New York. June : - A warn ing against the widespread increase of Vincent's infection, commonly called trench mouth" was issued to-day by Dr Alfred Walker. chair man of the Educational committee of the American Dental Association who called for more stringent san itary precautions and for careful professional treatment of sufferers from the infection. That the de- pression and not kissing Is largely to blame for the spread of the all ment is indicated by recent sur vey made by the American Dental Association. Use of glasses instead of paper drinking cups in public places, and the use Of unclean table ware, are also blamed for the spread of the infection. which Is communicable in a very high de- gree.
 Kissing was formerly given the major blame for the infection's spread, but many dentists now be- lieve that the steady increase in the numbers who have been infect ed by the disease in Wall Street and other financial sections Is due to decreased resistance, brought about by business worries. Some authorities claim that 1t IS a sys- temic disease and that mouth con- ditions are merely symptoms.
 The alarming spread of the dis ease is shown in statistics in New York State. where the number of cases has increased 100 per cent in the last nine years. Other report Ing states shaw a similar increase. pr l. Disraeli of Los Angeles, Cal, one of the cities covered in the A. D. A. survey, also reports steady rise in the number of cases. An authority on trench mouth, Dr Disraeli bases his statement on a questlonnaire sent to all offices of the United States Public Health Service, to dental school heads and to practicing dentists.
 He reports that "95 per cent of the Public Health Service officers. 80 per cent of the dental schools and 90 per cent of the practicing dentists who were questioned be- lieve that the disease as whole is on the increase" Dr Dfsraeli adds that "of the individual dentists questioned, the 90 per cent who be- 1 lieve that the disease as a whole is on the increase state that the acute type is on the decline and the chronic type on, the increase" Acute cases are sometimes fatal. | Chronic cases, according to Dr AL fred Walker of New York, chair man of the A. D. As Educational Committee. are caused by resort to home treatment on the part of the patients who will discontinue talk ing precautions as soon as the pain and discomfort Is relieved. which may be long before the disease is really eradicatcd.

The girl was a daughter of Mir and Mrs Thomas Gallagher of Carlesmore, in the district mentioned. She had sev- eral brothers and sisters, all of whom are dead,
 An effort has been made to To- cate relatives of the Gallaghers In Ireland but all to no avail. There are numerous families of that name in Waterbury, and the advertise ment printed in the Democrat by Bronson, Lewis & Bronson will set all of them thinking, and the Gal laghers of the different townlands in that county will be mentioned. Nothing beyond what appears in the advertisement has been given out, but 1t is no wild statement to say that there is little money left and an effort is being made to find out to whom 1t belongs.

 There are other states where political power centers in one man and many others where 1t appears divided among number of demo- cratic bosses or *1edders.
 Former Governor James NJ. Cox probably will direct most of the Ohio delegation. Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Gov ernors Byrd of Virginia and Ritchie of Maryland presumably will control their delegations.
 Roosevelt has many state bosses in his ranks, but they don't yet include many of the machine leaders in the largest states.
 Joe Guffey of Pittsburg. whose political influence was supposed to have been slipping, appears to have made good his boast that 66 of Pennsylvariia's 7S delegates would be for Roosevelt Senator Huey Long, undisputed boss of Louisiana, has promised the states uninstructed 20 for Roose- welt. The southern leaders. such as the famous Boss Ed Crump of Tennessee. have generally lined up for the governor, -fs.S-. Among the republican leaders you might say that the boss with the greatest theoretical delegate strength was Walter r. Brown of ohio.

 his opposition to Hooyer's nom ination in 1928 he was widely con- tsidered to be on. the skids. But fHilIeS is supposed to be a repre- sentative of Wall street in the | organization and he remains on top of the heap, apparently as i'm

 And J. Henry Roraback of Con- necticut still holds iron sway over the republicans of his state. Ills is one of the most conspicuous ex- amples of single e-handed bosslsm of the traditional type. The most widely known repub- lican big city boss who still re- l mains in power is undoubtedly
