DOLLAR WATCH" NOW
COSTS $1.35, DUE TO
EFFECTS OF THE WAR

"Dollar watches" now cost S1.35
because of the war. Time has chang
ed and so has its price, and the war is
responsible for both, according to VIM.
H. Ingersoll, Matchmaker, among the
speakers at the jewelers. Convention
at the Planters Hotel in st. Louis
Wednesday.
When asked by reporter what the
war has to do with watches and the
price Of them, he explained:
First of all. the reason of the in
creased price of the Ingersoll watch
is the increased cost of material. When
the European war broke out, copper
jumped from II cents to 81 cents q
pound; speltery which combines with
copper to make watch brass, jumped
from cents to so cents per pound.
"Vast war orders for munitions be-
gan coming to this country and at
tracing labor with higher wages. Mu-
milton factories took men from my fac
tory. In order to hold my men, had
to raise their wages 40 per cent. The
cost Of materials and the shortage of
labor made it necessary to raise the
cost of the watch 35 cents"
But the demand for the "dollar
watch" is as great as ever, Ingersoll
declared.
'Prior to the war we had been turn
ing out more than 10000 watches a
day." he said. eve could turn out
about $4,000 watches daily now if we
could get the labor. Hundreds of
thousands of our wrist watches have
been bought for European soldiers,
but the demand from our own soldiers
is so great now we cannot supply Eu-
rope any more"
The continuance of the war, he said,
may cause another price increase. He
said the taking of our men for mill
tary duty may result in a serious
shortage of labor, and wages would
have to be increased, which the pur-
chaser would have to pay.
He was optimistic, however, con-
corning the end of the war. .s-.s
81 do not think it will last much
longer" he said. "My men travelling
in Europe bring more and more en-
couraging reports. One salesman late
ly from Switzerland told me that Ger
many is due for an internal break
down soon. Everything has gone to
ruin and is out of repair. Vehicles
about to fall apart are driven through
the streets of Germany and cannot be
repaired through lack of material. II
do not see how they can continue"

THE RESPECTED CITIZEN.
Little Son Puts Crimp Into Candidacy
of Father for Member of Council.

Chicago News: Bounderby was most
respected resident of our suburb and
made friends with everybody. As he
was putting up for the borough council
he made tour of the various municipal
establishments, including the local po
lice station.
The superintendent had treated him
with great courtesy and had shown him
everything of interest. on which Boun.
derby dilated when he reached home.
Next day he was taking his little son
for ride on the trolley car. which was
crowded with local residents.
AS the car was passing the police sta.
tion a shrill voice suddenly cried:
600, dad. Is that the police station
where the policeman took you last
night?"
Every person on the car turned to
stare at Bounderby-and he was not
elected to the council

Scientific American: II was almost
Inevitable that in the search for some
quickly imprOvised anti-submarine pro.
lection Of merchant shipping the mind
should think of the placing Of some OBJ
struction in the path of the torpedo
which would serve TO arrest or explode
Il at some distance from the ship.
For the reason that. for many years
--as far back probably as the first
appearance Of a successful automatic
torpedo-warships have been protected
when at anchor by hanging a curtain
Of steel netting around them. the public
jumped 70 the conclusion that IL nets
were a good protection for a ship at an.
chor they must be so for a ship under
way-but that is where il was in error.
SO far as warships are concerned, IL
had been found that not only was the
resistance OF the nets so great as 20

an absolute impossibility IL a ship were

After this brings us face TO face with
a controlling factor which we commend
TO all those inventors who are endeav.
oring to provide protective devices Of

are FarHpital invested and labor re
eye Ehdds Mr.. Jager. bees are far the
oyt money makers one can keep
the ye farm. One hundred pounds is
rfui yr average production under good
Engagement of the bee yard. At this
liTfe 100 hives would produce 10000
bunds of honey in one year. This. a,
No cents a pound, would give a return
of $1,000 for one year.
None OF this has to be used to pay
for feed for the bees. for all their food
and honey come from the flowers OF
the roadsides woods and meadows. Fur.
ther. little or no rent is required for
the land. for the bee hives can be
placed along roadsides and in meadows
where the bees have food at their very
doors.
If yard is needed for the bees. a
quarter Of an acre is more than enough
for 100 hives. This should cost $3.50
as rent.
The only large expense is for equip
ment such as hives and supers. and this
will last lifetime. 1t can
be supplied for $780, This means a
yearly charge of only about Sis. The
bees can be obtained free by catching
swarms in summer. Then by the use
Of pure bred Italian queens these
swarms can be multiplied into a pure
bred apiary.
The total annual cost Of the bees for
Dne year then is less than s20 exclu-
sive Of labor. The actual labor required
is worth S134 at the rate of s4O0 per
year, for only one-third Of the time
1f one man is needed, according to Mr.
lager, who finds that one man can
easily care for 300 hives. This leaves
a net profit of sS46 for one year.

British Guns Blast AWay
1000 Yards of Trenches

frr,m a star Correspondent of Tie Associated
Press
British Headquarters in France, May
2l.-So completely did the British ar
tillery do its work before the attack
between Croisilles and Bullecourt that
z 600 yards of the Hindenburg line are
totally missing. This segment OF the
German defences was completely wiped
out. n, =,
Airplane photographs taken May l
show beautifully symmetrical zigzags,
but the latest pictures taken contain
no trace Of the trenches. The support
line also was badly "strafed," some
s 600 yards of il now being IN British
hands, leaving the Germans hoIding IN"
remaining 1000 yards. The linden
huro front line. between the south end
Of the captured trenches, and Bulle,
court is in dire danger, as it is fianked
on both sides by the British.
THO engagement was really made up
~ two attacks. one in the early morn
ing. when seventy prisoners were TAKEN,
and the second late in the afternoon
,he two netting some $50 prisoners for
the davis work in this sector. Inc Ter
nan artillery's response was very
feeble and the counter barrage during
.he attack was particularly weak.
The prisoners came mostly from. the
Fortv-njnth Reserve Division, which
was recruited in the region Of Posen
and Breslau. IL came TO the West
Sront from Rumania in February. Three
officers are among the prisoners. The
men showed by word and action that
thew were thoroughly tired Of war.
They had been in the line twenty-one
davs and constantly under the British
shellfire All Of them said they had
never seen anything like the artillery
fire. nor did they desire to experience
il again.
