ooth Decay Viewed
 AsNutritionalDisor
Dental Authorities Now Entertain New Theory Forn= erly Held Decay as Disease-PreventiOn Important

detects such Assures, he will put in a prophylactic filling and so prevent spread of decay in that tooth and to other teeth.
 Percentages
 Experience has shown, Dr. Erlen7 bach said, that most people have dental decay. This includes young children in whom tooth decay starts soon after the teeth erupt. Between the ages of 1-2 and 12 years, ap- proXimately seven deciduous teeth of the average child decay, of which more than three will form abscesseS. which are particularly pernicious at young ages since the infection may be carried through the blood stream to other parts of the body. It is es- timated that, of a child's sixth year molars. approximately four will de- cay between six and 16 years if not repaired early, and that two of these will abscesS if no attention is given them. With regular dental attention at an early age, control of decay will be established earlier and the num- Der of cavities per child may be cut in half. This, in turn, will automa- tically reduce the number of absces- ses and the resultant danger of in- lection. Prevention, then, is the key note of dental health.

EXILE MAY END FOR
 ABD-EL-KRIM
Moroccan Warrior Called Staunchly PrO-French
 Now in Report
By H. G. KING

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris, Jan 11.-(UP)-During the recent meeting of the North Af- rican Coordination Committee in Paris, in the course of which for n1er Premier Albert Sarraut, pres 1dent of the committee laid down the genaral outlines of wide-scale reforms which are to be carried out 1n Morocco, Algeria and Tunis, the question of the eventual return of Abd-el-Krim to his motherland was discussed.
 The question was preached by M.' Lucien Gasparin, member of Par lament for Reunion Island where Abd-el-Krim has been in exile dur ing the past Il years. M. Gasparin pleaded eloquently in favor of Abd- -el-Krim. He read a letter from Major Verines, former commander of the Reunion gendarmerie, in whose charge Abd-el-Krim was placed. Major Verines stated in his guarantee that the sentiments of the Moroccan chief were now very pro-French."
 Aid To France Seen
 Verines continued by pointing out that in his present state of mind the return of Abd-el-Krim to Mor- occo could not fail to be of the greatest use to us in fighting cer- tain anti-French propaganda which is now being carried on in Moroc- CO.,"
 In further defense of Abd-el- Krim's francophile sentiments it was mentioned that his five sons all have received a truly French education in the Reunion college and that the eldest is soon to join the French army.
 Replying to these arguments, Sarraut said that he would give the question thorough examina- tion and that, Eff return to Nor occo-which has already been dis cussed several times-should not be possible, I will nevertheless study the possibility of -el-Krim's taking up residence in France"
 Propaganda Fight Declared
 In conjunction with this discus sion the members of the North Af- rican Coordination committee ex- amined the increasing anti-French propaganda which is being carried on in Morocco.
 Sarraut said he was determined to fight propaganda being carried cn "by foreign powers" He said a plan for intensified counter pro- pnganda by radio was being put in- to effect and that French authori- ties would not hesitate to carry out wholesale expulsions of the trouble makers.
 He promised that everything would be done to better the lot of the native. both socially and econ- 0. aically, but the government, he said was determined to put down any subversive movement, from whatever political party it might come, with firm hand.

 on Merritt Parkway
(SpeciaI to The Democratl

Hartford, Jan. IA fresh eX- ample of apparently mistaken en- gineering on the layout of the Mer- ritt Parkway is being investigated by George Burke, chief engineer for the Department of Public Works, following reports that stretch of land in the town of Westport was laid on the wrong route and may have to be torn up and replaced.
 The contract for the job is held by the Osborne-Barnes company of Danbury. who was the lowest bidder. The bid of the Osbone-Barnes company was $230,000.
 This is apparently the newest angle in the controversy over the Merritt Parkway. The work on this piece of highway has been sus- pended.
 The legislative council met at the state capital yesterday and af- ter long deliberations put off in- vestigating the Merritt Parkway and the State Highway Department, be- cause the council felt that the Grand Jury can and will make more sweeping and exhaustive check of all of the transactions of the de- partment.

So closely is proper diet linked with the occurrence of dental disease in the opinion of the dental profes- sion that tooth decay is being con- sidered as perhaps a symptom rather than a disease, indicating nutrition al disorder. This statement was made today by Dr. Franklin M. Er- lenback. chief of the division of mouth hygiene of the state depart ment of health, in a department broadcast in which he explained that prevention of dental disease was the combined responsibility of each person and the dentist.
 Cavity Formation
 Stating that research workers have labored tirelessly to uncover more and more of the mysteries connect ed with cavity formation. Dr. Er- lenbach said that laboratory experi- ments with animals have shown that animals with a deficiency in any one of the vitamins, notably A, c, or D, will suffer irreparable de- fects in bone and tooth formation. n N1ldLAl144 10 d oQOoVGl44CC PA III food which is necessary to proper and the absence of which produces deficiency diseases. Growth and development are best stimulated by an opimum diet con- taining the essential food elements when there is sufficient variety of foods every day.
 It is generally agreed, he declared, that adequate daily diet is the great est factor in prevention of dental decay and that nutritional disturb ances caused by mental upsets, anx- iety and over-exertion may affect tooth development, but also that developed teeth will contain cracks called Assures, which offer favorable places for decay. Since it is impossible for the lay person to know when teeth contain Assures, the one way to find them and to prevent decay is to see the dentist regularly. When the dentist

INDIANS LEARN
 TO MUSCLE IN ON UNCLE SAM
Reward for Liquor Spying Basis of Racket in Southwest
By CARL McCLUNG

United Press Staff C0rreSp0ndent)
 Flagstaff, Ariz., (UP)-Jan. H. The Indian racketeer is appearing in some parts of Arizona and New Mexico.
 The reason for the Indian slump into the white mans habits appears to be the Federal governments well-meant generosity in its pro- gram for protecting it's charges from the great paleface vice-liquor.
 The government, to keep fire water" out of the thirsty Indian threats, has offered informers $25 rewards for information leading to arrest of persons selling or giving whisky or other intoxicantS to h. dians.
 A group of smart redskins has taken advantage of the law-on a far-reaching basis.
 The Indians quit the reservation and wait at Flagstaff, Gallup, N. M, and other railroad points, for tram sients or tourists who apparently know nothing of the law forbidding purchase of intoxicating liquor for Indians.
 How Racket Works
 Then a request is made to "buy me a bottle," and if the transient accedes, the Indian "cuts and runs" across town to the nearest police officer. He whispers:
 That white man wants to sell me whiskey."
 About the time the tourist vic- time walks out of the liquor store, he is confronted by county or Federal officer and is taken to jail.
 Although several paying tourists have been arrested, the Indians prefer to single out transients and wanderers, who usually are unable to hire an attorney and thus cause repercussions of the incident to reach high officials in the govern ment service.
 Total Not Known
 No check is available on the amount the government has paid in rewards to the red "stool pig eons," but Yavapai county alone collected $68O during a month for of whom were arrested on the h. dians' charges.
 During the last summer, Yavapai county officials estimate an aver age of 20 victims" of the racket were held at the same time for 90- day sentences at total cost of $1,- 800 for food alone.
 The smart boys" who have grown fat on the racket are said to have forsaken their reservation hogans for homes and "honky-tonks' of white mans settlements along the Santa Fe.
 They now hire other Indians to do the work" even as do white racketeers. They fight and muscle in" for territories in the railroad towns and conduct themselves much as their counterparts in the outer world
 And, in Flagstaff, they laugh when they hear talk of "big city slickers."
