The Gorman. English. French anl foremoat American educators Insist that the dentist should have a medical education to which shall be added the special training In mechanics and sur gery, which shall be followed by ex tensive clinical practice In the col lege Infirmary under the direction and aupervlslon of experienced Instructors. The North Pacific College has recog nised the necessity for medical train ing, and the sphndld new laboratories are expected to furnish as good oppor tunities for scientific training and re search work as can bo obtained any where In America. The f ict that there are so many fa cial deformities, so that many of our people are not as gond-lnnklns; as they should br. Is .due largely to lack of understanding, on the part of parenu. of the baneful Influences of bacteria permitted to grow upon the teeth, caus ing toelr destruction, and in the nasal Imssnges and pharynx, resulting In the development of adenoids and other en Ltrircnncnts, obstructing the nasal pas tares and compelling mouth breathing. The preservation of natural beauty, the development of the face and Jaws as Intended by nature, depend largely upon preservation of the teeth of child hood and healthful, unobstructed air passages, ao there will be no Inter ference with noraial breathing througo the nose during the period of develop ment. To permit normal development of the Jaws It Is Imperative that the temporary toeth of the child shall be preserved In thotr natural positions un til their successors are developed and practically crowd them out. The per manent molars develop and grow Into position back of the last temporary mo lars, and In the lower Jaw In front ot the ascending or perpendicular portions of that bona These permanent teeth act as wedges to force and project the bony processes forward, carrying with them all their respective teeth. In case the temporary molars are prematurely lost, or their crowns de stroyed by decay, there will be cor responding contraction, the bony pro cesses are not carried forward, and deformity for life results. In the case of adenoids and other abnormal growths obstructing the air passages of the nose, the child Is com pelled to breathe through the mouth and sleep with the mouth open. Where thla condition Is permitted to continue for a considerable length of time the muscles drawing the lower Jaw down ward and backward at 'this tender age when the bone is not sufficiently ossi fied, cause warping and bending of the Jaw at the angle, resulting In receding chin and wrong positions of the teeth; while In the upper Jaw the de formity Is even greater. Open your mouth and place your finger upon your cheeks above the upper molar toeth and yon will observe the pressure of the powerful muscles In these localities upon the sides of the Jaw. In mouth breathing It It this lateral pressure that forces inward the bony processes containing the molar and bicuspid teeth, causing the central or palate por tion of the mouth to bow upward, en croaching still further upon the nasal passages; while the front or Incisor teeth project forward. The chief characteristics or deformi ties observed in the features of these victims of conditions resulting from too much unicellular vegetable life in the mouth, nose and throat, are hollow checks, protruding upper front teeth, small contracted lower Jaw, with re ceding chin and irregular teeth. In the dental profession several Im portant specialties are developing, among them Oral Surgery, which claims for Its special field all surgical work in connection with the mouth. Jaws, and associate parts; and Ortho dontia, which Inquires Into the causes of irregularities and deformities of the teeth and Jaws, and has for Its mis sion the prevention and correction of these defects.

If r t jt Blaacka alaa top this now phaaa of San Francisco amusement. The marriage of youns; Clarence Walker and Miss Caroline Blven. which was celebrated Monday, has caui much pleasure to the friends of the couple, and has also caused said friends to wonder how the wolf is to be kept from the door. The fact that Mrn. Althea Walker, mother of the jcroom. opposed the match, and did all la ber power to delay the marrlaire. la well known. Youns; Walker haa been dependent on his mother for sup port, lier opposition to ber son's mar rlaae was so great that she cut off his allowance In the hope that he would relent and remain a bachelor a little longer. Hut Walker was obdurate and In formed his mamma that while she mlicht hold the purse-strings, be has an aeroplane, which was aa (rood aa a bank account any day. and that with his trusty aerial ateed he could capture a sufficient number of the elusive dol lars to keep the larder supplied with necessities and a few luxuries. So the youns; couple were married at the residence of the brides parents. Mr a Walker's opposition to the match was. due entirely to the youth 01 her son. who Is only XI years of aire. The Walkers formerly lived In Salt Lake City, and the baviker'a widow was left a large fortune by her husband. Her eldest daughter married Roland Reed. a lawyer of Seattle. W ash. Eleanor Sears and Harold vanoer- bllt are reported to be engaged to be married, but the masculine young lady from Boston haa been reported be trothed so many times that her socl ety friends In tJan Francisco are skep tii-aL The report of her impending marriage to Mra O. H. P. Belmont's so.i recalls the last time Miss Sears was la San Francisco. She was In dustriously wooed by a certain weal thy club man and It was tuny expected that he would pop the question. The romsnce was watched with arreat In terest but at about the time that de velopments were expected. Miss Sears started on her famous walk to Del Monie. While she did not make the entire distance, ahe went far enough to dem onstrate her pedestrian ability and also to frighten off her wooer, for he left for the East immediately, remarking to friends that when he eventually married, he would marry a woman not an athlete who might prove too much for him. Humor next linked Miss Sears' name with mat of Graname-woite, ins Eng lish aviator, but he soon afterward left for bis own country and la now married. At one time Miss Sears was reported as enraged to "Tony" DrexeL but this likewise proved a false re port and her name was later connected with young Jay Gould, who married Miss Graham the other day.

The selection of an Immigration Com missioner for San Francisco to. succeed Hart North seems to be still undeter mined at Washington. D. C A recent report Is that the name of General Backus, ex-Postmaster of San Francis co, has been sent to the Department o Commerce and Labor. Recently a new candidate for the appointment has been reported, much to the surprise of some of the mem bers of the department. This is Harry Kdsell. formely a Portland newspaper man, chief deputy at Angel Island un der Acting Commissioner Luther Stew ard. Edsell was an active factor l the Investigation of the North admin istration and supposed to be friendly to the aspirations of Steward. Edsell comes from another state, as does Steward, and It Is known that Senator Perkins haa made a vigorous nrotest against the appointment of carpet-bagger. Of course, the two Cal Ifornla Senators and the Department o Commerce and Labor will come to an agreement, but recent Washington ad vices indicate that they are still far SDart.

Music made In Oregon will be played for the benefit of Portland era who patronise one of the focal show shops during the coming week. Arden Allen, first violin In the orchestra at the Orpheum. hav ing written a new and swinging march which he has named "The Orpheum." The composition will have the place of honor on the mu sical programme for that house during the week. Mr. Allen will be remembered as the man who dedicated a march to the Oregon Knights Templars, and which was the popular air at the encampment held In Portland a year ago. Mr. Allen haa been a resident of Portland for the past four years. While doing orchestral work he has found time to write the words and music for many songs, none of which have ever brought him any substantial monetary returns, however. He WTote "Howdy Do? How Are You?" and gave It to Miss Verna Felton, who made it a very popular piece of music, and who Is elnging it to day. After setting to music "She's My Post Card Girl," Allen sold the song to Miss Maud Rockwell, of the old Lyric Company, for 125. It would sell now for $500. One song was aold for the sum of 50 cents, and that time Allen thinks he got the best of the deal, 'because It was never popular. Mr. Allen Is now arranging for the publication of a set of waltzes which be will call "The Beautiful Willamette Waltzes." He Is also ar ranging with a movtng-plcture firm for the Illustration of a song story. The principal character is that of a little boy, mischievous and full of fun. The song tells of all the scrapes such a lad can get into In one day. the anxiety of hie mpther at the different hours, and how all is forgiven when the little fello'w reaches the hour for his even ing prayer.
