PUPILS TO SHOW
 HOW TOOTH BRUSH MAY AVERT ACHES

CHlCAGO - A tWO-year test with school children is expected to show just how effective careful brushing of the teeth is in prevent ing tooth decay.
 The study is being launched by the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, and will involve 2,000 sixth and seventh grade youngsters in three downstate communities.
 The children will be asked 10 brush their teeth at their desks each morning and afternoon. and after each evening meal at home and before going 10 bed. The amount of tooth decay will be com pared with that in other children who will continue brushing their teeth according 10 their usual hab- its.
 The tests also will study the eff fectiveness of three kinds of den- tifrices. One is a new kind, devel- Oped at the college and containing ''''rnonium compounds, which in limited tests has shown a sharp re- duction in tooth decay.

Soviet Edict Drastic Blow At Science
tBY Dorothy Thompson)

gressive" with the Soviet Union and Marxian communism and
 heir claim to represent scientific" socialism probably account in large measure for the attraction they have for some minds. Yet recent events in the Soviet Union demon strate again that Russia is not progressive" but, is, in fact, the most reactionary country in the world, governed by an intellectual fundamentalism.
 More than 300 years ago the Ital- ian astronomer, Calico Galilei, was brought before the inquisi- ton for publishing book support. ing the Copernican theory that the earth moves around the sun. This was held to be in contradiction to scripture and to Aristotle's theory which was, one might say, still the official party line" of the church in the seventeenth century.
 Under threat of torture he re- canted; but the story has ii that. rising from his knees. he muttered. Nevertheless ii moves" That ii does move is recognized scientific truth today: and the story lives 10 demonstrate the power of scientif- ic truth over theological fiction.
 The affair Calico was repeated in Russia when the Soviet Acad- emy of Science, in the role of the inquisition, put the clock back 100 years in the name of progressive Soviet biology" Led by Trofim Lysenko, the whole body of exact knowledge in the field of genetics was obliterated as "anti-Marxist" and bourgeois" Soviet biology is today exactly where the French man Jean de Lamarck left it when he died in 1929.
 Lamarck, a forerunner of Chas. Darwin, observed mutations in organic structures and, knowing little that was later to be discov- cred concerning gene molecules and germ cells, deduced that changes occurred in response to environment.
 A few years after Lamarck's death an Austrian botanist, Gre gor Mendel, blew Lamarck's theo- ries sky high by actual breeding experiments with plants. His work later was confirmed by Hugh de Vries, August Weismann, Thomas Hunt Morgan and hundreds of others-among them, it is amusing to note, Henry Wallace, who, in experimenting with hybrid corn and leghorn chickens, shows a de- volion to scientific exactitude en- tirely lacking in the fogginess of his politics.
 As result of the shift back to Lamarck (which is indeed compat- ible with Marxian science" which also has not moved a step forward intellectually for 100 yearS, the most distinguished Russian biolo- gists all are being forced to recant and say their Lenin-Stalinist pray CTS.

clan directs. The doctor, by regular
examination, can determine if any
such reactions are occurring and

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
D. L.: My boy nine years old
weighs 100 pounds, about ten pounds
overweight. His muscles seem to be
stiff and he is very awkward. What
would you suggest?
Answer: It is advisable that the
child be carefully studied by . neu-
rologist and an orthopedic special
ist to determine the cause Of his
difficulties.
The condition may not BE- abnor-
NAL. On the other hand, there may

the side and places his hands on the
floor, the fluids from the lungs drain
satisfactorily. Thinning of the Sc
erection by giving the patient such
preparations as iodides, ammonium
chloride or creosote, and the breath
ing in of steam may be helpful. Such
preparations as adrenalin or ephe-
drine, when inhaled through an
atomizer, may speed up the loosen
ing of the secretions. Furthermore,
deep breathing before and during
the drainage will help empty the Sc
cretions. This drainage should be
carried out often enough to keep
the dilated bronchi as free as pos
sible from secretions.
Use of Penicillin
Infection in cases of bronchiec-
tasis may be controlled by the use
of penicillin. The penicillin may be
given by injection into a muscle or
breathed into the lungs in the form
of a dust or vapor.. It is advisable
to carry out the drainage before the
penicillin is breathed in. The benefits
obtained from the penicillin are, of
course, only temporary; that is,
they control the infection but do
not get rid of the dilated bronchi.
One of the sulfonamide drugs,
such as sulfadiazine may be used
over long period of time with BEN

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.

DURING the past few decades
medical science has learned how to
prolong life, so that today more
people are living to a ripe old age
than ever before. Unfortunately,
however, we have not yet mastered
the secret of making this longer life
vigorous and pleasant in all cases.
Today. for instance, we know that
many elderly people are plagued by
a condition of the lungs known as
bronchiectasis, in which the tubes
of the lungs are dilated and filled
with foul-smelling secretion. This
results in a great deal of coughing,
extreme fatigue, and loss of weight.
Simple Methods
A good many forms of treatment
for this condition have been sug-
gested, including operation to re-
move the damaged parts of the lung,
In general, however, the best re-
suits seem to be obtained by the
more simple methods designed to
promote drainage, control infection,
and build up the general state Of
health. Since the structure of the
lungs is damaged, there is not very
much that can be done to bring
about cure.
Drainage of the secretion from
the lungs can best be carried out by
having the. patient lie on high bed

THE Ardennes tour has always
been one of the most delightful
excursions, not only in Belgium but
in all Europe. And now, since it
includes places immortalized in the
Battle of the Bulge, it has assumed
significance both historical and
personal.
Bastogne, the never-to- be-forgot-
ten Bastogne, is 10 miles south of
Brussels, about hours by train or
, leisurely motor ride that takes the
traveller through the lovely suburbs
and outskirts of Brussels, and
through the lovely glades of Cambre
woods.

The central square, the Grande
Place, has been renamed Place
McAuliffe by the good folk of
Bastogne who, by the way, are liv-
ing in temporary wooden houses
in place of their usual substantial
homes of fieldstone or brick, de-
! stroyed in the historic battle.
A mile away, on dominant Mill
top, there is rising a monument,

Ardennes fields, with figure OF

at each point. In the star center is

nothing now to verify that hope, or
to prove it false.

Dicky was doing something else

very rarely swears where the boys

acteristically in his reply to Junior.

you ever known either your mother
or me to make the slightest differ

him? In fact, we have. We've been
a little bit more severe with you"
"That's just it," Junior said.
