tons at Geneva have been considering
the far more difficult problem of find
ing basis for limitation in a formula
that would cover land and sea forces,
aircraft and even national economic
resources, and possibly manpower
That the Washington government
views such suggestions as almost
frivolous, in that they can only lead
away from actual reductions in arma-
ment, Mr.. Kellogg has made plain. 1t

The address may we'll have the eff
rect of stimulating the Geneva COM
mission to elimination from It's discus
sion of such general theories as are
without practical value at this time.
The American demand for results,
voiced by Mr. Kellogg, hardly can be
wholly ignored
And in one other respect his remarks
have considerable significance They
leave the door wide open for American
initiative in seeking a separate confer
ence among the great naval powers to
widen the scope of the Washington
limitations agreements should the Ge-
neNa gathering adjourn without TAX
ing some constructive and hopeful ac-
ton toward that and other phases of
the problem of cutting down military

arrive at practical results which
promise reduction of armaments
Before ne completed the final draft
of his speech. Mr.. Kellogg had not

TEETH AFFECT
MENTAL ABILITY

That the condition of a child's
teeth has any effect upon the work
that the child is capable of doing
in school does not seem possible UNI
less one stops to find out just why
such a statement has any basis.
About 16 years ago group OF
dentists and school authorities In
Cleveland became interested to find
out Just what effect bad teeth have
upon childs mental ability. SO
they selected a class of 40 school
children with very bad mouth. con-
ditions. These children were given
a series of mental tests to deter
mine exactly what they were cap
able of doing. Then they were TAX
en- to valious dentists until their
teeth were put into the best possible
condition. IN many cases the work
was extensive and required a great
deal of time.
During a period of IA months
these children kept on with their
regular classes but were encouraged
and taught to properly brush their
teeth and to eat a wholesome bal
anced diet. At the end of this time
they were again tested to see IL
there had been any mental improve
ment. The average gain in mental
ability was 99,S per cent per child.
That Is the children had practically
doubled their mental ability by Just
having the needed dental work at
tended to and by giving daily care
to their teeth.
This test proved conclusively that
the child with teeth well cared for
will do much better work than the
child whose teeth are badly decayed,
abscessed or uncared for.
Last year in examining the first
grade children in one city within the
state the State Department of
Health found that $50 of the child
rem had decayed teeth. These chtld-
rem were prevented from doing their
best work by this handicap.
If all the parents of school child
rem or those about to enter school,
would have their teeth cared for,
before school begins, there would
be comparatively few who would not
stand near the top of their class,
says Director Bryant of the State
Division of Dental Hygiene.
