Dwindling Jaws

IN HE dean of the college of dentistry of western
university deplores the dwindling of the Ameri-
can jaw. Fine, massive maxiaries are getting
scarcer
The professor does not attribute this menace to
less talking or to decrease in gum chewing. He
oiames it on the growing tendency of the public to eat
enjoyable, well cooked easily mastcated food instead
Of tearing and devuurng tough raw meat and gnawng
at bones like savages.
Ever since colonial days." says he Small jaws
have been the increase in the United States That
change has followed Americas growing practice of eat
ing soft foodssof bread and mashed potatoes for in
stance.
"Our tendency for soft food is still growing If it
isn't changed drasticaly it will change the nations
facial characteristics"
We should not be surprised to learn that the dean
OF some association of chropodss has noticed that
American feet have been growing tender owing
the widespread custom of wearing shoes Few persons
In the United States today could walk barefoot over
broken glass with the nsouciance of Australian Bush
man.
Manicures, too may have observed that the hands
OF baseball catchers becoming and more eff
Terminate because of the custom of wearing NIT behind

gnarled left hand would have aroused derision.
Civilization works slowly but its beneficial effects
on man ought to be dscerned in universities even in the
case of such minute but important results as the dimnu

Sources of Fire Loss

X LEANLINESS and sanitation universally rec
I ognized as factors essential for the preservation
of health. But the fact that cleanliness and sani-
tation aid materially in cutting down the annual
fire loss in the United States is not well known
The National Fire Waste Council in cooperation
with the Insurance Department of the United States
Chamber of Commerce has engaged in considerable
research work. with the result that the greater part of
annual fire loss traced to six sources of which
is the storage of trash and rubbish
The six sources enumerated by the council are ::
improper building constructions defective installation of
equipment supplying power heat and light improper or
careless storage handling and distribution of explosives
and inflammabe liquids; handling and of nitro
cellulose films; storage of trash and rubbish storage
handling and use of matches.
Cleanliness denotes order and care. Fires are
usually the result of disorder and carelessness.

That is a pretty good title. it is
given to one Of the recent Antioch
College pamphlets and is very sug-
gestiye.
There is nothing people need more
in the world than desire. The great
problem is not depressing desire or
uprooting it, but properly nursing it,
We need desire all our lives. No
yrrat thing was ever done by a man
without great desire.
i was Napolson's desire for fame
that drove him forward, and AIeIan-
der's and Caesars desire for conquest
that actuatcd their efforts.
Marriage is rarely successful with
out a great desire.
A marriage merely for convenience,
for money, Tor position, or such rea-
sons, Is usually q failure.
There have been few business sue

politicians achieve success without the
proper amount Of ambition.

Conservation of Desire
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

engine. It is the urge in human ac-
cOmplishment.
People do not fail 50 much because
they want the wrong things. Some do.
But most people do not succeed be-
cause they do not know what they
want or do not want a thing hard
enough.
Since desire is so essential in hu-
man accomplishment everything
should be done to conserve it.
The chief trouble with drinking al
cohol is not its immediate toxic effect
upon the system so much as it is the
fact that il gives US a sense Of salts
faction without due effort.
The sex desire properly conserved
and limited is the foundation Of the
home. If il seeks its satisfaction in
other channels the home life is weak
ened.
The greatest wasters are the vast
ers Of desire. There is need Of thrift
in desire a. well a. in other things.
You never know when you may want
it.

