RACE TRACK BILL
HEARING MAR. z
Chairman Norton Plans to
Call Up Measure Next
Monday.

House consideration OF bill to
legalize race track gambling in the
District was definitely fixed today by
the House District Committee for
March %, the final District day OF
the month.
Chairman Norton had planned to
call up the measure next Monday if
the House disposed of all other Dis
trict bills on the calendar at that
time. Representatives Hull, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin and Brewster,
Republican, of Maine both pleaded
for a delay.
Hull, who has taken an active part
in the fight to defeat the bill, said
the opponents desired further time to
prepare a minority report. 1t was
Brewster's opinion that one entire
District day should be devoted to con-
sideration of the racing bill because
of its controversial nature.
Fight Seen by Hull.
Lets have an amicable day next
Monday" he pleaded. Bring the
racing bill up March %, when it will
have a preferred status, because
there's going to be a fight from the
drop of the hat"
The committee favorably reported
two minor bills. One would require
that coal and coke sold in small
quantities be put in Is, Is and SO
pound bags with the true weight
stamped thereon. The other au-
thorizes an increase from $4,000 to
$25,0To in the appropriation for voca-
tional reha bilitation of disabled Dis
trict residents.
A number of other bills were re-
ferred to special subcommittee.
These include one sponsored by Rep
resentative Quinn, Democrat, OF
Pennsylvania to regulate beauty par
lors and the practice of cosmetology
The subcommittee to which this bill
was referred is composed of Repre-
sentatives Jenckes of Indiana and
McGehee of Mississippi, Democrats,
and Dirksen of Illinois, Republican.
Bill on Petty Larceny.
Another special subcommittee com-
posed of Representatives Palmisano
Democrat, of Maryland; Shafer OF
Michigan, and Cole of New York, Re-
publicans, was created to consider q
bill to raise the maximum amount
under which petty larceny can be
charged Another measure would
give the joint board, made up of the
Public Utilities Commission and the
Board of District Commissioners, au-
thority to enforce its orders.
A bill to regulate the practice Of
optometry was referred to a subcom-
nittee composed Of Representatives
Schultz of Indiana, Democrat; Quinn,
Arnold of Illinois, Dirksen and Shafer,
Republicans.
A bill to regulate BARRIERS likewise
was referred to subcommittee made
up Of Representatives Randolph of
West Virginia and Sacks Of Pennsyl-

The famous United States Marine
Band met up with probably its most
temperamental guest artist yesterday.
Not until 10 minutes after the band
had completed its regular afternoon
radio concert did Pete, the accom-
plished canary, open its mouth-ex-
cept to pick up few bird seeds.
Then he ventured only few chirps
for the benefit of a couple of pho
tographers and reporters and a few
others who waited in the Marine Bar
racks Auditorium after the broadcast
ended.
Perhaps Guest Artist Pete disliked
competition, but neither the earnest
pleadings of Announcer Ted Kimball
or the blowing of artificial bird whis-
ties could move him into rendering
Yankee Doodle" the song for which
he is famous.

SCOUTS TS7O0CCUPY
RECREATION AREAS
Ickes and Cammerer Ap-
prove Sites for Jamboree
in June and July.

