CHAPTER XXXIV
Promptly at four o'clock on Fri
day afternoon, Mrs. Knight and Carl
walked into Dr. Young's office.
"Right on time, I see," smiled the
dentist, as his assistant prepared Carl
for his treatment.
"Yes," replied Mrs. Knight, "and
from now on, we will always be on
time until Carl's teeth are in good
condition. How does his mouth look.
Doctor, after 'last wek's extrac
tion?" "Fine," replied the dentist. "The
gum is practically healed now. By
the way, last week you asked me to
explain the advantages of a space
maintainer, didn't you?"
"Yes," replied Mrs. Knight. "You
said you might put one in Carl's
mouth, I believe."
"That's right." said the dentist.
"Quite often, the early extraction of
a baby tooth, especially a baby molar,
retards the regular and normal de
velopment of the child's jaw. Also,
the teeth on either side of the space
have a tendency to tip or shift into
the opening. Not only do the teeth
on either side of the space shift or
move, but quite often the tooth in
the opposite jaw directly above or
below the space will elongate simply
because it has no tooth to bite
against. That is what may happen
in Carl's mouth. You see. this upper
baby molar does not strike against
any lower teeth since I removed the
lower baby molar. Therefore, n a
very short time, possibly a few week3
or months, this upper molar may
drop down out of place.
"By putting a space maintainer in
Carl's mouth. I will not only pre
vent the shifting of the teeth in his
lower jaw, but will prevent that
upper tooth from dropping down out
of its proper position in the upper
jaw."
Dr. Young picked up a small plas
ter model from his cabinet.
"This." he said, "is a simple form
of space maintainer. It consists of
two thin gold bands fitted to the
teeth on either side of the space.
This heavy gold bar is attached to
both gold bands. Thus, you see, the
bar prevents the two teeth from tip
ping and it also prevents the upper
molar from drifting downward, be
cause everv time Carl closes his
mouth, the upper molar will strike
against the bar.
"The main thing about this appli
ance is that it does just what its
name implies it maintains the nat
ural space in th jaw so that when
the permanent successor erupts, it
can have plenty of room to come in
properly."
"Please make one for Carl," said
Mrs. Knight. "It will at least par
tially compensate for past neglect."
(To be Continued)
many friends who were greatly sor
rowed to learn of his sudden death.

Laughing Around the World
With iP vin
Spoken from the Heart Out
By IRVIN S. COBB
PROBABLY most of the readers of this department are very familiar
with this story, but it is so typical of negro wit and psychology that
I must review it here. A negro who worked as an extra at one of the
7fc3
77
larger motion picture studios was called upon to enter a camouflaged
lion's den. The scene was purporting to show an African Jungle and
the negro was supposed to be at the mercy of a ferocious lion.
Now this particular lion was what is termed a performing lion and
quite docile. However as the group of players and directors approached
the cage, the lion emitted a most terrifying series of roars.
The prospect of entering the cage in view of these blood curdling
sounds, did not greatly appeal to the undersized negro. He demurred
at it quite positively.
"What's the matter with you?" said the assistant director. "That
lion's not going to hurt you. That lion was brought up on milk."
"So wuz 1 lrung up on milk," said the unhappy darky, "but I eats
meat once in a while now."
