NOVEL TOOTH CENSUS
City Fearing Toothless Future Will Spend $1.000,000 year on
 Juvenile Dental Repairs.

New York, Aug. 11.-A mill lion dollar dentist bili IS the lat est financial problem to confront this city, and it is likely that by heginuing next fall New York will invest this amount annually ia teeth, in an effort to guard against a toothless population. The Bureau of Municipal Re- search has just made pubic the result of its investigation of the teeth of the school children in this city, revealing shocking condition which leaves the city only the choice of an enormous expenditure for dental work on juvenile masticators or the early certainty of a practically tooth less race. According to fhe hg- ures collected, out of the first 500 children examined only l4 had sound teeth. In other words more than " per cent or the chil- dren were in need of dental treat ment which they could not afford.
 It is as a result of these revala- tions that Father Kuickerbocker is preparing to foot gigantic dentist bill for school children in an effort to prevent the coming of a toothless age.

WHY NOT GET AN
 ELECTRIC RAILWAY?
Movements Are on Foot to Utilize the Power of the 0uachita River That, if Carried Out, Should
 Make It Easy.

Special to The Star.
 The Garland Power and De. velopment Company is asking the state tor a charter to use the Ouachita and other mountain streams iu Western Arkansas for power plants. Henry Dalhoff and Pat Harmon, railroad con- tractors and builders of Little Rock, and Simon Cooper of Hot Springs are among the leading promoters.
 Now l believe that an electric railroad between Mena and Hot Springs is not only feasible, but real possibility. Why not get together and undertake to have the company build an electric line to Mena via Bethesda Springs, give them a street car franchise in Mena, and perhaps lighting franchise ]? This is an important matter, and one ou which our citizens cannot act too soon.

'T went to fashionable wedding tna other day" remarked man who mas little time for such things, "and was decidedly impressed by the character of the music that was played while inc assembled guests were waiting for the wedding party to arrive.

It marks the entrance of the heroine of the piece, who is com ing on the scene to take part in a wedding of complaisance with the hero. who is generally regarded as one nf the greatest blackguards the world of opera knows.

SAVE TRAMP THE DELIcACY.
Wsyfarer Had Asked for Starter for Breakfast, and What Could
 Housewife Do?

It was Sunday morning and the Wayfarer was hungry. He walked slowly down the street, scrutinizing such houses as might give promise of breakfast. or. at least, a starter on one. Finally he selected one that showed signs of life on the interior. He sauntered slowly toward the back ioor and knocked A woman answered ihe rap.
 Good morning, lady" he said, with a smile. at the same time hoisting his travel-worr hat, T just dropped into see if you would give fellow little starter on a breakfast. Not a whole breakfast, pray of you. Only start CT and then I will go on to another aeighbor. thus not exacting too great sacrifice from your Sabbath menu"
 The woman of the house stood stupefied. She had never heard such speech from a tramp before.
 "Well-well. well, what could give you?' she finally sputtered.
 He spied two halves of grapefruit on the table. They had been sweet eped the night before and the sugar gave them highly luscious tone. Lit tie patches of unabsorbed sugar still rested on the crests. The wayfarer looked at them longingly.
 T only ask for starter on a break last, madam" he said. quietly. "Only a starter. I will go on for the rest"
 But hardly know what"
 Yes, 1t is hard to solve," he inter rupted. But, don't you know. I am abnormally foolish about grapefruit"
 And what else was there for her to do but to give that which stood as a visible supply.

BIRDS DO THEIR WORK WELL
Homlng Pigeons Employed to Carry Packages and Letters Between
 Australian Lighthouses.

Pretty pigeons of Australia carry packages and messages between Ho- bart and Maatsuyker Island light house, a distance of about seventy five miles. Last November they called a physician for a lighthouse attendant and probably saved his lie. Three birds are liberated with messages every three weeks. and when accident or illness occurs three additional birds are set free. Twelve birds in all are used for the service. While mes sages have not always reached their destination, the service has neverthe- less been highly satisfactory. The messages are written on a piece of paper tied under the birds wing; but the marine board has fin view some celluloid cases which may be adjusted under the birds wing and in which a good deal of information might be carried.
 The birds are fed on gray peas Of good quality, get plenty of grit and fresh water and are kept thoroughly clean. They are also allowed at their station plenty of opportunity for need full exercise. That Maatsuyker Island lighthouse, which has most isolated position. could secure physician from Hobart sixteen hours after he had been sent for by pigeon post has suggested important possibilities for more general use of homing pigeons for such service. Trophies are to be provided for homing competitions, SO as to encourage owners to breed the best descriptions of carriers. There are about 10000 of these birds in Aus tralia.

