L. Marsh writing in Health, the official organ of the Health League of Canada, refutes the delusion that a childs first teeth are of little: importance since they won't last long. On the contrary, he asserts, they should be looked upon as the foundations for the permanent -teeth. Unless they are maintained in the mouth in a healthy condi- tion for the proper length of time, he says, the lower two thirds of the face fails to develop fully and symmetrically and the whole appearance of the face may be spoiled. - DENTIST 3 TIMES YEAR More than this, he asserts, den- tal infections progress more ra- pidly in the teeth of children than in those of adults, and he recom- mends that children's should be examined at-least three times a year from three years of .age to adolescence. Regarding the general care of the teeth, Dr. Marsh urges thor- ough mastication of fibrous foods such as celery and raw apples. Gum tissués Tieed exercise no less than' muscles, he states, and also the chewing of fibrous foods is about the best way possible to polish those surfaces of the teeth that lie toward the tongue. Diet has mueh to do with the health of the. teeth, says Dr. Marsh, At least a pint of milk a day should be drunk, and meals should include one egg a day, some fresh fruit and- vegetables; while sticky, starchy - carbohy- drates should be reduced to a minimum. In winter months, when sunbaths are impossible, cod-liver oil should be taken in order to supply the necessary vitamin D. aaa at a LE RR Lo] What Science! Is Doing POP APU LCICI PPS 4O SEEK SHOCK PREVENTIVE Federal authorities have re- quested medical research workers at McGill University to speed up their investigation into the cause and prevention of shock.

Rats which can live in the dark can remain in a healthy state without vitamin D, the sunshine _vitamin. Now it has been demon- strated that cockroaches, which also are sun dodgers, do not manufacture vitamin A in their bodies and do not require it in their diet. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. When room at the dinner. table is limited, would it be all right to allow about 16 inches for cach person? 2. Should a man use his right hand or left hand when tipping his hat? 3. Is it'rude to begin a tele- phone conversation by _ saying, "Who is this"? 4. Should a man "talk shop" at a dinner party? 5. When invited for a weck- end visit and you are not sure what kind of clothes to take, what should you do? 6. Should a bridegroom give a wedding gift to his bride? Answers 1. No; this would be entirely too crowded. The minimum space to allow is 20 inches, while 80 inches is much better. 2, Either hand, but it should be the one farthest away from the person to whom he is speaking. 3. Yes. It is in the place of the person who calls to quickly identify himself. 4. Never; nor at any kind. of party or social gathering. The man who does is invariably con- sidered a bore. 6. Ask your host- ess what clothes you will require. 8. Yes; this is customary. At Night Down by the pond where the water-bugs creep, The green frogs hide all day; Then at night, when it's time to sleep, They bring out their fiddles to play!

Plant Detectives ° The present way of discover, ing minerals is to examine geo- logical formations and take same ples of the earth's strata, but a new method has now been intro- duced by two Swedish scientists. They analyze the leaves gnd roots of plants where mineral lodes aro suspected, for minerals are dissolved by rain, mixed with the soil in which plants grow -and sucked up into the roots, stem and leaves, The scientists reduce the leaves to ash and photograph setist them. When examined under a _¢haravterisfic lines powerful microscope certain are. always seen, and it is possible to tell by studying. these whether a certain element is prasent. This method _has 'proved successful in trdcing hé rarer minerals, such as nickel and molybdenum. m in the woods, where the River in Algeria ; Of Natural Ink If you saw somebody filling a fountain pen from a river, and then writing with it, you~would be entitled to rub your eyes -- unless you happened to be in Al- geria.

HAVE - | YOU HEARD? ~~ The newly-wed . salesman, ac- companied by his wife," entered the dining-roomrof the hotel which he used to frequent. His order ncluded roast chicken,. but there was some delay. "Where's my chicken?' he de- manded, somewhat irritably. The waiter, replied in a husky undertone: "Sorry, but if you mean tho little girl with blue eyes and fluf- fy hair, she doesn't work here now!" "A fool and his money are soon parted." AEN "Who got yours?" "Yes," said the boastful young man, "my family can trace its ancestry back to William the Con- queror." « "I suppose," remarked "his friend, "youll be telling us that your ancestors were in the Ark with Noah?'{s ' "Certainly" not," said the other, "My people had a boat of their own." She: "What sort of house shall we move to?" Husband: "Let's try a bungalow, dear-- then you won't always be hearing burglars moving about downstairs." A Montreal firm recently had occasion to cable their London of- fice to enquire. whether one of their clients was still quite safe, as he was not answering cables, and they took advantage of the opportunity to enquire how their London manager's_ parrot was standing up to the bombing : (the parrot is quite. a. personality, in "the home), The following cable was received in answer: ". . . Parrot well but has form- ed disturbing habit of imitating air raid siren." She: "How much money do you happen to have on you, dear?" SIE : He: "Between 98 and 100 dollars." "Isn't that quite a bit of money to be carrying around?" ~ "Oh, 'two » dollars isn't so much.' Ni AS?

Pact Renewed -_ Year's Extension Of Trade Treaty Announced Extension of the Canada-New Zeuland trade agreement for a fur- ther perlod of one year has been announced by Hon. G. A. MacKin- non, Trade Minister. The agreement - was concluded --May 24, 1932, for one year but has been = extended at varlous times since then, the last extenslon being in 1939 to September 30, 1940, Theo agreement provides for fix- ed rates of duty on certain enum. erated goods Imported into New Zealand, and on all other products the benefits of British preferential tariffs. Corresponding concessions aro granted on New Zealand's pro- ducts imported into Canada, FALLING-OFF OF EXPORTS Since December 5, 1938, the Gov- ernment of New Zealand have found jt necessary to impose jm- port restrictions on goods import ed into that country. This has been due to the general financial posi tion in New Zealand, while since the outbreak of the war the need for conserving' foreign 'exchange + has made it necessary to curtail imports of goods from other coun- tries to an even greater degree than had been the case with' the restrictions in force last year. As a result there has been a falling off in Canadian exports to New Zealand, but the balance of trade between the two countries is still in favér of Canada, Memorization Is Important Facts and Symbols Are Need- ed Constantly; But Students Must Know Meaning or college suppose he can get al ong without 'boning, (committing things to memory), There are cer- tain facts and symbols which will be needed constantly. The earller they are memorized the better, An example is the spelling of the tech- nical vocubulary of any course, Many are tempted to memorize to memorize more words and - phrases. Though some can by con- ination make good grades through this procedure, they are pretty sure to meet with trouble by and by. You'll learn really very little of any subject this way, 4 Some students are content with figuring. out the meaning, They don't bother about committing ideas or items to memory, They trust to incidental memory. They neglect & step in study at which they could, through a little systematic effort and self-discipline, get greatest div- {dends from small investment of ef- fort. As.a rule, what is worth fig- uring out, is worth 'remembering. Some practice at boning is good practice for the student, .
