WOOD CHALLENGES METAL IN JEWElRY
Pressed Cotton Also Enters Field
 -Cbokers Back Again

New York, April 16 tUP)-The choker is easily the most exploited type of costume jewelry for sum- mer. Styles sponsored by the French couture in the spring open- ings placed the choker in first posi- ton. However, it is distinctly dit- feren: from the choker of other Sea sons, both in its design and in the novelty composition of the beads
 Twisted. braided or graduated strands of tiny beads i'll multiple arrangements are fostered. these are caught by enameled ornaments. Wood, compressed cotton beads which have been tinted, metal. glass. and enamel indicate the var iety of styles presented.
 Wood seems to be particularly exploited, both in choker and rope lengths. This is painted, carved. , and in addition. comes in the Nari- ous shades of the natural wood. in- cluding walnut, amethyst wood and | ebony. The newest style is that ! which introduces marquetry. the 1 inlaid batter being formed both of l tinted and natural woods, Crystals and pearls offer neu- tral style both for day and eve- nihg fer those who do not desire colorful types. But color is also featured in pearls, which are arr ranged in various ombre effects. in- cooperating four distinct shades. One ranges from vanilla to brown. with the sun-tan tones between. another runs from mauve to tokay Ga rich grape coloring) and in ad- dition, chartreusc is being widely sponsored, alone or in combination with yellow.
 Never have handbags for sum- mer offered 50 refreshing divers ity. This is due largely to the ex- ploitation of the fabric bag which played so important a role in south- ern resort fashions. Printed and embroidered silk. linen and cotton was seen. also Toyo staw in jac- guard designs of two colors, silk kid in q wide range of colorings. Shoe calf and patent leather also contribute to the scope of hand bag compositions.
 Quilted designs appear again in ir all the sports tones is quilted in allover fashion making soft back pr top strap pouches. or envelopes.

DENTIST FINISHES
 HIS EXAMINATION Dr.. ZWick Now Working on
 Teeth Of School Childrtu TWO YOUTHFUL "DRUNKS" Boys Is and 16 Years Old Found 1n- toxicated-Court Session Tonight -"13" Superstition Defied-To Elect Lecturcr-Bcriin Items.

Dr. Andrew Zwick. school dentist ed the examination of the teeth Of the pupils in. the various schools Of the town and at the present time iS engaged in filling and extracting teeth of those pupils whose parents have requested that the work be done. Miss Mary Gris~o old. superin- tendent of schools. stated this morn- ing that the work was much needed in most cases although there were a few pupils found to have perfect teeth. The majority of the children, however, need some work done. and ct present Dr. Zwick is at the Ken sington grammar school engaged in that work. Miss Grisvold said his time would be taken up by the pupils of the town for the rest of the school year.
 Miss Grisw old stated that the work of the dentist was greatly appreciat- cd by the parents of the older pupils but that there was some objection on the part of many parents in the case of the younger ones. The parents feel that as the teeth will, in most cases, loosen and come out. it is 8 waste of effort 10 have them re- filled at the present time. It is hop ed. however. that this will be made clear to them in the near future and that those parents will clearly see the necessity of the care of the teeth in all stages of their develop ment. She stated that if was neces- sary that the first teeth be properly taken care of before the permanent teeth may be correctly and finally developed.
 The work of inspecting the teeth of the pupils has been completed sooner than was thought possible at first and the dentist is able to be at the kensington school for the re- mainder Of the school year. At this school he will be filling the teeth and extracting those that need to come out. The parents Of the pupils are required to fill blanks before any work may be done by the school dentist
 Dr. Zwick is at the school every morning and will be at his ofice in the afternoon of each day. Pupils may have work done at his once if there Is any work of a more serious natue than cannot be readily attend ed to at the school.
