Handicapped by another day when
men are busy with other things the
campaign for raising Lakeland's quo
ia to the $35,OOO,O0O fund has been

Every member of each one of the

aside everything on Monday until the
full amount is secured. This must
not be the first time for us to fall
down. Our boys are calling to us,
Don't you care?" We know, many
of US, that we have not gone the limit,
while still many more have not even
made the slightest response to the
call.
For instance, it shows a terrible
lack of interest in the matter when
some of our prominent men say they
know nothing about it in view Of the
publicity Of the past week.
The Executive Committee is work
ing hard each member, and every cit
izen is asked to rally to their sup

FOR BALL-BEARING PARTS
Measuring Machine That Is Infinitely
More Sensitive Than a HUI
man Being.

The average person has little con-
ception Of the accuracy with which it
is necessary to work on some classes
of machinery. Ball-bearing parts, for
instance, are produced in large guam
titles, yet in some cases the limit Of
error is placed at One-tenth of one
thOusandth of an inch or about one
twentieth the thickness of q human
hair. The human sense Of touch is
coarse in comparison.
A multiple indicator described in
Popular Science Is a very satisfactory
device for measuring parts that must
be accurately gagged without loss of
time. The machine consists of SUBJ
stantial base plate with an accurately
ground, hardened steel facing and an
integral standard carrying a measur-
ing appliance. The dial indicator
reads in thOusandths of an inch, each
graduation representing a one-thou-
sandth inch movement of the indicator
stem.
The work to be measured is placed
under the measuring point on the null
tiplying lever. AS this is very near
the fulcrum, relatively slight mo-
ton will be changed to one of ten
times that magnitude at the dial in
dicatOr. If the work is but One-thou-
Sandth inch larger or smaller than the
standard, the pointer Of the indicator
will move over ten graduations on the
dial. An error of one-tenth of q thou
sandth will move the pointer one
graduation.

Pheasants Hear ZeppeIins.

A Zeppelin raid over the east coast
of Scotland was announced in a curl
Gus manner by pheasants. At mid
night colony of young birds became
extraordinary clamOrous, the sound,
it is said, resembling a lOng-drawn
wall. An old man who knows all
about pheaSants was awakened out Of
his sleep by the noise, and remarked
Something is gaun to happen" A
few minutes later the sound of burst
ing bombs was heard, and the sky be-
came infamed. 1t is of course, a fact
of natural history that pheasants, like
all hunted creatures, great and small,
are peculiarly sensitive of hearing.

PLEA FOR CLERKS
SENT TO SENATORS
Federal Employees Union Mails
Appeal for Increase in
Clerks Salaries.

Every United States Senator re-
ceived in his mornings mail an ap-
peal for salary increases for Govern
ment employees from the Federal EN-
ployes' Union.
Last night the union mailed a let
ter and brief to every member OF
the Senate, setting forth arguments
for the increase.
Expenses should Govern Revenue
The bill to provide wage increases
for Government clereks will come De
fore the Senate today, Il IL expected.
H. NJ. McLarin, president Of the union.
in the letter addressed to the Legislators.
says that the revenues Of the country
should not govern its expenses. but that
the necessary expenses should. govern
the amount Of revenue collected.
For aDeeent Living WAGE .
Mr.. McLarin says that never in the
history Of the Government has an APP
peal for a justified wage increase been
unheard, and that the union does not
believe the Democratic party will raise
the pleas OF a lack of funds In the
Treasury.
The brief states that while everybody
is anxious that the expenses of Govern
ment be minimized. Il is not desired to
have them curtailed at the cost Of deny
ing TO Federal employees a decent living
wage
