' ' , MANY HUN BOATS DESTROYED Dirigibles Locate Enemy, Call Destroyers and Drop Bombs; Americans Are Effective. AMERICAN TRENCH IS FIERCELY BOMBARDED BYI ENEMY. By Floyd MacGriff London, July . (I. N. S.) The eyes of the fleet Urplanea, seaplanes and J kite balloons are giving: most effective Hia to me American naval contingent In Kuropean.- -waters. . , On clear days the best time suited for U-boat hunting American aviators, clean upstanding chaps who face every . peril with zest and Joy of adventure, , take to the air. With a load of bombs ! little mementoes for the U-boats machine gun ammunition for any air foes that might show up and a wireless apparatus or carrier pigeons for com munication, the aviators leave their bases In search of the sea) devils. With a good sun, U-boats can -be ' spotted even though submerged to a ' great depth. If destroyers are near by, - they are signaled. If not, the sub marines are treated to a liberal dose of American bombs. ! Dirigibles Aid in Chase Two dirigibles like those turned out I by an American rubber concern recent i ly helped the British and American de stroyers effectively attack a German submarine, according to records at United States naval headquarters In ' London. At daybreak one of the dirigibles sighted the conning tower of a U-boat In the Irish sea. Three destroyers two .American and one, British rushed to the spot and J dropped depth charges. A great quantity of oil rose to the ' surface and it -continued until It ': streaked the sea" for a mile. The patrol. Including a second diri gible, which had come up, followed the i on muck, dropping more depth bombs. 1 Suddenly there was an upheaval of I water. A dirigible swooped down where. I the bubbles were thickest. More depth It bombs -were launched, followed by the rising of more oil and debris to the surface. i Subs Shell Small Boat ! This Is not an 'Isolated case. The ; patrol' work goes on day after day and night after night. For Instance, another ! "patrol sighted a U-boat at daybreak shelling a small sailing vessel one of I the typical small sailers that buffet the waves of the water around the British . Isles as unconcerned about German sub marines as the billows themselves. Unarmed and dependent upon the (wind for eluding submarines, these ' small sailing ships engage as packets , or fishing boats. j German submarine commanders take "great delight In sinking them by shell fire. , As the patrolling balloons neared I the Bhlp under attack, fhe German suddenly . ceased shelling and submerged. Aided by the balloon, an armed ship maneu vered until It had crossed the track of . the U-boat, where it dropped a bomb. Again large quantities of oil rose to the surface. Many U-Boats Sunt On another occasion a British airship .sighted a U-boat attacking a merchant man. The airmen managed to reach the , spot Just as the submarine was - eub merging. A bomb which struck about three feet to the rear of the U-boat's IS,.' mf! - V r 1 I IF: CHILDREN COULD GNAWJERKEDVENlSOrf IT WOULDMffl Jaw-Bone Development Neces'sary to Produce Shapely Teeth, Dentist Explains.

Veering about quickly, the seaplane dropped another bomb in the center of the churned water, More oil came to the surface and the dis turbance In the water continued for a long time. This shows the effective work being done by American aviators. British Columbia; Engineers on Strike Vancouver, B. C, July 8. (I. N.

"People nowadays are too civilised to allow their young - children to gnaw hunks of Jerked venison, but it would be good for them." commented Dr. Wll 11am Cavanaugh at yesterday's session of the Oregon State .Dental -association. Dr. Cavanaugh took the position that troubles with- teeth begin long before the teeth appear and step should .be 'taken in infancy to secure the proper jawbone development that will produce shapely and healthy teeth. He said adenoids are the most usual cause of bad teeth, because of the ir regularity of jawbone structure tne irr duce. chiefly because the child has to breathe through his' mouth and thus re tard development of the lower jaw. He advanced the theory that children of tender years do not get enough fats In their diet, the result being that the second or permanent teeth are not prop erly nourished before the "deciduous teeth fall out. Dr. Cavanaugh deplored the extrac tion of "tushes." saying Irregularity can and should be remedied by other means Between 4 and 7V4 years is the best time of regulation for even and natural arch growth, he said. Dr. Cavanaugh's lecture was discussed by Dr. W. A. Cumming, Dr. P. T. Meany nr. u. v. Littler of Albany, Dr. J. M Miller of Eugene. Dr. W. H. Hanford of Corvallis, Dr. C. F. Lauderdale, Dr U.
