'Painless Dentistry' May Be Here Soon, Scientists Say
New York—(U.P.)“Painless” dentistry may be on the wa-
cording to the dental scientists.
Four big strides to make the dentist's chair, already have been taken. They are as follows:
1. The use of small doses of pen-tothal sodium by injection into a vein in combination with nitrous-oxide-oxygen for general anesthetics in dental procedures.
2. The use of the sedative, demerol, with novocain to control apprehension and pain.
3. The development of a device that delivers a fine spray of water to the cutting point of a dental instrument to reduce frictional heat in cavity preparations.
4. The development of fast, clean-cutting frictionless instruments of hard carbide tungsten steel and diamonds to cut down the discomfort in cavity preparation . do:
A fifteen best jet a fellow-ainless dentistry mask is if you hiten. It is the development on new instrument, a dental handpiece, based on the air-abrasive, that cuts through tooth structure by means of a high speed jet of air, carrying a fine abrasive.
A group of dental experts at a recent panel discussion at the University of Illinois described the general subject of teeth as an important one in many ways. It was
pointed out that disease of the teeth can cause pain in other parts of the body, and that disease in other parts of the body can cause tooth pain.
The scientists recalled that the diseased tooth may be the cause of severe facial neuralgias, of disease of the sinus, of enlargements of the neck glands.
It was pointed out that while the dentist may not be prepared to treat pains of the body, he should be able to make diagnoses and refer his patients to medical men for treatment.
One expert, Dr. Edward J. Ryan, of the University of Illinois college of dentistry, said that the dentist is a diagnostic must think of the teeth and the supporting tissues as points of origin of facial and head pains and systematic disease.
The dentist also must consider the teeth and their neighboring tissues as being sometimes involved in dis- tion of other tissues and organs, he said.

Egyptians Dig Up Pottery And Food Entombed At Newly Found Burial Site
This high, rocky site, free from humidity, was eminently suitable for burials. Unfortunately, while this year's excavations were the first to be undertaken scientifically, many of the toms had been plum- dered by ancient or modern robbers.

It was on the southern part of the site, where the graves were rectangular and made of brick, that the depredations had been committed.
In the tombs still in tact, most of the bodies were stretched out full length, facing north, but some had knees bent, and some were in a crouching position. Coffins were either of wood plastered inside or of reed, but all were in bad condition. The bodies wore amulets of gold, cornelian crystal, rock amethyst, and faience.

Most valued is a fine painter's palette of schist, inscribed with vertical lines of hieroglyphics, giving
the names and titles of the owner, chief scribe of King Pepi of the sixth dynasty.
Among other articles, Professor Hamada found vases of alabaster, limestone, and pottery containing wheat and barley, head-rests, ointment tablets, copper mirrors, and well-preserved loaves of bread.
In the coming season the excavators hope to dig out the tomb of a certain Ity, at which inscribed slabs of limestone already have been found.
Many Romans were found scattered among the older tombs. Some of their cylindrical burial jars had been forced inside the ancient mastabas.
Sheets of gold fitted closely over the eyebrows, eyes, and mouths of some mummified bodies, and in the hands of some silver or bronze coins

Plainville, Ga.—(U.P.)-Police credited a bulldog with breaking up an attempted robbery of a Plainville store.
