W John, Mary and Jack DENTISTRY and PUBLIC HEALTH Approved by American Dental Association and the United States Public Health Service PLATTSMOUTH DENTAL SOCIETY CHAPTER VIII Jack was six months old. The Rey r.c.lds household was torn with ex itement because Jack had a new tooth. In fact one could almost say he hud two new teeth. Some time during the njMvt one of his lower trout teeth had pushed through the g-.ms. To his mother it resembled a pearl in a pink plush setting:. His o'hor lower front tooth was discern ible just beneath the sums. Mary was so excited by her discovery that site stopped in the middle of his bath and called her husband.. "John." she cried, "you never can guess what has happened." "No," replied John. "I can't, but I judge from the tone of your voice that the Kins of Siam has died and l.'lt us a mil-ion dollars." "lie serious. John." said Mary. This is important. Jack has a tooth. I discovered it this morning; when I was bathing him." "Only one?" asked John, discon solately. "No, two." replied Mary, "that is almost two. One is through his gums and another almost through. Aren't you excited?" "Yes." said John. "It makes me feel that age is creeping on. We will see what can be done about it this evening when I get home." John's lack of enthusiasm did not worry Mary. She knew that he wa3 j.ist as excited about it as she was. only he wouldn't let his excitement show. Our baby i; growing up. thought Mary. I wonder when he will get thf rest of his baby teeth. Anglers Inspect Tackle As Trout Season Opens Mild Winter Insures Record Catches, Fish Experts Announce By WALTER SEIFERT I liter-national Ilhixf rated News Feature Writer MACKINAC, Mich. To the wide ppread array of anglers who have been toying with their fishing tackle, the advent of April brings an event of greatest significance the open ing of trout season. Passing of the winter months is celebrated in a wide variety of ways. Women greet the first spring days by donning new, gay-colored clothes. Baseball fans, hiding their noses in sports pajes. gobble down every grain of training (tamp news. And amateur gardeners, f. species found through out the nation, hurry home nights to J slice stubborn soil and plant promising-looking seeds. But to the genuine trout addict, spring means none- of these. With enthusiasm which, confounds even his closest friends, he encuks off to a backwoods stream, to dick a fly or dangle a worm over the surface of some roily pool. Trout Opens Season In theJ'nitcd States trout season officially opens piscatorial pursuits for the year. This is true because tradition bars so dictated, and ulso be cause the trout is a cold-water deni zen whose appetite is positively rav enous in early spring. First love of all fresh-water ang lers, the speckled brook trout is most prized of all fish. It has al3o been dubbed "the fightingest." Protect ed by strict game laws, it has in creased rapidly duimg recent years, and is now again competing with the German Brown, variety which has thronged North American streams since its importation. In addition to the brocit trout, i which is found in almost every state of the union, fishermen will seek the Dolly Varden. Rainbow, Brown, Gray ling:, Steelhead and Namaycush va rieties. The latter, an inhabitant of the deep Gret JLakes waters, often Upon the completion of his morn ing bath and ten o'clock feeding, she sat down for a moment and studied the dental chart which Dr. Young had given her. This chart gave the name, date of eruption and date of exfoliation of the baby teeth. Name of Tooth Cent. Incisors Lat. Incisors Date of Eruption 5- 7 mos, 7- 9 mos Date of Shedding 5- 7 yrs. 7- D yrs. Cuspids 1S-20 mos. 11-13 yrs. 1st Molars 12-14 mos. 9-11 yrs. 2nd Molars 24-30 mos. 9-11 yrs. There are 20 teeth in the child's first set. Ten in the lower jaw and ten in the upper. The child has fonr central incisors, two below and two above. He has four cuspids, two below and two above and he has eight baby molars, four in his lower jaw and four in his upper jaw. As a rule the lower teeth come in a little sooner than the corresponding upper teeth, although this does not always hold true. No hard and fast rule can be laid down regarding the eruption of baby teeth. Some children naturally are slower in cutting their teeth than others, although the normal, properly fed child "will usually get his baby teeth about the dates men tioned on the chart above. After all it is not so important when the baby teeth come in as it is to keep them in a good healthy con dition until they are replaced by his permanent teeth. "Well, said Mary. "Jack seems to be a normal, healthy joungster. At least he is getting the first of his teeth on time. I am going to see that he continues healthy so that he can keep his baby teeth healthy rrd retain them until they are re placed by his second set." (Continued) DIES IN KANSAS From Thursday's Dally Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Carter and daughter, Beverly Ann, of Omaha, departed this afternoon for Neo dfc.sha, Kansas, called there by the message of the death this morning of J. F. Carter, 85. The deceased was the father of J. H. Carter. rcache3 a weight of 20 pound3. The relative absence of late-winter freshets ha3 made this year's trout prospects exceptionally good. Disastrous floods which swept the great rivers did net harm the entailer streams. Mildness of the recent win ter favored growth of fingerlings in Lstate hatcheries, and a record num ber of fish are now being transplanted into natural waters.

