Preceding her talk community choir, under the dil ection of Mrs. Reamey, rem dered patriotic songs and hymns. The choir was composed of singers from various churches and did splen- did work. Miss Kearney is woman of national fame, working in the in terest of women in the temperance cause, at the ballot and along all re- forms. Her subject Sunday evening was "Woman's Part of War Endur- ance." Her visit to the European countries now at war and her enter tainment by the crowned heads of those countries made her talk all the more interesting and one of the best ever heard here.
 Miss Kearney's platform career was begun soon after meeting Miss Frances E. Willard. She entered the work of the Great Reform, to which that matchless leader had consecrated her talents, and was at once chosen to fill important offices. She was crowned with promotions. These found their continuation in the recep- tion of a cablegram from England in-

 DENTAL WORK

New York, Aug. -Eighty-five per cent. of the men chosen by the selec- tive draft need dental attention, and the mouths of sixty per cent. are in were given out yesterday by the Pre- 1aredness League of American Den lists.
 Further statements include the re- port that twenty per cent. of all sick leaves granted to men at the front are due to dental troubles and large numbers of those disabled in France are unfit for military duty because of jaw and mouth conditions.
 In view of these facts, the Prepared ress League of Amercian Dentists is working to save the teeth ofsAmerican soldiers and sailors and to make their mouths sanitary so that when they arrive over there they will not suffer from abscessed teeth and bad roots.
 Inasmuch as there is only one den- tist allotted to every 1,G50 men in the army, the League has been formed to cooperate with draft boards in ex- amining the teeth of selected men and then performing the most necessary operations before the registrants en- train for camp,
 It has been estimated that, by the work of the League, the mouths ot American soldiers will be kept clean from diseased teeth to such an extent ] that the men now in hospitals because

CADILLAC
 HELPS OUT STALLED CARS

Although the Cadillac Motor Car leo. has not built one-cylinder auto mobiles since the early days-19O3 and 1904-it Is not at all unusual for 1t to hear from owners who are still running these old cars.
 One of the most interesting of such letters lately received comes from a man in Washington, D. C., who says he uses his single cylinder Cadillac in his sales work among the grocery Robbers in Washington and Alexan- |dria, Va. The car is a 1903 Model A -one of the first Cadillacs built. The owner writes:
 "I am not a mechanic, but I am a Jack of -all-trades' and I keep the old box so 1t will run up hill and down hill and drag anybody out of a rut that I meet in one, and there have been some of them.
 Some time ago I met party on Capitol Hill with an automobile car rying four men, and they had broken their crankshaft. I weigh 220 pounds, and had my brother with me, who weighs 265 pounds. I pulled this au- tomobile with four men in it. while my brother and I were in my old single-cylinder machine. and pulled the whole business over to Anacostia with no trouble whatever.
 ''I took these people out over Penn. sylvania avenue, and while people cheered the old Cadillac, they joshet the fellows sitting in tha big machine
 T make 1t point to help any fel low who may be broken down on th' road"