Ex-cov. PARDEE OF CALIFORNIA sTiRs THE NATIONAL CON
 cREss AT SPOKANE.
FOR THE ROOSEVELT POLICIES
Secretary eallInger Criticised After His Address-chsrge Was Made That He Was undoinq the Work of Roosevelt.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 1S.-The Ball inger-Pinchot battle royal has burst upon the National Irrigation congress.
 The man, who in the language of an enthusiastic Californian. ripped things wide open" was Dr. George 0. Pardee. former governor of California.
 pr. Pardee attacked Richard A. Ballinger. secretary of the interior. with fierceness only seconded by that of former Senator George Turner, of Washington, who took up the cudgel in defense of the secretary.
 MT. Ballinger entered the auditorium surrounded by reception committee and when he arose to speak he was cheered for several minutes. The sec retary, after few introductory re- marks, read from paper his ideas on reclamation and the public domain. One point he made plain and that was that his idea of what has been done by the secretary of the interior was under the law.
 Mir. Balllnger then sat down. nor would he be disturbed by questions. There Is a little note following each nomination on the published program inviting the delegates to ask questions and enter a discussion with the speak CTS. MT. Ballinger was not aware of this. Up rose Judge John Fairweather of California with question. The secretary answered 1t and then left the platform.
 The next speaker was A. c. Camp bell, who discussed the local aspects of the property rights in irrigation.
 Former Gov. Pardee then took the platform to deliver the address under the subject assigned him. But he had no use for his manuscript He opened by saying that he was for Roosevelt and the Roosevelt policies.
 Roosevelt wss president who did things first,' said he, "and talked about them afterward. And that is the kind of men we would like to see In public office now"
 Dr. Pardee told of the activities of former Secretary Garfield. who, under the instructions of President Roose- welt, withdrew from public entry many tracts of land under the belief that these lands should be held for the people. Now. he said Secretary Ball lnger has again put up for entry these lands and each tract has In it's bound aries water power site.
 The thing to do, said Dr. Pardee, Is 10 withdraw the water power sites as did Roosevelt and hold them for the people.
 When" pleaded the speaker, "are we ever going 10 have i chance for the common hard-working citizen? Secre- tary Ballinger has said irrigation is not 8 proposition for a poor man ! take issue with him and say It is par ticularly poor mans proposition and If there is any one trying to make it not so, let's find out about It."
 Mir. Turner gained the floor and re piled.
 'I think" said he, that the remarks of Gov Pardee at time following the secretary of the interior are in bad taste. Mir. Balinger has done In his official capacity only what any man would do under the oath of office-he has obeyed the law No man has the right to act and read the law after ward"

WEALTH IN STUMPS
 OF PINE BARRENS
Newly Fouud Process Produces Tur- pentine and Other Liquids Worth $2s From Every
 Load of Refuse.


 hsboygan, Mich, Aug. 1O.- Tuning pine barr,ns into gold is science. An infant industry of few years ago has developed iu- to a great mag icai conversion oi useless pine stumps into costl, chemicals. Cheboygan soon IS to feel the effect of ,hls new occu patton.
 There are 3,000,C00 acres oi pine stump land Tn Michigan. These vast lands are now worth less, monument 10 the wasteful- ues, of an obsolete industry But each of these 100000 acres will average fifteen cords of slumps to the acre And each cord will give. through newly found chemical process, liquids to the value of $25.75. Such, at least, is maintained by the formers of a mammoth turpentine company to build a factory here.
 Industry Growing.
 There are four turpenline stump plants in Michigan. They are located at Cadillac, Herbert Grayllng and Nolan. But all are small plants, most ot them of a thirty-six cord weekly capacity. The syndicate being formed, which will build plant here, will work on a plan larger than any hitherto attempted in the North. A 2SS-cord burner will be installed, tight times larger than any in the state. There are 50,000 acres of land about Che boygan which the syndicate claim to have contracted for. The capacity of their plant will be 400 acres a year, so slowly and care fully are the precious liquids drawn from the hitherto consid- cred less than worthless stumps. IL is through what is termed the destructive distillation pre- cess" that this economic move is made possible. The stumps are subjected to dry heat, the liquids drawn out until nothing but pure charcoal remains. From each thirty-six cords of stumps is drawn 2,500 gallons of commer- cial value liquid; $40 gallons Of turpentiue, 1902 gallons of plne tar. 560 gallons of embalming fluid ard the remainder in disin. iectauts of varying varieties.
 Opening Farm Lands.
 From an agricultural point of view tue results of the new in- duslry will be far reaching. Land worth from $l to s an acre is cleared free of charge by the tur- peutiue company. This clearing costs S22.50 the acre, and cleared lands average in value SIS per acre. The industry is unique, in that the raw material costs the promoter nothing. Merely the cost of distillation and clearing the chccrfully afforded land must be estimated in the profits. Ac c,IdIng 10 reliable authority, one Michigan company paid 40 per cent ou actual investment, and another 30 per cent Oh $lC0,o0O capitalization with only $35, 900 paid in.
 Following the clearing Of the waste land clover is planted by the skilled farmer. After the second years growth potatoes, beans or peas are planted, and then the land is good for almost any growth suitable to Michigan climate
