The Swedish Secret.

The only trouble was that Mr..
Johannson Of Sweden would not tell
any one how he made those surfaces
perfactly fiat. Mind you, in any good
machine shop you might make set
of precision gauge blocks. as they are
called, Just like Mr.. Johannson's, one
by one. doing all the work by hand.
It would be very long, slow Job. Mr..
Johannson's great advantage was that
no had discovered some way OF making
these things BY machinery. rapidly and
in quantity. No one else in the vorid
could do it. All the world went 20
Sweden for its gauge blocks. Before
the war, Johannson got about $500 a
set for them, which was probably twice
what IL cost him 20 make them. and
during the war this price more than
doubled. while Il was hard 70 get them
at any price because the demand ex-
| ceeded the supply.
Now we set back to the Bureau OF
/ Ordnance, which had a great and
/ pressing need for precision gauge
| blocks. 1t also had in it's employ one
| Major W. e. Hoke. who had an idea
| He thought he saw how precision
| gauge blocks could be made by
machinery. His idea roughly. was

as possible TO the size desired. There
/ would of course. be error, What
! Major Hoke thought. and afterwart

shifted in position between the twS
surface, set 20 grind the blocks as near

COUNTY CLERKS NOTIFIED
OF HIGH COURTS RCLlNt
Attorney General Notifies All Count,
Clerks Not TO Count Absent
Voters Ballots.

Attorney General Charles |. Daw.
son mas sent this letter to all COUNTY
Clerks in Kentucky:
November / 1921.
Dear Sir
The Court of Appeals today in thc
case of Clark VS.. Nash, held that thai
portion of the Absent Voter Law
which permits persons outside of the
county to vote by mail in the general
election, under the Absent Voter Law
Is unconstitutional, and that no per
son has right to cast his vote in tho
general election except he is at the
polling place in person. The court
held, however, that that portion of the
Absent Voter Law which permits per-
sons outside of the county to regis
ter by mail is valid
therefore, you should not deliver
to the election officers any ballots that
come into your office which have been
voted by absent voters, and, if you
have already sent these ballots to the
various precincts, you should in
struct the election officers not to open
the envelopes containing same and
not not to deposit such ballots in the
ballot box, and to count them for no
purpose whatever.
"Of course, you will understand
that you should disregard any further
requests from absent voters that you
send them ballots.
Il am sending this letter to each
county court clerk in the state, for
fear that some of them may not be
advised of this opinion of the Court
Of Appeals.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES l. DAWSON,
"Attorney General"
