HOME BANK BOARD
POSTS RESTRICTED
Commercial Bankers Not to
Be Given Places, Says
Chairman Fort.

Commercial bankers are not to be
given places on the directorate of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Chair
man Franklin w. Fort of the board said
today.
He declared this action had been taken
not by any specific ruling of the beard,
but that the law provides that of the
IL directors of each regional bank be
selected from the field of home financing
and that their successors be officers or
directors of institutions holding stock in
the bank. The two remaining directors
in each case are to be representatives of
the public interest.
Fort Returns to Office.
Chairman Fort returned to his office
today from trip to Swampscott, Mass,
and the beard settled down to the task
of selecting directorate from 10 of the
II banks. Two days ago directors from
the Cincinnati regional banks were
named.
Shortly after Mr.. Forts return the
board named the nine men who will
serve as directors but till January l in
the twelfth district, comprising Cali
fornia, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii
The regional bank of this district is to
be located at Los Angeles and will have
a minimum capital stock of $4,000, 900.
The names of the two directors rep
resenting the public interest were also
announced and while the statutes pro-
vide for the election of nine new di-
rectorS on January /, no limitation is
made for the public interest directors
as to the time they shall hold office.
Representatives of Public.
The two directors representing the
public interest in the twelfth district are
Adolph Schleicher of Los Angeles. pres
ident of the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce, and George o. Davis of San
Francisco president of the White House
Department Store.
The nine other directors are c. H.
Wayne, Los Angeles; H. B. Katcherside,
Long Beach; Robert Odell and r. M.
Tobin, San Francisco; Edwin M. Elm
stein, Fresno; Perry T. TompkinA
Berkeley: Harry S. Wanzer, Sacra-
mento; J. Lester Miller, San Jose; A.
M. Franklin, Tucson.
Both members said they expected the
other directorates to be named within
the coming week. 1t is understood the
board is experiencing difficulty in pre-
vailing upon competent men to accept
appointments. This is said to be due
to a number OF causes, principally to
the fact that the initial boards will
serve only until the first of the year,
when the building and loan associations
themselves are to make appointments
as provided by law.

THE STAR WASHINGTON D. c. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER a. 1892
Washington and His Teeth
Sol Bloom, Takes Issue With Dentist Who SAID Paul
Revere Made False Set for First
President.

to q DR.. Baker Of Philadelphia, WASH
ington asks for 'pinchers to fasten the
wire of my teeth and a scraper to clean
them. Writing from Newburgh, N. Y,
to Maj. Billings at Poughkeepsie in
1888, he asks: I pray you to send me a
small file or two; one of which to be
very thin, so much so as to pass be-
tween the teeth if occasion should re-
quire it. In this same letter he also
asks about coloring sealing wax. The
gums Of the false teeth were made of
hippopotamus ivory and were tinted
with wax.
Now, we know" Representative
Bloom went on, that when Washing
ton came to New York in 1889, to as
sumo the duties Of the presidency, he
consulted John Greenwood, a famous
dentist of his day. who was located on
the corner of William and Blocker
streets in New York City, about having
a set of teeth made. These were made
and the false teeth were fastened, as
was a smal-Size gold-wire spring which
could not possibly have had power
enough to hold Washington's mouth
agape' Gas DIR. Pryor said) and to pre-
vent him from closing it.
Some Sets Survive.
"Dr Greenwood made several other
sets later and was the proud possessor
of Washington's last tooth, which evi-
IDENTIFY had been forced out of the gen.
erals jaw by the pressure of the false
set around it, in 1795. One or more of
the sets of teeth have survived and dis
prove the statement about the gold base,
as does the correspondence.
"AS to advising the general to soak
his teeth in port wine, the dentists ad-
vice in a letter of December %, 1893,
was exactly to the contrary. He said
that the false teeth were black either
because of soaking them in port wine
or because of drinking port wine. and
suggested as remedy to place them in
clear water and clean them with chalk.
"As for practicing dentistry on his
slaves" Bloom continued, that opera
tion would be assigned to the overseers.
Though Washington wrote volumino ously
and left diaries and record books, there
is nothing in these to show that he was
even an amateur dentist.
Now I hope Bloom concluded, that
this statement will set at rest such fab
relations and distortions of historical
facts"

~ AUL REVERE never made set
of false teeth for George WASH
fngton and George Washington
did not wear a set of false teeth
. when he made his historic cross
ing of the Delaware.
Thus did Representative Sol Bloom
of New York contradict the assertions
of DR.. Walter j. Pryor, Cleveland
dentist, made before the American
Dental Association at its Buffalo con-
vention September IA. Taking excep-
ton to several Of the conclusions
reached by Dr. Pryor anent the artificial
molars of the First President, Mr.. Bloom
issued lengthy statement at Bicenten-
nial Commission headquarters yester-
day.
Can Not Be Borne Out.
IF the accounts of DR.. Pryor's speech
as carried in the Associated Press dis
patch and elsewhere are accurate, then
he is guilty of making statements which
cannot be proved by historical records.
"Our historical experts have searched
the records pertaining to the life OF
George Washington for several years" "
continued Representative Bloom, "and
our findings show that DR.. Pryor is in
error.
II wish to take exception to several
statements made by DR.. Pryor as
quoted in the newspapers:
81. That Paul Revere made set
of false teeth for Gen. washington.
20. That Washington wore this set
Of teeth while crossing the Delaware.
"3. That the teeth were set In a
wrought gold base.
a. That Washington's false teeth
kept his mouth agape' and prevented
him from closing it.
IS. That DR.. Greenwood advised
Washington to soak his teeth IN port
wine.
"6 That Washington practiced den-
tistry on his slaves.
Nov let me straighten you out on
these points" said Bloom.
Not False Before 1881.
There is absolutely no record or
proof OF Paul Revere having made set
of false teeth for George Washington.
Likewise, there is no record OF Wash
ington having false teeth at the time of
crossing the Delaware.
'Washington'S letters give no indica-
ton of false teeth before 1881, though
by that time he evidently had some, but
not a full set. In letter of that year

BRIDE CLARIFIES LAW
ON USED-CAR DEALERS
Commissioners Former Interpreta.
ton Wrong, Corporation
Counsel Rules.

Automobile dealers who accept used
cars in trade for new must take out
second hand dealers licenses, at cost
of $50 per annum, according to an
opinion given to the District Commis-
sioners yesterday by Corporation Coun-
sci william w. Bride.
The opinion interpreted section of
the license act of July /, 1882, although
the language in the previous license
act was the same, save for a change
from $40 to $50 for the cost of the
license. The Commissioners, however,
since 1921 had instructed the superin
tendent of licenses that automobile
dealers did not come within the scope
of the term second hand dealer" Mr.
Brides opinion held that the Commis
sionerS' former Interpretation was
wrong. From now on the license fee
will be collected.

tract to some private business interest.

yesterday.
Cafeterias proposed in new Govern
ment buildings, he added, were author
lied specifically by Congress. He an
rounced his own department would
order a strict ban against use of the
employees.
Claims Pledge Ignored.
Chairman Shannon called attention
to the promise of the Baltimore post
master to ban outsiders from the cafe
terra in the new building in that city,
but he said he had gone into the eating
place unmolested and without inquiry
since that order.
Shannon also called Philips attention
to the complaint of Minnesota retail
grocers against a grocery store in the
Minneapolis post Office
L have heard nothing Of such a
complaint, replied Philip. IF the
complaint had been sent here it would
have been investigated and if there is
a grocery store in the building it would
have been closed"

he and Representative Shannon had
taken pledge to use every influence to
block any more appropriations for cafe
terias in new Federal buildings.
