Behind the News

WASHINGTON, March IL
W Some readers have asked
why the New York State Re-
publican delegation could be
counted so surely for Ohio's
Gov. Bricker as to give him
clearly the best chance to be
the 1914 nominee Gas disclosed
in yesterdays column.
1t seems that Gov. Dewey
does not like Wendell Willkie.
Theirs is not a temporary break.
Dewey himself is not a candi-
date. This situation is accepted
as genuine by all New York
State politicians in the know.
But there Is one thing which
would put Dewey into the race.
If Willkie tries to get any dele
gates in New York State, Dewey
will declare himself or permit
himself to be drafted, which has
come to mean the same thing.
IT is therefore a foregone con-
Il clusion that New Yorks mas
sive bloc of 90 votes will go to
Bricker or Dewey will act to
keep them out of Wilkes
hands.
Dewey must not be counted
out of the "A picture. Those
around him believe his eye will
not glance at the White House
until '4S, but if the next ma
tional convention should reach a
deadlock between Bricker and
Willkie, the convention would
no doubt turn TO Dewey.
Some readers were likewise
surprised by the suggestion that
Mr.. Roosevelt might have hard
time being renoninated for a
fourth term today. fair survey

must appear to come eagerly

INDEED, the essential reason
Il offered for the fourth term
nomination is that the party
wants ii. A victory at the con-
vention by IS per cent of the
vote, or in the face of any SUBJ
stantial opposition, would hardly
be in keeping with the premise
on which IL Is based-especially
as Republicans are organized
and have a good chance to win
anyway.
Certainly the necessary driv-
ing power still is missing within
the Democratic Party, for the
fourth term movement. No less
prominent a Democratic figure,
former Gov. James Cox of Ohio

MY GIRL friend reads about
A'A five mystery stories a week.
Last night she was reading
one titled The Case of the
Sleepwalker's Niece"
Some title, but my favorite
mystery title still is The Corpse
in the Derby Hat"
The brilliantly planned attack
on the Jap feet at New Guinea
had some football technique in
IL.
This recalls that when at
West Point Gen. Macarthur
told the cadets what they
learned in the battles of the
football field might some day be
of value ION other battles in
other fields.
NATIONAL average is one
~ one man in seven shaves
every day.
In war material factories six
out of seven men shave every
day.
This is said TO be due to the
invasion of feminine workers.

want to look neat and nifty.
There are still 100000 Japs in
Hawaii.
Secretary of Navy Knox con-
fesses this Is situation he
views with alarm.
He should.
Why not take all these Japs
and put them to work under
armed supervision?
Pay them regular wages, feed
them well and treat them right
but don't let them Ter
around.
Any Japanese who Is sincerely
loyal should cheerfully accept a
condition like this and charge 1t
to patriotism.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERS

j. F.: Is il advisable for one
who is taking thyroid tablets by
doctors orders TO eat lots Of
food containing iodine?
Is ii possible, after taking
thyroid for over two years. that
one can ever get along without
thyroid tablets?
Answer: Thyroid tablets them
selves contain iodine.
Aside from this, if you are
taking them under a doctors
orders. l would advise you to
consult your own physician.

A GOOD tooth belongs in the
"A same category as a perfect
wife-it is more of an abstrac-
ton than a reality.
The description of IL belongs
in the realm of theory.
All that you see of a tooth
when il is in your head, at
least-is the crown.
In fact, all you see is the out
side of the crown-the enamel.
The root and the internal
structure of the tooth are hid
den.
A tooth removed from the
jaw is seen to have three parts
the crown, the neck and the
root.
The crown, as we have said,
Is exposed, the neck is covered
by the gums and the root is en-
bedded in the jaw bone.
IF YOU were TO saw this tooth

several layers, like the rings of
a tree.
Over the crown, on the OUT
side, is the enamel. very hard

cause il must stand so much

Under the enamel Is the
dentin--a calcified substance not
quite so hard as the enamel, but
still very dense.
1t extends into the root also,
but in the root it is covered by
cementum instead Of the enamel
of the crown.
The center of the tooth is the
pulp and pulp canal, carrying
the nerve and blood vessels.
THE root is attached to the
l. jawbone by a hammock-like
structure-the periodontal men,

trip. They were all talking
about the same thing. namely,
how great IL would be If they
had more bombers, If only they
could blast the enemy with two,
three or four times the number
OF ships now available.
THIS Is their explanation of
Il the great need for more
bombers, No matter how many
bombers 90 on a daylight raid,
be II one bomber or a hundred.
they get the same amount of
anti-aircraft fire and the same
number Of fighters. With ire
mendous numbers they would
not only be able 10 plaster the
target with more bombs but
they would be able to dispense
the fighters and fax.
HELL" said a squadron leader,
"if We had hundreds of thou
sands of bombers the Germans
would be helpless. They couldn't
even come close to stopping us.
Even a. IL IL we have compare
lively few losses and belt the
daylights out of the target.
But how much better IL
would be II we could have 80
many bombers that the fighters
would not be able to concen-
frate In great numbers on one
squadron or one ship and the
anti-aircraft guns would not he
able to cover the whole sky
when we came in"
The Fortress can take care Of
one, two. three, four or even FIVE,
six or seven enemy fighters. It's
toughness and fire power are
capable of that. But. when, be-
cause OF small numbers the
enemy is able TO attack with as
many as 20 or 80 fighters, the
going gets tough.
THE American fighters are not
l. thinking of their own safety
when they express the wish for
more bombers. OF course their
chances for returning safely are
in direct ratio TO the number
that go over but they don't con-
slider that.
Their chief aim is not per-
sonal safety but the ability TO
obliterate the target assigned
and get back in order 10 make
further missions.
Our American bombers have
the toughest assignment in the
world. There is nothing as mean
as a daylight raid. In a theatre
cal hit now running In London
called Flare Path" whic h
deals with Raj bombing mis-
sions, one OF the characters says
he is just as glad the Americans
got the daylight missions. indi-
eating there is nothing tougher
on earth. \l
II there Is any way to get
more bombers TO these boys,
please try 10 see that IL is done.
They are doing a tremendous job
with only half enough planes.
Give them a fair shake and they
will see TO IL that not only stars
but Stars and Stripes fall over
the enemy.

that the teeth. when they bite
and chew, can withstand the
impact of the upper and lower
jaws.
The alveolar bone of the jaw,
in which the tooth is embedded,
is almost a part of the tooth.
1t anchors the tooth in place
and in the ideal tooth keeps it
upright in place.
Perhaps the reason most teeth
do not qualify as entirely good"
is because they are off line,
crooked, and therefore do not
contact the opposing tooth of
the opposite jaw.
IT is easy to see from this
Il description the ways in which
a tooth can go wrong.
The enamel, hard as it is, may
get a minute crack in il. food
particles lodge there and decay,
thereby starting carries OF cava-
ties which, going down to the
softer dentin, may destroy it
and get clear 10 the pulp, which
results in an abscessed tooth.
The gums may retract, ex-
posing the soft dentin, and
opening up the danger of infec-
ton.
Infection reaching the pulp
may go clear 10 the root tip,
causing an APPEAL infection.
The supporting structure of
the tooth may give way, causing
malocclusion.
