DENTISTS PLAN
TO HAVE STUDY
Dr. Charles Bentley Suggests at the
County Meeting That Men Read q.
Up in Profession

Study of subjects of interest to
dentists is the plan suggested by
Dr. Charles T. Bently OF Chicago
to members of the Rock Island
County Dental association at its
meeting held last evening in the
Ioline Manufacturers hotel
DR.. BentIey's idea is to have den
lists study such subjects which they
wish to choose and which are Of
interest to the profession. He fur
tier urges that counties in the state
follow the same course at the same
time and that the state organiZa-
ton send lecturers TO county or
CARNATIONS to aid them in their
work In this way DR. Bentley sees
promotion in dental literature and
more interest in the state meetings.
i he plan also asks that a speaker
he brSught TO the state conventions
to address the dentists.
The state convention of dentists
this year will be held in Peoria in
the early part of May.
The association last evening ia
vOred the plan to have Or. Thomas
Z. Hartzell of Minneapolis, a recOg-
7 .zed leader in his profession, come
to the tri-cities in March or April.
DR.. Hartzell in addition to being af-
fliated with the University of Min
nesota is the author of literature
given country wide recognition.

LAW PROHIBITS
BOXING MATCH
Mayor Trevor and Chief DcJaeger
DO Not Oppose Sport, But
Must Enforce Rule.

In explanation OF the prohibition
OF the boxing match to have been
staged at the Turner hall last Mon
day evening, Mayor c. A Trevor
and Chief Ben DeJaeger stated to-
day that they were not opposed to
boxing exhibitions, but were OPP
posed to law violations.
Both city officials believe that
boxing is a manly sport and art
and do not object to the pTcsenta-
ton of the sport, if it does not in
terfere with the law The officials
minated that they would be in
favor of a revision of the law. May
or Trevor this morning said:
''The law is plain. II prohibits
boxing matches for which admis-
sion is charged. AS long as the
Jaw remains as it is and l am
mayor there will be no boxing eX-
hibitiOns, for which admissions are
charged, held in Moline"
State law does not bar wrestling
matches, said Chief DeJaeger. and
they may be held in Moline.

First steps towards relieving the
situation for the unemployed were
taken yesterday by the Moline city
commission, when it approved Of

The commission favored the
sidewalk petitions, which will
mean construction of nearly

sition for tae new administration

cided that such a step would be
too costly.

VERDUN HERO rs
BACK IN MOLINE
MINUS ONE LIMB

Rene VanKeersblick, hero of
Verdun and the Somme, who has
been spending the last week with
relatives and friends of Moline, re-
turned to Camp DeS Moines to be
fitted with an artificial leg to re-
place the one which he lost while
serving in action. The story of the
local lads bravery is only one of
many, yet somehow it is overflow
ing with pathos. VanKeersblick
was born in Belgium and with his
brother came to America in early
boyhood Both were in business
here when the United States en-
tered the war. Rene enlisted i'm
mediateIy and was soon sent over
seas. He fought for time on the
Verdun front and later on the
Somme.
He was going over the top one
day facing terrific machine gun
fire when he fell into a she'll hole,
his leg sticking out above the
ground. Promptly Hun bullets
found the target. His comrades
by poison gas, succeeded in dragging
himself to a point where Red Cross
men found him. 1t was found nee
essary to amputate the leg above
the knee. OF the loss of his leg the
Moliner says little, of his bravery
he speaks even less, just smiling
cheerfully and saying that he's glad
it took so many Huns to get him.
Rene expects to return TO Moline
to reside after he leaves the hos
pital His brother, Richard, has
also just returned from camp.

ell of Boy Scouts in America, as
some three hundred fathers and
sons were seated around the ban
quet table in the First Congrega-

1sr. Hazlitt summed up the three
potential facts which distinguish a
real scout. when he said:
- real scout knows now 10 play,
he knows how to be a good friend
and he wants to, and does. help a
friend. He is dominated by a
spirit of service and his mission is
to help. the other fellow along with
his struggle Real scouting re-
qufres courage and ability. A
youth determines what sort of
man he is between the ages of y
and IS years. If your character
is not formed by the time you
reach your 18th year your chances
Of becoming d man are mighty

NO ACTION FOR
WILCOX TAKEN
East Moline Council Fails to Ap-
prove or DisapprOve OF Dis
charge OF Police Chief.

East Moline city council last ev-
ening failed to either approve or
disapprove the resignation of w. H.
Wilcox, as chief of police of the
East Moline department. Wilcox
was released from his duties by re-
quest of Mayor G. F. Johnson last
week.
The council meeting lasted but
fifteen minutes and in that time
Mayor Johnson read his letter ask
the resignation of Wilcox, but the
order was refuted by only one. AL
derman Joe GiesIer. who acted as
chief executive during the absence
of Johnson and under whose adj
ministration Wilcox was named
chief, declared that he considered
WillcoX's services of the highest
and that he found him a capable
man for the position.
Several of the aldermen express
sed themselves in favor of Mayor
JOhnsOn's move. Alderman Newton
asked for more explicit reasons for
the discharge of the chief Rea-
sons for the release stand as given
in the mayors communication. in
efficiency, improper conduct in Of
flee and other good and sufficient
reason" The meeting was called
as it is legally necessary that the
mayor do so in such a case.
The council neither confirmed
nor disapproved of the appointment
Of Frank Maberry as chief of police
to succeed Wilcox. Confirmation
of the appointment will probably
be taken up at the regular council
meeting next Monday night.
Following the Wilcox matter, the
council adopted an ordinance
which provides for the elimination
of designating lots in that part of
the city where the Root & Van Der
vOort company has erected build
ings.