Washingtonians will find their rec
reational facilities south of the White
House cramped when the Boy Scout
Jamboree comes here in late June
and early July.
Secretary Ickes and Arno B. Cam
merer, director of the National Park
Service, Interior Department, have
just approved plans submitted for the
construction layout of the jambcree
by Harvey A. Gordon, national direc-
tor of engineering for the Boy Scouts
of America. These show that the
Scouts will occupy part of the Wash
ington Monument Grounds just south
of Constitution avenue, West Potomac
Park south of the rejecting pool Of
the Lincoln Memorial, the old cricket
grounds near the tourist camp, part
of East Potomac Park; practically all
of Columbia Island, part of the De-
partment of Agriculture's expert
mental farm, the area between the
railroad and Highway bridges along
the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway
and an area between Reaches Run and
Four-Mile Run.
c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
of the National Capital Parks, assert
ed that the camps occupying recrea-
tional facilities will be the last con-
structed and the first to be removed.
Unlike plans for the 1885 jamboree,
which were Cancelled due to infantile
paralysis, the Ellipse will not be used
as camping grounds, Finnan said. At
Abingdon, on the Mount Vernon
Highway, the Scouts will not use as
much area as they had planned In
1885, due to the fact that the park
authorities have since built a nursery
in that area and the Bureau OF Public
Roads is now starting construction OF
its laboratories there
To compensate for this, Finnan
said, the Scouts will use the north
end of Columbia Island and also
part of the Washington Monument
Grounds.
Finnan asserted that only nine holes
of golf will be temporarily eliminated
by the encampment in East Potomac
Park, but golfers will find West Po-
tomac Park full of hazards" Some
eight base ball diamonds will be out
of commission south of Constitution
avenue.
Construction headquarters will be
set up about April l at the area be-
tween the railroad and Highway
bridges.
independence day exercises at the
Washington Monument this year are
somewhat in doubt, inasmuch as the
Boy Scouts will be in the area usually
devoted to the fireworks display. The
polo grounds is under consideration
as an assembly point for the Scouts
so that there will in all likelihood be
no polo games there during the jam
boree.

HEALTH DETT'S
DIVISION OF
ORAL HYGIENE

The Division of Oral Hygiene of the
Maryland State Department of Health
was seven years old, recently. 1t has
made steady progress since its estab-
lishment and like other sturdy young
sters, it points with pride to its an
cestry, especially to the fact that it
can trace its development back to the
beginnings of professional dentistry in
the United States.
Incidentally those beginnings occur
red in Maryland nearly hundred
years ago, in connection with the es-
Enlistment of the Baltimore College
of Dental Surgery, the first dental
college in the world The college was
started in 1899, chartered in 1910 and
still exists as a part Of the University
of Maryland. Preparations are I'M
der way for the appropriate colebra-
ton of the hundredth anniversary Of
the institution
Speaking Of preventive dentistry as
we know it today. DR.. Richard C. Leo
nard, Chief of the State Division Of
Oral Hygiene said: THE development
of modern dentistry can be traced di-
rectly to the influence and standards
established by the pioneers in dental
education of nearly a hundred years
ago. The emphasis has gradually shift
ed from mere correction of conditions
due to injury or neglect, to prevention
of such conditions, with continuous
improvement in corrective methods.
Recognition of the inseparable con-
nection between the maintenance of
mouth health and the general health,
has not only completely changed the
status of dentistry as a health service
but has resulted in the development of
public health dentistry.
"The Division of Oral Hygiene of
the State Department of Health was
established in the interest of better
mouth health for the people of Mary
land. Education is the keynote of the
work of the Division. It's activities
in this connection include the instruc-
ton of teachers in training, through
special courses given at the State
Teachers College education of the
adult lay public through public adj
dresses and moving pictures, and edu-
cation of growing boys and girls thru
dental clinic service in the public and
parochial schools. In connection with
all of these, special emphasis is laid
on the Importance of proper diet as
essential to the formation and mainte-
nance of strong tooth structure, thor
ough mouth cleanliness and early cor
rection of structural defects by COM
petent dentist.
Dental clinic service at which 22,-
1858 children were examined and H.
PIP were treated, was maintained in

need not be in a constant state of re-

tee will also study the shifting pre-

keep close watch on legislative trends.
"The Research Department" said
Mr.. Holler, sis simply one more addi-
ton to an already imposing array, of
facilities which Chevrolet has placed
at the disposal of its dealers. Prob
ably no other retail organization in
the world has comparable advantages
at its command. Some of the services

which Chevrolet has set up are ahso-
lutely unique-available through no
other agency. Others could perhaps
be purchased from companies which
exist to supply them; but they would
be out of the average automobile mer-
chants financial reach.
Like the recent expansion of used
car merchandising facilities, the Re-
search Department operation is fur
ther effort on the part of Chevrolet to
gear its operations up with modern
times and modern methods. There nev
er was period in the history of the
world when the ability to keep inform
ed counted so much toward success.
