same as the giant Ford freighters
which ply the Great Lakes carrying
coal and iron ore.
It is the business of a matchmaker,
whose workshop is in a bright little
room at the Dearborn laboratories, to
see that the ships clocks are in per-
feet time. He also keeps check on
the watches used by trainmen on the
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad,
the Ford railway, and this alone is an
important job.
incidentally, the D. T. & I. is the
only railroad in America which sup
plies watches to its trainmen. Some
200 watches are constantly in use,
with so cleaners" in the watchmaker's
room to go out whenever the occasion
requires. No employee of the railroad
is PRINTED to either set or attempt to
regulate the watch he carries. Any
timepiece that is off standard time ev-
en- minute must be turned in for a
"loaner" until it is repaired and reg
ulated.

State And Peninsula News

Yachtsmen from all over the east
ern section of the United States be-
tween New York and Norfolk throng-
ed St. Michaels to witness the Fourth
Annual Regatta of the Miles River
Yacht Club Of St. Michaels. A larger
number Of boats were seen in the har-
Dor and a greater number of yachts
men were in attendance than at any
previous regatta.
Starting off with great reception
at the home of the commodore, John
p. Cosden, on Thursday from 4 to Z
P M, the visitors were royalty en-
tertained on the shore by the club.
Every minute of the time something
vas going on, and the streets of St.
Michaels from Thursday morning on
when the races started were thronged
with visitors.
While the owners were on shore a
fleet of the finest lot of boats ever as
sembled in Talbot waters were pulling
and Juggling at their anchors, and
gave the impression that they were
anxious to get away to a good start
in an effort to win the splendid tro-
plies offered to the winners of the
various events.
Some of the fastest boats of the
country arrived in time to take part
in the races. One man from Philadel-
phia raced last year and he returned
with his boat recently equipped with
a new Liberty motor capable of max
ing fifty miles an hour.
Early Monday morning of last week
burglars broke into the Saltz grocery
store, operated by Kirk Saltz, Girls
field, and robbed the safe Of $500
During the early part of the night
Saltz went into the store and complet.
ed his bank deposit slip, but left, fail
, ing to lock the safe door. 1t is thought
that he was being watched from the
outside and when he retired to the
second floor, where he lives, the burg.
lars got to work.
This is the second grocery store
theft in Crisfeld in recent weeks, the
establishment of w. E. Goldman hav
ing been robbed of 500 a few week:
ago during the day. No arrests have
been made in this case. An attempt
to rob the billiard parlor of Townsend
& Vessels was thwarted when the
proprietor found two boys crouchet
behind counter as he was closing fol
the night. They were arrested and re-
leased on bail.

Telephones Popular
In The United States
Almost Twice AS Many Here
AS In Balance Of World
Combined

The United States leads the world
in telephones-talks more too. Last
year the average American had 1916
conversations by telephone, while the
average German talked only 81
times. The Frenchman had 208, the
Englishman 20.4, and the Italian go
conversations in the same period of
time. In Scandinavia a much better
showing was made than elsewhere in
Europe. Denmark led with 1887 con-
versations per capita, while Norway
had 1895, and Sweden 95.7. But even
these figures are far behind the rec
ords of the United States in telephone
calls.
There are nearly twice as many
telephones in the United States as in
all the rest of the world put Together.
Out of total of 24,576,121 telephones
in use throughout the world on Janu-
airy 1, 1924, there were 15,369,454 or
60 per cent in the United States of
America. Europe had 6,390,765 tele-

time A BIG FACTOR IN
FORD ORGANIZATION
Element Of Time Radiates Into
Every Division Regulating Every
thing In Organization

In every great industry the element
Of time plays a most important part,
but it would be difficult to find any
institution where it requires such close
attention as in the Ford organization
which not only keeps one matchmaker
continually at work, but in addition
keeps corps of clock men busy see
ing that some hundreds of clocks tick
the time to the second.
This element of time radiates into
every division of the Ford industry,
regulating the hour when lumber
reaches the mills, when coal is loaded,
when the ore reaches the blast fur
naces, when molten metal is poured,
when motor cars are completed, when
Ford trains move, Ford ships sail,
Ford airplanes wing their way into
space and when Ford employees come
to work and quit.
Today Ford ship, sailing for home
after carrying the name Ford across
the Atlantic to European ports for the
first time, is proceeding on its way
with clocks that were checked and
regulated in the Ford Engineering
Laboratories at Dearborn, where
precision in everything is the watch
word. Another Ford ship, plying the
Atlantic coast likewise carries clocks
regulated in these laboratories, the

