HOUR CLASS. OF
PURITAN DAYS
REAL FIND
Very Few Genuine Massachu-
sets Bay Timepieces to Be
Found Nowadays

The collector who can boast Of q
genuine Colony Of Massachusetts,
Bay hour glass Is indeed to be en-
We'd. the only wonder being that
there are so few Of these time.
keepers to be. found when there
were so many in the days of the
colonials.
In the Colony of Massachusetts,
Bay more than two centuries ago
an hour glass stood before the
Puritan preacher. and was turned
by a tithing man when the preach
err began his sermon. If he stopped
long before the sand ran out, his
pious hearers were dissatisfied; II
he continued long after, they grew
impatient.
The hour glass is q modification
Of the clepsydra which il a gradu-
ated, transparent vase filled with
liquid which slowly trickled or
stole away through a little aperture
in the bottom. The receding height
marked the passage Of the hours.
The hour glass substitutes fine sand
for water, as something which will
neither freeze nor evaporate and
which, when the glass is full, will
run little faster than when 1t is
nearly empty. It was known be-
fore the Christian era, and has been
used by nearly all nations.
Many Of the early churches were
furnished with ornamental stands
to hold the hour glass, and some
merciful preachers used half hour
glasses and kept within the limits.
These timekeepers fingered along
in country churches for many
years, but ceased to be in anything
like general demand aftAr about
1850.
For rough purposes of keeping
time on board ship, sand glasses
were employed and it is curious to
note that hour and half hour
glasses were used for this purpose
in the British navy as recently as
the year 1889. The very baby Of
the hour glass family was a
twentyteight second affair which
assisted in determining the speed
Of the vessel. The log.line- was
divided by knots at intervals of
forty-seven feet three inches, and
this distance would go into a nauti-
cal mile ais many times as twenty
eight seconds would go into, an
hour. When the line was thrown
The Washington times., 1924-06-19


overheard the mariner counted the
number Of knots slipping through
his fingers while his eyes were
fixed on the tiny emptying sand
glass, and in this way 80 many
.'kncts" an hour denoted the ships
speed in miles.
In the British House Of Com
mons, even at the present time,
two.minute glass is used in the
preliminary to q division" which
is a method of voting wherein the
members leave their seats and go
either into the affirmative or mega
tive lobby. It was an ancient Gus.
tom to put an hour glass as an
emblem that the sands of life had
run out, into. coffins at burials.--

MOVEMENT OF POTATOES
FROM SHORE HAS STARTED
Movement Heavy From Two Virginia Counties This Week
Peninsula Produce Exchange Reports Prices For
"Red Crescents" Thursday Was About $3.50

There has been quite heavy move
ment of Cobblers from the Eastern
Shore of Virginia this week. The Pc
ninsula Produce Exchange reports
having moved quite number of cars
from Northampton county under their
"Red Crescent" brand at prices rang
ing from $3.75 to $4.00 per barrel f.
o. b. Movement all along the Shore
is increasing from day to day and the
Exchange expects to be much heavier
in the potato deal next week.
Taken all together, markets on po-
tatoes are much better than they were
ten days ago. This is due to the fact
that the Carolinas have about cleaned
up their crops, which were of rather
poor quality this year. For a period
of about the next two weeks Norfolk
and the Shore should have the call of
the morkets, and if potatoes are not

Grand Officers Entertained
By Crescent Chapter O.E.S.

An interesting meeting was held
in the Masonic Lodge room Monday
night of this week when the Grand
officers of the Grand Chapter O. E. S.
Of Maryland paid their annual visit
to Crescent Chapter. About ninety
members of the order were present
and these included guests from Tenn
peranceville, Cr.sfeld,. Berlin and
other chapters.
At the close of the meeting re-
freshments were served and a short
program rendered. One of the fea-
lures of this entertainment were the
vocal selections rendered by Mrs.
William Costen, of New Haven, Conn.
Little Miss Jeanne Young made a
most charming presentation speech
and Master Donald and Beulah Bunce
contributed their part of the even
ing's entertainment.

P0C0M0KE CITY COUNCIL
EFFECTS ORGANIZATION
Gouernor Richie Placed In
Nomination For President

Maryland is highly honored in hav.
ing man whom the nation thinks
worth of presentation as a candidate
for the presidential nomination.
A. c. Richie was placed before the
National Convention by Howard
Bruce, and the reports tell that he
was cheered by a vigor second only
to that shown when McAdoo anC
Smith were named.
He, McAdoo, and Smith were the
only nominees accorded a parade af.
ter his name was pronounced, and the
demonstration lasted twenty minutes
The opinion prevails that, as the
breach between the two leading can.
didates grows wider, Richie has g
most excellent chance to come in as
one of the nominees on the ticket
perhaps the leading one.
The nation could do nothing better
and all Marylanders are watching
closely the trend of events in Madison
Square Garden.

7lUo Local Banks Raise
Interest Rate To Deposifors

By Advertisement in another col.
umn, it will be seen that the two To-
cal banks will very soon begin to pay
per cent on Savings Deposits.
This change of policy is in line with
a large majority of banking institu-
tions in this State. Pocomoke City
has probably, shown greater conser-
vatism in this respect than the ma
jority of towns and cities.
In order to meet apparent demands,
the local houses have determined to
abandon the 3 per cent. rate and give
their patrons the advantage of the
larger percentage.
Both of Pocomoke's institutions are
careful, progressive, and successful
The public can look with confidence
on any policy they may adopt.

rushed too much the Exchange man
agement is optimistic that the farm
ers will get fair prices for their crop
The first Maryland car was loaded on
Friday of this week and the Exchange
expects movement from Maryland to
increase daily and will probably be
very heavy the week of July 7th.
The heavy rain of several weeks
ago worked quite some damage and
loss to the potato growers, but wealth
er conditions having been favorable
since, potato fields have made quite
an improvement and the indications
are that account of increased acreage
over last year, the Exchange will have
to market as many potatoes as they
did last year, and, as above stated
are optimistic of being able to return
good prices to the growers.

THREE FEATURE FILMS
AT EMPIRE NEXT WEEK
Screen Stars Popular With Local
Movie Fans Will Be Seen In
Gripping Photoplays

The pictures to be shown at the
Empire Theatre next week consist of
three feature productions that have
received much fattering comment
from film critics.
On Monday and Tuesday, Betty
Compson, Paramount star will be seen
as the featured player in "To Have
and to Hold," a dramatic and pic
turesque photoplay of old England
and Virginia. Bert Lytell has the
leading mans role. The picture is
said to be one of exceptional charm
and thrill.
One of the most thrilling depic-
tions of fire at sea ever filmed forms
but one of the many punch incidents
of the Paramount perturbation of
"On the High Seas" which will be
shown at the Empire on Wednesday
and Thursday. This is practically the
opening incident, and from thence on
ward the action builds up thrillingly
until there comes a veritable cyclone
of a climax, and then suddenly an un-
expected finish follows. Dorothy Dali
ton and Jack Holt are the featured
players and Mitchell Lewis is the
leading member of the supporting
cast.
In "The Net" the William Fox
photoplay version of Maravene
Thompson's stage play, one Of the
most dramatic scenes follows a muir
der in an artists studio. This feature
film is to be shown on Friday and
Saturday. Peggy Davis, a former
Ziegfeld Follies show girl and who
has also posed for some of the best
known artists in this country, plays
the part of the artists model in the
picture. Because Of her actual ex-
perience she brings a convincing
Characterization to the screen. The
others who have leading roles in this
production are Barbara Castleton,
Raymond Bloomer, Albert Roscoe,
Helen Tracy and Claire DcLorez.
