IRREGULAR TEETH COMMON

Children who have irregular teeth
are not different or odd, but repre-
sent the usual. Those who have
perfect teeth are the exceptions.
In a recent survey of 2,700 child
rem, almost 80 per cent of the child
rem had irregularities of the teeth
requiring correction, such as bands
and appliances designed to correct
the position of irregular teeth. On
ly three per cent of the group had
perfectly regular teeth, and about
II per cent had irregular tseth re-
garded as not absolutely requiring
correction.
In the total group, the average
child had ten irregularly position
ed teeth. The lower front teeth
were the most frequently irregular.
About so per cent of the children
requiring correction had crowding
either of the upper teeth, lower
teeth or both.
1t is certainly evident from these
figures that Irregularities of the
teeth are not uncommon, but will
probably affect your child. These
irregularities can be corrected In
most instances by a specialist
known as an orthodontist.
There is no best or only time for

orthodontic treatment. Some types
of correction should wait until all
of the baby teeth are lost. Other
corrections can be done even be-
fore any permanent teeth erupt.
"An ounce of prevention GER
tainly applies in the prevention OF
malocclusions. Whenever any ir-
regularity of a child's teeth is no
ted either by parents or by the
child's dentist, it would be well to
consult with an orthodontist.

was as full of wit as his fellow

Murrow has another asset as at

By the Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Dec. 90
The death of Robert Henry Best,
serving a life sentence for treason
by broadcasting Nazi propaganda
during World War II, was dis
closed today.
Officials of the United States
Medical Center for Federal pris-
oners here said Best died last
Tuesday after what a spokesman
described as an "illness of some
time"
The body was shipped yesterday
to Spartanburg. S. c.
Prison records gave his address
as Vienna, Austria, and his only
Inext-of kin as his wife Erna. No
address was listed for Mrs. Best.
Best, an American newspaper
man, was convicted of treason in
Federal Court at Boston, April Is,
I1948. He later was sentenced to
life imprisonment and fined $10,-
900. Three years later the United
States Supreme Court refused a
review of the case.
Best had been at the medical
center here since August, 1851.
The 56-year-old former Sumter
IS. c. newsman admitted he had
made 300 broadcasts from Ger
many between 1912 and 1915. >
