FEW DIAL MAKERS

TINS authority made the surprising
statement that thcre are only six OK
pert dial makers in London. The alter
ing OF tho tiny Watches would be very
difficult since TIE figures are already
made as small as possible II the idea
should come into force am told that
most new watches would have tho
twcnty-tour numbers set in one circle,
all in Arabic.
mo ono seems to know what would
happen about the striking of clocks,
Tho gear would have to be entirely al
tered TO enable them to strike the twenty
four strokes at midnight. And it is sug-
gested that the most that could be done
would be to have varying tones for the
two sets of hours"

WATCHMAKERS OPPOSED

OTe finds no enthusiasm among watch
ana CLOCK repairers for the idea of adopt-
ing the twenty-four hour time system
IN this country. They do not take the
formation of a committee very seriously
think 1t great waste Of public money
that 1t mas been set up at a most in
opportune moment and that probably
nothing will come of its conclusions.
THE scheme is altogether impractic-
able. said one of the leading makers
If it were decided to adopt the TWENTY
four-hour clock we should at once be
plunged into state of chaos II would
be easy enough to alter the dial of a
watch or a clock by putting the second
set OF figures IN an inner circle and
printing them in different color. The
new figures, Of course, would have to be
in Arabic numerals. whether the first
were Arabic or Roman. and this would
spoil the distinctive character of most
OF the watches. They would be hybrds
Even public clocks could be altered in
| this way, and we should have Big Ben
transformed OF course people would
not be able to see the figures at such a
great distance but the inconvenience
| would be slight
"The trouble is that with the pres
emf shortage of labor when our ordi-
| nary repairs may take eight months,
| 1t would take about twelve years TO
, alter all the dials, and you can imagine
what confusion would reign meantime.
At the beginning of the war the me-
chanics were taken by the government.
as theirs were regarded as an unessen-

IS SPROH|B|T|ON
ELECTION ISSUE?

WESTERNlLLE, o., Feb. H.
/ viii the issue of prohibition figure
/ in the nomination OF presidential
candidates and the election there
after9
The Anti-Saloon League of America,
/ through a statement issued today by
f. II. Cherrington, secretary of its
executive committee, endeavors to
answer that question by declaring
that prohibition, or rather safe
guarding of prohibition. will be n
very live issue in not only the presi-
Dental campaign but in the election
of congressman. On this matter the
statement says:
Prohibition is here, and, as We
believe. TO stay. The question at
issue is not whether prohibition is or
is not desirable. That was ques-
tion on which men might honestly
differ before prohibition became the
law of the land and part OF the fed
ef0l COHStltutlOHs iiiuuilu VI PAV-
hibition was made possible only by
will of the majority, and that same
will. working through the lawful
processes by which prohibition be-
came law, can. IL II chooses, take
prohibition out of the constitution.
THE question at issue now is
shall the law be enforced? To that
question there can be but one an
swer. Whether man believes in
prohibition or not, he must comply
with the law and aid in its enforce
ment or be lawless citizen. As the
Anti-Saloon league sees ii, two i'm
portant things are involved in the
coming nominations and elections;
Firstly, that the chief executive OF
this nation, who is the chief law en-
forcement official, must be man
wholly committed to the enforcement
policy; and, second, that a congress
must be elected that will take no
backward step in prohibition legis-
lation."

