STATE ASSOCIATION MEETING
DIR. HARRY C. KAHLO CALLS 1T TO
ORDER AT DENISON HOTEL.
Dentists from All Over Indiana Listen
to Able Papers and Discuss
Dental Laws.

A sensation likely will be sprung to-day
in the Indiana State Dental Association
when B. B. White, of Terre Haute, chair
man of the ethical committee, makes his
annual report. The association is holding
its forty-hfth annual meeting at the Den
ison Hotel
The association will be asked, 1t was
stated yesterday afternoon by an official
of the organization, by the ethical commit
tee to expel two prominent members who
are charged with violation of the associs i.
tions rules of practice. The names of the
two members have not been made public
and the specific charges against them have
not been given out, but it is said they are
in very bad standing and probably will be
expelled.
This is the first time in recent years that
the Indiana State Dental Association will
have been called upon to expel a member
for violation Of its rules of practice. Per-
haps the most notable case of this kind
in Indiana was that of an Indianapolis dem
tist who was expelled from the association
several years ago. Later he was reinstat
ed in the organization. The ethical COM
mittee did not make its report yesterdav v
morning with the reports of the other COM
mittees, but asked to be given the privi-
lege of waiting until to-day to do so. The
privilege was granted.
The first session of the associa tion's
forty-ffth annual meeting was called to
order yesterday morning by DR.. Harry G.
kahlo of Indianapolis, president of the aS
sociation. The session was taken up large
ly with the reports of committees About
125 members were in attendance and thirty
plcations for membership will be acted
upon to-day.
BETTER DENTAL LAW.

DR.. j. q. Byram, of indianapolis. Chairman n
of the Legislative committee. He reviewed
the work of the last Legislature in con-
nection with the dental laws and snoke
specially Of the passage of the Van Fleet
amendment TO the existing laws which WAS
passed. This change in the laws has
brought dentistry up to higher standard
in Indiana, Mr.. Bryant said, by reouirins
college graduates of dental schools to take
the State examination the same as the an
plicant for license who has no diploma
This change will necessarily result q, j.
higher standard of work being done bv the
dental schools of Indiana, he said and nil,
thereby elevate the profession i'm this State
