 Amend Dental Bill.
 For the purpose of correcting a number of discrepancies and ire gularities in the present law, re- gulating the practice of dentistry, Representative Craig, himself a den tist, some time ago introduced in the House such a measure. The bill yesterday for over three hours occupied the attention of the com mittee of the whole House, and was finally agreed to. The bill provides for a State Board of Dentistry, which shall consist of five members, as is the present law; but the new bill simpliies the procedure of state examinations for license to practice in the State and it is thought will correct the situation which has given rise to the gossip that a dentists trust exists in Arizona
