METAL TEETH DEVISED FROM -II NRED ( A t I.K WOMB WELL. Eng. (UP'-False teeth made from an old motorcycle crank case are the crowning climax of a life of dental experimentation by Albert Orwin, road-worker living in the village of Jump, near here First Orwin tried his ingenuity on the knuckle bone of a leg of mutton but the bone yas not big enoungh. Then he tried using a billiard ball which, however, had the same defect, the diameter being only two and a half inches. Success came when he melted down the aluminum from the crank case of the old motorcycle. The melted aluminum was run into an "impression” which he had taken himself. Even so, this set is only for everyday use. On Sundays his smile reveals a "perfect” set made from the aluminum screw tops of old thermos flasks. The Answers Correct completions of the current events statements on page two are as follows: 1-B, 2-D, ,3-C. d-D, 5-A, 6-C. 7-C. 8-E, 9-A, 10-D. SEEKER OF “DIXIE BEI.I.E" BRIDE KILNS AEOI'I. THE LAW OAKLAND. Cal. (UP) Samuel Frank, who gained nation-wide notoriety over night, when he telegraphed Gov. James Allmd of Texas

to help him find a Dixie belle for a bride, has run afoul the law. In his appeal to Allied, Frank held out as an inducement that if the Dixie belle who met all his stipulations. could be found in time, he would marry her in a public cere- j mony at the Texas centennial. Allred played the part of Cupid by broadcasting the appeal to news- ; papers all over the country, and until the moment of arrest, Frank as- 1 serted he had received l.i.OOO letters of proposal. They filled four suitcases and two 40-pound cardboard

cartons.

The requirements which Frank set for his Dixie bride were almost as numerous and complicated as the enticements which he held nut on his own behalf. He admitted that he was old-fash- ' ioned. He professed to have been a member of the Denver city council, an athletic director in a Denver high school, a Baptist minister at Fort Worth and Denver, and said he was 6 feet tall and weighed 174 pounds. , Frank was also frank as regirds his qualifications that might not be considered enticements. “My worst habit is smoking a corncob pipe, but I don't want a wife who smokes or drinks,” he stipulated. To offset the corncob pipe, however. he announced in his appeal that!

questions like these: Was she single, divorced, or a widow? If divorced, was her divorce a Biblical one? What church did she belong to? Did she “dip” snuff? Did she believe in baptism by immersion ? Did she drink or participate in wild parties? He also wanted to know what sort of disposition the prospect' had, if she danced, what sort of amusement she liked, and whether she objected to marrying a widower with two children (professing to have two himself). He also asked for details on the amount of rouge and lipstick she used, and finally requested a picture. During the period that Frank was receiving hundred upon hundreds of replies from prospects all over the country, he took the public a little into his confidence about some of the details. Nearly all of the Dixie belles, for whom he expressed a preference in his appeal to Allred, showed enough of real southern chivalry to enclose postage stamps for a reply, he said. The California prospects were notably shy, however in prepaying postage. However, among the l'i.000 who
