TIME EXPERT OF READING R.R.
GIVES RULES FOR THE CARE
OF WATCHES.
Superintendent of Time Service Tells
of Part Timepieces Play ix Mod-
ern Life.
“To most people a watch is just a
watch,” says Alexander Mueller, su-
perintendent of time service of the
Reading Company. “They know little
of its development and improvement
during the last half century. In a
general way they know it must be
wound up; that it has a main spring
and a hair spring; by some method re-
lated to a lot of wheels—and concep-
tion they call the ‘works.’
“The part taken by the modern
watch or clock in the harmonious
working of the great and intricate
machinery of modern civilization is
not fully understood or appreciated.
If milions of time pieces in the pock-
ets of busy men and women, and on
the walls of their homes and offices
were suddenly and permanently to
stop, a demoralization would result
that could not be obtained from the
removal of any other device of mod-
ern civilization—disorder and chaos
would reign supreme.
DISTINCTLY AMERICAN.
“The modern locomotive and the
modern watch are both distinctly
American. Practically, they have been
developing within the same period of
time—and within the life span of peo-
ple now living. The mechanism of
the one, inducing high speed, has de-
manded of the mechanism of the oth-
er, safety through an exact indication
of time. That the watchmaker’s ef-
forts have kept pace with the advance-
ment of the locomotive is evidenced
by the simple statement that railway
travel is safer than ordinary voca-
tions of life. As greater speed and
safety have been added to the loco-
motive achievements by accepted me-
chanical devices, more weight, an en-
larged firebox and a broadened and
lengthened boiler, the American watch
factories have produced a stronger
and more exact watch to accompany
it.
17,500 REVOLUTIONS PER HOUR.
“If the engineer had forgotten to
oil his locomotive and the express
train you were traveling on should
stop for half an hour, that an over-
heated journal bearing might be re-
newed, you might feel like suing
someone for damages. The driving
wheels of the class G-1 locomotive
makes 17,500 revolutions an hour, and
$0 on an average, are oiled after three
or four hours of service—the balance
whezl of a watch makes 18,000 revo-
lutions an hour, yet when the watch-
maker mildly suggests that your
pocket timepiece should be cleaned
and oiled after running a year or
about 9,000 hours, you call him a legit-
amatized pirate and classify him with
‘Jesse James’... A modern watch move-
ment is composed of 150 distinct parts
and correct timekeeping depends up-
on the unity of action of 311 these
parts.
“As gravitation keeps the great ma-
chinery of the universe in _harmon-
ious working order, without variation,
from sunrise to sunset, so the ingen-
ious device of man—the watch and
clock—keeps the great business and
social systems’ of the civilized world
in one moving unit of order.”
GOOD SUGGESTIONS.
Mr. Mueller offers the following
timely suggestions on the care of your
watch:
Remember to wind the watch up
full at least once in every 26 hours.
Thus only will the mainspring receive
its fullest power.
Always keep the watch in the same
position when not in use, as when it
is carried. If you carry your watch
in the vest pocket, allow it to remain
there when you retire, hanging the
vest on a clothes pole or back of a
chair.
Expecting your watch to give a
close rate if hung on hook or nail is
erroneous. This causes the watch to os-
cillate slightly, thereby giving balance
wheel a contrary motion.
Don’t expect a seven jewel unad-
justed movement to last as long or
run as accurately as a fell-jeweled ad-
justed standard watch.
Never carry watch in pocket of an
unbuttoned coat or jumper. It should
be carried in close fitting pocket close
to the body.
If your watch is not keeping time
do not attempt to regulate it your-
self, but call on a man competent in
the business. A watch is not always
regulated by means of the regulator.
Give your watch to a competent
watch repairer to oil and overhaul at
least once in every 18 months. After
that period all oil has practically
evaporated.
.. Realize that you must treat your
‘wateh right. It is the most service-
able machine ever invented, but don’t
forget that it is governed by natural
aws::

Outdoor Good Manners.
The great mass of cultivated and
common sense Americans are proba-
bly as free as any people in the world
from the kind of caste feeling that
springs from birth or money. One
test, however, they do apply to those
who would share their friendship and
have a place in their social life—the
test of manners.
No one needs a manual of etiquette
to teach him what ordinary good man-
ners are. We learn almost automat-
ically, by contact with one another
and with the world. A gentleman
does not carry away books or an um-
brella from a house in which he is a
guest or leave banana skins and
orange peel on the sideboard. A lady
does not help herself to a handker-
chief from her hostess’ dressing ta-
ble, or carry away pieces of bric-a-
brac, or cut slips from the potted
plants. Indoor manners are a matter
of course to everyone who makes any
pretense to good breeding.
