Timepieces Are GiUen
Most Rigorous Tests

Anyone may send his watch to the
bureau Of standards for a test to as
certain whether it qualities as a time
piece Of the highest grade, designated
as "class A" This privilege is used
chiefly by watch manufacturers, who
are thereby enabled to furnish each
tested timepiece with a government
certificate.
To ascertain the accuracy of q
timepiece it is placed in a large glass
front refrigerator, equipped with auto
matte devices that keep the tempera-
ture at a fixed point, in which the
watch runs" for stated periods at va
rious degrees of heat and cold. When
the regulator has been set, the flow
Of cold air from the ice chest above
the watch chamber is controlled by a
thermostatic device, and, when neces-
sary, warm air is introduced from the
outside. The three temperatures at
which all watches undergoing the test
are kept are 45, 20 and % degrees
Fahrenheit.
To qualify in "class Al a watch must
not vary more than four or five sec
Onds from correct time, and, in add
ton, it must be able to repeat its per-
Torrance in a variety of positions and
under varying conditions. In all there
are eleven specifications in the test
some Of them involving technical cal

Any variance made by the watches
under test from correct time is record

Not to Be OutdOne

It was the last day of school before
annual spring vacation and a teacher
in the Junior high school at Anderson
was having little success with a class
of pupils whose thoughts were bent
more on the vacation than on studies.
With the training of a first-rate school
mistress she feigned that all was well
with her, but school children are not
"fooled" by teacher.
Just as the last class Of the day adj
iourned, she made this remark to the
students:
81 hope you all have a very enjoy
able spring vacation, and hope that
when you come back you'll be in your
right minds"
Same to you," the children replied

Fruitful Land

It has been said that there Is no
place in South Africa where some va
riety fruit will not grow and thrive.
Apples, apricots, avocado pears, ba-
nanas, cherries, goOseberries, figs,
grapefruit, lemons, lines, pineapples,
plums, ounces, melons, olives, oranges
and peaches are grown in the Union on
a commercial scale.
One of the greatest advantages held
by South Africa as a fruit exporting
country is that, owing to its geographic
cal position, its products reach the
British market in the off season, ant
may also reach the United States
The trade has been remunerative de
spite heavy spOilage.

State Fair to Have
Largest Structure

Milwaukee-The new manufacturers
building at the state fair here will be
the largest structure of it's kind on
any fair grounds in the nation when
the annual Wisconsin exposition opens
next Monday, managers of the fair
claim.
The building is 800 by $50 feet in
area, with a basement $50 by 80 feet,
and about 5000 feet of outside con-
crete flooring. In all, the area provid-
ed totals about 10000 square feet. The
structure is built of concrete, steel,
steel-sash glazing and brick, and con-
stitutes unit that may be added
when necessary by removal of spec
tally constructed north wall, designed
to care for that necessity.
Virtually all of the space is under
contract and the show offers to the
public is rated as an educational one.
Prospects for a fine exhibition for the
opening season are good, it is stated.
Many Wisconsin manufacturers and
business houses, never before exhibit
tors at the state fair, have taken space
and will show this time, o. E. Remey,
fair secretary, says.
Only one other fair building of the
size Of the new structure or larger is
in contemplation in the Country, Of
ficials state. That one is at Spring

LUCY PAGE CASTOR
DIED in CHICAGO
Foe of Cigarettes Dies at Hinsdale
Hospital this Morning After
Short Illness.

Chicago, Ill.-Miss Lucy Page Gas
ton, founder of the National Anti-Cig-
arctic league, died today in Hins-
dale hospital.
Miss CASTOR was injured in street
car accident several months ago. Ply
sicians were uncertain to what extent
her injuries contributed to her death
She was conscious until half hour
before death, physicians said.
She was born in 1860 at Delaware
Ohio, and her career as reformer be-
gan while she was attending the Hi
nois state normal school. Her parents
had removed from Ohio to Lacon, Ill
During her career she had lied raids
on saloons, gambling resorts and Gig
arctic establishments.
Undaunted by ridicule which often
met her efforts Miss CASTOR was the
arch enemy Of tobacco for more than
a quarter of century as superintend-
emit of the organization which she
founded. In spite of her admissions
that smoking among women and boys
was on the icrease, she continued her
efforts.
She sent a letter to the late Presi-
dent Harding asking him to quit smok-
ing cigarettes and make similar re-
quest of other nationally known dig
nitaries.
During the war, when relatives and
friends were supplying soldiers with
cigarettes, she never relaxed her ef-
forts in spite of appeals made in the
name of patriotism.
