HYCIENISTS GIVEN
 MORE PRIVILEGES
Attorney Generals Ruling Places Responsibility on
 Dentist.EmplOyer

Dental hygienists were given sanction of the Attorney Generals office today to examine a patients mouth and make charts of defects, while heretofore they had been considered merely as teeth-cleaner.
 Request for the finding, outlining the dental hygienist's rights of practice was made by the state dental commission.
 Harry L. Brooks, assistant at- torney general, interprets the law literally: He says that the hygien- ist cannot advise the patient of what she has found nor to act her. self "by reason of what she dis- cerns."
 "She may observe even as 1t is permitted upon the part of that ordinary individual, she may chart cavities and defects discovered in the mouth, but such observations should be passed on and reported not to the patient. but to the H- censed dentist under whose super vision she is employed" MT. Brooks opines.
 The dentist, MT. Brooks adds, must verify her findings and assume all responsibility to the patient for such diagnosis as she may make upon her report. The duty of responsibility rests entirely with the licensed den- tist."
 A third question brings the answer that the law makes no distinction between dental hygienists employed in a private office and those working for the state, municipality or board of education.
 The law prohibits the dental hy- gienist from performing any other operation on the teeth, mouth or dis eased tissue of the mouth, or attempt to make diagnosis of the same.
 The hygienists may however re- move calcareous deposit, accretions and stains from the exposed surfaces of the teeth and directly beneath the lree margin of the gums.

remain afloat.
 On top of that, if anything does happen and the ship has to be abandoned, there will be 8 seat in a lifeboat for every individual of the 1900 passengers and 630 crew the America can carry. Most of the lifeboats will be motor pro- pelled and equipped with radio.
 It took the Moro Castle disaster to shock the government into a realization of the defects in the old rules governing ship design. The Moro Castles stairway under pinnings were made of Oregon pine. A long airspace had been left between stateroom ceilings and bulkheads and the deck above, and when the fire started this simply became a deadly flue which spread the flames all over the ship. Wood- en decks were not protected by steel plating. The ship was practically begging for fire.
 All that will be changed in the America. When this 34,000 . ton ship goes down the ways she will not only be the biggest passenger steamer ever built in America-but the safest ever built anywhere.

things like bedding, drapery, and so on can burn.
 The wood planking of her decks is laid over steel. Stateroom bulk heads are built of a non-inflamable asbestos compound. Much of the furniture is of steel or aluminium; even the upholstery has been treat ed so as to be practically fireproof.
 Extensive tests were made be- fore the Americas specifications were drawn up. The Maritime Com- mission got an old, obsolete freight CT, took 1t down on the James river, built staterooms out of all sorts of supposedly fire proof materials, heaped them full of piles of wood, and then set fire to them to see what would happen.
 Some of the supposedly fireproof walls burned like finder. Others didn't burn, but proved such excel- lent conductors of heat that cur-

tains and draperies, hung on the outside, caught fire. Only after mak- ing a great many of these tests did the commission hit upon a material which was 100 per cent safe.
 If 8 passenger on the America drops off to sleep in his berth with lighted cigaret in his fingers, and sets fire to his bedding, he may have an awfully uncomfortable time of it himself-but no matter how hot the fire in his own stateroom, it can't spread to any other part of the ship and the man in the state- room next door won't even know it's warm.

 In addition to being unburnable, the America will be as nearly un- sinkable as ship can be. Her com- partmentation has been devised so that even if three of her major com- partments are fully flooded she will

ARMY MANEUVERS
 IN U. 5. A. BEGIN
75,00O Men Off for Camp; Greatest Peace-Time
 War Games

