Medical Care
BY LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, NJ. D..


A reader As years old who has
never had a toothache or had a
tooth pulled, writes that his wis
dom teeth came in late, and that
two of them r not completely
erupted yet. Should they be pulled
because they do not present a chew
ing surface?
In the absence of any trouble,
toothache Or decay, it would GER
talnly be the concensus of conserv-
alive opinion that wisdom teeth,
whether erupted or not, should be
let alone. Perhaps a dental X-ray
would be advisable in view of the
tendency to late eruption, to see
that they are not impacted. and
not Infringing on nerve trunks or
other teeth, though in the absence
OF toothache Or discomfort such a
contingency is rather remote. Wis

many are able to chew we'll with

Flabby Muscles
Why do muscles that are not ex-

The contraction of a muscle, sim

changes that can occur in the body.
Energy is released beause oxygen

Tactic acid r formed as by-pro-

Now It's Halifax

With the presumably inspired announcement
by the British Press Associations parliament
tary correspondent that Lord Halifax appoint
ment to be British ambassador to the United
States awaits only President Rooseveltis ap-
proval, another name is added to the length
ening list of potential ENJOYS to succeed the
late Lord Lothian, whose death created near
CONSERVATION both in Washington and London.
Anthony Eden, the Duke of Windsor and Lloyd
George had previously been mentioned in Lon
don dispatches for this important post.
1t is hard to appraise Lord Halifax's stand
ing or estimate his value as an ambassador in
the trying years ahead for England and this
country. He. may have undergone a change of
heart since he participated so ardently in the
appeasement program of Premier Chamber
lain, and if he has, if he is now as whole.

placating the dictators, there could be no
reasonable objection to his appointment, for

this change has taken place. Else Winston
Churchill would hardly have retai-ed him in
the British cabinet. Nor would his name now
come up in discussions of who may succeed
Lord Lothian when Britain is seeking more
and more support from the United States in
her war effort.
If the appointment should go to him, the
vacancy in the British cabinet his departure
for Washington would create-the portfolio OF

BY PAUL

And this is the guy who, casting
directors insisted, never could be
a leading man. The last time he
was turned down It Fox some
body sympathetically explained to
him, You're not pretty enough"
It's true he isn't pretty. Glenn

name Gwyllyn Samuel Newton,
has an angular frame and face,
an oversize mouth, and eyes of an
indeterminate slate = blue brown.
He's "a, but very young looking,

But there's nothing timid or be-

dramatic background of more than

Ford also has been, briefly, a

violin and once thought he might
have a career in music. He learned

Book Highlights

1t would be difficult to pick a
man better qualified to tell Ameri-
cans how the English were TAX
ing the wa" than j.. B. Prestley.
He does it in a most interesting
new book Britain Speaks" (Har-
pers: $3.50.
In the first place, Priestley is
one of these Flint, fortnight men
from Yorkshire who also has spent
the better part of 20 years in
various circles in London. In the
second place, he knows consider
ably more about how Americans
think and talk tnan most British
authors, not only because he has
spent many happy months with
his family in Arizona, but also
because he travelled widely in the
United States.
1t has sometimes been said that
Priestley's pieces are just clever
British propaganda. That is so
only to the extent that the truth
full presentation Of the facts as an
eloquent man sees them is pro-
paganda. The chapters in this
book r his week by week views
of men and matters in the great
est crisis Britain ever faced.
In his anger he flashes out sem
fences like this:
"Naziism is no more simply
European than typhoid fever is
simply European"
Priestley does not sit in an ivory
tower and suck out of his thumb
what he THINKS the British people
ought to think. He gets right down
on the ground, riding in buses,
patronizing restaurants. watching
his fellow couhtrymen when the
raiders come, experiencing their
discomforts and their dangers.
And, as the fruit of this observa-
ton, after weeks of blitzkrieg from
the air, he sizes up the situation
by saying mis- people, whatever
their faults-and he sees many
are psychojogically tougher and
more naturally resourceful than
the regimented Germans.
Some of the delights of the book
are the occasional etchings of men
and events. Thus he depicts a
session of the House of Commons.
Prime Minister Churchill m
in, looking rather pale and solemn.
He seats himself beside the mas
sive Ernest Bevin, the famous
fighting labor leader, who is his
minister of Labor and National
Service. AS he does SO, Churchill
gives Bevin a playful dig in the
ribs and flashes a smile at him.
Adds Priestley:
Nothing gave me such a grand
sudden lift of the heart as the
sight of that wonderful lightning
grin, which was like a miraculous
glimpse of the inner man, who is
a complete man, but is also, like
SO many formidable men, a boy
at heart"

FLOPPED IN
TWO TESTS

About the only person who con-
s~istently believed in Ford was Tom

were pretty bad. Later, a third

certain he had no cha in movies
anyway, he clowned and ad lbbet
through the test. 1t turned out fine
But his first picture, an item
