was detected, he called Secretary
Hegge in Spokane. He was instructed
to leave this literature and get out OF

''beat it, for Spokane. The other in

organizer, was discharged. He stated
that he was sent out from Spokane,
and he was going back to Spokane.
Under date of February 81, the As
ISOLATED Press carried dispatch,
showing that the activities to hamper
the spruce industry, which is now so
vital to the needs of our nation, were
being directed from Spokane.
Thus. you will observe this commun-
ity and the Latah County Protective
association are sufficiently informed
to know that Spokane has been, and is
yet, the breeding place and the source
of influences that threaten destruction
of our crops and industries; that in
making every effort to overcome this
menace, our investigations have traced
it directly to Spokane; that |. w. W.
ism and Spokane have, in this sense,
become synonymous.
If we are to protect our property
and preserve the peace and dignity
of our community and do our full part
in assisting our country in it's present
needs, we must have further eoopera-
ton from your city. Therefore, we
still request of Spokane that it "clean,
house." 1t is not within our province
to tell Spokane how this shall be done. |
We believe, however, that if the good |
people of your fair city were suffici-
emily informed regarding the organiza-
ion existing within it's confines, that |

cnronOmeters. Great care and pre-
clslon are necessary in turning GU
tnese navigating instruments, which
are the most accurate portable time
keepers known to science.
Hundreds of chronometers have gone
TO the bottom Of the ocean since
the war began. This alone would
cause shortage in the ordinary sup.
ply, while the equipping Of the new
american merchant marine is creating
an unprecedented demand for new in.
struments.
At present there are. virtually no
chronometers to be had in the open
market. Before the war England SUP.
piled the world with most Of its fine
chrOnometers.
In ordinary times good chronome.

Is 5000 or better, according to the trade
made. The supply in this country
passes through the hands Of few ex
perts, who are doing their utmost to
meet the demand.

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 it 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, it would be possible to find the
longitude of a 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
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.s This commission existed until
1928, and distributed more than $780,.
600 in prizes. ,44,s.
Wins 100000 Prize.
The chief prize offered by the com
mission, 100000, was won by John
Harrison, a Yorkshire matchmaker
who spent his life in perfecting the |
chronometer.
Harrison made the best watches ip
England. Although of limited educa.
ton, he conducted many original re.
searches In the expansion Of metals,
In search Of materials for an improved
watch or clock, that would prove i'm
pervious to changes Of temperature
His first great feat was the production
OF "gridiron pendulum clock" the
hrst chronometer, which in 1875 he
took to the royal commission. It was
tested by the commission by being
sent on q voyage to Lisbon.
The test was not decisive, and Har-
1son continued to work on his chro- {
lometer, seeking the great prize, for q
'eriod of 20 years. In 1861, when six
weight years old, Harrison announced | .
hat he had solved all problems in !.
osved IN his work. he produced
hronometer which the commission
ent' on voyage to Jamaica, to test
Or heat. 1t varied but two minutes
the entire voyage Of several months. \
The commission demanded another :,
EST and the chronometer was sent to :,
arbados, varying but two-thirds Of =
second a week in voyage OF five :
onths. *. =
Harrison had now fairly won the
lie, but he was paid only half Of it,
le chronometer being given further
Ihaustive tests before, when eighty
ears Of age, he received the balance,

.UNEMPL LOYMENT IS
 EXPECTED FIRST | OF NEXT YEAR

Hartford, Dec. 23-Figures ob- tained by wire each week by the Federal Department of Labor from the United States Employment Ser vice show a decrease in the demand for labor and a corresponding in crease in supply. Building trades are at a standstill and probably will re- main so until spring, unless every state community organization and every individual co-operates to the fullest extent with the United States Employment Service.
 Officials of the Employment Service point out that the Rehabilitation of | the army and the cancellation of war contracts present to the state the i'm mediate problem, which in magnitude is directly proportionate to the large part which Connecticut has played in the war.
 The telegram from the Labor De- partment says:
 There is grave danger of a large idle population after the first of the year. The purchasing power of the country at the present time is very great, and every possible means mus be used to stimulate business. The Government plans for providing em ployment for all returning soldier and sailors and workers in war in dustries can only be carried through with the realization of the situation by the entire country"
