GUS SlffiTS IP SDY The dentists play, a most .important part In the placing, of an army In the field. A large percentage of the men who apply ior army service are , -rejected'beeause of defective teeth, defect the average i army t applicant cannot remedy for lack of funds.

Offer Free Service. To prevent thousands' of "Indiana young men from being rejected, for army service, In the event of war. because of bad teeth a proposal will' be made to the members of the Indiana State Dental Society' at their annual -meeting in -Indianapolis May 16, 17 and 18, that each .member of the organization shall pledge himself -to render dental services, free of charge, to at leas one-man who 'has been rejected by army recruiting officers because of defective teeth. This duestlor,, will be introduced at the Dental Society meeting by the Richmond members. . play Prominent Part. "The 'dentists' not only "of Indiana but of every other state should "play thetr part' in this 'preparedness' movement, and we dentists have a very important part , to Play." said a Richmond dentist - today. "The i national d ental organization has already launched the movement to assist the recruiting service In the reclamation of recruit rejected for no other .cause than defective-teeth. Not all the dentlsts in Indiana, however, are memi bers of the national body. The great ,' majority,, of them are members of the. , etate society, so if the plan is adopted by the Indiana organization this state, in the event of war, would send to the 'colors, several thousand young men who otherwise would be refused enlistment because of dental - deficiencies. ! Sergeant 'Bond, army recruiting officer in Richmond, states ' that any number of young men who 'are physically robust, of the correct height and weight, are rejected when they, apply for enlistment because their teeth are bad, and the majority of these men', he says, have no dental work done because they cannot .meet the etpense. ' "The plan the dentists are n6w working on will be a. real . patriotic service to the nation in the event of war," Sergeant Bond, added.

LaLJUULi SOLDIERS GET PAID ATTENDING SCHOOLS IN ARMY "There has never been any better time for a man to join the army than now," Lieutenant Coppock declared yesterday afternoon while inspecting the local recruiting station. "The army is being increased to twice its present size, and this will necessitate twice the number of officers. Most of these men must come from the ranks. ."' "I can not understand . why the young men of the country hesitate to take advantage of opportunities such as are offered by the army. - They get paid for going to school. A young man in the army can go to school an long as he wants to and can take almost anything he cares to. Moreover, a good job is always waiting for him when he finishes. After a medium length period of service the soldier is retired on a good pension. If while the young soldier is , going to school, he becomes crippled in any way, he is given a pension. If during the service the soldier is in any way injured, he Is retired on a pension. Show, me any business firm that will offer such inducements. Yet the army has to beg men to; Join." - P, 8. SOLDIER DIES.. , WASHINGTON, May 3. Maj. Gen.

Witt the Eighteenth regiment of Pittsburg patrolling the streets, and more companies of state militiamen arriving hourl, an ominous quiet prevailed today in Braddock, the scene of yesterday's opening battle in Pittsburg's industrial war. The troops were sent in response to frantic telegrams by Sheriff Richards to Governor Brumbaugh. Labor leaders view their coming with apprehension. They point out that the arrival of the state troops in the Pitt6burg district always has been the signal for renewed outbreaks,; On other occasions , many of the guardsmen have refused to fire into crowds when ordered to do so. AMERICAN CAPITAL DEVELOPED MEXICO EL PASO. Texas, May 3. Throughout the great Mexican state of Chihua hua it, is hard to find a great enterprise mine, smelter, railroad, slaugh ter house, trolley line, lumber mill or fine modern city suburb wh'ich has not been developed by Americans or Englishmen and is not owned outside of Mexico. - The utter incapacity of the -Mexicans to take advantage of their immensely rich native country is shown everywhere. Where the American troops are now operating many of the large ranches and timber tracts are owned by foreign Interests. ; The Corralitos ranch, figuring In Villa raids, has' been owned about forty years by an American syndicate. It cointains 900,000 acres. In ordinary times it has 40,000 head of high grade cattle, 25,000 head of sheep, several thousand Angora goats and 5,000 head of horses and mules.

The failure of council .to give the required majority necessary to pass the ordinance authorizing ' the issuance of $10,000 of bonds .to motorize the fire department and to purchase a police ambulance-patrol, placing the bill back to second reading, is a source of embarrassment' to 'the administrative officers, although no criticism of counefTs action has been heard. It was following the unanimous adoption of .a resolution by council, March 20V Instructing the mayor, controller and board of public, works to draft plans for the financing of the fire department motorization and the purchase of an ambulance-patrol,' that the administrative officers began working out details of the plan. -Work Out Details.

Get two ounces of solvite at any drug store and put It in two gallons of gasoline, where it quickly dissolves. Then .put in the goods to be cleaned. After a little rubbing out they come looking bright and fresh as new. You will find -nothing fades, shrinks or wrinkles, requiring no pressing. You would have to pay $5 at a dry Cleaning establishment for the cleaning which can be dne at home as easily as laundering. Any grocery or garage will supply the gasoline, and your druggis will sell you two ounces , of solvite which is simply a gasoline soap, then a large dishpan or wash boiler completes your dry cleaning outfit ' v - As gasoline is very inflammable be sure to do your dry cleaning out of doors or in a room away rom fire or flame with the windows left open.
