fad of radical exodontia Is dis.
tinctly losing it's momentum. For
years We have been in an orgy of
tooth pulling. An eminent dental
authority said recently that every
dentist should do his utmost to
place all infected teeth in healthy
condition, and only when that has
failed should extraction be con-
sidered.
The head of a large memorial
dental clinic states that the fact
that a tooth has lost it's pulp
(nerve), or that a degenerative
change has taken place around the
root end, are not of themselves
sufficient reasons for extraction.
More Conservative
The theory of focal infection
also has undergone a somewhat
conservative change. DR.. Charles
Mayo said: "the future of medical
science rests with the doctor who
can stop or kill the germs as they
develop in the mouth" The future
OF medical science is somewhat
large order. Doctor Rosenow, one
OF the leaders of the focal infec-
ton idea, writes: 81 do not advo.
cate wrecking the MOUTH" adding
later, but | do believe a tooth is
only a tooth, while a life is worth
more than all the teeth in the
world"
Doubts about the relation of
focal infection to many human dis
eases are recently expressed by
Drs. Arnett and Ennis, who say:
no statlstically significant asso-
cation can be demonstrated be-
tween APPEAL infection of teeth and
underwelght, arthritis, kidney dis
ease, chorea or heart disease.

Save Every Tooth
Gxtrocfions Not Always Necessary
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

IA CORRESPONDENT writes,
''ir connection with your article on
arthritis | have a question to ask
and that is in connection with
dead teeth. Should one with arth-
ritis have all his dead teeth cx-
tTacted ?"
1t is very good question. CUES
tiCns are good in proportion to the
difficulty one has in answering
them. So if this is very good, you
must expect the answer to be
somewhat qualified.
The principles which form the
background Of the question are:

score, as both he and his partner
were prepared to use the deduc-
tive double if necessary.
After South's Diamonds got
passed by North, East knew the
opponents had no very great
strength. and that therefore his
partner had something Of value,
probably some Of it in one of the
major suits. His double assured
his side of a plus score of some

make only two in their suit. When
the opponents went to three, they
were in for a one-trick set, but

Waterbury Expected to Provide 55 in Next Induction Move; First Contingent Given Assignment at Devens

Fourteen volunteers have already listed their names with local draft boards for the January Selective Service induction and with more applications expected a good part of this city's contingent of 35 will be volunteers. The first local group that left here for camp last month consisted of IA members, all volun- teers.
 The four draft boards are pre- pairing to send notification to those assigned to camp with the January quota. The state quota is 662. Meantime the boards and their clerks are kept busy classifying additional returned questionnaires
 The two latest volunteers for mili- tary training are Michael Farina, of 9 West Porter street, and Pat rick Daigle of 295 North Main street.
 Only two of the IA who left here tn Novembtr remain at Fort Dev- ems, Mass. Eight have been trans ferred to Camp Edwards, at Fal- mouth, Mass, and word of two other transfers was received today. Daniel J. Gugliotti has been assigned to Fort Preble, Portland, Me, and AL bert Stasilunas has been ordered to Fort Wright, Fishers Island, N. Y.

Proposition Offered
 On Meter Collections
Board Refers Proposal to Committee e-New Bus Stops
 Suggested; Policemen Want to Join State Assn

mond was that the bus stop on the west side of Leavenworth street near the Colonial Trust Co., be moved further toward Kendrick avenue on Leavenworth street. This change would prevent congestion near the present would also result as a bene- it to a bus driver when he started his bus as it would eliminate the slight incline.
 MT. Drummond was advised by Chairman William J. Verriker to submit a letter to the traffic com mittee.
 A vote was made to amend the ordinance banning all-night park ing by making the period from l a. m. to ' a. m. instead of the previous midnight until 2 m. ban, at which time no car could park continuously for more than that allotted time. This was on all-night workers to extend an extra hour and Comsr. William Bannon made the motion. Chair man Verriker approved the motion, and Supt. of Police> William J. Roach said that the police would not be checking the cars before that time.
 A letter from the Italian Demo- cratic Club Auxiliary was received by the board and placed on file opposing the recent proposal of the Taxpayers association to whittle down the present police force, and the club was in favor of increasing its present force.
 Many other letters were received thanking the police department and praising Capt. William Duggan and Patrolman William Dwyer for the aid given at the Saturday afternoon Christmas party for children held by the Chase Foremen's association at the Buckingham Hall.
 Katherine Herman in 8 letter expressed gratitude for the services of the motor patrol during the funeral of her husband.
 A letter of thanks was sent by MT. and Mrs. Fred J. Busey of Bank street, for the actions taken by Sergt. Anthony Mariana and Patrolman Jerry Conlon in the helping the parents get in touch with the Hartford Hospital to give permission for an operation for their son, Eugene Busey.

A collection fee of 6 cents meter was proposed to the police board yesterday by C.. J. Griffin, repre- sentative for the Brinks, Inc, which furnishes armored car ser- vices in transporting money. The letter was placed on file without comment.
 This service would be rendered by the concern for making the collec- tions from meters throughout the city. The board showed little in- clination of adopting it in the fut- ure as the collections will be made by the police department, thereby entailing no cost to the city.
 The concern stated that it was making the collections in Utica, N. Y. and said that the plan was working along fine.
 Another matter taken up at the board last was request for per- mission to become affiliated with the Patrolmen and Firemen's asso- citation of Connecticut which was submitted by a committee of police men. No action was taken by the board, the petition being referred to its committee on men and discipline.
 A similar request was made pre- viously but the former Mayor Pa trick Perriello asked that the re- quest be withdrawn and the matter investigated. It was believed that the action prompting the withdraw al was that the association might in pressure the officers and the board itself, consequently resulting in lack of discipline.
 The associations objectiveS would be, according to members on the committee, to improve the morale of both the fire and the police de- pjartments, and eliminate any diff ferences occurring among them selves.
 The firemen's request was signed by a committee consisting of Maurice J. Altman, William J. Clas- by and Joseph F. Maloney, while the police petition was signed by a committee consisting of Michael Carroll, Sgt. George Gooding, John D. Cronin, Joseph Phelan, Terrence Lynch, Raymond Grady and James J. Downey.
 A suggestion of the police board was made for a change concerning the present stop for Connecticut Railway & Lighting Go. busses on West Main street between Leaven- worth and Lewis streets. A. J. Drum mond, local superintendent of the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Go. This change MT. Drummond said would make transfers, between 6 and 10 a. m. when 1900 passen- gers enter and are discharged, more convenient. The proposed stop would be nearby Exchange place.
