ornamentatfon, but the chief purpose
seemed to be to preserve the teeth.
AS the gentlemen with the gold filled
teeth could not utter any golden SEN
timents on the subject the professor
was forced to form his own con-
clusions.
EVIDENTLY MEN OF DEGREE
Naturally, he wished they could talk
and tell about more things than an
cient dentistry. They were doubtless
gentlemen OF the highest class In
their day, otherwise they would not
have gold filings. Doubtless thew
were also gentlemen Of courage. who
could submit to drilling and nerve
killing without the use of cocaine or
other anesthetics. But 1t might not
be impossible that dentists who knew
how to fill teeth with gold might also
know the art of treating patients
painlessly.
There Is lots of gold in Ecuador
and maybe that is why the folks OF
the ancient civilized times, perhaps
before the country had acquired the
spirit of having annual revolutions
found 1t cheap enough to use for FILL
ing teeth. Still, the fact that some
Of the skulls had mere cement as fill-
ing might lead one 10 suppose that
only the aristocratic used gold.
Professor Saville went only two
days journey south of the Panama
canal to get to the place, where he
found the skulls and pottery. This
is his second visit to Ecuador. He
has written books about his explora-
tions in Mexico.

A symposium of women's clubs was

Mary Wood of New York struck a

URBANE AS EVER
Probably one Of the best known
bookmakers who ever operated In this
country was seen in line at Windsor
during the meeting. His name is
George Rose. and the rebuffs his for
tune received in the past made him
a different George Rose to the one
whose operations were the subjects
of much comment in the old days.
He did not lay the prices he for
merly did or accept the wagers he
once liked to handle. AS courteous
as ever, he treated the piker with the
dollar or the plunger of the Nick the

year old that ever lived. was in a race
down at Sheepshead Bay several years
ago Rose took $4,000 bet on the
horse without batting an eye This
was on one OF the few occasions the
great racer was defeated.
NICK THE CREEKS PLUNGE
Leaning idly against the paddock
fence. watching the horses being
warmed up before the race. stood a
young man in a gray suit Wednes-
day afternoon. He was apparently as
listless as any of the paddock loung-
ers until the paddock bell rang and
the horses were led to the stalls to
be saddled for the race.
Then he got into action, straight
ened UP as we'll as the pronounced
stoop of his rounded shoulders would
allow him, and started for the betting
ring. Here he was met by couple

sharp orders were given by the
dark young man in the gray suit, and
the three started in different direc-

outside men for the bookmakers were

1t is only in recent years that we

The word has been in our language for
a long time, but its significance in the

sources is u new one.
Now the great political parties deem

We hear much now concerning the Of.

to increase soil fertility, to apply the
principles of scientific management to

The great mouldcrs Of public opinion

The spirit of conservation is in the
