DENTAL PROFESSION
FACTS AND PALACES
EndeavOr To Improve Mouth
Health Conditions a Task

Speaking of the tasks confronting
the dental profession in its endeav-
ors to improve mouth health condi-
tions, DR.. Richard C. Leonard, Chief
of the Division of Oral Hygiene of
the Maryland State Department Of
Health, said: zone of the tasks fac
ing the dental profession is to over
come the superstitions and wrong
ideas that people have about their
teeth. AS in other superstition, there
is no scientific foundation for these
beliefs.
"For instance, one will repeatedly
hear the statement, the birth of ev-
cry child costs mother tooth.
Years ago the lack of proper diet and
dental care did play havoc with the
expectant mothers teeth. But if a
proper prenatal diet is followed and
especial care-both at home and by the
family dentists taken, there is no
need of any dental trouble and GER
tainly no occasion for the loss of a
tooth.
another fallacy is that it is dan
gerous to have an expectant mothers
teeth treated or filled. To do so is
wrongly supposed to risk some dental
disored in the child. This belief has
caused many women to suffer from
toothache for weeks and months. This
is unnecessary. Teeth can be treated
and filled, except in rare cases, up I'M
til month or few weeks prior to the
child's birth, not merely without en-
dangering the child but, to the con-
trary, safeguarding the mothers
health.
perhaps the worst fallacy concern
ing the teeth is the widespread belief
that care of (filling) the first or baby
teeth is unnecessary and unimpor-
tant. This belief is absolutely wrong.
First, because baby teeth are body
organs with particular tasks to per-
form. Their neglect binders the per-
Torrance of these tasks. Second, neg
lect can result in their becoming a
source of body infection through alb
scesses at their roots. Eyes, contrary
to the belief of many, baby teeth do
have roots.) Finally, the neglect of
the first baby teeth may necessitate
their extraction and later result in
crooked permanent teeth.
'Baby teeth are expected to serve
their purpose until child is ten or
eleven years of age. To fulfill this
expectation they must be examined
regularly, cleaned regularly and
treated and filled as occasion de-
mands. Take care of the baby teeth.
"Still another mistake made by
many parents is in regard to the So
called six year molars. These four
teeth, which erupt between five and
seven years of age, in line with, but
back of the baby teeth, are permanent
teeth. They erupt usually before any
of the baby teeth are normally shed.
They are permanent, not baby teeth.
"These teeth are of particular i'm
portance not only as grinders of food
but as regulators of the position of
the other permanent teeth. Many par
ents can scarcely believe so young a
child has other than baby teeth es-
pecially, as is so often said when no
baby teeth have come out But make
no mistake. They are permanent
teeth and if lost through neglect will
never be replaced by succeeding

b.stitution authorizes the governor to nominate only the judges of the su- preme and superior courts. The same objection has been raised against the nominations of sfive common pleas judges, now before the judiciary committee.
 Among the bills passed by the house were those which would: Provide for refunding of taxes paid by veterans and extend the time for filing of exemption applications. Authorize the town of Ridgefield to issue $150,000 state aid roads bonds. Provide for the advertisement of building ordinances in Hamden and the publication of title and state
 ments before hearing by the board
 of selectmen. The following bills were rejected
 by the house on unfavorable reports of committees:
 Dividing the city of Torrington into four voting districts. ! Consolidating the town and bor- ough of Greenwich.
 The house also rejected, on an un-
 favorable report, a bill providing
 for payment of insurance benefits
 because of unemployment and which
 would set up a commission to hear and decide upon claims and form an
 insurance company to insure liabili-
 ties of employers for unemployment The bill previously was rejected in the senate.

