Good Teeth Will
Lessen All Crime

Dr.. A. O. Hunt spoke on a free
dental dispensary, at the Commercial
club at noon. "All the dentists of
Omaha want is chance and a place
to give away their services to the
children in the care of teeth" said
DR.. Hunt. He declared that care OF
the teeth had tendency to cut down
the number OF epidemics, and Miss
Ruth Freeman OF Chicago upheld him
in this in a brief talk She declared
a big per cent Of the vice in Chicago
and other large cities could be avoid,
ed if the children had better care
of the teeth, as the brain was af-
fected by bad teeth and careless
mouth hygiene.
Mogy Bernstein, who took part in
the symposium, declared that while
he was probation officer in Omaha 50
per cent of the children that came
before the court were in need OF
dental attention.

The map of distributing centers is
expected to be of great interest in
connection with the live issue of the
high cost Of living.
Everybody knows that from four to
six milk wagons of competing diaries
pass his door every morning. That
is duplication, and one of the items
that enters into high cost. Grocers'
wagons of a half dozen competing
stores cover the same territory and
duplicate. The City Planning board
does not know whether it can do any
thing about all this or not but it will
at least have a map that will show
where all these wagons start from.
Mr.. Morton also told the Civic
league about the plans for widening
Twenty-fourth street and other work

At the next meeting of the Civic
league directors the league will have
under discussion the various phases
of the high cost of living Secretary

on the subject, being glad to get sug-
gestions by mail or orally from any
one who has a phase of the subject

one hour and ten minutes.
Miss Margaret Scott made the first
half of the swim but came back via

then turned and swan back. 1t was
the first time the feat has been &C
complished by women. The same two
swimmers swan to municipal beach
from Carter Lake club once before,
but never accomplished the round
trip.
They used the side stroke, the
"crawp and the overland, but never
any resting stroke like floating,
