Paul Carny Of Fremont, Ohio, Invents Clock
that Sends His Daughters Steady HomA
Before Midnight

Paul Carny Of Fremont, Ohio, has invented
night clock by combining the mechanism Of the clock
with that Of graphophone. You talk into tho
clock what you want it to say at any particular hour
and it will call out 6:15 $3.50, etc.. the same az q

''That's some of fathers work. she said.
George merely laughed At 1870 the clock suddenly
remarked:
"Gas costs $1.1o per thousand feet.''
The clock got the laugh and George said 1t

turned to the fray with this remark:
"Oh, it is hard to part How bear itf I
shall not see you again until tomorrow!'
George now moved uneasily and guessed he had

intervals with such literature as:
9'Well goodbye, dearest, take care Of your pre-.
cious ownty.''
ssHow can I bear to leave thees"
George, stop that!''
"And the gas burned on.'
By this time George evidently annoyed.
"Guess I'd better be going before that dummed
old watch says something it will regret long it
iyes''
And as>George slid out into the vestibue the clock
let go vicious strain Of: -.

pastry all baked and set out in the shed TO cool As
there is basement under the shed and the floor is
cold your foot, she placed the pie the floor.
Going into the shed moment later she saw the pie
and said to herself, I hope nobody will step in that
pie" She walked the shed to do some light
