DENTISTS WANT
LATITUDE
HAVE BILL IN LEGISLATURE
TO SHIELD GRADUATES
FROM TECHNICAL ExAMlNA-
TlONS OF STATE BOARD.

Dentists who depart from the
ethical method of waiting for busl'
ness to come to them are deeply in
terested in an amendment to the
state dental bill, which is now be.
fore the legislature in the form OF
house bill No. 355. This amend
ment provides that licensed grad
uate dentist in this state may EN-
ploy under him graduate and com
petent dentist without the latter
having state license.
The dentists supporting the pre-
posed amendment state that it's in.
tent is simply to enable them to
employ competent help, something
very difficult to do under the policy
pursued by the present state dental
examiners. A graduate dentist
from the best accredited colleges
may come to this state and yet be
deprived of opportunity to practice
because of not being able to answer
the catch questions that are consid.
cred more important, 1t is claimed
than practical work. This happens
in cases of dentists who have been
several years out of college or &C.
tive practice and have not kept
read up to the minute. . ...-.,

graduate dentist, but was fined $50

POOR MATRIMONY
DEAL FOR POTTS

On the witness stand in Judge
Huneke's court, Charles H. Potts
testified as to a distressing betray-
al of his confidence by his former
wife. Laura A. Potts, who recently
became the wife of another man,
and did not appear in court to de-
fend the action brought against
her by her ex-husband.
Potts, who is Northern Pacific
employee, had been divorced from
Mrs. Potts, but was anxious to ef-
feet reconciliation and start
anew. His wife agreed to this on
condition that he should give her
his wages for a period of several
months. She was to apply por-
ton of the money on the purchase
of real estate and save the balance
for nest egg to aid in again get
ting started properly in housekeep-
ing.
Things went along tremendously
for awhile, and at the end of the
period of probation Potts request.
ed his ex-wife to make good her
promise. She refused and told him
to make himself scarce around her
place of abode, for she loved an
other. Potts awoke to a realiza-
ton of what had occurred to him
after having paid his wife $1,000.
He discovered that the title to
the real estate. she had purchased
was made out in her name, and
that she had applied only $275 of
his savings on it. The court order
ed the title to the real estate to
be vested in Potts, whose faith in
woman is now much shaken.

To Offset all this confident Yale talk

to this historic argument is that not
since 1923 has Harvard won twice in
succession, and this Is late day for
the upsetting of that long record.
OF course, neither Captain Howe, OF
Yale, nor Captain Cutler, of Harvard.
is upsetting college tradition by claim
ing victory before the race. The
coaches, Kennedy. of Yale and Wray.

or modest, however. and each has been
heard to assert that HIS charges are
IN good condition and need only the
chance to prove their rowing skill.
The start of the big race will be
well worth seeing. The Harvard crew
knows how to get under way quickly,
and the racing starts made by Yale
this year have been revelation even
to the old men on the river.
1t will be terrific race until one
crew succumbs to the strain. and then
the result will have been decided. That
is what happened last year. Then.
however, Yale was trying to row

rowed short one. This year both
crews will use a short stroke.
