DEAD" TEETH AND PYORRHEA

You may recall 8 rather harsh letter I wrote you about year ago (writes a dentist)-I wrote it in 6 state of irritation at your sugges- ton that dentists surrender use of the title of Doctor to medical prac- tjtioners exclusively. I failed to see the justice or logic of your idea and frankly I surInised you must have some personal grievance or some peculiar aniinosity towards dentists. Now I write to apologize for my shortsightediles I have since had the opportunity to read your book let "Save Your Teeth" which you were kind enough to send me in re- sponse to my ill-natured letter, and I realize ! had entirely missed the substantial purpose of your sugges- ticu. On top of that came the ex- cellent little folder on "Pyorrhea" and the practical points you make in this fielder, I am sure, will do great good in educating the public or that great portion of the popula- ton that the dentist scarcely gets 8 chance to educate until 1t is too late. do not agree one hundred per cent with all of your teachings but in the main your advice seems both scientific and sound.
 (--D. D. S)
 thank the dentist as much for his first letter, which was a mild rebuke compared with many con- municationS I have received from dentists, as I do for this one. Ad- verse criticism is sometimes as helpful as cordial approval.
 For example, another dentist takes me severely to task for my incompetent advice in regard to dead teeth. That's the dentists language-he means pulpless teeth, teeth in which the main source of nutriinent, the pulp has been de- stroyed or, as the laynan says "the nerve killed" Such teeth may still receive some nourishment from the tissues in which they are embedded and hence are not dead" They often serve . useful purpose for many years, and hence they should not be extracted unless there is definite evidence that they are do- ing harm. This dentist says my att titude is inconsistent in that I ad- vocate retaining dead" teeth in the jaw and yet I urge people to have dental advice or treatment regular ly and early, as a preventive meas- ure against pvorr'ea.
 do not understand just what the inconsistency is, but one thing is worth mentioning here, and that is the fact that extraction or removal of a tooth in any case must be re- garded as a contributing factor of pyorrhea unless the tooth is imme- diately replaced by a functionally efficient tooth or denture. To leave even one empty space is to impair mastication, and any lessening of mastication, natural use of the teeth, gums, jaws, inevitably brings atrophic changes, wasting. shrink age, weakening. and that is the early stage of pyorrhea.

ing parts of the whole production For the hands we use a fine quail ity of picture wire, which forms the flexible framework, allowing finger movement and point control. The wire frame is then wrapped with adhesive tape to give substance to the fingers and palms.
 The feet of the puppet are cut from a block of wood oHe-apd-one- half inches by three inches. and the head from one-and one-half inch piece. A plastic wood covering, which lends a pliabiIlty for facial modelling, is then riastered to the front part of the head block and the features are formed
 Children are really delighted when 1t comes time to work with the hair. They are very difiuite con- corning their likes and dislikes, knowing quickly and surely # the hair Is to be blonde, brunette, straight or curly. Puppet hair Is made of coinhed strands of wool, sewn together and glued to the wooden cra1iulil.
 MAKING THE
 PUPPET MOVE
 When the figure has been dressed, the next step is to give 1t animation. The motions of the puppets are rnanuevered from a cross.shaped controller, which Is fastened by strings to the wrists, feet, and cen- ter back of the body and head and held in the hands of the operator. The cross is made of thin wood, the horizontal strip measuring about ten inches in length, and the vertical one little less than eight. The two are fastened together by a bolt which is left loose, allowing for movement. Backward. forward and sidewise motions will produce the desired puppet positions. Movement of the hands and feet is achieved by manipulation of the strings.
 A puppet creation is first con- ceived by research in historical matter, or from play the child writes himself. When the puppet is completed, the making of the pup. pet stage and setting Is planned and executed by the child and teacher in preparation for the performance believe puppet-making is one ot the finest means of developing a child's natural artistic talent.

Household Hints

As teacher in both American and Canadian, public and private schools, Alice H0ben has written many instructive articles for both parents and children and has been instrumental in establishing new and progressive methods in child development. ...,
 The latest of four books written by Miss Hoben, entitled ''The Beg inner's Puppet Book" describes an easy. original method of puppet making, which she is now employ ing in her children's puppet classes at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. BY ALICE HoBEN
 Written For NEA Service
 New York-Though puppet mak- ing Is centuries old, the idea of young children making them for their own productions and plays is a new step in progressive child ed- ucation.
 Many unique and complicated methods are used by professional and well-known puppeteers, but these have not been found practical when working with children. A child must see his work progress rapidly and needs a single, speedy method of production to hold his interest.
 From the moment 8 child is given his first block of wood to the paint ing of scenery and stage setting, his interest in this thrilling creative experience is whole-hearted and eager. CREATING HANDS, FEET AND HAIR
 Using the simplest method I could find that would still achieve the necessary results and keep the child's mind stimulated through out, the whole process of making 8 puppet requires but four or five hours.
 The pupil is given a block of pine wood about three by five inches, which is used for the body. To this block of wood he fastens dowel sticks three inches long for arms and legs, using eye screws for the joints-one screw remaining open at the end and the other to be in- serted into it in socket-hke fashion. Additional eye screws afe then used to fasteu the arsns and legs to the wooden torso.
 The making of the hands. offers the child one of the most interest,"

CONTINUED from First PaRe)

Tingle, accompanied by two
girls and two colored men, met
Richards. The murderer and the
two girls are alleged to have been
walking abreast. Richards was
forced from the sidewalk. Tingle,
it was claimed, said to the dead
man, excuse me-" whereupon
Richards is alleged to have used
vile language and struck the negro
boy in the chest and under the chin,
causing .Tingle to fall into a hedge
in front of the home of promi-
nent citizen of the town. Tingle
claimed that he was daZed, accord
ing to his attorney, Howard W..
Bramhall, and did not know when
he pulled the knife. That was his
Story to Mr.. Bramhall. He made a
different statement to the officers,
however, the purport of which was
that he pulled his knife when struck
and, upon making some remarks,
made for Richards. Two witnesses,
George A. Hill and H. E. Bennett,
both of Bridgeville, stated that the
boy had a good reputation. The
knife, with which Richards was
killed, in the opinion of the court,
was a deadly weapon in that it
was beyond the length prescribed
by law.
