DRAW MOISTURE FROM WATCH
Timepiece Is Not Necessarily Ruined
II Unfortunately 1t Has Been 5
Water-Soaked. r.... ..

What to do with a water-soaked
watch is often a problem when one Is
caught In the wilderness, or in com.
nunity where no jeweler is to be
found. Lack Of knowing what steps
to take often results in much expense,
II not in the utter ruin Of the watch.
Watches made with both screw
face and screw back may be dried
easily by removing the front and back,
emptying the watch of as much water
as will run out, reversing the crystal,
screwing 1t on the back Of the watch.
and then laying 1t where the sun will
have a chance to reflect through the
crystal.
The heat of the sun on the crystal
will draw the moisture from the works
In fifteen or twenty minutes, says the
Technical World. If water still re-
mains in the works. the crystal may
be unscrewed, wiped and replaced,
and the process repeated.
After the sun fails to draw any
more of the water out of the glass It
is safe to conclude that there is no
more in the works, and the oil origi-
nally on them, warmed by the sun,
lubricates the parts
There should be no more trouble
with the watch, although it is advis-
able to have it examined by jeweler
at the earliest opportunity.

TRAFFIC TIED UP
Heavy Rains in the Southern
Part of the State.
Santa Fe Tracks Washed Out in
Many Places.

Heavy rains in southern Kansas last
night, amounting almost to cloud
bursts, tied up traffic on the Santa Fe
in many localities.
According to reports received today
by c. w. Kouns, general manager, the
rainfall amounted to between and
6 inches. The Elk river, bankfull at
most places, went out in the surround
ing country at several points, flood
ing fields and washing out railroad
tracks.
in wire to Topeka, Payson Ripley
of Chanute, superintendent of the
Southern Kansas division of the Santa
Fe. says that a Santa Fe bridge at
New Salem has been washed away
On the branches in that part of the
state, the trains are tied up in several
localities today. The rain stopped
this morning. 1t will be day or more
before the damage can be repaired.
Only meager reports of the flood trou-
BILE could be obtained. Late reports
indicate that no lives were lost.
