WAR and TRADE
A Shortage of Watch Crystals
in the United States.
Their Manufacture Has Been
Undertaken i'm America.

tSince the war started, the manu-
facture of watch crystals has been un-
dertaken in the United States, but
these manufacturers seem to have
gone at the business in chuckle-
headed manner says a Topeka jew
eler. Instead of making crystals to
fit watches now in use, they adopted
arbitrary sizes, seeming to think that
the people will either buy new watches
. to fit their crystals or have their old
watches made over for the new size
faces.
1.-THE war must be a drain on the
resources Of even the neutral coun-
tries. We are now paying twice what
we used to pay for watch crystals Inc
ordinary person thinks the manufac-
ture of a watch crystal must be a COM
paratively simple thing. Buteach crys-
tai must be ground to fit certain
size of watch. The glasses we are get
ting from Switzerland, where most of
the watch glass came from before the
war, is now of varying sizes. The
sizes do not correspond with the labels
at all. The reason is that inexperi-
enced girls are taking the places of
men in the factories. The men have
been called to join the armies of their
countries.
Diamonds Are Scarce.
eff the European war keeps on and
girls in the United States continue
pledging their hearts and hands, there
will not be diamonds enough for the
conventional and significant ornamen-
tation of the promised hand" So says
a Topeka jeweler.
when the war started, the produc-
ton of diamonds ceased. Practically
the entire diamond output of the
world is controlled by trust. Most
of the diamonds are mined in South
Africa by Kafirs. The diamond mines
were closed and locked and the KafirS
were turned out of their compounds,
or prisons, where they were kept to
prevent the smuggling of the precious
gems.
mot only was the output of rough
diamonds stopped. Diamond cutting
also ceased. Twenty thousand dia-
mond cutters in Amsterdam alone
stopped work when called to mobilize
for the Holland army. Practically all
the expert diamond cutters in the
world are either in the contending
armies now or are called from their
work TO join the modified armies of
the neutral countries. Well cut dia-
monds are becoming scarce"

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.
Rains During June Put Thomas Coun-
ty in Fine Shape.

Colby, Kan, July although the
first of June was wet and cold, re-
tarding the growth of all crops, the
close of the month brought more IA
vorable weather and everything looks
fine now. Wheat, barley and oats
look fine and there is a good stand
of corn. There is a poor stand of
forage crops and some very rank
wheat is lodging.
The pastures were never better than
at the present time and the hay crop
equals any that was ever grown. The
stock is in excellent condition, and the
potato crop is very promising.
Some wheat will be harvested next
week. Some loss of crop is reported,
due to red rust and hail. The farm
work is being rushed to get ready for
the harvest.
The highest temperature of the
month, according to the report of de-
partment of agriculture weather bu-
reau, was SO degrees on the eigh-
teenth. The total precipitation for the
month was 4.72 inches. There were
only eleven clear days in the month
The lowest temperature of the month
was SO degrees

Readers Of the EVENING LEDGER have
designated John wanamaker. Samuel G..
Dixon and Russell II. Conwell. in that
order, as the most prominent men of
Pennsylvania.
Two weeks ago Governor Brumbaugh
received a letter from Charles C. Moore.
president of the Panama-Pacific EXPOSE
tion, requesting the Governor to appoint a
committee of prominent residents of the
keystone State to select the name OF a
citizen OF Pennsylvania on whom the ex-
position desired to confer signal honor. 1t
is the intention OF the exposition authori-
ties to designate a special day in honor OF
such citizen, who must be especially dis
tinguished in sbotesmnnship, literature,
art, science or invention.
Governor Brumbaugh. upon receipt OF
this request, asked the newspaper edt-
tors of Pennsylvania to name this man,
and suggested that each newspaper send
to him the names of three citizens whom
they would suggest as being especially
fitted for such an honor. Following the
Governors request the EVENING LEDGER
printed on its back pnge the pictures OF
a number OF most distinguished citizens
of the State, and suggested that its
readers might express their choice by
sending a picture clipped from the EVEN
ING LEDGER or merely sending the name.
AS a result of the letters so received
by the EVENING LEDGER the three names
before mentioned were designated as the
three most eminent men OF the State,
and their names will be sent to the
Governor for his information.

Byron r. Newton, Assistant Secretary Of

gress. The cause which may prompt the
Government to erect such a building. and
as consequence reap an income from

real estate in the section Of the city in
which such a building would have 20 be
situated. The same conditions exist in
New York, Chicago Boston and other

template the erection OF large office

The question whether Federal office

Welded FOLK DANCE FREE;
UNMARRIED MUST BE 30
Only the Sedate May one-step at
Recreation Centre.

