how the twentieth century pirating Is

Hosh ! Too vivid imaginations and

have direct contact with seafaring life.
Wherever sailors gather, and wher
ever shipping is the topic, folk ore read

"Sure, I think it's a pirate boot,"
declared Joe, "and it probably turn n
crew of twenty-five or thirty, just
enough to manage tho number of men
to be found on a small schooner."
He became indignant when asked If
it worn an American bont with Ameri
cans as the crew.
"No. sirroo." he Insisted. "No
American crew there Yept maybe a
skunk or two who oughn't to be nn

McGlnty declared the boat, whether
submarine or sub chaser, could either
have been salvaged after sinking during
the war or might even have been built
quietly In some Inland town and
launcher! In some (pilot. rocKy spot
along tho const.
"That's where we should look for
them." he said: "in the rocks of bits
of cont like Maine, where there are few
towns and good handy povpk. '
"They may keep In toueh with the

fate of the 'sailors and ofRpers. lip de

had established a kind of station or
headquarters. To do this he insisted
they must hove a larger vessel, prob
cbly a captured sehooner, working with
the'r.ctunl piratp praft.
Others had different i lens than Me-
(tint. A veteran pilot at the rooms of I
the Pilots' Association, declared the'
nihtery of the disappearing ships was
not ho much of a niMei. after all.
"There maj hnc been n different
reason for each different case." he de
clared cannily. "For exnmple. mutiny,
fire, wreck nnd many others. The
Carol Deerlng. which wns found
beached with members of the crew

have had a mutiny aboard, and have
been deserted by all members of the
crew after days of bloodshed.
Housed by Unsolved Mystery
An officlnl In the ship Inspectors' of
fice, 1.14 South Second street, declared
that the Carol Deerlng case was n dis

all married, disappeared off tho face

in Public Morals
1921. "CRISIS OF THE AGES"
Ity.tho Associated Press
Pes Moines. June 22. The year 1021
marks a "crisis of the ages," Krncst
i. Tustln. president of the Northern
Haptlsl Convention. Director of Wel
fare of Philadelphia, declared today
in his opening address at the fourteenth
annual convention of Northern Baptists
In session In this city.
As evidence of such crisis he cited
tho "great extravagances In living" the
"deplorable lowering of morals In our
social life." the "moral degeneration
nnd let-down in the habits of our young
people," the "morals In our local poli
tics, perhnps lower than ever before,"
and the "nnn-churchgolng nnd non-re-llglnus
people, whose knowledge of the
sneraments Is chiefly confined to those
of marriage and of death."
"There is." he declared, "n clear,
distinct call throughout the land for the
unification of nil forces of Christianity
to consider the great questions con
fronting the political, buslnpss and re
ligious world."
I'nlquo Golden Jubilee.
The afternoon nnd evening sessions
were given over to tho impressive nnd
unique, golden jubilee anniversary of the
Woman's Amerienn Baptist Foreign
Mlrsiou Societ . in celebration of fifty
yenrs of successful work In foreign
jnnds.
A picturesque ubilee processional,
comprising women who had come from
eight foreign lands to attend the cele
bration, led n long procession of inlfl
slonnrlos nnd Northern Iloptlst women
Into the convention hendquarters.
Mr. Tustln welcomed the pro
cessional, speaking with high appre
ciation of the Woman's American Iiap
tlst Foreign Mission Society, which In
fifty years has grown from two mis
sionaries to 2fi7 missionaries, nnd
which today has 112 stations.
"Countless thousands of our people
nre running beyond their means, and
living without the economic carp nnd
saving of our forefatlKr-"." Mr. Tustln
said In bis opening address.
Cli'urcli Membership Decreasing
"There has come Into the minds of
the many a desire for equality of con
dition. In business lines, the whole ns
sumption seems to he get money : get
it honestly If possible; but get money.
In our local politics the morale is lower
perhnps today than ever before. In
nenrly every city of mir country the
word of the boss Is supreme."
As nn evidence of the lowering of our
social morals, Mr. Tustln cited the
"terrible Indictment" of young women,
contained in the mlvieo recently given
by nnorhcr denomination, which charged
them not to swear to giw up drinking.
3 lilt gambling, re'uilir fiom Immodest
rcss and slop joy. riding. He snid that
there was an "equal moral defenera
tion nnd let-down in the habits of our
young "men."
Thp marked drrreape In church mem
bership, he continued, while fraternal
nnd worldly organizations nre increas
ing in membership, Is due to the fart
that "the grent lack in the followers
of Christianity of the present day Is thnt
we do not ponoss the fervor, the heart
throbs, which characterized the Chris
tianity of a century ngo. We allow
worldly affairs to crowd out our devo
tion nnd loynlty to our religious life."

