NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—The cotton mar
ket was unsettled during today’s early
trading with business comparatively quiet.
Liverpool was considerably lower than due,
but the opening here was steady at an ad
vance of 5 points on October and 1 to 22
points lower on other months. Only five
December notices were reported, but De
cember was relatively easy at the start,
and the relativelv firm opening as compared
with Liverpool led to scattered selling of
later months. January eased off to 16.30 c
and March to 16.22 c in consequence, with
the general list ruling about 15 to 24
points net lower during the early trading.
Liverpool bought here apd there was some
Wall street buying but the south was a
Beller.
Trading was quiet later in the morning.,
w’ith fluctuations irregular The early bulge
met some southern selling and realizing by
recent buyers for a reaction, with January
Belling off to 16.10 c and March to 16.05 c, or
about 35 to 50 points net lower on the active
months. The decline was checked at these
• figures by renewed covering, however, and
the market held fairly steady during the
middle of the day. with prices showing »al
lies of about 20 to 25 points from the lowest.
The market was firmer during the middle
•f the afternoon on rather more active cov
ering and a little trade buying. Stop or
ders were uncovered on the advance which
carried January contracts up to 16.80, or
about 70 points above the low level of the

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 24.—The poor
•bowing of the Liverpool market caused
Belling of cotton on the opening here today
•nd prices were depressed 9 to 21 points.
A recovery soon set in because of the ab
sence of tenders, this being first notice
day for December. At the end of the first
half hour of business prices were 2 points
under to 4 points over the close of yes
terday. January sold down to 15.63 c and
reacted to 15.85 c.
The weakness in the wheat market and the
easiness of the stock market caused a sym
pathetic break in cotton, and in the trading
up to 11 o’clock prices were sent 30 to 40
points under the last quotations of yester
day, January dropping to 15.44 c. Trader,
who were friendly to the market apparently
witnheld their support because of the holiday
tomorrow.
In the second half of the session the price
was a&ected favorably by reports of a bet
ter spot demand both east and west and
by the claim from some Carolina points of
a better demand for cotton goods. Texas
messages claimed that England, Germany
and Italy were all in the market for large
lots of cotton, making it appear that at
tempts were under way to fill December
commitments. In the trading up to 1:30
o’clock, the active months bulged to net
advances og 21 to 32 points, January trad
ing up to 16.10.

Hog Prices Continue
Weak in All Markets
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.—The hog markets of
the country were practically demoralized to
day by the continued drog in quotations.
Heavy' receipts caused by dumping of poorer
grades of hogs on the markets by growers
and lack of purchasing by packers caused
the continued decline.
The market in Chicago xyas off $1 and
similar drops were recorded in other leading
centers. Prices ranged around $lO.
At East St. Louis violent declines in
prices made it impossible for traders/ to
determine the actual condition of the mar
ket with hogs off from $1 to $1.25.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Nov. 23.—Hog
prices continued to drop on the Indianapolis
market today. The lowest price was $9.25
for roughs with the bulk of sales at $lO.
This is the lowest that hogs have reached
on the local market since 1912.
PITTSBURGH. I’a.. Nov. 23.— Hog prices
fell 75 cents today, prime heavies soiling at
$10.25 to $10.50. with large receipts. Cattle
and sheep markets were dull and steady.
CLEVELAND, 0., Nov 23.—Mixed hogs
sold at $10.50 per hundred pounds at the
stock yards here today, the lowest price
this year. Today's price is $1 lower than
yesterday’s market.
Wheat and Rye Crops
Show Slight Increase
ROME, Nov. 22.—-The wheat and rye
erops of 1920 show a slight increase over
last year’s figures, says a bulletin issued
by the International Institute of Agricul
ture here today.
The yield of barley is seven per cent
larger than last year’s, oats 21 per cent
greater, and sugar beets 36 per cent more.
In Argentina, offers for the new wheat
erop are being made at somewhat lower
prices than those prevailing in mid-October,
the bulletin asserts.
Refined Sugar Took
Another Drop Today
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—The price of sugar
took another drop here today when the
Federal Sugar Refining company reduced
its list prices to the basis of 8.7 W for fine
granulated, a new low record for the season.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
J. W. Jay & Co.: We anticipate rapid
price movements in either direction around
the present level and expect tiie trend to
depend upon the attitude of southern hold
ers.
Moyse & Holmes: Such upturns as oc
curred in today’s market should be taken
advantage of for the sale of contracts.
N. L. Carpenter & Co.: There may not be
any sudden rally in all prices, but it seems
certain at least that the decline has seen
its end.
J. S. Bache & Co.: We have no very pos
itive opinion at present but believe the
chances favor some improvement.
S. M. Weld & Co.: There is no apparent
change in the general situation and we be
lieve prices will go lower.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: The question ot
the future value of cotton between now and
the new year continues to be one of when
will the spinner buy. This in turn is di
rectly dependent on the retail trade and
until retail prices are cut sufficiently to
induce tiie public into the market for retail
goods we do not believe we will have a sus
tained advance.

