FEW KNOW FACE OF WATCH

Something about the queer way in

can be learned In very simple way.

Roman or an Arabic mineral. II he
does not admit that he does not know.
he can be set down as really excep-
tional person--one In about q thousand
or s0-and after he looks at his watch
to see just how that figure Is made.
he will have the further surprise Of
finding that It Is marked with neither
70" nor "vI."
This test recently was applied at q
meeting OF nigh railway officials In
st. Louis and one Of them passed It,
though they. IL anybody. might have
been expected to know just how their
watches were made. The rallroaders
laughed at each other and seemed to
be q little Inundated. but really there
was not much need. II any, for feeling
that emotion.
None Of them knew how Q O'Clock was
marked, for the excellent reason that
knowledge would have been quite
worthless In their business and only
would have taken up room In their

tion. They all could tell time." and

Capture Of principals in a drug

by the police to result from the
arrest Sunday night of John

tained in letters and memoranda
in Rowzie's possession will lead
to the arrest shortly of at least
six drug distributors.

Rowzie. who was held under

negro from whom he purchased the
narcotics. Rowzie said he feared the
