternoon
at the pier where the merchant subma
rine Deutschland is berthed indicated
that her departure would not be long de-
layed. The most significant of these
were the filling of her water tanks and
the slowing below her deck of the crews
bedding as il was removed from the in
termed North German Lloyd steamer
Neckar nearby. Since their arrival two
weeks ago the Deutschland's crew have
been sleeping aboard the Neckar.
Shortly after the water tanks had
been filled, heavy blue smoke was no
ticed coming from behind the barges that
screened the Deutschland from view and
directly at her stern. The wind blowing
from the direction of the submarine car
ried the odor of fuel oil, and it was evil
dent that the vessels engines were being
tested
These activities were preceded by the
sealing of the submarines wireless APP
oaratus by government radio inspector.
This was in accordance with federal
aw calling for such action at the ex
,iration OF two weeks.

Melbourne, Australia, March T.
1t is announced that nothing more
can oe dore towards salving either
the remains of the German sea-raid-
er Emden or any trophies from her
except such az may be cast ashore.
About a year ago visits paid to North
Keeling island resulted in some of
the guns and other gear of the Ger
man cruiser being removed, part of
which were handed over to the Com
monwealth government. At the end
OF October, 1913, it was decided to
send the gunboat Protector to Cocos
to report as to the possibility of
salving the ship, and to remove any
gear still on board that might be of
interest or value. 1t was found that
the stern half of the Emden had
copletely disappeared, and a very
heavy surf was still breaking over
what remained. The Protector wait
ed a week, in the hopes of getting a
chance to board the Emden; but this
was never for an instant possible.
