Dec 16 UP) The bozzing dentist's drill some day may be replaced by an instrument that looks like a miniature water hose.

The device, which uses the techniques of sand blasting and vacuum cleaning, was described on a radio forum last night by Dr. Arthur B. Gabel of the University of Pennsylvania. He said the device might eliminate 90 per cent of drilling. However, he said it would not be ready for the market for "some time." It cuts teeth with a blast of aluminum oxide particles in a stream of carbon monoxide gas.

The particles then are removed by a vacuum system "There are no' vibrations of any kind, hence ho noise. There is less than one-half ounce of pressure, an amount so small that the patient cannot detect it" Dr. Gabel said. "Heat, which is considered an important cause of pain, is completely eliminated," he added. at wnat tne National Safety Coun cil has dug up this year in Its annual search for odd accidents! ft Whatever you build you build it better with Monkeys that drive cars into people boats that crash into autos on dry land collar but' Hi i tons that send collar buttoners to the hospital fish that are run over by autos while swimming' g) ittm i firm zaiien angels that bust their bones You may have suspected that some accidents are caused by monkey business.

Excavations for a concrete pier that- will' be sunk some 56 feet underground and extend into the air some 90 feet under way on the Chickamauga Dam Bridge project a visit there yesterday revealed.

A crew of some 30 workmen started to work on the substructure last month and thus far approximately 4,500 yards of concrete have been poured. Most of the piers will be steel beams anchored in concrete footings. The concrete work done this far has been on the footings. The big pier, which will be concrete from the base to the bridge level, is located on the bank of the North Chattanooga Creek diversionary channel on the north side of the dam. Another pier, also of concrete, but not as long, will be on the.

opposite of the channel. Workmen were busy yesterday building-a coffer dam around the two-pier footings so the excavation work can proceed. The building will be in two construction phases. The first phase, erection of the substructure, is now in progress and probably will not be completed before another year ends. 'The, second phase is the erection of the superstructure.

The bridge is scheduled tentatively for completion late in 1952. Spans in Bridge There will be 31 spans in the bridge. All will be supported by steel and concrete piers. Seven of the spans are on the north bank and eight are on the south bank. The other 16 will be over the dam.

Jt will be necessary to make some alterations in the dam to attach the bridge to it. These alterations call for anchor at the end of each of the spans. Work on that phase of the project has already started. Also under way is the north stair tower that will sit upon the Chickamauga locks. A stairway from the walkway on the bridge down to the locks will be provided in that tower.

Workmen already have started setting the concrete and steel into the piers for that tower. The American Bridge Company has the contract to fabricate the steel for the structure. The fabrication work usually requires as much time as erecting it. Delivery of the steel has not started yet. The structure will tie into approach roads at either end.

Grading on these roads started months ago. Most of that work has been finished. There is some left to be done on the north side approach. A crew was busy on that approach yesterday. The Tennessee Valley Authority's engineering and construction staff is supervising the project.
