'rats are used to
study tooth decay
Find Soundness of Dentition
Depends on Diet.
? Two Johns Hopkins
university scientists have made public
discoveries that go far toward ex.dahlia*
the ways In which diet causes,
,r prevents. decay of teeth. Two fertillsfiS
ph??sphorus and calcium, regulated
h\ vitamin l> are the tooth
*a*ers.
The experiments showing how to
work the combination of the three sub.stance*
were explained In Science, ollloial
oi-an of the A inerican'''Association
for the Advancement of Science, by
pr K N'- MeCollum and lleyry Klejn.
Their work was aided by grants from
tl)e American Dental association.
The tests were made on rats. In
tl,e laboratories their curetukors grew
tooth cavities In the rodents almost
at will, or prevented them almost
entirely. >
All this was done simply by giving
the rats the right proportions of phosphorus
and calcium. This correct ratio
was.about four parts of phosphorus
to three of calcium. Proportions of
three to two did not work.
Not only the ratio was Important
but the amount also. There was a
minimum of the fertilizers below
which they failed of effectiveness.
When the rats were fed too little and
In wrong proportions, the report states
that 80 per cent of them developed
cavities In 140 days. With properly
balanced diet this decay was cut to
5 per cent.
The Investigators further ascertained
that the portion of the phosphorus
In the blood Is of vital Importance.
and that this els related to
vitamin IX
Calcium and phosphorus are two of
the principal fertilizers. They reach
man daily In many different kinds of
food, but their proportions vary
greatly. Vitamin.D comes both from
eating food and from sunshine or ul^
tra-violet light on the skin. -

FARMERS mix Til KIR OWN
Home-Mixing of Fertiliser and I:He
of Legumca Cheaper Fertility
* _
Clemson College, May 14.?"A
large amount of' fertilizer- has been
home-mixed; where one ton of mixed
goods was sold seven tons of raw
material for home-mixing was sold
this year. Cover crops made satisfactory
growth throughout the county
and have been turned under.'!
These statements of facts from
Lauiens through C. 11. Cannon, county
farm agent, are typical of many
I others from agents over the state,
indicating that South Carolina farmers
are resorting to cheaper fertility
for crops through home-mixing of
fertilizer formulus and through cover
crops for growing at home some of
the fertility needed for economic crop
production. ,
From iSpartanburg, County Agent
Krnest Carnes reports that, "We have
been called upon continually assisting
with home-mixed fertilizer form'ulas";
and Greenville County Agent
Gray states that "Home-mixing
is more general than I have over
known it to be and hundreds of farmers
are mixing according to our formulas."
So too in Fairfield, occording
to R. H. Lemmon, county farm
agent, "more home-mixed fertilizer is
being used than ever before." And
in York, L. W. Johnson, county farm
agent, sees good results from eight
fertilizer meetings at which information
was given on home-mixing.
As to cover crops S. M. Byars, An-C
derson county fartn agent, says:
"Austrian peas and vetch planted one
row to the cotton middle completely
covered the ground and made about
all the vegetable matter that can be
turned under with an ordinary plow";
W. F. Howell, Lancaster agent, states
tlhat much more interest is being
.shown in legumes; and W. H. Craven,
Bamberg agent? reports that the demonstrations
with Austrian peas and
vetch promise - much encouragement
for better yields of cotton and corn
following the legumes.

Lindbergh Baby
Found Murdered
Hopewell, N, J., May 13.?-The stolen
baby son of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
was found .dead yesterday in
the Souvland hills of New Jersey.
The child had been murdered.
Blows on the head, indicted probably
the same March night he was
kidnaped from the home of his famous
father, caused the infant's,
death.
The body, lying face down in a
hollow, and partly covered by leaves
and wind-blown debris, was discoyerud
by a negro truckman in a patch
of woods less than five miles from
the Lindbergh estate.
The body had been struck once on
top of the head on the left side and
once on the right below the ear, either
blow sb violently delivered that it
would have caused instant death.
It lay within 75 feet of where
linesmen had strung special circuits
to carry on world-wide communications
in the long and unsuccessful
effort to get back the curly headed
infant.
So badly was the body decomposed
that it had to be identified by
pieces of clothing, bone structures
and teeth, and it was impossible to
give the police the slightest clew as
to exactly what kind of instrument
had brought death.
To the Trenton establishment of a
county physician came Betty Gow,
nursemaid to the child and thd' last
person to see him alive the night ho
was stolen 72 days ago to forge the
final link of identification. She made
her identification both from the appearance
of the body and the child's
garments.
The tragic news found the mother
of the child, in the words of an intimate
friend, bearing up with her
"usual equanimity." His flying father
was absent from Hopewell, presumably
pursuing a private search to
which he has devoted ail his energies.
. ,
He was communicated with, however,
and he hastened toward Hopewell
from an undisclosed place.
Whether the child had been killed
with calculating purpose by criminals
who found it advantageous to
them, to get rid of the infant or
whether he had been struck and
thrown from a fast-moving automobile
by panic-stricken abductors was
a matter of conjecture.
