.,. The Army Dental Corps.
prior to the outbreak OF the war,
the major said, there was no dental
corps in Canada. After the com
mencement OF hostilities, dentists
throughout the country did a great
deal of free work, collectively and in
dividually, and made many recruits
fit who otherwise could not nave en-
listed. The government first provid-
ed stated amount of money for each
battalion that might be expended on
certain dental work for the troops.
This was inadequate, however, and on
July /, 1915, the Canadian army dent
al corps was organized as separate
and distinct unit. Today there are
300 officers (dentists) overseas, and
more than 900 of other ranks.
upon enlistment, dentists who
have been graduated more than two
years, receive the rank of captain,
and if less than two years, the rank
of lieutenant. They receive the same
pay as other officers of equal rank
The most suitable army dentists are
operators with from two to ten years
experience.
Fractured Jaws.
Cases of fractured jaws among
wounded soldiers are successfully
treated by dentists, DR.. Wright said,
as is a disease commonly called
trench mouth"-a very infectious
disease, and injurious to the tissues
of the mouth.
DR.. Wright praised the work &C.
complished by the dental corps in
Canada. 1t was new and untried
institution he said, "but it has won
it's spurs and has exceeded expecta-
lions. The premier of Canada stated,
in January last, that already $4,000
troops had been made fit for overseas
duty by the Canadian army dental
corps, who otherwise might not have
been able to CO. Soldiers with
healthy mouths recover from sickness
or injuries quicker than those with
uncared for mouths" = ..

QUICK HANDLING

Provisions Considered for I'm.

NOW, AWAIT APPROVAL Nj
q. S. WAR DEPARTMENT

Facilities will be provided at Fort
Lincoln for the unloading Of three

which have been prepared by A. H.
Ohlsen of the national defense coun-
Gil, are approved BY the war depart.
ment.
The company last summer was Sc
riously handicapped II the handling
of troops through lack, Of trackage.
Mr. Ohlsen's plans call for three un-
loading tracks, each Of which will &C
commodate a 1,2OO-foOt train, with an
abundance of clearance, and a tail
track at the south which will admit of
switching from either end OF the main
track and the two spurs.
V More Right Of Way.
The present spur 951 feet in length,
and the main track, 1856 feet, both
will be extended, and a third track
of equal length constructed. Addi-
tional rightof-way south Of the mill
tary reservation has been obtained to
accommodate this extension and pro-
vide for the tail track. "A new spur
will be installed, and the ramp used
for the unloading of machines from
open-end cars will be moved to the
end Of this spur. An unloading plat
form with a 10O-foot deck and with
approaches at each end will be in
stalled for the handling of guns, ma
chimes, trucks and men.
Repairing Roadbed.
Seventeen hundred new ties are be-
ing used to repair the spur from the
main line to the fort, and new, heav.
Ter steel is'being laid on the curves.

up. The loading of gravel for this
purp0sesb began at Jamestown today
With the completion of this
plant, the facilities for the quick han
ding Of men, munitions and supplies
at Fort Lincoln will be second to no
post in the northwest.
Authorities Approve.
Colonel John H. Frame, Of the First
regiment went over the plans with
Mr.. Ohlsen yesterday and pronounced
himself entirely satisfied. The plans
already had received the approval Of
Adjutant General Tharalson.

ing. Don't Fail To Hear
The Boy Preacher.

The audience last Sunday evening to
hear Charles Taylor, the boy evangelist
was the largest everin the Tabernacle. About
lIoO were present and much religious zeal
was manifested. The audiences have been
from 400 to 800 during the week.
On Wednesday evening Rev. C. n. Wool
ston, the noted Baptist divine was present
and spoke on the great need Of the united
efforts OF Christian peoples of all denomln-
atoms IN tabernacle meetings against sin
and crime. 1t was by Rev. Woolstons
solicitation that Charles Taylor and his son
the religious genius, came to America and
consequently he feels Interested IN their
success and welfare.
Revs. Taylor father and son will end their
religious campaign Sunday evening when
there will be another large congregation.
On Monday evening the Boy Preacher
will give a history Of his life and religious
career. Several hundred tickets have been
sold already. Admission 3 cents.
They will go to Pasadena. Cal, their
home and become naturalized American
citizens.
The Taylor methods are different from
other evangelists in that they use cards for
persons to designate their decisions to Join
the movement of the Christian Church and
then the side room prayer service; and not
by designating persons to rise or come
forward. While the value of religious
services may not be visibly counted,
the fervent zeal aroused In Christian duty.

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles has
forwarded the following communication
to Offices throughout the State:
I'VE respectfully direct your attention
to the following avs enacted by the 1917
New Jersey Legislature, applicable to
vehicular traffic in this State. These
avs are now operative and their en-
forcement is urged; ~
Chapted "A makes it lawful to display
the new registration number on an auto
mobile any time during the last day of
the old year, i. e.. December 31st.
Chapter 80 extends reciprocity for a
period of fifteen days in apy one year to
cars registered in the Dominion of Can
ada. BY this extension cars registered
in New Jersey will be privileged to tour
the Dominion of Canada under a New
Jersey registration from the various
Provinces through which a resident Of
this State may elect to travel.
Chapter 81 requiring that all horse
drawn vehicles shall display a red light
in the rear of such vehicle, as it now is
required to be displayed on a motor We
hicle. 1t also makes mandatory the dis
play of a white light in the front Of the
horse drawn vehicle.
Where the owner of the horse drawn
vehicle can effect a combination lamp
showing a white light in the front. vis-
ible for a distance of at least gao feet.
and a red light. in the rear, visible for a
like distance, then only one lamp is nee
essary. If. however, no such combina-
ton lamp is employed, then the horse
drawn vehicle must carry two lamps. one
in front and one in the rear. Penalty
for violation, fine not less than two dol
lars and fifty cents and not more than
tive dollars.
In the Judgment of this department no
greater menace copfronts the night OPP
orator of automobiles than that of q
horse drawn vehicle which suddenly
looms up in the darkness without dis
playing any light whatsoever, and to re-
quire that every horse drawn vehicle
should display the proper equipment is
a duty that imposes alike on all officers
of this State vested with the enforce
ment of the law. For your assistance in
requiring that the above statutes be com
phed With this Department will be gen
timely appreciative."
