THE pocket in which one carries
his watch, the size of the pocket and
the kind of watch chain or fob used
have a more important effect on the
uniformity of a watch's rate than is
generally realized. The temperature
of the watch in different pockets will
vary considerably and the amount OF
motion or jar to WHICH the watch
would be subjected would differ. For
instance, a watch carried in the upper

TRAINS WILL WASTE NO TIME
TO Be Loaded While Moving II This
Invention LIS Adopted.


In these fast moving days, 1t is be-
coming terrible waste of time for
trains to stop to take on and let of
passengers. Therefore, man has in
vented device by which they can be
grabbed or shunted off on the run.
The inventor is DR.. John A. Gum of
Des Moines, la. He has devised car
of somewhat larger type than the typi-
cal passenger coach. The car is in
reality nothing but huge arch. into
which smaller car fits. The smaller
car is fitted with wheels whose flanges
are set to run on the outside of the
rails instead of the inside. This makes
possible the working Of a switching
system that will take this smaller car
out of the train and onto the sidetrack
while the rest of the train goes whiz.
zing on on the main track. An arm
has been devised to catch the car as
1t stands on the sidetrack and shoot
1t into the train when 1t is desired to
pick it up, in way just the reverse
of the way 1t is dropped off.
While there is no prospect that the
new invention will be put into immed.
late use, the inventor and his attorneys
believe that the speed demands Of fut-
ure travel will make 1t necessary.

"That can't be; she's not that kind

stopped and fixed her piercing black
eyes on him.
"Much you know about women"
she began. "Trust me, that friend Of

half in love with him herself. He

excitement of his companion was
putting him under a spell.
"Thank you, l have room not far
from here, and I prefer to go alone.

reach me-" She handed him a slip
of paper. "Good night" She turned

Joplin stood staring after her, un-
able to move until she disappeared
from view; then he walked slowly to

starlit night.
