African Grapes Sent Here.

Dried black grapes are being pro-
duced in South Africa at the present
time solely for the purpose Of supply
ing the requirements Of the American
market, the growers hoping for a
minimum price of from 10 to IL cents
per pound delivered in New York,
Consul Charles ]. Pisar, Cape Town,
informs the Department of Com
merce. According to South African
authorities the 1922 crop of dried
black grapes amounted to $50 tons,
while the growers hope for an estimat-
ed yield of 1900 tons this year 1t is
said that the shippers of these grapes
are going to the utmost trouble in or
der TO have the very best possible
quality produced, and there seems no
doubt that the quality Of this seasons
output shows a marked Improvement
over the output Of last year.

Causes Of Cotton Gin Fires.

investigations by the United States
Department Of Agriculture have shown
that great many Of the fires in cotton
gins, which In some seasons cause
losses in excess Of a million dollars,
are caused by static electricity which
collects in certain parts Of the ma
chlnery as result of friction. There
are other causes, such as matches In
the cotton. overheated bearings, fric-
ton between the saws and cotton stuck
in the ribs, and sparks caused by
pieces Of metal and other foreign par
ticles passing through, but static cleo
tricity Is an important cause and one
which may be controlled.
If certain parts Of the machinery in
the gin are grounded by proper wiring
any electricity will be drained off and
no sparks will be formed. The De-
partment Of Agriculture has issued a
circular, No. 271, In which the system
Of wiring is explained and shown In
diagram.

SPEED REDUCED TO FIGURES
Just What the Expression "Doino Six
ty Miles an Hour" Really Con-
veys to Export.


Going at the zata aS sixty miles an
hour II m expression dear to many
writer's, both of fiction and Of fact.
Just what does this mean from the
prosaic standpoint Of science7 What
If an automobile proceeding at the rate
Of go miles an hour should come to a
sudden stop, such as, for instance, by
striking heavy bridge abutment? A
fair idea Of the completeness Of the
wreck may be had by imagining the
machine falling from q height Of 120
feet or from the top Of a ten-story
office building. An object falling from
height of 12O feet would have the
same velocity at the instant of strik-
ing the ground as the motorcar would
have when travelling 60 miles an hour.
The energy possessed by a 2,400-
pound automobile travelling at the rate
Of 60 miles an hour is 100000 foot
pounds, which Is the same as that Of
a body weighing 1000 pounds at the
instant of striking the ground from a
drop of 200 feet.
Were a resistance of 5000 pounds
applied to the automobile it would
come to rest in q distance of A feet
In one second Of time, and in coming
to rest would be doing work at an av-
erage rate Of over 257 horsepower

TWO WATCHES SOLVE MIDDLE
Sniffens Has No More Trouble keep-
Ing Track Of Daylight Saving
and .stapdaNd .'TaasA.

Sniffens is travelling salesman who
Is on the road most Of the time and
whose wanderings take him across the
continent a couple Of times a year. 1t
will be week or 30 before he makes
his next trip, but already he has be-
gun to make preparations, and one OF
the first things he did was to get out
what he calls his second watch. For
with the advent of daylight saving
each year Sniffens, who travels to sub
urban points just to keep his hand in
between times, has great difficulty in
keeping track Of the schedules, due to
the difference between railroad time
tables and daylight time.
Sniffens has found that his second"
watch, which is of silver, while his
regular timepiece is Of gold, has solved
the problem. He simply sets the silver
watch to correspond to daylight saw
Ing time while his regular watch IL
kept at the standard time of the par
ticular section of the country he hap
pens to be in.
The. silver watch is used to keep city
appointments and to keep tabs on SUBJ
urban trains, while the gold watch
serves the purpose Of being always
right for trains which run on standard

DON'T VISIT WITH BUSY MAN
Experience Of Colonel Walters With
President Harrison Might Well
Act as Warning.

We once heard busy man say he

Thereby hangs tale Capper's Week

H. Waters was brigaded alongside Of
Gen. benjamin Harrison's brigade for
several months during the Civil war,
and the two men became great friends.
After the war General Harrison re-
turned to Indiana and became Presi-
dent Of the United States. Colonel
Waters became one Of the Vests dis
tinguished lawyers. One time Waters
went to Washington on business and
while there decided that 1t would be
an act Of discourtesy II he didn't 90
up and call on his old army pal, Presi-
dent Harrison, then In the White
House. So he made himself known to
the Presidents secretary. walk right

had his nose down to his desk and

feet to attract the Presidents atten-

he coughed. Whereupon President
Harrison looked up and growled.
"Well, what do you want hereY' mot

on his heels and walked out.

NAVY'S PANCAKE HAT TO GO
Extensive ohaHsss Efse Nay Be Made
In Other Details Of the Sailors
Uniform.

Although the details have not az
yet been worked out or in fact agreed
to, in all probability there will be some
important changes In the uniform for
the enlisted men Of the navy. 1t is
understood that Secretary DENLY, as
well as the higher ranking officers in
the Navy department, has taken an in
terest in the subject. There is a gen.
eral agreement among the authorities
that there should be some changes In
the regulations as we'll as in the cut OF
the uniform Of the navy enlisted per-
sonnet. A change in the petty officers
nrst-class uniform has now been prac-
tically approved. -
As for the bluejackets, there Is d.
versity of opinions even among those
who are urging change. There is con-
siderable support for proposition to
give the bluejacket different and
dressier uniform to be worn while on
duty or on leave ashore. A uniform
for the bluejackets with a cap Ikea
commissary steward with long trousers
and a double-breasted coat Is being
well received. This uniform would
have gun-metal buttons and would be
worn with a white shirt. The cut Of
the trousers would approach that Of
the civilian.
Every Recommendation or letter that
has been received in the Navy depart
ment Is adverse to the present fiat hat
for bluejackets. There is no doubt that
1t will go and the enlisted men will be
given q new cap.-Army and Navy

Romance Gone From Gold Fields.

Gold stampedes have lost their ro-
mantle trappings. An honest-to-gOOd-
ness stampede after real gold has just
tcken place in Batavia and Kameel-
boom district, South Africa.
There were no six-guns, such as
distinguished the mushing for precious
metal in the western states and Aus
tralia. Boots, spurs, liquor, gambling
paraphernalia have gone by the boards.
None of those once necessary ad-
juncts to the proper stalking Of a
claim remain essential. Stampeders
Of 1923 Travelled in automobiles and
motorcycles.
Within two hours Of the time the
first stake was planted the field had
been entirely covered. The show was
over and nobody was killed.
The new field Is confidently ex-
pected to produce gold, but the least
observing can see that IT will never

LITERALLY DRESSED TO KILL
Warriors Of Old Were Dandies in
Their Costumes, but Famous
Fighters In the Field.

The Greeks won the battle of Mara

at their good fortune, for never be
fore that day had they dared to face
the terrible Persians, whose noblemen,
formidable warriors, clad themselves
In canary yellow silk trousers, en-
broidered with meandering jade green
vines sprayed with blossoms crimson
and blue; their pink silk jackets were
adorned with appliQued lions and
tigers elephants and rhinoceroses, os-
triches and peacocks Of the gayest
hues; they cased their throats with
triple and quadruple necklaces Of gold
hlgree set with every jewel known
and their arms In similar bracelets
and armlets by the dozen; their
fingers were loaded with rings; their
turbans blazed with 1ewelsd aigrettes;
the hits and scabbards Of their scimi-
tars were encrusted with diamonds,
emeralds and rubies; yet they were
always ready to wade ankle deep In
gore or knee In mud, at any crisis Of
battle or match.
The traditions Of such fashions
have, in many years Of the world, last
