they could win back the disputed

Injured Duck Is
Given Upper Bill
Insert Plastic Substitute in
Delicate Operation.

PEEKSKILL, N. Y.-The Peeks-
kill dental laboratory has IS guest
and patient a duck to which a pink
upper bill was affixed recently. The
bird, a mallard from Lake Mitchell
in the Chauncey M. Depew memo
rial park, is as amazed as any hui
mans who have seen it, and squats
morosely in a corner staring cross
eyed at its new adornment, and
quacking in a disgruntled manner.
Clayton Barger, park superintend-
ent, noticed on Monday that the
mallard was in distress, gyratlng
wildly about the park lake and
squawking dismally 1t was Tues
day before he could get close enough
to the bird to discover what was
wrong. Only the stump of its upper
bill remained
DR.. Robert Poritzky, dentist who
had heard about the unfortunate
duck, told the board of park com
missiOners he thought an upper bill
could be modelled of plastic and
cemented in place If enough of the
stump of the old bill remained, he
said, the mallard would be under nc
greater handicap than a human
being who relied on false teeth in
his upper jaw.
The board of park commissioners
told Mr.. Barger to catch the afflict-
ed duck and have the restoration
performed Mr.. Barger is of the
opinion that the most difficult part
OF the operation was assigned tC
him. 1t took him and three other
men three days to catch the injured
duck. They took it to the denta
laboratory, where measurements
were made and a new upper bill
modelled
Pink plastic was used because il
happened to be handy. Dr. Poritz
ky and Harry Ginberg. manager Of
the laboratory, painted the stub Of
the ducks upper bill with silver
nitrate, affixed the pink bill with
germicidal cement and wired il
firmly in place with sutures of stain
less steel.
The duck submitted with exceed
ingly i'll grace and waddled off to q
corner of its pen IN a huff wher
the operation was completed. With
in an hour or two, however, it was
consuming sodden bread with in
creasing interest, pausing in amaze
ment, however, at intervals during
the feeding period to stare at its
pink nose, which is transparent anc
resembles the handle of q tooth
brush.

foreign to her, Glory Weller Miller
cannot pierce the fog Of amnesia
that enveloped her upon the death
of her wealthy first husband nearly
q year ago.
Henry Miller, a commercial pho
tographer, says he married the at
tractive 25-year-old blonde model
last May l at Las Vegas, New. But
Detective Lieut.. B. S. Diller, who
took her to Miller's studio when she
was brought to the detective bureau
as an amnesia victim, said:
az have never heard a woman
scream as she screamed when /
told her Miller was her husband"
Twenty-four hours earlier Miller
had reported her missing. The de-
tective identified her from photo
graph Miller left with police.
Future Undecided.
Asked if she planned to continue
as Miller's wife, she said:
IN have to get my bearings. /

is that / have absolutely no recol-
lection of marrying this man. Last
night he said he was going to stay
here in the apartment, and he did
but he slept on that davenport over
there"
The Millers agreed that they
would live together for while to
see how it works out"
Miller told police his wife failed to
return one night from a little thea
ter rehearsal.
To Diller she related "All of a
sudden found myself driving along
a North Hollywood street in a
strange automobile The last thing
l remember was finding my hus-
band dead"

Amnesia Victim. E
Diller said he was convinced Mrs
Miller was a victim of amnesia
when she was brought to the station.
Il took her first to the apartment
where she and Miller lived" he
said. "She looked around as though
she. had never been there before.
Then she saw suitcase She
said: Why, that's mine. What is
it doing here?' She also recognized
an old coat and dressing gown in
the apartment. The funny thing was
that these all were articles she'd
had in Atascadero, before her first
husband died
She looked in the mirror and
saida That's not the color of my
hair. My hair should be brown, "
Diller said.
Re can't remember ever meeting
Mr.. Miller or marrying him in Las
Vegas" she continued. He says he
met me at the Caliente races last
February"
AS she talked, she recalled the ex-
istence Of her diary. A later exami-
nation Of the book showed Weller's
death had never left her mind, for
the entry of May l, 1912, the date
on which Miller says he married
her, read as follows:
