According to a practicing dentist and teacher, the negative attitudes of parents adopted by children can a a lifetime, and are sometimes handed down to the next generation, according to the Medical and Pharmaceutical Information Bureau. Some adults would actually ralher endure a toothache than see a dentist.

MARTIN, who came here originally from Cincinnati, was the type of entrepreneur that was needed to help Xenia come into the industrial age. A pump manufacturer, he began promoting utilities and sparked the waterworks, electricity and interurban electric lines even though i i finances prevented him from seeing these ventures to conclusion. When he proposed a water system in 1886, City Council agreed to put it to a vote of the people. The paper described the vote as the quietest ever held but public confidence in Martin's proposal was such that it carried by a vote of 761 to 38.

It must be said that Martin "sold" the waterworks idea to the public. Lacking finances to proceed he transferred his franchise to Goodhue Birnie of Springfield, Mass. They started construction in 1887 and it was an exciting period in town history as citizens watched the trenching for the pipes in its slow progress. THE WATER PLANT was located a mile and one-half north, of the city at Old Town Kun where there were a number of springs and a dam was built to create a reservoir. Pressure was obtained from a standpipe at the east end of Market St.

115. feet high and 20 feet in diameter with a capacity of. 250,000 gallons. George Cooper, who superintended construction, remained here as operating head. A drought in 1895 showed the necessity for an additional water supply and a plant was installed on Cincinnati Pk.

pumping from 18 wells. After 15 years Goodhue Birnie sold the utility to James Phillips of Scranton, Pa. who operated it until 1904 when it was sold to Frank M. Green of Washington, D. C.

A company, the Xenia Water was formed in 1907 to acquire the property and 57 of the 61 stockholders were Xenians. George Little was elected president, C. E. Arbogust, vice president, and Cooper was named secretary-treasurer and general manager. These officers composed the board with M.

L. Wolf and C. L. Jobe. THE WATER PLANT of course, made possible the sewer system, for which there was considerable agitation before Council passed a resolution June 29, 1900 to have a sewer commission appointed.

Passed at one session as emergency legislation it called for the mayor to name five members of the commission. He wa.s ready with his selections: Robert Williams, H. J. Farrell, E. C.

Fleming, John C. Conwell and H. E. Schmidt. The commission contracted for construction at a price of $68,000, which was so dow that the contractor lost money that is said to have led to his death.

It was said the installation actually was worth $100,000 to the city. The city benefited from the fact there were no hard paved streets to dig up for the sewer lines. Paved streets came after the city had sewage disposal. B. JAY BECKER on bridge The Element of Luck West dealer.

My partner (Mrs. Dorothy Hayden) and I got to game o'rt the bidding shown. Her three notrump bid with the singleton king of clubs was certainly imaginative, and was moreover amply rewarded when she made the contract after West led a low club.

Mrs. Hayden won the queen with the king and ran six diamonds, placing West under severe stress. He followed twice and discarded a heart and a spade, but then, In order to protect his king of spades, discarded two clubs. Now. Mrs.

Hayden played a heart. West took the ace and cashed three clubs, but that was the end of the line. He had to yield the last two tricks and Mrs. Hayden thus made three nofrump. You could call the hand a brilliant success, if you were so minderf but, all the same, there was a lot of luck attached to it.

Thus, at a- different table, against similar bidding, West made the inspired lead of ace of clubs against three notrump, East-West the first seven tricks to -put the contract down three.
