The goal may be reach- ed and surpassed if the people of the Uni- ted States give some serious thought to Readers of The Citizen are aware of the annual death toll of 36,000 lives, the injury of more than a million persons, and the unaccountable monetary loss through motor vehicle accidents. It’s hard for the average person to realize the enormity of the social .ffense. Only when death and destruct’ 1 happens in our midst do we ap- preheud the reality of the deadly threat. This article is not designed to discuss methods reducing accidents.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS It is a strange human trait that in later life a man often boasts of the very things of which he was somewhat ashamed in his youth. Successful men point with pride to their humble origin, to their early struggles and menial nature of their first employment. And it is a just cause for pride to have overcome such obstacles through one’s own energy and determination. There is no doubt that the man who has had to fight his way from the bottom is generally better off, hard as it may have seemed to him while undergoing the experience. It is equally true that many men fail because of a false pride which causes them to shrink from, humble tasks which might lead to ultimate success. | Henry Ford was a machinist’s helper, Thomas A. Edison was a newsboy, John D. Rockefeller was a clerk, and neither had any early education to speak of. They and thousands of others tteceeded because they were not ashamed te toil with their hands until something better presented itself. Not every boy can become a Ford, an Edison, or a Rockefeller, but everyone who is not afraid or ashamed to work can make an honorable and useful place for himself, and !e doesn’t have to begin in a “white- collar’ job, either. NEW PAIN PREVENTIVE Wat is declared to be a pain dead- ener which will really make painless den- tistry an accomplished fact has been an- nounced by Columbia University as a dis- covery by Dr. Leroy L. Hartman of that institution’s dental school. The new desensitizer, perfected by Dr. Hartman after 20 years of research and experimentation, is described as a so- lution which when applied to the surface of a tooth not only prevents pain but of- fers possibilities of saving teeth which otherwise have to be extracted. It becomes effective in less than two minutes after application and remains ef- fective from 20 minutes to an hour. The new solution's action is said to: be. made possible by a previously unknown sub- stance in the dentin of the tooth. The new discovery is té be patened and the rights assigned to Columbia Uni- versity, which will control its price and quality, so as to make it available to the public and prevent commercial exploita- tion. Dr. Hartman says the new desensitizer causes no after-effects, as do certain other drugs, and that its method of use is so sim; } ple that the patient need not be aware of | its application. If the new discovery does. what is claimed for it, the dentist’s admonition to “open wider, please; this isn’t going to| j burt” may in time be accepted with as. | surance by the patient in his chair. ) last night last 24 hours! | Abilene . 30 44 ee Atlanta e; 40 A portion of the funds to be; Boston 32 derived from the sale of the pro-| Buffalo s 8 posed bond issue of $225,000 by | Charleston 44 the city council, will be used to, Chicago 0 pave about thirteen miles of} Denver 82; streets, it was stated at a meeting) Detroit iG, of council last night.
