Veteran Army Flier
Tells Of Conditions
Found In Stratosphere
Phoenix, Ariz. (JF) Captain John A. Macready, former
United States army flier of note, four times holder of the
world altitude record, expressed puzzlement Tuesday over the
widespread excitement aroused by
the Invasion of the stratosphere by
the German scientists, Auguste Pic-
card and Charles Kipfer, in a free
balloon.
The former army pilot looked
upon the latest experiment in the
upper strata largely as bolstering
predictions that high speed air
plane flights above the earth's
denser air blanket soon will be
practicable.
I did a good deal or experiment

BULLETIN TELLS
ABOUT CLUB FEET
Many children with club feet
could have been cured a few days
after birth u given Immediate at
tention, the headquarters of the
Pdk-Yamhill-Marion Medical soci
ety and the Marlon-Polk-Yamhill
Dental society declares In a bulletin.
For several months, officials of the
medical society hav been gather
ing complete Information regarding
deformities of children's feet and
discovery had been made that many
of these could have been cured at
birth.
The Infant's foot. If there Is no
deformity present, requires merely
bathing and the application of a
dusting powder," declares the bul
letin. "If there Is a club foot, par
ents should not wait until the child
Is a year old but should have treat
ment started Immediately, even the
first day of life.
"It Is Important that the baby's
stockings and shoes fit properly.
Fat babies should not be encour
aged to stand too early for fear of
causing bow legs or knock knees.
Stiff ankle shoes, that Is, reinforced
with moulded leather, are of value
In some cases of weak. feet. Many
parents with a laudable desire to
keep white stocking clean have
them washed frequently and al
though the stockings are dried over
forms,' they often shrink and are
a source of foot compression.
In adolescence, the foot is grow
ing rapidly and, as It is usually long
and narrow, requires special atten
tion in fitting shoes.
"A common complaint among the
aged is poor circulation of blood In
the lower extreme tics. If those past
middle rife will spend an hour, each
morning and afternoon, with their
feet elevated on a chair or stool,
they will be aided.
Persons recovering from an In-,
fectious disease, such as tonsillitis,
Influenza or scarlet fever, are apt
to go about the house In bedroom
slippers. This Is an extremely bad
practice for at this time the sup
porting structures of the foot are
relaxed owing to the toxemia of
the Infection."
sphere," he said, "and collaborated
wlh scientists. I hav made 10
flight of more than 35,000 feet and
50 at more than 30,000 feet. At 35,
000 feet I have encountered 80 de
grees below zero Fahrenheit in tem
perature, and hare found It grow
ing warmer 3,000 feet higher. So
far as the stratosphere Itself is con
cerned, I see nothing to warrant
excitement.
"A filer up there has to combat
cora, lack or oxygene and lack oi
pressure. The air Is so thin at
35,000 feet that a plane capable of
185 miles an hour, with a super
charger, should be able to travel
twice that speed, and with a 100
mile an hour wind from the weat
could travel from 8an Francisco to
New York In less than six hours.
The usual 100 mile an hour wind is
due, scientists say, to the rotation
of the earth, and with Its advant
age on west-east travel, we could
make easily an average of from 300
to more than 400 miles an hour.
"In eight years of secret work for
the army I alone made 50 to 60
stratosphere flights. The reason
for the government going Inten
sively Into this Is that In combat
the man on top nearly always wins.
"At more than 36,000 feet I found
a very bright sun, a very, very clear
and much lighter sky. Scientists
told me to look for stars, but I
found none."
The problem faced in developing
commercial airplane flights In the
stratosphere Is one of overcoming
lack of oxygen and of furnishing
sufficient pressure to give the en
gine enough air to work full power,
Macready said.
"You take a motor of 410 horse
power, the old Liberty," he said, "it
has only 87 horsepower at 35,000
feet, and it will not operate at all
at 35,000 feet unless a supercharger
sends sufficient air Into the cylin
ders to develop Its power.
"When we overcome the bad fea
tures of lack of oxygen and lack
of pressure, we will be sailing from
coast to coast in the stratosphere
at speeds now unattainable."

