The day Of the quack

R. Percy Howe, president Of
the American Dental Associa-
ton in his annual address at
the first general session Of the
convention which is being held
at the Hotel Mayflower. Dent
lists are becoming scientifically
minded and no longer are
hampered by old beliefs.
cit requires no stretch of the
imagination to realize that the old
days are passed, remarked DR..
Howe. I'VE no longer control
moisture by napkins, file coins for
amalgam, shape our own instru-
ments by hand. Today our offices
are replete with devices for rapiiity,
effectiveness, accuracy and pain
Iessness of procedure. The pride OF
earlier days was manipulative skin;

Prayer by Chaplain
The morning session was opened

DRY UNIT IS
DRAF TING
MEASURE

Legal experts of the prohi-
bition unit are drafting a dras
tic bill to end the bootleg
traffic in the District of
Columbia, it was learned to-
day.
Senator Robert B. Howell of
Nebraska, outstanding critic of pro-
hibition enforcement in Washing
ton, has given the legal division OF
the prohibition unit the task Of in
cooperating in comprehensive bill
the dry officials ideas Of what is
needed to make the Capital bone
dry.
No Immediate Action
II hope, by this method. to OBJ
tain the ideas of the prohibition
enforcement officials in an effective
form" Senator Howell said. II do
not think the bill will be ready for
several weeks. but there is no hurry
for no action can be taken while
the Senate is considering the tariff
bill"
The Nebraskan said he would try
to get action on the proposed bin
soon after the Senate is through
with the tariff legislation. 1t is
doubtful, however. whether the bill
will be acted upon until the regular
session.
One reason is that the Senate
hopes to take a recess before the
regular session begins, when the
scheduled business of the special
session is completed. Another rea-
son is that the bill would be sent
TO the District Committee for hear
ings before the Senate would act
upon it.
Enforcement Lax Here
The District Committee, with no
urgent business on hand and with
out a chance of seeing any general
legislation sent to the House for pas
sage before December, Is in no
hurry to take up the bill.
Senator Howell conferred with
other Senators and with Federal and
District officials before deciding to
give the job of drafting the dry bill
to the prohibition unit. The bill is
the result of charges made by the
Nabraskan on the floor of the Sen
ate last month, when he declared
that enforcement of the prohibition
law Is lax in the District.

PR0MP ACTION
PROMISED BY
PATRICK

Following a hearing yester-
day in which the head of one
traction company refused out
right to discuss the Public
Utilities Commission s pro-
posed merger, and the other
voiced opinions mot as a COM
panv official, but as an indl-
vidual," Gen. Mason NJ.
Patrick, the commission chair
man. indefinitely suspended
hearings on the l0-cent fare
increase petitions.
General Patrick said there would
be no undue delay" by the COM
mission in arriving at a decision,
but pointed out that many factors
had to be considered.
Yesterdays hearings were devoted
to discussion Of the merger ex-
clusively President John II. Hanna,
of the Capital Traction Company.
;old the commissioners he would
talk of mergers only with com
mittees Of Congress, as he felt that
Congress alone had the power to
deal with them.
Attacked by Ham
Folio wing Hanna's carefully
Dhrased defiance of the commission,
President William r. Ham, of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, attacked the merger,
speaking 'as an individual"
1t would he impossible to achieve
financial stability for the proposed
new traction company under the
commission merger plan, said
Ham.
He objected to q fixed valuation
of properties which could be used
as a basis for rate adjustments in
the proposed plan. The merger
scheme proposed a. year ago in
cluded in its provisions a valuation
of s50,000,00
That scheme was acceptable at
that time to Ham but he is not in
favor of a revision of it now. he
said, because conditions have
changed"
Savings Slow
L
savings could be affected through
economies of operating jointly, Ham
told the commissioners and said that
much money would have to be spent
in any scheme whatsoever to merge
the street car companies and the
merged company might as A conse-
quence have to raise fares for time
at least
1t is proposed in the new scheme
to no longer require the traction
company to pay crossing policemen's
salaries but Ham said that would be
only a slight gain.
IF they keep on adding signal
lights there will be very few cross
ing officers left" he said.
He also told the commissioners
that he was willing to discuss the
merger officially with a congress
sional committee.

IS
SOON To FIX
PREPARATIONS
BY B. c. FORBES

From one of the four Americans
going to Europe to take part in
the German Reparations Confer
ence 1 have obtained this inter-
esting information:
The intention is to arrive at an
agreement as to the amount which
Germany should be called upon
to pay annually, and to spe-
city the number of years these
annual payments should be kept
up.
F'inanciers declare there is a
great difference between these
two tasks--the naming of grand
total and the naming of so much
per year for a certain number of
years.
Nor do they contemplate draw
ing up any definite plan for the
so-called "commercializing of
German reparation bonds.
That subject may be informally
discussed; it may even be formally
discussed. But it is not believed
by Americas representatives that
conditions have yet ripened for
attempting to market any colossal
quantity of German reparation
obligations That. they believe, is
a matter for future action.
The American delegation, con-
sisting of j p. Morgan and Owen
d. Young, with Thomas w. La.
mont, of Morgan's, and Thomas
N, Perkins, of Boston. as alter.
mates. will sail for Europe hopeful
that tangible results can be
achieved in the direction of reach
ing an agreement on the amount
and the number of annual pay
ments. IL this can be done, then
1t will be a relatively simple
matter for Germany to make
arrangements with her creditors
to anticipate payments whenever
she feels capable of doing 50
Also. it is believed the time will
come when investors in America
and elsewhere will feel sufficiently
responsive to warrant efforts to
market some part of the repara. .
ton obligations.
1t Is strongly felt, however,
that to try TO force such securi.
ties upon the market until inves-
tors are in the right frame of
mind would be to court failure.
with an unfortunate effect upon
future possibilities of commercial.
izing the bonds.
owen D, Young probably will
prove a great pacifier at this
gathering of conflicting interna.
tional interests, just as he did at
the Dawes Commission sessions.
What Mr.. Morgan ana Mr.. La
mont may say concerning the
financial aspects of any proposed
settlements will carry great
weight. 1t Is not an exaggera.
ton to state that unless j. p.
Morgan & Co. sponsored the is.
suance of reparation bonds in this
country, any attempt by others
to do so would invite failure.
