NEW BRITAIN UNDER
MARTIALLAW NOW
Guardsmen Patrol Streets
After Nine Fires in
Factory City.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn, Feb. 81
New Britain is under martial law to
day, with two companies of State
guardsmen patrolling its streets, fol
lowing nine simultaneous fires in diff
ferent parts of the city last night.
Two men are under arrest on sus-
picion.
Repairs are being rushed on the
electric fire alarm system, which
broke down when several persons
turned in simultaneous alarms.
Local fire departments were still at
work early today quenching smolder-
ing embers. Volunteer engine compa-
MES from Hartford, Bristol, Water
bury, Plaintield have been sent home.
New Britain has many factories
which have been making munitions
for the entente allies. The belief was
expressed that some fanatic, hoping
to stop their manufacture, set the
fires by means of time incendiary
bombs, but no evidence OF bombs has
been found A tenement house, three
residences, a garage, a synagogue,
and a business block were destroyed
The damage is estimated at 5000.
Fire alarms came in rapid success
sion, and soon all apparatus was
working, and appeals for assistance
had been sent to nearby cities.
Companies 1 and L, First Infantry
were called out. and soon had re
stored order. BY midnight all blazes
were out and the city quiet.
The electric light, water, and gas
plants here have been placed under
military guard by Governor Holcomb

FALSE TEETH PRICES SOAR
Philadelphia Dentists Discuss High
Cost Of Molars.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-False
teeth have felt the effects of the
high cost Of living. A score of den
tai experts, all members OF the Psi
Omega fraternity, discussed this sub.
ject at a dinner which was given at
the Hotel Adelphia last night and al
which DR.. Frederick w. Allen was
host.
The. increasing cost of materials
entering into the manufacture OF
false teeth is the cause of this new
war calamity. Many dental acces
series are imported from Europe and
a single U-boat could do far more
toward inducing toothless Americans
to resort to a Cruel and soup diet
than all the food strikes in New
York.
A shortage of rubber from which
teeth plates are made is another
cause A cubic foot of rubber will
bring a higher price from a belliger
ent government to be used in the
fabrication of munitions than the
same would command IL turned into
teeth plates.
1t was suggested that the situation
might be saved by reducing the size
of teeth. but 1t was pointed out that
THE method might produce practical
results, but would not add to the
beauty of a persons appearance.
