More Women pentists7

Dentistry as profession may have
few attractions generally, especially
for women. Nevertheless, it does af-
ford steady and, In many cases, highly
remunerative work, candidates for
which cannot but be reduced in num-
Der by the exigencies of the war. A
certain branch of dental work known
as dental mechanics offers a field
which seems peculiarly suited to wom-
en-, or. at any Fate, to those who have
the natural dexterity and fineness Of
touch usually possessed by them.
Dental mechanics do not, of course,
extend their training to the surgical
side of their undertaking, though
those qualifying as dental surgeons
have to be adequately expert me-
chanics-the greater includes the less,
here as elsewhere-but the work is
fairly lucrative anc distinctly regular,
so that 1t seems certain that more and
more of it will fall into the hands Of
competent women in the future.

Modern Military Balloons.

Great improvements have been
made in the construction of kite bal
looms in the past two years, according
to Henry Woodhouse, the leading
American aircraft authority. In
Everybody's he says: 1.-THE old de-
sign based ON the original German
drachen balloon was sausage-shaped
and could stand little wind above 80
miles per hour. The present design
used by the allies, and to some extent
by the Germans, is based on the de-
sign of Captain Cacqou Of the French
army. It is pear-shaped on one side
and has three huge fins, one on each
side and one underneath the aft end
of the gas-bag. On the ground these
fms give it the appearance of huge
elephant.
'This type of military balloon is
much steadier and safer than the old
type and can stand a wind of up to
60 miles an hour. They are from 70
to 80 feet in diameter, and have a
hydrogen capacity Of from 10000 to
$4,000 cubic feet"

The mother wanted the child to have

1t to carry another through life. The

Now the mother has appealed to the
state department of vital statistics,
asking that the child's name be chang
ed so as to conform to her wishes.
State officials have failed to unearth
any law authorizing such action.

AS the bailiff jumped to the rescue

down, then the bailiff collapsed into a
chair to try and grasp the horror Of
the situation. The court held his dig

This was the psychological moment

blond sten0grapher who sat beside

the next station, or maybe a dozen
stations beyond, and, being late, be
fired. You yourself. for that matter,
might be whisked on past your station
and fall into a passion that would
cause your breakfast to sour and make
you surly all day. And there is always
tragedy in that frame of mind, since
man has to be placid these days or
lose his nerves, his job, and every
thing.
