PRoPlTIATING THE WEATHER.

In Macedonia the Greeks organize great demonstrations in dry sum- mers. A procession of children vis- its all the local wells and springs, accompanied by a maiden covered with garlands and masses of flowers.
 This sounds as romantic as our queen of the May, and 1t could sur- prise no one If, like Tennyson's her. oine, she came to a sad end, for at each of the stopping places the poor dear is drenched with water while the children sing a rhyming prayer for rain.-Wide World Magazine.

thing must be done. First of all. the
public must be convinced that the OBJ
ject of such a movement is for the pub
lie welfare and not primarily and chief
~ the personal profit Of the dentists.
Instruction Needed.
Dentists In their daily practice see
the ignorance OF the masses In regard
to their teeth. The disastrous results
from a lack of knowledge on the sub
ject of oral hygiene are seen on every
hand. Suffering humanity needs more
thought upon the subject, and needs
it badly, because our future health and
happiness to a great extent depend
upon 1t. How can we best accomplish
dental education among the masses
of the people? Dentists cannot get at
the masses of children growing up
around us to teach them, and the par
ents as a rule are entirely irgnorant on
the subject. It would seem that this
must be taken up in our public schools.
But how to accomplish this is a ques-
ton. We are supposed to have medical
inspection in our schools, which is all
good as far as It goes,-it is a step
In the right direction. but it is not
broad enough, 1t does not take in the
teeth, at least the examiner ignores
that part of it; yet any physician knows
the great Importance that masication
plays in digestion.

Indoor Base Ball Tonight Dec 5 Coliseum Rink Indiana Harbo
SHOWS A
SAD NEGLECT Of TEETH

About 500 pupils in the schools Of
Ludlow. Mass, between the ages Of 8
and Is years, were recently examined
and the conditions of the teeth and
mouth found most deplorable. The most
striking feature observed was the neg
lect of dental cleanliness and absence
of any evidence of dental treatment be-
yond few instances in which teeth
had been extracted. Probably not more
than three out OF 100 possessed brushes
and showed signs of using them regu-
larly, and these three were practically
free from decay. Bacterial deposits, tar
tar. remains of food and every degree
of righteousness and poisoning were
evident Many children were suffering
from undue retention of temporary
teeth, but still more from the prema-
ture loss of them, showing the utter
neglect by the parents of the first set
teeth, which from a dentists stand
point is most important. The six-year
molar was invariably badly decayed.
Probably so per cent would have to be
treated or extracted. The six-year
molar is very confusing to parents and
children, as it comes before the tenn
porary teeth are shed and is there
fore taken for one of the first set and
neglected from ignorance. 1t is evil
dent from this inspection that some

WILL PUT UP
OFFICE BUILDING
E. w. Monthan Buys Acre
in Harbor and Will
Build in Spring.
Especial to THE TINES

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Dec. 15.-Yes-
terday E. w. Monthan closed q deal for
the purchase of an acre and a half
of land on Carey street, between 139th
and 140th, and facing on the back on
the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad The
price paid was in the neighborhood of
So, 900 an acre.
Mr.. Monthan also has an option on
the remaining two acres of the strip
He will do nothing with the land until
spring, when he expects to grade 1t and
erect an office building and sheds to
be used as coal yard.
Mr.. Monthan is already quite heavy
investor in Indiana Harbor real es-
tate and his recent purchase proves
that his faith in the future of the town
is in no way diminishing. He ex-
pressed some dissatisfaction yesterday
at the way some of his property has
been assessed for the Alder street sew
er. He claims that a large part of his
property, where the Lake County Lum-
Der company's yards are located, should
have been taxed as acreage land instead
of business property. which would have
made the assessment much less.
The Carey street property was pur-
chased from the East Chicago com
pany.

When Mr.. Melton asked the Gary
council last night for a RATHER to test

brand, they thought it might be cheap

Always remember that there is s5S
days difference in the time from Xmas
to New Years and from New Years
until Xmas.
An idea was suggested to Alderman
Feuer last night for his proposed skat-
ing rink. This was to melt all off the
snow on Broadway and then let It
freeze. This plan would not be feast
bic. however, because of the danger of
children drowning.
Councilman Castleman says he simply
cannot meet. Monday night Business

PAPKE TO SEE PARIS
Spring Valley Fighter Signs
to Fight in France.

Billy Papke has been matched to
meet the winner of the Willie Lewis
Harry Lewis match. which will take
place in Paris in January. Ed Papke.
Billy's brother and manager, wired last
night from Kewanee that articles had
been signed and that he would sail next
month with the "Thunderbolt' and
Trainer Jack Pollock. Papke's bout
will be staged in February.
Billy left Kewanee yesterday for Hot
Springs, Ark, where he will have his
arm treated. He expects to have - in
shape before New Years. He will train
aboard ship going over. Papke never
has fought abroad, and is joyous not
only oyer the prospect of the trip, but
also at the chance of showing Parisians
what 'thunderbolt" looks like The
bout will be put on by Victor Breyer's

state who will have their eye on the
senatorship. if the democrats have It to
give out For instance, there is Jo-
seph H. Shea, of Seymour, who practi-
cally managed the Shively campaign for
senator. There is large suspicion
that he will have the support of the
Sh1vely influences Then there is also
Samuel M. Ralston. 1t is believed that
he has his eye on the senatorship, and
that that is the reason why he is side
stepping the state Craftsmanship.
When the members Of the state COM
mittee and the rest of the party lead
ers came to town yesterday there was
an indication of harmony, but 1t was
severely shaken when the talk around
the Denison hotel became strong for
Foley for chairman. Taggart is bound
to support Stokes Jackson, the pres
ent chairman, if Jackson wants an
other term, because Taggart elected
him in the first place But 1t is ad-
mitted that Taggart would not cry If
Jackson should decline to run again, as
then Taggart would be free to support
Foley in the open. The attitude Of
Governor Marshall in the matter Is
puzzling some of the politicians, for it
was believed that he would stay out
of the craftsmanship fight. 1t is not
charged that he is actively working for
Foley. but 1t is known that Foley would
suit him all right as chairman.
Democratic District Conventions.
The democratic district conventions
for the election OF district chairmen
viii be held at the following places:
First district, Evansville; Second,
Linton: Third, New Albany; Fourth
North Vernon; Fifth, Terre Haute;
Sixth, Cambridge City; Seventh. Indian
apoils; Eighth, Muncie. Ninth, Frank
fort; Tenth, Hammond; Eleventh Hunt
ington; Twelfth, Fort Wayne; Thir-
teenth. Goshen. They will be held on
Jan. 5, with the exception of the Sew
enth district which will hold its con-
vention on Jan. 1.
1t became very apparent yesterday
that Tom Taggart is going to have
things about his own way again this
time in the formation of the state
committee and in the selection of a
chairman. If he comes out openly and
boldly and fights for Jackson, of course.
Jackson will win. But IL Taggart let's
1t be known that Foley would be sat-
isfactory to him or If he gets out and
works for him Foley will win. And
then look out for breakers for the de-
mocracy.

.aninations to Be Graded,
Too, Says Alley.

Applicants for teachers licenses in
Lake county next year will do well to
remember to use the best English at
their command, otherwise, they are
likely to have their grades cut down.
according to a new rule adopted by the
state board of education, which is now
being reported to the county super
intendts by Robert ]. Alley. state super
intendent The rule is a part of the
general movement on the part of the
board to raise the standard of English
In both the common and high schools
Of the state.
Under the former rules said Mr..
Alley, the general English of the man
uscripts received here as well as those
graded in the counties, has not figured
in the grade, but the board has decided
then that, though an APPLICANT is able
to answer correctly all the questions
submitted in English and in grammar,
and is not able to use good English
in making his answers, he should not
be entitled to a perfect grade on his
examination"
The new rule. adopted under a
unanimous resolution of the board, pro-
vides that in all examinations of Eng
lish and grammar, the English. of the
answers shall be graded. In the COM
mon school examinations, a basis of 10
per cent is to be made on the Eng
lish used. and basis of 80 per cent.
used on the correctness OF the answers.
In the high school lists. a basis of 25
per cent is to be used in grading the
English used and basis of rs used in
grading the answers.
