TEETH AND HEALTH
BY Samuel Nj. Fink, ID. d. s..
THE DENTIST IN COMMERCIAL
PLANTS

Manufactures of long ago. knew,
that, in order to continue their pro-
duction standard, they must keep the
machinery in good working order.
For continued success these owners
have realized that they must also
maintain their employees health, for
without them their costliest machin-
cry is useless.
1t may be said that industrial
workers, as a class, rarely appreciate
the Importance of mouth hygiene
and sound teeth, and do not know
what influence tooth decay has upon
the general shysical condition of any
individual. In fact, it is rather diff
ficult for these people to realize that
what they call gum boil'' might
be the source of an infection which
may lead to the development Of
rheumatism, diabetes, Hrights di-
sease, anemia, diseases of the heart
and blood vessels, or to disorders of
the stomach and intestines. To
them it almost seems incredible
that pus pocket at the root of
decayed tooth, or a pyorrhea cond:.
ton of the gum margins, may be a
source Of general infection through
out the entire system.
Inasmuch as it has been determine
ed that sound teeth have a strong
bearing upon the general health of
an individual, it will be readily seen
why industry is making such great
strides in the establishment and
maintenance of what are termed In
dustrial Dental Dispensaries.
No large industrial organization is
considered complete today without a
dentist. The Industrial surgeon has.
long had its place in every large
manufacturing establishment, and it
is rapidly becoming recognized that
his work is incomplete, hampered,
and deprived of its otherwise salts
factory results, through a lack Of
competent dental help.
The work Of the Industrial Dental
Dispensary is of a varied nature
sometimes covering several branches
of dentistry, namely, the relief of.
pain, examination and consultation,
prophylaxis, consultation with the
medical department, and the treat
ing, filling, and extraction of teeth.
In some dispensaries the work con-
sists merely of examination and
prophylaxis-the patient then being
referred to their regular family
dentist for treatment and extensive
dental work. In other Industrial
plants more actual treatment and
dental service are given, a nominal
fee being charged for the work done.
P. S.-All Dental questions will be-
answered in this column by address

PHARIS STARTED INDUSTRIAL
RECOVERY ACT IN 1929
Foresight OF Tire Manufacturer Pre-
served Prosperity For EN-
plOyees Through Depression

plOyees Through Depression
When the world crash started In
1929 one tire manufacturer foresaw
the arrival of conditions that were To-
remain with us for a long period.
Carl Pharis, general manager of the
Pharis Tire and Rubber Company
Newark, Ohio, had already been con-
Quoting his business for 20 years ON
sound lines of efficiency and low
overhead-putting out quality tires
at exceptionally low prices. He pre-
dicted that all industry must adjust
itself to a similar basis of economi-
cal operation suited to the new con-
ditions.
Hundreds of firms that did not ac-
cept such view of the situation
have been brought face to face with
disaster, while the Pharis company
has sailed blithely through the de-
preston with its plant running "a
hours day, seven days week much
of the time
The employees have had work at
fair wages, the dealers have been
supplied with highest quality tires,
at prices the hard-up public could
afford to pay. They have made
money and the factory has made
money.
The story of the Pharis factory fa
one of the epics of American indus
try. No industrial recovery act is
needed to improve conditions I'M
Newark, Ohio. Mr.. Pharis took
care of Industrial recovery, as far
as his factory was concerned, back
in 1929 when the trouble started.
He demonstrated that sound poll
cies could keep an industry from
getting into any condition that re-
quired recovery. The local agency
for Pharis Tires is the H. M. Duyck-
inck Co.

OIL LEADERS FEAR
LABOR ORGANIZERS
Talk Over N. R. A. Situation
With Employees and Bar
Outsiders.

TULSA, Okla, August Ala quiet ad
vance of labor organizers upon the
midcontinent area refining industry
brought considerable concern to execu-
tives last week.
An open-shop industry from its in
ception, refining seldom has had labor
troubles It's workers have been well
paid as a class, and the sometimes
bloody disputes over wages that have
rocked the railroad, coal mining and
other lines In the past never have
touched OIL
But since the N. r. A. campaign be-
gan organizers have entered the re-
fineries and at several points unions
have come into existence. with out
siders in control and collecting fees and
dues.
Executives regard the labor situation
as one of the most delicate with which
they have come in contact, and have
moved carefully to learn what they
could of current developments.
Probably the most elaborate union SO
far organized Is at the Wood River, Ill.
plant of the Shell Petroleum Corpo-
ration, where the workers are graded
according to their labor classification.
Other unions have been organized in
several Texas points, and an attempt
is under way at one Of the Tulsa re-
flneries An executive OF the refinery
told an organizer he had no objection
to the men organizing, but did object to
use of company bulletin boards to call
them into mass meetings
The attitude Of the refners so far
has been one Of willingness to help en-
ployes organize a company union, but
less willingness to see strangers who
may or may not be representatives Of
the American Federation of Labor
come in and persuade the workmen to
part with their dollars for membership
fees and dues
One ref1ner in the Wichita Falls
Tex, area called mass meeting Of his
employees and explained the N R A
situation to them. He pointed out that
the refinery had been kept in operation
in recent bad business times without
cutting Of wages though at times run
nirg on short schedules, providing en-
plO gment for laborers who would other

stances. This employer also made a

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, August 2l-
The ire Of Mrs. Aimee Semple McPher-

against description of her as "a good

The introduction was given by George

clared he told the truth" Before call
ing on her to speak Saturday ClaaSsen
whispered. according 10 Mrs Hutton,

In discussing the tilt, the evangelist
said, when 1 began to speak l told
