Dentist Removes Tooth,
Treats and Puts II Back

CHICAGO.-A Michigan dentist
demonstrated an operation which
makes it possible to remove an alb
scessed tooth, treat it and replant
it. DR.. c. w. Messenger, of Hough-
ton, Mich, explained the process
with X-ray and charts at the sew
enty-f1fth annual mid-winter meet
ing of the Chicago Dental society.
He said he had replanted approx
mately rs teeth, which should last
anywhere from a minimum Of FIVE
years to eight or ten years.
He first X-rays the tooth, then
extracts it and treats any abscess
in the jaw. If there is no cavity in
the tooth, he drills a hole into the
root canal, removes the root It's
sue and, after thoroughly sterilizing
the tooth, replaces the root tissue
with guttapercha. Then he fills the
root end of the tooth with silver
filling and the surface end with por-
celain. He resterilizes the tooth,
presses it back into the cavity in
the jaw and sets it in place with gold
splint. The splint is worn for about
month to give the gum and tissue
time to grow around the tooth.

Looks Come First
With City Typist
Hidden Taxes Nick. Title
For Part of Salary.

CHICAGO.-The average city
stenographer thinks four times as
much of her looks as she does of
books and other educational mate
rial, If survey Of her expenditures
is a criterion.
This and other sideEghts on the
fiscal life of the city. stenographer
were uncovered by a series Of cues
tionnaires distributed in downtown
Chicago offices by the National Con-
sumers Tax commission.
The average sterao-Tillie by
name-estimates her monthly ex-
penditures for creams, lotions, pow
ders, rouges and beauty parlor
treatments at SSH.
In practically the same breath,
however, Tillie admits to- paying
only $160 a month for reading and
other educational material-about
enough to buy a haf-interest in the
latest best seller.
The questionnaires, which re-
vealed the above figures, were sent
out by the N. c. T: c. in a "study
of expenditures of stenographers to
show the relation of indirect taxes
on their daily lives"
Tillie HAS. to work ''about three
weeks a year to pay the hidden taxes
buried in the cost of everything she
buys" the report stated.
Taxes levied during the manufac-
ture and distribution of cosmetics
and passed along to her absorb $7.32
a year of the average stenogra-
piers payment of her cosmetic bills.
Tillie says she spends $237.40 a
year for clothes-none of which is
included in her outlay for self beau
tifcation-but S21.60 of it goes to
pay for shifted taxes, S~cording to
the report.
Tillie spends about half of her
monthly reading material outlay for
newspapers. She enjoys the wom-
ans page the most and-believe il
or not-the editorial page next.
Her expenditures for books are
spent mainly in rental Libraries.
The study is one of several on
the relation of hidden taxes to the
budgets of individuals and of FAM
lilies which are being made by the
N. G. T. G. non-poTitical women 8
organization waging nationwide
educational campaign to expose
indirect taxes that penalize the con-
sumer." .

Canada No,u Ships
Grain to West Ports
Reasons Ciuen for Shift Are
Many and Varied.

WINNIPEG.-Asu survey of figures
characteristic of this years routing
of western Canadian grain crops
reveals that the Port of st. John,
New Brunswick, and to a lesser
extent Fort William have been the
chief sufferers in this years vastly
increased movement of overseas
grain through West Coast ports
Vancouver and New Westminster.
Reason advanced for the flow of
grain to the West are many and
varied. Grain experts point out
that high rail rates to unfrozen
ports in the East close late move
ments as before. Other factors,
however, such as an increased mar
ket in the Orient and more favor
ably located stores-in regard to
this winters market-have netted
the western ports a vast increase
IN grain trade.
Although experts are careful to
point out that comparative shipping
figures between this winter and last
do not give the full picture of the
change in routing of grain, they
nevertheless are clear indications
Of the trend.
The main argument against COM
parative figures between the last
two western Canadian crops is that
the 1899 yield was a normal crop
whereas the 1878 crop was not
However, figures released by the
board of grain commissioners at
Winnipeg give at least partial in
dication of why eastern shippers are
becoming alarmed by the trend.
Officials point out that re-routing
of the 1888 bumper crop to the
West coast caused shipments to St.
John to drop more than 400, 900
bushels during one week in Janu-
airy, compared to the corresponding
period last year. Other eastern
Canadian ports, however, such as
Montreal, Sorel, Three Rivers,
maintained shipments considerably
above identical periods in 1878.
Grain figures taken over a longer
period serve to emphasize the
steady drop of shipments cleared
through st. John, and the CORE
spending increase at West coast
ports.

