DENTAL BRIDCEWORK
UNDER COMPENSATION
Man Who Has False Teeth
Knocked Out Can
Have Others.

Is dental bridgework in the mouth a
part of the anatomy? Compensation
Commissioner Chandler says it is, upon
which belief he decided favorably this
week in the case of William Wilkie,
who claimed that the Austin Company
of Eastford should pay bills for the re-
placement of dentistry damaged while
working for the company. Commission
er Chandler held that dental bridge
work, when fixed in the mouth, was
anatomica1ly a part of the individual and
therefore should be considered in the
cost of surgical and hospital attention.
Commissioner Chandler referred to
decision of Commissioner Beers of New
Haven, in which the latter held that an
artificial leg was not part of mans
anatomy, and said that dental bridge
work was more permanent.

One CONGRESSMAN
Gets Addition Even Though
House Rejects Bill to
Increase Seats.

Washington, Jan. 21.-At the end of
the most turbulent session of the pres
ent Congress, the House late Wednes-
day adopted the re-apportionment bill
with an amendment limiting its member
ship for the next 10 years to the present
total of 435.
Right at the start the effort was
made literally to knock the bill in the
head by striking out the enacting clause.
1t started a row during which the
House got its feet tangled in parliament
tcry proceeding from which it was
lifted back into an orderly run with
difficulty.
AS the bill stands the states which
will lose representation in the House
are: Missouri, two seats, and Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode
Island and Vermont. one each. These
II seats will be shifted to eight states
in this order: California, three; Michi-
gan, two; Ohio, two; and Connecticut,
New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas and
Washington, one each.

New York, Jan. 21.-One dollar a

for his personal expenses is what
Charles NJ. Schwab, head of the Beth
lehem Steel Company, soaked the gov
ernment for acting as director general
of the Emergency Shipping Fleet, &C
cording to testimony before the Walsh
Congressional investigating committee
here yesterday A voucher for that
amount made out to personal expenses
of an officer of the Bethlehem Ship
Building corporation" who turned out
to be Schwab, was found in the COM
pany offices by expert accountants en-
ployed to audit the affairs of the fleet
corporation.
Schwab was Immediately requested to
appear before the investigating COM
mittee next week and explain the vouch-
er if there is any explanation to be had.
Col. A. H. Abadie, charged with un-
earthing the facts, after testifying as to
the voucher, began to extol Schwab and
told the committee what fine man
Schwab is and how he wouldn't con-
done any injustices to the government
by his company. The committee mem
bers apparently thought otherwise and
will ask Schwab to tell how he come to
pense for one month and how it was
covered up as charge against shipping
instead Of running it through on a
regular expense voucher.
Colonel Abadie, who formerly was
auditor for the feet board, was re-
moved, he testified, when he began to
dig into the affairs of Schwabs COM
pany. He was ''framed'' and sent off
on detached duty, he told the commit
tee, but nevertheless experts employed
by him had uncovered the voucher and
reported it to him. Chairman Payne
of the shipping board stopped the audit
of the Bethlehem company, he said, but
afterward reinstituted it but in such a
way as to be confusing.

Matinee Music Club.

ndt4uCS huolC O1uDs
The Matinee Music Club was host
ess to the Junior Matinee Club in
ste ted meeting Saturday afternoon
at the home CT the president, Miss
Willie Belle Mayes. Being in the
nature of a get-together meeting,
with one mutual purpose, and that,
to raise and sustain musical stand
ards, a cooperative spirit marked the
coming together of the two organi-.
cations. The reading of Federation
Aims" as set forth in recent re-
vision by the Board of Managers of
the National Federation of Music
Clubs, while in convention at Akron,
Ohio, proved an incentive to new res
oultions with reference to club
work. The revised outline was as
follows: ITO create a genuine ap-
probation and understanding Oh mu-
sic, ITO work for credits in public
Schools ITO bring to all communi-
ties the cultural value of outside
artists, ITO send speakers and art
lists to the smaller towns and rural
communities, -" To take GOOD music
to the picture shows" ITO make
America the music center of the
world"
The lesson period devoted to the
study of Gypsy music, with Miss
Louise Adams, leader brought out
many interesting points relative to
the music of the wander-loving folk.
The mystery of their origin, their ir-
responsible natures and nomadic ten-
denotes have made them an enig-
NAUTICAL subject; as q result, little is
known of their artistic attainments.
Having no Independent school of mu-
sic to preserve their traditions and
advance their theories, lacking in
this important factor for establish
mcnt in the world of music, the race
has not, and cannot lay claim to the
musical recognition granted other
nationalities, nevertheless, they are
due a greater amount of oredit for
their musical achievements than is
generally conceded to them. An
emotional people, their musical ut
terances come from the heart with \
spontaneity that thrills the heare.
It was this same element of melodic
impulse that touched sympathetic
chord in the heart of the great Hun
garian master, List, and compelled
him to present to the world through
the medium of his noble rhapsodies
and other musical interpretations,
the simple, yet sincere message of the
humble Gypsy.

LEGION TO WATCH
FOR GERMAN DOPE
Posts Are Urged to Keep Lookout for
Revival of TeutOnic
Propaganda.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 21.-Ameri
can Legion posts were asked last night
by the Legion's national headquarters
to watch for a revival of German pro.
paganda.
A bulletin sent all state headquar.
tiers by the national headquarters said
that mass meetings in several places
including Omaha, have been planned
as zone of the first national maifesta-
tons" of the propaganda campaign,
the object of which, the bulletin out
lined as follows:
disruption between the United
States and our allies, particularly
France and Great Britain, by the turn
ing of American popular sentiment
against those governments, and,
"Methodical creation of a powerful
national political machine by the ANAL
gamation of the disloyal elements of
of power in American politics."
"One of the first national manifesto
tions of this activity will probably take
the form of mass meetings." the bulle-
tin continued, ~"ostensibly in protest
against the occupation of the Rhine by
French negro troops. The alleged
presence OF french cOIOnldlS is TO De
used as a motive to turn American
sentiment against France. Negro
troops were withdrawn from the
French army of occupation months
ago. Their conduct was excellent, ac-
cording to official reports from the
American ambassador at Paris.
identified with this movement are
individuals whose ~disloyalty and whose
efforts in the interest of Germany have
been notorious in the past and who
are now again in direct communication
with Berlin.
National headquarters has received
reports of pro-German activities from
many sections which appear to con-
meet directly with the national propa-
ganda outlined.

to make note of any dramatic activi-
ties in their communities and to for
