43O Clocks at Capitol
Need Winding Weekly

WashInEton-There are in the Cap
itol at Washington 430 clocks, every
one of which has to be wound once a
week. To set them all back an hour
a few days hence|will be in itself quite
job. ...
Sightseers who visit that great edi-
fee fail to learn from the guides or to
notice for themselves many things
that are interesting. For instance, IL
they would observe the brownish-
gray walls of the rotunda they would
understand just what was the color Of
the White House Quilt of sandstone
from the same quarry) before 1t was
burned in 1914.
The outside of the building (bar-
ring the iron dome and white marble
wings) is of the same material. and
to paint 1t is task that occupies
thirty-five painters for thirteen
weeks.
So thick and massive is the ma
sonry structure that the interior is
like a series of caverns-always cool
even on the hottest days of a Wash
ington summer.
Repairs cost $4,000 a year. and
mainly for this purpose workshops
are maintained in the sub-basement.
There is a paint shop, a carpenters
shop, a plumbers shop and a machine
shop down kelow ground.
The building has $40 windows and
is illuminated by $4,000 electric lamps
Of sixteen candlepower or the equiva-
lent. Light, heat and power are, sup
piled from a big plant several blocks
distant at q cost of $4,000 per an

BEAR SEASON TO
OPEN TOMORROW
If You Run Across One After
Midnight 1t Is All Right to
Bag Him; Quail Oct. u

While the open season for small
game, such as squirrel and quail, Will
not come in until October 20, or, le-
gally, until October 81, real big game,
such as bear, may be shot on and
after Tuesday, October 10, but it is
hardly likely there will be big rush
to the mountains for this kind of
game, notwithstanding the fact that
bear are unusually plentiful on Centre
county mountains this year. In fact'
a few have displayed particular
fondness to come out of the mountain
Businesses on various occasions and
exhibit themselves to the travelling
public.
So far as quail are concerned they
are a nonentity in Centre county ana
not worth bothering about. There
are some squirrel in woodlands where
nuts abound, but so far they have not
been seen in any great numbers, ana
hunters are likely to find the pursuit
of small game a rather irksome sport
this yea. Ordinarily pheasants pro-
vided the best hunting and attracted
good shots from all over the state, but
this year Centre county has been clos
to the hunting of these toothsome
BIRDS and local hunters are regarding
1t as a blessing in disguise, because.
so many hunters from other counties
hogged the sport every year and the
man who went out for only day at
a time stood little chance of getting
anything.
When the wild turkey season comes
in it is probable that greater num-
ber of hunters will be attracted to the
woods. as they are reported quite
plentiful, but the real hunting will
not begin until the opening of the
deer season. Last season there were
more deer killed in the Centre coun-
ty mountains than in any season for
several years, and woodsmen report
deer very plentiful this year. Just
why this is the case is hard to under
stand when nothing but bucks can be
killed and the kill last year was about
$50

Game Birds Differ Greatly
in Their Flying Speed

4 most interesting problem in
shooting, observes an oldtimer, is that
of studying the variation in the

crow may be taken as an example
of the slower flying bird, with rate
of thirty-five to fifty-five feet a Sec
ond and with an average speed of
forty-five miles an hour, while many
species of hawks attain the remark
ably fast speed of 200 feet a second.
