GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make II Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out of style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend is to pre-
serve the tooth TO make 1t look as
near as possible like it was originally.
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor must be pulled out.
The idea of pulling teeth is some
thing comparatively new in American
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also is not as popu-
lar as it once II To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass of gold in be-
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with it.
Now dentists recommend a plate of
false teeth instead OF the bridge.
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science is now
spending its energies more on serv-
iccable plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.-New York Sun.

Suppose a funeral passed your
house with $4,000 hearses, each hearse
containing an American business firm.
II would be impressive, wouldn't 1t?
II would also give you an accurate
idea of the number of business fall
ures since prices began to tumble in
May, 1920, Notwithstanding they
haven't tumbled so very much for some
things. But don't get gloomy over it.
Standing on curbstones watching their
brethren go to Dun & Bradstreet's
cemetery, are nearly 100000 business
organizations that have weathered the
storm. In two years of sever de-
preston only one business in every
fifty-three has failed. The percentage
OF farmers that have gone broke Is
larger. Business failures have totaled
about 5000, 100000 a year In liabilities.
Assets have averaged about enough to
pay 80 per cent on the dollar. The net
loss has been about $300,000,000 a
year, or about So n per for each Amer
lean. Might be much worse, remarks

Eskimo Dwelis in Sweltering Heat.


The explorer Stefansson spent five
years in the Arctic mapping out terri
tory, collecting valuable material and
studying the condition of the inhab-
itants. He remarks that the Eskimos
unspoiled by civilization live a great
part of their lives n a climate whose
temperature is from so to 90 degrees
Fahrenheit. That is what a thermom.
eter in one of their snow houses reg
listers; and when they go into the open
they are clad in two layers of fur that
must maintain the body heat at a
tropical point In short, indoors or out,
the Eskimo and the Sicilian live In the
same climate. Among the northern
Indian tribes, who live In wigwams
and are poorly clothed, the age of ma
turity is quite as high as among the
north European whites. Thus Stefans-
son accounts for the apparent excep-
ton to established theory.

Development viii Be Rapid.

The fact that most of the peat con-
tains about so per cent of water in its
natural state has, the government ex-
perts say, held back the development
Of the peat fields; and If, as seems
probable, engineers are successfully
developing q process under which the
water In the peat can be converted
into steam while the dry peat can be
converted into gas, and the two powers
utilized together, it will not be a great
while until development of peat bodies
will be undertaken on a large scale.
The Wisconsin geological survey has
compiled some interesting statistics

velopment including %by-products Peat

obviously, If a substitute for the
fuels now available, cheaper, more
widely distributed and more readily
available, could be discovered, the
face of Industrial life would be
transformed. For years chemists and
engineers have labored to increase the
efficiency Of electricity and steam and
to cheaper the processes whereby they
are produced. A still cheaper com
modify than coal or oil is water, but
often water cannot be employed for
power unless II. is impounded, and the
impounding is very expensive. Is there
at hand, lying under the eyes and
noses and feet Of mankind, q fuel
still better adapted for power pur.
poses than coal, oil or water?

as a result of IL detailed examination
of the methods by ii committee of
the American Statistical association.
While pronouncing the methods now
followed TO be fundamentally sound
and commencing the bureau of mar
kets and crop estimates for the pre-.
cautions taken to prevent slips, the
three outstanding statisticlans made a
few recommendations, some of which
have already been introduced.
The crop blunder of 1921" was re-
sponsible for the investigation of the
crop reporting system which was
ordered last winter by the secretary
of agriculture. The fact that the COM
mittee of three statisticlans, Carroll
w. Doten of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology and former presi-
dent of the American Statistical Insti-
tute; Prof. Warren M. Persons of
Harvard university, and Prof. Wilfred
1. King, economist for the National
Bureau of Economic Research, made
a thorough examination of the methods
Of gathering and compiling the crop
reports has just been made public. 1t
was learned that the three s~tatisti-
clans made two visits to Washington,
during which time they spent several
days for the purpose of passing upon
the system now In effect.
The three most important reforms
suggested are:
l. The Strengthening of the field
offices.
2. The designation Of a competent,
high class statistician to serve at
Washington, whose sole duty would be
to do research work in the examina.
ton and analysis of the data from
which the estimates are evolved.
Q. The proper correlating of weather
and other factors with the yield from
crops.

1T WHEN RAW OR WET.
1T PRODUCES POWER CHEAPLY
Water Content Called an Asset, Not

titles of Peat, Chiefly in North Gen.

BY JAMES p.

Washington.-The United States ge-
illogical survey, the bureau of mines
and the bureau of standards are watch
Ing with keen interest the development
of a process by persons not connected
with the government service for utiliz-
ing raw or wet peat for power pur-
poses. The process, 1t Is asserted, has
been developed to a point where sue
cess Is reasonably assured. The I'M
dertaking Is to convert the moisture
content and the combustible content
Of peat into steam and gas by means
of a pressure engine.
Reports have recently been made to
the three government bureaus above
mentioned that engineers appear to
have discovered: (1) That peat of a
high water content can be burned in
definitely as a fuel and used for I'LL the
power processes of q manufacturing
plant; (2) that water In the peat Is an
asset and not a liability; 90 that 80
cents worth of peat will produce us
much power as a ton of bituminous
coal; (4) that the process would re-
cover a large per cent Of by-products,
including coke, ammonia, light and
heavy oils and tar for dye base !;
(5) that other carbonaceous fuels
might be employed the same as peat.
The government experts In the geo.
logical survey, the bureau of mines
and the bureau of standards say that
If the process that is being developed
turns out successfully, the effect will
mense peat beads which are to be
found In some twenty states. The larg-
est of these beds, according to the geo.
logical survey, are In Minnesota, Wis
consin, the Dakotas, Michigan and In
diana. The lake beds in northern Indi-
ana are nearly all composed Of peat.
Vast Quantities of Peat.
1t is estimated by the bureau of
mines that the peat available In the
United States is approximately 12,000,-
100000 tons, and that about half of
this amount Is In Minnesota. 1t has
also been estimated that there are be-
tween two and three billion tons of
peat available In the state Of Wiscon-
sin. The total swamp area Of the
United States, exclusive of Alaska, is
about 1885 square miles. The geo.
logical survey estimates that s per
cent of this area has peat beds Of good
quality. The depth Of peat over this
vast area is assumed to average at
least nine feet, giving 200 tons of dry
fuel per acre for each foot of depth.
The geological survey has for many
years been calling attention to the
enormous supply Of peat-a supply
that thus far has practically remained
untouched-and has all along main
tanned that the time would come when
this supply would be utilized as q sub
stitute for coal and fuel oil. From time
to time the survey has asked the con
gress for money with which to expert
ment with the s of wet peat as we'll
as dry peat, but the legislative body
has never shown any interest in these
requests, and * 1t remained for engi-
neers in their private capacities to
take I'D the work.
