Teeth That Won't Stop Growing.

One of the most extraordinary cases
known to dental science is that of a
Virginia man whose teeth won't stop
growing. About five months ago he
discovered that his teeth were becom-
ing longer and more prominent He
consulted dentist, who advised him
to have them trimmed. He did so, and
soon after they began to grow faster
than at first. He had them sawed OF
again, but they continued to grow.
The best doctors were called in, but
none can tell tho cause of this strange
affection. At this time his teeth are
almost an inch long and are turning
backward in his mouth, SO that eating
is difficult; hence there are fears that
the disease may result fatally.

Wednesday Night, the
Captain Says.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 29.-Henry
Ford was back in Detroit today max
ing feverish preparations for the sail
ing Of his peace ship, the Oscar II,
next Saturday. But he found time to
receive newspaper men at his tractor
factory in Dearborn. Seated on a
stool In the boiler room OF the factory,
the automobile manufacturer opened
un on his critics, especially English
efforts.
IF this war Is stopped now. 1t will
be England who has made it possible,
Ford said. 'If England had not come
into the war when she did, wave Of
militarism would have spread over
the other countries which could not
have been stopped. England has made
1t possible not only to stop war, but
to stop the spread of militarism and
destruction.
Ford denied with some heat that he
had pro-German tendencies.
'T am pro-British If this war can
be stopped now" he said. "Of course.
Z am pro-peace before everything.
The time to stop the war is now, not
only because of the wave and destruc-
ton of 1t, but the greatest hope OF a
lasting international peace lies In the
war being halted before any great ma
ton wins a decided victory
Ford declared that plans for the
peace cruise would be practically
complete before Wednesday night,
when he will return to New York.
Ford was in receipt of an offer to-
day from New York motion picture
concern to finance the entire peace
expedition in return for the exclusive
motion picture rights. The local mil
lionaire said he thought he would be
able to stand the expense himself.
Reports that former Secretary OF
State Bryan was enroute to Detroit to-
day to confer with Ford. could not be

PEACE
SAIL SATURDAY
Under a Lucky Omen.


NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Henry
Ford's peace ship will sail under
lucky omen next Saturday on its mis-
sion to bring the boys out of the
trenches"
Louis p. Lochner. secretary of the
national peace federation, discovered
today that Oscar II, name OF the peace
liner, was also the name of Swedish
king famous for his stand for peace.
"When the people of what is now
Norway decided to break away from
Sweden and form a new kingdom
some OF the Swedish leaders wanted
Oscar II to put down the rebellion
with arms said Lochner.
But the king let them go their way
and for probably the first time in his
tory kingdom was divided without
bloodshed' y
Ford telephoned HE peace head
quarters from Detroit today that he
would arrive here Thursday morning
ready to join the peace party. While
it is understood The Hague will be
the meeting place Of the peace con-
ference, that matter has not been
settled definitely, Lochner said. 1t Is
possible Ford will provide accommo-
dations on other liners for delegates
unable to reach New York in time to
sail on the Oscar ii. Lochner gave
out copy of telegram from Cover
nor Capper Of Kansas, wishing Ford
every success and expressing regret
that he was unable to make the trip.
Capper wired that the laws of Kansas
made no provision for an acting gov
ernor in the absence OF the states
executive.
Lochner made public today twelve
additional names of persons who have
accepted Ford's invitation to accom-
pany him to Europe as delegates to Q
