Lifetime of a Watch

Experts say that the lifetime of
good watch is fifty years. In its daily
duties, the balance yibrates $4,000
times every hour, or over 157O00.000
times year. The hairspring makes
a similar number of vibrations and
an equal number of ticks come from
the escapement. This is marvellous
record, considering the small quantity
Of food that has been consumed by
its constant action. Experts say
''food." because whatever labors must
be fed, and the watch ''livesn on about
16 inches of handspring every 24 hours.

Weather Conditions
Improve Ranges

Local showers improved the range
and crops in southwestern New Mex
leo, and cattle are reported picking
up. Light to heavy showers in Ari-
iona were beneficial to ranges, and
the water supply generally is ade-
quate. In southeastern Arizona the
range is getting green, and cattle are
improving; farther west, in southern
Santa Cruz county, all stock condi-
tions are reported good. Although
the grass is dry in eastern Graham
county, the range is good, and stock
are fat. Heavy rain fell at White
river, and in that vicinity range and
water are excellent, and stock good.

DAVIS WOULD END DANGER OF FLOOD
Man Will Solve Mississippi
 Problem, He Says

Washington. oct. 10 Copyright 1927 by United Prcss) The Missis- sippi river problem is a "man-mada problem and man will solve it," ac- cordins to Secretary Of War Dwight r, Davis in an exclusive interview with tn" United Press today.
 And We intend to handle It." he added simply but cmphatically
 Mans attempt to chain the Father or Waters" in the past. he explained. had tended to make the uuruly river moro terrifying when in wrath, while the ircomplytcness Of mans previous works had allow ed the 1927 flood to wrcak wide spread devastation.
 But mastery Of he great engine cring problem involved is humanly possible. Davis held. if sufficient funds are forthcoming for engineers to build strongly and uniformly enough to cope with q flood as big as, or mggcr than. the one of 1927. Just that engineering fcats they shall undertake is now tho subject Of a tiooI control study which as Davis pit if, iS crowling two years work into six months time" " 'ho feel" he said. that tn" Mis- ~issippl flood control problem is T problem in. of, and by itself.

 If we -ct money enough, we can carry out q proper flood control system. We arc not troubled about i tho engineering problems, They can he sol,ci just as the complex on ~ineorinc tasks in that vast work of digging the Panama Canal were { mastered"
 Davis explained that tho 1927 ! floods had shown that tho lovoos i per so did not fail to function; but tho fact that they had not been com plo'ed in uniform strength and standards had made it possible for
 breaks at many points. "A chain
