COBB AFOPULAR Jewish comedian told me this one not long ago and vouched for it as an actual occurrence in which he personally had played a secondary part. "My father," he said, "is getting to be a pretty old man now. It is nearly forty years since he came to America but in thought and in expression he still clings to old-country ways. On the business side he has been successful, but outside of his business he is so crcdu'.ou.; and so simple that frequently he is imposed upon and has finally come to believe; I am afraid, that this world is largely populated by amateur and professional bunco steerers. "It's awfully hard to get him to stir away from home. Kow:-er a few. months ago, when I was playing an engagement at Bn.Talo I induced him to quit the office for a few days and come up to I'ufTa'o as my guest. On the afternoon of his arrival I chartered an automobile r.nd rode him out to Niagara. "For fully five minutes he stood silently contemp'ating the Falls in all their majesty and their beauty. I lingered along.ido v.aitin v for some expression from him of the effect produced by his fust sight of Niagara. But he didn't sav a word. So, finallv I broke in.

"That's a fair question," replied uv. loung. ill i iy id answer it tor you. i tu ning to isouoy, White's son. he said, "Open up. old tinier, and let your mother look at your teeth." Dr. Young pointed out Bobby's sixth-year molars to Mrs. White. "Tho sixth-year molars,"' be explain ed, "come through the gums when the child is about six years of age. That is why they are called 'sixth year molars.' The proper name for these teeth is 'first permanent mo lars.' They are permanent teeth, not baby teeth. In fact, they are usually the first of the permanent teeth to erupt. They come in the child's mouth back of, or behind, the baby molars. They erupt at about the same time that the child is losing his baby front teeth and replacing them with the permanent front teeth. The child has four sixth-year molars, two in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. Curiously enough, each sixth-year molar is also the sixth tooth back from the front center of the mouth." With his instrument Dr Young counted Bobby's teeth, beginning with the central inoisor back to the first permanent molar. "One, two, three, four, five, six. See, the sixth I tooth is the sixth-year, or first per manent molar. That is easy to re member, isn't it? The first perman ent molar is called the sixth-year molar, it conies in at six years of age,, and it is the sixth tooth back from 'the front of the mouth. "They are called the most import ant teeth in the mouth for several reasons. As they are the first of the permanent teeth to erupt, the other permanent teeth, which erupt later, must come in on either side of them. If the first permanent molars are not in their right positions, the other permanent teeth will come in the wrong position. Many dentists call these teeth the 'keystone of the den tal arch." You see, they act much like the keystone of any other arch. If the keystone is lost or if it is out of place, the whole arch is weakened, and improperly shaped. ba(.k whopj ,)e ,la,, ( ,.,.;,! ,-,, water Not only do the first permanent i . , , molars determine, to a great extent hole to water llo,(' OV1'' a ,(Kl ol the position of the other teeth in) nine months.
