Your Health THE FIRST CONCERN. “There is a popular “that pyorrhea can not be “This is absolutely false except in those advanced cases where the in- ‘curable stage has been reached. It should therefore be very plain that with this disease the proverbial “stich in time saves nine,” states Doctor C. J. Hollister, chief of the State Health Department's dental section. “The secret of a successful pyor- rhea cure lies in its early detection amd proper treatment. The dentist must have a chance to detect its presence, as freguently the patient is more or less unaware of its ex- istence. He must then be given an ‘opportunity to treat it or direct the ‘case to a practitioner who makes a -specialty of this type of service. “One of the main treatment fea- “tures involves instructing the patient to care for the teeth and gums properly. As a matter of fact, had the victim been sufficiently interest- ed to have acquired this information years before and then had conscien- “tiously applied it daily, the need for pyorrhea treatment would in all probability not have developed. | i i “Another false idea connected with ‘this affliction is that mouth washes, medicated toothpastes and patent «zgoncoctions afford definite and per- manent relief. The fact is that in ‘mearly all pyorrhea cases. drugs play Stile if any part in the treatment. “What the family dentist or specialist ‘actually does is to remove the dead membrane which always adheres to ‘the root of the tooth. He also ‘scrapes away tartar which has formed. The failure or success in ‘this treatment is based upon the ‘efficiency and completeness with which the dentist does his work— that, plus the intelligent home care of the mouth. “It is therefore seen that there is no reason to despair if one discovers pyorrhea. cause teeth are removed, the ation shuld immediately be plac- ‘ed upon the dentist to arrest the _ changes that almost inevitably fol- Sow.

Moore Campbell, Chief of that Bu- veau in the Health Department, has Sssued the following instructions: — “Please be advised that under the regulations of the State Department of Health, there is no evidence of immunity which your health officer may accept, other than an actual wecord in his files, or in the files of ‘the Health Department at Harris- Yurg, of the prior illness with the disease, from which the child is al- ¥eged to be immune. Health of- ¥icers must not issue school attend- mmce permits to so-called immunes, wmless such a recrd has been found, ‘no matter what the statement con- werning a prior attack made by the “parents, or physician, may be. “If such a record is not found, ‘all children must be included in the quarantine just the same as though ‘they had not had the disease. The ‘prover observation of these regula- tions, upon the part of all health ‘officers, as well as parents and fam- flv physicians, will be very greatly anvreciated by this Department,” said Dr. Campbell. AQontinuing, Dr. Campbell said:— “It i= respectfully suggested, in or- der that the work of the health of. firer be made more efficient by com- plete co-operation, that he advises ‘a school authorities that the in- tention now is to carry out the reg- “ulations in this matter to the very Yetter, and that such school author- ties must not accent anv child from ‘a home which is. or should he, un- ser quarantine, 'mlsss that child presents a permit to attend school wAnly signed by the health officer.” Fifty-two per cent. of all deaths *~ mder one year of age occur in in- S/smts under one month.

He declares that by his device radio ‘signals cannot be jammed, even if an- other wireless station is operating or “he same wave length, Secrets Guarded. “I am guarding the technical secrets very closely,” he sald when asked ‘about the invention, “for it has not been patented yet.

They would require no crew, every operation of | | the boat would be mechanical and ‘would be controlled by wireless.” Keeling said that the most valuable commercial aspect of his invention was that it made possible a system of transmitting tvpewritten messages by wireless which would not only he extremely fast but absolutely secret “A girl sitting in London,” he col. ¢inued, “could type out n message on the keyboard of an ordinary typewrit- er which would be simultaneously re- corded In typescript at all the receiv ing stations tuned to that particular transmitted.” Moving Lights Used to Aid Imperfect Vision Philadelphia, —Four weeks of “eye sxercise” straightened the cross-eyes of a twenty-two-months-old baby at the clinic of the Pennsylvania State Col lege of Optometry, The exercise was mostly the engag ing occupation of gazing at little col- ‘ored lights and figures that moved, but considerable ingenuity was exercised by clinic attendants In getting the child's attention, This patient is the youngest eve. treated by the clinle, according to Dr. Fdwin Forbes Tait, chief of the clinic and a member of the college faculty. One of the oldest and most difficult cases was a man of forty-eight years of age. Correction is dificult in per sons past twenty. The clinic of the College of Opt. ‘metry is one of the few in the East equipped to specialize in the treat- ment of cross-eyes, which the opto- metrist knows as “squint.” From 10 to 20 per cent of their cases are of cross-eyes, though approximately 2 per cent of all eye-defect cases are en- countered in the average clinic. Paris Claims Credit for First Periscope Paris,—The submarine periscope was not Invented by Sir Howard Grubb, Englishman, as generally believed, but by a Frenchman, according to a state ment made before the French Acad: emy of Sclences. M. Jean Rey, French invento; Jaimed that he himself conceived the first periscope and that it was used aboard the French submarine Gymnote fn 1801. At that time, he asserted, England had no underwater craft and the British government disapproved of then. M. Rey attributed the perfection o. the marine periscope to another Frenchman, Jules Carpentier, who constructed his model In 1897. He concluded by saying that other nations have since copied the principle of the Carpentier periscope.

