Army Dental Corps
Abreast With New
War Inventions
Gen. Fuirbunk TuIks
To 5000 Dentists in
Convention Here

The United States Army Dental
Corps now is in process of expansion
in which its size has been approxi-
mately doubled in four years, Brig
Gen. L. G. Fairbank told the Five
State Dental Association which
opened its annual convention at the
Mayf1oWer today with nearly 5000
dentists from Washington and near
by States in attendance.
Dentistry, Gen. Fairbank said, now
is accepted as an integral branch
of military medicine in plans for
national defense. simultaneously
with the increase in personnel, he
said, notable advances are being
made in the techniQues of treating
jaw injuries from gunshot wounds,
especially through the work of Col.
Roy Stout and his associates at the
Army Dental School at Walter Reed
Hospital.
New Types of Splints.
These advances, he said, have
been most notable in the develop
ment of new types of splints for
broken jaws which are far lighter
and more comfortable The heavy
jaw splints of World War days, he
explained, often caused almost un-
endurable discomfort to wounded
soldier because of the weight of the
material and the general awkward
ness of the procedure. A group
composed of both military surgeons
and dentists is working together on
developments which will do away
with much of the hideous disfgure
ment which sometimes followed
facial injuries in the last war.
The Dental Corps, he said, is well
aware that it will have new prob
lens to face in a future conflict
such as those arising from explod-
ing bullets particularly designed to
shatter bone. The Army dentists
are keeping abreast of such prob
lens, he explained, by making use
of the advancing technique of bone
gratis developed by orthopedic sur
geons. These involve use of pieces
of bone from the patients own
body wherever possible, but in cases
of necessity sheep bones can be used
First Aid Program.
One of the most notable advances,
Gen. Fairbank said, is in the de-
velopment of a first aid program
for jaw injuries. In the last war
these were considered entirely a
field for specialists to be treated at
base hospital and often very little
was done for a wounded man at
first. Now, he said, soldiers of the
Medical Corps will be trained to give
the necessary early treatment as
soon as possible after an injury is
received. From this point on there
will be a continual building up
process as the patient is moved back
from one station to another until he
finally reaches base hospital with
entirely adequate equipment.
DR.. John j. Posner of New York
told of new and simpler methods of
administering local anaesthesias for
minor oral surgery. Drs. Wilmer
Souder and Ira c. Schoonover of
the Bureau of Standards reported
their progress on the development
of dental cements-a cooperative
project between the bureau and the
American Dental Association.
The convention was opened with
a welcome from DR.. James w.
Brown, president of the District of
Columbia Dental Society, and by DR..

Plea for Bigger
Ga||inger Fund
To Be Made
Fight Over Control
Not Yet Settled
Despite Study

Members of the Subcommittee on
Public Health. Hospitals and Chari-
ties of the House District Committee,
who are now investigating condi-
tions at Gallinger Hospital, made
preparations today to appear before
the House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee handling the 1910 District
budget to appeal for increased funds
for the institution.
The subcommittee also completed
arrangements to resume its inquiry
into conditions at the hospital to-
morrow at 10 am. Its hearings will
be held in the House Claims Com
mittee room instead of the District
Committee room, which is to be
occupied the remainder of the week
by the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee
in connection with its study of the
proposed new tax program.
The Gallinger Investigating Sub
committee expects to make its ap-
pearance before the Appropriations
Subcommittee the latter part of the
week. when public health items IN
the 1910 budget are taken up for
consideration. Chairman Collins of
the Appropriations Subcommittee
has promised the investigating sub
committee hearing.
Fight Not Settled.
Meantime, Chairman Bates OF the
Investigating Subcommittee said the
fight over control of the major wards
of the hospital is far from finished
despite the reported tentative set
tlement reached after study OF the
situation by Richard Mackenzie,
hospital expert drafted by the Com
missioners to make an investigation.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Hazen
said he still had IAN open mind
in the controversy. He said that
Mr.. Mackenzie had not yet sub
mitted his solution, which, it is un-
derstood, would restore control OF
the hospitals major wards to the
George Washington and George
town Universities Medical Schools.
When the report is submitted.
probably within the next few days.
Mr.. Hazen indicated, it will be re-
ferred to Corporation Counsel Seal.
Mr.. Hazen said he had conferred
with Mr.. Saturday to dis
cuss informally the investigators
proposals.
designations Hinted.
While restoring control to the Wis
iting staffs of the medical schools,
Mr.. Mackenzie is understood to con-
template retention of the present
resident physicians. The visiting
doctors would be required to devote
a specified amount OF time at the
hospital, 1t was reported. Those in
charge, however, would have depu-
ties approved by the health officer
and the Commissioners. The report
also would recognize the present
status of the hospital under the
Health Department.
Health Officer George c. Rutland
said he had not seen Mr.. Macken-
zie's report, but if it contemplated,
as reported, a return to the old
system, it was "absurd."
He added that if the proposal
went into effect there was a posi-
bility of the resignation of our
. men, Under Mr.. Mackenzie's pro-
posals, the resident physician would
be in control only in the absence
of the visiting physician in charge