Tetanus Serum
By Royal S. Copeland

One of the most dreadful Of all
dreadful deaths is the agonizing end
of the victim of lockjaw. / can never
forget the last hours of friend as
well as a patient of mine. 1t was
20 years ago, but the circumstances
are as vivid as il they had happened
yesterday.
The medical name for lockjaw is
tetanus. any wound made in such
manner that soil is carried into the
tissues is one which may result in
tetAnus.
In the old days Fourth of July was
an American holiday which was paid
for in hundreds of deaths from teta-
nus.
In the World War this disease was
one Of the greatest Of the horrors.
The explosion OF shells tore the body
and drove into the tissues the infected
dirt of the soil.
/ am always attentive when some
body suggests the hope Of protection
against tetanus. On this account /
am interested il a dispatch from Paris.
1t was printed a few days ago. 1t
states:
"a discovery which is claimed to
provide perfect immunization against
tetanus has been announced By the
Pasteur Institute after six months ex-
periments with the vaccine Of DR.. Gas
ton Ramon"
The dispatch says that men and
horses have been treated successfully
against tetanus poison, in marked
contrast to the effects Of other serums,
which seldom lasted more than ten
days" This is encouraging, because
it Is a pity to have so brief a period
Of safety against an enemy 30 deadly.
In commenting On the new vaccine
one Of its advocates said: Medical
history Of the World War simply H.
illustrates the value Of the discovery. If
il were known then thousands Of lives
would have been saved and the dan
ger from tetanus reduced to the mini
mum. For athletes liable 70 scratches
which may develop into tetanus, and
for workers everywhere, its possibility
Of immuuizalou is Of the utmost i'm
portance and may some day be- made
compulsory
It takes from one 10 three weeks
after the accident FOR the symptoms
Of tetaDus to appear. The first sign
is q peculiar feeling in the throat or
neck. Then the jaws feel stiff. There
may be- fever.
Bat the terrible symptom is the
dreadful sposm. The attacks become
more frequent and more violent The
head is drawn back and the whole
body may be srrLed, resting on head
and heels.
The fever increases and death oc-
ours unless treatment ovcrcomes the
aiImcnt hi. vaccine will prove q
blessing, and ! n1s IL has actually
been discovered

Freaks Of Nature

The so-colled Mexican jumping
bean is the sed Of e plant, usually n
species of Croton, growing in Sonora
and other Mexican states. The insect
which inhabits it is the larva Of a
moth, which lays its eggs either in the
blossom or in the undeveloped fruit.
The insect develops inside the bean,
and as it grows, eats for itself a cav
ity until it occupies most of the in-
terror. Its wiggling while in this state,
especially when heat is applied,
causes the bean TO move. II takes
several months to develop, and before
emerging as the adult moth, cuts
hole which II lines with a silk-like
substance, and soon after crawls out
and flies away, usually in February
or March.

Sen. Borah on
World Court

Tin one Of the outstanding politi-
cal speeches of his career, in Milwsu-
kee on February Ord, Senator Borah
began a campaign to force the Senate
to reverse its vote taking the United
States into World Court. Part of
his address follows.)
If we had been a member OF the
World Court, when Great Britain got
into trouble in the Mosul oil matter,
we as a people and a nation would
have become embroiied in that affair.
Who is to enforce the decisions of
the court? The sheriff. And who is
the sheriff? The League Of Nations.
In the Senate we offered a reserva-
ton to the court protocol providing
that all nations agree to abide by the
decisions of the court and never TO
resort to war. The answer we got
was that if the United States embar.
raised Europe, Europe would reject
the whole proposition.
One distinguished gentleman said
that II was none OF our business IL
Europe wanted to 90 to war. IF it is
not, then let US stand by the principles
Of George Washington until they get
in a different frame Of mind over
there. The court and league are but
the playthings Of five great European
powers, just as much as the various
political agencies of New York are but
the playthings of Tammany.
While soldier boys, many Of them
Americans, were shedding their blood,
these nations were already at work di.
viding the spoils Of war.
And now the fight to get us into the
league is on, and nothing but the
masses OF the American people can
save us from entering IT, That is why
/ am here. I realize that II is the
opinion Of the plain people, those who
have to do the fighting and dying,
must be heard before the second bat
tie is over, If we are to be saved. They
can apply the gag rule in the Senate,
but they can't put IL over on US here
on the public platform.

Captures Young Wild
Cat Bare Handed

Catching wildcats with the bare
hands is not exactly to be recon-
mended as an outdoor sport, and
few people have ever done the trick
without a considerable loss in cpl
dermis. Henry Hill, Jr., of this
city, employed in the customs office
at Boston, while making an auto
trip through New Hampshire a few
days ago, found a partly grown Wild
cat beside the road which he was
traversing. Removing his overcoat,
he determined to attempt the cap
ture of the beast. Mr.. Hill tells of
his experience as follows:
Il managed to set hold of the
bobcat, with one hand just back of
his ears. and pinned both hind legs
with the other hand. He bit through
a heavy coat, a sweater, q flannel
shirt and my winter underwear, and
clawed and scratched, yowling fierce
ly. For a few minutes / wanted
very much to let go, but didn't dare
to- Finally 1 got my trench coat
thrown over the cat and tied him
into it,"
He brought the wildcat to this
city and it is now being kept in "A
pen at 101 Western avenue. The
cat eats meat and other things, and
may be sent to the Boston Sports
mems Show next month as part
of the exhibit from this State.
