RING WATCH MAKES BID
TO REPLACE WRIST WATCH
Manufacture of Tiny Timepiece by
Machinery Said to Have Much
to Do With This.

The vogue of the bracelet watch
appears likely to be succeeded by the
vogue of the ring watch-that is, of
the diminutive watch attached to a
ring to be worn on the finger. ac-
cording to REPORTS from Switzerland
TO the Detroit News.
Hitherto the ring watch has been
made by hand, the consequences
being that il has been very expensive
and has remained something of ii
curiosity. These microscopic pieces
of mechanism are now being made
by machinery and turned out i'll con-
siderable quantity, so that the price
is likely before long to come within
popular range.
The arm jerk to uncover the wrist
watch will then become unnecessary
and one viii be able to see the time
without physical contortionS
The wrist watch, however, is not
going to accept defeat without put
ting up a fight, and the attention
given to it of late has been in the
direction of increasing it's reliability.
The reliability Of the ring watch, on
the other hand. can hardly at pres
ent be guaranteed.

ficials whom Brewer said were inter-
fering with the inquiry. They set
forth that there had been duplication

ton and that duplicates of bonds had

there had been no loss to either the

COOLIDGE MAKES DEFINITE
PROPOSAL NORTHWEST AID

Washington. - President Coolidge
outlined definite proposals of federal
aid at q special conference on north
western agriculture.
The principal methods of federal aid
suggested included direct extension of
federal funds, as proposed in the pend
ing Norbeck- -Burtness bill, to finance
wheat growers in attempting diversi-
fication in their farming, and cOntinu-
ance of advances through the war
finance corporation to cooperative en-
terprises and to financial institutions
in the farming regions.
The first step, the president said,
should be the passage of the Norbeck-
Burtness bill, providing an appropri-
alton to be administered through the
secretary of agriculture and two addi-
tional commissioners for the purpose
of prompting diversification.
The president reminded those pres
ent that he had mentioned distinct
limits to the scope of assistance that
the federal government could render,
and that these limits must not be over
stepped There have been severe
losses to banking and commercial in
terests on account of the serious con-
ditions prevailing in the northwest,
but, he said, the losses of private in
terests must not be transferred to the
public treasury.
