SKULLS AWAIT
DENTISTS

A group of ancient mound build
erS, who have been in their idea
of Valhalla for several thousand
years, have decided to do their
part for modern dentistry. At
least DR.. Ales Hrdlicka of the Ma

them.

exhibit of many of their skulls
and jaws at the museum as a
part of the Five-State Postgradu-
ate Dental Clinic, under the aus
pices of the District Dental So
ciety, which starts four-day term
Sunday at the Wardman Park
Hotel.
An exhibition of original Pat
ent Office models of early dental
instruments has also been ar
ranged, together with an ancient
dental case and instruments own
ed by DR.. c. T. Bassett and a
book on dental surgery, the first
work of its kind, belonging to DR..
c. L. Smith.
Spare-time activities of the
dentists will be exhibited as well,
including oil paintings, drawings,
sculpture and photographs.

THREATENED
BY STRIKE
Brooklyn Edison WaIkout, As
Voted, Would ParaIyze
Traffic in Gotham

NEW YORK, March 16 Q.N.S0.
The threat of a city.wide light and
power strike hung over New York
city today.
At special meetings late last
night, officials of the Brooklyn
and Manhattan locals of the
Brotherhood of Utility Employees
voted for a strike of some $4,000
employees in the plants Of the
Brooklyn Edison Company, the
New York Edison Company, and
the United Light and Power Com
pany.
The walkout, if it takes place,
will plunge virtually the entire
metropolis into darkness and
bring the wheels of industry to O
definite standStill.
LaGuardia to Act
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia received
official notification Of the action
of the union early today and was
expected to take immediate steps
to halt the crisis.
If the mayors efforts at arbi-
tration fail the strike will become
effective Immediately, union Off
cials declared.
There had been talk of a strike
in Brooklyn for several weeks fol.
lowing the discharge of six broth
erhood members by the Brooklyn
Edison Company. The brother
hood alleged these nen were dis
missed for union activities while
the company denied this. saying
the station in which they worked
was being closed down and that
the men had been offered trans.
fers to positions as good or bet
ter than those they had held.
The union appealed to the
regional labor board and mac
ton on the part Of the board,
according to brotherhood officers,
caused strike vote to be taken
some days ago.
Will ParalyZe Lines
Last nights vote was taken fol-
lowing a report that company
officials has refused to recognize
the brotherhood as a collective
bargaining agency.
The New York local voted to
strike as a gesture of support to
the employees of the Brooklyn
company.
The strike will paralyze most of
the metropolitan areas transpor-
tation lines.
The B. M. T. and I. r. r. sub
way systems have their own power
plants and will not be affected by
the walkout, but it is understood
the Independent Subway System,
city owned, the Long Island Rail-
road and other trolley and surface
lines will not be able to operate.

"LOWEST PRICES
IN THE CITY,

Mrs. John @. Public bought some mer-
chandise in store displaying this sign
on it's window. She was shocked to find
the same merchandise several dollars
cheaper in another store and she re-
ported the matter to the Better Business
Bureau.
This woman received the difference be-
tween the price she had paid and that
at which she could have bought from
the merchant who promptly removed
his extravagant sign. To the Bureau
this was just another routine case re-
quiring brief checking, and resulting in
prompt correction.
This is not only a service to Mrs. John
Q. Public; it is likewise service to COM
peting merchants, but most particularly
it was a service to the offending mer-
chant. Not only was he brought con-
structive information, but it was made
clear to him that his sign was impos-
Sible of being true and was therefore
not conducive to public confidence.
Truth and complete accuracy in adver.
tising and business is the aim of the
Better Business Bureau. Newspapers,
radio stations and merchants them"
selves support the Bureau because they
know that the accomplishment of that
aim will help them. They know the
public will properly respond to believ-
able advertising and build
ing business practices.
Whenever you read, see or hear un-
bel1evable or exaggerated advertising,
report it to the Better Business Bureau