the wireless is capable OF handling

MANY GERMANS
CLAIM DAMAGES

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS
Coblens, Germany, Jan, ?l.tBy Maill
Claims for damages to streets,
buildings. farms and even individuals
all reputed to have been done by Am.
erican soldiers or American equip
ment OF some kind since the Army OF
Occupation reached the Rhine, aggre-
gate something more than 100000
marks. Those allowed total approxi'
mately 250,0o0 marks, Many claims
are unique and some without any JUS
tification,
A woman who contended that her
facial appeura had been marred
for life, owing to cuts caused by fly
ing glass due to an explosion at an
ammunition dump, sent in the modest
claim for ESQ marks, II was allowed.
Another woman, whose husband
had been killed by an American mill
tary policeman who was chasing dis
tributors OF contrahand liquor, sub
mitted claim to the Americans for
$4,000 marks, contending that her
sole support had been taken from
her. The Americans maintained that
the German had been killed by the
American soldier who was acting
within his rights in lire Of duty. The
claim was disapproved,
Some of the claims are humorous.
Last summer, the Eighty-ninth divi-
sion borrowed II goat for a circus at
its headquarters. Recently n claim
was filed with the American town
major asking damages on the conten'
ton that the health OF the goat had
been injured. This claim was pigeon
holed.
A Rhineland farmer recently de-
manded five marks for bean pole
alleged TO have been stolen by an
American soldier. An army commits
sion heard the cese and threw out the
claim on the ground there was no
evidence to show that an American
had committed the theft.

The prize for the play, was offered
by the Illinois council for Nursing

There are far too few nurses in the
United States to meet the needs OF
normal times, it was said at the head
quarters of the National Organization
for Public Health Nursing, and the
shortage during the influenza epid-

Me- X|CAN MONEY
SITUATION BAD

Ell PASO. TEXAS, Feb. 14.---Lsis
Cabrera. Secretary of the Mexican
Treasury. has assured the Mexican
people, ina interview in the Excel
sior that the Mexican government
does not at present contemplate an is
sue of paper money. There has been
some anxiety in Mexican business cir
cles regarding the possibility OF such
an, issue.
Senior Cabrera stated that other
measures were being studied by the
government to relieve the situation
resulting from the scarcity Of silver
in most of the world markets; but
the nature of these measures was dis
closed.
American statistics are quoted by
the Excelsior to show that the short
age of the white metal is due to a
monopoly obtained by India and
China. Between 1913 and 1918, these
two countries accumulated 100000
900 troy ounces of silver-or seven
eighths OF the worlds output, it is
asserted.
Commenting editorially on the fin
ancial situation, the paper says:
Credit has been lost. All of us
have lost 1t. but especially the gov
ernment. And for this reason. to in
sure the success of another issue of
paper money, it would be necessary
to surround it with all kinds OF pre-
enthusiastically that of not i'm
posing it on the people. The voluntary
cooperation of the public should be
sought"

MARKET PLACE
FOR ALL WORLD

LONDON, Jan. 10 (By Mail) -
Plans for the great Marche du Monde,
or meeting place for the buyers of
the world. which is to be established
in Paris in two years, contemplate the
erection of vast building nine times
the size of Trafalgar Square and con-
tanning not only 5000 shops but
many special features, including the
most luxurious club and the largest
banquet hall in the world. Details Of
the scheme were given here by Sir
Charles Dundas. secretary Of the As
sociation of Great Britain and France.
THE object" he said, lis to give
producers and buyers of the world
the facility to perform all their trans
actions in one place.
at will be the only-building in the
world where the rentals will decrease
according to the length of the leases.
and where the tenants will be consid-
cred as valued clients. and not as
objects OF speculation.
The building will be Of six stories.
with a frontage Of $50 feet. II will
be nine times the size Of Trafalgar
Square, and will cost approximately
100000 pounds.
This enormous building, contin-
ued Sir Charles Dundas. "will con-
tain 5000 shops. the most luxurious
club IN the world for buyers and pro-
ducers, swimming and Turkish baths,
gymnasium, restaurant. grill room,
roof garden, several lecture-rooms,
industrial cinema. and the worlds
largest banqueting room.
Briefly. what is contemplated is
the erection and operation Of verit-
able city, in which 1t may reasonably
be estimated there will be a floating
population of manufacturers, produ-
GERS, merchants, buyers and the nec-
essary employees, exceeding 10000
people,"
Sir Charles added that the advan-
tages of this huge project to the Brit
ish buyers and sellers would be enor-
nous.
"One of the principal objects Of
having this worlds market in Paris,
he said, 'fs because the French capi-
tai is the pivot of the railway centres
of Europe, and the advice of the buy
ers of the world has been taken on
this matter"
