Bevin lnterprets
 Proposal to Divide Fort Knox Gold

WASHINGTON,-(P)-NeW In terpretations of what Ernest BeVin meant by his proposal for Ire distribution of the Fort Knox gold" failed to thaw official US. coldneSS toward the idea.
 Some London sources said the British foreign secretary's theory was that by raising the dollar value of it's big gold holdings, the US. could make a profit" which could be used in paying for aid to Europe without i'm posing direct additional burden on American taxpayers.
 One government analyst called this another invitation to make loans or gifts"
 Certainly it would give other countries more power to buy here," he added, "but it wouldn't be any advantage to us."
 Another, recalling that secret ary of the treasury Snyder re- gently denied that there was even a thought of changing the $35 an ounce price of gold, said the treasury too would be dead a. gainst it."
 In any event, he said, any change in the gold price would have to be made by congress, and he expressed the opinion that con- gress is not disposed to do any such thing.
 Principle objection raised by US. analysts to the new inter pretation of the Bevin proposal was that it would increase in- flation, boosting prices within the US. as foreign nations upped their buying in this country.

THE SCHOOL AGE CHILD

The child of school age needs every physical asset to enable him to make the most of his studies and to compete with his fellows on equal terms.
 Healthy teeth are essential to general health, and the wise mother will take every precaution to guard against the handicap of frequent illnesses caused by bad teeth.
 Before a child enters school, his mouth should be examined by dentist. The first permanent mo- lars usually erupt at the age of 6 or and dental attention at this time is vital.
 Throughout the school years, the child should be given regular and systematic dental attention. The toothbrushing habit should be inculcated at the earliest age possible.
 Between the ages of 6 and 2l, the dentist should be consulted frequently to determine whether the child's teeth are coming in straight, and that the upper and lower teetch come together prop erly If the teeth are crooked or if there is any other maladjustment, the condition can often be cor rected if discovered in time.
 When the new bicuspid teeth come in, between the ages of and II, the child should be taken to the dentist for special attention. hi tial flaws in these important teeth can be repaired and decay thus be prevented.
 In general, all new teeth should be examined shortly after they ap- pear. This holds true when the second permanent molars erupt, between 12 and fl years Of age; and when the third molars, or wisdom teeth" come in, usually after the sixteenth or seventeenth year.
 The child should be trained early in life to appreciate good

HEALTH CONDITIONS MOST APPALLING THROUGHOUT ALASKA

has returned from the interior of Alaska in connection with the work of the health department. Dr. Albrecht accompanied the A m CT c n Medical Association team of visiting doctors and Dr. w. T. Harrison, medical director, district No. of the U. s. Public Health Service, on their health inspection trips through the ter ritory.
 Doctor Albrecht feels that the visits of these important men to Alaska and the interest and deep concern they expressed for AL askas health problems should be considered a milestone in Alas ka'S public health progress.
 Hospital conditions, over crowding, faulty sanitation, lack of general hospital facilities, and especially the unconfined cases of tuberculosis-thes are the prob lems that demand immediate at tention," stated Dr. Albrecht. "I was very glad when Dr. Arthur Bernstein, chairman of the Cook County medical team, also thought the conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis and, other com municable diseases were appall. ing"
 Dr. Bernstein was one of the flying medical specialists sen' here at the invitation of Secretary of the Interior J. A. Krug to gair an insight into Alaska's health problems. These medical men five specialists, were startled no' only at the prevalence of tuber' culosis but at the indifference o1 the white population to what the latter termed the Natives disease "The Natives death rate from tuberculosis is nine times the ov- erall death rate for the states, said Dr. Bernstein, "and the death rate for the Whites is twice the states figure"
 The five physicians; Dr. George Miles, Dr. Arthur Bernstein, Dr Joseph Silverstein, pr. Harry E Barnett, and Dr. Jack Fields: are all from Cook County Hospital Illinois.
 These physicians were chosen by an advisory committee Of the ANA and will submit their report to that body.
 The physicians combined their | health inspection at Fairbanks with an attendance of the Alaska Medical Association. While there they had an opportunity to hear pr. Albrecht present to the asso- citation review of the health de- partment's plans and progress since the last meeting of the asso- citation.

