WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING
NERVOUSNESS AND TOOTH
DECAY
Nervousness precipitates decay
in children's teeth, according to
Dr. Percy R. Howe, Boston, who
said long research had shown that
a child's diet might be sufficient
for good tooth structure and con-
dition, but the diet advantage
would be offset by a nervous spell.

CYCLONE CORES WARM
Shooting the eye of a cyclone
with a radio sonde, a robot weath-
er observer and radio transmitter
cariaed aloft by balloons, has re-
vealed that the cyclone has a warm
core, and that it may travel on
overhead atmosphere tracks in the
stratosphere instead of being gov-
erned by surface weather condi-
tiers.
HALTS PUERPERAL FEVER
Philadelphia physicians after
nearly three years of experimen-
tation have announced develop-
ment of a new vaccine against pu-
erperalnlfections (childbirth fe-
• ver) which proved 100 per cent.
e effective in 229 cases tested. Not
one case of puerperal sepsis, cause
of 50 per cent. of all obstetric
deaths, developed during the ex-
periments.

"ROCKING BED" CURE
Rocking beds, a new aid to me- .
dical treatment, are described in
the proceedings of the Mayo Clin-
ic.
The report says that in the first
eighty-eight cases at the clinic the
beds have given "rather striking
and rapid relief of pain" in the
legs and have brought sleep to
many sleepless persons.
They were used mostly on per-
sons with arteriosclerosis which
11.64 interfered with circulation of
the blood, with complications that
produced gangrene, in some in-
ances.
Flying Through
The Troposphere
•
lif aerial research continues at
its present pace, huge freight and
passenger planes will climb into
the troposphere and fly undei per-
feet conditions from one continent
aa another. Since 1934 conditions
it this layer of the atmosphere
have been studied and a number
at experimental flights already
tado. Flying above 20,000 ft.,
unes will be sealed and carry
teier own air, for above this al-
tude the atmosphere is so rare
khat cigarettes go out through
ack of oxygen.
But well above the clouds, the
Mosphere is nearly always fine,
find owing to the lighter quality
4 M the air there is less drag or
friction; Because of this, planes
'iirill travel at least 25 per tient.

second to Scout William Bean.

Two alert Sudbury Scouts out

a cord hanging from the limb of a
tree. Investigating, they found
a radio meteorgraph released from
Baltimore. The instrument indi-
cated the moistures, temperatures
and the height to which the in-
strument had ascended.
Clinton, Ont., Rover Scouts on
a fishing trip discovered a brush .
fire, notified the farmer and as-
sisted him to extinguish the fire.

Q. How can I press a suit more
satisfactorily?
A. Fold a large piece of news-
paper lengthwise, wet one side, of
it, and fold the dry side over the
wet side. Place the wee side
against the suit and iron a :i the
dry side. This will also prevent a
shiny suit.
Q. How can 1 make a good pin
cushion?
A. Dry hair -combings make a
nice filling for pin cushions. Dried
coffee grounds are also satisfac-
tory, as they do not gather Mois-
ture nor rust.
Q. How can I check hiccoughs?
A. An old remedy which often
Proves very effective is to put the
blade of a table knife on the ton-
gue for a few minutes.
Q. How can I return tatting to a
good clear color when it has be-
come very soiled?
A. The best plan is to wet the
tatting and soap it well. Then lay
it on Nome hand brush. This will
clear, it beautifully without harm-
ing it.
Q. 'How can I remove odors
from bottles?
A. Pill half -full of cold water
and add a tablespoonful of dry
mustard. Shake vigorously, let
stand half an hour, and rinse
thoroughly with clear water.
Q. How can I determine if the
turkey is ready to take from the
oven?
A, One method is to pierce the
leg. If the juice is white, or pale
pink, the turkey is ready.