But outdoor manners are another
story. There are campers who think
nothing of littering nature’s hearth-
stone with greasy papers, egg shells
and melon rinds and her sideboard
with empty bottles and discarded
luncheon boxes. They plunder her
gardens of the arbutus, the dogwood,
the holly, the laurel and the black
alder. Worst of all, too many of them
through carelessness with matches
and fires destroy her very domicile
and leave the hospitable roof that
sheltered them a blackened and smoui-
dering ruin.
Three hostesses there are who en-
tertain more guests than any others,
and entertain them more gracefully,
because they do it so simply and with-
out display. They are the nation, the
state and the community, all of which
maintain parks for the health and
recreation of their people. With
them should be classed, too the own-
ers of private woodlands who hold
them open to the public. To abuse
that hospitality by leaving dirty
camping places, unextinguished fires
and a trail of broken and despoiled
wayside gardens is to forfeit the
society of the well-bred and choose
the companionship of boors.
Against those who so choose a tide
of public indignation is rising, and
through such channels as the Conser-
vation Division of the General Fed-
eration of Women’s Clubs, the Na-
tional Bureau of Education, the Boy
Scout and the Parent Teachers’ Asso-
ciations is preparing to exert its 4n-
fluence to create a code of manners
that shall respect outdoor no less than
inloor hospitality.—Reformatory Rec-
ord.
Foreign Pilots Enter Altoona Races.
Paris, France, and Melbourne, Aus-
tralia, are eagerly awaiting the out-
come of the motorcycle races in Al-
toona July 5th.
Both have representatives in the
races and both therefore are following
the events as all foreign cities do
when an international complexion is
given to competitive American ath-
letics.
Spencer Stratton will be the Austral-
ian representative. He comes from
Melbourne, and he holds all track ree-
ords, both speedway and dirt, for his
own country. :
“Frenchie” Depollier will be the
Parisian representative. He does not
come with a long string of victories
mainly because he has been riding
foreign equipment. But he proposes
using American equipment in the
July 5th races and may as a conse-
quence return to his own country bet-
ter known to the sport followers.
Stratton, too, expects to ride Amer-
ican mounts. He is at present in
Springfield, Mass., where he is learn-
ing all that can be learned in a short
stretch of time about his Indian
mounts; and he hopes to add some
American records to his Australian
ones before returning to his native
continent.
Both Stratton and Depollier plan
reaching Altoona sometime this week
in order to have ample time to try out
their mounts on what to them is a
new type of speedway.
This marks the first time in com-
petitive American motorcycle events
that foreign riders have been entered.
Stratton, however, is now the Aus-
tralian champion, and his work of
course will be watched with interest.
Forest Service Will Round Up Wild
Horses.
Bozeman, Mont.—Last year. the for-
est service initiated the plan of round-
ing up and disposing of all wild horses
within the confines of the national for-
est and plans to continue the drive
this year.
In 1925 there were 300 head cap-
tured in the Gallatin national forest
alone, and it is estimated that there
are 500 of these useless animals still
within this forest range. Throughout
the national forest of the State there
are thousands more.
Some of these animals were at one
time domesticated. They were turned
out to forage for themselves and those
of the least value were not rounded
up. In time many of them became
wild and the ones that survived the
winters and predatory animals bred
with other bands and thus herds were
formed.
First Fourth Was Solemn.
The first set celebration of the na-
tion’s birthday was imbued with a
joyous solemnity. It was only one
year after the momentous declaration
that chronicled the coming to life of
the greatest nation on the earth. The
glorious destiny of the infant repub-
lic was veiled in uncertainty. Both
present and future seemed dark and
threatening. Our valiant forefathers
hoped and dared, resolved to cast off
the fetters of tyranny or die in the at-
tempt, but the struggle was still be-
fore them and its outcome shrouded
in obscurity, Therefore it was mect
and right that this first national cele-
bration of the fateful Declaration of
Independence should partake of a
solemn and religious as well as joy-
ous character.—Helen Harcourt in
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
FARM NOTES.
—Clover hay makes an ideal rough-
age for pregnant sows.
—Hogs following cattle in the feed-
ing lot are generally handled at a
profit.
—To preserve a good lawn, mow it
once a week with the knives of the
machine set high.
—Nothing is more important to
successful hog raising than clean, dry
quarters for the breeding herd.
—Dairy farming conserves fertil-
ity as about three-fourths of the fer-
tilizing elements found in a dairy
cow’s feed are voided in the solid and
liquid manure.
