We hadn't a thing to amuse our

diversions for us. One morning, after
we had retold our best stories, Archer
suggested;

Our laughter interrupted him, but
the doctor agreed with him at once:
Great idea! Well get a little ex-

GRAHAM To CALL
COAL COMMITTEE
viii Take Up Plan to Avert
Famine of Fuel in
District.

Inc committee appointed by the
commissioners yesterday to see what
steps can be taken to avert coal
! FAMINE in the District this winter
pfonably will hold its first meeting
tomorrow.
Il. Z. Graham. chairman Of the com
'hi''ee. said ne would endeavor to
get the committee together in the
rooms Of the Board Of Trade at 10
CLOCK tomorrow morning
The first aim of the committee will
be to gather ali the information pos

It's normal supply and what action

or the dealers to speed up shipments.
Utilities Getting supply.
Inc two street railway companies
anu the Potomac Electric Power Com
pahy are receiving sufficient amounts
OF coal for the present. but cannot
perience when winter sets in.
William F.. Ham. president of the
power company. which also furnished
current to the Washington Railway
ana Electric Company, said today
there are about 1000 tons in the
bunkers of the Benning power plapt.
rms is q seven-day supply. The
company, however. is receiving about
as much coal a day as the plant con-
sGmes. thus being able to keep a
week ahead of its needs
Canal Boats Used.
j. H. Hanna, general manager of the
Capital Traction Company, said that
his company gets it's coal by way of
the canal from Cumberland and does
rot expect to run short as long as the
canal boats are in operation. After
December l the Capital Traction must
take it's chances with other con-
sumers who depend on the railroads
for their coal.
Mr.. Ham said he has been able to
make contracts for only about 80 per
cent of the power company's normal
supply of coal. which means that dur
ing the winter it will be necessary
for him to buy in the open market
with all the disadvantages that en-
tails.

10000 IN SCHOOLS
HAVE BAD TEETH
Figures Arrived at by Ex-
animation of 14,314-Den-
fists Treat 1889.

Bad teeth are the most prevalent
of defects of District public school
children. Statistics compiled today

supervising medical inspector. show
that 80 per cent, or 10000 of the
$4,000 elementary school children.
have carious teeth.
These figues were arrived at from
the examination of 14.314 school chill
orators. FIVE thousand three hum
dred and twenty-five of this number
were colored
OF the number of children exam
ined. 1888 were treated by the dental
operators at the four school clinics
located at the Curtis, Cleveland and
Tyler schools and the NJ Street High
School. An average Of two and one
half teeth for each child were filled.
One out of every ten of the children
treated had at least one tooth eN-
tracted. Most of these children. DR..
Murphy pointed out, had never been
to a dentist before.
Colored Suffer More.
1t was ascertained by the dental OPP
school children dc not use a tooth
brush properly Some of them, DR..
Murphy said, may use toothbrush,
but not in a manner that would pre-
vent tooth from decaying. The
teeth of the colored children. the
| medical inspector stated, were in
! worse condition than those of the
white.
Eleven and one -third per cent of the
children examined had unhealthy
gums, while 81 per cent had pyorrhea.
Seven per cent had missing permanent
teeth and GO uer cent had abSceSSeS
at the roots of the teeth.
The need for more dental clinics in
| the schools to treat the thousands Of
children with carious teeth and to
preclude any increase will be stressed
by DR.. Murphy in his annual report
to the board of education September
l. The first years operation of the

need of more operators and the es-
| Enlistment of more clinics.
Saves Parents Expense.
The operation of the school dental
clinics, not only saved the teeth Of
the 1899 children treated but saved
their parents a large expense which
would have been incurred had the
children gone to dentists outside the
cost to each of the children treated
was about s2.3g. while if they had gone
to a private dentist. DR.. Murphy be-
lieves, the cost would have amounted
to more than So each.
Operation of the dental clinics also
earned approximately $4,000, despite
the fact that the children were treated
at the lowest possible cost. About
] $500 of earnings was used to defray
| the expenses of the accessories of the
dental clinics. thus making the elm
les make a net profit of about $4,000.
