Supreme Court Decides
Decides Length of Skirt

Lawrence, Kansas, April 7.-How
short girls skirt must be to be a
disturber of scholastic peace, and
when, if ever, it becomes the con.
cern of a school board, are questions
expected to be laid before the supreme
court of Kansas, following the recent
action of District Judge Hugh Means
in sustaining a demurrer of the Vim
land, Kansas, rural school board
against his jurisdiction in an action
brought on behalf of Alice Hansen
and Maude Buchanan, Vinland high
school pupils against the board.
Alice and Maude are Is years old
and both are farmers daughters
Court action was brought by J. E.
Hansen, father of Alice, when the Vim
did not meet specifications, and ex-
PEELED them until such times as their
skirts should be lowered.
On application of Mr.. Hansen
Judge Means issued temporary or
der directing the school board to per-
nit the girls to return to their stud
les. They did so, without reservations
or amendments as to skirt length.
Then the school board filed demurrer
to Judge Means jurisdiction, which
the Judge upheld, and Hansen's attor-
ney announced an appeal to the su-
creme court.
The action of the school board
CT NJ ~, fho
ally placid community of Vinland
Supporters of the school board said
the board was right, that three inches
below the knee was liberal allowance
for skirts. Others, particularly friends
of the girls mothers, said they be-
lieved Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Buch-
anan, who made the costumes in ques-
tion at home, knew more about what
was right and modest for girls to wear
than any three men in the county
school board directors or not:
Judge Means was. made the recipi.
ent of much unasked advise and com.
mendation, from hundreds of persons
in all parts of the United States.
Serious minded women wrote 10 MIN
gravely, pointing out the merits Of
short skirts from a sanitary stand
point.
Others feared the decadence of ma
tional morals, and still others were
concerned over the peril to nationa
liberties-if school boards were to bt
permitted to determine styles.
The most voluble adherents of shor'
skirts among Judge Means CORE
spOndents were women.
One woman said that morals ans
skirt lengths had no connections, tha
il was all question of the purpose
and intent with which clothes wer,
worn. Another declared skirts any
where between the knees and the sho,
tops were entirely proper

The Sure Cure" For
Cotton Boil Weevil
Ry las L. Carharv


With the season for planting cotton
near at hand, somewhat with the in
stinct with which a "'irowning man
grabs at straw" farmers are great
ly Interested in the numerous sucalled
Sure Cure" for boil weevil, and in
some cases buying direct or taking
stock in the company.
Much has been said and written
warning the cotton farmer to "beware
of false prophets" and were it not
for this timely admonition supple
mented by the alert county agents,
quite a lot of money would be spent
uselessly.
The fundamental principle of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture and
State Colleges is to protect the farm
ing. public against imposters, to teach
and encourage the farmer in applying
| the best practical and economic meth
DDS, and to send out unreservedly ad-
vance information concerning every
feature of agriculture. Particularly
observant are these forces concerning
new creations and untried schemes.
If something new develops opportun-
ity is freely afforded by the College
and Department of Agriculture for a
fair test. Should this test prove con-
vincing, in due course of time the pub
lie Is advised, but not until it has
passed the experimental stage.
In this connection our government,
and certainly every State College in
the cotton belt, has been diligently
for years, searching for better meth
ods of weevil control, and the indi-
vidual who succeeds must in turn have
the approval of these forces before he
can expect their commentator with
out which the purchaser of any "sure
cure, cannot expect approval of eth
er the State College or County Agent.
For years the farmers of South Car
olina have been warned of the ap-
preaching boil weevil, told of it's
devastating inuflences elsewhere and
have needed the admonition and done
so.
Tons of literature have been dis
tributed widespread giving in detail
ever known and approved boil weevIl
control method culturally and other
wise, and there still remains in the
Office of the County Agent and else
where liberal supply awaiting de-
mand of the farmer.
AS new control methods are discov-
cred the farmer is officially advised
To date of this the calcium arsenate
poison method in addition to clean
farming, cultural methods, etc., is the
only thing known from which bene-
fetal results have been obtained, and
this, like the other control methods
must be used intelligently and in con-
nection with the others.
See Circular No. 162 by Coad G.
Cassidy, u. S. Department of Agri-
culture, or write Clemson College di-
rect for any information needed if
you are not in close touch with your
County Agent.
Follow only the best, authoritative
information. Practicing one or two or
the boil weevil control methods will
not bring satisfactory results, it re-
auires the combination, not the least
of which is the use of pure seeds the
best for the particular locality, and
those which will mature before weevil
become too numerous.
Beware of false prophets. Do not
spend money for socalled boil weevil
eradicator unless approved by your
State College.

YOUR TEETH
The Eifty-Two Teeth

|
By Rea Proctor McGee, D. D. S.
NJ D., Editor "Oral Hygiene"
Every normal person will have ir
his lifetime fifty-two teeth, as many
teeth as there are weeks in the year
There are twenty teeth in the
temporary set and thirty-two in the
permanent set. In each jaw the
temporary teeth will consist of two
central incisors, two lateral incis.
ors. two cuspids, two first molars
and two second molars.
There are no bicuspid teeth and
no third molars in the temporary
set; these are found only in the per-
manent teeth.
Natures method of erupting or
cutting the teeth is peculiar.
The temporary teeth in baby's
jaws are developed in a little groove
just like planting corn in a furrow
in the field.
These little teeth have the enamel
formed first and then the roots. The
teeth do not begin to erupt until a
bony covering is grown from the
edges of the developmental groove
completely over the tops of the baby
teeth.
Then as soon as this job is com
plete, nature at once begins to alb
sorb the layer of bone so recently
grown over the tops of these teeth
and presently the teeth, with the
aid of blood pressure, push their
way through bone and gum into the
mouth.
The permanent teeth form more
deeply in the jaw and of course as
they are more perfect, they form
more slowly
When all of the baby teeth are in
place the little jaws are literally
crowded with teeth; twenty in place
in the mouth, and thirty-two more
or less developed teeth yet conceal
ed beneath the bone.
Does it not seem good Judgment
to take care of the permanent teeth
so that assesses will not form
about their roots? Just think of the
damage that infection from baby
teeth can do to these crowded little
jaws.
There are no other bones in the
body that have other organs devel-
oping within them.
Only the jaw bones have, in a
lifetime, ffty-two holes punched in
them by nature to accommodate
fifty-two additional organs. A
healthy jaw has as much work to do
as it can handle without adding to
it's burden infection that can be pre-
vented.