COBB The Sway of Eloquence By IRVIN S. COBB DOWN in my part of the country in the old days of silver tongued speakers and sour mash Bourbon, we were a high strung and sentimental people, and oratory moved us as nothing else would. There was ence a brawny blacksmith in our county who was elected justice jf the peace on the strength of his Confederate record and because his wife was distantly related to the Crittenden family, and the first case he sat to hear was one growing out of the death of a cow under the wheels of a freight train. After the evidence was all in, the attorney for the plaintiff made a most effective argument. In vivid word pictures he sketched the abundant virtues of the late cow; he described her sweetness and her gentleness, her capacity as to milk; he told of the great bereavement to her immediate family, consisting of a young calf, and he dwelt upon the heartlessness of a railroad system which by it3 brutal carelessness had at one fell swoop, as it were, made stew meat of the parent of and orphan of the offspring. His peroration is still remembered. The langua-re of it was homely, yet moving. "And, finally, squire," he said in summing up, "if the tram had been run as she should have been ran and if the bell had been rung as she should have been rang, and if the whistle had been blowed as she should have been blew both of which they done neither this here co-" would not have been injured at the time she was killed." As he sat down the new justice said with a voice hushy with feeling, "1 e done heard enough! Tlaintiff wins!" and proceeded to enter judg ment for the full amount of damages. (Amsricoa News Features.

CUT IN GRANT LOAD LEADS TO OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK From Friday's iJaily Jean Spangler of the Resettlement Administration announced this morn ing that the grant load for Cass and Sarpy counties has been cut down over fifty per cent from the high point of the past winter. He believes it will be cut to one-fifth of the largest load, which was 250, during the coming month. Work is picking up on the farms of the two counties, some, pasture is now available so that livestock has feed and both egg and milk produc tion is increasing. Another facttV" that has made less grants necessary is the lowering of living expenses dining the spring months. Mr. Spangler and Mrs. II. B. Briggs, home supervisor, arc spend ing the greater part of their time now in interviews on the farms in pre paration for the financial plan for 1937. They are assisting farmers who have loans in planning their crop for the coming year. See t;le gcods yCu Duy. Catalog descriptions are alluring enough, but how about the goods when ou set them? Social Security Act Annulled by a Federal Court Appeals Division Holds Taxing Pro visions Unconstitutional ; Two to One Decision. Boston. Slashing at the taxing as pects of the social security act and declaring a need for maintaining "state's rights," the U. S. first circuit court of appeals ruled unconstitu tional both the unemployment insur ance and old age assistance provisions of the social security act. In a two to one decision the court reversed a fed eral district court on both counts, upholding a public utility stockhold er, George P. Davis of Waltham, who sought to overthrow the act. "The entire plan, viewed as a whole," the court declared, "is an at tempt to do indirectly what congress cannot do directly, and to assume na tional control over a subject clearly within the jurisdiction of the states." The appeals court decision came while the U. S. supreme court already is digesting arguments pro and con as to the constitutionality of the act. The federal circuit court of appeals in New Orleans upheld the validity of the statute. The case was carried to the supreme court and arguments already have been held. Senior Judge George II. Bingham, who was appointed during the demo cratic Wilson administration, dis sented from the opinion of his two ! colleagues. Justices Scott Wilson and James M. Morton, jr Both were ap- pointed during republican adminis trations. Hardly had the court ruled when Thomas H. Elliot of Cambridge, gen eral counsel for the social security board and one of those who helped frame the act, came forward with a statement that this was "the first re verse suffered by the social security act in the federal courts." He added: "The social security program will be continued to be carried out as here tofore in the absence of any adverse decision by the supreme court.' ' In its decision, handed down Fri day afternoon, the court majority "The important issues, we thiuk are whether the tax imposed (under the unemployment insurance provision) can be termed an excise tax, and whether the federal govern ment . . . seeks indirectly to control state action in matters resting solely within the powers reserved to the states under amendment 10 of the constitution." In an array cf arguments going back to Adam Smith's "wealth of na tions" the court held that the clause providing for state unemployment acts to match the federal provision amounted "to coercion of the states and control by congress of a matter clearly within the province cf the rtates." New Avenue Lef Open. The court, in labeling the act as outside thy constitution, mentioned the posibility of an amendment, fay ing that "if the constitution, as con strued thru the years, requires amendments to meet new conditions the way is provided therein." Ruling on the old age assistance provisions of the act, the court said the new deal NRA, AAA, GuiTey coal, railroad retirement and child labor acts, all remind us that, unless the courts are continually on guard to preserve the dual form of our govern ment as founded by our forefathers, the siates will indeed become mere "geographical subdivisions of our na tional domain." Judge Bingham, in dissenting from the view of his colleague that the taxing provision of the act were in valid, said: "It seems to me that . . . the act of doing business, or of doing business in a particular way or form, may be selected by congress as a proper object for laying an ex cise tax and that the act of employ ing individuals in a business or occu pation may likewise be a proper ob ject for an excise tax."
