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 he required. THU ATLANTA UFJOKUIAX AINU JNfcWS. Tt'f.MMV, MAY liU, 1913.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.
