The World and All
Az o A wATCH
BY Charles P. Driseol

R-no. Nevada.
Dear Mr. DriscoIi:
have been interested in your discussion of watch
Is, and in the letters about watches that will not keep
time on certain people.
cannot wear a watch at all. 7 have . beautiful
gold watch, left me by my mother. 1t is about sixty
years old. I also have a wrist watch given me by some
Filipino boys who worked under me in the Philippine
postal service.
The watches .wont keep time for me. They run
fast, then slow. It is useless for me to wear either
Of them.
Ny husband carried my watches for years, working
among dynamos. in electrical work. and they kept per-
feet time for him. ! have been told that il Is soma
sort Of magnetism that keeps the watches from keeping
time when I wear them.
However, il happens that 7 do not need 10 wear a
watch. ] have a peculiar ability to tell the time. at
any moment Of the day or night, within q margin Of a
few minutes. ] can awaken out of a sound sleep and
tell the tine thus. ! never wear a watch any more.
MRS. MAUDE S~LINGERLAND.
This discussion grows interesting indeed. ] have
had letters from several states. citing insx aces Of per-
sons who could not carry a watch that would keep the
correct time. Mrs. SlinEcrland j. one OF the few who
have written in about their own experiences in this
line. and | believe her testimony il worthy Of serious
notice.
! am saving the letters that / get on this subject,
and when the opportunity comes. I shall present the
whole evidence to one Of my doubling scientific friends.
Why is it that watches will keep time on some per-
sons. and refuse TO keep time when carried by certain
other persons ! believe iii ia up to the scientific gem
tleman 70 cease denying that such . phenomenon ex-
lists, and 70 seek for an explanation.
I would be very glad to receive information about
any other well-authenticated cases tending to support
the belief that there are persons for whom watches re-
fuse 70 keep time.

A writer in q magazine records the old Washington
legend that when President Tyler invited Charles
Dickens 70 dinner the author replied with . curt de-
clination, saying merely, 1T does not suit my con-
venience-" No one but a high-hsnded British literary
lion would nave dared fashion such an abrupt answer"
says the magazine writer. A Boston admirer Of Dick
ems has endeavored to learn whether there is any au-
thority for the story. and finds, = any one would sup
pose. that there il not.
In .Forster's biography Of Dickens Is q quotation
from a letter written by Dickens. which says:
W go 10 n levee tthe Presidents house, tonight.
lie has invited me to dinner on Friday. | am obliged
OF decline. for we leave per steamboat tomorrow Wed
nesday) night.
In his American Notes Dickens shows that he
solicitously inquired whether he could decline : Presi-
dents invitation without improperly. and was thank
full for the sensible etiquette Of a republican court
which permitted him to do SO. He also gives a friendly
description Of President Tyler as a man with a mild
and pleasant expression and a manner remarkably un-
affected, rentlemanIy and agreeable. That Il the truth
Of the matter. The ~high-handed British lion" was not
= high-handed" at all. In a biography Of Tyler it is
recorded that Dickens made a pleasant impression on
the President.
II Il not improbable that legends or this kind
sprang up after the publication Of Dickens American
Notes" in which his gift Of caricature did not spare
the country that he had visited. Those who shared the
widespread indignation at his uncomplimentary COM
ments on America overlooked the fact that the drift Of
his mind was c~austically critical, and that human So
ciety in his eyes oftener bore a humorously grotesque
aspect than any ether. And they did not consider
whether, after allowing for some literary exaggeration.
Ne had seriously misrepresented the more uncouth as
poets Of II American life.
Dickens is not the only literary Englishman around
whom legends Of rudeness still cluster. Matthew Ar
mold j. said to have shown irritation in one American
town because his hosts met him AZ the station III a hired
carriage, not keeping a carriage Of their own. Arnold
was not himself a wealthy man. holding a position as
school inspector and also receiving a small Government
pension, and he must have known how to meet persons
Of limited incomes. On is face. the legend Is incredi-
bic. Yet II is repeated BY highly responsible persons.

President Coolidge has announced that the $780,
100000 tax reduction maximum set BY Secretary Mellon
must Be adhered 70 in the drafting OF the new tax law.
The president was pictured as standing squareIy be-
hind the Treasury estimate and the White House dis
russion Of the tax cut in advance Of the treasury esti-
mate, when he made known that he was irrevocably OPP
posed to the S40O.o00oO0 reduction proposed by the
United States Chamber Of Commerce and John n. Car
ner, minority leader.
Apparently the hearing Of testimony BY the house
committee has made little or no impression upon Presi-
dent Coolidge. Practically all major business and in
dustrial interests have appeared before t~he>committee
pointing out inequalities o. the assessment plan and
the income tax law. They have made q strong case,
BUT apparently their arguments will be ineffective when
the final action is taken.
The United States Chamber Of Commerce, in its
alea for q S400.O00,Oo reduction, pointed out that the
present tax burden Is sitting business. Attention was
also called 10 the fact that American industries, after
several years Of unprecedented prosperity, are now
