Teeth Mystery Is
Growing Deeper

TNHE teeth mystery" grows deeper.
L You remember that The Star yesterday told
how ]. A. Anderson. of Bremerton had lost his set
of false teeth and of the search he making for
them finally ensting The Star in his campaign?
Well Mrs B. Jeffres, of the Barker hotel walked
into The Star office Tuesday with set of false teeth
which she said she found four weeks ago Sunday on
Pine ST But here's the rub
The reporter is no expert dentistry but this set
looks very much to him like W0MEN'S TEETH.
So now instead of having only one set of mans
teeth to look for he also has to search for
who owns the teeth he has on hand
If Mr.. Anderson, some one else, can straghten
,ut the mystery puzzled reporter will appreciate it.
