Stevens, of the division of oral hygiene of the North Carolina health department, have been examining, the school children of Macon county, and the value of the work they have done cannot be overestimated. To date these highly trained dental surgeons " have examined 1329 school children, treated 636, and referred to their local dentists 278 whose par ents were able to pay the cost of treatment. It is estimated that at least 85 per cent of the million children in the public schools of the state need dental treatment,- and that a dentst's office is unknown to 55 per cent of them..xThis is the con dition which the state health authorities have set out to correct, and it is planned to continue and intensify the campaign from year to year until the many organic troubles caused by bad ' teeth have been eliminated among the. children of North; Car olina., '.It lS 'a" spferidid Wbfk'arid : Mafcdn county is f of- -tunate in having these experienced and competent , dentists assigned to our schools. : , Causes of Radio Interference ' '"THERE has been much complaint in Franklin from radio owners about interference which frequently makes reception impossible, and much of the complaint is 'justified, but finding a remedy for the trouble is something else again. This matter of interference is not peculiar to Franklin, but prevails everywhere where .electrical applicances are used. There are many causes for the trouble, so many that finding the particular reason for interference in any one section is a difficult matter. ' Refrigerator motors not' properly grounded or with dirty brushes; dental machinery, electrical barber shop and drug store equipment, coffee. and 'meat grinders, old light bulbs," neon signs, electric razors any of these may interrupt radio com munication. In fact, any electrical unit that makes, or breaks a circuit will interfere unless properly in stalled and looked after. Proper, grounding and the use of condensers and . chokes will eliminate most of the trouble with consumer equipment. . Power companies are usually willing to cooper ate fully in the removal of radio interference, but it is extremely difficult for them to locate unless consumer equipment is in good order. Power com pany interference may come from leaky transform ers, bad connections in wiring, and many other things connected with f he generation and transmis sion of power, and these defects are corrected wherever found, but it is estimated that at least 75 per cent of radio trouble comes from appliances operated by consumers. That electric motors can be installed and operated without causing radio interference is illustrated in the plant of this paper where we frequently have half a dozen motors running at . the same time. The tiniest, weakest radio can be placed near the running motors and will give perfect reception. Small motors, of course, or more difficult to handle, but' there are appliances for even such small mnrtiinpc a? plpctrir M7nrc wrhirh will Ar o,r,r U til v-ai,avv -f . w i y t 411 AVJ IX VV tX J W li.ll interference: and if all consumer electrical equip ment could.be checked and put in proper condition there would probably be little cause for complaint. nub - Number 39 Johnson ,i t ........ . .Publishers .....Managing Editor ...Business Manager $1.50 .75 $1.00 .05 School GEORGE..
