THE PINNACLE OF SELF-SACRIFICE

This city yesterday read in the Herald of the contemplated trip to China of New Britain girl of 22 years, who as a nun will live in that country for the remainder of her days. She will be a missionary and will never return to the land of her birth except In case of extreme ill., ness.
 This is the blossoming of life of sacrifice for religion and humani- ty. Nothing but the most sublime faith in the cause of which she is a living example could form an inn pulse strong enough to leave native land and kindred, never to see either again except in the face of dire personal emergency.
 Only the abounding faith that comes with religion can motivate such a life of sacrifice in an age when pleasure seeking is thought important. The person taking up the divine responsibilities of mission ary under such circumstances effec- lively turns from the blandishments oP selfish living. waves aside the hope of ease and luxury, and ac- cepts instead life of personal danger in a strange land: and not merely for a short time or a reason ably long time, but for the re- maindcr of life's years.
 Nothing but admiration and re- spect is left In the face of such pious self-denial.

Dr. Baldpate at Sea

T see that William Beebe, the scientist, missed the Humboldt cur rent" said pr. George A. Baldpate to Claire Ostermann, and therefore doubts it's existence. Tt is there all right. Beebe probably took the wrong turn somewhere. He should have stopped his ship and asked someone.
 T had an interesting experience with this ocean stream, in '93, when I was coming north as ships doctor for Lord and Lady Beaver board on their yacht, the Sea Fuss. Lady B. had just presented her husband with son and heir, little Cedric, who was born on board as we lay in the harbor of Valparaiso. Cedric was a weak child and his mother, also, failed to rally as she should. Then we ran into the most terrific hot spell I Have ever known. The steel hull of the Sea Fuss was like an oven. Mother and child were fading away. His Lord ship was in despair and even I was worried. 'BaIdpate,' he said, five thousand guineas if you save thcm'
 Then I thought of the Hum boldt current. that strange stream of cold water that winds its way up from the tropics. If you give me complete charge of the navigN- ton, I think l can do it. I said. My request was granted. All night l bored over the charts and in the morning ordered a radical change in our course. At the end of six hours the weather was decidedly cooler. Lady B. and the infant ral- lied at once. But when we got into the full stream of the current it was too cold. The weak mother had a severe chill. Cedric sneezcd vio- lently ] almost lost them both.
 Tn the stream it was too cold; out of it, if was too hot. There was only one thing 10 be done; keep on the edge of it. It took the most careful seamanship but l managed it. By hanging thermometer over l the bow l actually steered by it. keeping our course always in wa. i ter of 70 degrees. I landed the Beaverboards. in the best of health In New York and Lord F. handed me the 5000 guineas on the dock
 Cedric later turned out to be 2 fearful rake. hardly worth saving but I had done my bit and have always felt proud of it."

PRACTICAL UTILITY OF DIRIGIBLES

Ine utlnty or nghter than ar craft cannot be called Into question as a result Of the disaster to the Shenandoah. sny more than disas- ters to airplanes, such as the dis appearance of the PN-9 No. in the attempted flight to Hawaii, calls into question the utility Of air planes.
 Disasters with dirigibles have been fairly numerous, especially during the experimental stage with these craft. Count Zeppelin him self lost six such air monsters dur ing peace-t time experiments.
 In the western area of the United States the storms frequently are very sArsre. and tornadoes are a byword ana of such frequency that In some sections storm cellar is a necessary adjunct of safe living, But an airship happening to tra- verse such sections of the American continent cannot go in hiding in a storm cellar when the tornado breaks loose. The only method of safety would be to know when to expect the tornado and steer to avoid 1t. Before we experiment with more air cruisers let us get better acquainted with the possibilities of avoiding bad weather while using them. The Shenandoah headed into big storm that was entirely un- suspected.
 The disaster is apt to have se- rious repercussions in Congress, and there is possibility that appropria- tons may be cut. Congressman should restrain themselves, how ever, until the reports of all ex- perts are in.
 The Shenandoah. although re- garded as a staunch vessel of its type. was not of the most modern design. having been a copy of 1916 Zeppelin type which came down in France in October, 1917, for lack of fuel. The German de- sign was used as base, but was strengthened in many details. It Is now possible to make stronger ships than the Shenandoah; these would be stronger, shorter and fat ter, with larger gas capacity, like the Los Angeles. The latter is re- garded as the strongest airship afoat and it is a matter of techni- cal speculation whether 1t would have survived the storm in Ohio had it been making the western trip instead of the Shenandoah.
 At present the navy does not possess sufficient helium to fill the gas chambers of the Los Angeles so that this dirigible reposes n the Lakehurst hangar. AS it cam ,ot be used for strictly naval purposes on account of the treaty limiting Its use, the Los Angeles may as well be leased to one of the private con- cerns which are eager to start com mercial aviation with lighter than air machines.
 It is well not to judge the future of this type Of aviation by the fate of the Shenandoah and by glimps- ing the list of similar disasters in the past. A list of the actual achievements of long distance flying | is impressive.

