Monday marked the beginning and Tuesday he end of dental examina tions in the Bell Street and Crew Street Schools by representatives of the joint committee of the Atlanta Chambei of Commerce and the At lanta Society of Dental Surgeons. It was the third of a series of tests begun last September at the re quest of the Chamber of Commerce and continued in .January, to prove the beneficial effects of sound leeth on scholarship and attendance, gen eral health and moral character. V. H. Kriegshaber. from the Cham ber of Commerce, and Dr. H. W. Pos ter, Dr. C. M. Barnwell,. Dr. DeLoa Hill and Dr. M. D. Huff, from the dental society, make up the joint committee. Dentists Meet Tuesday Night. Dr. Hill and Dr. Foster, who made the actual tests, will meet with the other dentists Wednesday night and make up the final report to be sub mitted to the Chamber of Commerce, whence it will be sent to the Board of Education with recommendations. “Statistics have not been compiled, but from results already noted we believe the full data will warrant a recommendation that dental inspec tions in the public- schools be made permanent.’’ said Mr. Kriegshaber. Following published results of ben efits of five years’ medical inspection in the public- schools, the Chamber of Commerce last September asked the Board of Education for permission to make experimental dental tests. The dentists agreed to inspect two schools for a year, without fees,- to prove the ' dicar.V of the system. At the- first tests pupil? were pro vided with written notices to parents "f needed dental treatment. When these notices resulted in securing treatment, the operating dentists tied the slips, which were returned tu the examiners. Additional signed shu were collected Monday and Tne-da> after the final tests.

"We hope to get this report fin ished Tuesday night," said Mr. Krieg- shaber. “We are sure it will war rant. the recommendation that dental examinations be made permanent. Then if the Board of Education ap proves our recommendation, we want to submit it to the Finance Com mittee of the City Council Thursday morning, if possible, and secure the necessary appropriation and author ization for permanent dental inspec tions in all Atlanta public schools."

By J. WYLIE SMITH. (Continued from Yesterday.) 1 was given a room over the war den? office. I had credit at Ihe commlsffiiry You have to furnish your own bed clothing and buy any food you get except etole, a sort of gruel, bif stik furnished to you raw —and frijole, beans cooked In pure water at every meal. Grease and ?al! are unknown. I remember a hideous tragedy one day a? a result of the practice of allowing the prisoners to cook their own meals In tnelr cells. A peon, held for murder, was found dead in bed one morning, his charcoal pot still giving off its fumes over him. Soon I was allowed to go down town without a guard. The discip line in Mexican prisons Is lax. Once when the prisoners were working on the waterworks a number of them stole away and got drunk. When they returned the only punishment that was administered was that they were not allowed to return to work but were forced to play. They suf fered, though. They hated to give up their wages. I knew' a number of them who preferred prison life to freedom. “Neda en calles menos Americanos v toras." spoke a Mexican who was reclining under the shade of a tree in his yard as I passed down the street on one of my dally stroll? from the prison. His meaning was that nobody ever come? out on the street between 12 o’clock and 2:80 but Americans and hulls—a statement which has the weight of a pro f erb in Mexico. All business houses are closed between those hours. Indeed It was a hot sultry day and I was regretting that I had come out when suddenly I was startled out of my laziness by a sharp piercing bark. My footsteps had aroused a bull who was lying In the shade of a shrub, not a Mexican bull but a Bos ton hull terrier. He* came towards me belligerent but I spoke to him kindly, so glad to see anything so truly American. And as 1 walked on that dog followed. Truly only an American and a bull were on the streets and later only an American and a bull wore together at another place, the presence of the bull changing the trend of fate from savage death to the greatest triumph of my life. But that was later. However, the Interesting and Important things which led up to It began to absorb my attention. For the first time a personal Interest was aroused In me in the revolutionary movement. I had made the acquaintance of about 75 revolutionary leaders who were confined in the penitentiary. Walking w ith General Rojas, the most prbminent of them, one day our conversation grew Intimate. “1 would think that you revolu tionists would be shot,” 1 said to him. “Do you know why 1 am here?” he asked Before 1 could speak he answered his own question. “1 said that General Orozco was a damned tascal. “All of us would he shot,” he con tinued, "but Orozco has plan? of his own." Orozco’s Plan. “He is planning a new revolution. On March he will resign as com mander of the Federal forces in Chi- hua uiu. lie is confining his staff here so lie '* ‘11 have them ready when he needs them “The moment he insurges I will be freed, and 1 will take you with me." My interest in the plans of the revolutionists Immediately became intense. I was having an easy time hut things were getting monotonous. 