Decay in Teeth
Job for Science
Subject to Which United
States Navy Now Is
Giving Attention.

NEW YORK.-From natives OF
Pacific islands, the United State:
navy hopes to find new clews tt
the prevention of tooth decay, a dis
ease affecting 80 per cent of Amer.
cans.
The research on dental carries OF
decay is only one of the projects
planned at the new Guam navy
medical center, recently launched
as a handspring for lettering the
health of 10000 natives on 81 popu-
lated islands acquired by the Unit
ed States in the Pacific war.
Principal work of the center will
be to train native doctors, nurses
and technicians for the islanders.
But research on numerous problems
is either planned or under way,
said DR.. Victor C. Heiser, authority
on tropical diseases who helped es-
tablish the center.
Its First Problem.
Tooth decay will be the first prob
lem tackled. On some Of the is
lands, DR.. Heiser explained, almost
all the natives have nearly perfect
teeth. On others, dental decay is
widespread.
Presumably, he said, diet Or
drinking water accounts for the diff
ference. If the reason can be de-
termined, the findings might be ap-
piled in the United States and else
where.
DR.. Heiser, author Of the best sell
er IAN American Doctors Odys-
sey," recently returned from acting
as consultant to Rear Adm. H. w.
Smith, who had charge of naval
medical research during the "a
and was largely responsible for
planning the Guam center.
The Guam center, he said, has
established a school giving a four
year medical course for native med
ical practitioners, a training school
for nurses and a third school to
train laboratory assistants. Thirty
seven doctors now are attending the
school.
Will Go to Islands.
This trained personnel will be sent
out to various islands to direct
measures for improving native
health, DR.. Heiser said. Years ago
he established a similar course in
the Fiji islands, and native doctors
largely were responsible for marked
improvement in the health of Poly
nesian natives.
The Guam center also is giving a
postgraduate course for regular
navy doctors on tropical diseases
and problems peculiar to the area
And the navy has established a
medical research laboratory which
is specializing on tropical diseases,
including leprosy, although it is rare
on the islands.
While Guam is the headquarters,
the navy meanwhile is sending doc
tors and nurses to the islands to
treat the sick. One widespread dis
ease is yaws, a condition of ulcer
GUS sores caused by a s%pirochete
similar to that of syphilis, but not
a veneral disease.
Virus pneumonia also is common
in the islands.

Lifetime Of Minister Taken
Up by Temporary Jobs

PITTSBURGH.-The Rev. w. w.
Ritter has devoted his life to "tem-

Once he was asked to film as

signed. That was 81 years ago. He's
still got the job.
During the teacher shortage in
World War 1, Ritter was asked to
substitute in the one-room MI. Nebo

get another schoolmaster. They
never did.

Indians Popped Corn

Popcorn was raised by the 1ndi-
ans long before Columbus arrived in
the Western hemisphere. 1t became
an important commercial crop
about 1880. Formerly it a sup
posed that the popping Of corr was
caused by the volatilization of oil
in the grain. The explosion is due
simply to the formation of steam
within the grain when it is heated
neither air nor volatile oil, experts
say, is concerned in the process.
Popcorn with a louder "pop" has
been developed.
