GENIAL TESTS IN
Board Conducting Experiments
Will Make Strong Recommen
dation for Examinations.
Dental examinations of all chil
dren in Atlanta public schools will he
permanently provided for unless V.
H. Kriegshaber. of the Chamber of
Commerce, and representatives of the
Atlanta Society of Dental Surgeons
are too optimistic over their forth
coming report.
Monday marked the beginning and
Tuesday the 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 teeth
on scholarship and attendance, gen
eral health and moral character.
V. H. Kriegshaber, from the Cham
ber of Commerce, and Dr. S. W. Fos
ter. Dr. C. M. Barnwell, Dr. DeLos
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 Tuesday night and
make up the final report to he 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 he 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 efficacy of the system.
At the first tests pupils were pro
vided with written notices to parents
of needed dental treatment. When
these notices resulted in securing
treatment, the operating dentists
signe'd the slips, which were returned
to the examiners. Additional signed
slips were collected Monday and
Tuesday after the final tests. Records
of pupils in attendance, deportment
and scholarship, both those who
acted on the suggestions and those
who did not, will be compared, and
the results, with other figures, will
make up the dentists’ report.
Finish Report Tuesday.
"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.’’
In the Crew’ Street and Bell Street
Schools nearly r>00 pupils were ex
amined. Dr. Foster and Dr. Hill were
surprised at getting through in two
days, since they expected three would

WASHINGTON, May 20.—Diamond
dealers throughout the world, but es
pecially in all Europe, have cold shiv
ers every time they think of the year
1912. It was a blue year in Europe
for luxuries of all kinds, particularly
for expensive jewels.
The most surprising part about it,
according to United States Consul
General Henry W. Diederioh, station
ed at Antwerp, is that every Antwerp
dealer expected on January 1, 1912,
the best year in the history of his
firm. The year previous had liter
ally been marvelous, Mr. Diederioh
says, for all engaged in the diamond
industry, and when the new year 1912
began all conditions seemed favora
ble to them to make it equally pros
perous or more so.
“In the face of this outlook.” adds
Mr. Diederioh, "business began to
-darken somewhat during the spring
and summer, owing to a rise in the
price of raw material. Retailers
with a sufficient stock on hand were
not eager to buy. It was hoped that
business would take a new impetus
in the second half year. when, how-
i ver, international political troubles
I rose putting a damper on all the us
ual transactions in the diamond trade.
On the one hand fear of war and on
the uther the tight money market
showed its effect immediately upon
II articles of luxury, so that 1912
id not reach the average mark. Such

mond market at Antwerp in 1912.
which was. however, relieved by one
favorable market—the diamond trade
with the United States, which con
tinued vi ry brisk to the end of the

Hapeville Man Sighs
For Canned Goods.
“My wife,’’ said the Hapeville man,
as he settled down in his seat in the
car bound for town, “has worried her
self half-way ill over the prospect of
little fruit this year. Last year she
got it into her head that she should
can some fruit and vegetables. She
kept after me until I bought her a
canner, and right away, with the aid
of the children, she set to work to
can everything in sight.
“Every evening when I returned
home it was to find the evidences of
a strenuous day’s work in our home
canning factory. 1 couldn’t tell you
how manv cans of all sorts of things
she did put away for future refer
ence. This past winter she began
to make calls upon her stock. And,
believe me. we had the best eating all
through the season that 1 ever expe
rienced.
“The wife learned the whole thing
from the little book of instructions
which came with the canner, and she
certainly learned the lesson good, be
cause the canned stuff she served on
our table was just about the best F
have ever had the pleasure of eating.
I am now almost as worried as she is
over the report that the dry weather
recently and the cold weather of a
month or so back will give rs only
about half a crop. I had been looking
forward to a bumper crop, and we
all had expected to put away enougn
fioiit and vegetables in cans to last
the whole winter.
"Anyway. the stuff we put up at
home always tastes better than the
canned stuff we buy. and that’s one
reason I’m pretty strong for the
home-made goods."
Working Old Gag
To Get the Coin.
“I had thought." said the business
man. "that the newsboys had aban
doned that old gag of weeping and
telling a hard luck story about mother
being ill Just to get rid of a bundle of
papers on which they had been
stuck,’ but I guess competition is now
so keen they have had to go back to
the ancient dodge.
"The other afternoon I was on my
way home when I saw a little shaver,
who looked to be about 6 or 7 years
old. standing on the comer of Broad
and Alabama Streets sniffling as if
his heart would break. I was going
to ask the kid what the matter was
when a woman Just ahead beat me

