to get one that would run while he had

brothers watch only little while be-

silver watches acted the same way with
him but the old English watch he was
carrying had a double inside case to it
and worked fairly we'll. I've never
been able to tell whether the average
watch will run faster when it is in it's
owners possession or not. There
seems to be no rule on the subject. but
l can never regulate a watch on nv

time. Then there is a variation with

dries and the bearings are harder, but
