Scarcity of platinum.

Cleveland, Nov. 6. - The price of
false teeth is mounting at an alarming
rate as the result of scarcity of plati-
mum. The last month the increase
has been more than 81 per set. Since
dentistry has reached its present stage
of perfection it has been almost i'm
possible to supply the increasing de-
mand for artificial teeth. Platinum is
used in pinning the porcelain tooth to
the plate. 1t is the only metal that
will resist the great heat necessary to
fuse the porcelain. For similar rea-
sons platinum is the only substance
that can be used in the manufacture
of electrical contact points and con-
ductors, and this industry Is one
cause OF the shortage.
