PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

Dentistry is coming of age through
out the civilized world. The other day
a professional obligation took me to the
national assembly of the American
Dental Association. AS 1 talked with
its leaders I caught something of the
vision that is animating them.
The early dentists engaged in little
more than a game of pull and plug.
The early dentists spent most of their
time on the double joy of helping peo-
pie to chew better and to look better.
Neither the dentists nor the ply
sicians of earlier days realized the i'm
portant factor the teeth might be IN
disease and in health.
Dentistry was mechanical and
esthetic enterprise.
Research has revealed, however. the
critical Importance of the teeth in the
diagnosis and treatment of disease as
we'll as in the preservation OF health.
Dentistry is now seen to have
biological significance as well as me-
chanical and an esthetic significance.
The modern dentist knows that it is
his duty to help people to be better
as we'll as to chew better and to look
better.
This means that he must have
broader and more basic training than
the old dentlSt enjoyed, tne new uentlSt
must subject himself to the most rigid
and comprehensive scientific training
if he is to see and administer dentistry
as one of the fundamental branches
of medical practice and health service.
There is no more reason why a den-
tist should be considered adequately
prepared for the practice of dentistry
without a thorough medical training,
Just because he can extract and fill
teeth expertly, than that a surgeon
should be considered adequately pre-
pared for the practice of surgery with
out a thorough medical training, just
because he is adept at cutting and sew
ing human tissues.
We are happily emerging from the
time when physician and dentist hardly
spoke the same scientific language-a
time when physicians rarely called den-
lists into consultation, although they
we're habitually calling eye. ear. nose
and throat specialists into consultation.
We now know that the more the
dentist knows of medicine and the
more the physician knows of dentistry
the better for both and for the patients
of both
AS this medico-dental merging ad-
yances, dentistry comes of age.

LAMP SHADE MAKING
BRINGS WIDOW SUCCESS

Beginning her business career on
her back porch eight years ago Mrs
Virginia Darling, of Tuckahoe and
New York City, today employs Il
artists at her crowded New York
work shop and has for several
years doubled her output of decor
ated lamp shades every six months,
Suddenly faced with the necessity
of supporting her small son and
daughter Mrs. Darling, who had
sold a few of her shades to friends,
decided to strike out for success
with one Of the biggest gift shops
in New York City. With a bullying
case of lamp shades she waited two
hours to see the buyer for the store,
was too frightened to make a sales
talk and was speechless when he
said:
81 like these. Bring me a dozen by
next Wednesday,"
Il suppose 1 vent home on a
slow local train" says Mrs. Darling
in The American Magazine, "but I
felt as if 1 were flying every step
of the way. 1 set to work feverish-
ly to have the shades ready on the
date set for their delivery. And
when 1 turned them in 1 came away
with an order for hundred dollars
worth of lamp shades"
After six months Mrs. Darling had
saved several hundred dollars and
was ready to rent quarters in the
city.
THAT was four years ago." she
says, land the new business thrived
from the beginning. We have dou-
bled and trebled our output every
six months or So"
She now owns a charming house
at Tuckahoe where she is raising
her son and daughter.

gained by employing the ice box in

popular during this season is more
tempting if served chilled. she
points out, and, of course the prob

Among other dishes which Miss
Nichols finds easy to make by use of

TRUCKS DEMAND
BEST HIGHWAYS
Hauling By Motor Is New Big Bust
ness Awaiting Full Recognition
By E. E. Duffy

Hauling goods and produce by mo-
tor truck has become such bust
ness in the United States that com
munities can no longer afford to
build highways that will not bea1
the full traffic burden economically
Farmers, for instance, have in
creased their market radius from
that not-so-long-ago period when
ten miles was a good days hauling
distance for two or four horses, to
the present when loads weighing
two or three times as much may be
carried fifty miles or more over good
roads by motor trucks.
Quickness in transportation means
money to the farmer in more ways
than one, as this instance cited in
recent report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission indicates. A
farmer in Minnesota notes that
when his poultry shipments are
made by rail there is a shrinkage
in weight of five or six pounds per
crate. Delivery by truck, accom-
plished quickly over the fifty mile
highway leading to Minneapolis,
brings a shrinkage of only one
pound.
Trucking by motor is such a new
thing, comparatively speaking, that
for the most part there is ignorance
Of its extent. In many communities
the bulk of short haul shipments is
made by motor truck. An analysis
of shipping between Columbus and
30 Ohio cities, according to the In
terstate Commerce Commission re-
port, shows that for hauls of less
than 20 miles about IS per cent of
the total is by truck. For longer
distances, truck hauling naturally
decreases, but up to 80 miles trucks
absorb more than half of the bust
ness.
The Importance of the motor
truck is emphatically stressed in
the business of hauling live stock
to market. Three and a third mil
lion hogs were carted by motor
truck in 1925 to Is markets, slight
ly more than one-tenth of all ship
ments. Also six per cent of the
sheep, more than II per cent of the

