their ships progress from day to day.
This system was uncertain, and
caused great many shipwrecks.
Longitude is merely the difference
of time between two points on the
earth's surface, and II became appar-
ent to students of the problem It pre-
sented that If an instrument could be
devised that would keep accurate time
at sea, 1t would be possible to find the
longitude of ships position whenever
weather conditions were favorable.
Time at the ship could be determined
by an east or west observation of the
sun, morning or afternoon, worked out
by accepted tables. If the time Of a
given point on shore was known
aboard the ship, the difference in time
would give the longitude of the ship.
England was the first nation to cope
with this great problem. In 1714 It ap-
pointed commissioners for the Dis
covery of Longitude at Sea-" and au-
thorized the payment of large prizes
to stimulate research to the desired
end. This commission existed until
1928, and distributed more than $780,
900 in prizes.
Wins 100000 Prize.
The chief prize offered by the COM
mission, 100000, was won by John
Harrison, Yorkshire matchmaker,
who spent his life in perfecting the
chronometer.
Harrison made the best watches in
England. Although of limited educa-
ton, he conducted many original re-
searches in the expansion OF metals,
in search of materials for an improved

Merchant Marine Has an Official
Chantie Man.
Stanton n. King of Boston, an Old
Salt, Teaches Rockies to Sing
Sea Songs.

Boston.-Stanton II. King of Boston
has the only war job Of its kind.
He is official chantie man for the
American merchant marine.
His work will be to revive chantie
singing among merchant sailors who
will join the country's new cargo ships
through the United States shipping
board recruiting service, national head
quarters of which are at Boston.
While chantie singing has declined
on all seas, owing to the change In re-
cent years from sailing vessels to
steamers-there not being much OPP
portunity to "heave and haul" on
board a steamer-its revival is consid-
cred important for two reasons.
Chanties insure team work when a
crew is pulling on ropes, even aboard
steamers; while the building of large
numbers of American schooners means
an increased demand for men who can
"reef, hand and steer" on sailing ves-
sells, where chantie singing used to
flourish.
The shipping board trains men to
serve on steamers, but If a certain per-
centage ship on sailing vessels and

watch or clock, that would prove inn
pervious TO changes of temperature.
His first great feat was the production
Of "gridlron pendulum clock,". the
first chronometer, which in 1875 he
took to the royal commission. 1t was
tested by the commission by being
sent on voyage to Lisbon.
The test was not decisive, and Har-
rison continued to work on his chro-
nometer, seeking the great prize, for q
period Of 20 years. In 1761, when six
ty-eight years old, Harrison announced
that he had solved all problems in
volved in his work. He produced q
chronometer which the commission
sent on a voyage TO Jamaica, to test
for heat. 1t varied but two minutes
on the entire voyage Of several months.
The commission demanded another
test, and the chronometer was sent to
Barbados, varying but two-thirds Of
a second week in a voyage Of five
months.
Harrison had now fairly won the
prize, but he was paid only half of 1t,
the chronometer being given further
exhaustive tests before, when eighty
years of age, he received the balance,
in 1773.
The result of his life work was ex-
traordlnarily beneficial to mankind, yet
conservative mariners continued to find
their longitude by dead reckoning for
half century after the perfection Of
the chronometer. Today captain
would almost as willingly put to sea
without a rudder as without chro-
nometer.

of chantie singing, they will be the bet
ter equipped for their work, according
to sharps on the seafaring game.
Stanton ii. King probably is the
country's best-known chantie singer
Chantie singing is part of weekly en-
tertainment he gives Jack ashore at a
mission of which he is head.
The program is usually varied, and
to hear Mr.. King lead his sailor friends
in Shenandoah" Bound for the Rio
Grande" or "Blow the Man Down" is
to understand the psychologist punch Of
the well-sung chantle.
Mr.. King is an old salt and learned
chantle singing on deep water vessels.
He began going to sea SO years ago,
from the Barbados, in the merchant
service.

Our boys are defending this country
on the high seas and on the land. Our
own defense against a common enemy
is to keep the system clean by Kidding
the body of the toxins, or poisons, which
are bred in the intestines. When you
feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your
breath is offensive, or pimples appear
on the face and neck, it is time to recog-
nize the danger and protect your bodily
health by taking something for the liver
such as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery Of the body needs to
be oiled, kept in good condition, just as
the guns or machinery of q ship. Why
should human person neglect his own
machinery more than that of his auto
mobile or his guns2 Yet most people
do neglect themselves. Their tongue
has a dark brown color, skin sallow,
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have
been known for nearly half a century.
They are made of May-apple, leaves of
aloe and jalap, made into a tiny pellet
and coated with sugar. They are stand
ard and efficacious. You can obtain
them at any drug store in walls for
twenty-five cents. Ask for DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets-and get no otherl

we start back another mile or so to an
other station where the most desperate
cases are operated upon.
"In the first week we handle the
wounded four or five times and finally
leave them in the evacuation hospitals.
From there they are carried to the
base hospitals, usually on trains"
Thus the Red Cross ambulance driver
risks his life to get American soldiers
to the surgeons. Lieutenant Dempsey
had his ambulance blown to pieces
while he was a short distance away
picking up wounded man.
When the wounded soldier gets to
the dressing stations or hospitals he is
assured of the best bandages because
loving hands in America in Red Cross
chapters have prepared them. And a
CHEEKY Red Cross nurse win smooth his
pillow and make his convalescence
pleasant.
The dollars given to the Red Cross
are doing more than 100 cents worth
of good.

STEP TO VEIL TARTAR WOMEN
Mohammedan Order EnIarges Hand
kerchiefs to Hide Face Of
Wives and Daughters.

Petrograd.-The Mohammedan Tar
tar men of Tchistopol district province
of Kavan, have ordered their wives
and daughters each to sew half n
square Of extra material to the hand
kerchiefs with which they cover their
heads.
The women long ago ceased to veil !;
but when meeting unknown men they
took tab of the bow formed by tying
handkerchiefs beneath the chin, and
held the tab before the face in place
of a veil.
Unluckily, as the handkerchiefs with
the passing Of time grew smaller, the
tabs ceased to cover the face, and the
act became only symbol. To make it
again reality husbands and fathers
are insisting on bigger handkerchiefs.