Sensational Decline in
Wheat and Corn Prices
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—Declines on the
Chicago Board of Trade continued in all
grain futures today.
The extensive short coverings of Tues
day left the market with little buying
power and it was unable to withstand the
pressure caused by reports of flour for ex
port being held up at Philadelphia by lack
of funds. As tiie decline began many who
purchased Tuesday dumped their holdings.
Provisions declined with tiie lower grain
and live stock market.
December wheat opening 4 cents lower,
at $1.61, later declined 4%. March lost
9 points after opening at $1.62, 1% off.
December corn at G7c opened down %e
and later was off 2e additional. May de
clined 2%c to 71%c after opening t%c off.
December oats opened late at 43%e, off
l%c. May opened unchanged, at 49%c,
and dropped to 48%c later.
Weekly Weather and
Cotton Crop Report
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—Government
weekly weather report says moderate to
heavy rains occurred in the eastern and
northeastern portions of cotton belt, but
in central and western portions weather
during much of the week was mild.
Considerable cotton remains unpicked in
Texas and Oklahoma, especially that ot
lower grade in latter state. The weather
was favorable for picking in all central
and western districts. In northeast, how
ever. harvest was somewhat interrupted by
rain and a uappreciable amount of eotton
remains unpicked in the Carolinas, par
ticularly in North Carolina. Picking prog
ressed favorably in Arizona, but is less
than half completed.

GRAIN
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—Acute fresh weak
ness developed in the wheat market today.
There was a general rush to sell, and a
nearly complete lack of support. Reports
of distress in Hie flour trade at Philadelphia
formed Hie chief bearish influence. It was
said Philadelphia merchants had on hand
300,000 barrels of flour for which there was
no demand. Downturns in stocks and cot
ton tended further to unsettle confidence.
Opening prices ranged from 1 to 4%c lower.
Wheat closed unsettled, 7% to 9% cents
net lower.
Corn gave way with wheat. After open
ing unchanged to 1% lower, the market un
derwent a material setback.
Corn closed nervous, 2% to 2%c net
lower.
Oats started unchanged to %c lower.
Lower quotations on hogs and cereals

ment’s intention to issue a warning
to Greece against the return of for
mer King Constantine. The debate
was not finished, and was adjourned
until Thursday, and it is understood
that the premier will not go to Lon
don until a settlement Is reached
respecting France’s representation at
the Vatican.
M. Leygues, in asking’ for a post
ponement of further interpellations
so that he might be free to act, said;
“France does not wish to inter
vene in Greece’s foreign affairs, but,
after a war which imperilled civili
zation, if a power puts at its head
a sovereign who showed marked and
constant hostility toxyard the allies
and had been the accomplice of our
enemies, that power ought to be
warned that she can no longer have
our co-operation nor expect the
same feeling from us as formerly.
“Further than that, the treaties
give us the right as a protecting
power to proffer well founded ad
vice upon the gravity of an • act
which might give Germany occasion
to intervene directly or indirectly
in Oriental affairs.
The premier said he wished to
consider a definite course in the
matter in complete accord with
Great Britain.
Britain Threatens Greece
Great Britain has already taken
steps to inform former King Con
stantine of Greece and George
Phallis, the new Greek premier,
that she is absolutely apposed to the
return of Constantine to the Greek
throne, says the Petit-Parisien. She
has notified them clearly that if the
Greek government does not take cog
nizance of her stand, Greece cannot
hope to retain the territorial advant
ages given her in the treaty between
the allies and Turkey, the newspaper
asserts.

