agree with Mr.. FcTcy that the main

4 look for important results from
our work in the Schools sad Mr..
Ia-e yesterday at his Office in the
Baltimore and Ohio Central Build
ng We have succeeded in having
re prevention adopted as regu-
ar course in the public schools and
II the introduction OF a small text
eek on the subject. in the city we
have given the children instruction
IN the manner OF sending il, an
Harm and also when not to SEND
one. We were little dubious about
this, thinking it might result III
more false alarms being given by
BOYS to see the engines turn out.
out our warnings about the danger
md the expense of such amusement
nave actually decreased the Lumber
ii such alarms.
But there is an Improvement
among the adults. too. As result
OF the fire prevention camr3.'gn.
October l to 10, last, at least four
more Maryland towns have acquir-
ed modern and effective fire-tGhting
apparatus. These are Hagar,trWn.>
Brunswick. Easton and Preston. Thu
latter town previously had no lire
department. whatever. EastOn has
constructed a number of concrete
.lams in streams out in Talbot coun-
ty, but within reaching distance of
he Easton machines. thus insuHng a
water supply in neighborhoods where
he engines would otherwise be use
less. The lack of water supply IN
rural sections is a serious hindrance
to the successful use of motor en-
gines.
I'VE are arranging to have the
rural fire companies receive the
benefit of the instruction which Is
oe.ng given the Baltimore city fire
men. This will be through the
courtesy of Baltimore Fire Depart
ment. One company at time VIII
be invited to come and join with the
,ity fremen in learning the best
methods of combating fire"

Don't forget the basket ball game
tonight. Camp Holabird arrived to-
day at 113O O'Clock. Friday 13tn,
with 13 men, and they have come to
give old Company &C" a fight. All
superstitious people should be pres

WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK
Why the Watch Has Been Called the
Most Delicate Machine That
Can Be Constructed.

1t Is said that the watch u the
smallest, most delicate machine that
was ever constructed Of the same
number Of parts. About IT'S differ
ent pieces Of material enter Into its
construction, and upward Of twenty
four hundred separate operations are
comprised In Its manufacture.
Certain Of the facts connected with
its performance are simply Incredible.
when considered In total. A black
smith strikes several thousand blows
on his anvil In q day, and II glad when
Sunday comes around; but the roller
jewel Of q watch makes every day,
aud day after day. $4,000 impacts
against the fork. or 157. ESQ., 900 blows
In a year without stop or rest. or g.
153,6OO,OOO IN the short space Of 20
years.
These figures are beyond the grasp
Of our intellects, but the marvel does
not stop here. 1t has been estimated
that the power that moves the watch
Is equivalent to only four times the
force used in a flea's jump: c0nse-
quently 1t might be called 4-flea power.
One horse power would be sufficient
to run go million watches.
Now, the balance wheel 10 moved by
this 4-fiea power one and 4S one-hun-
dredths inches with each vibration
3.558k miles continuously in one
year.
It doesn't take large can Of oil
to lubricate the machine on its $500
mile run. 1t requires one-tenth Of Z
drop Of oil to the entire watch for Z
years service. But 1t has great need
Of that one-tenth Of . drop.

There is q reason for believing
that the European branch Of the
Aryan race had made their way
from treeless steppes and pasture
lands into a country OF forests; for
We find that in this West-Aryan or
European period, when the ancestors
Of the Greeks, the Romans, the Cells
and Teutons were still closely con-
nected, snumber Of words for trees
and birds make their first appear
ance. Our words 'sbeech," "hazel,"
"elm," swallow" "throstle," "star-
ling and "fnch" have been traced
with more or less certainty to this
period, and We also find . number
Of agricultural terms are common to
two or three Of the West-Aryan peo-
ples-"corn" and 'sfurrow," ssbean"
and meal" an ~ear~ Of corn, the
verb to @mow," and the old word for
blowing, to "ear," which i now OBJ

DR.. w. A. BENADOM
MUST FINISH HIS
PRISON SENTENCE


Attempt to have a Jail sentence
of a year and a fine of $1,000 i'm
posed on DR.. W. A. BenaG,om, now
in the federal prison in Leaven-
worth, set aside, failed yesterday.
Benadom was convicted on the
charge of resisting an officer and
was denied a new trial. Before
the commitment papers were issued
federal authorities arraigned Bena-
dom on a charge of perjury in con-
nection with the securing of drugs,
charging that he represented him
self to be a licensed physician. He
was sentenced to year and a day
at Leavenworth. His term is now
about to expire.
The plea for the dismissal of
the state charge was made by
Chaplain Allen of the Leayenworth
prison, who claims that Benadom'
wife may die if her husband is
made to spend II more months be-
hind the bars.
The county prosecutor refused
the plea on the ground that Bena-
dom's case is not one for leniency.
and on the prisoners release from
Leavenworth +. will be returned to
the county Jail to serve his SEN
tence in the state case.
