After the cards have been punched
and verified they are ready for the

machine, similar in many respects 70

which was invented by Hermann Hol-
lerith. 1t is in the form of a heavy
cabinet, from the front of which ex-
tends movable arm or lever, attached
to the outer extremity of which is
pin box" containing a pin for each
possible hole in card.
The operator feeds the cards by
hand, one at time. into a receptacle
directly under the pin box. This re-
ceiver has holes that come under those
in the card. Beneath each hole is q
mercury cup. After placing a card
in the receiver the operator touches q
spring starting an electric motor. This
automatically brings the pin box
down upon the card The electrically
charged pins pass through the holes
into the mercury cups contact is ac-
complished, and the current by means
of relays causes one or more dials or
counters to register In other words
each pin and its mercury cup form
terminals of separate current passing
through an electro magnet controlling
the tabulating dial for each item of
data required The pins which reach
the unpunched surface of the card are
pushed back into the box so that no
contact is possible The tabulating
process is completed by an automatic
recording and printing system, some
what on the stock ticker plan, con-
nected with each dial. When the OPP
orator wishes to make reading or to
ascertain a total or series of totals AN
electric button is touched, and the de-
tails are automatically printed on rib
bons of paper
Each tabulating machine can, if nee
essary, carry sixty counters, but it is

make will be Raymond, Cal, and then
he will journey through Santa Fe,
N. NJ; Pueblo, Colo; Wichita, Kan !:
Kansas City and Chicago.
From Chicago Weston will take the
most direct route possible and will
travel over the country roads instead
of the rights of way of the railroads.
On his trip west last year Weston did
not make it across the continent with
in the hundred day limit he had set.
He arrived five days behind the sched-
ule, because in several instances he
had to double on his tracks. BY fol
lowing the railroads from the west to
Chicago, travelling northwest all the
time, he expects to make better time
than by following the western country
roads.
Throughout his long public career
Weston has been the leading exponent
of walking. He has taught its advan-
tages to American youth in the inter-
est of perfect physique and moral
mentality. And now, while passing
from his seventy-irst to his seventy
second year, blessed with robust health
and untirtng activity as the result of
life of temperate and correct habits.
he starts forth for his walk across the
American continent to prove simply
that the feat is not one of superhuman
or even unusual effort, but an educa-
tional and healthy exercise which any
man of normal health and temperate
habits can successfully follow.

Veteran Pedestrian Purposes to Cross
Continent In One Hundred Days.
When Edward Payson Weston, the
famous pedestrian walked across the
American continent last year in 105
days it was considered a marvellous
feat, and as he had then reached
the age of scvcuty-One most people
thought, of course, that it would be
his last journey of this kind But they
did not know this remarkable man.
He has now arranged another tour and
purposes to walk from ocean to ocean
i'll a hundred days. If he reaches the
New York city hall steps on schedule
time he will greet Mayor Gaynor on
May %. He will then be seventy-two
years old, as he is near the end of his
seventy-first year.
When Weston leaves Los Angeles on
Feb 1 at 4 p. IN. he will first travel
westward to the Pacific. Leaving the
Pacific at Santa Monica, the worlds
champion walker, both for age and
distance, will follow the tracks of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road. The first city of any size he will

scout training.

an amusing state of affairs is to be
found on the outskirts of Bourne

Convicted Banker Has Fought Hard
For Fredom-His Atlanta Life.
."The fight has just begun"
Thus spoke Charles w. Morse, the
convicted banker and financier, as he
entered the federal prison at Atlanta,
Ga, the other day. 1t gives one q
pretty good idea of the fighter this
man is. Losing three years battle
to keep out of the penitentiary such
as few men i'll bis position have ever
made, leaving wife and children,
whom he fairly adores, and facing a
sentence of fifteen years behind the
bars, he was still able to smile and
declare that his fight for freedom had

Lord Curzon was once talking about
widowers. He said that a widower
was more despised and abhorred than
any other human type. In a widow,

seductive. But widower Is as I'M

her to look favorably on his suit by
praising his children.

Unlike the cadet corps of rich mems
sons and the boys brigade of the poor.
there are no class distinctions with the
boy scouts. The unit of membership
is just an embryo citizen-a lad who. if
fate has endowed him with sheltered
ana cultured surroundings, will prob
ably become a good citizen and who.
II endowed with an unhappy home life
and the streets for playground, will
quite Conceiyably turn out a bad citi-
zen. The boy scout organization, with
its delightful adventures and ritual.
captures this embryo citizen and does
its best to make his bent toward good
citizenship sure and permanent.
Every boy on joining the corps has
to take the scouts oath and promise
on his honor three things, "To be
loyal to God and the king, to help
others at all times and to obey the
scout law" His motto is. 'sBe pre-
pared" Obedience to those in authori-
