She has been in the Cook county
Jail for two years now and il she
could have her two little children
with her. she told the writer today,
she would rather live there than any
where else in the world.
The best home she ever knew be-
fore was an old shack hardly fit for
cattle. She did not even have a
looking glass, not to mention any of
the other accessories of a wOman's
toilet. Now she has learned that
woman of forty can have pretty hands
and she manicures her nails daily.
She had her first pair of shoes in
Jail. Her best foot covering up TO
that time had been a pair of old felt
slippers with strips of carpet or cloth
wound around them in winter as she
tramped through the snow. When
she goes TO court again she will go
wearing her first hat and her first
silk dress, gifts Of the wife OF one of
her lawyers.
She had her first decent bed in
jail. An old bunk made of rags and
quilts was the place she had slept.
Such things as clean sheets, blankets
and pillows she had never seen until
she became a prisoner in the jail.
She has learned her first words of
English, although she had lived in this
country more than five years pre-
vious to her arrest. Now she can
read a little and can write a credit
able letter in English. The Italian
dialect she spoke before was under

organized churches with 4412 other
groups of believers and an actual
membership of 206,043 members and
v.,5S3 catecumens in the sixteen coun-
tries overseas. That this work aside
from its religious side, is valuable
can be realized because of the state
ments of the representative of the
American bankers in Pekin, China,
when he says: 81 have come to be-
lieve that Americas greatest contribu-
ton to China, greater even than
Americas political friendship, is the
work of the American Christian mis-

TRAVELLING CLINIC
FOR COUNTIES
SCARCITY OF RESIDENT oPER.
AToRs CITED AS REASON FOR
PROVIDING TRAVELLING STAFF

Tentative plans for travelling dental
clinics to work in the counties were
made at the closing session Of the
Maryland State Dental Associations
annual meeting at the Southern Hotel.
Recommendation for such clinics
were made by the president, DIR. B. B.
lde, in his report, following a com
munication from Dr. S. d. Ford. Of
La Plata, deputy State health com
missioner, and were unanimously
adopted.
Declaring that as a Statewide prop
osition the organization has "only
scratched the surface" of education in
oral hygiene among children of school
and pre-sehool age in Maryland, Dr.
lde said that Of those examined so
to 90 per cent. need attention.
In st. Mary's county there are only
two dentists to a population of 10000,
and in others the proportion is one to
5000. Tubercular and throat clinics
in the, counties are widely patronized,
he added, so it is probable the dental
clinics would be successful. One coun-
ty, Baltimore, already has a travelling
clinic supported by a Children's Aid
Association.
The new president of the organiza-
tion was authorized to appoint com
mittee to arrange further details.
which will froI,,da n ,o.ra,,. h,..a =,

operation of the clinics, at the next
