Navy Dentists Develop
Biting Block for
Aviators in Combat
Device Will Prevent
Flyer in Power Dive
From Suffering Pain

A biting block" for aviators, sim
ilar to the rubber mouthpiece worn
by boxers, may be dentistry's most
striking contribution to air warfare.
Experiments with this device now
are under way at the Naval Dental
School at Bethesda, 1t was explained
by Navy officers at the flve-State
post graduate dental clinic at the
Mayhower yesterday.
Other experiments have been car
ried on at the Mayo Clinic at Roch-
ester, MINI.
Power Dive Reaction.
The object of the biting block"
Is to prevent the mouth from being
closed too tightly, an almost un-
avoidable nervous reaction of flyer
in a dive. This results in nerve
infringement by the condyle, or top
of the lower jaw. which may cause
intense pain in the ears. Pain IN
the teeth themselves, which flyers
have described as almost unendura-
BILE, also may result from a lessened
blood flow in the tissue, due to keep
ing the mouth closed.
The biting block now being tested
Is made of methyl methacrylate.
synthetic resin which recently mas
been used widely in making false
teeth. 1t fits tightly over the lower
teeth and prevents the mouth Delng
closed abnormally tight.
It is likely to be especially val
able, Navy dental officers pointed
ont for a flyer who has lost one or
two of his molar teeth or the sur
faces of whose teeth have pesn worn
down so that the bite is not en-
tirely normal.
The device, the Navy dentists be-
iieve, not only may prevent tempo
rarv pain, but also permanent ear
trouble
The findings. it was pointed OUT
suggest one reason why older men
are not likely to make good aviators
At the same time, it was explained.
the Navy has lowered its dental
standards for recruits from mini
mum of 10 sound teeth In each Jaw
with chewing surfaces on both sides
10 y SOllIlQ beclil Al coNlA Jaw -
This reduction, it is believed, Will
admit thousands of desirable re-
cruits now unable to pass the ply
sical examinations. 1t is an ir-
reducible minimum, however, un-
less the need for men becomes criu-
cal, the Navy dentists insist.
Tough Food at Times.
There is no place in the Navy.
they say, for men who cannot chew
fairly tough food at times. Also 1t
Is impossible to have a dentist on
every Navy ship and the fellow who
develops tooth trouble may be seri-
ously out of luck.

clinic Yesterday afternoon by DR..

Atrocities

ture of the former Chinese capital
on December 13, 1887.
Substantiated accounts at that
time said a reign OF terror existed
for days. with thousands OF women
assaulted and murdered and other
thousands Of the inhabitants killed
during the burning, looting and pill
lage of Nanking.
Japanese statements at the time
described the disorders as a mop
ping up" operation.
Wide Publicity to Be Given.
Mr.. Eden said ~the widest pub
licity in all languages will be given
these atrocities"
In the House Of Lords, Lord Gran
borne. colonial secretary, accepted
suggestion Of Lord Strabolgi,
Laborite, that the Russian govern
ment be urged to use its good Offices
at Toxic to have something done
"for these helpless people"
That's a new point to me, but I
will pass it to the proper quarters"
Lord Cranborne said.
All survivors of the Hong Kong
garrison were herded into a camp
of wrecked huts without doors, win
dows, light or sanitation, Mr.. Eden
said. The dead had to be buried
in a corner of the camp. No drugs
~or medical facilities were sup
piled, he declared.
Red Cross Barred.
The Japanese actions. he said, ap-
parently would not bear independ-
ent investigation. as permission was
refused for a representative Of the
Red Cross to 60 there.
Two things are clear-to the
House. the country and the world
first that the Japanese claim that
they are animated by lofty chivalry
is nauseating hypocrisy" he said.
Secondly, the enemy must be
utterly defeated and We can best
express our sympathy with the vic
tins of these appalling outrages by
redoubling our efforts to insure his
utter and overwhelming defeat
BY the end of January, Mr. Eden
said, $50 cases of dysentery had
occurred in the camp.
Interviews Refused.
THE Japanese guards are utterly
callouS and repeated requests by
Gen. Maltby Maj. Gen. c. M.
Maltby, British commander at Hong
Kong for an interview with the
Japanese commander have been
refused" he added. This means
presumably that the Japanese high
command have connived at the
conduct of their forces"
He said that most European
residents, including some who are
seriously i'll, have been interned.
But like the military prisoners, they
are being given only a little rice
and water and occasional scraps OF
other food"
Sir Percy Harris. Laborite. asked
Mr.. Eden to make it clear that the
Emperor. government and whole
japanese people were responsible for
these atrocities
That is certainly So" Mr.. Eden
replied.
Mr.. Eden said there was some rea-
son to believe that conditions had
slightly improved since late Janu-
ary and early February when the
eyewitnesses had escaped.
He said the government had no
information yet as to the condition
of prisoners of war and civilians in
Malaga and Singapore. but that
japanese news agencies had report
ed on March the arrest of 1889
Chinese, who were described as being
subjected to severe examination" !"
1T is not difficult to imagine
what that entails he commented.
Ten lays after the capitulation
of Hong Kong, he added, the Japa-
nese were still bringing in wounded
from the surrounding hills and were
refusing permission to bury the

