CHAPTER XXXIII
Young Carl Knight v.-as just re
covering from a badly abscessed tooth.
His swollen cheek had resumed its
proper curve and, color. His tempera
ture and spirit had returned to nor
mal. Apparently, aside from some un
pleasant memories, he was little the
worse for wear, except and this is
important except that his tooth was
so badly infected that the dentist
advised its removal.
"I'm sorry." said Dr. Young, after
he had thoroughly examined the baby
molar. "It would be folly to attempt
to save this tooth. It is so badly in
fected that it would be injurious to
Carl's health to allow it to remain in
his mouth."
"Oh. that is all right, Doctor," said
Mrs. Knight, "take it out. It is only
a baby tooth anyway."
"You seem to think that baby teeth
aren't important," said the dentist as
he selected his instruments for the
operation.
"Oh. I suppose they are, in a way,"
replied Carl's mother. "But I don't
think they are so important as the
permanent teeth. Do you?"
"Yes, I do," replied the dentist.
"The baby teeth are every bit as im
portant as the permanent teeth, but
few people realize it.
"Here is the situation that I am
placed in. You have brought your
child to me. You want me to give
him the best dental tare possible. I
know that that baby tooth is a very
important organ in his body. I know
that its removal will cripple his chew
ing mechanism and may cause one
or move or his permanent teeta to
come in crooked. Crooked teeth are
the forerunners of a great deal of
dental tumble in later life.
"On the other hand. I'm quite sure
that if I leave that infected tooth in
his mouth, even though I treat it as
carefully as possible, some of the in
fectedmaterial may drain into his
system and infect some other part of
his body. So you see, I am confronted
by two evils. If I leave the tooth in,
his health may be injured. If I take
the tooth out, some crooked perman
ent teeth may be the result. All I
can do is to choose the lesser of the
twoevils. which means extract."
"Oh dear," said Mrs. Knight. "Isn't
there any way that you can keep his
second teeth straight even though
you do extract this baby tooth?"
"Let me qualify my statement
about crooked permanent teeth," said
Dr. Young. "I don't want to give you
the impression that the permanent
teeth always come in crooked when
the baby teeth are extracted too soon.
But such is the case so often that I
must warn you about it. I am not
going to take any chances of Carl's
teeth coming in crooked, and so I
amgoing to put a space maintainer
am going to put a space maintainer
"What is a space maintainer?" ask
ed Mrs. Knight.
Instead of answering immediately.
Dr. Young gave his undivided atten
tion to Carl a little anesthetic, a
deft twist of the wrist, and the in
fected tooth was removed.
"Ering Carl back next Friday at
four, and I'll show you what a space
maintainer is," said the dentist.

will be coming in in such volume it
wvll be necessary to ship same via

DAKOTA FOSSIL FOUiUD OF
15-TON MARINE LIZARD
CAVALIER, N. D. (UP) The fos
sil of a prehistoric sea lizard, a ma
rine reptile believed to have lived
more than 200,000,000 years ago, hat
been unearthed in the Pembina
mountains west of here.
The discovery was made by G. Aus
tin Schroter, Los Angeles geologist,
and a crew in his employ.
The giant lizard was found buried
in a tine silt, -75 feet beneath the
surface of what Schroter believes was
once a tidal lagoon. Fossilized ferns
and rushes found with the skeleton
indicate that the climate then was
tropical and mcist in that section of
the United States now classified as
sub-Arctic.
The rock formation in which the
skeleton was imbedded is known as
the Pierre division of the cretaceous.
The Pierre sea, in which the lizard
(technically known as Mosasarus)
lived at one time, covered much of
central North America, Schroter said.
It included large areas of the Da
kotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma,
Texas and the prairie province of
Canada. Similar specimens have been
found in several sections of that area.
The sea lizards such as the one un-
earthed here are believed to have
weighed 15 tons. Their brain, by
contrast, weighed three ounces.

1 PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES i
4-
The report of the Plattsmouth pub
lic library for October list3 57 new
registrations and re - registrations.
The number of books exchanged was
3703, an increase over September of
1061 books, but a decrease over Octo
ber, 1936, of 890 books.
Miss Leonard gave a report before
the library board, on the state li-
brary meeting in Omaha which she
attended in October. She found it
inspirational and informing. In the
papers given and in talk with other
librarians, she find3 that, the volume
of circulation seems to be decreasing
just now, in most libraries. But at
the same time there is much improve
ment (as in our own library) in the
quality of the books requested. So
perhaps what seems a loss, is really
a gain a step forward in library
service.
Four new books are of interest to
all of us, coming as they do from
the pens of Nebraska authors: "John
Andrews, Boss" by John Philip Barn
hart was written by a man approach,
ing his 80th birthday. It is a novel,
the result of Mr. Barnhart's remin
iscences on his early days in the
White River country, near Long Pine,
Nebr.
Ilelene Margaret, Omaha poetess,
has written a new narrative poem
entitled "The Great Horse." It is a
dramatic tragic tale of the trek of
the Mormons from Nauvoo, 111., to
winter quarters where Omaha now is.
The Great Horse is a symbol of lib
crtv. the "croal of heart's desire," for
'which the Mormons were seeking.
"The Rumelhearts of Rampler
Ave," by Maude Smith Delavau is a
story of humor and charm, which
tells of Mrs. Rumelheart's search for
a permanent home, and how, at long
last, she and all her family find it.
The Junior Literary Guild has
chosen as one of its books-of-the-month
"Hans Christian of Elsinore,"
by Mrs. Eva M. Kristoffersen, assist
ant librarian of Lincoln City library.
