and carry rhythmic message worth
giving and worth repeating"

ORAL HYGIENE DIVISION
MAKING STEADY PROGRESS
Number of Counties Having
Dental Clinics Is Increasing

The division of Oral Hygiene-the
youngest section-of the Maryland
State Department of Health is year
old this month, and the report of the
Chief, DIR. Richard C. Leonard, shows
that the youngster has made steady
progress. Only three counties had
regular dental clinics, and few 9TH
ers had occasional clinics, in connec-
ton with the schools or for preschool
children, previous to 1929. The es-
Establishment of the Division of Oral
Hygiene marked the beginning OF
Statewide work, and during this first
year the number of counties having
dental clinics has increased to fifteen.
It is hoped that by the end of anoth-
er year every one of the twenty-three
counties in the State will be on this
list. .....
Reviewing the progress made dur
ing this first year, DR.. Leonard said:
"The outstanding fact is the almost
universal demand for the work from
every part of the State. Fifteen of
the twenty-three counties now have
school dental clinics functioning either
full time, half time or occasionally.
In most counties the facilities offered
are, as yet, inadequate to the needs.
But the start has been made and in
each county there is the promise of
enlargement of the program until the
goal, Mouth health for every child in
Maryland" may be gained.
"The clinic plan is as follows: All
of the children up to and including
the sixth grade are given dental ex-
animation and defects are recorded.
Parents are appraised of the need of
dental corrections by written notice.
Parents able to do so are urged to
take their children to private practi-
cling dentists. Children whose parents
are unable to take them to private
practitioners are invited to have the
necessary work done in the school
clinic, where small fee $50 cents per
operation) is charged, partially cover
ing the cost. The balance of the elm
ic expense is borne by local sponsor
ing group and the Division of Oral
Hygiene. The response to this plan
has been gratifying.
County Commissioners, Boards of
Education, the American Red Cross,
Parent-Teacher Associations and Civ
is Clubs have all, in various counties,
supported the program. Parents have
eagerly availed themselves of the OPP
portunity offered their children! The
Importance of mouth health is appre-
ciated all over Maryland.
"The active support of the dental
profession is particularly pleasing
They have not only responded splen-
didly by caring for the children COM
ing to them because of the examina-
ton but have given support to the
clinic itself in every phase of its
work.
"The Division of Oral Hygiene is
one year old. By the end of another
year it hopes to see school dental
clinics in every county in Maryland"

The, curiosity increased and more visitors came but the four men worked on, and now the vessel is nearly half in frame.
 We are building an Alaska ex- cursion vessel, me and the three helpers" said Capt. L. G. John son, mariner and ship carpenter, who is in charge of the work.
 When will she be ready for launching We'll it will be a long time yet.You see summer is quite a ways off; we are in no hurry"
 Captain Johnson is building the vessel for for Howard A. Cook of Seattle, who has bee interested small craft for several years. The new ship will be chartered for pri- vate cruises of Alaska waters. She will be equipped with a 2OO-horse power Diesel engine and is expec- ted to develop a speed of 10 knots.

'Speck of Light
New World Planet

FLAGSTAFF, AriZ., March IA
R-DiScovery Of a new world,
probably larger than the earth,
brought to mathematical astronomy
today its second achievement of the
kind.
The new and nameless planet,
whose appearance in Neptunian
space was first detected last Jan. 81
by an astronomy loving farmer boy
from Kansas, was heralded here
yesterday by an announcement by
DR.. v. M. Slipher of the Lowell OBJ
Servatory.
A strange "blotch Of light" on a
Photographic negative. registered by
an extremely delicate instrument at
the observatory, led to the discov-
cry. The speck OF light was noticed
by Clyde Tombaugh, the youne
student OF astronomy. and this led
to detection OF the heavenly body
bringing the known number OF ma
jor planets in the solar system tc
nine.
