Last week dentists who specialize in making twisted teeth align with normal teeth in a patient's mouth met at Manhattan. They constituted the First International Orthodontic Congress. Simultaneously, at Philadelphia, the National Society of Dental Prosthetists was in annual session. Its members are dentists who specialize in making plates, bridges and like artificial dentures. Orthodontists. Six hundred, including nearly all the 450 in the U.S., convened from 15 nations. They heard-that orthodontia lies at the basis of the science of dentistry (Dr. Augustus S.

The couple are overtaken in Trieste and the wife concludes that her sane and comfortable spouse is, perhaps, better after...

Today (which because of the discrepancies of journalism is yesterday) I was walking through the Square hunting a dentist who could save my bodily efficiency to the extent of permeating multifarious interstices with Old Gold (adv.) when I remarked a large crowd in the distance and became part of it immediately. What would draw a crowd on Harvard Square? Your answers must be written legibly and in English, I do not read the papers. Well this time it was a monkey and an Italian...
