U. S. Dentist Help
Plan Int. Congress
BERLIN, Aug. 13. (/P)—Three Am
erican dentists recently held a series
of conferences in Berlin as part of
a European tour for the purpose of
studying the stomatological move
ment in Europe and organizing an
international congress to be held in
Paris in 1927.
The group, headed by Prof. Al
fred I. Asgis of New York, represent
ed the American Stomatological com
mittee in Europe. Other members
were Dr. Elmer E. Chambers of War
ren, Ohio, and Dr. Frederick I. Fish
er of Trenton, N. J.
One feature of the visit was the
examination of the teeth of the lar
gest elephant in the Berlin zoo. This
beast, formerly one of the most trac
table in the menagerie, had proven so
vicious during recent weeks that the
Zoo authorities were contemplating
shooting it. However, the animal’s
life may be spared, for the Ameri
can specialists agreed, with the
German dentists that a dental oper
ation would restore the elephant to
norami behavior. It was decided to
perform the operation in the near
future.

Bear Struck By Car
Revives and Battles
YAKIMA, Wn., Aug. 13. (/p)—Big
game hunting by automobile is not
so good, L. D. Gaines, driver of an
oil truck, is convinced, after an en
counter he had with a black bear,
while on the Rinirock road, in the
Cascade Mountains, east of here, re
cently.
When first seen, the animal was
loping along the highway ahead of
him, Gaines related. Speeding up
his machine, he forced the creature .
toward the rocks at one edge of the
road. Suddenly turning, the bear
sprang onto the hood of the truck,
but skidded off, fell under the wheels
and lay still.
To take home proof of his prow
ess, Gaines returned and grasped
the bear by an ear. The truck mas
sage however, had not killed, only
dazed him, and the animal sprang
up with an angry “Woof!”
At this point Gaines decided to
allow the bear his life and liberty,
and sped back to his machine with
out dignity and only a part of his
trousers. The bear disappeared up
a canyon.