1 did not know how long 1 would be held a prisoner nor how much chance 1 had of escaping extradition. My fighting blood was up. Added to my fear of being taken back to Atlanta and being tried was the ire aroused by the treachery of my pursuers, like Franke I was determined to outwit them Then there is nothing in the world like Anglo-Saxon freedom. Then the strangest and most ro mantic event in my whole experience took place. 1 was the only Amer ican in prison and something of a •uriositv. Prople often came to look at* me, and l desired to avoid them as much as possible. But the warden came to me one day and said that two American women were in his office to see me. Puzzled but greatly interested 1 hurried down. 1 gated at them, un- I ab’e to recognize either, but 1 care fully noted that they were hand- souiely drevsed. They said they were interested in my case because 1 was an American and they wanted to help I me. When I told them 1 had no law- | ver they said they would look after • that. My clothes were washed in the j prison, but not starched. One of the women arranged to have them starched and laundered out in town. They they left without giving any j information about themselves. A few days *ater January 26. 191? my extradition papers arrived anu it locked like the jig was up. 1 was absolutely ignorant of Mexican law j I and 1 hardlx expected any of my ) { nev friends* to come to my aid w ith j suffl< i *nt funds to hire a compt i nt ( attorney.

He said thex were fuii of I asked her why she nad taken such an interest in mv cane. "You are an American; so am i. she said. “You have a wife and child to b» saved (for I had told her of my family): I have no one In the world to care for.” I found that she was a somewhat notorious woman in Chihuahua and 1 also learned from other sources than herself that she had paid each of those lawyers $400 In gold to defend m . Her name was Vivian Sinclair. They won the case through unseen forces, at least to me. On the night of January 30 the people of Jaurez went to sleep under the seemingly peaceful rule of Made ro. They awoke the next morning at daybreak—Mexicans always begin lighting at daybreak—to find a band of revolutionists In possession of everything. They looted the post- office and the customs house, burning all the papers in a bonfire in the streets. My extradition papers* were among t hem. I have often thought that Porras knew what was going to happen and 1 was Just as grateful to him as though he had won the case in court. I heard Just before I left Mexico that he had been executed by Madero Constitutionalists near Porral, Chi hu ihua. I have written for verlflca tion. Only 83 strong the new insurrectos started toward Chihuahua to storm the Jail. They arrived on February 2 and at daybreak the next morning began storming the jail. Such grit i have never seen, before or since. Those Mexicans are slow starting and they always stop at dark they have absorbed the superstition from the Yaqui Indian that the soul leaves the body after dark. It hard to get them out of their houses at night. The Fight Begins. Clinging to the tops }f houses and hiding behind fences they began most vicious and effective attack. They picked off every guard who showed himself on that wall. I was where I could get a good vie^v and every now and then I would see ; Federal plug an insurrecto who wa lying flat on a house roof like stick ing a sharp stick in the back of ; toad. One after another were wrig gling to death after such shots. There were 700 men defending the jail and defeat for the insurrectos was Immi nent when a guard had his head split by a bullet that came through a loop hole. The soldier rolled dow n a flight of step.” and landed some twenty feet away at the feet of the Warden, his ghastly face turned upward. “Stop the fighting,” shrieked the Warden, and he turned to General Rojas for help. "They want me," replied General Rojas “Free me and the firing will stop in five minutes.” The Warden would not consent, but the fighting continued so fierce he consented to allow Rojas to see the Governor with a guard of five men. The visit to the Governor was a mere formality. He refused the par don. Rut on the return to the jail Rojas, walking a few paces in front of hi.