BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

I Asst month, on Dec. II. in
IL Hartford, Conn, a distin-
guished group of dentists and
doctors celebrated the Tooth an
niVerSary OF the occasion when
Horace Wells first administered
llatieEHtfHg fF,aS-Hftrous Uxide--te
produce aneStheSia for the ex-
traction Of a tooth.
The place and the occasion
are fitting. Horace Wells was a
Hartford citizen. a dentist, and
il was in Hartford that this i'm
portant event in the history Of
surgery and dentistry occurred.
The circumstances Of the his
toric event are that as early as
August. 1910, Or. Wells had
been thinking OF the possibility
Of This and said 90 DR.. l.. =.
Brockctt of Hartford tn a I he
believed a man might be made
so drunk by the inhalation Of
nitrous oxide gas or some simf-
lar agent that dental or other
operations might be performed
on him without any sensation on
the part OF the patient
LIE MADE no practical appli-
IL cation Of his idea, however,
until on Dec. 10. 1914. he at
tended the lecture OF one Gard
ner O. Cotton.
Cotton Travelled from city 10
city giving a lecture and demon
stration Of chemistry.
Chemistry was then very
Apung science indeed
Cotton evidently gave a good
Show.
One OF his stunts was 10 have
members of the audience come
up on the stage and he would
have them inhale nitrous oxide
laughing gas.
They went into gales Of
laughter, and cut up and ca
Vorted about the stage.

DEAR +. B.:
IN THE circumstances, with
your husband home for only
a couple of days, you did ex-
actly right by saying nothing
about your shopping discovery
and the Jealous concern IL
aroused.
Furthermore, I think your
fears are wildly exaggerated,
and my reasons for thinking so
are these:
II the girl meant anything
special TO your husband, her
name. address and telephone
number would be inscribed on
his memory: he wouldn't need
20 carry the memo around.
II he were up 10 something
he wanted 10 hide from you, il
isn't likely he would carry tell
tale evidence in his wallet and
then leave the wallet carelessly
available to your private in
spcction.
You have memories of 13
years intimate knowledge of
John 20 tell you whether he is
essentially LOYAL and honorable.
And my advice is TO review
the memories of those years and
take their testimony.
II your memories say, John
is a man ! can trust; who cares
about my happiness; who has
never let me down" etc.
Then you may know your evil
thoughts do him a great inJus-
tice.
Draw into your mind deep
draughts OF loving belief in
Johns truth and decency and
strength of character; and snap
your fingers at the list Of adj
dresses, as a bogynan that
scared you for a moment.
Also. don't spend so much
time alone.
OverdoSes Of loneliness tend
10 breed morbid thoughts Of all
kinds; and as a mental hygiene
measure. you should share much
OF your leisure with worthwhile
friends. VI. III.

bold doctrine on the right of the
individual 10 be a personality

His is a glorious denunciation
OF those glib phraseologlSts, rep
resented at their best by Henry
Wallace and Harold Laski, who
speak of man IN the mass and
use that ugly category, the
common man.
There is no common man.
as there is no uncommon man.
There is a person, al individual,
a soul, equal with all others IN
the eyes of God equal in ms
right TO salvation no matter
how unequal ne may be in all
else. Therefore, the PontIff
said:
%. The interest and solicit
tude OF the church looks not 80
much to its (democracys) eX-
ternaI structure and OrganlZa-
tion-which depend on the spe-
ciai aspirations OF each people
as to the individual himself, who,
so far from being the object and
as it were a merely passive ele-
ment i'm the social order, is in
fact, and must continue to Ne

WE ARE STILL AT WAR

After an extensive survey, the maya
~.ne Newsweek reports that price control
furfs Of The OPA are gradually losing
sscund largely because of public indiffer-
ace. IN the battle against initiation it de-
'sres that ''the OPA is the rear guard,
iQhsing a delaying action until the day
when mass production and normal distrib-
aation Of civilian goods can catch up with
the unsatisfied demands of the last three
years =.
Perhaps one of the reasons why price
control Is slipping is the growing tendency
o. price regulators to look upon such regu-
sien as more or less permanent insti-
Ga lon. On this basis it does not deserve
Fuhsis support and probably will not get it:
However. as long as VIC are at war, price
ard sage control should continue to re-
sve the fullest public cooperation. Every
Government official should seek this CO.

rrice en- wage control in war is one
thing. Similar control in peacetime is quite
another thng. During the war it may mean
che difference between victory and defeat.
In Feacctime il becomes merely a tool to
p-aiest a profligate government and to de-
sfroy the freedom of the people, and should
not be eondoned. As the New York Times
SAYS. The burden of proof should be
placed on those who wish to continue war

ga these who wish TO terminate it,.

WHEN WE LOST THE FIGHT

1T was just at this stage of the last
war that we lost the fight against infla-
ton declares Chester Bowles. admins
traitor Of the Office Of Price Control, who
tears that 1--WE may make the same tragic
mistakes again
The continuation of our war against
Japan may prevent Americans from jump
ing to the conclusion that the national
emergency is over and that all controls
should be abandoned. However, there will
lie strong tendency to suggest that the
government end all artificial controls and
the sentiment will be strongly expressed as
defeat of Japan nears.
This demand will be based upon the
selfish efforts of some business men to take
advantage OF the situation and also upon
The erroneous conclusion of many citizens
that the cessation of hostiities removes the
necessity for economic controls. Obvious
ly, this is not the case because many months
will elapse before the national economy
will have an opp9rtnnity TO function under
normal world conditions.
The situation is illustrated by the case
of man, taken to hospital for a major
operation. None of his relatives, if they
expect him to live, suggest, as the surgeon
sews him up, that the operation is over and
that the patient return Immediately to
work. Everybody recognizes the inevitable
after-effects and the necessity for period
of convalescence
In much the same sense, the national
emergency has produced profound shock
to the nations economy. While the opera
ton of war may soon end successfully.
there exists the neccs sity of period of
economic sll''lil eonyalescence before any serious
attempt is made to resume vigorous activity
without regard to the effect of the strain
of cur wars.
