BIG PRICE FOR STORE TEETH
Cast orr MoInrs Eagerly sought Tor
the Platinum pins they
Contain.

Have YOU any Cd sets OF false tee n

If you have now is the time 20 DIG
them out Of retirement. for they arc just
as good as United states sold money
today. and many dentists will sad
pay you around 80 cents plate or 81 a.
set for them. Contrary to tho general
belief, the teeth are never used again.
nor is the rubber plate in demand. but in
each tooth is a very small amount OF
platinum that is much in demand just
at present Tho war, OF course is the
reason.
In each false tooth of most manufac-
turcrs there are two small platinum wire
pins. perhaps one-sixteenth Of an inch in
thickness and less than n quarter OF an
inch in length. The pins are worth ap-
proximately 2 cents each or cents for
the tooth, and are what the purchase
Of old false teeth are after. The older the
set Of teeth the moro valuable they arc
for in the coed old days the platinum wa
used more freely than in late years. This
metal, containing a 20 per cent iridium
alloy to harden II, is used because of the
high resistance It offers to nearly all
chemical action and the heat in prepar-
! ing the teeth in the plates.
One year ago today the price Of plat
mum, probably the most valuable metal
in the world in general USE was about
$40 10 si5 an ounce Practically the en-
tire worlds supply comes from the TRIAL
mountains in Russia, and on account Of
the war this supply has been to all pur-
poses shut off entirely. The other places
where the metal is found produce only a
m nor amount and are unable to fiji the
market demand. Hence, the price today
! is quoted at $40 an ounce. A year ago
| false teeth were just old false teeth and
meant nothing further tnan that. but to
day they are the equivalent OF real
money. Gold is worth only 500 an ounce.
therefore platinum is worth more than
five times as much as this additionally
valuable metal. And the platinum does
not glitter, either; in fact, it doesn't even
ishine.
All over the country dentists jewelers.
and manufacturers of false teeth are adj
vertising for plates and sets, offering to
pay the highest cash prices for each. a
short time ago it was not unusual to sec
numerous sets Of old false teeth in the
pawnshops. but no more. They have
been sold and the pawnbrokers made a
tidy profit. for they only paid from ;
cents to 10 cents a plate for them then.
False teeth are a good investment. ami
the longer the war lasts the higher p at
/ mum and the false teeth prices will soar.

Mr.. Porter of the old Porter-Allen En-
CINE company. built for Edison his first
high-speed engine OF $50 horsepower and
100 revolutions minute. Edison SAYS:
we set the machine up i'm the old shop.
and as we had some idea Of what might
happen, We tied a chain round the tbrot-
tie valve and ran it out through a win
dow into the woodshed, where we stood
to work IT,
II ran oh. yes II ran. Every time il
turned over IL shook the armament and
tried to lift the whole hill with II
Toned down 10 $50 revolutions. Il ran
satisfactorily and everybody said: 'Wbv

teal such an engine is. Now, don't YOU

rounded was complete and nothing

were we'll on their way to the belliger-
ent capitals.
League of Nations Proposed
The definite proposal of the United
States for "a league of nations to in
sure peace and justice throughout the
world" is interpreted as a step which,
If carried through, would mean the
abandonment of the theory of "splen-
did isolation" which Washington be-
queathed to the country. Significance
is attached to the fact that the Presi-
dent uses the word insure" rather
than enforce" as indicating that he
has not committed himself to any one
program to accomplish that end but
that he is open to whatever sugges-
tions may seem best to the other
world nations.
Repeated efforts have been made to
enlist the American government in
some sort of international agreement
involving responsibility but always the
answer has been that the United
months ago President Wilson spoke
earnestly before the League to En-
force Peace of his hope that the
United States would join in some new
international arrangements, but not
until now is he known to have made
of the world.
Guarantee Against More Wars
1t is thought here that along these
lines President Wilson's note will find
it's most ready reception abroad, for
all parties have indicated their belief
that the war will have been in vain
unless from it comes guarantees
against its repetition. Former Foreign
Minister Sir Edward Grey for Eng
land. Premier BRAND for France and
Chancellor Bethmann-H ollweg for
Germany have all committed their ma
tions to some sort of international re-
organization to secure the ends laid
down in the Presidents note and the
official offers of the central powers
together with Lloyd Georges speech in
reply have accentuated that purpose
As yet, however. the actual pro-
cedure may be adopted appears uncer-
tain. Germany apparently has given
up her early opposition. to disarma-
ment which nearly split the second
ment has come from either England
or France on this subject in the pres
ent circumstances. 1t was England
however, at The Hague conference
seconded by France and the United
States. that insisted on stating its view
in favor of disarmament.
Deepest interest centered to-day in
the probable time and form of the
belligerents reply it is assumed that
the members of each group of allies
will consult one another and agree on
uniform statement of views but
whether that statement will be Joint
identic or different in each case is not
known. The solidarity which has
been so strikingly shown both by the
central powers identic proposals and
the allies practically simultaneous re-
sponse Is expected to be continued
here. 1t is thought also that some
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-21

time may elapse before the different
groups can settle down to an actual
agreement on terms to be presented
in case it is decided to heed the
Presidents request by going into them
fully.
Meanwhile the allied ententes' re-
sponse to the central powers proposals
are expected almost any time for
transmission through this country to
their various destinations.
Relying on Neutrals
President Wilson is relying upon
public opinion in other neutral ma
tons to add force to his efforts to
clarity the situation. While the Am
erican government acted entirely on
its own responsibility, President Will
son feels other neutral nations, for
economic reasons, are vitally interest
ed In the outcome. 1t was stated au-
thoritatively to-day that the Presi-
dent acted without any assurance that
his move would be favorably received
by the entente allies. He took the
position, ii was said, however, that
his note calls for replies, and that even
though unfavorable, the responses
would tend to make clear the objects
of the belligerents and establish some
common ground.
Hopeful of Outlook
There is every indication that Presi-
dent wilson Is hopeful of the outlook
and he believes the way has been
opned for negotiations. What steps
he takes in the future depend entirely
upon the nature of the responses from
the belligerents.
The President already has made
clear that while the American govern
ment has no interest in the terms on
which peace is made between the
belligerents themselves, it has a very
profound interest in bringing about an
agreement for maintaining peace in
the future.
The dispatch of the notes brought
the greatest array of diplomats to the
State Department seen there in
months. The German, British, Jap
anese, italian and Brazilian ambassa-
dors were early visitors. The Bull
garian and Persian ministers also call
ed as did charges from other legations.