POPPER ERP. | level at Shanhaikwan on the Gulf of TEAT WALL AGAIN IS FRONTIER LINE {Marks Boundary of Chinese and Enemy Territory. Washington—China's Great Wall, glamorous to all who have studied geography, but asually considered sig: past, has become a marker in recent news dispatches. With the fall of Chinchowfu to Japanese forces, the Chinese have moved south of the wall, and that ancient barrier now forms the frontier between Chinese and en: emy territory as it did for centuries after its construction. A bulletin from the National Geographic society tells of this great engineering wonder o” the world. “In a world of airpianes, bombs, heavy artillery and high explosives, the Great Wall of China is of no value as an obstacle to an enemy army.” says the Bulletin. “Because this is true, and has been for a long time, the Great Wall has come to be looked upon by many as a prodigious folly. But In its day it was of iacalculable value to the peace-loving Chinese who were able for considerable periods to keep the ‘Northern Barbarians’ out of their country. Once Effective Barrier. “The wall was effective because en- emies of the northern plains came against China with unorganized armies of cavalry, which, many times, beat ineffectively against the well manned barrier. There were occa sions, it is true, when the hordes broke through; but these successful forays and the losses that flowed from them | wall through the many years when it functioned successfully. i “Astronomers have speculated tha. ! the eat Wall is one of the few | works of man on earth that would ; be discernible by the naked eye from | the moon. No other single engineer- | ing accomplishment of any age com- pares with it in size, extent, and con- struction difficulties. Starting at sea Chilsli, it reaches an altitude of 9,900 feet among the mountains of western China, In the intervening area It crosses several mountain ranges quite or nearly a mile high. “The Great Wall is not a single structure but a system with sections built at different times. Its magni tude can best be understood If it is imagined that it were taken bodily up and set down in the United States, with its eastern emd at Philadelphia. This transplanted wal! would extend half way across the North American continent ! “The Great Wall is at its best in it. eastern section. There its sheer faces, from 20 to 50 feet high, are construct- ed of carefully built masonry. In places the entire wall is of masonry, in others the space between the masonry faces is filled in with stones and earth, North of Peiping (Peking) great blocks of carefully cut granite ure used, held in place by mortar superior to that made by the Chinese today. In other localities the wall is faced with large bricks of a finer quality than most of | those now manufactured In the | western world. ! Chin Made Great Wall Great. “Good engineers designed the wal. Rain water accumulating on the top is carried away by stone drains set at intervals of about 100 feet. The fine preservation of much of the wall | is owing to the foresight in providing | these drains, More than 25,000 to ers were built along the wall, at 5 tervals ranging from 100 yards to a mile, “The first disconnected walls along the northern frontier of China were probably constructed as early as 469 B. CO, when Xerxes was invading Greece. But the ruler who made the Great Wall great came two and a half centuries later: Chin Shih Huang-ti, who tried to brush aside previous Chi- nese history, and who insisted on be- ing called ‘First Emperor.’ Improving existing walls and erecting new ones, Chin created the first extensive sys- tem of defensive ramparts. Probably a thousand miles of wall was built in fifteen years under this ‘First Emper- or' and his immediate successor. The structure has been extended and re- paired at intervals during the past 2,200 years. During the past 300 years no extensive repairs have been made, and many of the less carefully built sections of the long rampart are fall. ing into decay.” Carpenter’s Fall Reveals Rare Medical Disease Wilmington, Del.—Victim of a rare malady, Paget's disease, Norwood Roe, forty-three, is now one and a half inch shorter than he was 13 years ago, And physicians believe he may shrink even more. Recently Roe, who is a carpenter, fell from a bullding. Rushed to a hospital, an X-ray showed that his vertebrae had shrunk greatly and were abnormally thin, typical of Paget's disease, with which he must have been afflicted for years, they said.
