Since October 1 the radio station at Cavite, cooperating with the Philip pine bureau of posts and the Manila observatory, has been sending the time signals of the 120th meridian east of Greenwich at II q. m. and 10 D. m. every day, says Science.
 For the purpose of sending time sig nals. the transmitting clock of the Ma nila observatory is connected with the Cavite wireless station through the bu- reau of posts Manila observatory time signals begin at 10:55 a. m. and 9:55 D. m., standard time of the 12Oth me ridian east of Greenwich, and continue for five minutes. During this interval every tick of the clock Is transmitted, except the 2Sth, 29th. 54th 55th 56th, 57th. 5Sth and 59th of each minute.

America Fills the Need.

For years 1t has been the custom for American manufacturers to obtain each season a large number of Paris garments and readapt them tO the needs of American women. Paris has always taken the lead in suggesting possible styles. But the war has brought American designs to the fore, although 1t has by no means served to discourage Paris artists. Now many garments wholly American are being shown, and the fact has been clearly proved this country need never in future play second fiddle. The fact that fabrics and trimmings are scarce and that wool, especially, must be con- served has probably worked to the ad- vantage of American designers and Would-be designers. For simplicity has been the rule.

 Amid this multitude of haggard, un- washed, UnShaven, dead beat males, I noticed two Italian ladies treading delicately over the rough ballast of the railway track They had naturally brought with them in that flight the most valuable of their possessions, which were of a kind conveniently car ried on their persons. Against this gray background of mud and rubbish and disbanded army their two fig ures glittered with a brilliance that would have been conspicuous in the Rue de la PaiX.
 Heavy sable furs and mufTs almost bowed their shoulders each finger had two or three rings that flashed in the light: round their necks were gold chains hung with pendants, and yet instead of the air of self-satisfied os- tentation that might well have gone with a display so lavish, they were only two nathetically little, frightened, per plcXed faces, and an uncertain gait that did not promise much further progress along that ankle-wrenching railway line.-G.

TAILOR ARRESTED FOR THEFT
Worked Two Days-Stole Watch
From EmpIoyer-Captured in
Cedar Rapids.

Clyde Westfall, tailor who was
employed at the v. T. Anderson shop
in Denison last Friday and Saturday,
is now confined in the county jail
charged with stealing watch from
Mr.. Anderson, valued at $4,000.
Westfall came to Denison last Fri
day, it is said, from Sioux City and
asked Mr.. Anderson for few days
employment. He worked in the shop
Friday and Saturday and told Mr.. An
derson he intended leaving Saturday
night for Cedar Rapids. When Ander-
son went home to supper Saturday
evening about seven o'clock he missed
his gold watch from his vest. He at
once notified Marshal Weeks who
phoned to authorities at Carroll to
intercept the man, but not being able
to find him on the train going through
there the police at Cedar Rapids were
notified. Sunday afternoon authori-
ties stated the man had been arrested
at hotel there and was being held.
Marshal Weeks then went to Cedar
Rapids Monday and returned Tues
day morning with Westfall who had
Anderson's watch on him when arrest
ed.
Mr.. Anderson states that Westfall
has confessed stealing the watch. His
preliminary hearing has been set for
Saturday of this week.
