large cotton and dye manufactur

T C U Poll Reveals
Agreement In Tastes
The likes and dilslikes of Texas
students reveal a striking simi
larity in tastes of literature, pol
itics and musk and a rather wide
divergence in preference of movies
end movie actors. This was shown
by the result of a poll conducted
by the student newspapers at T C
U and A and M for radio station
WSM in connection with its series
of umaafsity programs.
The poll showed that at both
T C U and 4k and M the student
bodies agreed: (1) “Anthony Ad
verse” was the best book of the
year; (2) students are favorable
to the new deal—(at T C U 99 per
cent voted “Yea”); (8) “Love In
Bloom” is the favorite tune; (4)
Franklin -0. Roosevelt is the fav
orite “New Dsaler”. w
On the other hand, T C U stu
dents and A and M undergraduates
disagree on movies. At A and M
“Viva Villa” was voted the out
standing movie of the year with
Wallace Beery the fhvorite male
star and Ginger Rogers the fhv
orite actress, f C U students sel
ected “Barrets of Wimpole Street”
as the year’s outstanding motion
picture and chose Nonna Shearer
and Frederic March as favorite
stars. *~
A and M students named S< S.
Van Dine their choice among puth-
ors, while the T C U group show
ed a decided preference for Kath
leen Norris.
More than 3,000 Texas under
graduates voted in the poll which
affords WSM continuity writers a
line on student interests and thus
helps them gauge various prog
rams for the 34 colleges included
on the '‘America's Tribute To Ed
ucation” seriea.

Tooth Paste Is Not Responsible for
Healthy Teeth; Diet Deciding Factor
By R. B. Storm.
Realising the
mount of pressure that has of late
years been put upon the public
by manufacturers m an effort to
stimulate buying, an attempt will
be made to inform our readers of
the facta in the case concerning
one item of advertising—tooth
paste. We are taking the date that
has just been compiled by the Ag
ricultural Expert meet Station on
the adequacy of the diet of Tex
as school children and are going
to show what correlation, U any,
exists between diet and dental de
cay. It must be stressed that tooth
decay ia not at all attributable to
any one cause, and no one remedy
has yet been found for dental de
cay.
There are several theories of
dental decay. Some authorities sug
gest that it is caused by the fer
mentation of food particles which
in turn forms organic acid. Ano
ther theory places the blame upon
a deficiency of the proper elements
needed for tooth building. Prob
ably the real cause lice in both
these and also in the racial char
acteristics of teeth.

Club will leave Thursday night for

to be held in San Antonio, Friday,

Among four thousand nine hun
dred and twenty-six school child
ren studied for this experiment,
three thousand seven hundred and
forty-two were white; eight hun
dred and ninety-five, negroee. and
two hundred and eighty-nine, Mex
icans. Sixty-eight per cent of the
white children had one or more
decayed teeth, fifty-eight per cent
of the Mexicans and forty-six per
cent of the negroes. One or two
decayed teeth were present in con
spicuously larger proportions ofthe
Mexuan and negro than of the
white children. The number of
white children who had three or
four decayed teeth was nearly as
large as those who had only one
or two. The greatest number of
decayed teeth for any one white
individual was twenty-one; for a
Mexican, twelve; for a negro, ten.
Although the Negro nee has a
smaller percentage of people arith
decayed teeth, those who do have
them have a larger percentage of
decayed six-year molars than any
other race. The molars of the neg
ro made up fifty-ona per cent of
all their decayed teeth, while they
made up but forty-seven for the
Mexican and forty one for the
white.
From these data it would appear
that white children have more de
cayed teeth, and they probably do;
but diet is not responsible for this
difference, since the whites ns n
rule have a diet more nearly cor
responding to the optimum diet
recommended by nutritionists for
growing children. In regard to the
diet, it may be interesting to know
that three times as many Mexican
children use coffee and tea as eith
er the white or negro children.
Coffee and tea tended to crowd
out milk from the diet of all rac
es, yet the Mexicans used more
milk than did the negroee. A de
ficiency of milk, vegetables, fruits,
and whole cereals was noted in nil
the diets, although there was n
sufficiency of protein-rich foods
other than milk and refined ee-
reals. _ y*
