MAY CONVERT AUTO

Detroit.-Owners of automobiles, par
ticularly those who have been accus.
toned to discard their cars solely be.
cause newer models have been placed
upon the market, will do well to give
the highest degree Of care to the cars
they now own.
Brigadier General George o. Squier
went to Detroit, and it Is understood
that the purpose Of his visit was to
confer with the manufacturers of au-
tomobiles In regard to obtaining their
cooperation in the manufacture of
aeroplanes.
There are few factories in the Unit
ed States that manufacture aeroplanes,
and each Of these factories makes a
different type of craft. The aggregate
capacity of these factories Is wholly
inadequate to meet the demands Of the
program Of the aircraft production
board, and it is therefore inevitable
that the manufacturers of machinery
which can be used as now made or
whose plants can be adapted most
readily to making parts for aeroplanes
will be requested to give precedence
to the manufacture of parts suitable
for aircraft.

How Watches Vary.

Theoretically, says a jeweler, the
best watches of today are perfect, but
actually they both gain and lose time
every day. Even If the good watch
does not vary one second at the end
Of the twenty-four hours, the expert
insists, 1t has both gained and lost In
that time If 1t is wound In the morn
ing it runs fast and toward the next
morning runs slow, thus equalizing the
time. He says the best watches should
be wound twice day and then at only
two-thirds Of the capacity of the main
spring, thus preventing either binding
or extremes Of strong or weakened
spring. The balance wheel was ex-
pected to equalize differences Of main
spring tension, but really this is not
the case in what is called perfection.
