ties committed against Belgium and
compared them TO a monster attack
ing a neighbor's child
Would you wait until he had crush
ed the life out Of your neighbor's child
and came over to attack your child
before you attempted to stop him? No,
YOU would go over and help your
neighbor while he was able to help

they are able to help us" he contin-
ued. States Attorney Thompson en-
deayored to impress upon the minds

Accurate Timekeepers.

The most perfect clocks are used in
astronomical observatories One of
these in Berlin has run for months,
with an average error of only one-tif-
teenth of a second a day. In order
to run so perfectly, a clock must not
only be constructed and adjusted with
the greatest care, but must be installed
in q special room, such as an under
ground vault. where the temperature
is practically uniform. 1t must also
be free from jar or vibration, and must,
therefore, be mounted on a heavy ma
sonry pier. Lastly, it should always
be kept under the same barOmetric
pressure, and this may be effected by
inclosing it in a glass or metal case,
from which the air is partially ex-
hauSted In order that the case may
not be opened or disturbed the winding
is done automatically by electricity, the
frequency Of the winding in some
cases being as often as every minute.
Only pendulum clocks can attain the
highest degree of accuracy.

ter. Hence the popularity of card
playing. Women are wrought up TO
state of nervousness TO win or die when
there is longed-fOr exhibition of
prizes. The prize game is mania with
them. They dance, skate. do all sorts
of stunts, for prizes. If that isn't
polite gambling, do not know what is.
They pit their cleverness against
another's cunning. After marriage
they pitch into life's game anew. It's
81 feverish gamble, even among. some
matrOns of the best families, as to
