Lecture en- Preservation Of Teeth.

During an interesting lecture. which
he gave Tuesday evening in the high
school auditorium TO an attentive
audience, DR.. + s Mckay. of Colo
rado Springs. chairman OF the state
committee on dental research.
brought out f5rcibly many
impressive facts about that very i'm
portant part OF mans anatomy his
teeth. and made clear the distressing
effects OF adenoid growths and OF
bad tonsils DR. Mckay illustrated
his lecture with about ninety clear
and convincing stereopticon views
II is safe 70 say that upon a teach
lly physician the fact Is borne In
that parents are distressingly ne
glectful OF the care of their own teeth
and those OF their children. II such
lectures A. DR.. Mckay's could be
heard more often. and the truths
made ci~ar In them should be needed
there would be. In no great while.
marked decrease In physical ailments
OF both children and grown people:
and fewer persons would find them
selves toothless at an age when they
are still entitled TO the comfort of
good teeth. We believe II not too
vehement to say tha, neglect OF the
teeth is absolutely criminal.

The witness protested against that in
expectation Of his statement.

who were IN his lifeboat and gave them
to Smith. The chairman looked a.
these and observed sarcasticaily' II

CHAIRMAN SMITH GROWS sAR'

For some reason, Chairman Smith In
lslsted on i~nterrupting Loves c~hronoloSt'
cal story with criticism and sarcastic
Questions. The witness dogsedly tried
to tell his story coherently and Was ap'
parentiy greatly Disguised over Smith's
constant Interruptions over seemingly
trivial points.
Picking up his narrative AFTER n o.
these Lowe continued:
:" laid Off q bit until the drownint

Chairman of the committee, made a statement charging that an attempt
had been made to interfere with the work of the investigators.
From the beginning until now" said Senator Smith, there has been
4 voluntary, gatutous ~neddesome attempt on the part Of certain per.
sons TO influence the course Of the committee, and to shape its procedure.
The committee will not tolerate any further attempt on the part Of any
one 10 shape its course"
Senator Smith pounded on the table as he made this statement, but
he declined, when requested to do 50. to explain who had attempted 10
interfere with the committee or thwart Its investigation.
Before the days proceedings began a report had gone out that J.
Bruce kmay would be the first witness. This caused the greatest crush
ince the investigation was begun. Scores Of beautifully dressed women
stood for more than two hours In front Of the committee room waiting
for III. doors to be opened. The crowd became so great that officers
threatened to clear the corridors. and a chorus Of Indignation resulted
from fhe wo,id.he spectatorS.
