GOOD TEETH FOR CHILDREN

When Mrs. w. J. Baxter OF the
Christ Child Society, vice president
and promoter OF the newly organized
Society Of Dental Hygiene. goes to
Georgetown twice each week, she
finds awaiting her a score or more Of
youngsters lined along the curb.
Some with swollen faces, heads and
faces bandaged as IL they had the
mumps; some crying, with their little
hands pressed against their cheeks
and others shaking their loose teeth
around: this is the sight that greets
Mrs. Baxter. These little children Of
varying ages await in line TO get their
teeth treated, pulled, and filled.
Teeth Need Attention.
"Of the children in the Washing
ton schools, 30 per cent need the care
OF dentists" said Mrs. Baxter today.
The outcome of this observation was
the organization Of one general society
with the object OF opening clinics in
the different sections of the city,
where children's teeth could be espec-
tally attended to.

started.
Appropriation to BE Asked.
The total cost of the equipment. ma
terials, and operation for the first
year is $4,000. This will operate six
clinics. An effort will be made to get
an appropriation through Congress in
the fall.

National Issues.
Especial Gable TO The Times.l
LONDON. June I7.-Almost COM
plete silence continues to enshroud
the Spanish situation. Hundreds OF
personal and business cablegrams to
Spain inquiring whether a revolution
has started or what are conditions
there remain unanswered, but a brief
message has been received strengthen
ing the impression that there is great
unrest.
A group OF the deputies, the mes
sage says, have issued a statement
saying that the constitution has been
violated because the Cortes has not
been permitted to participate in the
grave questions now before the
country. These deputies assert they
will summon all the members OF the
Cortes to unite in restoring the rights
of the legislative body.
The commission representing the
military defense committees which
are leading the army against the gov
eminent has arrived at Madrid from
Barcelona TO negotiate with the gov
eminent The Cortes discussed the
action of the military defense COM
mittees in a violent debate. The min
lister of war declared that the rumors
of military sedition at Bilbao were
unfounded.
While German influence seems to be
generally eXonerated in Spain OF
causing the present trouble, it Is
noted that recent submarine activities
indicate that Germany is maintaining
a Gordon of submarines along the
Spanish coast, probably ready to
blockade 1t IL Spain joins the allies.

The Logan players are said to be very

such accomplished actors, and there is
no doubt Of their finding a crowded
house whenever they choose to play at

Burlington, in order that we may have