An unexpended balance of $70,- 562.z3 remains in the 1880 budget of the city of Waterbury. December 31, 1880, concluding one of the most successful financial twelve month periods in many years. This is shown by the annual statement of the city's financial condition pub lished in advertisement form in an- other part of the paper. Mayor Frank Hayes, in issuing this state- nent, follows out a promise he made before the last city election that he would acquaint the taxpayers with the work carried on by his adminis- to the city's financial condition.
 The salient features of the report are briefly outlined as follows:
 The statement shows that the city's borrowings which amounted to two million dollars on December 31. 1929, have been reduced to one mill lion as of December 31, 1880.
 It shows further that the borrow ings against bond funds on notes made during 1890 which amounted to $445,000, have all been paid back to bond funds against which the money was borrowed.
 The report further states that $1,- 433,27e.66 in cash has been restored to bond funds and special funds to repay amounts diverted from these funds for general purposes during 1899.
 This shows, then, that one million dollars in temporary loans has been paid off in 1880. After reducing

EUGENE O'NEILL FIGHTS THE SUIT
 FOR PLAGIARISM
Miss Georges Lewys, the Plaintiff Had Tough Time on Stand Strange In- terIude" Was the Target

New York. March 13.-(UP).- Plots for the books of Miss Georges Lewys, suing Eugene O.Neill for s2.- 00O.000 on plagiarism charges, were derived from the life of frQueen Ma rife of Ramania and other royalty, and from conversation of congress men, she admitted before going into court again today. The admissions were brought from her on the stand, and in the form of letters introduced as testimony yesterday. which was far from happy day for the Auburn- haired self-styIed sliterary genius submitted to revealing ques- tipns by attorneys for O'Neill, the Theater Guild, and Boni i-Liveright, publishers, co-defendantss
 The plagiarism allegedly com
 mitted by O'Neill was in Strange Interlude." Miss Lewys, whose non- literary name is Lewis. said plot characters and situations and even dialogue were lifted from her work
 ''The Temple Pallas-Athenae." De- fense attorneys claimed that if o. Neill plagiarized anything, it was the simple English style of the King James version of the Bible.

, loans made against bond funds and special funds the million and one half dollars, the city had on hand in bond funds, special funds
 surplus resources, sinking funds and general treasury funds nearly two million dollars on December 31, 193O. Late in 1880 necessary equipment for the proper conduct of various city departments was purchased out
 of the 1880 appropriations, thus eliminating the necessity of appro- priating money in the 1881 budget
 to provide funds to make these pur- chases.
 After deducting these funds from
 the 1880 appropriations, and taking care of over expenditures of the public welfare department made necessary by the present unemploy- ment situation, there remained a balance of over $70,000 which has
 been unexpended in the 1880 bud- get
 This is the first time in many years that the city government has
 been so conducted that the expendt- lures of the year did not exceed the
 budget appropriations made by. the
 board of aldermen.
 The entire deficit of the city in 1928, amounting to $396,735, was paid off in full and $628,922.8O was spent on major Improvements This is the last quarterly state

 Among those who have declared for Cermak is gulius Rosenwald, the philanthropist, who announced upon returning from Honolulu that "Chi- cago cant stand another four years of Thompson"
 Straw votes taken by newspapers indicate Thompson is facing one of the hardest fights of the career which three times has carried him to the mayorship. Every vote taken has shown him trailing. thing new to him even in straw voting.
 An official attack upon Cremall has been launched by Ernest Stout, one of four minor candidates in the race. He contends in a petition to election commissioners that Ger mak's real name is Lundoa Cher maka that it will be- illegal for him to run under any other. He claims Cermak, native of Bohemia, has not officially changed his name since coming here many years ago.

 Troup nominated Governor Cross at the New London convention.
 The nominations aroused more than sectional interest because of two factors, first that they had been delayed several days by negotiations
 over various candidates and second that the question of constitutionality
 has been raised against the practice
 of the governor naming inferior court judges. A statute providing for nomination of New Haven city court judges by the governor in stead of by joint resolution of the general assembly was slipped
 through several sessions back. Now some authorities maintain the con-
