The first to be registered in such a

first bombing attack on Finland by
the Soviet with drinking parties, while
the Finnish people were at their
churches praying for their afflicted
relatives and friends over there. Those
who participate in such celebrations in
secret, as they thought, are listed by
the committee, investigating un-Ameri-
canism, we are told, as rank and avowed
Communists who have become tanned to
such an extent that they vociferously
deny their affiliations with the red

tough, if not more so, than your own
original tooth material.
Your great grandparents had no
such choices. If they had the tooth
ache they just had to bear it until
the travelling toothpuller came to
town, settled himself in q room in
the village tavern, put up his advcr-
tisements in the window, and began
to handle the toothaches accumu-
lated since his last visit. There
might be month or six months be-
tween his visits. If during this in
terum the tooth got too bad, the
family doctor might try his hand at
yanking it out. He was wont to
preface his performance by saying
he wasn't very good at it, but if he
could find his forceps he'd have a
go at it. Maybe he couldn't find his
forceps and the veterinary or the
blacksmith OF the village carpenter
would have a go at it. Of course
there was no anaesthetic, local OF
general, to mitigate the pain, and
no attempt to do anything but pull
the tooth out. If it ached, it was a
goner. There was no fixing it up,
and nothing to do for the yawning
cavity that remained after its re-
moval. Hence there was a good deal
of inefficient chewing in those days
and a whole train Of dyspeptic
symptoms in the wake Of the early

He faltered in his own speech
now because Lola's deep dark eyes
had turned soulfully up to him,
where usually they seemed to droop
shyly behind long lashes. She was
like hurt child, loved one whose
trust had been cruelty misused.
Bill swallowed. He wasn't accus-

to take a mans refuge again
which is stubbOrnness and anger.

All at once she was crying hard
again, leaning against Gayle. Con-

only hold the other girl and look
miserably at the young man.
Bill touched Lola's shoulder and
spoke almost desperately. Il know

He tramped about the streets an.
nouncing his trade in this way, ana
his cognomen was considered to be
a stroke of genius in allaying the
apprehension of the candidates Tor
his ministrations.
These reflections are suggested by
the centenary celebration OF the
anniversary of the founding OF the
first dental school in the United
States, and, indeed, in the world, the
Baltimore College of Dental Sur
gerry, founded by Drs. Chapln A.
Harris and Horace Henry Hayden.
The qualifications for entrance were
a knowledge of reading and wrltlng
and arithmetic. They studied tour
months and were then looscd upon
a suffering world.
There were four in that trst
graduating class, but they have IN
creased rapidly so now there are
$4,000 dentists in the United States.
These men have to have at least a
high-school education, and they
study anatomy, physiology, and bac-
teriology in courses alongside the
medical students. They continue
their studies four years, and the
things they learn about helping
teeth would make their predecessors
of only hundred years ago green
with envy.
1t isn't so much the conquest OF
death-dealing diseases that makes
life endurable in our days, but the
commoner things - dentistry and
spectacles, hearing aids, bathtuDs
and refrigerators.
In the article tomorrow we Will
review some of the improvements OF
modern dentistry.
