Decay of Teeth
Effects of Fluorine In Water Checked
By JANE STAFFORD Scignos Service Stall Writer WASHINGTON, Jan, 21.-Drink-ing water may contain substances that make teeth more vulnerable to decay. : Evidence of this was discovered by Dr. Henry Klein, U, 8. public health service dental researcher, in examinations of the teeth of more than 3000 New Jersey school children, These were made with the cooperation of Dr. J. M. Wisan, New Jersey health department's dental chief, and Dr. John F, Cody of the U. 8. public’ health service. The children lived in five communities: of southern New Jersey. In three of these communities water contained enough fluorine to favor resistance to tooth decay. In the other two, the water was considered fluorine-free.
3000 Children Tested
Of the 3000 children, 1307 had been born outside the five communities and moved into them at various ages, Of those moving into the fluorine communities, the younger the child was at the time he arrived there and the longer he, lived there, the less his teeth were! attacked by decay. This showed the now generally recognized effect of fluorine in drinking water in favoring resist-
By contrast, among the children moving into the fluorine-free areas, the most recent arrivals had the best teeth. Those who had lived in the area the longest had the worst teeth so far as decay was concerned, $
Excess Iron Found

1.5 Poplin Up Despite War Dead
Birth Rate Reaches All-Time High
‘ By Science Service NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Approximately 1,900,000 more men and | women, boys and girls are living in the United States today than a year ago. : The natural increase of our population, the excess of births over deaths, reached an all-time high in 1946. The rate of population increase for last year was close to 1.4 {per cent, or practically double the {annual average of 0.7 per cent for the pre-war decade. This brings the population of the country to about 142,250,000, More than 3,350000 babies were born in the United States in 1946. This exceeds by more than 200,000 the previous peak record for 1943 and is 450,000 more than the births in 1945, statisticians of the Metropoiitan Life Insurance .Co. pointed out.
Infant Mortality Declines
Estimates show . that about 24 babies were born last year for each 1000 men and women in this country. The entire increase in the birth rate in 1946 occurred in the last { half of the year, reflecting the sharp lincrease in the marriage rate following V-J day in 1945. |" Infant mortality, on the other hand, continued to decline in 1946 {to a new all-time low of about 37
