OLDEST PRACTICING DENTIST
New York Man Has Passed Ninetieth
Birthday and Still Works.

DR.. Charles Elmendorff, said to be
the oldest practicing dentist In Amer
lea, celebrated his ninetieth birthday
at his home In Penn Yam, N. Y.
Doctor Elmendorff Is the son of the
late DR.. James Elmendorff, one of the
first dentists to open an Office In
western New York. When nineteen
years old Charles entered the office
and worked continuously at dentistry.
Practically all of these 10 years have
been passed at Penn Yam. When Doc
tor Elmendorff began working the art
of filling teeth was unknown. All he
did for years was TO extract teeth
that could not be pulled at home by
the use of a string. Later, however,
when the science of treating teeth adj
vanced, he was called upon to learn
and .emplOy new methods.
The aged dentist Is In excellent
health and can be found In his office
every day.

CHILDREN TO HONOR
YOUNGSTOWN MAN
Plan $4,000 Memorial to VOL
ney Rogers, Who Pro-
Is 7 vides Park. n

School children of Youngstown, o.,
have started a unique campaign to
raise $4,000 to defray the expenses Of
the proposed statue and memorial en-
trance to Mill Greek park in honor of
Volney Rogers, lover of children, Of
birds and nature.
Men In Youngstown gladly would
defray the expenses, but the memorial
is to be the tribute of the Youngstown
public, for whom he provided what is
regarded as one OF the finest natural
parks In the country and is to be So
licited through his friends, the chill
dren.
The movement to erect the me-
mortal was started last fall when the
Volney Rogers committee Of the cham
Der Of commerce was named and pub
lie suggestions for the form of the
memorial were called for.
. Mr.. Rogers, an attorney in Youngs-
town AT years, loves the country. He
explored Mill Creek valley, and when
the valleys forests were being de-
spoiled for lumber and It's natural
cliffs for stone, Mr.. Rogers became
active and personally procured options
on more than 500 acres now included
within the park. He then obtained
legislation permitting the purchase Of
parks by townships and purchased
$4,000 bonds needed for the project.
Mr.. Rogers lives near the park. His
father, James Rogers, was one Of the
pioneers of Columbiana county, and
the Youngstown attorney was born
near Rogers, town built on land
owned by TheOphilus Rogers.

Big Engine Order May
Go to Altoona Shops

Altoona, Oct. 31.--It was reported
to-day that an order for the erection
OF so locomotives had been placed
with the Juniata shops, but inquiry
at the offices of General Superinten-
dent of Motive Power j. T. Wallis
elected the information that there
was nothing that could be given out
about the matter at present.
While it was not denied that an
order for engines will be placed with
the shops. the reticence of the offici-
ais to speak of it probably arises
from the fact that there is nothing
definite about the number or for what
lines they are intended.
The mere intimation of the fact
will. however, be good news for the
Juniata shopmen, for things have
ben dull there of late and quite a
number of mechanics and laborers
have been furloughed and a number
OF others are scheduled to be laid off
oil Saturday of this week.
At the office of Works Director II
ri. MaXfield nothing more definite than
a rumor was known about the nro-
posed order, so that no change in the

probable that some will get this back

vices during the last two weeks of

increases granted sometime ago by
the Railroad administration. The pay
amounts to four cents an hour in
crease dating from May /.
The order Cor granting the increase
at this time was issued too late to
make it possible to issue the checks
for all the employees at the new rate,
for it is a big task to make the
change in the rate for the thousands
OF employees and to figure out the
amount of back pay coming to each.
VIII Rush Payments
This will be done as far as possible
and those who fail to get the increase
will find it included in their checks
for the first two weeks of November.
The increase was granted by the
railroad administration several
months ago, after the demands of the
railroad workers had been under con-
sideration for some time at the rail-
road administration headquarters and
after it was finally submitted to Pres
ident Wilson, who recommended that
a raise of cents be allowed. The
men had asked for a raise of about
] 16 cents an hour.

FOR MINERS UP
New Rates Show an Advance
in the Other Industries
Is Very Slight Now

Insurance Commissioner Thomas
b. Donaldson to-day announced that
the increase in compensation in
surance ratings for coal mining will
be twenty per cent. above the rates
for the present year, but that the
increase in the aggregate in other
industries will run little more
than half of one per cent.
The new rates have been approv-
ed by the Commissioner, who says
that contrary to general expecta>-
ton the new rates will be very lit
tie higher on the whole than those
in effect in 1919 and that on many
classifications the rates have neen
reduced in the face of increased
benefits. On some classifications
increases of ten to twenty per cent
were made on actual experience"
The Commissioner calls attention
to the increase of wages in many
lines in 1917 and 1913 brought
many wage earners above the
maximum of $40 a week on which
compensation has been DaSed. Inc
new rates are based wholly on
Pennsylvania experience, which ex-
perience has been more favorable
on a large number of classifications
than the experience heretofore
available" saws he.
In his statement the Commission
err says: For coal mining tie
rates were reduced in 1913 to cor
respond to present level of wages.
'Hhe coal mining compensation in
suIa ance rates in effect during 1918
were no more than sufficient to
cover the cost of compensation
under the old scale of benefits as
devoted by actual experience. 1t
was, therefore, necessary to increase
the insurance rates for both BIZ
luminous and anthracite mining by
about twenty per cent"

by teacher of French in this school.
At the Edison School the program
was repeated. A feature of this
visit, however, was the presentation
of two beautiful bouquets of flowers
which were presented to Mile.
Brard by two little girls represent
ing the two grades from which the
flowers were gift. These little
girls presented the flowers with a
charming little talk to the visitor in
French. The last school visited was
the Central High, where the prin-
cipal, DR.. Walter Severance, was in
charge of the assembly. Here, in
addition to the regular program,
vocal numbers were given by Mrs.
Thamzine Cox and Mrs. William IL.
Witherow.
Mile. Brard's father is a member
of the French Chamber of Depu-
ties. She will visit the Capitol to-
day.
Music students of the musical con-
servatories of the city are invited to
meet Mile. Brard this evening at
Sigler's Music House, at 7.30 o'clock.
Never has such interest been mani
tested in so young an artist as has
been demonstrated in this small
