Contracts Let for Three
Government Shipyards
Washington, Sept. 1. Contracts
for construction of three government
owned ship yartl for building fabri

awarded tonight by the Shipping
hoard's emergency fleet corporation.
They went to the Submarine Boat
corporation for a plant at Newark,
X. J.; the American International
corporation for one at HogIsland,
Pa., and the Merchants' Ship Build
ing company for one at Chester, I'a.
The yards will cost $35,000,000 and
the government is giveu'an option to
purchase the lands on which they arc
located. The builders of the yards
are givea contracts for building in
them 200 ships. The prospects are
that contracts for many more vessels
will be let when these are completed
and more money is available.
J he .Submarine corporation will lay
ways for building twenty-eight ships
simultaneously and will have facili
ties and equipment to turn out one
5,000-ton ship every two days after
the first vessel is completed.

Sheriff W. E. Simpson said today
there had not been a drunken man on

An investigation is in progress rela

Mayor Nordhau said such methods
will not be tolerated.
Greensboro, X. C, Sept., 1. Fed
eral Judge Boyd of the western dis
trict of North Carolina today held
the Keating-Ow en child labor law un
constitutional and enjoined the
United States district attorney, Wil
liam C. Hammer and his "successors,
assistants, deputies and agents" from
enforcing in the district the provi
sions of the act of congress which
tommies effective tomorrow.
The derision of Judge Boyd came
at the conclusion of tlvfee days of
argument on the constitutionality of
lit e act. The case came before the
court on injunction proceedings
i brought in the name of Roland 11.
Dagenhart and- his minor sons,
Reuben and John, of Charlotte, who
sought to restrain a Charlotte cotton
mill company from discharging the
two boys.
In announcing his decision Judge
Boyd said he was gratified by the
candor of Professor Thomas I.
Parkinson of Columbia university,
representing the Department of Jus
tice, who asserted that congress had
used its powers over interstate com
merce for the object of regulation of
local conditions within the state and
the discouragement of child labor.
This adnu'ssion, said the judge, left
the issue clear and brought forward
the question: "Can congress do by
indirection t hat which it undoubtedly
cannot do directly?"
"Congress," he said, "can regulate
trade among the states, but not the
internal conditions of labor." Judge
Boyd expressed his approval of laws
tending to elevate the condition and
moral state ' of all the people and
made it clear that his judgment on
the act was based upon his interpreta
tion of the constitutional limitations
of congressional power.

PAINLESS
WITHERS
DENTIST
I doubt if there is a
name associated with
Dentistry so cordial
ly liked and so bit
terly hated.
I am a son of Nebraska.
I was raised but a short dis
tance from where my pres
ent offices are located.
To many people, this will
come as a surprise but to
those who knew my father
(and all who did know him
loved and honored him) will recall the fact that I left
Omaha some years ago fresh from Dental College
possessed of ideals and an ambition to make the name
WITHERS known and respected in dentistry.
il knew from my early associations with the old-time
dentists and from the practices then in vogue in dental
colleges that Dentistry was far from an exact science
and that there was entirely too much pain inflicted in
dental operations of all kinds.
I determined, if possible, to perfect an anesthetic
that possessed the three essentials necessary to practical
success, viz: .
freedom from danger,
-certainty of action. '
inexpensive to use.
There were jnany anesthetics in general use some
possessing "certainty of action" which could not be used
because of the danger following their use.
I found some free from danger, but very uncertain,
and, unsatisfactory in results.
I fojind one reasonably safe, reasonably satisfactory,
but entirely too expensive for general use and by con
tinual Experimenting Xand a measure of good fortune) I
finally perfected a local anesthetic pbssessing ALL the
requisites I desired.'
With' my new, but as yet not thoroughly proven dis
covery, I went west opened a dental office and adver
tised my ability toextract teeth without pain.
My success was almost instantaneous and the, news
spread that at last dentistry had been robbed of its
terrors, and the name, "Painless Withers," which a grate
ful patient bestowed on me in the exuberance of his
gratitude, became a part of my official professional life
and I incorporated "THE PAINLESS WITHERS' DEN
TAL COMPANY," now one of the largest dental offices
in the west. 1
There never was a successful man who did not gain
a few enemies while making many friends and I am no
exception.
I had . enemies there and I expect them here
envy and jealousy are the samef everywhere.
People who have put up with mediocre dentistry,
paid unreasonable prices, and suffered needless pain at
the hands of incompetent dentists, are having their eyes
opened, and as my reception rooms fill up, otlierrecep
tion rooms are empty.
(In my next article I shall tell you WHY I CAME
BACK TO OMAHA.)

H
udson Prices Stand
5 1 Cars Advance
1 The materials for this year's production of the Hudson
Super-Six were bought last year when most items cost less
than half the present prices.
Other makers were not so fortu
nate. They have exhausted their
supply of materials bought in the
lower material market. Since Jan
uary 1st 51 makers have advanced
their prices. Some have made two
advances. Advances have ranged
from $100 to $700. On cars that
formerly sold at $1200 to $1400,
the increase has been $200 to $300.
That has made them cost njow as
much, as a Hudson Super-Six.
There are almost 40,000 owners
of Hudson Super-Sixes. Now that
cars which sold from $1200 to
$1400 cost as much as a Hudson
Super-Six, preference for it is
greater than ever.' When materials
bought last year are exhausted,
then the Super-Six must cost more.
Judged by the advances made on
former cheaper v cars, the Super
Six should cost above $2000. Sec
the advantage of buying one now
at $1650. - '
