THAT CLOCK PROBLEM.

We received so many answers
to that clock problem Of JOSEPH
BENJAMIN, printed some time
ago, that every time we look at a
clock we don't know whether it
is going backward or forward.
We will not reprint the prob
lem, rather long one, but will
give some of the answers. A.
DUMAS, a matchmaker and re-
pairer, says: Reverse the hands
at IL o'clock and then at intervals

in twelve hours"
The answer Of "BRIX" is the
same.
BENJAMIN. the author of the
problem, says: "The first position
is at 1905 SLAB seconds; the second
position is 1910 10-143 seconds.
The other positions are at similar
consecutive intervals, l. e., at
multiples of SLAB minutes. The
total number of positions is 143."
GEORGE E. HUDSON says:
Including the eleven times the
hands are together there are 143
times in each twelve hours when
the interchange of the position Of
the hands will still indicate a pos
sible time and these are distrib.
uted at equal intervals through
the twelve hours, the interval be-
ing about minutes and 81
seconds"
Capt. w. D. FARIS, of Ports
mouth, Va, also works the prob.
lem. The other answers are ap-
parently inaccurate.

COPELAND
INSPIRES
SENATE
ACTION
Committee Responds to Urge
That Common Citizens
Should Be Heard.

A "town meeting" of Washing
ton citizens on the gasoline tax
bill will be held in the Senate
caucus room on Saturday after
noon, March 8, the Senate Dis
trict Committee decided today.
Although strongly in favor o:
the Ball substitute bill, the COM
mittee decided to give the local
citizens another opportunity to be
heard before reporting the bill to
lie Senate.
Inspired by Copeland.
Senator Copeland of New York,
inspired this action, declaring that
he did not believe that the organ
lied interests which had appeared
in opposition to the bill represented
the real sentiment of the people of
Washington. He said he wanted
the rank and file Of citizens to
have an opportunity to be heard.
I'VE may find out, said Senator
Copeland, that the bulk of Wash
ington citizens are in favor Of this
reciprocity bill instead of being op-
posed to it as now appears. I think
the Senate District Committee
should send out general invitation
to appear at meeting in which
they will all have an opportunity
! to be heard"
Senator Copeland will preside at
the hearing, and the District Com
mittee postponed all action on the
bill until it is held.
Governor Richie of Maryland will
act tomorrow on the request of the
District Commissioners for an ex-
tension of automobile reciprocity
agreement between Maryland and
the District of Columbia, which ex.
pires Friday.
The governor has delayed action
in order to get definite information
from Senator Ball of Delaware,
chairman of the District Committee.
as to the chances of the passage in
the near future of tn District gaso-
line tax bill
II am inclined at this time to ex-
| tend the agreement" Governor
Richie told callers this morning,

up my mind as to what to do. 1

Ball today, and I intend to wait
for few more hours, before acting.
THE present agreement will ex-
pire in two days, and I must take
some action within the next few
hours. 1 will probably wait until
tomorrow morning and take some
action on the Commissioners re.
quest regardless of whether or not
l hear from Senator Ball."
The existing agreement became
effective January 1, for two
months. This agreement was made
between the governor and the
District Commissioners, in the hope
that within the two months Con-
gress would take definite action
on the District gas tax bill. Passage
of this measure will insure perma
nent reciprocity.
