NEW YORK; April l2.-Not since
he left dental school has DR.. A. B.
Leavitt ever had such an exciting
patient as Albert Callahan, q subway
conductor, who swept through his of1ice
Wednesday with the force Of tor
nado.
Callahan was meek enough when
he came In. A raging toothache had
taken all the fight out of him. But
it was not long until he imagined
himself back in the subway-slugging
for all he was worth.
As Callahan settled himself tensely
back in the chair DR.. Leavitt fell to
probing the offending molar.
"Ah," he said. hurts little, eh?"

We'll soon fix that" said Dr.
Leavitt. "A little gas and zingo!-
out before you know It,"
Club, Club" said Callahan.
Two Whifis Plenty.
Nodding sympathetically, DR.. Leavitt
reached for his forceps and adjusted
the gas mask.
Two whiffs and things began to
happen with startling rapidity.
Callahan bolted straight out of the
chair, seized DR.. Leavitt and tossed
him out the window.
Luckily there was only three-foot
drop to a driveway, but before the
astonished dentist. could recover from
his surprise he was being showered
with instruments.
Next came the gas tank, followed
closely by Callahan, who jumped on
the dentists chest and began applying
his own version Of subway jiu-jitsu.
Locked in each others arms, dentist
and patient were rolling briskly about
when Patrolman Matthew Farmer ap-
peared on the scene.
The patrolman promptly joined in
the melee and soon brought things
under control.
Patient Apologies.
BY this time the mist was beginning
to fade away from Callahan's vision
and he was apologetic-as apologetic
as man can be with a raging tooth
che.
DR.. Leavitt was willing enough to
forget the whole business. despite
laceraled scalp and sore thumb, and
even agreed to carry on where he
left off.

sprague last night placed the blame
for what he termed a near financial
panic in Europe today.
The Harvard professor of banking
and finance in o Bowdoin Politics
Institute lecture declared that Amer
ica's deprecated currency is grad
ually forcing down prices throughout
the world.
Other nations, he added, are being
threatened with devaluation and even
imitation, a situation which cannot
be solved by monetary manipulation
alone, but must be met by both an
increased demand for credit, labor
and materials"
International Standard.
The one-time adviser to the Bank
of England advocated an interna-
tional gold standard under which
monetary manipulation would be
limited as one antidote. Secondly
he presented his theory. advocated
only last night in a Portland speech,
that reduction of prices by heavy in
dustries would provide an approach
ITO true recovery"
by changing the value of the
currency in this country in relation
to that of other nations" he as
serted, "the United States has per-
haps safeguarded itself-as the value
Of the dollar at home did not change
but the change of the gold content
of the dollar to 59.o6 abroad created
trade repercussions heard around the
world"
Demand for Credit.
Urging industry and labor to join
hands in a demand for credit, DR.
Sprague said "the administration can
pave the way for more credit to be
available, but 1t can't make the
public ask for credit-this must come
from the businessman himself"
What we want from our admins
tration Is economic stability, employ
ment price stability and a return
to a fairly equalized standard of liv-
ing" asserted the man who formerly
advised President Roosevelt on fiscal
matters.
