GREAT BRITAIN'S
LARGEST CLOCK
One With 20,FOOt Dial on
Sewing Machine Fac
tory in Scotland

GLASGOW. Scotland. July 16-The
controlling chiefs of the great factory
Of Singers at Kilbowie are Ameri-
cans one is the general manager OF
the vast concern. the other directs the
London office.
Singers employs at present 1900
hands and turns out n million or more
sewing machines a year. Since the
American manager has taken the reins
at the works there has been a great
change in the organization. Time is
checked TO the second and economy
exercised. Something new for the old
established Glasgow firms IS seen I'm
the Indicator for the office staff,
checking their ingoing and outgoing.
The huge new clock now set agoing
is both a caDital timekeeper and also
an ever present reminder to the thou
sands Of employees that time is valu-
able. The dials are 26 feet in dia-
meter: each Of the four dials minus
the glass, weighs five tons, and the
glass is 3-S inch plate ana covers 270i
feet
Monster hands OF aluminium measure
the time. The minute hand is - feet
long, the hour hand is s feet 8 inches,
and they weigh respectively, notwith-
standing the light metal used, los and
6S pounds
A l3-foot pendulum with BAN
Weighing 800 pounds is set in motion
by "weights" Of a ton in all. The
clockwork movement has a great wheel
Of feet G inches in diameter. fitted
with Lord Grimthorpe's double three
legged gravity escapement. Direct
from this great wheel the hands are
driven by steel tube connecting rods 20
feet long fitted TO joints and run on
friction rollers.
To the satisfaction Of the makers
Edwards, Of Glasgow-the clock has
so far mover varied through the week
by more than six seconds. What this
means can be understood by noting
that four mon are required TO work the
winders which weekly winds up this
gigantic horologe.
The clock on the Town Hall at Phil
adelpha may be larger than Singers
at Kilbowie. but the latter is certainly
the biggest timepiece in Great Britain.

Sees GREAT EVIL
In KISSING
Dominic ReneWS Attack on
the Greatest Demon" Of
Them All, in Sermon

Carlo. H., July 16--Rev. d. L. Bass
whose sermon on the evils of kissing
IS ringing through all the young ladies'
seminaries presumably. renewed his
attack on the kiss demon in his sun
day sermon.
"The Kiss Devil is doing more to I'll
Hades than the Whlskey Devil. the
Drug Devil and all the other devils
rolled into one" said DR.. Bass, who is
pastor Of Calvary Baptist Church here.
Lovers should never kiss each other
until they are married In the days
of our grandparents. in the Southern
States at least. an attempt to kiss a
girl was rightly considered as great
a wrong as could be committed against
her. Such an attempt was a gross
insult, and the man who offered it and
the young woman's father or brother
met with pistols at the next sunrise.
Let young lovers hold each others
hands in token of their pure affection.
And when they part the man may
perhaps bring his sweetbeart's tender
hand to his lips for a neeting. gentle.
respectful pressure. But that should
be all
There is something wonderfully
magnetic and thrilling in the kiss.
When two sets Of liDs come together
il is like two clouds charged with
electricity. the one positive and other
negative. and the result is in certain
cases, an emotional explosion and
cloudburst of excessive passion and
ecstacy A kiss goes straight, like
the shock of a galvanic battery, to the
heart and the weaker party is always
paralyzed under the blow, whether for
good or ill or for veal or woe.
Nothing has more OF heavens fire
or the fire Of he'll in it than the kiss of
a lover or OF a villain. and the first
step of the fend incornate in order "a
destroy the innocent but deludod
victim in his clutches is to get his lips
to hers. Lips are often tho gate to the
citadel Thousands have surrendered
the fortress Of character 20 the thrill
ing kiss of the libertine. who well
knows its psychologist and dynamic
power when affections and confidence
have been won in a woman's heart.
Great God deliver us from the Kissing
Devil!"
The Rev. DIR. Bass though a South
erner. has Puritan blood in his veins.
He is a descendant Of Samuel Bass,
who settled in Massachusetts in 1860.