the public highways for trucking

,ure road programs. Substantial

SEED TREATMENT STOPS
SMUTTY WHEAT LOSSES

Greater use of formaldehyde and
copper carbonate in treating seed
wheat, as urged by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
experiemnt station of Minnesota and
adjacent states, is reflected in the re-
duction of the quantity of smutty
wheat reaching Minneapolis in 1927
from northwest farms.
According to R. P. Woodwork,
chairman of the Northwest Grain
Smut Prevention Committee, only one
car in IL received in Minneapolis in
1927 was graded as smutty as COM
pared to one car in every six so
graded in 1925. Marketings of smut
ty wheat were materially smaller last
year than in 1926. "The Improvement
was due in large measure to the in
tensive efforts of the farmers them
selves" says Mr.. Woodwork. Last
year they used nearly so per cent
more formaldehyde and copper car
Donate for treating their seed, to
make it more smut proof, than in
1926"
Smut in wheat results both in a
reduction in yield of grain per acre
and heavy price discounts. The COM
bined effort means a material loss for
each farm where smutty wheat is
produced. 1t is estimated by the
United States Department that in
1926 the reduction in yield of wheat
in this country because of smut
amounted to more than 33 million
bushels.
In addition to being an effective
agent for killing the smut spores
carried on seed wheat, experience has
shown that the copper carbonate
treatment has certain other advan-
tages. 1t is cheap, easy to apply, does
not injure the seed even when sown
in dry soil, and seed treated with it
can be stored without injury. Fur
thermore, it serves to protect stored
grain from weevils.

STUDENT SELF.SUPPORT
VALUE DEBATED ON CAMPUS

The practice of working ones way
through college, additionally noble
performance emitting the doer to un-
usual respect and regard, is being
challenged by several members of
the University of Minnesota faculty,
who point out that many students do
themselves more harm than good be-
cause they undertake more than they
can perform.
DR.. H. D. Lees of the Student
Health Service staff believes that the
average student makes a mistake in
trying to work his way through un-
less he seeks help from the student
loan funds or takes less than the nor
NAL amount of college work, and con-
sequently, longer to finish the col
lege course.
For the majority of students a
full load of college work plus three to
six hours of toll day is too much
of an undertaking" he said. "All
work and no play is bad thing. So
cial contacts, recreation, and partici-
patton in athletics are of great i'm
portance to young peoples health
and emotional stability.
"The breakdowns of working stu
dents are due, oftentimes, to improp-
er food and insufficient rest and re-
Taxation. The student, man or wo-
man, who is habitually out, cannot
work up to his mental capacity, so
college work suffers"
Another officer of the Health Ser
vice, DR.. Angus Morrison, reports
that among working students insult
ficient food and sleep, together with
worry over financial matters, is
not infrequent cause of breakdown.
students who come to me because
they are failing in their scholastic
work are almost never willing to adj
nit that outside work is holding them
back, although it often must be do
ing So was the opinion expressed by
Dean R. R. Shumway, who has an
nual contacts with several thousand
undergraduates. ''These students will
offer excuses of every sort rather
than agree to take a little less col
lege work so as to get back into bal
ance. They seem to take it as re-
Election on their ability if one i'm
plies that they are working too
hard"
On the other hand, DIR. Donald G.
Paterson of the department of psy-
chology pointed out that as many
students suffer from too much time
on their hands as do from too many
duties. A recent survey at Yale, he
said, showed that students who work.
ed outside the classrooms also came
nearer to living up to their mental
abilities than did those who had time
and money to spare.
DR.. Alvin E. Hansen of the depart
ment of economics said he found that
a students summer activities provid-
ed a good test of his caliber.
"The student who lazies away his
vacation can not return to school in
the fall with the renewed vigor and
enthusiasm aroused in the student
who has done hard, manual labor for
a few MONTHS" he said. 81 often
judge a students character and am
bition by his vacation activities"
University administrators are COM
ing to agree that increased loan
funds for the help of needy students
are the most efficient, and, in the long
run, most economical means to a solu-
ton of this problem.