F. Rhodes Disher, Fellow of the
Royal Geographical society, have de
cided to spend the rest of their lives
on a tropical island, away from ex

Massachusetts Tech Inspires
Georgians to Lay Plans for
Greater Georgia Tech Drive
BY JOHLT PASCIEALr.
(Managing Editor of The Journal.)
NEW YORK. Nov. 23.—The mem
bers of the Greater Georgia Tech in
dustrial special woke up Tuesday in
the biggest city in the world. Hav
ing seen the biggest soap factory,
the biggest producers of electric ma
chinery and the biggest technical
schools in the world, nothing short of
New York City could hold any inter
est for this party of seekers after
information.
While, we do not expect traffic to
be seriously disarranged by our tour
of this town, we have become accus
tomed to creating quite a stir
wherever we have been, and nothing
short of front-page position in the
newspapers and milk-fed chickens
will make us believe that New York
is any bigger than Cincinnati, Pitts
burg, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Boston
or Cambridge. A glance at the pro
gram mapped out for the day leaves
the Georgia party in a happy frame
of mind, confident that old Gotham
i§ not lacking in appreciation of the
importance of the Georgia Tech In
dustrial tour.
Arriving at 7:30 o’clock the tour
ists breakfasted at the Pennsylvania
hotel and were given a cordial wel
come by a committee of citizens. An
automobile trip down Fifth avenue
to the city hall and an official wel
come by Mayor Hylan were were
next on the program. Then came a
visit to the Brooklyn navy yard, and
a peep at the new battleship Tennes
see, luncheon at the Biltmore hotel
as the guests of the New York Mer
chants’ association, a reception at
the Engineering Society building
and the annual banquet of the Geor
gia society of New York were to fill
out the day’s engagements.
As a result so the thoughtfulness
of the Fourth National bank, of At
lanta, the Tech party partook of the
courtesies of the tower
as guests of the Irving National
bank, of New York, which has its
offices in the tower. Governor Dor
sex’ received a telegram Saturday
from Charles I. Ryan, vice president
of the Fourth National bank, invit
ing the entire Georgia party to in
spect the tallest building in the
world, and the tourists expressed
their pleasure at the compliment.
Leaving at midnight for Washing
ton the Georgians will spend half a
day and return home in time for
the Thanksgiving game between
Tech and Auburn.
Vision of Tech Tomorrow
The objective of this tour was
reached Monday when the Georgians
arrived at the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology, for it was to
see this great school and to inspect
its wonderful plant that the tour
was planned and carried out. The
reason is easy to comprehend. Geor
gia Tech was established after a
visit to this wonderful school by
men of vision many years ago. That
the business men of the state might
visualize the possibilities of Georgia
Tech, that they might appreciate its
value to the industrial development
of the -state, that they might see
hoxv this institution is a vital neces
sity to their own prosperity, Dr.
Matheson brought 127 leaders to the
city of Cambridge, a city with an
educational investment of $100,000,-
000.
That Dr. Matheson had a real
vision and a real inspiration when
he organized the tour was demon
strated at the Massachuetts Institute
of Technology on Monday, when xvith
enthusiastic unanimity the members
of the tour pledged their whole
hearted assistance to Georgia Tech
in an educational campaign that is
destined to bring about an industrial
revolution in the empire state. Geor
gians have seen xvhat technical
schools have done for the develop
ment of the north and east, and they
will never be content until they have
converted the people of Georgia in
a great industrial revival.
Committee Named
It was unanimously voted Monday
to perfect an organization that would
crystallize the results of this tour and
utilize them for a greater Tech and
a greater industrial Georgia. A com
mittee of twenty-five representative
members of the tour from every sec
tion of the state was named and it
will be this committee’s duty to
realize the hopes that have been
justly aroused by this remarkable
trip.
Members of the committee are:
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, ex-officio;
B. Mifflin Hood, Atlanta; Benjamin
L. Bugg’, Atlanta; Hugh Richardson,
Atlanta; J. M. Smith, Augusta; S.
T. Wright, Waycross; J. B. Abrams,
Brunswick; Porter Pierpont, Savan
nah; Joseph W. Gith, Reidsville; J.
A. Mandeville, Carrollton; J. B. Key,

