DENTAL AND

L One of the most Interesting meet-in--In school and professional circles was hed UM even,njf at the Lyndora hotel when the dentists of Hammond and the school board were quests of Dr. Kuhn. medical director In the Hammond public schools. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss tho dental clinic now in operation at Irvincr school It should be of keen Interest to the public that Hammond cnjovs the distinction of having- tho best dental clinic In the suite of Louisiana at tho present time. The clinic Is located in the .Irving school and Hammond, each dentist glviag onehalf day a month of time, free of charge, to the work. The dentist goes to the clinic room and there takes care of ell children who are sent hy the medical department Since September there have fiftynine cases successfully treated as follows: 64 silver .fillings, Z tem porary fillings, 102 extractions, 46 treatments. 13 cleanings, examinations. No work Is done without the consent of the parents. Before a case can be taken to the clinic the school nuraes go to the home of the child and talk the matter over with parents, explaining- what needs (to be done. If the parents' consent Is given, the child Is then scheduled for the clinic and given as grood dental attention as he could possibly get In the doctor's own office. Children from other school are brought to the clinic in one of the school cars. Only cases who cannot possibly afford to have the work done are taken in the clinic. The dentists expressed themselves unanimously as In favor of the clinic. They are co-operating In the finest possible way to make the work a success and deserve the very finest commendation. They ;r!ve their time absolutely free of charge and aro a.i devoted to the boys and girls In the clinic as they would be If the cases were cared for In their own offices. Such a spirit of co-operation cannot help but be an Influence in the school upon the lives of the boys and girls. Besides the work done In the clinic there have been 6S0 bojs and girls who have had dental work done In the regular way. going to their reg-ular dentists. All of which speaks strongly for the work be- i lng done in the Hammond public j schools. The dentists expresed . themselves as htlghy pleased with j the progress that Is being made and j expressed appreciation for the sincere co-operation of the schoo' board. Dr.' Davis and "Or. Gillis ; spoke for the dentists and each j member of the school board responded briefly. The school Is planning especial emphasis on the teaching and p-sc-tice of dentnl hygiene which means that the hlidren are to be properly Instructed in the care of the teech and mouth. This Is just another evidence o( Hammond's excellent schov7l system and progressive professional coorat.on. I ho oentai i'"-'-In the, city are deserving praise for th-Mr work. hleh MASON DEAD E. H.

Out of Strikes Will Come National and State Legislation

BY JOHN Tt SPIVAK tation and coal strikes on a. great f not e-reater scale than the two In the past year are foreseen bv oovernor Henry J. Allen of Kansas. These national strikes said the executives, whoso fight for the industrial court focused the eyes cf the nation on him, will occur"w!thin the next year, or prossibly in two years. CAUSED BY WAOE REDUCTIONS In an exclusive Interview given International News Service todav he said that the trend of reducing wages which will continue In proportion to the reduction In the cot of llvlnsr, will be fought bttferlv by "professional labor leaders" and consequently, the two strikes on a national scale, are bound to come. He declined to say In what field of transportation Industry, one cf the strikes would occur. Out of these two strikes he prophesied, will come national and state legislation which will give to whatever organization the government may have the power to enforce wage decisions made by euch government organization. PROTECTIVE LEGISLATION "The strikes," he said "are bourd to bring about an advance in the interest of the public to bring about leg-isiatlon for Its own protection." The exponent of the industrial court law Is cognizant of the bitter animosity to it by labor leaders, who are determined to fight it to the last but is hopeful of a national realization that such a court is essential for the well being: and protection of the public as well as the employer. The governor was hopeful of the economic conditions that the comingyear would bring In stabilizing industry. DEPTH OF DEPRESSION "The depth of depression has been touched In our Industrial and econ omical life." he said. "The vision of those who see better times ahead is justifiable. I have met some In the past few weeks, leaders In industry and labor who agree that from now on the general tendency will be upward. Bottom has been touched and the turning point reached. This Is true In the agricultural wrld. The farmers realize that the tide has turned. Live stock men are buying- mere. These are but instances of the stabilizing trend." A closer alliance with European business would do much to help stabilize the entire world ths form er eovcrnor said. NO LOGGER IXSIXAR "We aro no longer an Insular na tion. Wo must take account of conditions abroad. I am hopeful of a proper realization of the Amer ican people that the economic con dition abroad must be part of their immediate interest. "The United States will have to treat European conditions in the same spirit that we treat conditions here. Credit will have to be extended to them, and all posibie means to help them get back on their feet must be used.