TURPENTINE AND COUGH


 am unable to get terpin hydrate in capsules (complains H. L. Al or in tablet form. but only in the h- Quid form called Elixir of terpin hyirate. The druggist said only three drops of the Elixir should be taken twice dailyETAOINSHRDL taken on sugar twice daily, the same as the purified oil of turpentine.
 had two dozen capsules of ter- pin hyCSrate, each containing three grains. put up by our druggist (re- ports H. K0 and took one capsule after dinner the first night, and thereafter one capsule after food three times a day. In only two or three days got great relief from my cough which had been bothering me a lot especially in the night, After ten days I seem almost free or at any rate less troubled than I have been for years-of course my trouble is chronic winter cough with a great deal of expectoration ...
 Terpin hyCrate is whiet crystal line powder made from pure oil of turpentine.
 Best way to take it for cough is in capsules containing one. two or three grains. depending on your size and the size of your cough. This reminds me of one of my first pa- t;ents-a grocery clerk with an "ele- phant" cough. That was his sole complaint. examined his chest many times. found no explanation for the cough. One morning he came with a new symptom-sudden queer noise in the ear and some deafness after a bath. So then I found a plug of hardened ear wax filling one ear canal. and each time I touched the wall of the canal at a certain spot the patient reacted with a rendition of his elephant" cough. After removal of the hard ened wax from ear canal he had no more cough.
 If your cough is not from bron- chial trouble. don't blame me if the terpin hydrate does no good. I merely offer the information that in many cases of chronic bronchitis or recurring winter cough two grains of terpin hydrate taken after food three times a day for a week or two will give much relief. espe- cially when it is difficult to clear the chest of mucus expectoration.
 If one can take two or three drops of rectifled oil of turpentine (not the ordinary spirits of turpentine but a purified oil intended for med- icinal usel. on sugar. three times a day. immediately after food. it has the same effect as the two or three grains of terpin hydrate. An easier way to take turpentine is in the standard Emulsion of Oil of Tur- pentine CU. s. P). one-half tea spoonful taken in water being equiv aient to two or thre drops of the rectified oil or purified oil.

MODERN MENUS Here's a Dish For Your Next Family Dinner
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Stan Writer

An old fashioned Yankee chicken pie with sour-milk biscuits makes a hearty, delicious meal for a family dinner. That's fact worth remem- bering, with more holidays practi- cally around the corner.
 The authentic d-fashioned re- cipe used here comes from Mrs. Appleyard's Kitchen" a brand new book on cooking.
 Chicken Pie with Sour-MiIk
 Biscuits
 (Seryes 10 persOns)
 Two 5-lb. fowl, 3 onions, sliced, 1 tablespoon salt, l-8 teaspoon pep- per. Begin the day before you plan to make the pie. Clean fowl and cut each into 8 pieces. Place in large kettle with onions; cover with cold water and slowly bring to boil. Cook slowly for 3 hours. During last hour. add seasoning.
 When meat falls from bone, strain of broth. Set aside to cool in bowl Pick over meat, removing all skin and bones. Place skin and bones Dack In Kettle, cover With cold water, add 1 teaspoon salt, and simmer for hours. Strain broth and set aside to cool.
 In the morning, skim fat from each of the 2 bowls of broth. If broth has not jellied, combine the broths and cook a little longer. There should be about 2 quarts of jellied stock.

Hollywood = Californians have grown their own flowers and vege- tables this season, after years oi letting the Nipponese colony do the job for them.
 The war, which turned the Jap enese out of the West Coast areas, also turned the American residents to gardening. Since manpower was needed elsewhere, it became a wom- ans job. And, too, since California is fashion-aS well as garden-con- scious, 1t set the designers to work on clothes for farmerettes that are attractive as well as practical, FOR WORK OR PLAY
 To model some of these smart new work clothes we selected Anne Gwynne of the movies, Above, Anne shows you a slack suit that will stand up under garden work and also double for play wear. It's of 6 rayon and wool mixture in smoke blue, with slot pockets high on the skirt.
 Below, Anne goes into action with some lumber to show of a three piece outfit suggested by designers for all-round yard and garden chores. Made of tough denim in a pin-check of a darkish blue, the slacks are cut with a matching over jacket and visore6 cap. = DEE LOWRANCE.

 That is how the Army sees him --as q man, young, of course, but better fighting material because of his youth.
 Can't you try to see him in that light instead Of telling yourself that he is just a kid?
 It will help if you can. It will not only help you, but help his father, and help the boy himself.
 Chances are he wants to get Into this fight. It looks like adven- ture to him. It also looks like c short cut to independence. And besides that he perhaps feels more deeply than you know an urgent desire to be fighting for his coun- try.
 You read, didn't you, what tiie students at Princeton wired Washington when the amendment to the youth draft bill, later dis- carded, requiring 12 months of pre- combat training was under discussion? Their wire said: Amer ica's youth asks no favors, wants nio half hearted war conduct, and de- sires to serve it's country without conditions attached by Congress"
 That is how a group of college boys feels about fighting for their country and it is probably how your own boy feels.
 So don't keep saying he's just a kid = not even behind the back. He wouldn't like 1t.
 He feels he is man equal to meeting a mans responsibilities --and his country has said he is one. So start thinking of him as man yourself.
