Baseball is NUTS and SPORTS
writers are NUTTIER, 1 said to My
Boy Friend after waiting one-hali
Cb) hour for him to get through
reading about the National GAME
which / bet is NOT the National
GAME if the Gallup Poll would
ONLY TRY to find OUT instead
of WASTING their time on POT1-
TICS five Months before the Elec-
ton.
Have YOU Got to TAKE Up
Baseball MOANED the BF: I Should
THINK One Subject YOU know
Nothing About would be PLENTY
without You Adding Another to
Your Repertoire of Things AM
Ignorant About But Willing to
Talk About
Well If You Are So Smart I said,
/ Will Prove to You that In the
FIRST Place 1 do Know Something
About 1t and In the Second Place
If / did Know Nothing About it 1t
is the Sports writers FAULT. No
body Unless THEY spent Years
Learning the KEY can Possibly Tell
What they Are Talking Abouts. The
Only Reason ANYONE reads the
DARN Stories for is to show off
that they Have Memorized List
.of DUMB Names, and the Only
sReason the Sportswriters write like
sthat is to KEEP their Jobs. No one
.else can REMEMber all those silly
NAMES about Pirates, All colors of
SOx and birds and ANIMALS.
In the First Place, naming them
because of their Sox is silly as its
bound to be Confusing. After all,
Red. blue and Green and MAYBE
yellow are the only COLors, with
white and black, they can wear
any how. Who wants to be known
as the PINK SoX and the Eleanor
Roosevelt blue SOx anyhow. With
about Six colors there are bound
to be several teams called the Red
Sox which is Dumb so they Have
to lug in the Name of the Town.
And if that Isn't ENOUGH, They
Give each team another Name Like

Dental SocietY's Plan
To Treat Indigents
Outlined al Meeting
Social Agencies Unit
Hears Dr.. Lynch on
Office-Visit System

A program to provide dental care
for INDECENT persons that has beer
tentatively adopted by the District
Dental Society was outlined at q
forum discussion sponsored by the
Health Education Committee of the
Council of Social Agencies yester-
day.
DR.. Daniel F. Lynch, president
elect Of the dental society, told the
group at Che luncheon meeting that
the plan called for persons to be
certified by the Health Security Ad-
ministration. a Community Chest
agency, and treated at volunteer
dentists Offices.
DR.. Lynch explained that this ap-
peared to be a better method of
giving such service. rather than es-
tablishment of additional clinics
here. since dentists would lose con-
siderable time travelling between
their Offices and clinics.
The Security Administration, the
speaker continued, would certify as
to the patients inability to pay the
full fees for treatment and the den-
fists would take the cases on ap-
pointment, just as though the pa
tients were private cases.
Study Being Pursued.
DR.. Lynch said the program has
not been launched pending a more
thorough study. Execution will re-

quire the cooperation OF the Secur-
ity Administration, he declared.
During discussion period, DR.
George G. Rutland, District health
ofncer, raised the question OF the
practicability of the plan when con-
sidering the fact that INDECENT per-
sons, without transportation fGcili-
ties, would have to call at an office
at some distant point from theil
homes. Clinics located in some ares
where INDECENT persons reside would
be preferable from this viewpoint
DR.. Ruhland said.
DR.. A. Harry Ostrow, director Of
dental services of the Health De-
partment, said the program among
elementary school children is in
adequate, but pointed to consider.
able progress in reducing the per.
centage with defective teeth. Since
1920, he said, the percentage with
defects has been reduced from about
80 to SO last year.
Nine Dental Clinics.
The Health Department conducts
nine dental clinics in elementary
schools, he said. The work is done
with the cooperation of the District
Congress Of Parent Teacher Associa-
tions and the District Dental Society
he said.
DR.. c. Willard Camalier, past
president of the American Dental
Association, told of that body's effort
to have the head of the Nation S
medical services designated a men,
ber of the Presidents cabinet. The
first consideration in a long range
program of dental treatment among
the INDECENT calls for study of dental
diseases, he said. Legislation that
would provide $4,000 for such a
study by the United States Public
Health Service is now pending in
Congress, he explained.

State Police, Gives Talk
OFFICER JACOBS SPOKE

In connection with their present
survey of the ever-present crime
problem in this country the mem
bers of the Senior Civics class at
John Bassett Moore School have
had the privilege Of listening to
two men engaged in preventing
and detecting crime. Yesterday
morning in the auditorium Mr.. Carl
Schnetter, who is in charge Of the
Criminal Investigation Division Of
the Delaware State Police, gave a
highly interesting and educational
talk on the activities of his division
and of the State Police as a whole.
Mr.. Schnetter, a graduate Of the
National Police Academy as well
as the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation, was sent to Smyrna by
Norman Purnell, superintendent Of
the State Police, at the request of
a group of Seniors from the high
school. The talk by Mr.. Schnetter
was of great value to the class in
its study of organized law break
ing. Last week Mr.. John Jacobs,
of the Smyrna Police force, visited
the Civics class and delivered a
splendid talk to the pupils. His
timely remarks dealt with the
causes, cost and prevention Of
crime in the community and the
state Mr.. Jacobs urged the pu-
pills to cooperate where ever posi-
BILE with the law and gave specific
suggestions as to how this could be
done. Officer Jacobs answered
many queries from the pupils dur
ing his visit to the school. The
