The annual meeting of the Augusta
Free Dental Clinic Aid will be held
at $50 O'Clock. Tuesday afternoon
in the assembly hall at the Y. NJ. C.
\. building. Election of officers will
occur at the meeting.
1t was about four years ago that
the Smith kindergarten Mothers
Club realized the need of having a
free dental clinic for the benefit of
those children in the city who were
in need of dental care. but who We're
unab BILE to receive such attention due
to financial stress of the parents.
And it was then the efforts of this
club that the Augusta Free Dental
Clinic was procured, to be held once
a week. All of the dentists of AT
eusta We're very willing TO cooperate
and contributed one afternoon of
each week for the clinic work, oper-
their own equipment and materials
without charge.
The clinic was supervised through
board of directors composed of all
the dentists, and DR.. w. G. Thomas,
who had long felt the need for a dem
tai clinic. through his contact with
the schools. was named superintend-
ent of the clinic by the board Of dir
ectors The clerical work was car
ried on and managed through the
Dental Clinic Aid, which was COM
posed of representatives of every
club and organization in the city.
After a busy year in 1922, 1t was
still found that further work of this
nature was needed, so a committee
from the Dental Clinic Aid brought
the matter before the Board of Edu-
cation. The board feeling the need
of this work, appropriated the sum
of 5000 to carry on the program OF
the Clinic until the annual meeting
on January l, 1924. DR.. Walter G.
Thomas, the school dentist, was en-
gagged to do the work.
At the completion of this year, the
matter again came before the board
for discussion, at which time the sum
of $500 was appropriated to carry on
the clinic to January l, 1925. and the
same amount was later appropriated
for the years 1925 and 1925.
DR.. Thomas continued to hold the
clinics until December, 1925, when he
resigned, having accepted a position
where he would be unable to carry
on the clinic work. At this time the
services of DR.. B. L. Hodgkins were
procured and the clinics have been
held at his office up to the present.
This is a worthy work and all per-
sons interested are cordially invited
to come.

Believes 1t Result
Of System Built Up
By Liquor Interests

Washington, June 13-(P)-The ex-
penditure OF approximately $1,000 900
in the Pennsylvania Republican pri-
mary, as testified before the senate
investigating committee and the rec
ord as a constitutional lawyer Of
former Senator Pomerene. now a
Democratic candidate for the senate
from Ohio, were attacked in two
statements issued today by Wayne s.
Wheeler, general counsel for the
Anti Saloon League.
OF the Pennsylvania primary Mr..
Wheeler said the expense fund was
the logical result of a system fas-
tened on the state by the liquor iu-
terests." Declaring the senate judi
Ciary committee in its 1918 investi-
cation learned that the liquor group
raised a million dollars in Pennsyi-
vania alone to control elections" Mr..
Wheeler added that you cannot re-
move the poison from the political
system in five or six years" He said
it was doubtful if the senate commit
tee would learn how much was Con
tributed by the wet group to nomi-
nate" Representative William S.
Ware, the successful senatorial cam
didate.
Mr.. Wheeler said the record of Mr.
Pomerene docs not agree with the
praise given him by some partisan
newspapers which laud him as a
great constitutional lawyer" and that
his record in the senate shows that
his prejudice in favor of liquor con-
siderably warped his legal judg-
ment."
Citing Mr.. Pomerene's remarks as
they appear in the Congressional
Record to show that he and the
supreme court differed at times on
the constitutionality of laws, MI
Wheeler added:
Mr.. Pomerene would never be
considered as A candidate of the
Democratic party in Ohio, were it not
for the fact that mistaken party

VETERAN SKIPPER DIES
Fred Clough, so, Was Sailor in Early Days in Pacifc-ThrilIing Sea Wreck Survivor.

San Francisco, July IS L9 - Captain" Fred Clough, so, died yesterday in an humble lodging house on Kearny street, and his passing recalled another gripping epic of the sea.
 Sixty years ago the captain" was a sailor on board the good old clipper ship Hornet, in the Cali fornia gold trade. On the ship was Henry Ferguson, Bible student. The Hornet caught fire in the South Pacific doldrums and burned to the waters edge. The crew took to the small boats. All were lost but the 16 who were in Coughs boat. Ferguson was among the saved.
 For 43 days they drifted. alter nately storm belabored and becalm- ed. Their food and water gave out in a few days. Some of them died, half mad, and their boots were eaten by the survivors. A sail was spread to catch the water from the sudden storms.
 Ferguson sickened and sank rapidly. Clough, horny y-knuckled sailorman, pillowed the dying mans head in his lap and sat with him through the long days and nights, giving him the bits of food that he had saved from his own pitiful dole and catching the storm water for drinking.
 Clough brought Ferguson through while the others died about them. They finally drifted onto an island in the Hawaiian group. Mark Twain who was visiting the islands at the time, heard of them and sought out Clough to hear of his experience. From it Twain made one of his famous stories.
 Ferguson died a few days later as result of exposure but a brother of the student, a noted preacher in Maine, heard of

 III, Called to Court

New York, July 15 Pl-Charles W. Morse, aged financler, must plead to an indictment returned almost five years ago charging him and others with using the mails to de- fraud in the sale of steamship com pany stock. When the case was ealeld today Federal Judge Holmes directed that Morse present himself for pleading a week from today although defense counsel argued that his client is a helpless invalid under persecution"
 Decision to call Morse was reached after protracted argumnet during which Fletcher Dobyns, special as. sistant attorney general of Chicago demanded the forfeiture of $20,000 bail posted by Morse in 1922.
 Counsel for Morse said that his client was more than 70 years old, had suffered two strokes of paralysis could not walk without assistance. has small powers of comprehension. can speak only with difficulty and is virtually gone" he said Morse was now in Bath, Me.
 Attorneys for the government re- piled that representatives of the gov- ernment sent to see Morse have been refused entrance to his home and a doctor was sent to examine him re- ported that such symptoms as he had of paralysis were of the sort that could be simulated. They recalled that Morse was released from At lanta penitentiary during President Taft's administration because of ill., ness. Morse, they said agreed to die in six months, but failed to live up to his end of the contract"
