PULLING TOOTH WITH "BlKE'
Novel Dentistry Method Of Two Lads
Failed Because One Lost His
Nerve,

The best tooth pulling story comes
from Ocean Park and involves two
boys and a bicycle.
Roy Fosdick, nine years old, told
his playmate of his aches and was
offered many devices for relief. Final
ly this plan was evolved: John
Tower was to bring around his bicy.
Gle, a string would be tied to it and
the tooth. Tower would ride swiftly
away, Roy would brace himself and
out would come the tooth.
All was made ready. The boy
mounted the bicycle and started. And
right there Roy's nerve failed him.
He started after the bicycle. The BIZ
cyclist rode faster. 1t developed into
race. Finally Roy was close
enough to make a wild grab for the
machine. The result was that the two
boys and the bicycle landed in a
heap, with the youngsters suffering
from injuries ranging from a cut on
Roy's head to a wrenched ankle for

"Humbug" Spreading Out.

"Once upon time," writes an
American woman from Munich, "the
humbug was looked upon as a strictly
American product. With it's habitat in
the land Of Uncle Sam, the echo OF
it's hum might sometimes reach be-
yond the sea, but the bug itself, it
was supposed, could never live and
thrive except in the country which
had produced the wooden nutmeg, Car.
diff giant and the army of worthless
mine promoters. But the humbug has
become an institution in Germany,
and some American tourists who
climb mountains incautiously will rea.
lie the fact when the edelweiss
which they took home as proof OF
their deeds is discovered to be q
sham, made In this city, with intent
to deceive"