HAIL OF FAME
PLACES STATUE
OF JEFF DAVIS
Washington P) The statue of
the only president of the confeder
ate states Jefferson Davis was ac
cepted by the federal government
Tuesday from his home state of Mis
sissippi.
The bronze figure of the states
man was placed in statuary hall
along with that of J. Z. George, an.
other soldier and senator hero of
that southern state, near the statues
of the noted of ether stated.
Davis languished In prison at
Fortress Monroe for two years on a
charge of treason after his capture
by the federal forces while fleeing
from the confederate capital at
Richmond. He was never pardoned
having said "repentance must needs
precede pardon.
A hero of the war with Mexico,
senator from his state and secretary
of war of the United States, Davis
long has been the choice of his state
for the national hall of fame In the
capitol. Each state la permitted to
place statues of two of its great
in the space that once was the
house chamber.
ASPHALT PRICES
FAIL TO DROP
With a rush of asphalt salesmen
now being staged on the county
court and county road officials,
Roadmaster Frank Johnson de
clared Tuesday that asphalt prices
have not changed a dime since road
building started In the county and
that a price of $12 a barrel at the
refinery Is still prevailing In bids
so far submitted
"I am not making any rash as
sertions but it looks as though
some heads coudn't be very far
apart when all these asphalt bids
come In the same," said the road
master. "And It looks as though the
price should come down somewhere
sometime when prices of other
commodities are on the toboggan.
We have been forced to pay this
$12 price for a number of years
and onto that Is tagged the freight
charge from the refinery, wherev
er it may be. Just how It happens
that the price not only remains the
same year after year but that all
the bids come In identical may
have a reason behind it but it
looks as though somebody may
have been looking Into somebody
else's mall os some such thing at
least It looks like that to a man
from the outside looking in."
Johnson states that prices have
been asked from all the asphalt
men and so far only some of them
have bid. It is possible there may
be a variation somewhere by the
time the prices are an in. The
county plans to pave this year
probably about the same amount of
road as last year when about 12
or 18 miles were paved.

First Permanent Molar
Important Factor In
Child's Health, Claim
The first Dermanent tooth to make its appearance in the
mouth, according to a recent statement by the U. S. Public
Health Service, is the six year molar. This tooth comes thru
the gums lust back of the last tern-
porary tooth, one on each side of " Position of all the other perm
ik. u.. .k. k.i u n.nnliv.aaent teeth that are to come later.
the Jaw, above and below. It usually
makes Its appearance at about tne
sixth year and as it displaces no
temporary tooth It Is often mista
ken for a temporary tooth and many
times allowed to decay because of
the belief that it will soon be re
moved anyway.
This permanent tooth was partly
formed even before the child was
born. Every single factor which had
any Influence on the health or nu
trition of this child during the first
four or five years of his life Is re
flected in the development of this
tooth. The diet of the mother be
fore the child was bom her diet
during the nursing period, the
child's health and ability to assim
ilate his food during early child
hood, all have an Important bear
ing on tile quality and formation of
this tooth. Teeth are made of lime.
phosphorus and magnesium, as are
the bones of the child and if these
were not supplied in proper quan
tity It will be reflected In the de
velopment of the child as well as in
his temporary and permanent teeth.
The child's diet and his ability to
properly assimilate food will deter
mine to a very great extent whether
the enamel which should entirely
cover the tooth, will be hard and
properly formed or of a soft char
acter more easily broken, and sub
ject to decay.
Any sickness of childhood during
tnese early years before this per
manent tooth has erupted is usual
ly the cause of some Imperfection in
the enamel. Measles, scarlet fever,
dlphtehria, smallpox, chlckenpox, In
fact nearly any of the so-called
children's diseases, leave their Im
print upon this six year molar and
many times disfigure it to such an
extent that It Is extremely difficult
to keep It free from decay. If the
mouth and teeth, the throat and
nasal cavities are kept In a healthy
condition, many of these so-called
cnudrens diseases may be escaped.
Nearly all contagious diseases find
their entrance into the body through
the nose and mouth, but if these are
kept clean and healthy, the disease
organisms will not find lodgment.
The six year molar Is considerab
ly larger than any of the temporary
teeth. In fact the crown of this
tooth Is full size. It will never grow
larger and It looks lust little out
of place In the child's mouth be
side the smaller temporary teeth.
The roots of this tooth will cot be
completely developed for two years
after the crown has appeared, and
It will continue to grow after the
crown Is In place.
The lower six-year molars have
two roots but the upper molars have
three and they are set firm and
tight In both jaws as nature In
tends that they should last all the
rest of your life. This tooth governs
It is many times called the keystone
of the dental arch.
When it is realized that a tooth
is the-only part of the body which
cannot repair itself the importaiue
of preserving the teeth is emphasis
ed. If the skin Is cut or tne bones
broken, nature will take care of that
injury, if the wounds are kept clean
and the body Is healthy. But the
teeth will not repair themselves. In
fact, if they become broken or dis
eased with decay, this disease will
continue rapidly until the teeth are
lost and no other teeth win ever
come to replace these lost perma
nent teeth.
If none of the temporary molars
have been lost before the six year
molars appear this tooth Is fairly
certain to come through the gum
in its proper position. However, if
some of the temporary meHrs are
lost before this happens, perhaps
this molar will erupt too far for
ward as nature seems to try to move
all the teeth forward, It is going to
seriously crowd the positions of all
the teeth that are to come In front
of it. Some of them may come in
twisted sideways or overlap the teeth
next to them and the mouth will
have a one-sided, crooked appear
ance. This may not seem of im
portance, but it seriously handicaps
the whole balance or occlusion of
the mouth, and although the teeth
of the lower and upper jaws may
meet when the mouth Is closed, It
has caused what dentists call Dial
occlusion, because the teeth do not
fit properly one against the other.
In later years this may help to
cause serious diseases of the soft
tissue of the mouth because, due to
the irregularities of the teeth, they
cannot easily be kept clean, or be
cause certain teeth strike togcher
with force applied in the wrong di
rection.
April Saw Big Gain
In Building Roads
Road construction contracts rose
sharply In April, according to fed

