Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

One of the greatest contribu-
tions of modern scientific den
tistry to human happiness Is the
practice known as orthodontia-
Strengthening of the teeth.
A set of sound, orderly teeth,
suitably adapted to the mouth of
the individual, is an asset not
only for appearance but also for
speech. Nowadays, intelligent
parents begin to think promptly
about orthodontia when they OBJ
serve irregularities in the child's
teeth.
Since children lose their first
set OF teeth and then get a per-
manent set, parents always want
to know when the best time mas
arrived for undertaking ortho-
dontic work. DIR. Don c. Lyons
has described several groupings
of crooked teeth and indicates
that the correction time depends
on the nature of the condition.
Children who have a narrow
arch and high palate, or roof of
the mouth, must have their teeth
brought into normal opsition by
appliances which will expand the
arch. This procedure is started
early, while the temporary mol
airs are in place, provided these
teeth still have fully developed
roots. If, however, the roots have
already started TO be absorbed,
then the Strengthening proce-
dure must be delayed until the
permanent bi-cuspids are fully
in place.
Another group Of cases is that
in which the lower jaw lags be-
hind the upper jaw in growth so
that a receding chin results.
Here the doctor must determine
by the use of the X-rsy and
other studies whether the reced-
ing chin is due To lack of de-
velopment of the face as a whole
or simply to underdevelopment
of the lower jaw bone.
Among the worst Of the cases
are those In which the child has
difficulty In closing his lips, and
there are others in which the
trouble has been caused by suck
ing the fingers.
When children lose their first
teeth too soon. there is a ten
dency toward deformity. and the
ortodontist applies space retain
ers TO maintain proper space be-
tween the teeth until the second
teeth come in
The decision in every case
must be made by q dentist who
understands these matters. The
parent who is wise viii take the
child 10 the dentist al the first
opportunity SO that growth Of
the teeth may be watched regu-
larry from childhood through
adolescence

sgenda-of the trip were work.
ed out by the president, Mr..
Hull and Mr.. Welles at a 90
minute conference two days be-
fore FDR announced it. II had
been under discussion for sew
eral weeks.
1t is true that Mr.. Hull had
some difficulty IN persuading
the president to make any peace
gesture at this time. As the
pope said in his message TO the
White House, now is not the
opportune moment for interven-
ton. But in a series of conf
Dental evening conferences, the
secretary of state sold two major
ideas to the president, to wit:
% In view of a prospective fierce
spring offensive, he should have
the latest and most accurate
data available; and (2) he should
begin to line up neutral and re-
hgious sentiment for a just and
permanent peace, unlike the
Versailles treaty. Mr.. Roose-
welt finally assented to both
propositions. 1t was agreed that
Mr.. Hull should handle the prob
lem of postwar reorganization,
and that somebody else should
go abroad.
Selecting a man for the last
named assignment was a deli
cate task. At first there was
talk of a business man - an
other Myron C. Taylor. But it
became obvious that only a
trained diplomat "a cold, un-
emotional, analytical, non-com-
municative fellow-could do the
job. And the only man who
fits that description is the I'M
dersecretary of state.
Compelling-cordell Hulrs po-
litical forces have excavated an
extremely potent argument on
behalf of his nomination for the
presidency-and one that strikes
directly at John Nance Gamers
chances. In fairness to the sec
rotary of state, who has adopted
an almost too meticulous atti-
tude of indifference to his for
tunes, it should be recorded that
he is ignorant of these intrigues.
His volunteer sideline rooters
point out that the colored vot-
ers hold the balance of power
in six influential states-N. Y,
Pa, III, Mich, Ohio, Ind. Their
electoral votes amount to more
than the total for all the states
in the Deep South. The Negroes
vote in these northern common
wealths, whereas they don't in
the southern area. Now, mere
is where the pno-Hull, anti
Garner argument enters the sit
uation: The Negroes vote, or
are voted, in Tennessee - and
how!-whereas they are not al
lowed to approach the polls in
Texas. Ergo. the colored popu-
lace should favor the secretary
of state over the vice president.
The argument is all the more
compelling, so the Hull men
contend, in view of the COPS
drive TO coax the colored voters
back to the party Of Abraham
Lincoln - which they deserted
en- masss when Franklin d.
Roosevelt came singing and
swinging along.

IN NEW YORK

one of the best known restau-
rants is Dempsey's Gust like in

house is named Fan and Bill;
that the spot for Chinese food
is Ruby Zoos. Just like on SIND

throng the streets are named
Milton Berle, Abe Lyman, Kay

Joan Abbott, Everett Marshall;
and that even New York's

Apparently the only New York
landmark missing is Mayor La

he will pop out of a plane. He'd

SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR A PICNIC LUNCH
Given by Nutritionist, Blu.
reau Child Hygiene,
Health Department

Going on picnic? Here are
some suggestions or a picnic lunch
from the Nutritionist of the Bur
eau Of Child Hygiene of the Mary
land State Department of Health:
Now that summer is here, it is
much more fun to eat out-of-doors
in cool, shaded woods than at
nome. But in picnicking, remem-
Der that il is just as important to
have balanced meal in the coun-
try as it is at home!
with the many open CRATES
available, il is easy to have some
hot food, as we'll as cold. Vege-
tables can be partially cooked at
home and the cooking finished on
the picnic ground.
Hamburg cakes plain or mixed
with cheese can be shaped at home
and quickly cooked over the open
tire. For those who prefer cook
ing their food on sticks, kabobs
made of alternate pieces of lamb
or beef and bacon furnish a deli
cious main dish.
Vegetables can be used in a
salad which can be assem- bled at
home, wrapped in wax paper, and
the dressing added just before eat
ing.
Interesting vegetable sticks
can be made from carrots, cucum-
bers, and celery. Radishes and
green onions will dad variety in
texture and color to the picnic
meal.
Fruit is particularly good for
picnics because it is so easy to
carry. Melons, watermelon, pine
apple, peaches or pears make an
ideal dessert that is ready without
the slightest effort.
Milk or plain fruit juices are
the best drinks for the whole fam
lily and can be kept cool in a Their
mos jug. Cookies served with them
make a good combination.
IF an open CRATE is not available
thermos jugs can be used to carry
a steaming, tasty stew, a hot soup
or a creamed meat or vegetable
dish.
