DENTAL HEADACHES
BY H. Addington Bruce

a S indicating the difficulty physicians
n may experience in ascertainiag the
- - cause of frequently recurring head
ache, an as emphasizing the importance Of
leaving no possible cause out of account, l
would cite case recently reported by q
Chicago medical man, DR.. Robert Sonnen-
schein.
There came to clinic with which Dr.
Sonnenschein is associated, a young woman
who for more than a year, had been SUI
fering from persistent headaches. Scarcely
day was she free from pain. She would
wake with her head slightly aching, and
by the late afternoon the ache was intense
Long before she consulted DR.. Sonnen-
schein she had seen various physicians in
vain quest for relief. Since she by
occupation stenOgrapher and her head
aches usually were frontal, it was at first
suspected that they were due TO eyestrain.
But no weakness could be found.
Other common causes of headache were
ruled out one by one In fact, repeated
medical examinations and tests invariably
gave negative findings Accordingly, the
patient had been referred to DR.. Sonnen-
schein, a specialist in diseases Of the nose,
on the theory that possibly some nasal in
lection was responsible for the headaches
Such was not found to be the case. NOT
could the blame be thrown on the tOnsils,
these having been removed two years
earlier, because of frequent sore thrOats.
1t was found, however, that the young wom-
Both the right and the left third molar had
remained beneath the surface Of the gum.
N-ray examination showed that they not
only were interrupted, but also We're i'm
pacted that is were pressing against other
teeth. 1t farther appeared that an upper
tooth badly abscessed.
All three of the offending teeth were
extracted, with the result that there was
an immediate cessation of the recurring
headache. Not without reason does DR..
SOnnenschein comment:
1T must be remembered that very often
headaches are reflex in character The ac-
tual cause may be in the teeth or elsewhere
without any disease Of the nasal accessory
sinuses, to which focus we as Rinologists
are so much in the habit Of referring most
OF the headaches we see."
On the other hand, indiscriminate tooth
pulling is hardly to be recommended as a
cure for headaches for which no specific
bodily cause is found. Tooth-pulling is
justified only when, as IN this case there
is definite evidence of dental disease and
/ irregularity.

gained 30 per cent.
Building activities in New York
continued to be an outstanding
feature of interest. The five
reported gains in May of
$25, 900. 900. Building plans filed
in the nations metropolis for the
half.year period are now sure to
pass the half-billion dollar mark
and some observers declare that
1924 will be billion dollar build
ing year in New York. These calcu.
lations are based on the report of
$492 900 900 for five months, a gain
of SO per cent over the same Pc
Rod in 1923, and ~ per cent over
1922.
The twenty-five leading building
cities reported gains of $29, 900, 600,
or 16 per cent over May 1923, and
$44, 000, 900, or rs per cent over
May, 1922, thus showing that build
ing operations in the larger cities
of the country are still greatly in
excess of any previous period.
Further softening in the prices
OF lumber and structural steel ma.
terials manifested itself during the
month. In certain markets. no.
tally New York and Boston, sand
and gravel receded from the prices
established during the previous
month, but in Chicago, there was
an upward turn.

Masonry Materials
Are All Subject to
EfflOrescence

All masonry materials are
subject to efflorescence. It's
occurrence is more common in
materials of an absorptive
nature. ~
Efflorescence is caused by de-
posits of soluble salts on the
wall surface after the water of
solution has evaporated. These
salts may exist in the mortar
used or in the brick or stone.
Water from<rain or drainage
soaks into the masonry and dis
solves some of the soluble salts
either of the mortar or the
masonry itself. After the rain
has ceased, the water is drawn
to the surface and evaporates,
leaving the dissolved salts as
whitish crystals on the surface.
This familiar "efflorescence" is
most common under window
stills, roof copings, and other
points where there is the
greatest amount of water to
soak into the wall.

Idle Building Seasons
Are Unnecessary
Evil

Custom, not climate, is mainly
responsible for seasonal idleness
in the construction industries.
Cities in the South and on the
Pacific coast show much the
same seasonal idIeness as those
on the Canadian border. Such
ups and downs are preventabIe
for the most part.
Modern methods Of winter con-
struction compare ia 1orably
with summer work both as to
cost and progress Of work. Re-
cent months have shown great
activity. Increasing winter con-
structicn to a material extent
depends largely upon public edu-
cation, which is making fast
progress.

