DENTISTRY DEAN
AT c. u. HON0RED
District Society vii! Attend
Reception for DR.. W. N.
Cogan Today.

Oficers and members Of the Dis
tr1ct of Columbia Dental Society will
Join Georgetown University ofnclals
this afternoon in extending fellcita-
tions to DR.. William N. Cogan, 78-
year-old founder and dean OF the
School of Dentistry.
The occasion is reception from
to 6 O'Clock in the dental building as
a part of the year round observance OF
the Georgetown tercentennary In
honor of its founders. Since DR..
Cogan was the pioneer in establishing
the dental department. 33 years ago,
he will be the central figure in the
celebration.
At an age when most successful
men are satisfied with past achieve
ments, Dr. Cogan has never learned
the meaning of the word stop" This
trait began as a young man when
physicians sent him from Washington
to Western cline in the hope that
he might live at least a year longer.
When he succeeded last year in
achieving the coveted goal Of Grade
A rating for his department by the
Dental Education Council OF America,
he claimed that was Just the begin
ming. Now, at 78, he is fretting over
ways and means of creating gradu-
ate department to keep the school
still further abreast Of changing times
In education.
A native Of Washington and edu-
Gated In Washington and Maryland
universities, DR.. Cogan tried out the
grocery business, bond salesmanship,
real estate and other lines before he
eventually decided upon dental
career. Besides founding the dental
department at Georgetown, where he
was its first dean, he was drafted"
by the United States Navy in 1912 to
help organize the Navy Dental Corps
by Surgeon Gen. Charles P. Stokes.
He established the first dental clinic
in the Navy Dispensary in Washington
and resigned his deanship at George
town. In 1915 Dr., Cogan was placed
in command of the Dental Corps. then
numbering 80 officers, with head
quarters at the Navy Department.
At the reception today the school
laboratory and infirmary will be
opened for inspection by visitors. DR..
w. w. Wyman, president of the Dis
trict Dental Society, and DR.. Coleman
Nevils, S. j.. president of Georgetown,
will assist the dean in receiving the
guests.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 5.-with few
exceptions the drought In the ma
chinery business continues as un-
broken as the drought on the prairies
reports American Machinist. Threats
Of strikes are still serving to keep
prospective purchasers from acting,
although the suppliers whose business
Is least affected by ups and downs
in the automobile industry are doing
better than those serving that mer-
curial activity.
In the East some distributors report
that May business was about on a pal
with that of April, others feel that
everything is slowing down. Inquiries
continue in fair volume. Pittsburgh
agents believe that the decline In
orders is likely to continue for some
weeks because of the apathy that ha.
overtaken so many possible customers
Inquiries are likewise fewer. In Gin.
cinnati orders are scarce but some
companies are finding a small pick
up, the first in several months. Shop.
are running with such small forces
that labor trouble is remote.
Detroit is in what one machinery
man calls vacation period as car
builders wait to see the reaction OF
the public to price reductions and
announcements of standard" lines
With few exceptions production
schedules are tapering of. Plans for
new models are in abeyance until the
labor situation clears up. Cleveland
companies that sell mostly to auto
mobile manufacturers are not doing
as well as those with a more diversi-
fed list of customers. On the whole
however. there has not been much
change In the rate of industrial ac-
tivity.
The exception to the existing dull
ness is Chicggo, where several dealers
report good business in May anc

Little change is reported from St
Louis. although close observers see a
gradual recession in orders which has
been going on for some weeks. Threat
Of labor trouble is worrying employers

Office Equipment
Sales Continue
To Rise Steadily
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June Once
equipment sales have registered
progressive monthly gains since the
middle of 1888. with increased de-
mand coming from virtually all con-
sumers, says the Standard Statistics
Co. of New York. Foreign sales have
been we'll sustained, although the nor
NAL ratio to the total {approxi-
mately 35 per cent? has not been fully
maintained because of the greater do
mestic recovery. In time, however,
the former relationship between these
two divisions should be restored. The
result would be to widen total profts,
since foreign business commands
somewhat higher prices.
Thus far the preponderance Of sales
has been in the lower priced lines
(typewriters, duplicators, adding ma
chimes, etc.. principally for the re-
placement of worn and outmoded
machines. Nevertheless, with further
general business improvement. a SHIFT
in demand to the system type Of
equipment reasonably may be expect
.
tabulating and extensive filing equip
ment require a larger capital outlay,
but at the same time afford greater
return per unit to producers.
Indications are that sales for the
current quarter will be slightly in ex-
cess Of those for the first three months
of 1884, and approximately so per
cent above the total for the 1893 Pc
riod. While a Summer recession
probably is unavoidable, a decisive
sales gain in the seasonally active
fourth quarter is indicated, assuming
no more than temporary interruption
to general business recovery. lnas-
much as earnings for the first half of
1884 will replace deficits a year ear
lier. the office equipment trade should
show an improvement in results for
the whole year.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Current re-
orders of millinery, which are re-

In good volume until well past the
middle Of this month. Hats to re-
tail up to $29s are favored.
Price reductions averaging 10 per
cent have been put into effect in the
furniture upholstery fabrics market.
The reductions were made by many
mills in an attempt to spur buying
by manufacturers who will show Fall
lines next week.
Retailers in search Of special mer-
chandise for July promotions have
been active recently in the wholesale
lamp market here. Low end and
medium price goods we're sought.
Interest in satins for early Fall
dress lines is rapidly gaining and in
dications are that garments of this
fabric will contribute much of the
early business to be placed by re-
tailers here.
Trading in the gray goods market
has again turned quiet, buyers in need
of large requirements having COW
