In Nigeria the price of a wife is six times what it was before the war. In 1939, a Nigerian bachelor could buy a grade-A wife for the equivalent of 560. Now high-class wives are priced at $360. The single men of Nigeria view this situa tion with no little indignation. They have asked that the gov ernment establish a Wife Price Control Board. Incidentally, the price of a wife in Nigeria is not figured by the beauty of the bride but by the amount of edu cation she has, her physical strength and endurance and her ability as a cook. Beautiful wom en who are uneducated and in efficient as household workers can be purchased for one-fourth the price of an intelligent, cap able female. Beautiful Brooklyn Betty Smith's best seller, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," gave the world a very wrong impres sion of the beautiful borough across the bridge. There are, of course, trees in great abundance in Brooklyn. I was reminded of this by the following communi cation Just received: "I am a re cent Brooklynite. I love the place. We live in a frame and shingle house on a tree-lined street. We have a thirty-foot porch. We also have fifty rose bushes, one hundred strawberry plants, and a peach tree which gives us nearly four bushels of fruit annually. All this in the heart of Brooklyn." Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who do you say invented the wind shield wiper for automobiles? A. Inventor was Sicd Back, of Port land, Ore., an American of Chi nese descent. When he originated the windshield wiper Mr. Back was already a millionaire so he didn't patent it. He deemed it a contribution of his for highway safety. You don't have to be old to remember when there were no windshield wipers and motorists had to use a cloth to attain visi bility on rainy nights. Q. Accord ing to your Horses & Women ex perts, what type of girl will make the best wife for a red haired man? A. Best wife for a red-haired man is a red-haired woman. Only red-heads really understand each other. That's what our Horses fit Women ex perts say Still, my father was red-haired, my mother was a brunette. And they were happily married for over forty years. Spanish Lessons "On several occasions you have stated the name of LaJolla, California, Is pronounced 'Le Hoya,' " writes a New Yorker. "That is incorrect. The Spanish pronotinciatlon of La Jolla is 'Lah-Hohl-yah.' Futhcrmore, the name La Jolla does not mean 'the jewel,' as so many people be lieve. It moans 'the cowpath.' Trend Of Weather To Determine Crop Loss In Willamette Salem, Ore., Feb. 1 (U.R) The trend of the weather in the next two weeks may determine how much damage may' have been done to fruit trees and berry vines in the Willamette valley because of below zero weather, veteran growers pre dicted today. They said a sudden rise in temperatures might cause wide spread damage. But if the pre sent cold spell relinquishes gra dually, damage may not be so severe. Not Yet Known J. J. Gallagher of the Salem Nut Growers association con tacted members of the group who operate orchards. All were agreed that extent of the damage due to the cold would not be known for a week or two. Gallagher said: "It is impos sible to tell at the moment just how widespread and extensive the weather damage is to the walnut and filbert trees." Damage In 1919 The last time the temperature slipped below zero in this area back in December ot 1918 trees and berries were exten sively damaged in the low areas, with less damage in the higher areas. Growers don t look for any serious damage to hops in the valley because the vines are dry and the roots are covered with snow. Marion County Agent H. L. Riches said the long cold spell had kept many fruit trees dor mant. He said: "If the san was running in these trees, the unusually cold weather would kill them. But in many cases this is not true and the damage to such trees should be light." CONDUCTOR SIGNED Phoenix. Ariz., Feb. 1 (U.R) The Phoenix symphony orches tra has given the first two-season conductor's contract in its his tory to Robert Lawrence, former radio commentator for the Met tropolitan Opera association. According to the 1945 census of agriculture there were 138, 917 farms in California embrac ing 35.054,000 acres of land. Your Child's Teeth Following is th fourth In a series of question and answer articles submitted by the South ern Oregon Dental society, in ob servance ol National children s Dental Health day, Monday, Feb. 6. Why should permanent teeth bo examined soon after they erupt? So that any cavities may be filled before they can cause ser ious damage and to let the den tist determine whether the teeth are in proper position. , Is dental prophylaxis (cleaning by a dentist) helpful to dental health of the child? Yes. Dental prophylaxis helps prevent diseases of the gums by La Hoya means 'the jewel.' " Brooklyn Topped Uptown in Manhattan there is a garage where taxi skippers owning their own cabs can store them free of charge. All the owner asks in return is that the cabbies buy their gasoline from him and have him handle their repair jobs. He gives the taxi divers a discount of 2'2 cents on each gnllon of gas. So I was in formed by a driver who said he was from Brooklyn. He added: "Nothing like that in Brooklyn." So it would seem this is one of those rare instances in which the beautiful borough over the bridge is topped by Manhattan. State Income Tax Revenue For 1949 Totals $52,111,792 Salem, Ore., Feb. 1 U.R The state tax commission report ed today that income tax collec tions for the calendar year 1949 amounted to $52,111,792. Tax collections for 1948 total ed S59, 203.647. But the commis sion said that included S9.121, 799 in withholding taxes collect ed in advance on incomes for that year, so actually, the 1949 total was an increase of some $2,000,000 over 1948. Individuals paid 63 per cent of the total or $32,927,907. Cor porations paid taxes of $19,183. 385, a decrease of 1.5 per cent from the record high corpora tion excise tax collections of 1948. Decrease In Returns A total of 505,538 tax returns were filed last year, a decrease of 83,249 from the 1948 filings. The number of taxable returns filed in 1949 was only 389,811 compared with 520,342 in 1948. Ray Smith, tax commissioner in charge of the income tax divi sion, said the decrease is due to the new form of individual in come tax returns which permits married persons to file on a single form, and the increase in oersonal exemptions which elim inated several income earners in the lower brackets.

Removal of these deposits make it easier for the dentist to discover the presence of cavities and other faults. Does dental prophylaxis harm the teeth? No, there is no evidence that dental prophylaxis given at six month intervals does any dam age to the teeth. Do x-ray pictures of a child's teeth serve any useful purpose? They serve several very use ful purposes. They enable the dentist to find disease conditions which otherwise might escape de tection until serious and perhaps irreparable damage has been done. X-ray examinations also shows whether the permanent teeth are present in the child's mouth and reveals early signs of cavities, the presence of super numerary (extra) teeth and other abnormal conditions.

Does the sodium flourid treat ment keep a child completely free from tooth decay? No, the treatment is only a partial preventative. However, results of carefully controlled experiments have shown that sodium Flouride treatment has reduced tooth decay by as much as 40 per cent among large crowns of children.
