Mrs. Helen Gray was unablo to
open or cloao hor mouth without re
moving her bow store teoth, sho told
Justice Hoffman In tho Yorkvllle mu
nicipal court during tho trlnl of her
suit for $50 against Doctor Sollm
Worster, a dontlst.
"Do you mean to say that you kept
your mouth shut for a week and
didn't talkr asked tho court.
"I didn't kcop tho teeth In all the
time," responded Jdra. dray, who Is
past middle ago.
"I didn't think thero was anything
that would closo a woman's mouth for
that length of time," remarkod the
Justice.
Tho plaintiff Bald she didn't mean
to say that sho wont a wholo week
without talking. What sho did moan
was that for spells sho couldn't talk,
as tho store teeth acted like a gag
and interfered with articulation. She
explained that last July sho called on
Worster to boo about substitutes for
her mlBslng front teoth, and that the
dentist agreed to supply her with the
required articles for $50.

Ho altcrod them, but still they

"You talk very well now, madamo,"
tho court remarked.
"Oh, I gave tho teeth back," said
the plaintiff. "I tried 'em until my

The police and tho Janitor went to

Rapidly Drawing Near Comple
tion Ribs Constructed of
New Metal.
London. The new airship for tho
British navy Is rapidly nearlng com
pletion at the works of Vlckors, Sons
& Maxlmt at Barrow-ln-Furnoss. It
will bo tho largest, one of tho fastest
and the most powerful airship in tho
world. Its great gas-containing body,
built up rigidly with a new metal
which Is far stronger and only a trlflo
heavier than aluminum, will bo 500
feat long nnd 50 feet in diameter, rb
against tho 446 feet in length of tho
monster Zeppelin typo of airships.
The garage, which faces tho sea, Is
600 feet long and 100 feet broad.
Gangs of men are now busy con
structing a great "cradle." Upon this
tho airship will rest as It Is pieced to
gether. Practically every part of the
airship is now ready, and only awaits
tho assembling process. Tho plan haB
been to distribute tho making of tho
various section over nil departments
of Messrs. Vlckers, Sons & Maxim's
works. By this moans it has been
possible to preservo great secrecy con
cerning all important details of con
struction. Work is also nbout to commence
upon a special launchway from which
tho airship will tako flight. Its trials
will bo carried out over tho Bea. It Is
designed, In fact, for sea scouting. Tho
airship's permanent quarters will bo
on tho northeast coast, and It will bo
called upon to cruise for days at a
stretch along the coast lino and out to
sea. With this work In view, rolla-
blllty In stormy weather haB been one
of tho chief alms in tho airship's con
struction. Tho method of fitting together tho
pectlons of tho airship's tremendous
hull Is particularly Interesting. As

periment Threefold.
London. Australia Is determined at
last to make an effort to capturo from
America some of tho meat trado wth
England. Thero Is at presont only
ono ship, and thnt a "wind Jammer,"
engaged In the trade. This ship, tho
Marathon, has Just completed hor sec
ond voyago with a consignment of
chilled meat from Australia, but the
arrival on this occasion Is much more
jiotablo than on previous occasions,
for tho reason that whereas tho first
voyago occupied 62 days, tho present
trip has taken 67 days, tho vessel
having been dolayod owing to tho
Australian coal strike. To land beef
In England In perfect condition after
a voyage of nearly ton weeks Is con
sidered something of nn achievement,
and it is likely to innugurnto a new
Bchome for tho supply of Britain with
empire grown beef and at tho same
tlmo help tho Australian meat ox
porters, It is pointed out that tho impor
tance of the experiment Is threefold.
It will glvo Great Britain n now
Bourco of fresh meat supply, and so
bring her less under tho control of
tho frozen moat trust; It will permit
Australia to compete for tho chilled
beef trade with Great Britain, up to
tho present monopolized by the
United States, and Argentlno, nnd It
will glvo tho Australian ment com
panies, who havo beon sending tholr
meat shipments to England In a fro
zen stato, a largo margin of profit,
because thero Is a dlfferenco in value
botweon chilled and frozon meat In
London of about two cents a pound.
At present the American companies
havo practically a monopoly of tho
meat supplies at Smlthfleld market,
London, and have been making of lato
a bold bid to dominate both entirely.