KING COUNTY

The result of last week at the
polls spells out good things for
King County for several years. 1t
assures us of a continuation of
present boundary lines and the
probability of no fight being made
for such change. With Mess,
Soule and Chamberlain pledged
to work against any merger, any
self-seeking clique of politicians
will run amuck if they attempt to
segregate Seattle from the remain
der of the county. With the vote
Frank Paul received for com'lis-
Sioner, which amounts to a land
slide, we predict Mr., Paul will
have little trouble in getting for
his end of the county its due
share Of road and bridge money.
w it'll t h. sweeping majority
President Coolidge will have in
the electoral college no one is GO
ing to be nervous about sudden
changes. These three factors-the
choice Of three representatives
from this district who are opposed
to county boundary changes, the
approval set upon the record of
Frank Il. Paul, and the confidence
expressed in the election of Calvin
Coolidge-should warrant an ac-
tive faith in the immediate arrival
of General Prosperity to King
county. Already real estate move
ments in Seattle are becoming
brisk; retail stores are expecting
a big holiday trade, and there is
floating into both our ears from
every direction the common song
that good times are here

EDITORIAL
AMERICA

This is Armistice Day and our
thoughts naturally go back to No
vember II, 1918, the day when the
document was signed that called
a halt of the war then raging
between the armies of Germany
and her allies on one side, and
America and the nations associa-
ted with her on the other. 1t was
a day of desolation in Germany
and day of triumph in America.
The past half dozen years has re-
vealed much TO the world. Many
Americans think The armistice
was signed two weeks too soon.
Had the Allies delayed two weeks
longer they would have had an
unconditional surrender on the
part Of the Central powers. the
News Record does not agree with
this idea. 1t would have meant
the loss of thousands Of additional
lives, and the utter devastation of
many cities and villages. The ed
itor isn't strong on this war idea,
anyway, and we feel as much was
gained for civilization by ending
the war when it was ended as
would have been gained by IN
sisting on triumphal entry into
the city of Berlin. Germany was
great nation, and was made up
of great people. 1t is fondly
to be hoped the next half dozen
years will see this once powerful
nation taking seat again among
the progressive nations OF the
world, and America and Germany
joining hands in sending liberty
through all the world, to all the
inhabitants thereof. We have but
the kindliest feelings toward the
mass of the German people, who,
by exercising industry, investiga-
tion, integrity and thrift have
stamped an indelible mark upon
the history of the world. Let
America be the asylum where any
industrious German may come and
help develop our forests, our prai-
ries, and our arts-and here find
an opportunity and welcome.

ANCIENT RELICS TO
BELONG TO MUSEUM
Fine Archaeological ColIec-
ton for Houston, Texas.

One of the largest and most inter-
esting archaeological collections in the
Southwest Is that of Prof. w. f. Cum
minis, oil geOlogist for the Southern
Pacific railroad. Professor Cummins
has announced his intention of pre-
senting this wonderful collection of
ancient relics to the Houston museum.
1t consists of several hundred stone
and clay images which he found in
the Maya ruins in Yucatan, Mexico,
and many strange objects which he
unearthed in exploring prehistoric
mounds in Missouri.
One specimen Is sacred image
carved in stone, found nearly forty
years ago in Missouri mound, pro-
nounced by expert biologists of the
government not only genuine, but the
finest specimen ever found from the
mounds and cumuli of the prehistoric
civilized race of the United States,
probably thousands of years old. Pro
fessor Cummins refused an offer of
5000 for it, or for cast of 1t, from
government scientific institution.
But he kept it as the only one of its
kind for presentation to the Houston
museum.
The workmanship of this stone
image is perfect, requiring high ar
tistic skill in conception and execu-
ton, indicating that an advanced de-
gree of civilization had been reached,
as well as a knowledge of species Of
animals that have not existed for
thousands of years on this continent.
