BURGESS DANNY MEADOW MOUSE WISHES HE HAD STAYED HOME I W HEN Danny Meadow Mouse crept Into the little hole'ln the bank of the Smiling Fool his heart was beating so fast that It hurt. Then too, he was so tired that It didn’t seem to him he would be able to move again for a long time. You see, crossing the Smiling * Pool was a long swim for'such a little fellow as Danny Meadow Mouse. He had not been In the water for a long time before, and so of course swim ming tired him much more than.lt would have done had he been In the habit of swimming every day. It wouldn’t have been so bad if he hadn’t been obliged to swim Just as fast as he possibly could. As it was, the Big Pickerel who lives in the Smiling Pool had almost caught him. So between his terrible fright and his hard work Danny was quite used up. He laid down and for a while Just panted and panted, and all the time wished that he had stayed at home where he belonged on the other side ,of the Smiling Pool. By and by his heart stopped beating so fast, and he didn’t have to pant so to get his breath. You know the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows recover climbed out on his big, green Illy pad. Danny looked down Into the water and his heart gave a little jump. Half hid den under some lily pads was the Big Pickerel who had so nearly caught him. Danny didn’t need to be told that the Big Pickerel was lymg there in the hope that Danny would once more take to the water. Suddenly an ugly black head with wicked looking horny jaws was thrust out of the water In the middle of the Smiling Pool. It was the head of Snapper the big Snapping Turtle, and the very sight of him made Danny shiver, for he knew that nothing would suit Snapper better for a dinner than a fat meadow mouse. More than ever Danny wished he had stayed at home. ©, T. W. Burgess.—WNU Service. French Hat for Spring MARRIAGE By ANNE CAMPBELL A BOVE the din of the children.

This is a wise provision of Old Mother Nature. If It were not so they would not be prepared to meet unex pected new dangers. So It wasn’t a great while before Danny once more felt quite himself. He crept to the entrance of the hole In which he had found safety and peeped out. He wanted to see If Red dy Fox was still on the othe.r bank of the Smiling Pool, and what his chances of getting hack home in safety were. The Smiling Pool was as calm and peaceful and lovely as if no such thing as danger was ever known there. Over on the other bank Danny could see Reddy Fox. It was evident that Reddy had not given up hope of getting a meal of some kind at the Smiling Pool. Danny’s big cousin, Jerry- Muskrat, had just climbed out on the Big Rock with a lily roof.' This he began to eat. Just watching him made Danny hun gry.

ALLEN GRIFFITH DENTAL PAIN KILLING \ T HE fear of rpajn la man’s heritage. An American dentist reduced that heritage, forever by making the first practical use of nitrons oxide (laughing gas) as an anesthetic. ~ Anesthesia really was discovered on December 11, 1844, by Horace Wells, a dentist of Hartford, Conn., when he offered himself as a possible martyr to .sufj^ng humanity, by Inhaling nitrous oxide and having a tooth extracted. In January, 1845, Doctor Wells took his discovery to Boston and operated be fore the medical college. He was ridi culed and pronounced a fraud. The wise men of Boston pointed the finger of mockery and cried “humbug.” de- termined to break upon the reeks of derision any man from the country who supposed the wise men of the city ri diculous enough to believe his story. Dentists in their eagerness relieve human suffering and pain, have for years successfully used local anesthet ics such ns (Mcnin and novocain. In Inter years they have developed the use of a combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen, ihe safest general anesthetic known. The death rate from nitrous oxide and oxygen is estimated at one in a million, against one In thirty thou sand In ether. Dentistry’s latest gift to suffering mankind Is conductive anesthesia or nerve blocking, by which the area con trolled by a nerve is repdered insen sible to pain. Surgery Is now able to perform major operations such as laparotomies and amputations by ifi- Jecting tjie nerve trunks with ^novo cain. What would he man’s fear and dread of dental and surgical operations without the gracious sleep of an esthesia? Through anesthesia, dentistry has given to humanity one of Its greatest boons, and It is hard to conceive that Ip the past few years, hills have been introduced in some of our state legis latures to prevent dentists from giving anestlieties. However, It Is only In line with the profound scientific Ignorance of politicians. The dentist has succeeded In taking the “dent” out of dentistry. Where an