Yonkcrs, N. Y.. May 27. Daddy
McCollom, who went to the front
for the Y. M. C. A., is back with a
90 horsepower set of teeth. He
simply smiles at leathern streaks
and says with his dental equipment
he could chew up Germans as eas
ily as he could bite through cheese.
McCollom made himself a motor
cycle from salvaged parts and start
ed for Colblenz from Chaumont
400 miles. From time to time var
ious parts of his machine sighed
and gave up the ghost and he al-.
most constantly added new parts,
until, when he reached Coblenz the
motorcycle had grown into a full
fledged limousine. But, meantime, it
had rattled out his teeth. A dent
ist said he could fix him up if he
only had some aluminum for a plate.
So, McCollom pried off some alumi
num from his gear case and a 90
horsepower set of teeth was made
in Germany for him. Westchester
county butchers cannot frighten him
with tough steaks. He "treats 'em
rough."
