FREE DISPENSARY WILL BE OPENED lnatituzion for Treatment of Children's Teeth Backed by Prominent Omahans, DENTISTS DONATE SERVICE During the first week of the new year the Omaha Free Dental Dispen- sary for Children will be added to the city’s public institutions. The man- agement of the Brandeis stores has donated commodious quarters on the seventh floor of the Brandeis building for an indefinite period. These public- spirited men appreciate that onc of the problems of thejday in the cities is the care of children’s teeth and they realize that defective tecth corrected in youth makes for better citizens, and better citizens make a better com- munity, and a better community 1s what these men want to help build. The incorporators of the Omaha Frec Dental Dispensary for Children will be: Ison, Dr. F. F. Whitcomb, Dr. W. A. Cox, Dr. Blaine Truesdell, Dr. M. H. Dunham, Dr. P. 5 Shearer, Dr. J. J. Quinlan, Rome Miller, Dr. F. J. Despecher and Dr. A. O. Hunt. Societies Take Up Project. This project had its mception at a joint meeting of the Odontological and Tri-City societies last April, when a committee was appointed to start a frec dental dispensary in Omaha. The committee succeeded in enlisting eighty-four dentists, who have agreed to give one-half day cach a month to the dispensary work. 9 The, Board of Education will co- operate through its staff of examining nurses, of which Charlotte Townsend is the head. Miss Townsend has been appointed chairman of the investigat- ing committee of the frec dispensary work., The school nurses will advice parents of all defects observed in the teeth of their children and the dis- pensary will be offered without charge to those who wish to avail themselves of this opportunity. No charge will be made for dental service or materials. Parochial and public schools will be given the same consideration. Under Municipal Patronage. In some cities free dental dispen- saries are maintained under municipal patronage, while in other cities pri- vate citizens have endowed such in- stitutions, as in the case of the East- man dispensary at Rochester, N. Y. Dental examinations of children are now being made in 240 cities of this country and educators are outspoken in stating that many instances of backwardness have been traced to de- fective tecth. Marked improvement has been noted in children who have been relieved of defects in their teeth. Many infectious diseases have been traced to defective teeth, which in- fected tonsils and other parts of the body. The men who are backing the Oma- ha Free Dental Dispensary for Chil- dren have for their ultimate aim the establishment of a permanent insti- tution to be used as a free dental dis- pensary. In the meanwhile the spacc donated by the Brandcis stores will be used. Need Is Known. A free dental dispensaty for chil- dren was started last January in‘ the Creighton Dental college on Eight- centh street. For several months school nurses accompanied gfoups of children to this college, where den- tists volunteered their services. Much good was done, but the work was nec- essarily limited. The experiences of nurses and dentists at that time showed conclusively the need of a frec dental dispensary in Omaha. The start has been made and the institution will be opened during the first week of the new year. Omaha children will be given clean and sound teeth. New Union Pacific Bridge Open Soon Work on the Union Pacific's new bridge over the river here has prog- ressed so rapidly that it is asserted that not later than December 15 the tracks from the old bridge will be cut over, after which the spans of the new bridge will be used. In getting the new bridge ready for unobstructed use, the approaches will have to be built and this is going to take some time. They will be much wider than those to the old structure and will be of a permanent character. However, by cutting over the tracks onto the spans, the new bridge will be used ecven while work on the ap- proaches is being carried on. New Wyoming Town Has Real Mushroom Growth General Manager Walters of the Northwestern has gone to Wyoming to investigate the rich oil strike that is reported to have been made at Glenrock, on the company line a short distance from Douglas. Report comes to the Northwestern headquarters that the oil strike at Glenrock is causing a stampede from the other oil fields of Wyoming and that a town has sprung up in the night, so to speak. Ten days ago there were not to exceed a dozen buildings and fifty to sixty people there. Now it is said that the town has a population of 700 or 800 people and that more than seventy-five build- ings are in course of construction. At this town people are scattered over the townsite, living in tents and board shacks hastily erected. Wymann’s Clever Fingers Get Him Into Trouble Carl Wymann of Dunlap, Ila, charged with passing worthless checks to the value of $100 on local saloonkeepers, was arraigned in po- lice court and sccured a continuance of hearing until Monday. A saloon- keeper near headquarters is holding more than $50 worth of the bad paper. Must Teach Chimneys How to Smoke Lawfully Six proprietors of downtown estab- lishments were arranged before Judge Foster, charged with violating the smoke ordinance of the city. They agreed to comply with the regulations of the smoke inspector on assurance that the city and county buildings would do likewise. Allies Able to Liberate Terri- tory, But Cannot Avert People’s Slavery.