That Georgia is already awake;
that it is ready for the gospel of in
dustrial salvation, was made evident
by the announcement that already
over fifty organizations in various
parts of' the state have requested
speakers from among the men on
this tor’- to tell what they have seen
and how Georgia can profit by the.
knowledge gathered. Wickes Wam
bolt, who is directing the greatei’
Tech campaign and who worked out
the details of this trip with consum
mate skill, had no trouble In ar
ranging for the speakers. In fact,
it became evident that nearly every
one of the 127 business men were
ready to talk for Tech. Men who
have not been accustomed to public
speaking have been so stirred over
what thev have seen that they al
ready feel the oratorical impulse.
Georgians are hereby put on notice
that an industrial revival is about
to be held in every city and hamlet
of the state, and they might as well
prepare to hear the gospel.
Mr. Wambolt called for testimony
at the luncheon at Massachusetts
Tech Monday and the industrial sin
ners flocked to the mourners’ bench.
They had been converted to the cause
of technical education and they an
nounced themselves ready to go out
and tell the world about it. Before
Christmas every Rotary club, every
Kiwaiiis club, every Civitan club and
every board of trade and other busi
ness organization in Georgia xvill
have heard the message of industrial
salvation. It is a message of optim
ism, of business opportunity, of in
dustrial prosperity. It is. a call to
Georgians to claim the riches that
nature has throxxm in their path and
to put Georgia on the map as a great
manufacturing state.
Governor Coolidge Strikes Keynote
The meeting at Massachusetts
Tech was the climax of the tour so
far as its real purpose and signifi
cance are concerned. The day was
too cold and raw and wet, and noth
ing but a great idea could have
stirred the enthusiasm of the visi
tors. But the cordial welcome of the
officials of the Massachusetts Tech
and of Governor Coolidge, the vice
president-elect, warmed up the Geor
gians and prepared them for Dr.
Matheson’s message. It was a mat
ter of special rejoicing that Dr.
Matheson could be present and ex
plain to the members of the party his
hopes in connection xvith the trip,
and the response that was made
was a tribute to the able president
of Tech as to his plans for a greatei
Tech. Vice President-elect Coolidge
was particularly happy in his re
marks. He declared that the visit of
the Georgians showed how the na
tion must act and develop as a unit.
“You come here to learn of indus
try,” he said, “and we should send
our citizens to your state to learn
of agriculture. Massachusetts has
the intelligence, skill, and training
to take raxv material from Georgia
and from other states of the nation
and convert this raw material into
manufactured p’oducts. The Mass.-
cliusetts Institute of Technology ami

