Jewish Communal life is gradually

WAR RECORD OF AMERICAN
JEWS.
Interesting Data Showing in Patriot
ism,

The January number of the Jewish
Welfare Board Sentinel which has
just appeared. has aroused UNUSUAL in
terest because of an article on the War
Record of American Jews by Julian
Icavitt, Director of the Office of War
Records of the American Jewish Conf
mittee. In reporting on the work of
that office. Mr.. Leayitt states that
there are in its files over 100000 rec
ords of Jews in the military or naval
service, and that 1t is estimated that
these are about half of the total. OF
$4,000 records which have been classi-
fled and filed 5,O21 are commissioned
officers. indicating that between six
and seven per cent Of the Jews in the
service are officers.
A remarkable fact brought to light
In this report are the large number of
volunteers among the Jews in the
army. there being between 10000 and
10000 Jews who voluntarily went into
the service. over twO-thirds of these

fully 80 per cent joined after the
Marines were in the thick of the first
American engagement at Chateau
Thierry. when it was seen that that
Corps had become the "shOck troops
of the American Expeditionnry Forces.
Mr.. Levitt estimates that the total
of Jews who gave their lives was p
800 of whom 1.5OO were killed in ac-
ton or died of wounds: and that the
total Jewish casualties OF all kinds
were 10000. Mr.. heavitt's article
concludes with the expression of the
belief that the completed study Will
show "that the Jews of America have
contributed their full quota to the win

gin beyond their quota: that they en-

ANCIENT GOODS IN
ABANDONED STORE

LINCOLN, .eb., April 11.-Because
he was angered at himself for his
poor judgment in laying in stock
Of goods just at the time, forty years
ago, that the town OF Lowell was
about to vanish into thin air, its
owner closed its doors. shutting the
stock inside. and has never since
opened them
Lowell is in Kearney county, 40
miles west of Lincoln. A representa-
tive of the State Historical Society.
stopping there the other day for some
data about the town, which was once
the largest city In southern Nebras-
ka, but is now populated by less than
thirty persons, got a glimpse OF the
stores interior. Its present owner,
Mr.. Breen, to whom IT has descended
by inheritance and who keeps it in
tact because OF its historic interest,
allowed him a glimpse inside.
The store itself has every window
boarded up, the floor is rickety and
shaky. and everything inside is COW
cred with the dust and cobwebs of
forty years. On the shelves, how
ever. were found Ginghams, the
prints still clear cut and cleaning,
and in the drawers and on racks
were plaid shawls, coats, side-laced
shoes, hair nets, bustles. and other
articles OF wear. Piled on the high
shelves were china, earthenware,
some jars with candy still in them.
In dusty showcases were old bits Of
jewelry and ancient notions.
The vanished city of Lowell num-
bered 5000 inhabitants. That was in
the early seventies. It was the end
town OF those days. 1t boasted four
ten big stores, on the top OF one of
which was a tower in which a huge
lantern swung every night, a veri-
table beacon for the freighters. Kit
Carson" Buffalo BILL" and "Wild
Bill" were familiar figures. 1t had
its dance halls and its gambling
hells, and hundreds Of graves are
still discernible on the nearby hill
side, where the victims OF shooting
ARRAYS were buried.
The big stores were kept so busy
that they had day and night shifts of
clerks, and $4,000 for an evenings
business was not uncommon. A
bridge over the Platte and the eX-
tension Of the railroad took the trade
elsewhere, and within a few months
the city almost vanished.
Most of the owners of stores moved
their stocks. but most of the build
ings were left to go to pieces. Many
Of these ruins yet remain.

PLUMBERS PULL
TEETH IN BRITAIN

LONDON, April IA shocking
condition of anairs has been called to
public attention in England by a re-
port recently made by q committee
appointed q year ago to investigate
the extent Of the evils connected with
the practice Of dentistry by persons
wholly unqualified to practice that
profession.
1t will be hard for Americans to
realize how dentistry is practiced in
England There are a few laws and
government acts controlling the prac-
tice, but they are so lenient that a.
most any one, from a boilermaker to
q fugitive bartender, can go out into
the provinces and, with practically no
tr4ining at all, perform surgical
operations on the teeth and jaws, ad-
ministering anesthetics and carrying
on a general practice
America has quack dentists, but,
as a rule, they have had some college
training or, at least, some little merit
as practitioners But in England the
advertising dentist may be by profess
sion a janitor or a plumber.
In the report It was stated that the
dental profession Is suffering from
the odium and dishonor Cast upon 1t
By the uneducated and unframed per-
sons who are wandering about the
country breaking teeth, and in some
cases causing deaths, through the i'm
proper use Of surgical instruments
or narcotics.
Quaeks Operate In Pairs.
Under the present condition Of af-
fairs the travelling dentists. who are
really nothing but quacks, 80 about
England In pairs. As a ruIe Tnere is
one man who has some little knoWl-
edge of teeth, while his partner acts
as canvasser, working mostly among
the laboring classes.
The result Of the malpractice in this
profession has been widespread decay
"a the teeth of the proletariat The
working classes in England not only
have bad teeth, but they actually SUIT
fer from the diseases caused by lack
Of attention at the proper time.
In hundreds OF cases patients suf-
fering. from an ache in one tooth have
several pulled and q set Of false teeth
put in to replace the sound teeth that
might possibly ache in the future.
Reform Urged In Report.
An Illuminating part of the report
is contained in the following para
BE6phSs
"Thte state cannot AFFORD to allow
the health Of the workers of the ma
tion to be continually undermined BY
dental neglect Steps should be taken,
without delay, to recognize dentistry
as one Of general Importance for pre-
venting ill health, and every possible
means should be employed for en-
tightening the public as to the need
for conservative treatment Of dis
eased teeth.
"The dental profession should be
regarded as one of the outposts of
preventive medicine, and as such en-
couraged and assisted by the state.
Treatment should be rendered avail
able for all who need it The present
anomalous position, in which an un-
educated, unframed person can prac-
tice as a dentist, performing surgical
operations, is doing untold injury and
casting undeserved dishonor upon the
profession"
