Early A. -asan Dentistry

Among the .ncients the desire to
preserve teeth, to retain loose teeth
and TO disguise dental Disagreement
gave birth to the art of dentistry. I'm
til well into the Nineteenth century
apprenticeship afforded the only means
Of acquiring a knowledge of dentistry.
but in November, 1910, the Baltimore
College Of Dentistry was established.
This Wa the first college In the, world
for Y" systematic education of dentists.
II a.arter Of the Baltimore College
Of Dental Surgery specified that there
should be at least one annual term of
instruction of not less than four
months in length. The first academic
year opened on November 8, 1840 with
five students. instruction was con-
tinued until the latter part of Feb
ruary, and the first class of two stu
dents graduated on March 8, 1S41.

When Mastodon Lived

Naturalists have always supposed
that the American mastodon has been
extinct for at least 10000 years DIR.
W. b. Scott, professor Of geology at
Princeton university, told the National
Academy Of Sciences at Washington
that the elephant-lke animal may
have lived in the state Of New York
only few hundred years before the
time Of Columbus. He arrives at this
conclusion from fossils in northeastern
North America and the fact that
complete skeleton Of mastodon found
near Quito, Ecuador, supplied conyinc
ing proof that the animal had been
killed by Indians not later than the

Discourage "Cry-Baby,"
Advice Given Mother,


The raucous crying OF babies, the
greatest menace to their popularity, In
many cases can be blamed upon moth
ers who themselves were cry babies In
childhood, In their teens and often aft
er marriage, according to Ruth Moore
Morriss, writing In Country Home.
'If mothers would realize the true
Significance Of tears, weeping, except
for legitimate and honorable purposes,
could be stamped out of the race"
says the writer "When a child has
learned In infancy the power Of tears,
they will be used to solicit sympathy
for maladJustment and sheer awk.
wardness, rather than for emotional
relief. t .fr.I s.H na s.T
"A girl will cry because she can't
dance US well MS older girls. She will
weep when her popular elder sister
dashes off to parties and she Is left
alone to the doubtful pleasure OF sleep
or book.
"If the well-meanlng parents still
persist In their earlier attitude and
pay too much attention 10 her tears
they become an even more fixed habit
than they were In early childhood, and
the weeping adoleseent girl becomes
the weeping woman.
Women have not only early train
Ing to combat but all the history OF
the race-,the Idea Of woman as
weakllng and weeping as necessary
feminine trait Not so long ago II
women didn't do certain amount Of
crying they were considered emotion

women who have wept their way into
hysterla. They are difficult 10 cure
because In the early stages they don't
want 10 be cured They found that
tears are an effective means OF avoid

World Has Long Since
Lost Fear of Eclipse


Mankind has always shown deep
interest in an eclipse. Back IN an
tiquity it was source Of great ter
ror, and this fear is still noticeable
among ignorant people, even in our
own country. The belief that an eclipse,
especially Of the sun, was portent
of great evil persisted until compare
lively recent times While 1t could
not be prevented or avoided, 1t caused
much perturbation until the shadow
had passed. l
Possibly the first students of
ecllpses were the Chinese. AS far
back as 2205 B. c., shortly after the
traditional period Of the "deluge," Of
f1cials were appointed in China to reg
ulate the season by the stars. For max
ing mistake in predicting the time
of an eclipse, according to the ancient
records, two of these dignitaries were
"slain without reprieve" H
In time all fear of lunar eclipses
passed from the Chinese mind, until
In 775 B. G. 1t was written that ian
eclipse of the moon Is only a common
thing" Solar eclipses, however, were
different matter, as the same rec
ord goes on, but this of the sun Is
a portent of great evil" and an
nounces circulation to the people II
they do not amend their conduct"
Intelligent people today know that
neither solar nor lunar eclipses have
the slightest effect upon the earth.
The wide study of astronomy in the
more enlightened nations should bring
about the gradual abolition of all
superstition in such matters.
The important feature of the mod
ern eclipse is strictly scientific, aside
from the natural interest which young
and old may display in the obscura-
ton of such prominent objects as the
sun and moon.-Terre Hogte Tribune.