That You May Appreciate the
Adjusted Watch
H
HD
Ivcrtisinp: we have sought
J to educate the public in watch
- values. We have done this for
three reasons: First, that we be
lieve the purchaser of a watch is
entitled to some knowledge of
what he is buying. Second, that
the buyer of a watch should be
protected against inferior foreign
watches, sold nameless and un
sponsored by their foreign manu
facturers. Third, that we believe
Americans should be informed of
the mechanical superiority and
world-leadership of the Waltham
Watch.
We have, therefore, in a continu
ous series of advertisements, taken
the public into our confidence. We
have taken a great deal of the
"mystery" from the "works" of a
watch. We have fearlessly, and by
unanswerable comparison, shown
wherein the Waltham Watch is
entitled to the world-leadership it
enjoys.
We have, moreover, proved that
the majority of foreign -made
watches lack that mechanical ex
cellence which is pre-eminently
American, whether you find it in
a Liberty Motor or in a Waltham
Watch.
Americans are born mechanics.
The majority of American boys
know the secrets of wireless teleg
raphy; and the structure of an
automobile is common knowledge
with them. As a nation, we have a
"mind" for things that move.
And there arc no people in the
world so keen about fine time
keeping. We want watches that
vary but seconds in given periods
of time. The saying of a famous
Waltham master-mechanic, "A
thing is cither right or wrong,"
could well be our national slogan.
We want it right.
It is this appreciation by the
average citizen of accurate time
telling which gave Waltham the
incentive to develop and perfect
the adjusted watch.
It is a well-known law of nature
that all metals expand or contract
under the influence of heat or cold.
The hairspring of a watch controls
the function of the balance wheel,
and indirectly the time-telling abil
ity of the movement. And the hair
spring is extremely sensitive to
heat or cold.
To overcome this expansion or
contraction, the compensating bal
ance was invented. It is so con
structed that the same heat which
weakens the elastic force of the
hairspring serves, at the same
time, to reduce the diameter of the
balance. This property of auto
matic compensation is obtained
by Waltham in constructing the
balance wheel rim of two metals
having widely different ratios of
expansion.
These metals in the Waltham
balance wheel arc of specially
treated steel and brass, fused to
gether and hardened by a secret
I I
1 Mi Ism
eSSeS
13
1
in
m
18
process to produce the necessary
temper after fusing. In the making
of this standard Waltham balance
wheel there are thirteen master
stages, and about six hundred
detail operations.
In addition to this scientific method of
watch-building, the Waltham Adjusted
Watch must undergo two final tests for
position and temperature before it goes
into the world to perform its duty of
keeping time.
The five positional tests include timing,
for stated periods, face down, face up, and
in three different vertical positions. Then
the Waltham Adjusted Watch undergoes
its famous temperature tests.
Imagine a large, perfectly equipped re
frigerator plant in connection with watch
making! Yet, that is just what you see
at Waltham, and nc other watch-making
establishment in the world can boast one
like it.
The adjusted Waltham Watch goes on a
" temperature " journey around the world
before you buy it. For slated periods it is
kept running in extremes of temperature
at an average thermometer reading of 40,
66 and 92. The variation is then adjusted,
and the watch so timed that you can
carry it with you in confidence and pride,
as a dependable companion, anywhere in
the world. Yes, from the Tropics to the
Arctic Circle, if need be.
To own a Waltham Adjusted Watch is to
possess all that horological achievement
can give you in the art of telling the time.
No watch made, in all the world, has so
many exclusive advancements in its
' works " typical of American leadership
in mechanics as applied to watch-making.
There is no watch "just as good" as a
Waltham. Therefore, it will profit you to
insist upon this American masterpiece a3
your first and last choice, when you visit
your jewelers to buy a watch.