The state's law enforcement agencies
sprang to the task of trapping
the kidnapers with renewed rigor.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, state
police head, announced that he already
had a gang under suspicion,
and Governor A. Harry Moore contributed
the statement that "Every
attempt should be made now to find
the murderers of the Lindbergh baby
"
Significance was attached to a hurried
telephone call which summoned
the county prosecutor, Irwin E. Marshall.
to the Lindbergh home for a ]
conference lute tonight. j
The skull bore a hole the size of |
a 25-ecnt piece above the forehead, j
An attempt had been made to buiy
the body. The coroner said death
was due to a compound fracture of
the skull.
The hair of the dead child tallied
with the shade of the blond, curlyhaired
Lindbergh heir, 20 months old
when he was stolen.
An undershirt and flannel band furnished
a more positive link.
Similar articles of clothing from
the Lindbergh baby's wardrobe were
brought to the spot from the home.
They matohed closely enough to
convince the authorities they had
found the body of the famous baby
for whom hundreds of thousands of
policemen in every part of the globe
had searched.
Then as police worked feverishly
I to be sure of their identification, telephones
rang in the state house at
Trenton, N. J. _
' Lindbergh estate for an important
announcement.
The telephone rang aga:n. It was
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, state
police head, who had been the field
marshal of the official investigation,
calling his superior, Governor A.
Harry \J??ore.
"Colonel Schwarzkopf tells me the
Lindbergh baby has been found
'dead," the governor informed the
i Associated Press correspondent.
I Three hours before (about 3:15 p
| m.) a truck bearing four men had
stopped on a steep grade between
Hopewell and the hamlet of Mount
Rose. The vehicle halted opposite a
wood separated from the road by a
small ditch. William Allen, a negro,
went into the woods and saw the
body.
"The body was pretty well concealed
by leaves, dirt and brush," the
subsequent formal statement by
Schwarzkopf explained. " Going
under the brush he (Allen) lowerec
his head and as he raised a branc>
he saw a skeleton on the ground."
"It was in a bad state of deconv
position" was the way Schwarzkop!
summarized the gruesome details of
the condition of the child's body.
Physicians later theorized tho compound
fracture was caused either by
a blow on the head with a blunt instrument
or from the effects of being
hurled from a car.
Dead Two Months
The best medical estimate was that
the body had been exposed to weather
"about two months." However,
physicians explained the child might,
have been abandoned the same night
ho was stolen from the home.
Colonel Lindbergh had made an
exhaustive private search for his stolen
son, spending thousands of dollars
and even paying a $50,000 ransom
to the supposed kidnapers, was
absent as the formal statement of
the finding of the body came from
police headquarters at his hilltop
home.
State troopers said he was not on
the estate. Latest reports were that
he had been in Virginia for more
than two weeks attempting to establish
contact with men posing as
the kidnapers.
Mrs. Anne Lindbergh, daughter of
the late Senator Dwight W. Morrow,
who expects the arrival of another
child within several months, also
was not seen. She and her mother,
Mrs. Morrow, wore known to have)
been in the house, however.
A wind howled over the Sourland
countryside thnt March 1 night when
the kidnapers crept up a ladder to
the second story window and took
the baby from his crib while his parents
and nurse were in other parts
of the house.
^ A drizzling rain fell in the dusk
of the late afternoon as those who
had been summoned by the polico
assembled in the garage.
Schwarzkopf, a grave look on his
face, told the arrivals to be seated
around the long table in the garage,
ami then discussed in detail how the
statement was to be made public.
J He dtyocted that no one leave tin|
til he had concluded., And when he
finished, he waved aside all questions
and directed all outsiders to depart
at once.
Among the information to be withheld
was any detail concerning the
whereabouts and health of the Lindbergh
family.
As he read his typewritten statement
in a quiet, deliberate voice, he
seemed to be weighing each word
carefully before uttering it.
Pencils raced across pads and
there were no interruptions except
for the almost constant jangling of
telephone bells. State troopers an[
swere<l the ealls but refuse<l to reply
to any questions.
To this dramatic denoumcnt the reaction
of Governor Moore was expressed
tersely:
"Every attempt should bo made
now to find the murderers .of the
Lindbergh baby."
His statement was echoed in a
second statement from C?ol. Schwarzkopf,
which was as follows:
"As long as there was a possibility
of the bay's being alive" the policed
have been, acting with a certain
amount of suppressed activity in order
not to interfere with any negotiations
that might result in the safe
return of the baby.
"Now that the body of the baby
has been found every possible efFort
will be used and all men necessary
will immediately exercise every possible
efFort to accomplish the arrest
of the kidnapers and murderers. We
have had under suspicion a group of
persons suspected of being the kidnapers
and immediate steps will be
taken and are being taken to accomplish
their arrest."
Robbers broke int# the county
courthouse at Purvis, Miss., Saturday
and carried away a truck load of
county records.