—On short pastures the dairy cow
does not get enough feed for both
maintenance and milk production.
Grain must be fed in addition to keep
up the milk flow.
—When spreading manure or other
fertilizer around orchard trees, apply
it evenly to an area about twice the
spread of the branches, which is the
feeding of the tree.
Two or three pounds of corn silage
a day makes a good addition to the
legume hay for nursing or pregnant
ewes. An all-silage ration is poor
stuff. Timothy hay is not recom-
mended for sheep.
—Choose a cloudy day, when possi-
ble, for cutting the lawn. When the
sun. is not shining the grass yields
more easily to the mower knives. At
the same time, it can be cut closely
without scorching.
—Charcoal for hogs is one of the
essentials in the feed lot, and one of
the most neglected. Hogs that are
off their feed can usually be brought
into condition quickly, with a few
chunks of charcoal.
—Thrifty strawberry plants, well
cared for now, will develop into a full
row of runner plants by fall, and the
size of the crop next spring will be
governed largely by the stand of
plants secured this year.
—Keeping the poultry house cool
in summer is a problem with many
poultrymen. This is just as import-
ant as keeping it warm in winter.
The poultry house recommended by
the Pennsylvania State College spec-
ialists provides for plenty of ventila-
tion with practically no draughts.
—Blue ointment mixed with an
equal part of vaseline or lard will get
rid of lice on chickens if an amount
about the size of a pea is rubbed into
the feathers just below the vent, poul-
try specialists of the Pennsylvania
State College say. It is important
that hens be rid of lice if good records
are to be made.
—Experiments at South Dakota
State college have shown that lambs
do a good job of picking when turn-
ed loose in the cornfield. They will
not only pick the silks of ears, leaves
of corn and shucks on the ear, the
parts of the corn plant usually wast-
ed, but they will also find and eat
weeds for variety.
—This is the proper time of the
year for all shepherds to dip their
flocks for ticks or lice. The. greatest
infestation of ticks in years has been
experienced in Pennsylvania this
spring.
means the feeding of high-priced
grain to ticks.
stock dips used according to directions
will do the trick.
—=Soil must be much richer for suc-
cessful gardening than for general
farming. Liberal application of ma-
nure therefore will be beneficial.
Stable manure should be applied
broadcast at the rate of 40 tons an
acre. When the garden is plowed in
the fall the manure is more nearly in-
corporated in the soil, the land can be
worked earlier in the spring, the
plowing is done and operations may
start just as soon as spring opens.
The manure adds plant food and or-
ganic matter to the soil and thus im-
proves both its chemical and mechan-
ical condition.
When manure is not available, or- ||
ganic matter may be added to the soil |!
by growing and turning under a cover
crop. When legumes are used for
this, nitrogen also is added to the soil.
If the ground is poor, commercial fer-
tilizer may be applied just after work-
ing the soil next spring.

er worms that do so much damage to
the leaves of these plants come fron

in Fort Wayne, Ind., to build a model
highway from Limberlost cabin, on
Sylva lake, to Luberlost cabin, near
Lake Geneva, as a memorial to Mrs.
Gene Stratton-Porter.

ed by spraying or dusting with any
arsenical poison (arsenate of lime one
ounce “to twe gallons of water), or
pyrethrum powder may be dusted on
the plants. Tt is difficult to get the
spray to stick to the smooth glossy
foliage of any of the cabbage family,
but the spray may be greatly improv-
ed by adding one-half ounce of soap
to each two gallons of the arsenical
spray. Dusting early in the morning
or after a rain with pyrethrum pow-
der or any of the arsenical poisons is
very satisfactory. A useful home-
made duster is a cheesecloth bag or
sack or one made from any other thin, |
strong material, and then by going
over the plants using a stick to beat
the dust from the bag a very satis-
factory job can be done.
—The farm horse population of
Pennsylvania has decreased consider-
ably during the past few decades in
the face of continued industrial ex-
pansion. Tabulations just completed
from the triennial farm census re-
turns show 397,349 horses and 51,
988 mules on the farms of the State.
This is a decrease in both horses and ||
mules since the 1920 Federal census.
In 1900, there were 589,754 horses in
the State. Taking the United States
as a whole, the number of horses has
decreased from 19,767,000 in 1920 to
17,589,000 in 1924.
Statistics show that but seven per
cent of the horses on Pennsylvania
farms are under four years of age,
41 per cent. from four to nine years
old, and 52 per cent. ten years old or
over. Officials of the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture see an opportun-
ity in this present situation especially
for farmers who have no convenient
market for their roughage and can
breed horses of the right type.
