WATCH WILL ADJUST ITSELF
Remarkably Simple Method Of Making
Timepiece That 10 Too Fast or
Too Slow Set Itself.

Frederick e. Ward sends to the Sci
entific American remarkably simple
method of making watch that is too
slow or too fast set itself. The usual
method is to turn the hands backward
or forward or to stop the balance
wheel with toothpick.
II watch be removed from It's
chain and hung by its bow on hook
or nail 80 that It swings free 1t Will
be found to oscillate back and forth
like a pendulum. This motion Is
caused by the motion Of the parts OF
the escapement. The swinging either
accelerates or slows down the running
OF the watch. Its exact effect varies
with individual watches, depending
upon the weight and size of the case.
Whether 1t makes the watch gain or
lose, and how much, can be found by
experiment, say, by hanging the watch
up for ten hours and checking 1t by
the wireless signals that are sent out
at noon and 10 p. m. by the govern
,ment station at Radio, Va, and can be
caught by any but the crudest wireless
receivers.
The average watch gains about two
seconds an hour, when hanging free.
Some, however, lose When the pre-
else gain or loss has been ascertained
the regulator should be adjusted. II
the watch gains 1t should be made to
run trifle slow.
Now, by repeated trials, the owner
can learn precisely how many seconds
his watch gains or loses. When this
error has accumulated long enough
to make an adjustment advisable, all
he has to do is to hang up his watch
for the right number of hours to bring
dts second hand back or forward to the
correct position.
Should watch be found neither to
gain nor to lose when hanging, 1t can
be made to respond by hooking piece
of metal to the stem, thus raising the
center Of oscillation.

WILL NOT SOON LOSE FAVOR
No Reason Why Motion Pictures
Should Not, for Long Time to
Come, Continue Popular.

The search for the limitations of the
motion picture and placing of date
for the expiration of its hold on the
public, are now among the most popu-
lar indoor sports. That the picture,
as an art, has its limitations is GER
tain, but we have never been able to
see where those binding cords were
any less elastic than those of the spo-
ken drama or of the printed story.
Action" is prime necessity Of all
three forms; when that movement is
lacking, and the story becomes char
acter study, either of a people or an
individual, the balance must be evened
up by the players unusually good
work or the artistic handling Of the
subject. Many a novelist has placed
his reliance on his skill with the pen
and won out, but many more have
found that their weaving of fine SEN
tences could not hide the fact that
the story was wanting. Many play
wright and actor have pinned their
faith to the strong lines In piece, to
that delicate medium of expression,
the human voice." and have scored,
but many more have found that their
skill could not make up for the loss
of plot complication. Wherein are the
limitations of the motion picture, IL
perhaps less wide in their scope, any
different in principle?

HIS ONE REDEEMING QUALITY

They had not met for many years.
Girlhood chums, their paths of life

A frigid look overspread Mamie's
face. With the hauteur that her sex
can display on needed occasions. she
freezingiy spoke:
Madam, he is my husband"
Poor Mary. What could she say?
Her face was scarlet and she worked
her brain overtime to say something
to appease her friend. This is what
she managed to stammer:
"W-W-Well, Mamie. he certainly
did wear the most beautiful neckties
that | ever saw."-Louisville Times.

Northern IIIiteracy,

Unless we can find some means of
stimulating the campaign against IL
literacy 1t is merely matter of time
when the positions of the north and
the south will change places with re-
gard to that question. The manager
Of the industrial league, with head
quarters in New York, announces that
the percentage of adult illiterates In
that state has not decreased in the
last 20 years. The state has stood
still more persistently than any other
in the union in this respect Connec-
ticut and New Jersey follow closely
upon its record. According to the
leagues bulletin, "the south is far
outstripping the north in its efforts
to deal with the problem Of illiteracy."
While the percentage is still greater,
1t is being cut down from a quarter
to half every decade. The south's
population is more homogeneous and
more responsive at least to primary
educational influences.-Boston Tran
script.

Need Of Merchant Marine.

War, especially SO gigantic con-
flict as the present, continually pre-
sents new problems, which must be
met by war measures. Congress is
proceeding rapidly in the way Of pro-
viding for. the admission to American
registry of ships necessary to carry
abroad the surplus grain crop. The
incident is an object lesson as to the
need of an American mercantile ma
rine. When our citizens can not be
carried across the ocean or their pro-
ducts transported because foreign
ships, which are doing the work, are
liable to be hauled off at any time for
fighting purposes American pride in

would Have Made Good Picture.

Judging from accounts in the Los
Angeles papers, Marguerite Loveridge
Is not exactly lacking in pluck. When
she and her sister discovered a bur-
glar in the house Marguerite seized a
revolver and. crawling to the door of
the room where the crook was prowl-
ing about, took pot shot at him.
OF course, she didn't score bull's-eye,
but nevertheless the thief tumbled
backward out Of the window with an
alacrity calculated to fill the best Of
"heavies" with envy. Too bad there
was no picture taken of the incident.

eeorae Ade to the Rescue.

One of the rarest things in motion
pictures is real comedy. Many al
legged humorous pictures are produced,
but 1t ia an unfortunate fact that most
of them consist of cheap and some.
times coarse slapstick stuff In which
there is a marked absence of anything
witty. Once In long time a COM
pany stumbles on something really
funny, but with the exception of the
Keystone pictures, consistent series
of good comedies has never been pro-
duced. Accordingly there was rejoic-
ing at the announcement that George
Ade would write three series Of come
dies for the screen.
