JOHN MAYER FOR $500, 900
Wants Damages from Mr.. Mayer
for Alienation of His Wife's
Affections.

Mr.. Blackwell in his complaint says
that he and his wife lived happily
until after the birth of their child
when he alleges Mr. Mayer began
paying attentions to Mrs. Blackwell
He made no charge of misconduct
against his wife stating that the con

had caused her to grow cold to him

DETROIT CONTRIBUTES
FOR DENTAL CLINICS
Michigan City Interested Says
Health Board President.

Charles H. Oakman, d. d. s., presi-
F)dent of the board of health of Detroit
Mich, has written us the following
regarding dental clinics in the Mich
igan city:
Detroit, Mich, November 10, 1914.
Editor Chronicle.
In your article "a plea for dental
clinics in the public schools" signed
by Henry N. Dodge, and published
October 23rd, the statement was made
that 'Chicago, Cleveland and in a
lesser way, Detroit, are leading in
this movement in this country" Chic
ago allows $500 by popular subscrip-
tion, which endowment at per cent
would net $2100 per year.
The city OF Detroit allowed the
Board OF Health $4,000 with which
to maintain dental inspection in the
schools and the dental clinics, of
which there are ten, running six days
week. These represent an aggre-
gate of three hundred and ninety
working hours per week. A report of
the work done in October shows 49,
200 inspections and 9,2S6 sittings in
the clinics.
In view of these facts | fail to see
where Detroit has taken a lesser
part IN the movement Tor oral dy-
giene." In fact l may say that De-
troit is one of the leaders. Compare
son will show readily what Detroit is
doing. New York has population
, of about 4,500000 and an appropria-
I tion of $22,S00, Chicago's population
is about 2,500O,00O with an appropria-
tion of $4,000 1914) and Detroit has
a population of about 100000 with an
appropriation of $4,000 traised by tax
4 atom
| would add that we have three
trained nurses and seven women as
sistants in the clinics. We will ex-
anime our school population twice a
year totaling 100000 inspections
Seven dental inspectors devote six
half days week to school inspection
This is not written In the spirit of
criticism, but to give your informant
certain salient points which he has
apparently missed.
Very truly yours,
G. H. OAKMAN.
P.S.
This year we will give two hundred
illustrated lectures in the public and
DarOchial schools

Three Boys Pay So and Costs for Be-
ing Out Late.

Seven youths, rounded up by Pa
trolman Youngs, were arraigned be-
fore Justice Bennell Monday night
charged with violating the curfew
law. They were Edward Crowell,
Samuel Rosenberg, Joseph Rosen-
burg, Henry Coss, Wesley Skinner,
Allen Stoutenberg and Leon McCloud.
Parents of the boys were on hand and
to them Justice Bennell delivered a
lecture. He told them that despite
warnings by the police they had per-
mitted their boys to run the street at
night and if they did not care enough
for their children for their own sakes
to take proper care of them he would
see that they were touched from the
standpoint of their pocket books. The
three first named boys we're each fin
ed So and costs. The cases of the
others were continued pending furth-
er examination, 1t being contended by
the youths that the reason they were
out after nine o'clock was that they
were employed as alley boys at the
Young Mems Christian association.

STATE TO COUNT NOSES
AGAIN IN COMING YEAR
Preparation for Census Now Being
Made by Secretary of State
Crater.

Once every ten years New Jersey
counts noses and next year is the
time for the next census-taking under
the State auspices. Preparations are
now being made by Secretary of State
Crater for the work.
The census will bet aiken in accord
ance with the statute of 1895, which
specified that the secretary of State
should take it that year and every
tenth year thereafter. The census
will have to be commenced June l,
next. The principal immediate I'M
portance of the census, both State
and federal, lies in the manner in
which it affects the classification of
counties and municipalities.
In general, it is probable the same
lines will be followed in 1915 that
were prescribed in 1905 unless the
next Legislature should consider it
desirable to require either some var
iation in the statistics TO be obtained
or to make some additions to them.
While the census will be taken un-
der the supervision of the State au-
thorities, the expense, if the preced-
ent of ten years ago be followed, will
be borne by the counties. The only
State Appropriate made for the work
in 1905 was 5000, which went to the
State super isor of the census and for
the expenses of his Office. The al
Iowances to local supervisors and to
enumerators were regulated by the
act. The enumerators received two
cents a name and the local supervis
or one cent. Out of the latter there
had to be paid the expenses of his Of
fee. The local supervisors and the
enumerators were appointed by the
secretary of State.
The secretary of State is required
to appoint the supervisors prior to
May l, next, for the law compels him,
by that date, to send to each super
visor the names and addresses of the
enumerators to work under him.

many people walk to the Morristown
