BULLETINS TO BRING RELIEF TO DEFECTIVE CHILDREN. Raleig.h, Jan. 20. To see that the - school children of North Carolina shall be given treatment necessary to their proper physical development is the field of work at the bureau of medical inspection of schools of the State Board of Health has chosen for its future work. Dry Geo. M. Cooper is the director. In looking over the number-as well as the causes of defective children in the State, Dr. Cooper found that the most common cause was bal teeth and dirty mouths. The records of the examinations given school chil dren showed that at least 75 per cent, of all school children in the State had defective teeth. Less than 10 per cent of these had ever visited a dentist. . ' , On July 15, six dentists were em . ployed and these were put to work in six counties offering free dental treatment to the school children. Since that time 227 free dental dis pensaries have been held and 6,678 children have been treated.. In ad dition, imore than 10O lectures on oral hygiene have been given. The clinics were hdld in the counties of Robeson, , Forsyth, Wilson, Lenoir, Davidson, Caldwell, Nash, North ampton and Guilford. Pitt and Cum berland Counties are now establish ing free traveling dental clinics for school children. (Dy the United Press) HOUSE TAKES WALK. Paris, Jan. 20.

There is no more important work on the farm than that of keeping the orchard sprayed properly. According to Entomologist Franklin Sherman of the agricultural experiment station and extension service it is now time to prepare for thie work, and many of the leading orchardists of the State are writing In for information about 3praying their fruit trees. Many of the county agents have requested from 50 to 100 copies of Extension Circula 66 on Orchard Spraving, and similar requests have come from the large nurserymen and implement dealers who are anxious to serve their customers.

No child in school or Sunday echool is warned of the terrible consequences of drink, and since drinking is not a daring thing, but merely a common place, youths of the adventurous age take no interest in drinking. There are many bars in Buenos Aires, fash ionable and otherwise. Unlike in the North American emporiums nobody stand3 up and drinks, so tho "third rail" is an unknown term here. The Argentine people drink at tables. Drinking in a Buenos lAires bar is a relaxation, not a pastime or a profession. That is why the spike- helmeted, sword-wearing Buenos Aires policemen never have to pry bibulous gentlemen from lamp posts.
