The Panama-Pacific Dental Congress has passed into history, and in accordance with the opinion very generally expressed by those in attendance, the meeting was a decided success.

The Pacific Dental Congress Commission of 1915, the Corporation now in charge of all matters relating to the Congress, and the publication of the transactions, desires to announce that a copy of the complete transactions, when published, and a copy of the official souvenir program, will be sent to any one making application therefor to the Sec

retary of the Commission, Dr. Arthur M. Flood, 240 Stockton Street, San Francisco, California, and forwarding the fee of ten dollars.

Those subscribing for these extra copies of the transactions cannot be regarded as being members of the Congress, not having applied for membership before the meeting, or being in attendance at the same, but we believe these transactions will be a very valuable addition to the history of dentistry, and the souvenir program, containing as it does many items of historical interest and value, will be acceptable to any member of the profession.

NATIONAL MOUTH HYGIENE ASSOCIATION, DEPARTMENT OF EXTENSION LECTURES, ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Lecture Rental Service inaugurated by this department in May, 1914, has placed our first lecture, designated as Lecture "A", "The Care and Use of the Human Mouth", before about half a million people, easily establishing itself as an educational factor of no small importance in connection with the present mouth hygiene campaign.

As less than fifty per cent of the expense of maintaining the service to date has been met by rental fees and receipts from the sale of outfits and there seems to be no reason why the department should not be self-supporting, both rental and sale rates will be advanced Novem-. ber 1st as follows:

Rental charge for use of Manuscript and 36 oblides, one date, $2.50. (Former rate, $1.)

Additional charge for day following. $1.00. (Former rate, 50c.)

Retention for third and each subsequent day, 50c. (Former rate 25c.)

Purchase price advanced from $19.85

to $25, giving purchaser full rights for personal use; giving societies rights for use by their members only.

This advance in rates will enable the department to extend the work in many needed directions and make possible the preparation of other lectures which seem to be needed for special types of audiences.

Application blanks will be furnished by the undersigned to whom all communications relative to the service should be addressed.

EDWIN N. KENT, D. M. D., Director of Extension Lectures, 330 Dartmouth Street, Boston, Mass.

CASSIUS CARR GOES FREE.

Cassius M. Carr, who was convicted in April before Judge Prindiville for practicing dentistry without a license, was discharged on another accusation of the same character by Judge Mahoney yesterday. The case was brought at the instance of the Dental society, by Dr. George N. West, chairman of its committee on laws.

Carr is said to have been conducting a "school of instruction for the cure of pyorrhea." It was contended by the prosecution that he has no license to practice dentistry in Illinois. Judge Mahoney released him with the remark that "there is no evidence that he was practicing."

John J. Kitteringham, 531 East Thirty-first street, was also a defendant, and, like Carr, was acquitted.

The former conviction of Carr is now in an upper court on an appeal.-The Chicago Daily Tribune, June 19, 1915.

The final outcome of this case will be watched by the entire profession. That no injustice may be done to any one, The Journal will refrain from making and further comments until the matter has been definitely decided by the courtsEditor.
