Of President Peres recently made to
the board of education Is adopted and
that when $500 900 Is provided for, the
Memphis schools. the Vocational high

new plant. Then we will invite. the
gentlemen of the survey to come back

All in all. the survey with reference
to the Vocational high school is an able

rank among Americas leading cities in

Tests Being Made
 to Check Accidents

Tests of all kinds of safety devices and means to decrease automobile ac- cidents, are now being made by the underwriters laboratories, aided by the National Safety Council. Besides saving some 10000 lives annually, the automobile insurance underwriters say good set of safety devices would save millions of dollars
 Involved in the tests are laminated glass for windshield construction, windshield cleaning appliances, the construction of steering gears and the complex subject of headlamp dinners and diffusers. At the same time the National Safety Council, through it's local branches, is making study of all traffic accidents. The application of safety appliances has been accepted by insurance compa- nies, for redusctions in insurance rates.
 A boon to the motorist in cold weather is the hot water heater in vented by a group of automobile n gineers. It is designed to eliminate use of anti-freezing solutions or with drawing the water on cold nights. It is automatic keeping the water in the cooling system warm while the

Tiny pus sacs form around the
roots of the infected tooth. These
pus sacs give off continual stream
of poison which is absorbed into the
system. 1t usually attacks the weak
est spot it can find. Sometimes it
may be the stomach and digestive
organs, again it may be the eye or
ear or throat, or even the spine.
Many cases of so-called "rheuma-
tism" are undoubtedly caused by alb
scessed teeth. When the poisons con-
gregate in a muscle or joint, the
pain, swelling and inflammation
which follow have ordinarily been
diagnosed in the past as "rheuma-
tism." But medical and dental
science now knows that you have to
look to the roots of the teeth very
often to get at the real root of the
diseased condition.
Needless to say, taking medicine
for disease which is really caused
by an abscessed tooth, can only re-
suit in temporary relief at the best.
The X-Ray has done wonderful
work in disclosing abscessed teeth.
An X-Ray picture, properly taken,
will soon disclose the broken-down
tissue caused by the Assessed con-
dition. Having determined the ex-
act location of the trouble the expert
dentist is then in a position to go
ahead and cure the diseased condi-
ton and do it so it will be perma-