Free dancing for brides and bridegrooms
is one of the new Thursday night attrac-
tlons at the Sherwood Recreation Centre,
55th and Christian streets. Those who
have no wife nor husband cannot join the
merry throng of whirlers unless he or
she Is 30 years old.
Just why this age for dancing by single
folk has been decided upon is not def
nitely known, but probably the board Of
managers figured that men and women of
30 had passed their flirting days. There
fore, dances could be conservative and
safe with nobody but married persons
and nonfirters among the dancers Then,
too. the advocates of free dancing did not
want the place used for clandestlne meet
ings by youths Of the neighborhood.
But the attraction of a free dance is
enough to make even a woman forget
her feminine pride. There were many
unmarried couples at the place last night
who looked decidedly young for 30 and
who talked and giggled like girls in their
teens. But they said they wefe 30, and
they deserved something for the sacrifice.
The young single persons thereabouts
nre UP In arms. Cant get In until you're
90l' said one fellow, incredulously. when
I'm that age I'll be in the old mans home

WHO KNEW GEGAx?
Information Will Be Kindly Accepted
by Philadelphians.

If any one in this city or the rest OF
the United States knew Samuel GegaN
during the last of the 103 years of his
life he will confer a favor upon Charles
Martin by telling him all about It, Mar
tin, who lives here, knew Gegax for
many years, but then Gegax disappeared
and went to California. He died some
where in that State in 1903. and had filed
a will some time before that.
News OF the death of GegaN reached
Martin recently. AS Martin believes he
knew Gegax more intimately than any
one else on earth he was anxious to know
something about the contents of the
will. According to the dispatch received
today, Martin started the search In Los
Angeles yesterday. He asked Chief Clerk
Lichtenberger, of the Probate Court, to
try to fnd some one who knew Gegax
or else the will.
Although the clerk is not Obliged to
look for needles in haystacks he prom
ised to do the best he could.
There are 3S Charles Martins in the city
directory.

WIRELESS CASE TAKES
KTTSEE TO NEW YORK
Federal Agents Continue Probe
as to Unauthorized Use of
Philadelphian's Invention.

Further mystery has been added to the
invention said to be responsible for leaks
of military information out of this coun-
try by the disappearance of DR.. Isadore
Kitsee. of 200 Walnut place, inventor of
the appliance. Doctor Ritsee left his
office yesterday and instructed his assist
ants to keep his destination a secret. He
enjoined them not to discuss the wire
less situation.
Those familiar with the situation say
Doctor Kitsee has been called to New
York by Federal agents who are investi-
eating charges that the German Govern
ment, through the Telefunken Wireless
Company, sent messages to German sta
tions and submarines through the use OF
Doctor Kltsee's invention at the Sayville,
L. l., wireless station.
While he is in New York, Doctor
Kitsee is expected to inquire into his
chances for collecting from the German
Government, which, 1t Is said. has put
his invention into use without paying
him for 1t. Doctor Kitsee has said that
he was given to understand he would
get $4,000 for the invention when pre-
linllnary negotiations were conducted
with the "agent for a foreign govern
ment'' The agent is believed to have
been Captain Boy-Ed, of the German
Embassy, though the inventor refuses to
name him.
There is no danger that the wireless
plant at Sayville will be used for sending
secret information to the German Gov
ernment however, for the United States
Government took over the station yes
terday and installed its own operators
on the premises. In the future all mes
sages sent from the station will be
rigldly scrutinized and none will be sent
that is open to question.
Doctor Kitsee's assistants declare they
do not know when he will return to this
city.

As allowance had to be made for ferry
loadlnE. the deck always was below the
lsvel OF the gangway, and at times the
srnall wooden gangplanks for passengers
and for vehicles had a sharp dangerous
inclination.
Very few accidents have resulted, but
this has been due to the fact that at
least four men were employed at the
pont. At frequent intervals, especially
since the advent of the heavily laden
moiortruck, the driveway gangway has
broken under the strain of these heavy
vehicles and necessitated delay until re-
pairs could be made.
The lift system eliminates the sloping
gangplanks for both passengers and We
hlcles. The new gangway is a bridge at
tached to the ferry dock at the shore side.
It Is shaped to conform with the ferry's
PROV.
On the approach of a ferry, the lift ia
lowered by electricity until IL is slightly
below the level Of the ferry deck. As
the vessel touches the lift, looped steel
ropes are attached to hooks placed on
the side of the driveway on the deck of
the ferry. These ropes are Joined some

to the lift. When the ferry is in position
the two connecting ropes are raised by
electricity, lifting the ferry until the ves-

ton. When there Is firm union between
the float and the ferry the passengers

The operation of "snubbing' the ferry
not only is made more safely but more

system will be installed before the begin
ming OF next year.
