QUACKSATTACkED
AT DENTAL DINNER
New York Official Urges Dis
trict Society to War
on Frauds.

Members of the medical and dental
profession were urged TO cooperate
to the fullest extent in driving from
all communities the irresponsible and
quack practitioners and the diploma
mill school, by DIR. Augustus s. Down
ing, commissioner of education of the
State Of New York, who addressed
about $50 members of the District
Dental Society, at the annual dinner
at the Columbia Country Club last
night.
DR.. Downing said that there had
been two diploma mill" schools in
Washington, and that his expose of
one had resulted in a threat to him
OF a 100000 lawsuit, which, he
added, never materialized. He praised
the new District dental regulations
and stated that the medical and den
tai professions owned 1T to the public
to put quacks and charlatans out OF
business.
DR.. Downing declared that with the
increased scientific knowledge and
the recognition of the important part
each profession plays in relation to
general public health; the dental and
medical professions had overcome q
breach that heretofore separated
them. He urged the same academic
requirements and pre-professional
educational requirements for both
medical and dental professions.
Others who spoke were Senator
Copeland Of New York, Senator Ship
stead of Minnesota. DIR. Henry Young
president of the Dental Society, and
DR.. II. j. Nichols. who acted as toast
master. DR.. w. S. Benedict was
chairman of the banquet committee
and was assisted by DR.. Charles P
Bassett, DR.. w. c. Camslier and DIR
II. v. Meloy.

MIDDLE WEST SHAKEN.
Office Buildings Tremble in Several
Large Cities.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 2S.-An earth
quake severe enough to cause build
ings to quaver was felt tonight in
the section of the Middle West east
of Illinois, as far north as La Cross
Wis., and as far south as Kentucky
The most severe tremors were ex-
perienced in Michigan, Ohio, and
Indiana.
The shocks in the middle West
States were distinct for a period OF
from 80 seconds to or minutes.
ONCE Buildings Shaken.
The quake was recorded on the
seismograph of the University OF
Michigan, and the Chicago Weather
Bureau also recorded it unofficially
In the cities, including Detroit
Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus
Cleveland, Indianapolis and Chicago
the tremors were violent enough tc
cause Office buildings to tremble
slightly.
In Chicago the vibration was OBJ
served only along the north lake
shore, where hundreds of people
thought there had been an explosion
and deluged newspaped Offices with
inquiries. Apparently the downtown
business district, the region of sky
scrapers, did not feel the shock, as
there were no inquiries from this Sec
tion or from the South or West
Sides.

VALUE OF NATURE STUDY
STRESSED IN LECTURE

Importance of nature study in the
development of character cannot be
stressed too greatly, Guy c. Caldwell,
Colorado naturalist, declared in a
lecture last night held under the

From wild life and the self-con-
fidence that a knowledge of il creates
we draw benefits beyond calculation.

Suddenly, according to each of these
individuals, the District Building began
to sway from side to side. Mothersead
thought he was dizzy. He recalled hav-

thought it disagreed with him. Trower
thought of the cigar. Mrs. Hazel was
wondering if she was really feeling a
swaying.
This has a humorous aspect, now it
is past but there was a tensity in the
surcharged atmosphere at the time.
Each started to speak at once. Before
Mothersead could open his mouth,
Trower said; II feel the same thing

distinct feeling that the building was
actually rocking. And a more nerve
straining 4 minutes was never put in
by any OF them, they said. Because
they had to stick to their posts.
The time was from 9:23 to 9:27.
From what they say, there is no
doubt at all that the upper portion
of the District Building distinctly felt
the tremor. The lower floors, how
ever, did not feel it at all. Down
stairs, every one took it as a joke at
the start, not becoming convinced
until several calls had been received
asking information as to the tremoI
at the police department switchboard
on the first floor.

We were literally on top of the

Prof. O'Connor said that he would

which time he will have thoroughly
studied the three distinct phases of

Past Records.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, February 2S.
DR. AdoIph knopf. professor of ge-
ology at Yale, said tonight that the
extent OF the earth tremors, felt
through the northeastern part of the
United States tonight, would indicate
that it was the greatest in extent and
intensity since the earthquake which
shook the eastern part of this coun-
try in 1855.
Between the time of the settlement
of the New England colonies and 1855
there were EARTHQUAKES of varying
intensity in New England" said Prof.
Knopf. Most of these were confined
to New England SO far as is known,
but the records show that the quake
of 1855 was felt over about the same
area as that of tonight.
"Since that time there have been
quakes of unusual severity, notably
the Chesleston, s. c.. quake of 1885,
and the California earthquake of 1906.
But the extent Of these was not near
ly as great as the reports of tonight's
tremors would indicate it to have
been, although in both cases there
was greater intensity and consider
able destruction of life and prop
erty."
