WHY:
WHY=================
Ancient Timepieces Were
Expensive Affairs

Across the street lives an ancient
timepiece. tall and dark with narrow
lines of checkered inlay. 1t was
made in 1906 for one General Mower,
citizen of sterling worth, as they
used to say. The general bought the
face. weight and pendulum in Boston,
paying $65 for them. Mr. Cheney Of
Windsor made the brass wOrkS-$25
more-and John Dana of Woodstock
built the case, adding $50 to the cost.
One hundred and twenty-five dollars
altogether, you see, large sum in
deed for those bygone days, and one
that l couldn't at all account for until
/ discovered that brass weights and
works came chiefly from England, and
that the Nicholson resolution of 1906
positively prohibited their importation.
STILL such clocks must always have
been costly; as far back as the less
expensive year of 1890 81 pounds lin
hard money" was paid for a grand
fathers clock, a financial fact that
makes you wonder why collectors to-
day object to expending only little
They really are bargains Last month,
at country auction, one was sold
for S13O, and some people thought the
price high. And yet it probably cost
nearly as much when it first was
made
You know, it was said that it was the
very high price of these brass works
which originally inspired Connecticut
clock makers to white their works
out of hardwood Eli Terry deserves
the credit for this ingenious econ
omy, but the method was soon adopt
ed by many craftsmen, SO many, in
deed, that if the old label has been
lost in the various vicissitudes of re-
pairing, an attic residence and handy
ing about from owner to owner, it
is a little difficult to say just who
fashioned a particular clOck.-Alice

Why Spectacles Should
Be Carefully Fitted

Poorly fitted spectacles sometimes
lead to cancer. says Hygeia, popular
health magazine published by the
American Medical association.
Four cases of tumOrs developing
where badly-ftted glasses have fPri-
tated the skin have been reported in
New Haven, Conn, within recent
years. The places where spectacles
usually produce constant bruising of
the skin are the bridge of the nose,
the sides of the bridge near the inner
angle of the eye, the temples and at
the back of the ears.
There is no indication that spec
tacles of the 'pinch-on" type are any
more likely to cause such rubbing
than are those that have ear pieces,
says Hygeia. In any event, the pos
sibility of such irritations resulting
disastrously should be borne in mind
and ill-f1tting glasses should be cor
rected.

"Stand up and deliver"
1t matters not what course we may
be pursuing in business or among pro-

at some time or another to come face
to face with this form of sluggishness
and drag along for days and days un-
der it's strange spell in spite of all th''
energy we can summon or all the good

finally emerge from the torpor, we
realize that we have been in the
clutches of an inertia that had slowed
us down and frightened us until we
were not our normal selves.

ton at the County contest.
A County teachers examination
will be held at Glenwood City We'd
lesday, May 20, and Friday, May %.
Additional subjects required for 1st
and End grade certificates will be
given on May 20 only, and as many

A number of eight -month schools
have completed their 1924-25 terms
and have closed. Teachers annual
reports are being received almost
daily indicating that others are clos
ing. In commenting on the school
work this year this department feels
that in general the teaching work
has been great deal stronger this
year than last. The cooperation be-
tween the teachers and this depart
ment has been improved consider
ably which tends to make conditions
for teaching and learning more uni
form in the schools of the county.
Stronger, better prepared, more ex-
perienced and more conscientious
teachers have made the above results
possible.
