' School dentistry appears to have
reached its highest development in
Sweden, where the teeth of all pupils
are "under constant supervision. The
dental surgeries, of which there are
about 30, are open each day, and at
these special institutions the sctiool
children are served for small fees—
the plan of moderate charges having
been found more satisfactory than free
services. In Germany, with twelve
times as. many Inhabitants, the com
plete ^ntal surgeries for children are
said to number about 100.
The Idea that hailstorms can be pre
vented or controlled still persists In
France and Italy, In spite of the fail
ures of the past. Experiments with
electrified masts 100 feet high have
been made by Mi de Beauchamp, and
he seems to have satisfied himself
that an area of two miles In all direc
tions waa effectively protected from
hall. He is convinced that trials on
the much taller Eiffel Tower will give
security to plant growers over a much
larger territory in Paris and Its en
virons.

The Alexandria General Produce
Association, In Its report on the condi
tion of the coming cotton crop during
September, states that in Lower
Egypt the temperature was somewhat
variable, but there was an improve
ment toward the end of the month.
Some fogs have been reported; boll-
worms also made their appearance in
some districts. These caused some
slight damage, but It Is as yet impos
sible to estimate'to what extent. The
first pickings have begun in some dis
tricts, but will only be general during
the first fortnight of October, which Is
some 15 to 20 days late. Although it
Is impossible as yet to estimate close
ly the result of the first picking, it will
be inferior to that of last year. It Is
hoped that the result of the second
picking will be satisfactory, Which is
promising if the temperature continues
as at present for some, weeks more.
The third picking, owing to Its lateness
it is impossible to estimate. On ac
count of the small quantity of cotton
picked to date It Is not possible to give
any reliable report on thei ginning
yield. ™ j
The temperature in Upper Egypt and
Fayoum has not been favorable. Cool
nights and heavy dews are reported.
The bollworm has appeared in some
districts. The first picking, which Is
now general, is giving good results,
but will be somewhat less than that of
last year. The ginning yield is some
what superior to that of last year.
The result of the second pickings
promises to be satisfactory should the
present temperature continue.

derwrlters’ Association opened its
semi-annual meeting In this city yes
terday with sixty companies represent

Late News From
State Capital
Special to The ^News.
Raleigh, Nov. 16.—It is learned that
Mr. Tufts, of Southern Pines, who
is undertaking to assure the early
completion of the North Carolina
Fection of Central highway south of
Raleigh to the South Carolina line
toward Atlanta, has been unable to
induce Lee and Chatham counties
to take up 'the work of inaklng the
roads through these counties. So he
has changed the road so as to tra
verse Hoke county which has read
ily agreed to expend as much as
$300 per mile in buildings a link
of the route through that county. It
is expected that ere long Lee and
Chatham will realize their mistake
and build the link that was desired
of them and then there will be two
loules in that section that can be
used optionally by the tourists.
The free dlspensory treatment of
hookwortn treatment has just been
established In Harnet county by Sec
retary John A. Ferrall, of the hook
worm commission. He Is also pushing
this work in Brunswick, Pitt and
Hertford counties and has completed
this line of treatment in ten other
counties. Also there are fourteen
other counties that have made the
required appropriations for this work
and will be “invaded” just as soon as
they can be reached. A fine spirit
of co-operation has developed in
every section of the state.
Chairman Franklin McNeill, of the
corporation commission, just back
from Washington and the hearing
bofoie the new commerce court in the
Norfolk & Western freight case, says
there is every indication of a speedy
ruling that will end this litigation.
And alsb that the indications are
that the reduced freight rates involv
ed to Winston-Salem and Durham
from Cincinnati and the West will
be sustained. It Is a notable fact
that these rates having been on
since last June the showing before
the commerbe court was that the
Norfolk & Western freight business
to Winston-Salem and Durham has
Increased from 44,000,000 pounds to
65,000,000 pounds for the year. And
this Is being used as a plea that the
lower rates are attracting business
from the Southern and Seaboard
Air Line, the railroads making this
plea for the restoration of the form
er higher rates.
At noon today the North Carolina
Society Sons of the Revolution held
a public meeting for the presenta
tion to the state of a splendid por
trait of Revolutionary Governor Ben

of the University of North Carolina,
who is a member of the society and
the acceptance on the part of the

and career of Governor Smith and
Governor Kitchin paid high tribute
to the patriotic public spirit of the
Society Sons of the Revolution in
their annual practice of presenting
to the state, the painting of some
one of the early governors of North
Carolina. Secretary of State J. Bryan
Grimes, who is vice-president of the
society, presided on account of the
illness of Col. Thomas S. Kenan, who
is the president of the society. Rev.
Robert Brent Drane, of Edenton,
chaplain of the society, offered the
invocation and the benediction for
the inspiring ceremonies.
The Raleigh chamber of commerce,
H. E. Litchford, president, determin
edly launched last night a movement
to carry through an undertaking to
take over the old academy of music
property here and remodel the pres
ent building for commercial purposes
and provide a splendid first fioor
academy of music in the rear that
will seat 1,200 people and be thor
oughly modern and complete In its

URGE KEEPING SOUTHERN
INSURANCE AT HOME.
♦ ^
♦ Friday Night 8:30—"Allas Jim- ^
♦ my Valentine.” ^
♦
EVERYBODY’S FRIEND.
Atlanta, Nov. 16.—State insurance
commissioners throughout the south,
notable Commissioner F. H. McMaster
of South Carolina, and Commissioner
F. N. Julian, of Alabama, are quoted
by Iccal leaders in the Insurance field
as strongly urging, in their official ca
pacity, that southern insurance money
be kept at home.
The growth and solidity of southern
companies, says Mr. McMaster, make
it no longer a necessity even for con
servative southerners to take out their
policies with the northern companies
and by keeping the money at home, the
south is made more independent of
northern bankers, particularly at times
during the movement of cotton, when
it has been often necessary to borrow
hundrdes of thousands from the north.
The time has passed when southern
ers hesitated to put their money in
southern companies. Taking Georgia
as an example, the state records show
that the state can boast one of the
strongest legal reserve companies in
the country, the State Mutual Life In
surance Co., of which C. R. Porter Is
president. It has assets of nearly
three and a half million dollars, and
was the first legal reserve company
ever organized In Georgia. According
to records on file with the insurance
department at the capitol the State
Mutual has made a better showing
than any other company In its class
both in dividends paid to policeholders
and In growth of assets.'