Etiquette
SY ROBER I A LEE
1
1.. Isn't it- poor taste for the
frienc's of a newly married couple
to Blake them conspicuous in pub-
lic by attaching placards to their
car, and performing other Bach so-
called jokes?
2. At a holiday dinner, such as
Thanksgiving or Christmas, where
the service alight be called semi-
formal, is it all right to offer the
guests a second helping of turkey?
'3. When a married woman is
travelling alone, should site sign
the hotel register Mr;. H. L. Hud-
son, or Mary Lou Hudson?
4. Should a guest stay beyond
the time specified in the invitation,
when the hostess Faye, "Can't you
stay longer?"
5. What would be the best phrase
t•o use when a man is introducing
l"anothcr than to h's wfie?
6. It being the woman's privil-
ege to offer her hand to a mean,
if the man should offer his hand,
whet should she do?
Answers:
1. Yes. This is not only very
bad taste, but often vulgar. Mar-
riage is too sacred to be -.rade a
public jest by self-appointed
clowns. 2. Yes, by all means do
so. 3. She should sign, Mrs. H.
L. Hudson, and her home;city, but
not her street address. 4. No. A
hostess is usually trying to be
hospitable when she makes such a
remark. A guest should not over-
stay the time specified. 5. "Mar-
tha, this is Mr. White (or Charles
White)." 6. The well-bred woman
will accept it, of course, It would
be very rude, unfriendly, and ex-
eeedingly embarrassing if she did
not.
Name of Bay
Barrie Is On
Xempenfelt .Bay- Named After
British Real -Admiral of
18th Century -
'Jhe super -destroyer Kempenfelt,
whip has been taken over by the
'Caliadian navy, has been re•cbris-
tened Assiniboine. While it is no
• doubt the custom to change a ves-
sel's name' under these circum-
-stances,, and Assiniboine is a good
native -Canadian name, Kempenfelt
is also familiar to. Canadians as
that of . the bay on which Barrie
IS located. Canada's new naval un-
it, is no doubt called after the As-
siniboine river which bears the
name of the Assiniboine or Stoney
Indian tribe. The word means "one
who roasts fly the use of stones,"
an old Indian custom.
Governor Simcoe Bestowed It
Kempenfelt bay and the super -
destroyer Kempenfelt were both
named after a British rear -admiral,
Richard Kempenfelt, of Swedish
descent, who lived in the eight-
eenth century and went down with
-the Royal George at the time when
Its bottom fell out, an event pic-
tured by Cowper in a well-known
poem. It was Governor Simcoe who
bestowed the name on the On-
.
tario bay.

An Irish priest one Sunday, re-
ferring to . the miracle of the
loaves and fishes, said in error that
f'i've people had been fed with five
thousand , loaves and two small
fishes. After the service some of
the congregation discussed the
statement, - one of them named
Murphy declaring that, if it were
a miracle, he himself could do the
same thing. The next Sunday the
priest, baying heard of this, rein-
trodtced the subject, "I should
have told you last Sunday," he
said, "that five thousand people
had been fed with five loaves and
two small fishes." Then, looking
down at Mr. Murphy, he added:
"You .could not do that, Mr. .alur-
play, could you?" "Ali, sure, yer
riv'rence, I could easily enough,"
replied Murphy, "if I gave 'em
what were left over from last Sun-
day!"

Both the fond mother and the
patient photographer had failed to
make the restless little boy sit
still long enough to have his pie-
ture taken. Finally the photo-
grapher suggested that the mother
should leave the studio for a few
minutes, During her absence he
was successful in taking a good
picture. "What did the nice pho-
tographer say to make mother's
little darling sit still while I was
out of the room?" she asked the
child on the way home. "He said:
'You sit still, you little rascal, or
1'il knock your head off'," replied
the child.

His bagpipe playing was the,
chief thing that mattered to him
in life. One night, while he was
strutting about the room, skirling
for all he was worth, his wife at-
tempted a mild protest.
"Jock," she said, "that's an aw-
ful noise you're making."
So Jock sat down and took off
his boots.
