Emma Way. and vocal duet, Mr..
Bowman and Mrs. Hall. Some of
the cid loved songs were sung at
the close, which was greatly en-
ioyed. Their refreshments consist
ed of cake and coffee, the cake be-
ing a real wonder of culinary ar.
It was made by Mrs. Matte Hill,
one of the charter members Of the
class, and was certainly a beauty,
and quite as good as it looked.
The favorS were arrows, decorated
with cupids and hearts. and the
napkins bore the same decorations,
aus this was to have been a Valen-
tine party, and had to be postpon-
ed on account of illness.
The hoStesses were Mrs. Rug

ablo to attend her daughter, Miss

Some of them have been shut in
most of the winter, and this splen-

treat. They feel very grateful to
Mr.. Pierce for his thoughtfulness,
and we hope his example may be
followed by men in other towns.
We should not forget that we are
all growing old, and should DO all
we can to make the last miles OF

Lecture by Bishon Hughes a Great
Treat for All

The lecture, "Thc Biography Of
a Boy by Bishop Edwin II.
Hughes, of Boston; to which 4
West Burke audience listened with
great pleasure and interest, Tues
day evening, was one of the very
best things of its kind that has
ever been heard in town. Bishop
Hughes knows boys, and under
stands them, and development
as few men do, and wish every
father and mother in the village
might have heard this lecture. 1t
was not alone what he said, but
the way he said it, the fire, tho
humor, and the Snlendid personal
ity of the man, that Will make the
evening of March 7. a memorable
one, in the ANIMALS of West Burke
We are proud to note that in spite
of the fat that the weather was
everything that it should not have
been. the ball was we'll filled,
which proves without a doubt that
some of our people know a really
good thir~' and are bound to hear
it, when they get the chance.

NEW HAVEN ROAD SHOWS
 ITS BUSINESS Is GAINING

Verbal fireworks were missing h the meeting of stockholders oc the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad at New Haven Wednesday and the proceedings were the most placid h the last dozen years. President E. J. Pearson. was called to New York before tho meeting cpened and his address which arg2lihsd inc eompany's annual statement sent d. rect to stockholders by mail was read hv vice President E. C. BuckIand. The latter added sone tlptto-thc-Tninute figures of freight traffic over the system which he said were encouraging. a. gain over the corresponding period last year being noted.
 Hagop Bogigian, of Boston. made re marks about the need Of the New Haven road having representation on the Pcs ton and Maine board Of directors to pre- vent the former being placed 7t ais aGyantage if the New York Central lines zlt control of the latter" and \ MaxcY IiflIar of New Haven wanted the method of elecHng directors charged. In th's 1 latter suggestion Mir. Bucl:laad laughed and did not entertain a motion. He had previously explained to George Smith Of l Massachusetts that to ;f9ni;sh proxies corporation laws would have to oe chang

 Tha directors were re-e,ectei. 9oL514 to

 as follows:
 It win interest you to know that for 1 the past month os March the New Ha- ven operated at ratio Of about 7T.71 ! in comparison with Q ratio Of 95.S7 dur ] ine, the same month a year ago. The net | income after all expenses rentals. anf i charges is estimated a. eFSout s72.000 compared to a deficit during the same
 month year ago of st,6o0.22i. The vol unle Of freight showed an increase. While l the expenditures for maintenance were
 not as much as they would normally have
 been. nevertheless they arc in propor-

 Father Of Modern Dentistry.
 The twentieth-century dentist learns that Abulcasis described in tenth cen tury an operation by which artificial crowns may be attached to adjacent sound teeth. Fauchard is well called the father of modern dentistry. His mo- mentous book published in TIPS establish ed a new dental art in the world, an art which was destined to develop into one of the most brilliant and helpful sci ences. It was also Fauchard who sug- gested porcelain as an Improvement over hone and ivory in the manufacture Of artificial teeth. Previously, through the centuries, artificial teeth had been made from human teeth, the tusks of thee ele- p4aant and the hippopotanus or other bone or ivory.
 The operation of transplanting teeth 1 is usually attributed to John Hunter, | 1T28-1793, who practiced 1t extensively and gave to it additional promin ence by 1 transplantirg human tooth ts< @le comb | of a cock. This operation however. is ] alluded to by Ambrose Pare 1509-159o. l While the French made much progress 1 in dentistry in the eighteenth century, l 1t was the next century which witnessed 1 the dawn of dental science in Great Britain. It has been well established that until the latter part of the eighteenth l century extraction was the only opera l ton for the cure of toot1ache Tern. l porary relief from toothache was ob- 1 tained by the ancients by many strange remedies For instance, the Chinese ir ] the peak days of their glorious civiliz-
 ation had this peculiar, if not appetiz- 1 inc one:
 One roasts a bit of garlic, crushes i 1 between the teeth and afterwards mixes 1t with chopped horseradish seeds. re ducing the whole to a paste with ru man milk; one then forms 1t into pills there are to be introduced into the nos,
 on the side to that where the pain s sit
 uated.
 Pioneers In America.
 The pioneers Of America had to de
 pend on the crudest of dentistry. for 1
 was not until WooIfendaIe came iron
 England in 1766 that this country has
 a professional practitioner. Woo-fendaI
 was followed by Josiah Flagg, who va
 the first dentist native to the Unite
 States John Greenwood was the frs
 American to tinker with artificial teeti l and his ,Sir1keririZ was 50 flyod tfa !
 Of the first sets of artificial teeth fo
 George Washington.
 Dentistry made rapid strides in Amer lea following the advent of these pior eers and 1920 found about one hundre , dentists in actual practice in this cour , try. Until dental science became frrnl : established as an important part of th ' healing art in the nineteenth centur-
 dental instruments and equipueut
 were welded together and manufacture : 1 chiefly by blaoksmiths, Iocksmiths ar z jewellers. Those who suffered from u : pangs of toothache had the choice . going either to their blacksmith or the ' barber to have the troublesome teeth e, i. tracted. This old panacea of extractic - for all tooth ills explains why the mout)
