 For False Teeth

Cleveland, O., Oct. 3rd-Non-Skid Shock Absorbers for false teeth are the latest thing. Heretofore shock absorbers, non-skid tires. rubber heels, and such-like things have sup. lposedly been limited in their app1ica- ton but now a chemical concern in Cleveland is advertising powder which, sprink1ed upon "store teeth" is supposed to form a smooth cush- ion, hold them firmly in place, and give "non-skid" effect while they rornp over the toughest roasting ears of corn and chew the stickiest candy.
 It is comforting for one who has lost his natural teeth to supply him. self with this antissptic. adhesive powder-corega at a drug store, and proceed to laugh and sneeze. crack nuts and do other hazardous things without risk of shaking his prized -"store teeth" from their upper and lower berths.

WE MUST STUDY ECONOMY STILL
 MORE CAREFULLY

It is the opinion of many business men that great numbers of people are making purchases very lavishly and not questioning prices as they used to. One man tells of a family that never learned to keep their house clean, yet who all have fur coats, though they are indoor workers.
 There are still great masses of peo- pIe that never had advances in in come comparable to the increased cost of living, and who consequently must study economies more carefully than ever before But a multitude have fared well in the economic up heaval, and are spending money very freely.
 This creates a condition that tends still further to promote high price level If the producing and distrlbut- ing trades discover that people are willing to pay any price, they quickly conclude that they can safely stick on a little more. If they find people questioning price advances, they are cautious and inclined to keep old trade by doing business on small margin.
 In so far as people are buying bet
  ing materials, they are making no mistake. But even hereSthey need to study prices and see whether they are paying g. fancy figure or not. There are always bargains to be had. Those who keep watch by newspaper advertising find chances to buy hrst grade article at the same price which the seconds bring regularly.
 People who have simple tastes can still furnish a home without tremen- dous outlay. But many people Who find themselves suddenly with money in their pocket, can't stand the gilt ter of diamonds and simmer of beautiful fabrics. Lavish purchasing lifts the cost oi living all along the line, and leads fo 1 emphasis on production of costly arti- | cles, rather than the essentials oi plain living.

GOVERNMENT
 BUILT HOUSES
 SELLING FAST
Made of Excellent Material Price Very Req sonable.

During the past week the govern
 ment built houses at Grassmere and
 Old Mill Green, have been an attrac-
 ton for many Bridgeporters who are seeking permanent homes with all
 modern conveniences, in desirable locations, at moderate prices.
 There is an old saying that fools
 build houses, but wise men live in
 them"
 E These government houses are an illustration of this old saying, Not
 that the government is fool. But
 it has eGected a large number of
 houses in this city from the very best
 material, from designs by America $
 foremost architects and in grounds
 laid out by the most famous land
 scape gardeners, which it is offering
 to sell at a price much below the
 original cost, or for about one-ha1f
 the cost of reproducing these houses
 at the present market price of ma terial and labor.
 The Bridgeporters who purchase these houses will be the "wise men" of the adage, for they will obtain i homes for a fraction of their cost and will then own properties which in the course of a few years they can dis pose of at a handsome profit, if they so desire.
 Harry A. Burnes, who is in charge of the sale, says that there are 3 number of wise men in Bridgeport who are taking advantage of the won. derful bargains offered by the gov. ernment both at Grassmere and Old Mill Green.
 Only 10 per cent. of the purchase price is required at the time of pur- chase and the balance can be paid of 1 in monthly inst ailments of one pei i cent.
 The properties can also be pur chased on the all cash basis or the 1 purchaser can pay substantial sun 1 down and obtain a mortgage for the i balance from the banks or othel Ioaners of money,

TESTFIES ON
 LOSS OF FIVE
 BARGES IN STORM

Capt. David Conrad, master of the tug Robert McA1lister of this city, was 8 witness in the suit of the New York Trap Rock Co.,, which has just. been Trap Rock Co.,, which has ust been finished in the United States District court, New York. The suit grew out of the loss of five barges loaded with gravel which were wrecked in New Haven harbor during a gale in Octo- Der, 1917. Capt. Conrad was master of the tug Clarence Blakeslee, which was towing some of the barges, and he was charged with negligence. The court found in his favor, however, and freed him from the negligence charge.

