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 Chamber of Commerce and the At lanta Society of Dental Surgeons.

Dentists Meet Tuesday Night. D.\ 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 Hoard of Education for permission to make experimental dental tests. The dentists agreed to inspect two schools for a year, without fees, to prove ili<- efficacy of the system.

Once when the prison rs were working on the waterworks h 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. 1 knew a number of them who preferred prison life to freedom. “Neds en calles menos Americanos y 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 strolls from the prison. His meaning was that nobody ever comes out on the street .between 12 o’clock and 2:30 but Americans, and bulls—a statement which has the weight of a proverb 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 w hen 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 hrub, not a Mexican bull but a Bos ton bull terrier. He came towards me belligerent but 1 spoke to him kindly, so glad to see anything so truly American. And as I walked >n that dog followed. Truly only an American and a bull a ere on the streets and later only an American and a bull were 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. 1 had made the acquaintance of about 75 revolutionary leaders who were confined in the penitentiary. Walking with General Rojas, the most prominent of them, one day our conversation grew intimate. “I would think that you revolu tionists would be shot.” 1 said to him "Do you know why I am here?” he asked Before I could speak he answered hi* own question. "1 said that General Orosco was a damned tascal. “All of us would be 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 huahua. He Is confining his staff here so he w ill have them ready w hen he needs them. "The moment he insurges 1 will he freed, and 1 will take you with me.” My interest in the plans of the revolutionists Immediately became Intense. 1 was having an easy time but 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- m mti< e\ ent in ms « hole Experience took place. 1 was the only Amer ican in prison and something of a curiosity. People often came to look at me, and l desired to avoid them as much as possible. But the warden came to me one day anu said that two American women were in his office to sec me. Puzzled but greatly interested l hurried down. I gazed at them, un- ab’. to recognize either, but I care fully noted that they were hand somely dressed. They said they wore interested in my case because I was an American and they wanted to help me. When 1 told them 1 had no law- | vor th*y said they would look after that. My clothes were washed in the prison, but not starched. One of the women arranged to have them starched and laundered out In team. Thcj thej !« f *< without giving an.v information about themselves. A few days :ater. January 26. 1912. my extradition papers arrived anu it locked like the jig was up. I was absolutely ignorant of Mexican law* and 1 hardly expected any of my new friends to come.to my aid with sufficient funds to hire a competent attorney. Help at Last—From a Woman. ' As mysteriously as she had first come to file one of the beautiful j woman returned. With her were two | fine looking Mexicans of the cientiflco (aristocratic) class’. They were law yers.

Her name was Y'ivian Sinclair. They won the case through unseen, forces, at least lo tne. On the night of January 80 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 fighting 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 them. 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. 1 heard just before I left Mexico that he had been executed by Madero Constitutionalist." near Porral, Chi huahua. I have written for verifica tion. Only 85 strong the new lnsurrectos 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 is hard to get them out of their houses at night. The Fight Begins. Clinging to the tops houses and hiding behind fences they began a most vicious and effective attack. They picked off every guard who showed himself on that wall. I was where I could get a good view and every now and then I would see a Federal plug an insurrecto who was* lying fiat on a house roof like stick ing a sharp stick in the back of a toad. (Hie after another were wrig gling to death after such shots. There were 700 men defending the jail and defeat for the lnsurrectos was immi nent when a guard had his head split by a bullet that came through a loop hole. The soldier rolled down a flight of steps' 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. "Flee me and the filing 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. But 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. But they were covered by a band of insurrecto? before they could shoot My heart jumped with joy when the news reached the prison. I felt that I soon would be able to join him. But 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 I ob serve and seek information as to the skirmishes and maneuvers around Chihuahua. The story of Rojas’ first victory was typically Mexican. Captain Mendoza had led the at tack on the jail. Ho was the most unusual looking man 1 have ever seen and as we were closely associated to gether thereafter I became very much interested in his odd personality. He was six feet four inches in height but lie lost two inches of his size in a stoop in his shoulders. His hair and eye lashes were raven black and bis eyes were a greenish gra\ that shined with an uncanni/iess But the oddest thing about him was his mustache, which was a 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 all. But 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 25 men. was captured by Col onel Sevrin, of Madero's forces When Rojas heard of it he declared that Mendoza had freed him and that he was going to the rescue With only 260 men. while Sevrin had 'iOO. Rojas began a ruse. Ap proaching Sevrin after It was too dark for him to tell the number of the revolutionists. Rojas went into camp in plain view. It is the custom to have a camp fire for every ten men. Rojas built about 200 fires. He had his men blow bugles over a long line. The strategy was successful. Under a flag of truce Rojas sent an ulti matum to Sevrin at daybreak next morning that he must surrender Men doza or be annihilated. Sevrin sur rendered Mendoza. And Mendoza'be came a colonel under Rojas, the two marching toward Jaurez gathering men as they went. It really was like Napoleon’s return from Elba. (Continued in Tomorrow’s Georgian.) I timent?
