commenced In the German courts by
the descendants of the famous Russian
General Muennich to recover the sum
OF 100000 roubles ts20, 00O,0O0l from

The claim Is based upon the gift of
the estate TO General Muennich by
Frederick the Great. as reward for
his share in bringing about the treaty
between Russia and Prussia. The gen

fered present. but the deeds OF gift wero

lasted twenty years. doubts seem to

New York.-A comparisonNof the

Beside this, 1t might be cited that
100000 locomotive engineers receive
an average of $1,000 year. The
average policeman gets $1,000 year

Dentists Declare Thousands of Pupils
Suffer In Health From Decayed

Chicago.-Declaring that in some
districts Of Chicago 81 per cent. Of the
school children have decayed teeth
and that bad teeth cause criminal in
stincts. a research committee Of the
Chicago Dental society today made an
appeal for the establishment of fund
of $4,000 to establish dental clinics in
the schools and for the school children
of Chicago.
The report of the committee char
acterizes the condition as alarming
and dangerous. Attention of city Of
ficials, as well as dentists and philan-
thropic citizens, is urged to start a
city-wide movement to have the school
children given dental treatment.
This MEANS" says the report, that
unless something is done to ameliorate
the condition there are ninety-seven
! out OF every 100 school children who
are to be handicapped In their efforts
to make for themselves an honorable
place in the world"
Several well-known Chicago philan-
thropists already have pledged sums
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 toward
the fund.
Continuing, the report says: school
children Of Chicago are suffering 11ri-
Gus disability through neglect Of their
teeth. In one district in the southern
part Of the city where an examination
of 700 children has been made It IL
found that 81 per cent. are in need OF

The members of the Chicago Dem

to bear the financial burden which 1t
entails. A fund Of $4,000 is needed
