SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 11.-Dr. Rus
sell 81. Cool of Oakland was this afternoon
elected president of the California State
Dental Association in convention here.
Dr. r. II. Cool's election lacked only four
votes of being unanimous. DR.. L. Van
Orden Of San Francisco and DR.. @. l.. God
dard, also of San Francisco, were nomi-
mated, but their friendly advocates and
supporters soon saw that DR.. Coors elec-
ton was certainty, and gave way grace
fully. The election at this convention was
not of such an exciting character as that
of year ago at San Francisco, when the
present president-elect and DR.. Van Orden
were defeated by DR.. Irwin W. Hays Jr. of
Grass Valley.
The balance of the officers-eIect are:
First, second and third vice-presidents re-
spectively-E. F. Metcalf, Sacramento;
Walter F. Lewis, Oakland; L. Van Orden,
San Francisco. Recording secretary, W. q.
King, San Francisco; corresponding secre-
tary, F. G. Pague, San Francisco.
The retiring president, DR.. Hays, has
proven in every way satisfactory to the as
sociation. The rules have been closely OBJ
served, and DR.. Hays reputation for earn
estness in the advancement of dental
science and the progress of the State Asso-
citation have been practically demonstrated
during his term as president.
DR.. Cool comes into the Office with much
promise of active and useful work. Born
on this coast and experiencing the tutelage
of his father. DR.. George W. Cool,
phone er dentist, he has built for himself
name in the profession that easily places
him in the front ranks of the young
practitioners of California.
After drive of three hours this morn
ing, INDUCED in by large number of the
members, the clinics were begun at 8
o'clock, attracting the attendance of
mum Der of visitors, who evinced deal of
interest in the demonstrations.
DR.. A. N. Copsey of San Francisco
demonstrated the method for making q
gold bridge attached to jacket crown.
This was to show the combination of q
gold bridge attached to jacket crown
lateral without a conspicuous display of
gold, obtaining at the same time the
strength of the gold for mastication in
the bridge.
DR.. Copsey also gave clinic on swadg-
ing shell crowns and the mode of attach
ing the facing to the shell by means of
Hills stopping, holding it in place during
the first bake.
DR.. a. II. Mories of Alameda mounted a
shoulder-pin crown. The crown is a new
natural root and cannot be distinguished
from the natural tooth.
DR.. w. q. King of San Francisco demon
strated an original method of backing a
porcelain crown without investing; the
facing is first backed without investing
and then it is attached to the post without
investing. To invest and wait for it to set
would require an hour each time; thus
two hours are saved in the construction of
a crown.
DR.. A. M. Baker of San Jose demon
strated the backing of the tooth on any
porcelain tooth for bridge work. The
principal features of it are the saving of
material, an improvement in not exposing
the gold on the cutting edge of the tooth
and having at the same time a solid foun-
dation in the gold jacket and not depend
ing on the pins alone for strength and also
the saving of time, being able to make the
crown in ten minutes.
DR.. J. E. Cumming placed shell crown
on left superia Iatera with live pulp.
The reasons for placing such a crown
were that the tooth was irregular and had
two large, unsightly gold filings, and
that the placing of such crown would
store natural and artistic appearance
and would protect the whole crown with
out devitaIizing the nerve, still leaving
the tooth in such condition that any or
binary crown could be mounted later if
desired.
DR.. Clyde Payne Of San Francisco dis
tinguished himself by demonstrating his
anesthetic, proving to the members that
dental operations can be performed with
out pain. DR.. Payne's original and un-
tiring scientific investigation to make
dentistry painless for the benefit of the
profession and suffering humanity has ac-
complished results of inestimable value in