Individual suffers from pain in his teeth, It Is his own fault The modern up-to-date dentist has so many ways of relieving pain that no one need to suffer from their teeth. His latest and greatest gift to humanity, however, Is the prevention of systemic disease through the proper care of the teeth. Proper dental care will not only pre vent patir and preserve the teeth but will preserve general health as well. • • » TEETH AND TONSILS Smart for School or Wofk in Office V FATTER* Picture of San Francisco Bay in 1937 . , © Calif. Toll Bride* Authority. U PON an aerial photograph of San Francisco bay, with Oakland In the back ground, architects for the San f*?anclsco-Oakland Bay bridge have drawn In to scale a representation of the world’s largest bridge, 8^4 miles long (nearly four miles over water), which will connect Alameda and San Francisco counties. The west half of the bridge Is a suspension structure comprising twin suspension bridges anchored into a huge concrete monument In the center. A double-deck tunnel pierces Yerba Buena Island, occupied by army, navy and lighthonse serv ices, and the double-deck bridge continues over a 1,400-foot cantilever sj^an, 5 through truss spans, and IjLdeck truss spans before it lands on a fill extending out from the Oakland shore. At the eastern shore, trestles carry the bridge traffic on to thpee branches—one for Berkeley, one for Oakland, and one for the business section of Oakland and Alameda. The piers of thla bridge—51 In num ber—set new marks on engineering frontiers, going deeper below water than any previous substructure has heretofore been built Some of the piers go as far as 237 feet below low tide. The two suspension bridges have 3'310-foot main spans. The lower dfeck carries two tracks for Interurban electric cars and three lanes for heavy trucks, and the upper deck carries a 58-foot highway for six lanes of automobiles. The clearance for ships at high tide Is 227 feet, 37 feet h’ghtr tbaa the . masts of any ship now afloat W HEN you smile In a mirror what do you see? Do you see a clean, healthy mouth and a row of pearls, or a neglected oral cavity with decaying, uncared-for teeth? The mucous membrane of the mouth Is highly resistant to the Invasion of bacteria. If this were not true, we would all be In constant trouble from mouth infeetions, for It Is easy to demonstrate that every mouth in any civilized community contains a great" variety of bacteria, most of them a* highly virulent strains. During the past few years 4t has been the practice to remove the ton sils, but to overlook their source of Infection, the teeth. Let ns see how the tonsils become Infected. ’The substance of healthy tonsils Is composed, of small nodules of lymphat ic tissues arranged in groups of 12 to 15 crypts and connective tissue, blood vessels and a. few nerve fibers. From the crypts numeroas follicles branch out. Into the substance of the tonsil by means of Irregular channels. Surrounding each follicle Is a plexus of lymphatic vessels, and the whole Is covered by mucous membrane. • While well rotected from -the out side, yet, beeau~<* of their peculiar construction, and tho numerous lymph- incubators for micro-organisms that may once succeed In penetrating the lymph channels. The lymphatic ,es- sels of the gums terminate Jn the sub rr.axilnxy gland’s. The lymphatic ves-. gels leading from the plexuses sur rounding the tonsllar crypts also pass to the suhmpxllary glands. It is there fore readily seen that bacteria may pass almost directly from the gum margins to the tonsils. Bacteria passing Into" the lymph channels may easily pass on to the tonsils and be enormously multiplied, both In number and virulence, and be passed through the sobmaxlllary glands to the ’deep cervical glands, and finally on to other pants of the body without the surface of the ton sil even being disturbed. This Is why the removal of the tonsils, while Im mediately helpful, does not always re move the source of the trouble. The same condition still remains, and op eration after operation frequently suc ceed each other as the lowered resist ance of some o’her point cansesjt to become Infected. If the teeth are properly cared for first sod the crypts of the tonsils carefully cleaned out the tonsils may frequently be saved. In any event the teeth should be the first consideration, for In treating diseases resulting from focal Infection the original point of Infection must be eradicated. ©, WMtara Newspaper Unloa, When a girl leaves the house be fore nine every rfiorning, whether she’s off to school or to work, she needs at least one well-tailored frock In her wardrobe, one that will take her smartly throagh long busy hours and bring her home at night hooking as freshly dressed as when .she., start ed.