But we fellows can't let the girls get ahead, and we won't this year. We are the ones who will wear the skirts and let them take what's left. What we're wondering is whether or not we boys will be compelled to wear cerise or golden yellow hats 10 complete the ensem- ble. Wouldn't that be just too de- Iightful?
 And the ladies, the dear ladies. Their styles are changing, too. Shorter skirts, longer sleeves and higher necks. Can't keep up with em, and. talking of colors again. they have cuckoo. rosewood, dog wood and pieapple. But fapper can have sense, even though her dress is cuckoo, cant she?
 Wonder who thinks of all the colors for men and women. Well, everything else is becoming revou- tionized, and the color experts have been sitting back long enough with not much to do. Looks like they are working overtime just now.
 But, all kidding aside, it will soon be time for the red f1annels.

Chlds First Teeth Should
Be Given Proper Care

A visitor at recent child health
conference was startled to hear an
attractive young mother say to her
curly-headed four year old, "Now,
c7en the pearly gates" The little
~ who was an experienced player
81 the health game Immediately re-
sponded by opening her mouth and
showing two rows of we'll cared for
pearly white teeth.
Speaking of the care that should
be given to the "baby" teeth to keep
these pearly gates in good order, DR..
Knox, Chief of the State Bureau of
Child Hygiene, said, 1.-TWO things are
necessary-the right sort of food,
and intelligent care. 1t is a mistake
to think that the first teeth can be
safely negleced on the principle that
they are only the first teeth and will
be gone in few years at any rate.
The first teeth are as important to
the child as the permanent teeth are
. to the grown-up. We have been very
slow in realizing the relation between
sound teeth and good health in the
adult, so it is not to be wondered at
that mothers do not realize the re-
lation between a child's health and
the condition of that child's teeth.
THE experience of the State Bu-
reau of Child Hygiene at the health
conferences for babies and preschool
children throughout the State ,paral-
lels that in similar conferences in 9TH
er states-two out of every three
children we examine have badly cared
for or completely neglected teeth.
This is true even of children who are
exceedingly well cared for in other
ways.
Sound teeth are almost literally
gateways to health. The care neces-
sary to produce them goes back a long
way, and long time before baby's
teething troubles begin. The founda-
tons of baby's teeth are derived
from the food of the mother-to-be,
That is one of the reasons why she
should plan her diet so that it will
be sure to include the foods that will
furnish the elements necessary for
good tooth and bone building-cal-
cium or lime, as we usually speak of
it, and mineral salts. She gets these
from milk and green vegetables. The
same elements are needed throughout
the entire growing period of child's
life.
GAS to care: children can be saved
from much suffering if they are
taught to keep their teeth and their
mouths clean, and free from decaying
matter. Before the teeth are cut,
the mouth of a young baby, cleans
itself; injury may be done by even
a supposedly gentle swabbing. After
the teeth begin to come, a baby's
mouth can be kept in good condition
by gentle cleansing with a swab of
cotton wrapped around the mothers
finger After the child is two or
three years old, it can be taught to
use soft brush. At the first sign of
decay, a child should be taken to a
dentist"
