Some day we must have fort ideations on the Alaska

Let us suppose that a Great Oriental power took it

HOW A CORPS OF CHICAGO
DOCTORS IS KEHl ILDIMS
SHATTERED FACES OF MEN
Ry WILLIAM SHEPHERD
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
LONDON, June 20.—(By Mail)—
That horror of the soldier, a shatter
ed face, is being abated in the B’itish
army by a set of Chicago surgeons in
their held hospital near the Il'itish
front today. Their success is largely
due to expert dental surgery.
Col. Dr. J. M. Neff of Chicago, head
v
of this unit of 112 surgeons; Col. Dr.
George Davis of Chicago; Major Dr.
Sidney McCallin, formerly of Chicago
but now of London, and Maj. Dr. C ha
rles Mafby, eye and ear surgeon of
Chicago are daily performing opera
tions on wounded men hitherto un
heard of in medical science.
These American surgeons have
proved that Napoleon’s adage that an
army travels on its stomach is old
fashioned. An army travels on its
teeth. Without good molars the best
stomachs go to pieces. Twenty'
months of war demonstrated Ibis.
American medical men established the
fact that caring for the soldier’s t'oth
is the supremely important thing in
earing for his health.
To this American surgery in the
British lines soldiers come suffering
from disordered digestion, sore
throats, influenza, rheumatism, shat
tered nerves. Most of them are men
who have gotton no relief from medi
cine. Usually it is discovered tha; an
injured tooth is the poison center that
is disrupting the man’s physical or
ganization and he is quickly put on
his feet again.
It is in jaw surgery t^at the most

them, we do not care to diagnose the

details. But these Chicago surgeons
have discovered that all these wounds
occur to the lower part of the face. A
wound on the upper part of the head
usually causes death, but wounds of
the jaw do nothing but turn men’s
faces into terrible caricatures.
Bullets play strange tricks with jaw
bones. They enter a cheek, making a
small wound, shatter the jaw bone
and pass out through a tiny wound on
the other side. The shattered bone
changes the structural outward ap
pearance of the face, often with hor
rible effect. In other Wat's the wounds
i were done up and the bones permitted
ted to knit, if they would.
In this war, when part of a jaw has
! been lost, several surgeons carry the
patient into the amphitheater. A
piece of his shin bone is removed by
I the bone surgeons. The dental sur
geon takes this piece, which has been
cut to shape the size desired, ana puts

NEW FORCE OF “POLICE
MOTHERS” GUARDS GIRLS
WHO GO ALONE TO CONEY
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
NEW YORK, July 18.—There ap
peared upon the beach at Coney Island
today the new force of "Police Moth
ers," a volunteer organization of
women possessing police authority,
whose members patrol the sands to
keep harm from the thousands of
girls who come alone to the big resort.
The force is commanded by Mrs.
Ellen Craig of the department of
parks of the Borough of Brooklyn.
While the Police Mothers cooperate
with the regular police, their work is
more personal and calculated fd* pre
vent trouble for the girls rather than
to stop it after it has gotten started.
The patrolled district is the entire
beach, from Sea Gate to Brighton.
The Police Mothers serve without
pay.
