Petrograd.-The Mohammedan Tar

Of Kavan, have ordered their wives
and daughters each to sew half a
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 a tab of the bow formed by tying
hahdkerchiefs 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 a symbol. To make II

their ships progress from day to day.
This system was uncertain, and
caused a great many shipwrecks.
Longitude is merely the difference

earth's surface, and 1t became appar-

by accepted tables. II the time Of q

The chief prize offered by the com.

Washington.-Among the busiest
people supplying the United States
with war materials are the makers Of
chronOmeters. Great care and pre-
cision are necessary in turning out
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 a shortage in the ordinary sup
ply, while the eQuipping Of the new
American merchant marine Is creating
an unprecedented demand for new in
struments. Each of the 1000 ships to
be added to the national cargo-carrying
feet under the shipping boards con-
struction program, will carry two, and
many of them three chronometers.
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. Chronometers are also
made In America, though the English
type still is most esteemed by sailors.
In ordinary times good chronome-
ter costs about $500. The present price
Is $500 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, and to expedite the
output Of the manufacturers.
From six months to a year and a
half are necessary to make and adjust
a chronometer. The mechanism is of
the finest metals, and specially adapt
ed to resistance to extremes Of tenn
perature. A high-grade chronOmeter
will keep just as good time If kept in
cold storage six months as In ordinary
temperature, while voyage in the
tropics will not seriously change its
time-keeping qualities.
In appearance a chronometer is a
small, metal-faced clock. 1t is kept In
a wooden case, usually. Of mahogany,
and is swung on gimbals, to keep 1t
always on level. 1t is sensitive to
rough handling, and care is always
taken not 20 jar 1t.
Errors Are Noted.
No clock or watch has ever yet kept
perfect time, SO there is always a
slight gain or loss to a chronometer.
For this reason the chronometer's rate
Of daily gain or loss Is determined BY
observation ashore, and card show
ing the rate Is made out, and deliv-
cred with the instrument. This rate
Of error is allowed in all notations Of
time made from the instrument for
working up observations made at sea.
A gain or loss Of a second day is
considered "large rate" for a good
instrument.
The chronometer completes, with
the compass and sextant, the trio Of
indispensable instruments required in
modern navigation. By its aid, longi-
tude, or the east or west position Of =
ship, Is determined.
Longitude baffled all navigators un-
til the chronometer came into use in
1735. The ancients and later naviga-
tors, including all the great discover
ers, could find their latitude by OBJ
servations Of the suns height, but they
could determine their longitude only
by "dead reckoning" or estimating
