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.

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.

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

with young Jay Gould, who married
Miss Graham the other day.

ARDEY ALLEN.
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