There were approximately 194,000
men at work on roads In 40 slates.
The 40 states let contracts for L-
296 miles of roads at (96,879,468 last
montn, at least double the amount
for April 1930.

OREGON CITIES
RANKED HIGH IN
HEALTH TESTS
Oregon cities rank high In the
inter-chamber health conservation
contest of 1930. Citizens of Oregon
can point with pride to the exeel-
hent health records made; by the
leading cities. In group II cities with
a population of more than 100,000 to
580,000 Portland ranked eleventh.
In group V cities with a population
of 20,000 to 50.000, Salem ranked
second among 31 contestants. In
group VI, cities with a population
under 20.000, Medford ranked 14 th
among 45 contesting cities, says a
bulletin published by the state board
of health.
Tlie object of the competition was
to assist in reducing economic losses
in the United States due to unneces
sary Illness and preventable deaths
by means of activities carried on by
local chambers of commerce or sim
ilar organizations in co-operation
with the official public health agen
cies. The contest was further de
signed to give recognition and credit
to the work of local committees as
well as the public health officials.
The field of conflict was open from
January I, 1930 to December 31,
1930.
Authoritative figures treating o!
the economics of public health show
that one out of every four families
in tills country has at least one ser
ious illness in the course of a year
and that two per cent of the total
population Is at all times too ill for
work.
A comparison of these figures
with the total annual income in the
United States shows that this Is a
direct monetary loss of at least
$2,000,000,000 per year from sick
ness. When distributed evenly among
tne twenty-6even million families of
the country it is then apparent that
the average family spends the equiv
alent of $80 per year through loss
of wages, salaries, cost of medical
care, etc. Moreover in addition to
this economic waste it Is also esti
mated that the total capital In lives
lost prematurely Is around $6,000,
000,000 annually. Aside from the
humanitarian aspect the enormous
burden weighs heavily on commun
ities and Individuals. However, the
fact that human assets can be pre
served is recognized by the medical
and health authorities of the nation.
Much of the tremendous economic
losses resulting from Injuries, sick
ness and death are preventable, and
uie major neea toaay is to distribute
to the publio at large a knowledira
of the benefits to be secured through
a promotion of public education.
in order to conserve life and
health to the fullest extent there
should be further development of
national Interest and of national
activity. This Is the policy of the
uiter-cnamber health conservation
contest.