THE MINOR OIL SCANDAL

It is getting so that a senator who owns oil stock is under suspicion. For instance, there is Senator Bing- ham. He is reputed to own stock III an independent oil company, and the independents, which do not im- port oil, want a tariff on the product so as to be protected in the market price, The Standard Oil, the Dutch Shell and the Mellon group of oil companies, on the other hand. in- port oil and do not want a tariff on the product.
 One would expect that Senator Bingham would be inclined to favor the oil tariff under these circum- stances. meaning because he owns independent oil stock. But he is en- titled to a clear name and a clear l conscience in this particular, as all reports from Washington agree that he strongly opposed the proposed 1 dutv on oil. Senator Bingham, in view of these reports. is 10 be con- graduated upon placing the pubic s interest in low oil prices above his own private interest as an owner of indcpcndont oil stock.
 The main interest in this minor oil scandal. so far as Connecticut IS con- ccrncd, therefore turns to the Honorable John Tilson. majority leader in the House and Represents tive from Connecticut.

UNFOLDING A FARE CONTRACT

Although the Peterborough Rapid Transit Co. of New York intends to appeal the notable decision Of Supreme Court Justice Phoenlx Ingra ham in the five-cent fare rate case it is worthy of note that the justice has forcefuly brought to public attention an angle of con. tractural fare relationship that is al the basis of the long controversy in New York and which has an applica- ton everywhere. unless the disposl- ton Is to make it easy for companies who have contracted to serve the public at an established rate to change the rate when they find it not as profitable as they had antici- pated.
 The court held that contractur- al fare cannot be tempered with.
 In other words, when the subway and elevated company agreed to ! charge five cents for fare 1t was facing a future of splendid gains or running the risk of increased costs of operation and possible loss It was in the same position as a building contractor. who may make money or lose it, depending upon his shllI in figuring probable costs. The l. k. T. was anxious to enter into a con- tract on a five-cent fare basis ana obtained the contract in the ex- pectation it would make millions of profits. The company guessed wrong and would avoid the contract on the plea that the rate is "conllscatory.
 The time to have thought about a "confiscatory rate" it is assumed
 from the courts ruling, was wher the contract was being negotiated. It has been said in New York tha
 if the company really wants to le'
 % the contract the city would DC
 prepared to relieve it and operat' the subway and elevated lines it self. But the company doesn't wan i to be relieved in this manner. II : effect it says to the metropolis, wv are the proper persons to operat the lines. but we must have at leas a seven-cent fare, regardless of ou
 contract"

nan being transferred to

 The ambition of Providence to see the completion of the Southern New England railroad, therefore, is read fly understandable. The Southern New England is right of way ex- tending from Palmer. Mass. to Providence. through the towns of Uxbridge, East Brookfield, South- bridge, Blackstone, Dudley, Sur bridge and Millville. It includes 35 bridges which are described as be- ing in dangerous condition" There are no tracks.
 To complete the line and insure something for Providence requires sS,000,00O. Financiers are said to be interested; anyway, Rhode Island reports it is assured of the neces- sary financing to complete the line.
 There was a time when the pos- sible construction of a new railroad was hailed with universal delight as an evidence Of progress. Rhode ls- land and the ten towns along the right of way today possess most ot the enthusiasm for the line; in other parts of New England there is diversity of opinion. At Palmer the line would connect with the Central Vermont, which in turn is identified with the Canadian National system. Providence therefore, hopes to be- come a co-port with New London and Portland Of the Canadian Ma tionaL
 The Canadian dIfferential lines are Of vast importance to New Eng land shippers. When the native lines. such as the New Haven and Boston & Maine. fail to provide reasonable rates" to the West in conjunction with the American trunk lines, New England shippers seize the oppor- tunity rendered through the Cana dian lines and are thus able to take advantage Of competition in very practical manner. As long as Provi- dence shippers are denied such a privilege they will be dissatisfied. | Providence, by the way. and other Rhode Island cities. are very im- portant manufacturing centers.
 The aim of Rhode Island in seek l ing the completion of the Southern New England, therefore. does not center in seeking to make a bigger and better port of Providence. At least an angle of the situation is to | give Rhode Island industrialists an
 equal opportunity with other New
 England industrialists to utilize the 1 Canadian differential lines in case Of
 necessity The necessity may not al-
 ways be present, but when the time comes Rhode Island wishes to be prepared to do battle with the pre-
 vailing railroad monopoly.
 It seems to Rhode Island that this
 type of shipping preparedness Is
 worth sS.00O.000 10 the state.
 Despite the pained surprise being
 manifested among stockholders oi
 the New Haven, it is more than an
 even bet that the Southern New
 Eneland will be completed.
