The silk Petticoat.

The crusade against the dust laden
silk petticoat on the street increases
daily. 1t is good idea and one that
has been adopted by some excellent
dressers to build sheath top of satin
or of soft thick taffeta for the upper
part of our street petticoat and to this
have ready to button ON one of several
sets of deep founces of lawn and lace,
the color of the satin-blue, coral, green,
violet thoroughly wash materials they
are, so that they can be freshened as
often as is necessary for daintiness

simply circular with a narrow plait-

The Return Ride.

Every mile ridden out means mile
to be ridden back. and this fact often
escapes wheelmen, who keep on the
outward journey until they commence
to feel tired. The miles coming home
under these conditions seem inter
minable and result in taking all the
pleasure out Of the trip. The condi-
tions are exaggerated when the wind
is blowing on the back going out, for
1t is so enjoyable sensation that o
rider dislikes TO forsake 1t, and when
he returns In the opposite Sdirection
has all the worse trip on account
OF the wind which but short time
before was causing him SO much ex.
ultation.

wire The date of the construction
1S21-was printed across the top in
letters of fire-in other words, burned
in, as were also the hours. At the top
ana in the center is the figure Of the
sun thing of glory, with a mans
smiling face and rays jutting from all
sides From the nose of the sun the
steel wire was run, coming to a point
and then fastening directly below the
sun. The sun was then put to work
and the hour markings were defined.
OF course, the II noon hour was where
the wire ended at the bottom of the
board. On the east side-from the top
the hours ran down in the following
order u, I, s, 8, 10. Eleven was on the
bottom of the board, between 10 in the
corner and II in the center. on the
west side of the dial running down the
side, were placed 6, 3, 4, s. =, and 1
was on the lower edge, occupying pO-
sition on the west which II did on the
east. 1t will be seen that there were
two skies. 1t was the beginning and
ending of the day. Other markings
until the sun went down could be reck-
oned on the wall very readily.
Though the storms of seventy-eight
years have beat against the dial, 1t has
not begun to show the wear. The fig
ures are as distinct as though they
were placed there yesterday. The col
ony passed, another one took its place
and passed and New Harmony became
an ordinary town. Generations have
passed and babies have grown old and
died, but still the old clock knocks off
the hours just as reliably as it did in
1921, when 1t was put into place. The
old building is now occupied by mer
chant who has shown good business
judgment by utilizing the surrounding
space on the walls by signs setting
forth his line of wares.
Sundals are curiosties now. Proba-
bly, less than one person under 80 years
out of every 1000 population ever saw
one. Still it has been but a short time
since the sun dial regulated affairs, and
though watches were used they took
their time from the dial. Up to 1869
there was no uniform time. In that
year Professor Charles +. Dowd first
took active measures for establishing
a standard time. He sought the rail-
road managers as The persons best
adapted to bring such plan into gen.
eral service. In that year in this coun-
try alone there were about seventy
five different standards-all of them on
the sun basis.

SUN DIAL ERECTED 10
YEARS AGO.
Only Town Clock of the Kind in the
Mississippi Valley How the stand
ard fine of To-day Came to BE
Adopted.

New Harmony, Ind, Is probably the
one town in the Mississippi valley that
has a sun dial town clock. 1t is proba-
bly, the Oldest and most reliable time
piece in the country. 1t has been turn
ing off the minutes and hours and days
since 1921 without over 30 cents re-
pair. Ii never runs down, never goes
on strike and as long as the sun does
business 1t is reliable. To-day 1t is
something more than timepiccc-it is
a curiosity. 1t is historical-p probably
having an edge over any other time
piece in Indiana in this respect. New
Harmony was a colony settlement The
building on which the dial Is placed
was built by the colonists and was
used by them as a barracks. 1t was
erected in 1914. There were no rail
roads in those days and as everything
was local there was no need of any
thing but sun time. The whole world
ran on the same schedule then. For
several years the colony operated by a
number of sun dals and hour glasses,
but this became unsatisfactory and at
last George Rapp, the leader, conceived
the idea of having a town clock.
First of 1t. Kind.
He was probably the first to endow
any Indiana town with such an ad-
junct. He went to the forest and cut
the SoliJest black walnut tree he could
find. He finished it down to siX-foot
lengths and made facing GX4 feet. A
strip was nailed across the top to throw
off the rain. He then had the colony

The controversy over the boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana has
been waged for years. 1t brought the
United States and Great Britain to the
verge of war in 1895, when President
Cleveland sent his famous message to
Congress declaring that this country
would not permit Great Britain to deter
mine the boundary line by using violence
against Venezuela.
Venezuela never recognized the differ
ent boundary lines proposed by Great
Britain, even as dcmarcations of disputed
territory.

tant of the boundary lines follows. The
map shows all the several boundaries and
is an invaluable guide to the proceedings

what is now known as standard time
and which also has the sun dial as its
basis. -Four mcridians, each one hour
apart-Sun time-were chosen as stand
ard meridians. They are the seventy
fifth, which passes near Philadelphia;
the ninetieh, passing near New Orleans
and st. Louis;the one hundred and fifth,
passing near Denver and the one hun
dred and twentieth, near Virginia City.
BY the division thus adopted the space
between them readily became divided
into minutes and they into seconds,
so that after all the world is thus trans
formed into one great sun dial of mag
mary lines not only tracing the min
utes. but even the smaller divisions
Theoretically it was intended that each
meridian should govern the belt seven
and half degrees on each side of it;
but there has been slight variation
from this. The local time of those
places at the edge of the belt will differ
from the standard time by half an hour.
The details Of the system were worked

up by w. +. Allen, secretary of the rail-
way time convention. II was not until
1883 that the railways took hold in
earnest In that year 30 per cent Of
them adopted standard time. and now
the United States and the commercial
world operates on that plan. The time
of the seventy-tifth meridian is called
eastern time. that of the ninetieth
called central and that of the one hun
dred and fifth mountain and the one
hundred and twentieth Pacific. The
adoption of standard time made New
Iork's time four minutes slower than
previously. At the conference Of the
International Geodetic association held
in Rome in 1883 the question of cosmo-
politan time was first discussed.

100 years ahead of their times. La
