WASTE, SAYS TRIP

Disarmament is advocated by Guy
E. Trip, of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio Manufacturing Company. who,
in giving the opinions OF the en-
cheering profession in a statement
prepared for the official journal of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers. says that present poll
ctes are not true preparedness and
really weaken the nations ability
to defend itself. Although engineers
play SO important part in prepar-
ing for war, they are not therefore
necessarily in favor of or against
DISARMAMENT
Mr.. Trip served during the war
with the rank of brigadier general.
In January. 1918, he was appointed
chief of the production division of
the United States Ordnance Bureau.
later becoming assistant chief of
the ordnance division. In 1919 he
received the D. S. NJ. for exception

United States government"

tial technical reasons" said George
Trips statement.
From an engineering point of
view the actual production of many
classes OF munitions, in anticipa-
ton OF a war which may not occur
/ for long time. appears to be a
wasteful and highly undesirable
proceeding. Such policy is neces

paredness. and - really tends TO
weaken the ability Of the nation to
Withstand external aggression.
Modern warfare is not only a
contest between armies and navies

some three score years ago, but one
between the entire Industrial and
scientific structures Of nations. A

military establishment of a nation

NULCANITE USED ~
DENTISTRY SINCE 1864

Nulca mite. or hardened rubber.
has been used IN dentistry a. base
icr artificial teeth since 1864 aud
there have been few changes in its
composition since then. DR.. W. h.
Bradfield. Of the city. told the Dis
trict OF Columbia Dental Society az
a recent meeting. when he showed
an appliance that will control the
distortion OF the rubber during vul-
canizstion.
The profession has spent much
efforts in determining means
whereby the shrinksge can be con-
trolled. which is the cause OF the
distortion OF the denture after vul-
csnizstion." he said.
These physical and chemical
changes have been established. The
vulcsnite is hardened by the az
ministration OF heat The best re-
suits are obtained by applying mot
more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit
for given time, thus producine
an additive chemical process. The
rubber molecule, consisting OF ten
atoms Of carbon and sixteen atom
OF hydrogen takes up two atoms O.
sulphur.
IF a temperature above 500 de-
grees is applied a so-called sub
stitution process takes place. The
ruber molecules first eNpells four
atoms of hydrogen and their place
is taken up by two atoms OF sui
phur. We get by the INFLAMMATION
below 800 degrees a more n1ohoce-
neous vulcsnized rubber. free from
microscopic bubbles. which will ~;
be filled with hydrogen sulphidc
causing a bad odoT."
During the process OF vulcan ~ 70
ton rubber suffers two kinds n
changes: loss through contract ion
by cooling. and molecular shrink
age during the change from semi
fluid state before vulcsnizinE into
the hardened state after vulcsnizs-
ton"
DR.. Bradneld's appliance controls
the distortions by accommodating
these changes automatically With
spring pressure at a given streheth
brought TO bear in direct contact
with the rubber.

burglar was wounded in the leg.

the man who did the shooting ought
to be given a little tarGet-practice.

DAWSON BOY BECOMES
PROFESSIONAL BALL PLAYER
Boyhood Dreams of Ed McGill Have
Been Realized

Ed McGill writes enthusiastically to
his mother, Mrs. Edna McGill, OF his
new position in the. sporting world.
That this young Dawsonian has real
lied his boyhood dreams.of becoming
a professional baseball player is a
matter of great interest here in his
home town.
Since going to Chicago as a lad OF
Is years in 1917 with his brother, Ray
McGfll, Ed has never for a moment
given up the idea OF getting in the
game. Although filling other positions
he never missed an opportunity to
play ball, and was given the best
training as catcher by an old profess
sional ball player, Jimmie Archer.
The young man, who is only ~
years of age, has recently been signed
up for two years with the Luddington
club, and will give up lucrative po-
sition in Chicago to join his club at
Luddington April 1st. His career as a
professional will be noted with the
keenest interest by his old friends who
share his pleasure in winning this
honor

HEALTH SURVEY OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN
EXAMINATION OF SEVEN OF
GRADES HAS BEEN MADE.
CHILDREN HEALTHY.

During the past few days a work
which will mean much to the health
of the city was begun in the Dawson
public schools A health survey or
physical examination has been made
from the first through the seventh
grade.
The plan submitted by the state
board OF health was followed, and the
examination will report on the con-
dition OF vision, hearing, eyes, ears,
throat, lungs, heart, skin, etc
The school will keep on file copy
of the record of each grade and cards
will be sent to parents calling atten-
ton to any physical defects which will
interfere with the health OF the child
and which will retard his work in
school. The parent may then, if he de-
fects corrected From time to time
corrections will be noted. The school,
through this cooperation, hopes to be
of service to the town in very prac-
teal way, The physicians who con-
Quoted the examinations state that
the children of Dawson are unusually
healthy.
For some time these grades have
been weighed every month, and much
interest has been aroused in the sub
ject of health. Every pupil knows
what his weight should be and is anx-
ious to get his weight up or down to
normal. AS matter of fact, when the
weighing was begun most OF the pu
pills were underweight. This work has
turned the attention of the pupils to
proper diet, exercise, etc, and has I'M
doubtedly had bearing on the recent
showing made in the health examina-
tons.
The result of the examinations has
not been tabulated, but it is safe to
say that throat trouble is most preva-
lent-adenoids and enlarged tonSis
1t was found also that comparatively
few of the pupils have been vaccinat-
ed for smallpox or inoculated for
typhoid. 1t is hoped that these condi-
| tions will be remedied during the COM
ing summer.
1t should be stated here that the
local physicians were generous enough
to give their services for this work.
The wrok was divided by grades, and
beginning with the first grade the
work was done in the order which
the names appear here: Drs. Lamar,
Chappell, Gardner, Kenyon, Dean,
Patterson and Lewis.
All of the health work mentioned
i'll this article has been made possible
by the committee on health of the
! Woman's Club, of which Mrs L. La
mar is chairman. The committee also
furnished the services of a competent
nurse, Miss Matte Hayes, to help
with the work.
Early this week cards will be sent
to parents calling attention to any
defects found, and for the sake of the
children it is hoped that the follow-up
work can be done as quickly as pos
sible.
