WORK OF ANCIENT DENTISTS
Remarkable Teeth Decoration Shows
That They Possessed Consider
able Skill.

By far the most transcendent ex.
ample OF teeth decoration which has
at present come to light In America
is in a skull discovered In 1909 at q
place called La Piedra, near the point
on the right bank OF the Esmeraldas
river where II empties into San Mateo
bay. II was accidentally found by Mr..
Pinzon and Mr.. George ID. Hedian, the
latter an American consular agent at
Esmeraldas, and was kindly presented
by Mr.. Hedian for the Heye museum
during my visit to Ecuador last sum-
mer. The skull was seen projecting
from the bank, but no other parts of
the skeleton were uncovered. probably
having been washed away after the
bank was undermined.
The upper part OF the skull is in
fragments, but Is restorable. The
skull, slightly deformed. is that Of an
adult female. The decoration OF the
teeth is unique and presents a new
type OF facial ornamentation. In.
stead OF small disks being set into arti
fetal cavities we find in this case that
certain teeth OF the upper jaw were al
most entirely covered on the outer
face by an overlay Of gold. The en-
tire enamel OF the teeth decorated har
been removed, with the exception oi
narrow bands at the bases and the up
per parts, where they we're close to
the flesh and embedded In the jaw.
The removal OF the enamel II
through to the dentine and was skill
fully accomplished. It appears that ir
some instances saving was done slight

might be fitted under II in order Il

GIRLS PREFER JOBS
TO GETTING MARRIED.
By the United Press.

Chicago. Oct. "a few years ago
when a girl left school she immedi-
ately began to hunt husband. Get
ting married was her only outlook,
and the best chance she had OF get
ting a home. It's different now,
When a Chicago girl leaves school
these days she Immediately hunts
a job. Then, when she has demon
strated her ability to support her
self - and, perhaps, contribute
largely toward the upkeep Of divers
brothers and sisters-she ieisurely
looks over the male OF the species
and selects one to suit her fancy.
All this is indicated by the new
school census, according to w. l..
Bodine, uperintendent of compul-
sorry education. His figures show
there are 159,77S males engaged in
occupations in the city, compared
with 555, SIS in 1903, while 236 :
S1l females held positions now,
against l49, S67 in 1903. The men
gained only SO per cent, while the
women gained SO per cent
These statistics show the women
of today are fast breaking away
from economic dependence on men, -
said Bodine. Girls are not now
marrying Just to get home. Sta
tstics slrow that marriages are not
increasing with the same percentage
of gains as the population"
Some of the occupations in which
women and girls of Chicago are
engaged, and the number employed
are as follows: Stenographers, 21,-
$50, dressmakers, 15,099, domes-
tics, 34,073 physicians, 529, JAM
tresses 1926, bookkeepers 9,77
merchants 1876, telephone opera
