Ry the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March 2.-Death
has claimed another geological
oddity-King Joseph the First,
said to have been the only At
rican secretary bird with an arti-
fetal leg.
It looked like the end for King
Joe when he broke his leg two
years ago while at his favorite
diversion of tormenting the ante
lopes in the Detroit Zoo. But
Theodore Schroeder. keeper of
the ZOO, fashioned wooden leg
which Joe soon learned to ma
nipulate.
For greater strength and less
weight, Joe traded in the wooden
leg for an aluminium limb last
year. and that served him until
his death.
Secretary bird gets its name
from a crest Of feathers resem-

TEETH
 RULE CONDITION

ImpOrtance of. care of infant teeth cannot be streased toe highly. since, experts declare, the condi- ton and development of the first set regulates the condition and de- veiopment of the permanent teeth. Proper spacing and health of the permanent set is governed by the baby teeth, as they are called. The natural growth of permanent teeth requires that they push out the first set. Any gaps in the hrst set. as result. cause the perma- nent teeth to grow in out of align ment. Also. any decay in the first set Is likely to be transferred to the permanent teeth.
 Children should be taught mouth hygiene as soon as possible. Exam- nation by a dentist is as important in the first set as it is later in life. The child should learn how to brush his teeth as soon as possible and further should be taught to chew his food carefully. since chewing is an aid to proper spac- ing of the teeth. thus assistine in avoidance of crowding ana crook edness. Milk and foods rich an bone building qualities help proper tooth growth.
