PUBLIC DENTAL CLINICS
URGEDFOR DISTRICT
Delepation Asks Commissioners to
Recommend Appropriation for Es.
tablishing Institution. ;

! Appropriation by Congress of $4,000
for the establishment Of public dental
clinics in the District of Columbia was
urged by representatives OF the Society
| of Dental Hygiene at a hearing before
Commissioner Brownlow today. The COM
mittee had formerly appeared before
| members of the board Of education and
! made similar plea
With s25,000. the speakers explained.
six clinics could be equipped and main
| tanned for a year. Four of these clinics
would be for white children and two for
| colored. 1t is believed that 10 per cent OF
| all the children in the public schools need
| ing dental attention could receive it 1t
| Is estimated that 80 per cent Of public
| school pupils are in need of such atten-
| ton.
Benefits Enumerated.
| It is felt that through the clinics not
| only would a large number of boys and
| girls be able to receive direct attention,
but that parents throughout the entire
| community would be aroused to their re-
| sponsibilities of having the teeth of their
children kept in good condition.
1t was shown by speakers today that
good teeth are not a luxury. as re-
| garded by some persons. but that upon
! them depends good general health. Not
| only the individual but the entire
| economic fabric suffers when bad teeth
| are prevalent evil, it was said.

Strain Not So Marked.

Despite the appearance or this ne" al .
Fiction and the seeming heghtening of
other stresses in modern warfare, DR..
White does not believe the greater strain
Of latter-day fighting. as compared with
other wars is as marked is generally
believed He pointed out that no effort was
made to keep medical records before our
own civil war. While men are under
greater strain today. he said. there also is
better hygienic and sanitary care of them
than ever before and more attention is
paid to wedding out men who obviously
could not stand the strain than ever be-
fore.

Analvzes Shell Shock.

.eWhat is shell shock? Well. as an
example, take the case of hall dozen
men in a trench. \ shell bursts over
them, with tremendous force, and two or
three are buried in the debris, They are
dug out and go back to their duty, put
in twelve. maybe twenty-four, hours they
go to pieces. One may be paralyzed. an
other blind or deaf. or simply in a state
of stupidity from which he cannot be
aroused. .,
"There are no exact figures to show the
extent of this peculiar and characteristic
effect of present day fighting. One esu-
mate, not vouched for is that in the Ger
man army there are twenty-five cases
per thousand men. That would mean
25. 900 cases for a million men; and 1t
seems unthinkable.
I'VE do know that in England there are
six. perhaps eight, special hospitals which
handle only shell-shock cases. Through
one Of these nearly $4,000 cases have
passed. and am glad to say the reported
recovery in one hospital was so per cent.
The treatment takes from three to six
months Like surgical wounds, the sue
cess of the treatment depends largely
upon the lapse of time before it begins

last mentioned need to furnish the final
link in chain of a new sort of prophy-
Tactic and curative provision for the men
who will fight under the Stars and stripes;
Consideration of this sort OF medical
care for the men was instituted by the
national committee for mental hyg1ene'
in conjunction with the office of the
surgeon general of the Army. A sub
committee was named, of when Dr
White was a m member, to pave the way
in conjunction with the surgeon gen.

THE practice Of throwing away a

service manager of the FISK Rubber
Company "ThS old fashioned idea

il is only because they fail to under

"A good repair man of to-day can
make good as new an injured tube

Economy and Investment

In ratio to power they are most economical in

In ratio to weight and carrying capacity, the

owners frequently to get from 5000 to 10000
miles on single set of tires.
Studebaker Cars are very economical to main

and keeps the cost of adjustments and repairs at
a minimum.
Then, too, Studebaker Cars are distinctly the
Owners Cars. Their great accessibility, their
simplicity of design and construction, and the

81 am referring to the belief that
prevails among hosts OF motorists as
to the effect OF hot weather on auto
mobile tires. II is surprising how
many motorists stili believe that in
hot wca; hcr the air in tire expands
to the danger point. Why this wrong:
impression should have gained such
wide circulation is difficult to explain.
There is nothing in the hot weather
theory
1T is true. OF course, that on hot
day the air in a tire expands some
what-but so slightly as to he ncgli-
Sible i'm it's effect Internal tire heat

gree of heat. In winter tn" effect is
not so prominent, because Of tho moro

low treasure damages lirCS
The practice OF running tires at
loss than recommended prcSSurCS in
warm weather to overcome expansion
tendencies. instead of saving tires and
money. has cost the motorists of this
country many millions OF dollars.
Tho modern pneumatic tire appears
to be a pathctically frail structure to
many car owncrs--so the advent OF
ic al TO n
air pressurcs. But tires arc not so
fragile as some car owners ina Einc.
We build them to withstand four and
five times recommended prcSSurcs. An
instance recently came to our attention
in which hoy attempted 10 initiate a
set of tires on his fathers car with
an air hose. and had actually put 400
pounds air pressure in Goodyear tire
before discovered.
when you run your tires under
inflated i'm hot weather to combat air
expansion, YOU require increased bend
ing of the sides OF your tires, and. in
cidentally, create more hcat--which is
just the condition YOU set about to
avoid. Soon the strength of the cotton
fibers is broken down and YOU are
treated to the unwclcomc sound of
the blowout.
Danger In determination.
whatever expansion occurs in a tire
while running is lost again after the
car has stood for short timc-and If
air has been removed from the tires
in the meantime. they are then subject
to all the dangers of underinfiation.
Hundreds of tests have proved that
no tire is in danger Of blowing out
because of hot-wcather expansion of
air when tires are inflated to recon-
mcnded pressurcs. Motorists should re-
fuse 10 he mislcd by the 'hot-weather'
theory--there is nothing in it worth
mentioning"
