THIS country would be great deal
better Off just now if the ship purchase
bill so earnestly pushed by President
Wilson last winter had been passed by
Congress. The railroad terminals in New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
eastern ports are crowded TO overlooking
with goods OF every sort awaiting ship
ment across the ocean, and some OF the
railroads have been obliged to refuse
further freight because they cannot handle
il. There are not enough vessels to carry
the enormous quantity OF exports in de-
mand by foreign nationS-hence the con-
pestion. In the meantime there are a
number OF great ships belonging TO the
German lines interned in our ports which
could readily have been bought by the
government and used 10 carry our pro-
ducts 10 those who are so anxious to
purchase them. Manufactured goods OF
every sort, wheat and corn-even our
own Shenandoah Valley appleS-are held
up and prices kept lower because OF the
scarcity OF ships that might deliver the
goods abroad.
1t was short-sighted policy to defeat
this bill.

NO LONGER A MYSTERY.
Clock in Window Farrell's Jewelry
Store Holds Curiosity.

What moves the hands of the
strange clock in the window of D..
Farrelps Jewelry Store is no longer
a mystery. A man Of learning offers
the following lucid explanation:
It's easy enough to explain, if
you will watch it closely. There are
no pendulous oscillations cognizable,
but the elongated indicators of alum
mum construction perambulate a
circumscribed radius with circum-
ferential activity, thereby register
ing accurately the subdivisions of it's
circumference. The energizing inn
pulse necessary to ACCOMPLISH the re-
|su tant activity, is not sufficiently ac-
ce,erated to destroy the molecular CO.
hesion of it's atomatic constituents.
It's syncronization is promulgated by
the dissemination of active rays, and
the nocturnal and diurnal reflections
are equalized by contraction and ex-
pansion.
This was made perfectly siear to
me by scientific friend and I give
you his explanation as I remember