Prepare Youngsters
For School Opening
DR.. John S. Fulton Sends A
Message To Little Ones
In Maryland

If hugh birthday cake could be
made for the youngsters in the coun-
ties of Maryland who will reach school
! age this year, it would have to be
lighted by more than 10000 candles
il there were to be one on it for each
child. There would have to be an
other about the same size for the six
year Odds in Baltimore city.
Up and down the length and breadth
Of Maryland, in the highlands and the
lowlands, this army over 10000 strong
is modelling, getting ready for the
great adventure of going to school.
Half of it will advance upon the
schools in Baltimore city and the rest
on those in the counties.
DR.. John S. Fulton, Director of the
State Department Of Health, sends
this message to each of the six year
Odds: "The grown-ups will see to it
that you members Of the infantry are
trig and neat and make a good ap-
pearance when you go up for enroll
n1ent in the schools. But you want
something more than a spick and span
outfit. You want to be sure that your
eyes, ears, teeth, tonsils and the rest
of you, are in good shape for school
| life.
"Ask your mother and your father
to take you to your doctor, or to the
nearest Child Health Conference of
the State Bureau of Child Hygiene,
for careful going over before you
go to school. Don't wait; get them
to take you this week. The doctor
or the dentist may find something that
needs attention, and that if corrected
now, may prevent serious sickness
and much anxiety later on.
"Another thing to remember, is that
the Maryland law requires every one
to be vaccinated against smallpox be-
fore your name can be placed on the
school roll. Don't forget that wher
you are taken to the doctor.
GOOD luck to each of you as yor
start in to school, but better still, goot
health to every one of YOU"

phones on that date, or 26 per cent OF
Tie worlds total. The remaining g.
1902 telephones, comprising II pei
cent of the whole, were scattered
throughout Asia, Africa, Oceania and
the Western Hemisphere outside OF
the United States.
While this country had only one
telephone for every Z people, in all
other countries combined there was
but one telephone for every 1876 in
habitants. The telephone systems OF
the world showed net growth of l.
517,291 telephones during 1923. OF
thse, S75,6O1, or we'll over half, were
added to the telephone systems of the
United States.
On January /, 1924 there were 1877
telephones for every 100 population
in the United States, as compared
with 3.S in Germany, 2.5 in Great
Britain, Is in France and 0.4 in Italy.
The countries approaching nearest to
the American record in this respect
were Canada with ITO telephones per
100 people, and Denmark with 81.
These figures take on added signifi-
canoe when it is recalled that most of
the telephones both in Canada and in
Denmark are owned and operated by
private enterprise, as in the United
States, while relatively underdevelop-
ed systems of Germany, Great Brit
ain and France are under government
monopoly, showed a development of
only O.S telephones per 100 popula-

TO LIMIT THE SALE OF ARMS

Russia has refused to participate
in the international conference be-
ginning at Geneva yesterday, the
purpose of which is to find ways for
controlling the traffic in arms and
ammunition. The United States is
represented. The problems before
the conference are knotty ones
in many respects.
1t is recalled that following the
war. when it was realized that with
the great store of arms and am
munition on hand there would be
temptation to dispose of it to ad-
vantage, the powers at the Peace
Conference at Paris, signed what
was known as the Convention of
st. German, three general PROPOSE
tons being made; that buying and
selling should be permitted only
from government to government;
that publicity, should follow the
sales; that sales in what was term
ed certain backward areas" should
not be made.
The regulation and supervision of
these things being placed in the
hands of the League of Nations the
United States did not wish to come
in. Likewise it hesitated because
certain of the South American re-
publics would not sign. These prop
ositions are yet under considera-
ton. There is yet line of cleave-
age between those nations whose
manufacturers have arms to sell and
those who do not. Certain countries
Ike Persia, .Abyssinia and Arabia
object to being regarded as among
the backward areas" not entitled IN
buy arms if they happen to want
them.
1t is a matter OF some surprise
that Mexico appears unwilling to ac-
company the United States into this
conference, seeing how We refused
TO sell her rebels arms against
Oregon. And there is China, where
a lot Of trouble has arisen because of
the arms which other nations have
sold to her. what about her, there
being no one with authority to speak
for her and she being incapable of
giving such authority? Truly the
conference will need both wisdom
and diplomacy.