Washington, Aug. 5.-(UP).- Highways teemed today with mili- tary trucks hauling the first con- tingents of 75,000 men to camps for the beginning of the army's greatest peace-time war games.
 The maneuverS started with mo- bilization of the National Guard in Virginia. By tomorrow night, 17,000 guardsmen from that state, Pennsyl- vania, Maryland and the District of Columbia will have joined 5000 reg ulars at the Manassas and Grove ton, Va, camps for the third corps area exercises.
 Next Saturday the first and sec- ond corps areas will pour out 53,- GOO regular, national guardsmen and organized reserves for maneuvers at PlattSburg, N. Y.
 The third corps games will con- tinue unt Aug. 19; the first and second corps games from Aug. 13 to Aug. 27.
 The army massed 1,7OO trucks for the mobilization of the 17,000 na- tional guardsmen of this area. They were distributed into 68 conveys of four to 34 vehicles each. These con- voys were swarming over all roads in this area today and three-fourths fo the guardsmen were routed through Washington, creating scenes here familiar to most capita; of Europe.
 Wherever possible, the conveys were kept off the main thorough fares, so as not to interfere with weekend civilian traffic, which was increased too by the outpouring from the capital attendant to the adjournment of congress.
 Commanding the games was Maj. Gen. Hugh A. Drumm, chief of the first army with headquarters on Governors Island, New York.

ters and properly files his claim. Benefits under the Railroad Uu. employment Insurance Act are paid for each day over seven that an eligible railroad worker is unemploy- ed in any fifteen consecutive days. This means that if a worker is total- ly unemployed for the fifteen days he can draw eight days of benefits. If he should be unemployed eight days, he would get one day of bene- fit; if unemployed nine days, two days of benefit, and so on. The benefit rates vary from $l.75 to 8 per day, depending on the workers earnings for 1888. Thus total benefits in any flfteen-day period of total unemployment will range from $l4 to $24. The most totally unemploy- ed worker can draw in any one twelve-m nth period is eighty times his daily benefit rate or from $140 to $240, scaled according to what he earned in the railroad industry in 1888.
 Eligibility
 To be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits under the Rail- road Unemployment Insurance Act. an employe must meet the follow ing requirements:
 l. He must have earned $l50 or from a railroad or other em-
 ployer covered by the Rail- road Unemployment Insur-
 ance Act during the calen.
 dar year 1898.
 2. He must register and serve
 @ waiting period of fifteen
 consecutive days in which there are at least eight
 days of unemployment,
 3. He must not have become
 disqualified for benefits due
 to any of the causes spec-
 ifcally set forth in the act.
 All further information with ref- erence to eligibility or disqualifica- tions for benefits will be provided to the worker at the time he regis- ters.
 For New England, the board has established the regional office in the North Station office building at 150 Causeway street. Employers cov- cred by the act, whose principal of- fees are located in New England, which include the standard railroad companies, railway associations, the national railway labor organizations. and few others closely identified with some of the railroads, will for ward the registrations of their em- ployes to that office. After examina- tion of these registrations, checks for benefit payments. as determined, will be sent out by the local federal disbursing officers.
 Ranks of Employes
 The regional force has been al- most entirely recruited from the ranks of employees of the Railroad Retirement Board in Washington, where they have been engaged on matters connected with the admin istration of the Railroad Retire. ment Acts, enacted in 1895 and 1937 These employees were originally drawn from New England when the board built up its force for the pur- poses of administering the Railroad Retirement Act. Their transfer to the New England region, incident to getting the administration of the Unemployment Insurance Act under way, therefore, represented grati- f1cation of the desire of these em- ployes to return to New England. The field agents, of whom ten have been appointed, were recruited from among the employees of the New England railroads.
 Connecticut has two field exam iners: Daniel J. Walsh of 1044 Chapel street. New Haven and Ger aid B. F!..nn of 510 Church street, Hartford.

LEXINGTON HIGH LOSES TWO
GAMES TO COXBURG

Last Friday night in the local gym
the Coxburg boys and girls teams hand
ed the purple cagers twin setback. The
scores were: boys 1922 and girls, 1910.
This was the first time in eleven years
the Coxburg boys had triumphed.
The girls game was slow with Cox
burg handling the ball the majority OF
the time. Neither team could get their
eye on the basket, and the Coxbung
guards showed real ability in stopping
the purple forwards.
The boys game was a thrilling affair.
The boys in purple played their worst
game of the season while Coxburg made
goals from any angle. Dragging foot
work and loose handling of the ball cost
Lexington the game. "Jaybird" Herbert,
Lexington forward, made fifteen points
to lead in individual scoring. In the

why President Garfield was assassinated
or was he. As my good friend p and col
