SWIPE HEN TO FIND
WHY TEETH ARE SHY
Dental Students Thirst For Knowl-
edge to Their Sorrow.

edge to Their Sorrow.
ATLANTA.-Ap professional desire
on the part of two dental students to
discover why there were no hen teeth
led to the swiping of a boarding
house chicken, slap in the face and
the appearance before Recorder
Johnson Wednesday morning of half
of the students in the Atlanta Dental
College.
j. K. Sheffield and H. o. Wimb erly,
students, were the defendants, and
S. S. Busby, another student, was the
plaintiff. The witnesses were more
students and boarders at Mrs. South S
house.
Last Sunday at dinner, it appeared
from the testimony, the boarders-
of whom Sheffield, Wimberly and
Busby were three-had chicken. They
had chicken so extensively that only
a neck was left and a few stray
shreds on the carcass. To slip the
stripped fowl under coat and take
it home was short work for Sheffield
and Wimberly.
1--WE wished" said the dental
twain, to examine it and find out
why hens have no teeth"
In some fashion the landlady dis
covered who stole the hen. Sheffield
and Wimberly decided Busby told
her. And so, meeting Busby on the
steps of the dental college Tuesday
afternoon, Sheffield drew two mOlars
with a lick on the jaw. Busby had
him arrested.
Judge said Busby, frail youth.
these two fellows belong to the col
! lege union, and they can say any
thing they want about me and the
union will protect 'em. The union
is always bothering me and threaten
ing my life"
well, just beat up two or three
of these union men," the judge told
Busby laughing, land come down
here and it won't cost you a cent
But, as for Sheffield, I'll fine him
1915 and dismiss the case against
Wimberly.''

HOW He'd RUN TOWN
PREACHER, a CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR, ISSUES PLATFORM.
Would Not Indulge in Crusades, But
Would Operate Government Like
ANY Business Concern.


GREENWICH, Conn.-"This bor-
ough will be run like any business
concern, All the people will be stock
holders of a big business house. The
town will be managed for their ben
eft, without regard to politics, if l
am chosen mayor"
So said the Rev. Charles F. Tay-
lor, the Fighting Pastor" when he
outlined recently the platform on
which he will stand when he runs for
warden mayor of Greenwich next
month. DR.. Taylor, pastor of the
Second Congregational church, one
of the wealthiest here, has accepted
a nomination for mayor on an indie
pendent ticket. He is a muscular
christian, standing feet inches,
and seemingly in good condition,
spiritually and physically.
THE duty of the church and all
good citizens is service to the COM
munity," he said. THE best service
of practical christianity is to make
all the community healthier, happier,
better and freer. And the way to
do that is not to begin by bounding
sO-called evil doors. We are all evil
doors, for that matter. l mean the
cleaning up of the town sort of
thing. 1t isn't that sort of strong
arm work that accomplishes things.
l know, because when I was pastor
in New York l went in for the vice
crusade idea. l even used to go out
and serve warrants.
Not a Bitter Foe of Saloon.
81 shall not begin by trying to
close the saloons. l shall not make it
my business to seek out violations of
the liquor law-unless a strong pub
lie sentiment demands it, for law
is, after all, only a scrap of paper
unless the public is behind it.
II shall try only to make Green
wich a better place to live in, and l
hope before we get through the COM
munity will have so many more use
full and interesting things to offer
that men will not care to spend their
time in saloons.
81 do not mean that l shall not en-
force the law if I am called upon to
do it. l shall But l mean that my
program will be constructive, not
merely chasing evils.
what has politics to do with the
electric lighting problem? What has
it to do with the health problem?
What has it to do with the school
system? With public charity? A
great deal today, you may say. But
it does not need to have. I am go
ing to show that if the people give
me a chance.
Does Not Hope For Wonders.
perhaps not a great deal of what
hope for will be accomplished dur
ing nv administration. But / intend
to point the way, and l believe it
will be followed.
To-day the borough government IS
a close corporation, run for the bene-
fit of little political clique. The
people and their welfare do not
count. l intend to democratlze
things. Under the present charter
the warden has power to do almost
ANYTHING within the range of human
Imagination. But am going to call
the people in on all important mat
tiers and do what they want"
DR.. Taylor has preached daringly
on civic questions to his wealthy ana
conservative congregation. So lar
from resenting his instructions his
parishioners have followed them

Effort to Suppress Trade.
One notable Russian consul gen

fort to suppress the trade in so far
as Russian subjects were concerned,
and the Turkish officials made repeat
ed efforts at a cleanup, but without
co-operation of all the foreign con-
suls no real impression was made.
When Mr.. Morgenthau arrived in
Constantinople near the end of 1913
he quickly grasped the difficulties
and was the first to succeed in bring
ing the foreign consuls and the high
est Turkish police authorities to-

ingnesS to do their share in suppress

ambassador fortunately had the grip

meeting held last March at the Amer
lean embassy the ConstantinOple as

Cornell Tarler, secretary of the en-

efforts of this association were about
to bear fruit, when the outbreak of
the European war upset all co-opera-
