Every Watch A Compass.

A few days ago l was standing
by an American gentlemen, when
I expressed a wish to know which
point was north. He atonce pull
ed out his watch, looked at it, and
pointed to the north. | asked him
whether he had a compass attach
ed to his watch. "All watches"
he replied, "are compasses." Then
hs explained to me how it was.
Point the hour hand to the sun,
and the south is exactly half way
between the hour and the figure II
on the watch. For instance, sup
pose that it is 4 o'clock. Point
the hand indicating 4 to the sun
and 2 on the watch is exactly
south. Suppose that it is 8 O'Clock,
point the hand indicating 8 to the
sun, and the figure 10 on the watch
is due south. Mr.. American friend
was quite surprised that l did not
know this. Thinking that very
possibly l was ignorant of thing
that every one else knew, and hap
pening to meet Mr.. Stanley. l ask
ed that eminent traveller whether
he was aware of this simple mode
of discovering the points OF the
compass. He said that he never
heard Of it.
presume, therefore, that many
are in the same state of ignorance.

Don't Sit Down and Wait

1t is better to have one Opportu-
nifty that is entirely our own, one
chance to make good in the way in
which God intended, than to con-
tinue to waste time and strength
in the fruitless occupation of wait
ing. We can work wonders with
our chances if we recognize them
in time and make use of them in
spite of the fact that they may not
be exactly what We had hoped for.
1t is better to do the best we can
with those things that are clearly
and solely ours, than to waste time
in wishing for the chances that
others have.-Bossier Banner.

plane with the men workers. He an
nounced Tuesday that hereafter all
of the gentler sex would drawat least

Ford hands much credit to President
Wilson. In his statement he said:
81 had the pleasure to inform Pres

1 had established the women work
ers at my plant at Detroit and at all
the branch factories in other cities
upon a pay equality with the men

'T took this step following my. con-

two weeks ago, and 1 did so because

Wilson on the forward movement
among Womenkind. This principle is
now in operation and look forward
with complete confidence to its vim
dication."
Mr.. Ford blew into Shadow Lawn
to show Wilson advertisements sup
porting the administration which he
plans to have published prior to cleo
ton. When he stepped off the train
and was asked why he was in Shad-
-ow Lawn, he said ''To get on the Will
son band wagon"
Before leaving Detroit for his visit
with the president, Ford discussed
his backing of Wilson. 'This is not

METAL COLORS RARELY SEEN
Some Light Waves Absorbed, Others
Reflected-copper Is Really
Saimon-Pink Shade.

One of the beautiful things we sci
dom see is the color of pure metals
When exposed to the air most metals
tarnish so rapidly that our only means
to get even passing glimpse of their
true color is by quickly scraping of
the corroded surface.
The color Of metals depends upon
the selective absorption of light waves
of different lengths. For instance. ii
2 metal absorbs every light wave ex
cept that Of the length which pro
duces the optical sensation yellow
then its color is yellow, for what II
cannot absorb 1t reflects. Gold is
such metal On the other hand
when gold is beaten to such thinness
that 1t becomes translucent, it trans
mits not yellow light rays, but those
which it formerly absorbed, namely
a greenish blue mixture.
Silver is the best example of a large
class of metals that reflect practically
all the light they receive, and are
therefore approximately of the same
color as the light to which they are
exposed. From their color in the sun
light they are quite properly called
white" metals. Some of these are
aluminium, magnesium, nickel, sodium
tin, iron and antimony.
Others. like lead, cadmium and
zinc, have something of this silver
luster, but with slight blush tinge
The gray metals, such as manganese
and cobalt, probably owe their lack of
color to their tendency to absorb all
colors in about equal amounts. Bis.
muth is of peculiar light red and
potassium has a pinkish tinge. Cop
per, strange to say, is not copper /
colored,' but is usually described as
salmon-pirk.
