INCOMING PORTO RICANS EAGER
FOX WORK

Among the Porto Rican laborers
who are being transported to America
to supplement the labor supply are
many men of 60 years or more.
One of the most interesting and at
thea same time pathetic sights con-
nected with the moving of these great
numbers of men to the United States
is the eagerness of the old men to
reach what they consider a land of
promise. They have worked in the is
land for the whole term of their exist
ence without a thought that they
would ever be able to leave it, until
now the wars demands have provided
them with opportunities in a new
country.
When the first chance came the To-
cal office Of the Department of Labor
in San Juan was almost swamped
with eager applicants for jobs in
America. The men will be used large
ly in agricultural work in the south
where the climate will not be greatly
unlike that to which they have been
accustomed and where the agricultur.
al conditions are similar to those il
Porto Rico.

to be hoped that his generosity in let

turn.
complete chronometer outfit con-
sists of the clock or movement" the
"gimbal" or metal ring in which it is
suspended, and the carrying case. The
movement is a round clock about the
size of the familiar alarm clock. Its
position, however, is horizontal, or
face-up, and this position is maintain
ed without regard to the pitching or
rolling of a ship. This is managed by
permitting the chronometer and the
metal ring enclosing it to SWING free
ly on pivots, as in the case of a COM
pass
In a good picture of Captain
Buckles chronometer, it is shown
suspended by the pivots at the top and
bottom of the metal ring. This ring
in turn is Suspended by pivots at the
sides of the box. Therefore, whether
the ship lift at bow or stern or roll
sideways, the chronometer maintains
level position.
While a chronometer is the most
nearly perfect time-piece made, they
reed readjustment and regulating
from time to time. No mariner re-
CARDS his chronometer as infallible
though some have kept remarkable
accurate time for months.
The chronometer dates from the lat
ter part of the 18th century, when an
English clock maker named Harrison
won a reward of 10000 pounds ($1OO,.

GRANDMOTHER WAS THE DRUG
GIST

In the early days of our country
grandmother was the druggist, and
her drugs consisted mostly of roots
and herbs gathered from the fields
and forests. There was coughs, skull
cap for nervousness, thoroughwort for
colds, NORWOOD for bruises and
sprains and so on. They were success
full remedies, too. 1t was from COM
bination of such roots and herbs that
Mrs. Lydie E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass,
more than forty years ago, originated
her now famous Vegetable Compound;
and during all these long years no
other remedy has ever been discover
ed to restore health to ailing women
so wonderfully as this good old-fash-
toned root and herb medicine.

ment for chronometer that would |
sufficiently accurate to enable ma
riner to get his longitude within half
a degree. The earliest chronometers
were smaller than the modern instru-
ment, increased size and strength be-
ing required to withstand the vibra-
ton of the steamship.
How the mariner determines his
longitude by the aid of the chrome
meter is a very simple matter-to
him. Forget about ships and naviga-
ton for the moment and assume that
you are going west from Washington
Your outfit includes reliable watch,
compass, almanac and map.
You start out with Washington OBJ
servatory time. After travelling west
by compass for some days, you consult
the almanac and find that upon the
| following morning the sun will rise at
o'clock. AS the sun comes over the
horizon you know it is o'clock at
your point of observation but your
watch will show Washington time to
be o'clock, or an hour later. Know
ing that an hours difference in time
means a distance of nearly thous-
and miles, you could, by measuring off
that distance on your map, obtain a
fairly accurate knowledge of your To-
cation.
The mariner does somewhat the
same thing in a more nearly accurate
way. His chronometer, or clock, is
set on Greenwich time. At sea he de-
'ermines sun time with a sextant in
tead of an almanac. He then figures
out the difference degree instead of
miles. The result shows him exactly
how far he is east or west of the meri-
dian of Greenwich.
The distance north or south of the
!: equator is determined by another OBJ
servation with the seXtant, into which
the chronometer does not enter, but
after having determined both his long.
'tude and latitude in the manner de.
s"ribed the mariner can consult his
Mart and see the exact position of his
shin.
Thus the importance of having a re-
liable chronometer is revealed, fol
should it play the mariner false hi
might go far out of his course or up
on the rocks.
But the foregoing description of thu
purpose of the chronometer bear!
, about as much relation to the marin
cr's understanding of It as would b,
, the case were we to define a ship a.
vessel to convey persons and things
across the sea. If you wish to reall,
understand chronometers, say from
the viewpoint of a Naval Academ,
graduate, whose hobby has been high

ency Fleet Corporation, in the interest
of preparedness, hopes to meet any
unforeseen chronometer shortage in
way characteristic of American enter
prise. This country has long made
good watches, so instead of having
three chronometers for each ship,
some will have on chronometers and
also two comparing watches. The lat
ter, which are undergoing thorough
test by the U. S. Bureau of Standards,
are considerably larger than a pocket
watch and are made solely with refer
ence to accuracy. They cost much
less than chronometers, and if they
meet full and final tests will be an
! economical substitution.

n;

like responsibilities carried by the
department of this Division
But the department, of which NJ. Beck
er is manager, made good. 1t brought
old chronometers, it tested new ones,
and it hit upon a simple scheme to re-
duce the number required.
To insure accuracy in its chrome
meters, the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton has each carefully overhauled
and tested; but when the Corporation
started to procure chronometers
search was necessary to find man
having thorough knowledge of the
subject from the mechanical stand
point. Finally one turned up, and
needless to say, he was a Yankee.
He is G. r. S. Killam, of Pawtucket,
Rhode Island Mr.. Killam's business
was watches, but with a shipbuilding
grandfather and his father ship
master, he kept the nautical flavor in
the family by mailing chronometers
his hobby. He is now chronometer
production examiner of the outfitting
deDartment. He receives all chrome
n. ters, makes needed repairs and
tests and prepares them for shipment.
One distinguishing and nice thing
~ out fine thermometers is that none
Lars the inscription made in Ger
many" You can't camouflage poor
chronometer so as to make it answer
tho purpose OF coed thermometer,
and Germany, in spite Of her boosted
efficiency, has never eIualled either
French or English artisans when it
comes to workmanship of the highest
order and finish.
In the vault referred 10 there Is an
unusually fine chrolometer, made at
least seventy-five years ago by Dent
of London. The case bears the fol-
lowing inscriptions:

/ The Prussian Prince had to go t.
England for his gift.
When the British Admiralty learned
of the difficulty of procuring goot
chronometers for Americas new mer
chant marine, it sought to heln us on
by sending some over. Among then
was Captain Buckles chronometer.
In some cases private citizens con
tributed valuable instruments theil
sale being more in the nature of {
formality than a profitable bargain.
An Emergency Fleet Corporation
Chronometer, quite as fine as that Sc
lected by the Prussian for Captain

ten the following:
1.-THE previous owner of this, Hon
