The largest watch ever known to
be manufactured is being exhibited
in the priceless collection of the gov
eminent and housed in the National

lis l n inches thick and has a main
spring feet long. 1t is an exact du-
.plicate of the standard 23-jewel

ing synthetic stones. The t1mep1ece
was constructed at cost OF $4,000

try. The "train," the wheels which
run it, is of solid gold, with the cogs
in the teeth treated specially to hard
en- them against wear. The winding
wheel is of steel. Although 1t has
|nine-foot handspring the watch Is
run by weight.

TELEPHONE RATES
AROUSE BRITAIN
Increase i'm Charges Has Aroused Public
and Some Folks Advocate
Phone Boycott

LONDON. Jan. 29-While New York
and many other American cities are or
have been scenes of hot argument over
increases in street railway or subway
fares, Great Britain has Its bone of dis
pute in an increase of telephone rates.
The business interests and general
public have suffered an attack of what
some call ''telephonitis" as a result of
an announcement by the postmaster
general, that he would increase the tel
eph0ne charges on April / TO present sub
scribers and Immediately to new sub
scribers
These increases are based on q report
of a select committee of the house of COM
mons, and call for an annual rental OF
eight pounds, ten shillings, against the
old charge of five pounds. The present
fee of three pence (siX cents) at pub
lie call box will remain for short dis
tanceS, but longer distances will be pro-
pOrtionately increased. These charges
have to be made to meet an estimated
charge of 10.OOO.000 pounds for this year,
or an increase of LAT per cent over pre-
war rates.
The volume of criticism which the first
official statement called forth, has since
grown considerably and not only have
resolutions of protest been sent to the
government from every chamber of COM
merce in the country, but combined ae-
ton is being taken by the various cham
DtIS WIFI IL view 10 SOillc dllSN AAo
what is called the ubiquitous IMPOSE
ton of higher charges for a service which
is admittedly inefficient.
Some are even advocating boycott,
but conservative opinion inclines to the
belief that this would seriously injure
the service in future.
\ deputation, representing the press
of the empire. protested to the pOstmas-
ter general but received little encourage
ment. The postmaster pointed out that
wages in the department have trebbled
and the cost of plant more than doubled.
The expenditure of the department In
1914 was 5.952,000 pounds and in
192O-21 aggregated 146OO,0O0 pounds.
1t is claimed by the business eommun-
| ity, that since the government took over
the telephone service from the National
Telephone company. which paid dlvl-
dend of six per cent. the service has
grown increasingly inefficient and expen-
sive. and the strongest efforts are being
made towards a pOstponement OF the pro-
posed increases until the whole matter
has been inquired into and debated IN
parliament.
The chief cause of contention is the
abolition of the old fiat rate of five
| pounds yearly with unlimited calls. and
| the imposition of a sliding scale OF
charges which will mean heavy addi-
| ton to the bills of commercial houses
| throughout the kingdom.

WOMEN TAKES SIDES m
CONTROVERSY over Police
TELEPHONE OPERATOR IN MiNGo
SAYS TROOPERS BEHAVE
LIKE GENTLEMEN.

Not only the men but the women
seem TO have taken sides in the DIFF.
ferences which have arisen during the
past year and a quarter in MinEo
county. Some time ago a young WON.
an who evidently belonged to a family
OF strong union sympathies wrote an
open letter TO the girls OF Mingo coun-
ty asking them to have nothing &c do
with the state police stationed In that
county for the purpose OF preventing
loss OF life and damage TO property.
Among other things, she said:
III all the young women OF this
country would treat them with cold
ness. show them less friendship and
not be so soft toward them. how long
do you suppose they would hang
around7
III all you women and girls could
see as do. I'm afraid that every
state trooper In West Virginia would
die bachelor. and for all that care,
be could die the death OF hound dog"
In reply TO this Mae Chain, a tele-
phone operator at Matewan, wrote a
letter, which was published in which
she declared that the state troopers
have behaved themselves like gentle
mn In Mingo county and that the at
tscks upon them are due to their sue
cess in checking lawlessness. She
continued:
Perhaps the girl who wrote the
above article has been disillusioned.
for since she lives in the country, she
has no opportunity to know the boys
about whom she has written, and
doubtless II she had lived in the
town Of Matewan for the past year,
and could have seen the difference in
the condition at present and that Of a
few months ago, brought about by our
State Police. she would feel more char.
liable toward them.
AS a closing phrase / wish to say
that the town of Mutewan in general
is proud OF the protection it has. The
State Police stationed here, as well as
In other parts of the county. are like
able, honorable and self-respecting
gentlemen"

Not For Sale.

The man who had taken n fancy TO
the old Maine farmhouse, surrounded
by its acres of rolling green, sat on
the back porch with the aged owner
and his housekeeper. AS delicatcly as
possible he preached the subject of
sale. He knew that the farmer had a
son in New York who was prospecting,
and he mentioned this, the New York
Sun says, as an nducement for the old
gentleman to make this trade.
The old farmer shook his head de.
terminedly
That's the very reason" he said
"that ] don't want to sell. II it was
mt for that boy | might be tempted
to let the old place 60"
"lt's this way" he continued, in a
subdued tone "He was born here.
He went to school not more than three
miles from here. He knows every path
in the woods. He has played all over
this ground as far as you can see.
Gust across the field over there is
the family burying- ground. His moth
er and brother and sister are all there,
side by side.
81 guess you're right when you say
he won't want to come back He's got
to be quite city man, and | never ex-
pect to see him come back here to
live. Perhaps 'tisn't natural that he
should.
81 haven't never asked him to come
back, and don't think | ever SHALL
The old voice shook little, then went
steadily on: "But some OF these DAYS
when he gets along where I am now
maybe he'll get tired.
"Of course he'll have his own home
in the city by that time, where he
can sit down and take it easy. hope so
But after that it may be some conso-
lation TO him to know that he'll be sent
back hereto lie beside mother and me
and the others. That's why the farm
isn't for sale"
