FINDS MILK
BEST FOR TEETH

MADISON, Wis, -W.D- Univer-
sity of Wisconsin biochemists are
having a hard time finding any
thing better than milk for preserv-
ing the teeth.
For three wears the scientists
have been trying to find some food
element which will protect teeth.
So far, they have found little proof
that adding fluorine to a clty's
drinking water is an adequate an
swer. But they have discovered
that whole milk does the job.
DR.. C. A. Elvehjem, chairman OF
the biochemistry department, says
that addition of fluorine to drinking
water in the quantity generally
proposed - one part fluorme to
one million parts water a no
effect whatsoever on rats useo
in the experiment. When the
amount of fluorine was raised 10
five parts, dental cavities were re-
duced by one-half, but faint stripes
anpeared on the rats teeth. When
raised to 10 parts or higher the
number of cavities dropped but
the teeth changed color and event.
ually became chalky.
The scientists found that milk
produced much more positive re-
suits, Rats fed a milk-enriched diet
developed only n cavity each or
none at all.

In commenting on the manner

the photographs. He added that
certainly nc one was better quail

than Miss White.
Most of the participating pho

were members OF the Carolinas

which met at Wrightsville Beach
in conjunction with the North Car

fares would advance from 20

Costs Mounting
The railroads claim that operat-
ing costs have jumped 57.3 per
cent in the last seven years, while
passenger revenues have dropped
to less than half the wartime peak
and are continuing their down
ward trend.
Passenger service returned to
the deficit column in 1916 by an

porting on all southern carriers.
"a greater deficit is indicated in
1947, based on the estimated de-
crease of 34.1 per cent in passenger
revenues below 1896"
First-class fares previously were
increased 10 per cent February

ed 70 per cent October l, 1912.

RAILROAD SENDING
FREIGHT BY AIR

CHICAGO, -WR)- The Santa Fe
hallway sends freight by air.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway owns the Santa Fe
Skyway, Inc. This organization of
1lO picked airmen has seven air
freighters in operation.
This is another example of
Santa Fe's use of new modes of
transport to meet special shipper
demands, and to keep revenue
from falling off," says H. R. Lake,
president of the Santa Fe Skywav
Inc.
In 1880, the Santa Fe began u.s.
ing highway trucks to provide a
more flexible and speedy service to
branch line shippers. Its trucks
provided 71,524, $50 ton miles of
service i've 1900 miles of highway
routes, according to the company's
1916 annual report.
This was an important service
to many shippers and one often re-
lated to heavy rail shipments, Lake
said.
According to Lake, the Santa Fe
Railway has filed a motion re-
questing an immediate air carrier
hearing by the Civil Aeronautics
Board. This action on Santa FEES
application for common carrier
authority to transport proptrey and
U. S. mail by aircraft was orig
inally filed in November, 1916.
