...maggots for cleaning the root canal completely of dead pulp, ordinarily a difficult procedure. Too nice to experiment in a patient's mouth, Dentist Dreher got a freshly-pulled decayed1 front tooth-he reported last week in Dental Survey-and put a fat maggot to work on the decay. The maggot was too fat to get into the root canal...
...book, "The New Dentistry" Dr. L. M. S. Miner, Dean of the Harvard Dental School, describes tooth decay as the most ancient of all diseases. It has been found in the so-called Rhodesian man of 125,000 years ago. Dr. Minor points out that about 100,000,000 people in this country suffer from this disease, that $45,000,000 is spent for dental care a year, and that tooth diseases are steadily increasing. "The New Dentistry," published by the Harvard University Press is to be a popular and yet authoritative treatment of recent developments in dentistry...
...slow dripping of animadversions against Shepherd Hall has at last penetrated the granite reserve of the administration: it announced today that the Hall would be closed, beginning next year.

Last week it claimed assets exceeding liabilities by over $70,000,000. It entered a friendly receivership for technical reasons. Last autumn Studebaker attempted to acquire White Motor Co. (TIME, Sept. 26). When 95% of the White stockholders agreed, Studebaker borrowed...
Professor McCollum, 53, a big, sleepy-eyed, slow-talking savant, went to Manhattan last week to confirm an important discovery about decayed teeth. Dr. R. Gordon Agnew, pathologist, and Mrs. Agnew, nutritionist, had observed that the filthy-mouthed Chinese and Tibetans at West China Union University. Cheng-tu. Szechwan Province, where they teach, had sound teeth under crusts of tartar. The Agnews examined native foods, reasoned that phosphorus and sunlight were the essential preventives of tooth decay. They took leaves of absence from West China Union University to prove their theory on rats at the University of Toronto, their alma...