government must give more fed eral support and financial help to the Territory. The medical director cited four primary health needs for Alaska:
 1. Tuberculosis. Segregation and isolation of active cases by increased federal aid for addi- tional hospital beds.
 2. Sanitation. The need for improved water supply and sew age disposal systems for many communities.
 3. Venereal disease con trol l. Stern measures of public health administration and increased edu- cation.
 4. Hospital facilities. There is a need for general hospital facili- ties throughout the Territory and an urgent need for hospital beds for tuberculosis cases.
 "I am delighted" declared Com missioner Albrecht, that all these visiting experts have not only af- firmed my opinions on the health needs of Alaska but also that I find myself in complete accord with the recommendations which they are going to propose to Con- gress. More hospital beds, inn proved sanitation, intensified tub erculosis case-finding, and a wig orous venereal disease control pro- gram are measures already on the health horizon of Alaska"

NAVY A|RMAN SETS WORLD SPEED MARK

MUROC, Calf, Aug 21-R-A slim. wiry Naval pilot flying a trim, stub winged experimental air plane today held the international air speed record after having bull leted four times over three-kilo- meter (l.863 mile) course at an average of 64o.7 miles an hour.
 The mark was set with Doug las-built jet-propelled skystreak D. 558, flown by Comdr. Turner F. Caldwell Jr., 33, of Arlington, Va, A former Pacific combat pilot. After travelling at higher speed than man had yet attained, he shrugged his trim shoulders and said.
 Tt was a great relief from the paper work I've been doing in Washington. It's a great day and a great ship
 The Navy pilot beat the former world mark which had been set last June 19 by an Army man, Col Albert Boyd, who flew the same course at an average of 623.8 miles an hour in a Lockheed P-80- R jet plane. Boyd's flight had broken the British-held record of 616 miles per hour set by Clos ter Meteor W plane in l946.

.SWA5HBUCkLING ADVENTURE IN
 CAPITOL FILM

The Return of Monte Cristo, which opened yesterday at the Cap itol Theatre, presents it's immortal hero at his reckless, swashbucking best. Columbia's Edward Small production is a new and highly exciting adventure classic, starring Louis Hayward in the title role and Barhar Britton as his lovely inamorata.
 Hayward, appearing as Edmond Dantes, sinks his teeth into as juicy part as has been assigned to any Hollywood star in a long time. Victim in the beginning of some wellconceived dirty work, he comes back from Devils Island a fearless avenger who destroys his enemies in a bold and brilliant attack. Packed with the intrigue and TO- nance of nineteenth century France, heightened by Hayward s performances in variety of in tricate disguises, The return of Monte Cristo" is dashing film fare every sword-dash of the way.
 In support of the stars in a large and capable cast, George Ma cready stands out as the treacher- ous villain of the piece and and Una O'Connor relieves the tension with her quaint and humorous DOT trayal of a fidgety maidservant. Others whose acting lends polish to the production are Henry Steph- ensen, Steven Geray, Ray Collins and Ludwig Donath.

Smyrna Played Important Part In The History of
Delaware and Kent County

Smyrna has, from the time of
its first settlement, figured prom
inently, not only in the affairs of
Kent County, but in the affairs of
Delaware as well. 1t was nothing
more than an attractive site until
1880, when tract called Graves
end" was taken up by William
Green. The greatest part of Smyr-
ma now lies in that old tract which
by his will, Green divided among
his sons, John, Thomas and George.
In 1858, James, grandson of the
original owner, began the sale of
his lands and in the hands of the
new owners, businesses began to
grow up. During the Revolution
ary War, Capt. Allen McLane
managed to recruit a company of
thirty men from this neighborhood,
which formed a part of the second
battalion. Just what part this
little group played in the winning
of the war is not known. At this
same time, the Hon. Thomas Col
Inns, one of the six revolutionary

of Delaware militia against that
portion of Howe's army which was

Our town government, as it
functions today, can most accur-
ately be called a City Manager
Government, although it differs in
some respects from the recognized
plan. In the true city manager
plan, there is popularity elected
council, which exercises the legis-
lative functions and is responsible
for the administration. The actual
work of administration, however, is
done by city manager selected by
the council Ordinarily an elected
mayor performs the ceremonial
functions of the city or town. The
Smyrna government complies with
this, insofar as it has a popularity
elected council, in charge of legis-
lative and administrative affairs
within the town. Our mayor, who
is also popularity elected, is an
