New York, Jan. 24. Using George Washington's sword as a poker for the open .fireplace, and one of the bells that proclaimed liberty at the begin- ning of the Revolutionary War as a garbage can, Joseph and Michael Buckowicki, six years old, were able to live quite comfortably In a cottage on the bid Davis estate, in Franklin St., Bloomfleld, N. J. But after six weeks of such luxury the careless cooking of a meal revealed - their retreat and they have been sent to the New Jersey State Reformatory. y;Th qottage was used as a storehouse; for the many things or historical , in terest owned by the Davis family and not in use in their house. There were trunks containing tapestries, linens, and beddinf. On the walls were swords and ' other weapons that .had seen service in America's different wars, and about the rooms were pieces of antique furniture and the bell that had repeated the original Liberty Bell message. The Buckowicki children longed for the Juxury of wealth and In prowling about the Davis x,place fqund a way into the old cottage and soon were .halving into its treasures. As the Da- - vis hen house adjoined, tbje two boys decided "to remain there and, for six weeks they kept house. v Their pa- rents had reported them as missing, and the V Davis family had reported many eggs arid numerous chickens as missing. : (V .With a sword credited to General Washington in his retreat through New Jersey the boys had dissected a plump hen that had been enticed from the poultry yard on Wednesday, and were frying it .when they became engrossed in, the . pictures' f a war time book. They did not' notice that the trying , pan was without fat and that smoke was going out a window. ' A neighbor saw the smoke believed the cottage was burning and notified Miss ,v Josephine Davis. ' She , and neighbors ; ran to ? the cottage and fouhd the tfwo Juvenile squatters! The police were called. The boys had made beds pf old tap- estries and linens arid had neglected to change the linen in six weeks. When Miss Da vis. saw ; hundreds of unoccu- pied eggshells in Liberty Bell she knew why she had not been getting eggs from her hens. The boys explained that they had a kind of "nest to the " ' ' table" seivlce.

She. had scarcely received the new ones ' be- fore she rued the experlment--an- d sued the dentist. The evidence show- ed that five of the 22 teeth were al- together sound, that three had only small cavities, and that three more had cavities easily filled.

' The1 court heldthat the dentist had no right to submit blindly to the wishes of a patient, and that if the patient insisted on ' an operation against his or her health,' the dentist's duty was to decline to perform it.

New York, Jan. 24. Using GeorgeWashington's sword as a poker for theopen .fireplace, and one of the bellsthat proclaimed liberty at the begin-ning of the Revolutionary War as agarbage can, Joseph and MichaelBuckowicki, six years old, were able tolive quite comfortably In a cottage onthe bid Davis estate, in Franklin St.,Bloomfleld, N. J. But after six weeksof such luxury the careless cooking ofa meal revealed - their retreat andthey have been sent to the New JerseyState Reformatory.y;Th qottage was used as a storehouse;

for the many things or historical , interest owned by the Davis family andnot in use in their house. There weretrunks containing tapestries, linens,and beddinf. On the walls wereswords and ' other weapons that .hadseen service in America's differentwars, and about the rooms were piecesof antique furniture and the bell thathad repeated the original Liberty Bellmessage.

The Buckowicki children longed forthe Juxury of wealth and In prowlingabout the Davis x,place fqund a wayinto the old cottage and soon were

.halving into its treasures. As the Da- -vis hen house adjoined, tbje two boysdecided "to remain there and, for sixweeks they kept house. v Their pa-rents had reported them as missing,and the V Davis family had reportedmany eggs arid numerous chickens asmissing.

pan was without fat and that smokewas going out a window.' A neighbor saw the smoke believedthe cottage was burning and notifiedMiss , v Josephine Davis. ' She , andneighbors ; ran to ? the cottage andfouhd the tfwo Juvenile squatters! Thepolice were called.

The boys had made beds pf old tap-estries and linens arid had neglectedto change the linen in six weeks. WhenMiss Davis. saw ; hundreds of unoccu-pied eggshells in Liberty Bell she knewwhy she had not been getting eggsfrom her hens. The boys explainedthat they had a kind of "nest to the

TIa.IU O A A 1 .4.decision- - here ' has just had to do withthe complaint of u young woman whodisliked her own white but tiny teeth,and; induced a dentist to pull thewhole 22 at once and substitute larg-er and more artistic teeth.' She. hadscarcely received the new ones ' be-

fore she rued the experlment--an- d

sued the dentist. The evidence show-ed that five of the 22 teeth were al-

together sound, that three had onlysmall cavities, and that three morehad cavities easily filled. At leastese . 11 , teeth should not have ' beenpulled. : Though the . dentist had pro-tested as much to her originally, shehad insisted that they all be extract-ed. ' The1 court heldthat the dentisthad no right to submit blindly to thewishes of a patient, and that if thepatient insisted on ' an operationagainst his or her health,' the dentist'sduty was to decline to perform it.The dentist accordingly was foundguilty of breach of the law pertain-ing to "good manners."
