SAN FRANCISCO, Sept "a
The plastics industry has evolved
a substance which may provide
wearers Of false teeth with more
efficient and better looking chew
ing apparatus, DIR. Walter II.
Wright of Pittsburgh, Pa, reported
today TO the Golden Gate Dental
Congress.
II IL called acrylic resin. In Its
naturally finished state 1t Is trans-
parent. DIR. Wright, an authority
on dental plates, said that this
property makes 1t possible for a
dentist actually to see through his
work and thus give more precise
fittings.
That part of the plate fitting the
Jaws can be left transparent and
the portions holding the artificial
teeth can be covered to resemble
natural gums, DR.. Wright said.
The dentist even can make the
transparent part and fit 1t care
fully and then mould onto 1t the
colored portion bearing the teeth.

Natures Children
Cranberry
(Vaccinium macrocarpOn)

are now known. Among the condi-
tions required are an acid peat soil,
constant and ample water supply
for irrigation, both for protecting
the plants in winter and drink dur
ing dry spells in summer. and pro-
vision for draining the swamp to a
depth of 18 inches when necessary
to do so.
Before the World War it cost
about $500 an acre to bring the plant
to fruiting age. 1t now costs 81 500
plus. In the meantime, much has
been learned about raising this very
delicious berry, and the increased
demand has made the industry far
more important for the growers.
We have three types Of cranberry
One only is OF real commercial
value-the common, large-fruited
variety. The moss or speckled one
and the European cranberry have
not proven worthwhile In view Of
all the work and trouble involved.
The cranberry vine consists of up
rights and runners. Uprights never
bloom the first year. The runner
has lateral buds, to be found in the
axis Of the leaves, and a terminal
bud at the end. The plant is thrifty,
having perfected scheme to pro-
vide for emergencies. If the lateral
bud is not needed, it remains dor
mant. An injury to the terminal
bud brings it at once into action. It
is the terminal bud on the runners
that continues the growth of the
cranberry vine.
The blooming season is from June
through July. climate, of course,
governing. Each blossom has a
slender pistil surrounded by five
stamens with wee openings at tbs
tips, from which issue tiny pollen
grains to fertilize the flowers.
Bumblebees and honey bees are i'm
portant partners in the game to
both flower and farmer. After the
bees call, the stamens and petals
drop and the berry grows swiftly to
maturity, which may be In any
where from go to 80 days.
The thousands Of steps necessary
to bring to the market the beautiful
crimson berry is romantic story of
perseverance. We wonder how the
delectable fruit will next be served.
From its first place on the table as
jelly, 1t has made great strides.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

1t was 100 years after the first
crop of cranberries was planted in
Eastern Massachusetts, before they
were thoroughly appreciated. Like
the tomato, the berry had q rather
hard time becoming popular. On
the menu we now see 1t listed as a
refreshing drink to begin the more
hearty meal or ground up with
orange peel for a salad.
With the exception of a few hun
dred acres planted to cranberries in
Canada, Massachusetts, was the pio-
neer State in this venture, Cape Cod
being the principal section. Today
the pine-barren region Of New Jer-
sey and the central and northern
part Of Wisconsin have large areas
planted to this fruit, and the indus
