In order that there may be agree

there must obviously be not only .,lne

than many scientific instruments OF

human proneness to error Is consul.
cred In this matter Of choosing gooo

IS preferred to the pendant set Watcn
because there is just the chance that
the stem of the pendant set may not
be pushed back after setting through
an oversight.
On one great line about 5,OoO
watches, worth on an average OF go
apiece "a low average), are used II
we take into consideration the NUMBER
of watches that are used on other
roads throughout the country 1t Is
evident that the value must run up
into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In order that the watch may be kept
up to a regular standard 1t must be
inspected regularly. There Is not only
a general time inspector on most rail-
roads, but a staff of local inspectors
who are placed along the road at con-
venient points and to whom the men
may resort when they wish to COM
pare their time with the standard time
at that place. Once every two weeks
the railroad man submits his watch to
such an inspector, usually a jeweler
or matchmaker by profession.
The inspector gives his expert opin-
lon on the condition of the timepiece.
If 1t needs cleaning he says so and
does 1t; II 1t is fast or slow he regu-
lates 1t, and not until It is running