NEW METHOD
 OF GUN WORK
 CUTS EXPENSE

Washington, Nov. as. - A new method of gun construction for the navy promises economy in both time and cost, according to Rear Admiral Ralph Earle, chief of ordnance, whose annual report was made pub- lie recently.
 "Radia1 expansion" by hydraulic pressure to obtain the necessary ad- herent strength or elasticity in the "built-up" weapons, is the basis of the new plan It will reduce the num- Der of sections In the guns as com pared to the heat shrinking process, the report said, and can be applied to guns up to six-inch rifles, but it has not been worked out for heavier weapons.
 Experimental four-inch monoblock or one-piece guns have proved thor oughly efficient under test, the report said.
 Construction of sixteen inch guns for the remaining ships authorized in the three-year program, including the six 43,000-ton drea eadnoughts and six batt1e-cruisers. is, being speeded up the report said, More than 5000 tons of arnor plate still will be re- quired for this program.
 Supplies of ammunition were said to be abundant, taxing storage de- pots. During the war, the report said, not a single warship or merchant man was held up by lack of ammu- nition."
 To supply the new ships, it was said, increased facilities for torpedo construction will be needed, and every effort to increase the destructive force and range" of the torpedo also will be made. The surplus of mines produced in connection with the North Sea mine barrage has caused an overflow at the mine depots, pre- senting problem of properly pro- tecting this material.
 Improved fire control apparatus, based on experience gained in the war, will make the United States navy the equal in this equipment Of any in the world, the report said.

M MANY ITALIANS
 HAVE RETURNED
 TO. HOME LAND

Naples, Nov. About SO,0O0 in.-
 migrants have returned to Italy from
 the United States through the port of
 Naples since January 1. The number
 is increasing month by month, and with the recent release of ships hith- erto requisitioned by the Allies, it is
 estimated that 10000 Italians will
 greet Vesuvius again every month. The fortunes brought by the re- turning Italians are gladly welcomed by their relatives, made needy by the war. The prosperous appearance of the passengers is generally com mented upon, being probably the re- suit of five years of savings at war time wages in America, and their well made clothes and substantial
 baggage form striking comparison to the bags and rags in evidence when emigrants leave for America.
 Emigration of Italians to the Unit
 ed States by way of Naples, the most important embarkation point in Southern Europe. is still very far from pre-war levels Data from the Italian Emigration Office in this city indicates that, aside from returning
 reservists, 3217 Italians sailed to the United States from Naples during the i first eight and a half months of 1919. The great majority of these were wives, children, and other near rela- lives of Italians already in the United States, who have hitherto been pre- vented from joining their families because of conditions incident to the world war. The number of actual l emigrants as the word is ordinarily
 used, is practically negligible.
 | TrS- cf ruftT1 hi l may be noted that in 1913, the last year before the war, 198.664 emi-
 grants left Naples for the United States. The difference between the l two totals is ascribed to the results 1 of the operation of the Lteracy Law of 1917. dearth of ships and abnor- l n1ally high passenger rates, and the
 continuance of American passport re- strictions.

To Sam Hall goes the honor of
pitching the first no-hit game in the
league. thereby holding the record
and had 1t not been for two errors
in the ninth inning it would have
been a no-hit and no-run game.
The boy certainly pitched wonder
full game such as Is hard to duplicate.
Inning after inning those Smokers
would trot up to the plate determined
to connect and get ou, but only to
be retired in one, two. three order; 1t
was case of three men up and three
down for the first six innings, for
not until eighteen men had been at
the plate facing Hall, were they able
to get az man on first.
Talk about your beautiful game!
Well, each game those Smokers
played here were great games, but
Saturdays game had them all stand
ing on their ears. The ninth inning
brought with it the big excitement of
the game and this is how it was
caused at all. Farrior the first man
up in the ninth was an easy out at
first. Wells, next up, worked Hall
for pass to first.
Alvarez hit to Turner and every
body expected nice double play, but
he fumbled the ball and both men
were safe. That started the noise In
the stand, the Smoker rooters shout
ing and roaring In hopes to lie the
score. Leon next up also hit to
Turner at short and again he FUN
bled the ball thereby filling the bases
with but one man down. Now you
might imagine the noise. Gosh! Any
one would think that all the wild men
from South Africa had been turned

Precipitation AS a whole, the
rainfall was less than during the
previous week, except portions of the
extreme north, where some stations
reported from three to five inches.
Rains were moderate on the East

Condition of Crops-Rains were
unfavorable for cotton generally in
the extreme northern and western
portions of the State, and, taken in
connection with the wet weather OF
the previous week. resulted in con-
tinued unfavorable condition. Work
was suspended over a large area, and
the weevil continued as a serious
menace to the crop. In some instanc.
es fields were too wet to work sweet
potatoes. Field peas are fair to good:
haying and fodder pulling were de-
layed by rain and much was dam
aged. Citrus continued good to ex