FRIENDSHIP ENDS
IN SHOOTING OF
TWO WOMEN
FULTON, Mo.—“ They were good
friends; too good, in fact.”
This strange explanation of the
strangest tragedy that has horrified
Missouri in many years, might well
be the epitaph above the graves in
xvhich two women, slayer and slain,
were buried here.
It was given by the mother of one
of them; and it is the only answer,
apparently, to the bewildering ques
tion; “Why—why—WHY’—did Car
olyn Weant, pretty stenographer,
kill her dearest chum, Mrs. Ada Mc-
Gowan, and then turn her weapon
upon herself?” -
Only Answer Jury Has Furnished
■ It is the ansxver in xvhich the cor
oner’s jury, after searching vainly
for any of the usual murder motives,
has had to fall back. One of those
intense, abnormal, consuming, un
natural friendships that occasionally
grow up between women had flamed
into an insane passion of jealosy,
and the girl who could not bear to
share her friend with anyone in life,
had taken her with her in death.
Carolyn was 29 years old. Ada
McGowan was 44, and the wife of
Mason McGowan, keener of a pool
hall in Fulton. The two women had
been friends for ten years. About
a year ago, Carolyn went to live at
the McGowan home. Soon she and
Mrs. McGowan became roommates,
while the husband took a room
downstairs.
They were together every waking
hour when their work permitted.
They drove together in McGoxvan’s
car. If one went shopping with an
other woman, there was a quarrel.
Then H>ere xvas a reconciliation, and
the relation grew still stronger and
more morbid.
Mrs. McGoxvan’s family grexv un
easy, according to her mother, Mrs.
Mattie Acison, who lived with
them.
Couldn’t Moderate Friendship or
Quarrels!
They tried to stop the quarrels,
but in vain. They tried to moderate
the violence of the friendship, but
with even less success. Finally they
told Carolyn she had better find
another boarding place. She agreed
and packed her belongings.
The last night that the two
friends spent together was one long
quarrel. In the morning there was
vilence as they dressed together for
the last time.
Then there was a shot. Then a
scream. Then another shot and an
other; and then a heavy fall.
When the sheriff opened the
locked door, the two women xvere
dead. At Carolyn’s feet was her
revolver. Ada was crumpled in the
corner of a closet, as if trying to
escape her fate.
In Carolyn’s box they found a let
ter, written two or three days be
fore. “I am doing this act because
of trouble I have had with Ada,” it
read, “as there is nothing else to
live for after confiding in her and
trusting her as the dearest friend
next to God himself.”
Thei’e Was No “Man in the Case”
Unable to understand, at first,
the incredible situation, the police
looked for the supposedly inevitable
“man in the case.”
There was none.
“No man was involved,” said Mrs.
Acison. “Miss Weant had few men
callers and none of them came reg
ularly. She was simply jealous of
my daughter’s attentions to other
women. She did not want my daugh
ter to have any other friend but
herself.”
Coon Is Very Crafty
In Getting Chickens
BY JOHN EHECK
THIS is about chapter four of
a continued story, entitled
“Bert’s Vendetta With the
Wily Coon.” It opened with
these words. “I don’t mind him
tasting a bit of corn, to fatten
him, like, but when it comes
to chickens —those springers I
didn’t get into the coop yet—why,
he picks ’em right off the limlb
in that old soft maple where they're
perching. I’ll bet he’s got feathers
enough to stuff a pillow strewed
around back of those sumachs down
by the bridge. That’s how I came
to get on to him.”
Last night matters had reached
the point where he was saying,
“Those dratted chickens where
they’re perching now it’d take that
coon to reach ’em. ‘Long about dusk
I’m going to jounce ’em doxvn and
drive ’em in. Far as he goes, I'm
not a-going to run my feet off
after that feller. First cold snap
that comes along he’ll be right
where I can lay my hand on him.”
He meant it, too. His feet are
still on and I’ll bet he knows it.
You see, he took his gun along
when he went to the coop because,
“T’was dark as a pocket—just the
kind of a night for that old coon
to run in.” Now that he really
expected to do any hunting. He
“jounced” his chickens doxvn and
got all but two of them driven in
when the old hound set up his
yelping. Just out of curiosity, of
course. Bert went to see what he
was running. He xvent something
better than two miles, at a right
■smart speed, on a dark night, over
very rough going, and he got a
real nice skunk skin. He felt like
sitting down awhile by the time he
got home. Anyway, those two
chickens that were left out didn’t
amount to much —no need to trou
ble about them. He forgot he’d
left the chicken coop door standing
open.
Bert was right. It was just the
kind of a night for that coon to
be rambling, somewhat later in
the evening. He went into the coop
and came out again, without think
ing to close the door after him
either. He took a nice white pul
let, but he didn’t eat it behind the
sumachs. The hound found some of
it under a thorn bush this morn
ing.
“Just you wait,” says Bert. “As
soon as it’s froze up good and
hard I’ll get him. I knoxv just
about where he hangs out and he’s
got to come down and get one
more good drink before he settles
down to stiddy sleeping.”
I’m not betting either way. Bert
knows a heap more than I do about
coons, but this coon seems to know
his man. It’s going to be a battle
of xvits between them. Yet I hax’e
a suspicion that this account will
stand on Bert’s books xvhen he
starts the new year, still open.