Bids were called for to be opened December 9 at 2 o'clock p. m. All bids must be filed on or before noon of that day. The work is to be begun within ninety days of award of contract and to be fully completed in one year. The engincer’s cstimate of the cost of the work is approximately $50,000. It will straighten the tortuous chan- nel of Mosquito creek, prevéent over- flows and make available for tilling large areas of the richest farm land in the world. With the exception of the Milwaukee railroad all of ‘the claims for damage have been pretty well cleared up. The railroad has ap- pealed to the district court and asks about $21,000 more than was awarded by the commissioners. The completion of the ditch. will compel similar work on the remain- der of the channcl to its outlet into the Missouri river southeast of the city. This will add at least $100,- 000 more to the cost, making it the most extensive and expensive drain- age ditch enterprise yet undertaken in the county. Fine Ar?s—SOGiety Has Borglum Bronze _One massive bronze, “The Gentle Closing of Two_Lives,” by Solon Borglum, stands in the lobby of the Hotel Fontenelle instead of in the| ball room, where it belongs with the rest of its sister_and brother bronzes included in the Fine Arts society ex- hibit which opens tonight. Not be- cause the exhibition committee wants it therc, however, but because the size and shape of a Borglum bronze was not considered when the Fonte- nelle freight elevators were in the making. It seemed as though the celebrated sculpture would have to be left out in the cold when it was discovered that the freight eclevator could not accommodate its 800 pounds. Where- upon a gracious hotel management consented to have one of the revolv- ing front doors removed so the statue could be brought into the hotel lobby. There it will remain during the ten days of the exhibit. Harney Corner Site . Brings Much Money | Mrs. Harriet A. Jensen, widow of the late Dr. H. P. Jensen, has sold the property at the northwest corner of Twenty-eighth and Harney streets to the Thomas Realty company. The price paid was $22,000 cash. Dr. Jen- son bought the property in 1890 for a small exchange consideration. The sale was made by C. A. Grimmel. The property is 132 feet square. Mother Asks Police to Find Her Two Lost Sons Mrs. F. M. Jones of Casper, Wya., has asked the Omaha police to try and locate her two sons, Edward, 21, | and William, 17, who came to Omaha during the last week. Mrs. Jones has been iu the city for several da “Further, the Germans justify their | action on the ground that the unem | ployment they themselves created had | become so bad as to overstrain the resources of the poor relief. This is the most impudent thing cven Ger many has said since the war began. | You might think that the poor relief referred to came from Germany or from Belgium. As a matter of fact, it comes from the allies through the relief commission. This country alone in the last eighteen months has ad- | vanced some $30,000,000 for food and poor relief. This money goes from us freely and without conditions, ex- | cept that it shall be under neutral control. i "It is kind of the Germans to be so anxious not to overstrain our re- sources, but it is fair to ask what right the Germans have to make the charity of the world an excusc for enslaving those who receive it. The Belgians are going to Germany on no ordinary | work. They are to be caught up and | crushed in the great new German ma- chine for mobilizing labor. To Be Scattered Everywhere. “They will be scattered to all the towns in the remote corners of Ger- many, from Silesia to Westphalia, and, once caught upon the machine, they will never return to Belgium. It is + this grinding up of a nation piccemeal that is the most hprrible feature of the situation. “Lastly, it must be remembered that the allies can and will liberate Bel- gian territory. Meanwhile, they can and will bear the burden of keeping the Belgians from starvation. But they cannot protect the Belgians from slavery; they cannot insure that when Belgium is liberated it will be a na- tion and not a desert. Tt is only the neutrals who can do this by the exer- cise of their public opinion.” Lord Robert concluded with an ex- pression of hope that the pressure of American public opinion would bring about this result.