New Device Speeds Up
Making of Cotton Cloth

SCHENECTADY.-The manufac-
ture of cotton cloth at speeds fast
er than the eye can follow is fore
cast with a new adaptation of the
electric eye"
A photoelectric cell mechanism
developed by General Electric en-
gineers to detect flaws in cloth man.
ufacture is said to permit finishing
speeds as high as l40 yards per
second-100 yards faster than with
manual inspection.
The device is designed to locate
misaligned threads, start motors of
machinery to correct the flaws, and
retest the finished product.
Engineers explained that it is
necessary to realign threads which
have gone askew, especially when
cloth is to be printed, to prevent
distortion of the design.
The cells designers believed the
new device also may be adjusted to
other materials to speed production.

Diminutive Lizard Fatal
To Black Widow Spider

SAN DIEGO.-In the San Diego
alligator lizard, harmless but fero-
cious-looking reptile, biologists Of
the University of California at last
believe they have found a means of
discriminating the dreaded black
widow spider whose bite results in
illness and sometimes death.
The diminutive lizard, which rare
ly attainS a size in excess of 10
inches, is deadly enemy of the
black widow and has a big appetite
for the poisonous spider and it's
eggs.
Experiments conducted by Ray
mond B. Cowles, University of Cal
ifornia zoologist, indicate that intro
duction of the tiny lizards in num-
bers would be means of control
ling the menace of the black widow.
Cowles said the lizards had been
turned loose in areas affected with
the hour-glass spiders and that in
a short time the poisonous insects
disappeared.

It's New, Is 1t?
Just Old Stuff!
Rubber Glass and Rustless
Iron Centuries Old;
Jewish Swastika.

CLEVELAND. - King Solomon
was right. Everything snew is old
stuff, is the conclusion Of Bill Nc
Kenzie, most avid research worker
in the public library, who slammed
shut the covers Of q book, $50 You
Think It's New" and began citing
examples:
The flapper of not so many years
back didn't start the vogue for
painted fingernails. The real pio-
neers in that field were Cleopatra
and Aspasia, girl friend of Pericles.
AS a matter of fact, a husband
1900 years ago raised ned with his
wife because she used cosmetics so
extravagantly.
Whoever it is that gets credit for
scolding girls for powdering their
noses in public, is just an interlop-
er. Ovid said many centuries ago:
"a statue is never shown until it is
finished"
Beauty Parlors Old, Too.
The modern beauty parlor, where
! women go regularly to have eye
brows plucked, their bodies smoth-
cred in mud and their hair waved,
is just an outgrowth of the ancient
Egyptian days. The Egyptian beau
ties went through the same per-
formances-an for beauty-and
they wore high heels, too.
The fellow who boasts that the
glass in his car is shatter proof
doesn't know what he's missing.
Nineteen hundred years ago, man
made glass that actually was I'M
breakable. The secret has been
lost, so well have to be content
with the nonshatterable material.
Garden tools, or the parts of an
automobile, or most anything metal
will rust in time, unless you take
meticulous care of it. But 80 CEN
turtles ago the citizens near Delhi,
India, didn't worry bit about the
Kutob column, made of II tons of
iron. There still isn't a fieck of
rust on it.
Early Swastika Emblem.
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's swastika,
emblematic of Nordic supremacy,
was found on the fired clay of the
early period from Greenland to the
southernmost tip of the Americas.
The ironic point in this discovery
is that it appeared on pottery of
ancient Hebrews.
kidnapping generally is regarded
as largely American. But that's not
altogether true. Julius Caesar was
kidnapped at the age of 35 and held
for SAC, 900 ransom.
AS for the first gossip columnist-
q Greek chronicler in 720 B. G. re-
ported the choice tidbit that a run
ner named Orsippus ran so hard in
a race that he lost his loin cloth,
but finished, anyway.
Hot dog stands are old stuff. They
originated 1900 years ago.
Elevators and organs certainly
aren't new, either. Emperor Nero,
who watched Rome burn and whiled
away the moments with his fiddle,
had an elevator 120 feet high and a
self-playing organ operated by COM
pressed air.
About the only thing that modern
invention can claim as its own is
the mechanical rabbit used at dog
races. But the rabbits inventor
can't claim the original idea. The
Romans had rat races and used a
piece of sausage as bait for the ro-
dents.