« guard, turned a corner ahead of them at the corner of Calle Liber- •stad and Calle Tercera and took to his heels. "Halt.” shouted the guard, and they raised their guns. Hut they were covered by a band of insurrectos before they could shoot M.v heart Jumped with joy when the news reached the prison. I felt that 1 soon would be able to Join him. Rut my blood was chilled the next day by that most horrible of all features of warfare—the shooting of a traitor. General Orozco came down from Jaurez next day. He wanted Rojas free, but to make a show of enforcing authority he ordered the five guards shot as traitors, the finding of the court martial being that they had pur posely allowed Rojas to escape. No one knows what cruelty a Mexican can resort to. Rojas was as good as his word. The firing stopped before his guard re turned to the Jail. Eagerly did 1 ob serve and seek information as to the skirmishes and maneuvers around Chihuahua. The stony of Rojas’ first victory was typically Mexican. Captain Mendoza had led the at tack on the Jail. He was the most unusual looking man I have ever seen and as we were closely associated to gether thereafter 1 became very much interested in his odd personality Ho was six feet four inches in height hut lie lo.”t two inches of his size in a stoop in his shoulders. His hair and eye lashes were raven black and his eyes were a greenish gray that shined with an uncanniness. But the oddest thing about him was his muMtaehe. which was n brilliant red. He was as active as a cat and the most wicked man I have ever seen When Rojas escaped his plan was to attack the jail and free us al' Hut Mendoza had retreated out from the city. The reason Mexican revolu tions last so long is that an army never will follow up a victory Out from Chihuahua Mendoza, with about . men. was captured bv Col onel Sevrin, of Modem’s forces When Rojas heard of it h* declared that Mendoza bar] freed him and that he was going to the rescue. With only 260 nu n. while Sevrin ha.l ,00. Rojas began a ruse. Ap. proavhing Sevrln after it was too (lark for him to tell the number of the revolutionists. Rojas went into camp In plain view. It is the custom to bate a camp fire for everv ten men. Rojas built about 201 fires He had his men blow bugles over a long line. The strategy was successful. Under a tiag of truce Rojas sent an ulti matum to Sevrln at daybreak next morning that he must surrender .Men doza or be annihilated. Sevrln sur rendered Mendoza. And Mendoza be came a colonel under Rojas, the two marching toward Jaurez gathering men as they went. It real'-, was liKe Napoleon’s return from Elba. (Continued in Tomorrow's Georgian ) MRS.

(’hairman W. O. Humphrey, of,the (’ouncil Finance Committee, said Tuesday that the maximum amount of new money to be apportioned in June would be $120,000. This in cludes all Increases in revenue, he explained.' Tiie adoption of the Whitehall Street regrading plan and other proj ects that developed at the meeting of Council Monday would require an expenditure of more than twice that amount. Council’s action in calling on the Finance Committee to provide $30,000 for the Whitehall Street work practically assures the beginning of that project this year, but advocates of other much needed improvements will suffer bitter disappointment. Candler Anticipates Veto. Declaring that the form of the resolution presented by the Streets lory had taken it. Committee, providing for the White hall Street work, invited a veto, Al derman John S. Candler said: “But I am going to vote for it now and after it is vetoed.” The School Board wants $75,000 for an English-Commercial Girls’ High School building. The Grady Hospital hoard got $25,000 for a nurses’ dormitory in January and they declare it will take $25,000 more to complete the building. Chairman Orville Hall, of the Streets Com mittee, insisted that $50,000 was nec essary for nexv streets. All depart ments want* additional appropriations. Not Enough to Go Around. There simply won’t be enough money in the June budget to go around. In view of this situation Council adopted Councilman Albert Thom son's resolution creating a special committee of ten eouncilmen and five citizens to investigate the advisa bility of a bond issue. Mayor Pro Tern Warren will announce this com mittee within a few days. On one matter Council was unani mous. Every one voted aye over ruling Mayor Woodward’s scorching veto of the fire department probe committee's report vindicating Chief Cummings of the charges of graft and corruption. Council Charles W. Smith made a vigorous speech de fending the committee against Mayor Woodward’s attack. Alderman James R. Nutting en deavored to settle the Police Board row over the authority of Chief Beav ers to promote subordinates by put ting through an ordinance giving all heads of departments power to name their assistants. Police Deadlock Stands. Mayor Pro Tern Warren, opposing the ordinance, declared it was intro duced for the purpose of politics and that it would reduce board members to mere figureheads. Alderman Nutting replied that Mayor Pro Tern Warren’s attitude was the most palpable sort of poli tics. The ordinance was referred to th** Ordinance Committee. The Police Board’s tangle caused by a tie vote over the right of the chief to pro mote subordinates remains unsettled. A ^surprise to some of the mem bers was the vote sustaining the veto of Mayor Woodward of the dog muz zling ordinance. Mayor Woodward ridiculed the ordinance as absurd and Council sustained his*veto by a vote of 15 to override and 9 against. It takes a ty/o-thirds vote to set aside a veto.