SECOND CHANCE I
FOR OFFENDERS,
OFFICIAL’S THEORY i
BY FAY STEVENSON
(Copyright, 1920)
NEW YORK.—When a young girl
or a young boy goes wrong I believe i
in giving them another chance, even
if they are second offenders.
“When a man or a woman has
been proved ‘an old offender’ I be
lieve it is ‘in the blood,’ and six
months or six years behind the bars
will not cure th««n. To me they are
mentally deficient, and a home, a
well regulated institution where
they can learn some useful occupa
tion, is the only solution.”
Sitting in her law office at No. 51
Chambers street, clad in a chestnut
brown tailored suit, with the same
shade sport hat, Mrs. Pauline O.
Field, the only woman member of
the Criminal Bar association and
just recently elected president of
that organization, uttered this good
sense.
The Criminal Bar association was
organized about eight years ago by
Judge Rosalsky of General Sessions,
Mrs. Field has been a member only
two years and during that time has
obtained the consent of the board of
estimate to permit the association to
hold its meetings and to use perma
nently for relatives and friends of
prisoners rooms on the ground floor
of the Criminal Courts building
which are now known as the “law
yers’ rooms.”
Chosen Head
In appreciation of this service, as
well as for her capabilities, Mrs.
Field was unanimously chosen as the
head of the association. She will de
vote her entire term of office to up
lifting her status of the criminal
lawyer, upon whom there has been
the mere suggestion of an inclination
to put a slight as compared xvith
the lawyer who confines his work to
civil cases.
“Then you have known cases
where the young girl or young boy
has made good after a second of
fense,” I asked Mrs. Field, “and you
do not believe in branding youth?”
“Youth is not formed in charac
ter,” said Mrs. Field, “and so we
must give them several chances. I
have knoxvn young girls who have
been shoplifters, stolen money from
their employers and been arrested
for disorderly conduct many times
to finally turn out capable, splendid
women.
“I remember one case of a little
girl who had been wronged when in
her fourteenth year. At sixteen she
was brought into court, charged
with disorderly conduct. It was her
first offense, so we let her off. Six
months later she was brought in
again on the same charge. She was
sent axvay to a home, discharged in
due time, and several months later
again arrested on the same com
plaint.
“I had a long talk with this girl.
I tried to explain that she was not
branded with the letter ‘A’ and that
all life was open to her. New work
was found for her and today she is
a sensible, fine woman, xvith a bank
acount. She sends me postals every
week and frequently comes to see
me.
Boys Make Good
“This is also true with wayward
boys. I have known boys who
pawned their mothers’ watches, stole
from their employers and relatives
and at times seemed so hard that
no human heart could reach them,
to turn around just as if by magic
and take foremost places *n the
world.
“Usually I believe in some sort of
confinement, either a prison or, bet
ter still, a home, for mental defec
tives and for the ‘old offender,’ ”
continued Mrs. Field, “but it is al
ways well to investigate into the
motive of the petty offender. For
instance, I remember the case of an
old offender xvho had been in the
courts many times for petty thiev
ing. The last time I had his case
I found out that he had sold some
furniture which had only been in
trusted to him and did not belong
to him. I found out that he had
used the money for his family, and
not for his oxvn personal benefit,
therefore I obtained permission to
let him off upon an easy sentence.
His wife came to me and fairly
kissed the hem of mj skirts. The
man took heart and for five years
his life has been unstained. There
fore you see the criminal may be
judged sometimes by the motive of
his crime or misdemeanor.”
Mrs. Field has many such cases
to relate i and her constant thought
and summing up of each case makes
one realize why she was elected
president of the Criminal Bar asso-

Military Prisoner
Starts Hunger Strike
HAVANA, Nov. 23. —Horacio Blan
co Fombona, held a prisoner by the
AmeriCcin military authorities in
Santo Domingo, has started a hun
ger strike,- according to word re
ceived here. Fombona is a news
paper man and has gained consid
erable fame as a poet.
The decision of Fombona to re
fuse food is said to be not only in
protest against his detention, but
also against the class of food pro
vided him. which is alleged to con
sist of a ration of beans and po
tsitoe s.
Fombona is a member of a promi
nent Venezuelan family and a broth
er of Fufino Balco Fombona, a
widely known author. He has re
sided in Santo Domingo during the
last six years because of differences
with the present Venezuelan govern

Has First Illness
At Age 146 Years
CONSTANTINOPLE,. Turkey’s
146-year-old man, Zora Mehmed, re
puted to be the oldest man in the
world, is ill with indigestion. This
lis the first time Zora has ever been
ill. He complains that it is because
of a set of false teeth.
Zora has always been a carrier of
weights ranging from 200 to 1,000
pounds. When he was forty-five
years of age, that is, during the
Napoleonic xvars, he tried to lift 500
pounds with his teeth and ruined
them. He xvent along until 1850
without any teeth and then obtained
a set which has worn out. About
txx-enty years ago he got another set.
He claims these teeth have given him
indigestion.
“When I get a new set of teeth I
shall be all right again for another
half century,” he said. Zora has a
son aged ninety.
