BENSON QUITS AS ACHIEVENENT HEAD ‘Dl'rhcwr of Work Gives Up. Posi tion and Salary of $12,000 A bombshell was exploded in the ranks of Junior Achievement leaders In the city of New Britain today when . it, was learned that Oscar H. Benson, director of the Junior Achievement bureau of the Eastern States ILeague ,at a salary of $12,000 per year, had . submitted his resignation and sev- ered hig connection with the bureau. Mr. Benson is the man who has been in personal contact with the lo- cal workers practically ever since the work started here two years ago, His | regignation is the fifth ‘within six weeks, due td friction in the staff which is said to have existed for a year or more, The climax of the affair occurred two weeks ago when Carl R. Dietrich, formerly of the Philadelphia “‘Inquir- er” and for the past several years di- rector of the League's publicity bu- reau, suddenly resigned, Directors of the bureau then admitted that Mr. Dietrich's resignation was the fourth . in six weeks, Mr. Dietrich, Frank 0. Kreagor, who is well known in this city, and -Théodore T. Martin, diretcor of the Junior . Achievement foundation in Springfield, declared that the friction was due to Mr. Benson's inability to haromnize with his workers, Mr. Kreagor, who has threatened to re- sign, is the only one of the three sti! on the staff. He was Mr. Benson's assistant. . Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, also well known among the New Britain leaders, who was the bureau's organ- ization specialist, has threatened te resign and at this time it {s not known Wwhether she will continue or not. Mr. Kreagor, Mrs. Jones and Mr. Martin will stay through the exposition dur- ing the week of September 16, but Mr. Benson already has severed all connections with the organization. Sympathy in New Britain un: doubtedly will be with Mr, Benson in the controversy, since the local or- ganization some time ago demanded that he take personal charge of the work here rather than deputize Mr. Kreagor, who was not popular in New Britain. Mr. Benson's work with boys and girls earned for him a national repu- tation. . Prior to 1919 he had charge of the organizing of boys' and girls' clubg in the south under the direction of the federal department of agricul- ture, At that time he had developed his famous “One perfod cold pack,” meh- od of canning farm products through- out the sout. He was brought to the attention of the late Theodore N, Vall, president of the American Telegraph and Telephone Co., and founder of the Fastern States League, and to Horace A, Moses, now prealdent of the league. Messrs. Vall and Moses went to Washington and argued that Mr. Ben- son's work with the government was well enough ‘organized to be left in the hands of others and asked him to go with them to 8pringfield to in- augurate a program of self help edu- catlon ‘adapted to the needs of ten million children in the North Atlantic states, According to . a writer in the "World's Work,"” of March, 1921, Mr. Benson accepted upon condition that provision - be made for a minimum program of not less than five years' duration. He asked ‘for $50,000 to spend on the work the first . year, $100,000the second year and each of the three succeeding years, and at the end of ‘the five years a $2,000,000 en. dowment fund to carry on the work In addition to this was a detailed program of self help education and salvaging the out of school hours by children. Tt is in line with his pro- gram that the New Britain United Community corporation last year vot- €d’$3.400 to carry on the work here, It is not known at this time wheth- ersMr. Benson's resignation will af. fect the local organization.

How a chemist saved his own father from Pyorrhoea A retired manufacturer was suf- fering terribly from diseased gums—Pyorrhoea was gaining steadily ih spite of all the minis- trations of a highly skilled doctor of dentistry. The case seemed hopeless. It was then that the manufacturer’s son—a chemist— started a scientific investigatian of antiseptics. After intensive ] experimentation to discover the most powerful combination of antiseptic and healing virtues, he developed a solution which he asked his father to try. Resuit! The sufferer’s improve- ment amazed the dentist. He directed his patient to continue using the solution and, with a few dental treatments, succeeded in effecting a complete cure. The doctor then begged the chemist to manufacture the solution now known as Pyrodento, and urged the druggists of his city to handle it as a boon to the public. Pyrodenta is a delightful, cleans- ing tooth paste, and has worked wonders in cases of Pyorrhoea. ‘You too can now get this scien- tific preparation at your own druggist’s.

Y., Aug. 16.—Stories of enormous profits were told and names of prominent men were brought be- fore the federal grand jury investigat- ing vice, drug and liquor conditions in Buffalo yesterday by the - signed confession of Charles H.

Engraving plates were taken to the federal building, presumably for identification as part of the evidence seized when he was arrested, The uncovering of the plant and the operations of the ring is said to have occupied a force of department of justice agents four monthe. HARDING STROVE | 0 REDUCE HOURS Ambition of His Lile Was to Give More Time For Enjoyment Hubbard, O, Aug. 16.—A reduc- tion in the hours of toil to provide opportunity for recreation and im- provement was one of the vital ambi- tions of President Harding's life, as- sistant Attorney Gen. Seymour de- clared here today in an address at “It is not enough in honoring the memory of President Harding,” said Mr. Seymour, "to realize that during the past 30 months he was moving us continuously toward the enjoyment of a lasting peace among the contend- ing forces in the industrial life of his own country as well as among the potential belligerents of all the peo- ples of the earth. His aim has al- ways been to enable us all to enjoy the bountiful products of our natural resources and the fruits of successful industry.” Mr Seymour said President Hard- ing's appeal for three shifts instead of two in the steel workers' day was another great step in the translating of spirit into action in American in- dustrial relations.
