"Last year there were 9A2 permit. issued for public dances; up to d:i ttv.s yenr 1,400 permits, have been is .''rd," Mr. Adams announced. Mr. .Vdanis predicts there vill be more than .2,000 permits issued for dunces by the close of 1 90. Tlnu if great jieed of more dance inspec lrs, but a lack of funds will not per mit more than two, Mr. Adams cic-' .:'ared. "As a gcnor;,l tiling, our two in jectors report dances are well regulated." said Mr. Adams. 'Ther is one case, however, where the pro prietor of a p.'blic hall will bo brought on the carpet. It is possible l'conse will he rescinded. ' "Our inspectors m.ikc the various dances each night :uul it thy see viything wrong they tirst take it up -ith the hall management. If the toornieu haven't the nerve to stop suggestive danciriK. our men step out .iiid put an end to it. "A majority ot the Uanrc permits aie issued to 'dancing clubs' which give 'pay' deuces. don't know vhcther the great increase m ptr t.ijt.i indicates the number ('f dajices ui private homes is diminishing or whether it simply indicates therv are n-ore f"0!e tailing for the lure of the terpsichorean art." 1'or the first time Mr. Adaris explained (lie 'need of a rule which states: ''No return check.-, will Le. given, any patrons. If ihey leave the dance hall they must pay reg ular admission fee to return." 1 "It had frequently developed that men and sometimes girls left the hall t'i secure intoxicants." .said Mr. Adams. "The rule is very effective in stopping that 'sort cf thin" New dances of the year have no more te'ndencv to be suggestive than those of last year, according to Mr. Adams, rormer Clerk Falls Heir to $50,000,000 First Violator Nabbed By Citizen Convicted The first autoisjt arrested by Dean Singer's new company of "citizen caps,4 sworn in Wednesday for an i ggressive war on traffic violators, was fined $1 and -costs, a total of i'3.50, in Central police court Thurs day morning.

Vou perhaps have read in tne papers what the big doctors are saying about bad teeth how they are the cluse of all sorts of djsfcases. One of the first things a good doctor does nowadays is to advise his patients to ;?o to an experienced dentist to have their .ecth examined. It is not recognized that diseases of the heart, brain, lungs, blood, kidneys, stomach and bladder are caused by diseased and infected tootn roots. At these roots poison ous pus is formed, and the blood carries it, to all parts of ,the bpdyp Rheumatism, neuralgia, indigestion, dyspepsia and evenN cancer, epilepsy and insanity h'ave been traced to infected teeth.

"Red" Dwver, "prince of the beggars, is dead. 1 he most famous of American panhan dlers died here recently after drink i.ig spirits of niter as a substitute for whisky. "Red," the only name by which he v a.i known, was a familiar character in police circles of three continents, and is said to be the only "bo" who e ver panhandled the Flatison build ing in New York. He was repre sented to be head of the panhandling an in North America, South Amer ica and Kttrope. When he died, "Red" was penni less.

A -still the high school Prices Is Being For a long time, remarks the New York Times, "high prides seemed like the weather, about which, as Mark Twain said, everybody, talked but nothing was done." Then the buy ing public, reacting at last from the wave of extravagance that swept the country in war -time, began a few months ago to rebel against the ever diminishing purchasing power of the dollar. The.result of this action is seen in the dramatic price cuttings in the wholesale market last month, which affected wheat, corn, oat,s, wool, cotton, automobiles, textiles, clothing, food-stuffs, metal, leather, and many other commodities. The wholesale prices of these commodities have declined on the average about 20 below the high prices of Feb ruary, according to R. H Edmundson of the New York Nevs Record, a commercial daily, who predicts that these 'cuts are "certain to be reflected in a reduced cost of living removing the usual excuses for striking to get higher wTages." Dispatches from various cities report " that the procession of falling prices in the retail trade has already begun.