MANIA H)R DRESS
Display Gratifies Vanity in Some,
Aesthetic Sense in Others, As
serts London Soeciaiist.
LONDON, May 20.—An a tempt to
analyze scientifically the motives
which cause women to love pretty
clothes was made this week by a dis
tinguished London brain specialist.
Dr. O. T. Ewart, at a meeting of
the Section of Psychiatry’ of the Roy
al Society of Medicine.
Dr. Ewart, who is attached to an
asylum, instanced the case of a pa
tient who suffered from a washing
mania. For 16 years she was ob
sessed with the idea of washing her
self all day.
In attempting to account for her
action, Dr. Ewart pointed out that
of two women who loved to wear
beautifu] clothes one might be actu
ated by the mere desire for self-dis
play. whereas the other received her
impulses from an aesthetic sense, her
love for the beautiful and delicate.
First a Slattern When Alone.
The first. Dr. Ewart argued, could
be distinguished because she was a
slattern when no one was present to
notice her appearance. In addition,
in her case, the unseen part of her
apparel w r ere usually "of an entirely
different order from that seen."
A woman whose love of dress was
due to a fine ae«thetK' sense became,
on the other hand, said the lecturer,
more and more particular about her
clothing and more intimate its rela
tion was to the body.
was the trouble.
" ‘Me mudder’s dyln’,’ replied the
youngster, an’ I ain’t been able ter
sell me papers ter buy her no medi
cine.. De youther kids won’t lenvne
sell eround here an’ I can’t do nottln’.
“The boy’s tears were real and nls
tale evidently touched the woman, for
she fished around in her handbag and
gave him a quarter.
“ Here, my little man.’ she said, ‘run
along and get that medicine, and then
take it. to your mother as quick as
you can.’ Then she leaned over and
kissed the chap.
“That sort of had me going, and I
gave the kid a half-dollar. The wom
an gave me a grateful look and turned
to go her way when we both were as
tonished to see the kid, w’ho a moment
before had been the most dejected
looking person in seven States, give a
w’hoop, throw his bundle of papers to
the winds and with a wild cry of Joy.
In which was mixed a couple of
healthy swear words, start off in th**
direction of two newsboys on the next
corner.
“ ’De two guys fell fer it,’ shouted
the kid. I got 75 cents. Le> beat it
fer somethin’ ter eat.’
“It was the old gag and I had beeu
bitten,”
“The first time I came to Atlanta
they carried me in on a cot,” said the
Rev. J. G. Mason. D.D., who is at
tending the Presbyterian convention,
to a Georgian reporter.
Dr. Mason has for 36 years been
pastor of the Presbyterian Church at
Metuchcn, X. J. He always has been
prominent in public affairs and is now
the nominee of the Prohibition party
for Governor of New Jeersey.
“The Republican party is dead; the
Democrats can be overcome; there
will be a new alignment and the Pro
hibition party will be the best one,”
he said.
Dr. Mason is a native of East Ten
nessee, and during the war he secured
from President Andrew Johnson a
pardon for his father, who had been
indicted for treason along with vir
tually all the other prominent East
Tennessee civilians. Dr. Mason him
self was a United States sanitary
commissioner. having volunteered
w'hile attending Union Seminary, New
York.
Came Here With Sherman.
He came to Atlanta with General
Sherman’s army in 1864. His father,
Archibald Mason, of Jonesboro,
Tenn.. had supported Johnson for the
presidency, and remained his personal
friend, but his sympathies were with
the South.
“When my father was arraigned for
treason, 1 went to see the President
In an exceedingly gruff voice, the
President told me to stand aside for
others more worthy. I pleaded that I
was not there to ask a pardon for my
self, but for one who was more wor
thy.
“ ’And who is it, then?’ asked the
President.
M ‘For my father, Archibald Mason.’
was the reply.
President Pardoned Father.
“ ‘Oh, yes, I know him.’ replied the
President.” The elder Mr. Mason was
immediately pardoned.
“The first time 1 tried to get Into
Atlanta I had to be carried back,”
said Dr. J. G. Mason, continuing the
interview. “The next day Sherman
got in, and they took me in on a cot.
“I was here again 3o years ago, at
tending the International Sunday
School Convention, i was entertained
by Sam Inman, the big cotton man—
you know him—and, my. but 1 did
have a royal time. Atlanta was all
right then, but I can see it is one of
the most hustling places in the world
now. I’m glad to be back and glad o
stay here the rest of the week.’’
