NEW YORK, September % (N.AN,A)
Since the telephone company stopped
telling the time for nothing the clocks
on the street and in the towers OF
buildings have a new responsibility, but
they have not lived up to it. Several
are in a class with the notorious clocks
of Paris-they never go right.
More clocks are needed The one
in the Metropolitan Life tower, which
has a name for always being right, is
now hidden by new skyscrapers from
offices that used to operate by it. One
man bought field glass so that in an
Office far away he could live by this
clock, but now a gigantic wall blots it
from view.

Sometime this month the Navy

some of the detail of the Huter rig
ging work, the metal hun having
been completed. The. rigid airship
when ready to fly Will contain 200,-
900 cubic feet Of helium gas. and
will take about two days for infla-
tion. ,t .,,..,
Naval lighter-thaI-air. experts,
swhile confident the new ship, win
prove its worth, were wary OF max
ing any definite predictions as to
its performance. They pointed out
the dirigible was built as an expert
ment, to determine what It would do
rather than to prove any definite
theories arrived at before its con-
Struction. ~
Some of the claims made for ALL
metal ships, however, include asaer-
tions that they will have better
maneuverabiIity than their non
rigid. floppy sisters, and that they
will be less affected by adverse
weather conditions than the non.
~ Fly Oh 1881
And as construction work was
ending on the metal dirigible, con-
struction Of the two. new non-rigid
dirigibles by the Goodyear Company
at Akron, Ohio for the Navy was
well underway.
These two giants of the air, which
are expected to fly in 1891, win cost
the Government $5,375,OO0 and ST..
100000, respectively, the, higher
priced ship to hold six ana a half
million cubic feet of gas. They win
surpass in size anything of their
kind now in the air Or under con-
etruction.

Tests for wire netting tension are
about completed Oh the two big air
liners and erection 0f the largest

In August, Navy officials announced.
This work will continue ip until
the first of the year, it was expected
after which CONSTRUCTION work on the
ship proper will be Begun. Con-
struction of girders on d production
basis will get underway during the
summer, according to present plans.
The hangar for the. two new
giants will be about half completed
and part of it ready for occupancy

FIGHT TARIFF BOOSTS
Canada May Withdraw
0. K. on Waterway Project.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Ca-
madam officials gently have init
mated to Washington that there is a
possibility the consummation of the
st. Lawrence waterway project
might be blocked if congress mater
tally increases the tariff barrier
against Canada in the forthcoming
special session.
It has been suggested Premier
Mackenzie King might not be able
to carry public opinion with him in
favor of the waterway if the Amer
lean tariff wall is increased"
This situation is typical of the
difficulties foreseen by diplomats
here if President Hoover's farm re-
lief program causes general tariff
increases on agricultural products.
Four countries, France, Cuba, Ar
gentina and Great Britain, already
have approached the state depart
ment to explain their opposition to
increases on specific commodities.

MAIN STREET.
COMPOS ON
LOAN OF $500
300, 900 Copies of Book Are
Sold; Earns Fortune
for Author.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, March Main
Street." the phenomenon of recent
American literature. the book that
buried it's author and publishers I'M
der an unprecedented golden flood
of profits and royalties, was written
by Sinclair Lewis while he lived
virtually from hand to mouth for
nine months on a loan of $500.
This is the romantic inside story
of Lewis triumph ss revealed by
Arthur Bartlett Maurice in the
March issue of the Bookman.
Lewis, although he had written
four more or less successful novels
before main Street." had never
contrived to keep a bank account.
But he had built up an abiding faith
in the ability of Sinclair Lewis as a
novelist. SO, when he felt the time
had come to depict American small
town life, he borrowed the $500 from
his father, hid away in Washington,
D. c., in November, and emerged
the following August win the
manuscript.
Although his publishers believed
in Lewis and his book, neither they
nor the writer had any idea of the
sensation, it was to create. Lewis
estimated it would sell $1,000 copies.
The publishing firm guessed $4,000.
One rash head salesman made an
estimatee of $4,000. Within two
months it had been bought by $4,000
readers-and to date the sales rec
ord shows approximately 100000
copies, excluding foreign transla-
tionS.
Incidentally, the Bookman article
discloses that the Lewis novel was
not the result of a weekend in
SEPARATION. The red-haired Mime
sotan really began work on it fifteen
years before it was published, when
as sophomore at Yale he wrote a
tale labelled, "The Village Virus"
embodying the essential idea that
emerged in 1920 as "Main Street"
In a second draft, some years later,
he wrote $4,000 words before aban-
doning the attempt. Then he car
ried the story around in his mind,
changing its characters and re-
arranging it's plot and ideas for ten
years before he set pen to paper
again.

NO MORE CATARRH
This Simple Home Treatment Has
Stood the Test of Time.

Every fall and winter, for more than
twenty years, thousands of people have
made it a daily practice to breathe the
air of Hyomei and so keep themselves
free from Catarrh, Coughs, Colds,
Bronchitis and Sore Throat.
This is certain and you should try
it. If you will breathe Hyomei daily,
as directed, it will free you and keep
you free from all these troubles or it
won't cost you a cent.
Hooks Drug Co. or any reliable
druggist can supply you with the
Complete Hyomei Outfit, including
hard rubber pocket inhaler. The in
haler will last a life time and extra
bottles of the liquid Hyomei cost but
a few cents. A few drops of oil in
the inhaler will last for days and its
pure, soothing, antiseptic, healing air,
hreathed deep in the air passages of
your nose and throat, should keep you
free from coughs, colds and catarrh
all winter long. Pleasant to use, takes
but a few minutes daily and is guar
